TIGER STAR MISSED

Princeton Says Dickerman'S Mar
riage Kept Him from Varsity.


Princeton. y. j., Nov. "a. II was
, learned to-day that Charles Augustus
Dickerman. the Princeton football star,
was secretly married on October 10 to
Miss Gertrude Marie Corlss. of Rox-
bury. Mass. IL is now recalled that the
halfback was irregular in his college
attendance early in the semester, and
for week in October neglected both
classes and football.
When he returned he resumed his
work with a feeling that IL was quite
the usual thing for varsity star to
leave for a week and tell no one.
Now the mystery is uncovered. The
bride is telephone operator in the
banking firm OF Tower & Underwood.
of Boston, Mass. the daughter Of Mr.
and Mrs. James J. Corliss, of Roxbury.
Mass. Although Dickerman does not
tell, he probably met her when he was
student at Exeter. The wedding took
place az Bellows Falls, VI.
The student body seems TO think his
Indifferent showing in football is d.
rectly due 10 the event. Some say
that il he had not missed that week he
would undoubtedly have made the first
team. He was used in the fourth
quarter OF the Yale game, and his re-
lentless line plunging gained thirty
two yards.

FINDING OF TWO BODIES
TELLS TALE OF THEFT
Police Say Men Fell Down Shaft
After Stealing Silk.

The bodies Of a negro and white
man, clasped in each others arms, were
found early yesterday morning at the
bottom Of an elevator shaft in the
twelve story loft building at 129 West
Twenty-seventh Street. They were bat
tered, as though from a long fall. AL
though every elevator door was closed,
between the tenth and eleventh floors
hung the elevator, filled with $500
worth of silk, taken from the Wearwell
Waist Company, on the fifth floor. The
men were identified as Robert Green,
the negro elevator boy in the loft
building, and Jacob Jagendorf, an en-
gineer of the building at 1l5 West
Twenty-seventh Street.
Robert Dileon, an elevator man at
that address, told the police Jagendorf
had given him 80 cents for carrying
bit and brace to Green, which were
found In one of his pockets.
Neither man had been home Tuesday
night. II is believed by the police that
they, with a third man, took the silk
from the company's rooms and we're
loading it on the elevator when il
started upward. One, according to the
police theory, stepped into the shaft
and, falling, dragged his companion
down with him. Their accomplice,
frightened, ran, closing the door.

RARE OPERATION SAVES BABY

Death TO Newborn Infant

No sooner had Mrs. Rose Kalman, Of
1866 Twenty-eighth Street, Coney
island, given birth TO a son in the Beth
David Hospital, at 18th Street and
Lexington Avenue. Tuesday night. than
DR.. Martin J. Loeb, who escorted the
infant into the world, noticed that he
had peculiar defect in the formation
of the abdominal wall which rlioht
cause death at any moment. Within
ten minutes he had the ch,ld on the
operating table. and. with the assist
ance of two colleagues, performed an
unusual operation. which promises TO
save the child's life.
The infants abdominal wall on each
side was almost as thin as transparent
membrane. The slightest cough or cry
would have broken this membrane and
caused the child's death. With Drs.
Kessef and Shapiero. DR.. Loeb cut out
the membrane and sewed the two sides
of the wall together.
Last night, twenty-four hours after
the operation, the child was in good
condition, and it was believed that 1t
would live.

PAPA-IN-LAW'S KISS
TAKEN AS APPROVAL
AnnuIment Suit by Husbands
Parents Surprise to Her,
Says Stage Girl.

~ am feet inches tall. I am a
pony, and ponies are hard to get"
This description of herself was given
In the Supreme Court yesterday by Mrs
Dorothy Gates Herman, whose hus-
band is Philip Herman, eighteen years
old. Mr.. and Mrs. James s. Herman,
parents Of the young man, apparently
think that it is much more trouble 10
get rid of pony than II is to acquire
one. Whether they have succeeded in
doing so Justice Gavegan will decide,
following the trial Of the annulment
suit brought in Herrman's behalf by
his father and mother.
Herman was seventeen years old
and attending Pawling School when he
met Miss Gates, who was then eighteen,
and. as she said, pony IN the chorus
Of Watch Your Step" which title
meant nothing to Herman, according
TO his parents. She was referred 10 as
a show girl. But, she explained, show
girls are tall, statuesque young women.
Mrs. Herman is petite and has blonde
hair, which is cut on the bobbed style.
Young Herman met his present wife
in a restaurant in West Forty-ffth
Street, where she was chaperoned by
Mrs. Raymond Belmont, daughter-in-
law of August Belmont, formerly Miss
Ethel Lorraine, with whom she occu-
pies an apartment at 245 West Fifty
first Street.
When Philip threatened to kill him
self unless she married him, his wife
says she saved his life. philip was
very much in love with me-" she said
yesterday "He begged me at least
sixty times to marry him. He threat
ened to kill himself if | did not marry
him. so | did just to save him."
Without the knowledge or consent of
Herrman's parents they were married.
Philip being under the legal age, his
parents began the suit to annul the
marriage when they learned of it.
Young Mrs. Herman seemed much
surprised that the suit to separate her
from her husband should be brought,
because, she said, the elder Herman
kissed her when he learned of the

HIGHER SALARIES
URGED BY WOODS
patrolmen and Captains Are Un

Committee.

The finance committee Of the Board
Of Aldermen finished it's hearings on
the city,budget for 1916, yesterday. 1t
will report back 20 the Board Monday,
but il is considered unlikely that the
committee will make any recommends
tions at variance with the items as
passed by the Board of Estimate.
Police Commissioner Woods told the
committee that the worst paid men IN
the department were the first grade pa
trolmen. at 81 400 n year, and the cap
tains. who get $3.50. lie advocated a
raise to 81 800 at lea-t for the patrol
men. Both these salaries are fixed by
law. He also declared he would like
TO have the power to reward men Tor
faithful service.
"There has been discussion on the
Commissioners power 10 punish he
said, "but what concerns US far more Is
his power to reward. | can attend TO
the punishment, but | can't reward.
That is a bad feature. Men who give

charge Of their duty. and there is no

The Aldermen cannot increase sal

concentrations to that effect.

Ter Prendergast were asked by members
of the committee about the al
lowance for the Board Of Estimate

toned about the $4,000 year salary
allowance of William Writ, of Gary,
Ind, who has been establishing the
Gary system in the public schools. Con
trolier PIendergast explained that the
position Mr.. Writ will hold amounted
TO nothing but a transfer from the De-
partment of Education, where at pres
emit he is receiving the same compensa-
tion, adding that he had more than
saved the city his salary even if it
were five times the amount.

lieve his appointment is one of the best

Yields to Leaders and VIII

PLAN FOR PANAMA

Defence Need Relied On by the

Message Almost Finished.

Washington. Nov. 24.-President
Wilson has decided TO yield to the de-
mands of Democratic leaders in Con-
gress and recommend specific means to
meet the steadily growing deficit and
the additional cost of national defence, 1T
was reported to-day in circles close to
the administration. 1t is said that his
message will contain some discussion OF
this question, but that he will avoid
detailed recommendations which might
be considered 70 infringe on the pre-
negatives of Congress.
In general 1t is understood, the
President will declare for an increase
Of various internal taxes and the I'M
position OF new ones, and oppose any
changes in the tariff. The original plan
of the administration TO meet the imam
cial needs by the issue OF Panama Canal
bonds has met such vigorous opposition
that apparently it has been abandoned,
at least for the present.
There are indications that 1t is still
held i'm reserve in case serious trouble
is found in framing tax measures.
Some of the older Democrats remem-
Der wildly the result of the bond issue
in the Cleveland administration. They
believe il better to meet the opposition
which taxation is sure to arouse than
10 attempt 70 provide an acceptable ex-
cuse for bonds.
The administration plans TO explain
that the new taxes are made necessary
largely by the demands of prepared
nose and IN a slipht oxtent hy the fall
ing off in customs revenues, due to the
war. Every effort will be made to
cover up the Treasury deficit. following
the lines taken by Secretary McAdoo
when he issued new form of Treasury
statement which added overnight some
sS0,O00,000 to the nominal "balance on
hand" although there was not the
slightest real improvement in the
Treasurys condition.
1t is fervently hoped that the plea
that "if the country wants defence II
must pay for it,. will carry the day
with the public.
