WOMAN SAVES DOG.
POLICE KICK IT OUT
Homeless Pup Feeds Will.
Crowd Gathers-Scene Shifts
to Station House; Exit Pun.

For an hour and a half las. nisht I.
homeless, cold and hungry bull terrier
pup was a real Broadway tsvorise. Re
also suffered the fate Of most Broad,
way favorites.
Like many others, the pup had fame
thrust upon him. Fate In the form o.
a broom welded by hotel porter sen,
him slithering and yslping oct onto tie
sidewalk near the corner Of 18th st. A
richly dressed woman who was passing
found him covering there. She imne-
diately became all pity.
She stopped over the pup, pe.tins
him in such extravagsnt fashion thu,
a crowd gathered to watch the process
She soon progressed from words 10
deeds. Elbowing her way through the
crowd, she walked to an automobile b.
side the curb, lifted out a heavy sur
robe and returned. making 3 bed for
the pup on the sidewalk.
Cheers on the outskirts Of the IN.
creasing crowd inspired her TO further
efforts. Calling a newsboy, the bens-
factor pressed quarter in his hst and
ordered him 70 get some warm mix II
a hurry. The youngster returned N a
jiffy with five cents worth. The other
twenty cents were in his pocket.
Meanwhile the pup, soothed By the
warmth of the automobile robe, bad
dropped off to sleep. His protector
carefully walked him. made him drink
the milk and resumed guard. Thea |,
policeman pushed his way into ne
circle. He advised the woman that 50,
was collecting a crowd and that she
would better take her charge TO the
West 47th st. police station. Just then
the chauffeur of the automobile BY the
curb stepped in and demanded his robe.
With the pup trailing behind and
fifty persons bringing up the rear o.
the procession. the woman walked 70
the station house. There she turned
over her charge to Lieutenant Frye.
She also ordered the doormsn 70 see
that the s. P. C. A. was called up 10
the morning. She slipped % cents 10
the doorman's hand and departed;
And right there the pups luck os-
serted him. His friend had seareey
got out of the block when the station
house door flew open. there was rusn-
ing sound. and the pup, propelled oy
roundsman's boot. sailed nimb!y cu'
into the street again. He departed III

VACANT 10 YEARS,
BUILDING LEASED
Broadway Property of
Late John q. Wendell
Never Had a Tenant.

The building at the northwest corner
OF Broadway and 60th Str owned Dy
the Wendell estate, is soon TO be occu-
MED for the first time since II was
erected. ten years ago.
II was due TO the peculiar ideas OF
the late John 6. Wendell, the Hermit
NJ Fifth Avenue" who died in Santa
Monica. Cal, November "a, 1914, that
the structure never had tenant. Many
persons sought leases, but they were
not suitable tenants, according TO MI
Wendel's way Of thinking.
Mr.. Wendel's real estate holdings are
valued a: between $S0,00O,0O0 and SlOO',
100000. Before his death It was SAD
he was the largest individual owner OF
nropertv with frontage on Broadway.
He never rented any of his buildings
for theatre, restaurant or cafe use, eX-
cent in one case. An old friend, John
Kerrigan. now serving in the Assembly,
kept a saloon until recently in the OLD
wooden house adjoining the corner
building leased yesterday.
This building was erected loT
garage. It will be occupied by the Bur-
mol Fuel Corporation, recently lncorpo-
rated The structure has no elevators
partitions and heating equipment MI
Wendell believed that such improve
ments should be installed by the lessor.
II was figured by some well known men
in real estate circles last night that IN
rental. taxes and interest on the invest
ment Mr.. Wendell lost about S1OO,OOO
by keeping the building vacant.
Ex-Police Captain Churchill once
tried TO get the building for res
taurant. II is said that he offered to
nav the rental of $4,000 year.
Regularly on st. Patrick's Day Mr.
Wendell visited the chief deputy in the
Department of Taxes and Assessment
After giving the deputy a bunch of
Shamrocks fresh from Ireland he
would 90 over his assessments. Some
he believed TO be above the value OF
the parcels and others he thought un-
der.
"Why don't you file an application
for reduction ?" the deputy would ask
"Oh. l would never do anything like
that am just telling you," he would
reply.
Only once had he been known 10 vio-
late this rule. This was shortly before
his death. when he asked for a reduc-
ton of his assessment on the vacant
lot adjoining his home, assessed at
$4,000, used as q playground for his
sisters little dog.
There are many stories which illus
trate his attitude toward life and the
management of his estate. A young
man wanted to rent store on which
| the lease was about TO expire. He
offered twice the rent given by the
| present lessee.
81 have a tenant. You can't have The
store" said Mr.. Wendell.
"But"-said the young man.

Wendell. interrupting. What do care
for a few more dollars? My tenants

MRS. HAEFFNER SCREAMS
AT SENTENCE TO PRISON
Pair Who Deserted Children Denounced by Court, Face
Two ii Five Years in Cells-Wife Begs Mercy
as She Is Carried Away

/ A hard blow was struck yesterday by
Judge Rosalsky against childdeserting
parents. Frederick HaefYner and his
wife. jeanette. were sentenced TO pris-
on for terms Of from two years and six
months 10 five years and six months
/ for abandoning their two children,
I Richard and James.
Following the sentence, which Judge
[ Rosalsky preceded with a denuncistion
Of the crime, Mrs. Haeffner collapsed
in her chair; she was taken out by
three attendants, screaming and kick
ing and imploring mercy. She will go
TO Auburn, her husband TO Sing Sing.
Ernest X. Coulter, superintendent OF
the Society for the Prevention Of
Cruelty 10 Children, testified that he
society's investigation had revealed eN-
traordinary callousness and brutality
on the part of the Haeft1ers. He IT.
timated that they had once tried TO
make way with their children by gas
and that Haefner had also advised his
wife 10 drop one Of them out OF the
car window on the way to New York.
"They came 10 New York from At.
lantic CITY in September, 1913" said
Mr. Coulter. leaving Earle, their baby,
20 board with q Mrs. Ryan at Atlantic
CITY. Our inquiry showed that she re.
ceived no board money from them, and
that they returned 10 Atlantic City IN
the spring Or 1914 and lived in an old
boathouse.
ale was, the record shows, painter
by trade, and had the reputation OF be-
ing shiftless; his wife had acquired
bad name through the neglect OF her
children, which they were suspected OF
having tried 10 kill by gas. About
August, 1914, they went again to New
York. taking the children.
Mrs. Haeffner tried I rid herself OF
Earle. but could find no way - do It,
though her husband had remarked that
che could drop him from the car win

home"
Mr.. Coulter riddled EAefner's plea
Of destitution, showing that from
August 26, 1914, TO October IL he had
received So 30 day, and that he was
pretty regularly employed TO the mid
die of November
ION November 3D. pursued Mr..
Coulter, they abandoned the two in
fants, one in the hallway of 422 West
SD St, the other in that Of 20S East
18TH ST, Earle, who was left in the
latter place, was deserted with great
elaboration under conditions which re-
suited in his illness and death.
"On January 10 they abandoned
Richard and James. the two older chill
dren, near GimbePs. They identified
them later at the Society for the Pre-
vention of Cruelty 10 Children rooms,
pleading restitution as cause for their
desertion."
Judge Rosalsky, who for half an
hour tried to draw from Haetfner the
real cause of the crime but only ellie
tied that II was due 20 the nervous
ness" of Mrs. Haeffner, declared that
poverty was not responsible.
II don't think poverty the cause he
said. Freedom was the motive. The
parents showed no sympathy whstever,
and ] am told by Mr. Bower, superin-
tendent OF the Department of Depend
ent Children, that he has never known
q single case wherein children were
abandoned with absolutely no provision
made for them"
lie added that parents who deserted
their children were responsible for
their becoming paupers or criminals,
and that under the circumstances the
defendants plea OF guilty was .heir
sole title TO mercy. Haefner's head
sank lower and lower as the judge
spoke, and Mrs. Hsefper SMILED su-
dibly, breaking out ifSo a loud moan
whom he imposed sept,qce.
