EXTRA 10 YEARS
COST HIM WIFE
Contractor Sued Because
He Misrepresented Age,
She Says.

John Laufer, real estate man and
contractor, inserted an advertisement
in a newspaper for an Office assistant.
Miss Ida Stein answered it, but instead
of becoming Laufer's office assistant
she was engaged as the rich mans life
partner. They were married June p
last.
There is a great disparity in the ages
of the couple and Mrs. Laufer, now
suing for a separation, intimates that
while she was not averse TO a mar
riage between spring and fall, union
between spring and winter, such as
she says her marriage proved, is dis
tasteful to hel
"He was considerably older than he
stated" says Mrs. Laufer. She says
that her husband gave his age as forty
three and she insists that he is fifty
three.
Mr.. Laufer retorts:
IL told her / was about fifty. She
planned this very action before she
married me, and her intentions all
along have been those OF an adven-
turess and ms those of wife. The
more | have thought over the matter
the more | am convinced that have
permitted myself to be blindly led into
THIS marriage.
Laufer based his conclusions as to the
plans of his wife partly on letter she
wrote to Mrs. Louie A. Parker, of Lon
don. Mrs. Laufer wrote:
81 had two chances to get married
here, but the boys are not my style, so
| am single. The other fellow, to whom
| send postals. writes me letters like to
girl of sixteen. | am sorry this boy
is NOT tralya ware o1dar "
Before he looked about him, Laufer
says, he was greatly in love with his
young wife. He denied her nothing.
But when she suggested that he place
his bank account in their joint names
he became somewhat suspicious. How
ever he consented to partly comply
with her request. He drew $500 out
of the bank, intending to redeposit it
in their joint names. When he awoke
next morning, said Laufer, he found
his roll of banknotes had shrunk to
S425. There were also several pieces of
jewelry missing. His wife told him,
according TO the husband, that she had
packed her trunk and intended to go
abroad, where she intended to pose as
a single woman and, if possible, marry
again. Then, IN company with one of
her relatives, she left the house and
never returned.
Laufer never found the S275 ne
missed from his roll nor his jewelry.

BOWLING BEATEN
In SWIM BY TIDE
Quits Reluctantly After
More than Eight Hours
i'm Water.

Robert W. Bowling, aged eighteen, set
out from the Battery yesterday morn
ing TO swim around Manhattan. Baf-
fed by the tide in the Harlem Ship
Canal, he had to give up his project
after spending more than eight hours
in the water and swimming twenty-five
miles. His father, Robert (. Bowling,
president of the City Investing Com
pany, was in the launch which fol-
lowed the swimmer.
For four months the young man had
trained for the undertaking, and it was
not until the approach of dusk rem
dered its accomplishment manifestly
impossible that he abandoned it.
Through the wash of numerous ex-
cursion boats and countless launches
he battled his way up the Hudson to

on account of the fierce tide. Never
theless the swimmer kept doggedly on.
The water boiled and swirled about
the bluff bows of the coal barges
moored in the canal. and its waters,
ordinarily teeming with youthful bath
ers, were deserted.
The youths father. with whom were
Mr.. Rowland. instructor of the Spring
Lake Swimming Club. and Mr.. Walsa,
of the A. A. T., advised him to give
up. Young Bowling only shook his
head in response and bored into the
stream.
After a lengthy and arduous strug-
gle had advanced him a bare quarter
Of a mile into the waterway and it
became evident that the current was
increasing rather than diminishing its
strength, Bowling turned on his back
and drifted out into the Hudson again.
He was still unwilling to leave the
water, and seemed to cherish some
hope that a later attempt might prove
successful. With the launch creeping
along in his wake, he crossed and re-
crossed the river several times. Az

Battery, Bowling was hauled aboard

was far from exhausted. The course
he attempted is thirty-eight miles.

FOR MORE SCHOOL POLLS

The Honest Ballot Association has

protesting against the boards decision
10 use only ten school houses (; polling
places at the fall .lections.
The honest Ballot Association con-
tends that one half of the 1000 polling

A VOICE FROM ALABsAEa

Dear Sir: | received my JEFF yes
tefda5 and certainly did enjoy read
ing your editorial on the famous
frank case. Today more than a
dozen men have been to my office.
asking ii | had finished reading the
paper, as they wanted to see what
Tom Watson had TO say on the
Frank case and Slaton's commuta-
ton OF the death sentence" [ have
promised to pass it around with the
recommendation that they all sub
scr1ge for the JEFF and Magazine and
keep up with you not only on this
noted case but on all the burning
issues of the hour, including Roman
ism.
Mr.. Watson, I want to commend
yo1 for the brave stand you have
taken in defending your native State,
her courts, her honor, her fair name
in the campaign Of SANDER and mis-
representation, carried on mostly by
outsiders in their efforts to save the
guilty Leo Frank from the gallows.
Your exposure of the prostitute press,
the dirty work done by the Haas FL
nance Committee, the brilliant and
heroic fight which you have led to
nave IuG ldWS Oh Georgia enforced
and little Mary Phagan's murder
avenged, has made you hero even
in the eyes of many who have hith-
erto refused to read anything you
had to say.
| desire to say that nine out of
every ten A.1bamians feel that the
action of Governor Slaton in com
muting Frank will breed mischief
throughout the country. 1t is a
practical demonstration Of what SO
many have believed for a long time,
namely: that we have one law for
the poor and another for the rich.
I wish to say further that many of
us bow our heads in shame to know
that the Chief Justice of our Supreme
Court allowed the rich Jews of Mo-
bile and Montgomery to persuade
him to write Governor Slaton, asking
for Franks Communication. I want to
tell you now that we are going to
remember Judge Anderson for the
part he took in the Frank case. I
repeat it, we are going to defeat him
on account Of the part he took in
favor of the rich criminal who out
ragged and murdered little Mary
Phagan.. Sincerely yours,
Ala. E. c. GLOVER.

A WoMAN's INDIGNATION.

Dear Sir: / am so indignant at
Slaton for turning Frank loose
(Which is the same) and the way the
Atlanta papers are doing, that if l do
not give vent to my feelings l be-
lieve will burst
For Frank to have been carried
out Of Atlanta Saturday as a sick
man, and Mondays paper saying that
the decision will not be handed out
until Tuesday (always putting it fur
Their Off is an outrage.
If Big Money and the Devil had
not been at work in this case, Sun
days papers would have flashed the
news all over the world by now
| hope that Frank will be lynched
yet, and Slaton with him.
l felt like the devil was at work
when the papers announced that Sla-
ton would pass on the case. His
love Of money, and his colleagues,
is such that they did not want to
pass this over to Governor-elect Har-.
ris, for fear they would not get their
share.
When the wicked reigns, the Ma
tion mourns
Why are the Jews any better to
escape punishment than anybody
else? We will see if the same crowd
that worked to save Frank, will do
the same by future criminals.
AS for the Atlanta papers, we have
dropped them from our list. If they
suppress news, and refuse to give
space to our utterances, what do we
want with them?
Another thing, the Gentiles ought
not give NJ. Rich their trade, after
discharging a Gentle clerk because
he would not sign for Franks free
dom.

reward but to make such a differ

A VOICE FROM SAVANNAH.

Dear Sir: I have just finished
reading j. M. Slaon statement, or
his attempted statement, and it re-
MINDS me OF statement made by
ten-year-old school-boy. I say shame
on Slaton. He is a traitor and a
disgrace to the State of Georgia.
Also, one little item I noted in his
renowned statement is this: that
Judge Roan's voice had been CRYING
to him from another world to please
pardon Frank. | would like to ask
Slaton question which is quite sin
gular to me and all of the people of
Georgia: if he, Slaton, could hear
Judge Roan's voice crying to him
from another, world to please pardon
Frank, [ would like to ask Slaton if
he could hear Judge Roan's voice so
plainly. 1t is quite singular he did
not hear Mary Phagan's voice crying
to him, also, from another world.
But [ expect that the jingle Of gold
which this Jew finance committee
was so loud around the Governors
ears and eyes that it drowned poor
little Mary's voice, or possibly this
pervert, bloodK-handed murderer,
Frank, had tied the cord so tightly
around her neck while in life she had
never gained breath enough to make
the Governor hear her.
AS for me, Mr.. Watson, I think
J. M. Slaton is a disgrace to the State
of Georgia, and to all the people of
Georgia. Respectfully,
j. M. GARDNER.

DID THE ATLANTA PAPERS TELL
THIS?

Dear Sir: Sitting in the gallery Of
the House this morning at 1920,
where I had gone to be present at
the opening of that body, I witnessed
singing rebuke to our near Gov
ernor. The Speaker called for the
reading of the Comptroller-Gen-
erals and the Governors message.
The Clerk read the first mentioned,
and then took up the Governors
message. He had reed only line
or2two, when a member CT the House
arose and said
.'Mr. Speaker. I held in my hand
q, copy of Tom Watson's Jefferson ian.
I submit that we should have it read
instead of the Govern or's message
It took but a moment for the
House to recover from the shock,
der" The Speaker ruled "Out Of
order" sounded his gavel, and the
clerk began to read. He read pcs
sibly page. The members turned
to each other and began q regular
hubbub of conversation; the Speak
er shook hands and chatted with
several members who walked to his
stand; the people in the gallery
whispered and talked; the Clerk
seemed to take in the situation, and
hurriedly turned page after page Of
the message, mumbling something
that no one seemed to hear, and
tossed the paper aside.
The Speaker, noticing the silence.
of the Clerk, turned, sounded his
gavel and called for the next order

minutes another severe rebuke had
passed into history.
