He Was Reliable, but
Where Is Her $1,000?
Mrs Hahn Thought Highly of Her Late Husband Friend
Until Bank Account Showed Only 50 Balance
Wants Special Partnership Dissolved

30 As it was the vacation season, she
did not become alarmed at once.
Later, though, she heard that Mr.
Cook had left his home in Tsrrytown
on July II as suddenly as he had the
Wall Street Office, taking only suit
case and telling his wife she need not
expect to see him again. IL was only
gossip, Mrs. Hahn was sure; reliable,
unassuming men such as Mr.. Cook
don't do such things. But just as a
business precaution she decided TO take
a peek at the bank balance Of the firm.
She vas able to find just 80.
Mrs. Hahn consulted lawyer. The
safe and safe deposit boxes were ex-
amined, but no trace was found OF
any securities or other valuables be-
longing to the firm. Further inquiry
showed that the current books and
records were also missing. Inquirers
at the Office yesterday were told that
Mr.. Cook had run away
AS special partner, Mrs. Hahn had
invested $1,000 She declares that she
has no idea what state the business
is in. The partnership was formed
September 2, 1913. The firm was to
act as broker for the sale of municipal
bonds and other securities.

Along our whole line the Germans will

Big Fight to Come.
II is going 70 be on all fronts yet a
big fight and long fight. But, again,
there has now been time enough for

Conference to have their full effect.

Three years ago, when George NJ.
Hahn, an investment broker, died, his
widow turned, naturally, TO Walter H..
Cook, who had been in her husbands
employ for twenty-five years, for ad-
vice. Mr.. Cook was one of those reli-
able, unassuming men whose Judg'
ment could be relied upon, she thought
She was sure Of it when he suggested
continuing the business at Wall
Street, with himself as active head and
Mrs. Hahn as special partner.
Yesterday, Mrs. Hahn. whose home
is in Ramsey, n. j., brought suit in
the Supreme Court against Cook to
dissolve the partnership and obtain
an accounting. Justice Guy appointed
John A. Hardy temporary receiver,
pending the trial of the suit.
1t was two weeks ago that Mrs.
Hahn began to wonder why she had
heard nothing from her partner In
quiry at his Office revealed the fact
that he had not been there since June

BIRD WIGWAGS LOVE SIGNALS
Racket-Tailed Hammer Also May Be
Said to Use Flags to Challenge
Its Foes.

Signal officer of the birds army
corps is the racket-tailed humming
bird. For his duties nature has
equipped him with pair Of purple
flags fashioned out of two long and
peculiar tail feathers. He wigwags his
signals from one tree to another, is
sues his challenges to battle and courts
his mate. When he's not signaling he's
slipping honey from the flowers and
trying to keep his tail from entangling
itself in the briers.
He's a midget Of the South American
mountains. He has short wings, which
he operates at lightning speed, hum
ming song with them as he dives into
flower and comes out again with
billful of honey.
His tail is a combination Of two wire
like handles, with purple tuft Of
feathers at the end Of each. He crosses
them near the middle and sometimes
he brings the pair of "rackets" at the
ends to his head, as though trying to
fan himself
The male birds have a sort Of love
dance which they engage in during the
mating season. Then they play all
sorts of tricks with the rackets.

Odd Watch CRYSTALS.

A celluloid watch crystal which will
be as good as glass one, and far
more durable, will fill long-felt want.
Anyone wearing a watch is liable to
break the glass crystal in an accident
at any time. One reason for the popu-
larity of open-face watches is that they
are provided with heavier crystals
than the timepieces with hunting
cases, and, unless the cases are extra
stiff, they will give sufficient under
moderate pressure to cause the glass
beneath to break. The celluloid crys-
tai is said to have been successfully
made and used.
