WAITED 5 YEARS TO WED,
SHE SUES FOR $1,OOO,OOO
Largest Sum Ever Asked in
Breach of Promise Case
Sought in New York

NEW YORK. June "A suit for 81,
100000 damages for alleged breach or prom
lse to marry-the largest award a New
York court has ever been asked to grant
in such case-was filed yesterday in the
Supreme Court her against William Edgar
Smith, resident of the Waldorf Astoria
Hotel. His father, william Van Rensselaer,
Smith was one of those "inconspicuous
millionares that New York SO frequently
produces. The extent of his fortune, s5,-
100000, amazed the town when his will
was made public.
The complainant against Mr.. Smith is
Miss Cassie Mansfield Doty, a kinswoman
of his who lives at the Hotel Touraine.
Her mother and Mr.. Smiths father, she
said last night, were first cousins She ia
a grandniece OF General Joseph Mansfield,
a Union commander, who was killed at the
Battle of Antietam. Another granduncle
was Governor Buckingham, of Massachu-
setts, known as the Fighting Executive"
of that State. She is a woman of com
Portable means who has spent most of her
life in this city and New Haven, Conn.
Miss Doty charges in her complaint that
her cousin, Mr.. Smith, asked for her hand
in July, 1911. and that she accepted him,
the two agreeing that the marriage should
be performed on February 6, 1912.
II have allowed more than four wars
to pass in the belief that Mr.. Smith might
fulfil his promise" she said last night, "but
recently have came to the belief that he
did not Intend to do SO. and consequently
felt that I should have recourse to the
law. Yes. intend TO go through with the
suit and shall not hesitate to take my place
upon the witness stand and tell about my
friendship with and betrothal to Mr..
Smith,"

NEW YORK, June 3.-F. w Poynor
chief Of the engineering branch of r. Mar
tens Company, Inc. together with corps
of engineering specialists, sailed today on
the steamship Kristianlafjord for Petro.
grad to launch Americas campaign for the
capture Of its share In the Russian market
Since last October Mr.. Poynor and his as
sociate engineers have made extended trips

the object of comforting with manufacturers
and inspecting the product of their factories
The direct result of this has been the con-
Guiding of important working arrangements
with many of the leading manufacturers
'In this work we have met with CO.
operation everywhere" said Mr. Poynor
THE American manufacturer is we'll alive
to the tremendous possibilities for trade
that the Russian market will offer after
the war and he is already making elabo-
rate plans TO get his share"
Richard Martens, vice president of the
company is already in Petrograd. AS soon
as Mr.. Poynor arrives a general conference

ATLANTIC CITY DETECTIVE
TO BE FIRED FROM FORCE
Found Guilty of Misconduct and Trial
Result of Political Fight

ATLANTIC CITY, June 3.-The City
Commissioners, at special meeting held
yesterday afternoon, found Charles Apple
city detective, guilty of conduct unbe.
coming an officer and ordered the Director
of Public Safety to discharge him from the
force. William Aiken, a city fireman, who
was TO have been tried on another charge,
blocked proceedings by resigning few
minutes before his trial was to have taken
place. The public hearing before the Com.
missioners drew a motley crowd of resi-
dents, visitors and politicians, who were
there through simple curiosity.
The proceedings were the result of the
recent bitter political war Apple was
accused of threatening to have the
liquor license OF a hotel revoked IL the
managers of the hotel did not vote right.
Ex-Judge Cole appeared for the man on
trial and blocked the "steam.roller" meth.
DDS OF the politicians just little when he
showed that the resolutions adjudging Ap.
pie guilty had been drawn up by the AS.
sistant City Solicitor before the trial
started. A hurried adjournment for the
preparation of new resolutions side.tracked
this interruption.

all on the question of preparedness" said
one of his closest associates Significantly
they have changed with the times. 1t is
certain he Is not a peace-at-any-price man"
FAVORS PREPAREDNESS.
In 1908, Justice Hughes made a speech
before the Republican Club, In New York.
in which he said
We are devoted to the interests OF
peace and we cherish no policy OF ag-
gression. The maintenance of our
Ideals Is our surest protection II is
our constant aim to live in friendship
with all nations and to realize the
aims or free Government, secure
from the Interruptions of strife and the
wastes OF war. 1t is entirely consistent
with these aims and It is our duty to
make adequate provision for our de-
Tense and to maintain the efficiency OF
our army and navy. And this favor.
Those who have read the remarks of
Justice Hughes at that time give him
credit for great foresight. because AT the
time preparedness was not a vital issue,
That Justice Hughes will work for re-
demption Of progressive platform IL he
should be nominated and elected is CEN
sldered certain. because of the character
OF opposition directed against him.
PROBABLY WOULD ACCEPT.
The issuance OF statements by Justlce
Hughes secretary, the last one YESTERDAY.
has not changed in any particular the
general impression In Washington that the
Justice gladly will give up his Supreme
Court robes'if he Is nominated in Chicago.
Attention repeatedly is called to the fact
that Justice Hughes has never said that
he would not accept the nomination. In
his letters and kilograms. bearing on the
use of his name as a presidential possibility.
he has insisted that he was mot a candi-
date"
AS a matter of fact the issuance OF de-
nlals from Justice Hughes home had
the eflect of convincing many that h. ts
not only willing, but anxious to land the
nomination If he were not a Candidate
political leaders argue, he would LET tha
rumors pass unnotleed. It is not customary
for a supreme Court Justice to dignity
rumors and newspaper stories with formsl
statements issued through his secretary.

In letter sent out by David Barry
the following statement Is made about
the striks situation:
New York continues to be confident
that the threatened railway strike
VIII be averted, although Washington
reports a deadlock between employ
ers and employees. President Wilson
has demanded that the railroads adopt
the eight-hour day In principle and
leave the question OF any Increase OF

1T Is evident that President Wilson,

viotion OF both sides that he is trying
