HARMLESS SPOUSE
 PULLED HIS HAIR
And Worse, She Hit Him With
 Bust Of Beethoven

New York, Aug. 11.-Life has not senbroek, who hopes some day to be one of Americas great musical geni- uses. Just now he sings in a large Broadway restaurant.
 TEssenOrOek fears, however, that his domestic environment as the husband of Mrs. Zira Lesche Tussenbroek is going to interfere materially with his musical advancement. Unmindful of the relationship which, st least in pop ular belief, a great pianist's hair bears 10 his success, she has on several Occa- sion, he says, pulled him about their house by it.
 Further lack of sympathy with his ideals is indicated in his complaint for separation, which was filed ycster- day in the supreme court. She liter ally shattered one if his ideals on April IS last the husband asserts, by striking him on the knee with a mar ble bust of Beethoven.
 Her cruel treatment of him. he says, was anything but conducive to the p6dCS OI ullDu He Il1lQS necessary III the pursuance of the hoped for fame.
 The Massachusetts have been married not quite two years. The plaintiff is a native of Holland. Mrs. Tussen- brock was served with the papers in the action at 64 West 107th street.
 Some of the things her husband said in these were: She has on numerous occasions seized him by the hair and violently pulled him around by it. She has repeatedly, during the night, struck, kicked and kept him from sleeping until 5 or o'clock in the morning. She has repeatedly declared that a husband is good for nothing but to get money for his wife, and also that she would keep him in misery until he died" Tussenbroek says his wife did not cOnfine her hairpulling to the privacy of their home, but did it even in his place of employment. "The next time I come I'll horse ! whip you," he alleges his wife threat l ened.

JUMPS FROM GAR,
 WOMAN MAY LIVE
Deliberately Leaps from Fast MoV-
 ing Trolley Near Milldale

Meriden, Aug. 11.-Unable to tell her name or where she came from and still apparently not in a serious condition, is the peculiar case Of woman about 45 years of age who was admitted to the Meriden hos pital early this morning after having jumped from a trolley car near Mill dale just before midnight. The car from which she jumped was coming to Milldale from Cheshire. The woman was transferred from that car to the car running from Milldale to Meriden and from that car taken to the hospital in the ambulance.
 No one who had occasion to see
 the woman recognized her and ln
 spite of the fact that she was able to stand when the trolley arrived in this city shortly after midnight, she was unable to tell her name. At the hospital she was still in a semf-con- scious condition at a later hour and
 no information about her had been gained All the marks of injury which she bore were an abrasion on
 the back of the head and severe
 bruises on the left hip and elbow,
 which were black and blue.
 From information gleaned from the passengers and trolleymen on the
 car which bore her to this city, she
 became frightened when fuse blew out and jumped from the rapidly moving car. The incident occurred between Cheshire and Milldale and no one coming with her to Meriden had been on the same car as she, the
 other passengers having come to 1 Milldale by way of the Green line. l The trolleymen on the Cheshire cal 1 brought her into Milldale and while l there she was treated by Dr. Charles l Kelley, of Plantsville. The news ot i the happening was then telephOned 1 from Milldale to Meriden and the 1 ambulance was ordered to meet th< l car.
 1 The woman was placed on tn 1 front of the car and brought to Merl ] den. The wound in the back of he1 1 head caused her back to be covered 1 with blood and her hands were GU 1 Her clothes were torn and covered
 with dirt and her general appear l ance gave indication that she wa l more seriously injured than may 1 really have been the case.
 1 Officer Frank Pickhardt met the l trolley and when he attempted t( l lift the woman into the ambulance 1 she mumbled and groaned and at l tempted to offer resistance. He sue ceeded in getting her in W;tho' further injury however, ond she i was taken to the hospital

HEDGES MAY RUN
Veteran Canpaigner Being Urged to Jump Into Race for Senatorship in New York State.

New York, Aug. 11-Job E. Hedges veteran republican campaigner, whose oratory has resounded from Niagara to Montauk, is being urged to try for the United States senatorship. One of the many party groups that have gotten out of hand with the relaxing Of tho Old Guard control of the re- publican state organization wants to put Hedges in the September pri1n- aries for the nomination for the sen- ate. William M. Calder of Brooklyn is the only avowed republican candi- date for nomination.
 The Hedges supporters are planning a rattling statewide speechmaking campaign in which Hedges is to chal- lenge Calder to debate from the same platforms, party issues, and even such personal qualifications for the great office of United States senator. Calder has frankly "gone after' the nomina- ton, while Hedges has waited around for the nomination to seek the man. The Hedges boomers are said to be about ready to openly call upon him to announce his candidacy in the primaries. They regard the challenge of Calder to stump the state in joint debate as a masterstroke. They be- lieve their candidate is a much better speaker and while both are men of great popularity upstate Hedges grasp of public affairs and his ready ability as a debater should count strongly in his favor.
