 FOR NEW HOTELS
Great Rivalry Being Shown by
 New York Promoters

New York, Aug. 9.-New York is fairly growing out of it's clothes" Every four years it adds to it's popu- lation approximately 8OO,OOO people, enough to make a city the size of St. Louis or Boston. This does not which New York gives back each year by the tens of thousands to scores of suburbs in three states
 Last year the American metropolis outstripped London and became the largest city on the globe. Its achieve- ment of adding 100000 a year to it's population had already made it the most rapidly growing city in the world, All of which has made it practically impossible for New York to keep up with itself in two re- spects-transporta and hotel fa- cilities.
 New York's transportation facilities are the most widely various and com- prehensive ever created. Steam and electric railways, surface and elevated lines, tubes and suhvays. busses and boats are all employed to carry it's millions. But though each of thc city's transportation facilities is m a constant state of expansion the nopu- lation more than keeps pace
 A similar situation prevails as to hotels. Manhattan has now seventy five hotels with 200 rooms or more about half of them having more than 400.
 Still there Is an increasing cry for more hotel accommod odations and the largest and newest hotels are all paying surprising dividends.
 Because of the demand for new ho- tels unique contest has arisen in Manhattan. Two railway systems and a big cooperative association are competing with one another to see who shall first erect "the largest hotel in the world"
 The Pennsylvania railway company is to build opposite it's immense sta ton the Hotel sylvania, with 2,2OO rooms. This hotel will cost at least s10,OOO, ,O0O. Franklin T. Machette, of Milwaukee, will operate it
 The Hotel Commodore is the New York CentraIs candidate for the honor of being the largest hotel in the world. It is to cost s1O,5OO. 900 and is to be about the size of the Penn sylvania. J, McE. Bowman, whose rapid rise in the hotel business has been one of New, Yorks commercial romances, is to operate this hotel as the third in string including the Blltm ore and the Manhattan. The Comm onwealth Hotel Con- 1 structlon Corporation, a huge cooper 1 atlve concern headed by c. H. Tnger- l soil the watch manufacturer, is to erect in Times Square, near the convergence
 of the two subways, the Hotel Com | monWealth. With it's site and equip ment, this hotel is to cost S15, 100000. 1 The Commonwealth is to have many | unique features. It's ownership Is to
 be vested in about 15O 1000 shareho1d | CTS and Henry l..

BR|CKLEY ADMITS
 ENGAGEMENT OFF
Football Hero Not to Marry Lynn
 Society Belle

New Haven, Aug. 9.-Miss Agnes Coakley, of Lynn, Mass, is not going to marry Charles E. Brickley, the famous Harvard football hero, after all.
 The enga cement, which was an- nounced two months ago, is broken
 Why, or exactly when, is not known but the news of the broken engage ment is confirmed by Brickley who is at present summering at Momau- guin.
 The breaking of the engagement brings to an end what Boston thought was most romantic love-match and one in which Boston and Cambridge society was greatly interested.
 Miss Coakley is 19 years old and is the second daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Daniel H. Coakley- Her sisters are Mrs. James E. Maloney and Miss Jessie Coakley. She has been a fav- orite in the younger society set since her schooldays and the announcement of her engagement to the gridiron hero was received with unusual in terest.
 Rumors of a disag greement have been whispered for several days The cause for the rupture appears to be secret, although friends of the couple hint that it is merely a "lov- CTS quarrel
 Miss Coakley is summering at Buz- cards Bay.
 Charley Brickley, when asked about the report of the broken engagement, said:
 Yes. it is true that my engage ment to Miss Coakley is broken. It was broken some weeks ago.
 He was asked if he would say why and he replied:
 of publicity about that? It's broken, and that's all there is to It.
 Asked if he and Miss Coakley were still friends. he said:
 "I don't think that matters, does it? The engagement is broken that's all."

ACCIDENT
 R|NG' IS EXPOSED
Principals Confess Parts and Law
 yer Falls Into Tolls

New York, Aug. 9.-In the indict- ment and arrest yesterday of Ben jamin Gunner, lawyer, of 261 Broadway, charged with attempted grand larceny, District Attorney SWann believes he has uncovered a ring that has been swindling hun dreds of persons and corporations out of many thousand dollars every year by means of fake accident damage suits. The prosecutor expects to get indictments against at least six other lawyers and probably eight physicians who worked in concert with them by signing accident certificates.
 A young married woman named Anna Dubois, who was a motion pie ture actress before she discovered that she could easily earn money by falling off streetcars or tripping on tenement house stairs. was the means of the exposure of the swindle. She worked in concert with Michael Ryan, of 516 West Sixtieth street, and John T. Mcdonald, of 71 West One Hun dredth street, both of whom are now in the Tombs, having confessed their guilt to Assistant District Attorney Moses R. RYttenberg.
 Mrs. Dubois made a hlunder in
 
 on a stairway in a tenement house a 434 West FOrty-secOnd street and confessed that it was a fake fall and claim.
 Ryan and Mcdonald told MT. Ryt- tenberg that they had an honest claim for personal injury about two years ago and took it to one of the law yers whom they have named as the leader of the conspiracy. He won the case, and when they expressed their qualification the lawyer offered to give them employment in bringing such cases for trial He offered them S5 for every case. They said they soon found that the lawyer wanted cases, whether they were gen. uine or not. They found that the best claims could be obtained from wom en. Mrs Dubois was brought into the scheme for that reason. She lived at 552 West FOrty-fifth street and, according to Mcdonald, was the best "Operator' that ever worked for him, because she could "enact as many as six falls in a single day.
 Open coal holes, sidewalk obstruc- lions. streetcars and automobile were seized upon as the best grounds for suits. Claims were usually made
 
 ont of court was safest; but McDon- ald says he has three suits pending in the municipal courts, one under his own name and two others under aliases.
 Efforts to uncover the operations were first made by the Alliance Against Accident Fraud and the Eur ich Insurance company. Mrs. Dubois confession was made on June 2S. Those of Ryan and Mcdonald fol- lowed month later. Gunner may be indicted on charges of champetry, which makes it a misdemeanor for a lawyer to split fees with a client.
 According to MT. Rvttenberg, Gun ner employed a reputable Brooklyn photogra pher to take pictures of the places where his clients said they had been injured. After a time the pho tographer informed Gunner that he believed many of the injury stories were false to which Gunner is said to have replied, "I should worry.' Gunner was represented by Flu gene l.. ParOdi and was held in ST. 500 bail by Judge ROsalsky Bond was furnished by a surety company.

QUIT Ne. NEAT 4! IF YOUR
KIDNEYS ACT BADLY.
Take Tablespoonful Of Salts If Back
Hurts or Bladder Bothers-
Drink Lots Of Water.

We are a nation of meat eaters and
our blood IS filled with uric acid, says
a we'll known authority, who warns
us to be constantly on guard against
kidney trouble.
The kidneys do their utmost to free
the blood of this irritating acid, but
become weak from the overwork;
they get sluggish: the eliminative tbs.
sues clog and thus the waste is re-
tanned in the blood to poison the en-.
tire system.
When your kidneys ache and feel
like Jumps of lead. and you have
singing pains in the back or the
urine is cloudy, full OF sediment, or
the bladder is irritable, obliging you
to seek relief during the night; when
you have severe headaches, nervous
and dizzy spells, sleeplessness, acid
stomach or rheumatism in bad wealth.
er, get from your pharmacist about
four ounces of Jad Salts; take ta-
blespoonful in glass Of water before
breakfast each morning and in few
days your kidneys will act fine. This
famous salts is made from the acid of
grapes and lemon juice, combined
with lithia, and has been used for gen.
erations to flush and stimulate clog
ged kidneys, to neutralize the acids
in urine so it is no longer source
of irritation, thus ending urinary and
bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
injure; makes delightful efferves-
cent lithia water drink, and nobody
can make a mistake by taking a lit.
tie occasionally to keep the kidneys
clean and active.

INTERESTING CASE
TO SUPREME p COURT
Question of Right Of Candidate
to Accept Nomination In
volved in Matter

An interesting case involving the
right of candidate for one Office to
accept nomination on the same bal
lot for another is headed for the SUI
preme court from Grand Forks coun-
ty, said a rumOr current at the capitol
yesterday.
H. A. Bronson of Grand Forks was
a Republican candidate at the pri-
mares in June for senator from the
Seventh district. He was defeated
by Albert Stenno, by a vote Of 387 to
376. In the same primaries, Bronson
received two Democratic votes for
senator and four votes for district
Judge. Charles NJ. Cooley was unop-
posed on the Non-Partisan judicial
ballot for the nomination for district
Judge, and when the returns were GER
titled, his was the only nomination
noted, since Bronson had not been a
candidate for the judgeship.
Bronson Decides to Run.
Later Bronson decided to make the
race for district judge against Cooley,
and he filed his certificate of nominal
ton with the secretary of state, certi-
flying that he was one of the two can
didates receiving the highest vote for
this Office at the primarits, which is
undisputed. Cooley received 1882
votes, and Bronson about four, but Mr..
Bronson ran second, and the law pro-
vides that the two candidates receiv-
ing the highest vote shall be declared
the nominees.
Question Of a Percentage.
An old North Dakota primary law
required that candidate must receive
thirty per cent of the vote cast by his
party or for certain Office to become
a nominee for such office. The SUI
preme court declared this law uncon-
stitutional, in that it restrained the
personal choice and the freedom of
thought of the individual voter In
1913 the legislative assembly adopt
ed another statute, fixing the percent
age at 25 The report at the capitol
now is that those who oppose the can
didacy of Bronson intend to contest
his nomination on the strength of this
% percent clause.
Bronson Suffrage Supporter.
Bronson will be remembered as a
member of the upper house who led
the fight for woman suffrage in 1918.
He is said to have a strong non-parti-
san backing in Grand Forks, and there
is much interest in the outcome OF
the case.
