JUDGE FINDS
Louis H. Ream Is Still Married
Supreme Court Vacaies Lower Courts
 Judgment AnnuIing Marriage

Louis Fl. Ream, son of the late Nor man B. Ream, of New York and Thompson, must recognize again Eleanor H. Davidson as his wife, as a result of a decision handed d~wn by Supreme Court Justice Henry Y. BeFst of Amsterdam, in which he va cates the judgment annulling the mar riage which was secured in 1914.
 In deciding the case in favor of Mrs. Ream, an actress, who is at present playing with Frances starr in serhe Little Lady in BIue,n in Cleveland, Judge Berst holds that she was in- duced by fradulent misrepresentation to bring the action which resulted in the marriage being declared void.
 The evidence taken in the case shows that the couple became acquainted while Miss Davidson was playing in a Broadway show and drawing weekly salary of Slo0, ,while Ream was em- ployed by d New York Trust company at S1a5 month. They were married on September 1, 1911, in lNew Jersey, but after living together few days thes eshusband departed, after bidding his wife an affectionate farewell and promising tc return soon.
 Instead of coming back to her, how ever, he sent his attorneys with an offer of S50, 900 to start an action ag- at rf tx> hn resenting 10 her that the ceremony was not legal. After the marriage had been annulled Mrs. Resm claims to have come to a realization of the fact that she, had been duped and through her attorney, Edgar T. Bracket, started proceedings.to reestablish her status as the wife of Ream.
 MT. Ream, who is 29 years of age, the same as his wife, has a one-sixth interest in the estate of his father, which has been variousIy estimated up to 50,000, ,000. Concluding his de- cision, Judge Borst said
 "He didinot intend to marry her, then he is guilty of an imposition of the meanest character upon his friends, to whose home he took the plaintiff and at their table introduced her as as his wife, when in secret he' believed he was using her for another purpose.
 "The judgment should therefore be vacated. A draft, order may be sub mitted accordingly with one allowing substitution of attorneys, which plaintiff also asks for on this motion.'
 Mrs. Ream:says she does not know what her future plans will be nowlthat the New York Supreme Court has set aside the annulment of her marriage to an heir of the late Norman B. Ream.
 When informed of the decision that her secret marriage in hoboken was still binding, despite the annulmept in January, 1912, she said:
 "I'm in love with my work on the stage. AS for still being in love with MT. Ream, well, all know about him is that he is in Worcester, Mass. Re. conciliation? ] hadn't even thought of if. .u

There are thirty-five chronic ty-
phoid carriers" in New York City,
the health department announces,
and the list is constantly growing.
The carriers" spread the disease
wherever they are employed without
themselves being subject to its raw
ages. The board Of health has placed
them on the list of danger spots"
The present methods have grown
out of the lessons learned through
tracing the career of Typhoid Mary"
who attained national celebrity few
years ago when several epidemics of
typhoid were directly traced back to
the positions in which she had been
employed as a cook. She was a good
cook and never was long without
work, but after the experts found out
that the dread typhoid followed all
Of her engagements they decided she
must be restrained for the safety Of
the city.
She finally was allowed at large
under the terms of a parole under
which she promised never again to
accept position where she might
handle food intended for human con-
sumption. A rediscovery of Typhoid
Mary" came about under tragic cir
cumstances. She had broken her
parole and accepted position as
cook in the Sloane Maternity Hospi-
tai, and within the accepted period
of incubation of that disease there
appeared twenty-four cases of ty-
phoid among the physicians, nurses
and patients in that institution.
Typhoid Mary" was taken in
charge again by the department Of
health, and she is now, after two at
tempts in court to obtain her release,
q patient in a hospital on North
Brother Island, where she is likely to
pass the remainder of her days.
