A LOVE
SHE SAYS
Sister of Six-Day Bride
Giggles Over the
Situation.

A volley of giggles greeted visi-
tor who called yesterday afternoon at
the home of Louis Exenor, in Ocean
Grove, n. j., to hear what the family
of Mrs. Rose Exenor Tyson had to say
about her marital difficulties. After six
days of married life Mrs. Tyson has sep
arated from her husband, John Tyson,
of Riverside and Stamford, Conn, who
has developed the business of being
millionaire to a high point of efil-
cheney and has appeared often IN
court for automobile offences. Ac-
cording to Tyson, the separation oc-
Cured becadse he loved Mrs. Olive j.
Bass, of Stamford, and had only mar
ried Miss Exenor for spite.
At the Exenor home a woman who
said she was Mrs. Tyson's sister, but
who refused to give her name and
kept herself hidden behind a partly
closed door, was somewhat skeptical
when informed that her sisters mar
riage had been a failure. More than
that, it amused her. She giggled,
turned, and told some one else, and
some one else began to giggle. Finally
the sister said:
Johns n sport, and don't believe
he married Rose for spite. No man
who has been married twice is going
into a third unless he loved the wom-
an. He had known Rose two years
and they were great friends. We
have heard nothing about the sepa-
ration and don't expect to hear any
thing"
Mrs. Bass lives in Stamford with
her mother, Mrs. Josephine Hawley.
above delicatessen store. Mrs. Bass
wasn't at home yesterday. 1t was
variously reported that she was in
every town between Stamford and
New York. with the majority favor
ing Riverside. Mrs. Hawley, however.
said it was true that Tyson loved her
daughter, and that it was also true
that her daughter loved Tyson. This
latter statement was made by Tyson,
too.
Mrs. Hawley said that her daugh-
ter and Tyson had planned TO be mar
ried some time during the present
month, provided the annument pro-
ceeding which Mrs. Bass had started
against her husband, Alexander II.

STATE SEEKS WAY
FOR STRIKE TRUCE
Mediators Delay Inquiry
Want Car Men and Trac-
ton Chiefs to Meet.

The State Industrial Commission has
temporarily postponed its plan FOR
holding an official investigation into
the traction strike, but during the next
week will exert every effort to bring
representatives from the Interborough
board of directors and the striking
car men together for the purpose OF
mediation. A programme will be
adopted Tuesday.
1--WE realize the difficulty We are fac

Frank B. Thorne, director of the com

Yesterday, "but we are determined the
public has suffered long enough, and
that the question Of who shall meet
who must no longer delay settle

"Oficials of the Interborough, obvl-
ously, will resist the plan TO have them
confer with any Of the officials OF the
Amalgamated Association of Street
Railway Employees. Yet the men, on
their side. will naturally insist that
heads of the national association shall
act for them, since all the strikers are
members of the national organization.
1t is this problem, apparently, has thus
far held the men and their employers
apart.
"Yet we feel that somewhere there
is a common ground on which repre-
sentatives from both sides can meet:

URGE LEGISLATURE
TO SETTLE CITY STRIKE
Assemblymen and Senators to
Act on Monday.

A meeting Of all New York City
members of the Assembly and Senate
to urge the calling of a special ses-
sion of the Legislature to settle the
traction strike has been arranged for
4 o'clock Monday afternoon at the Ho-
tel Biltmore by Assemblyman Vincent
Gilroy, of the nth District. His let
ter to the members Of the Leyis-
lature reads:
"The only solution must come from
the Legislature in extending the
powers of the Public Service Com,
mission and enabling it to compel
arbitration. II would seem. therefore,
that it is our duty as representatives
from the city TO urge upon the Gov
ernor. who hitherto has been deaf to
all appeals, to call a special session
Immediately to deal with this situa-
ton"

German-American Writes
as Representative
of Bakers.
HARTIGAN ALSO SEES
BREAD FAMINE AHEAD
But Pillsbury Agent Says
No Danger of This
Exists.

From he office OF A. f. Plarre,
German-American insurance agent at
81 Broadway, letters were sent last
night to President Wilson and to mem
bers OF Congress. asking for an en-
barge or flour and wheat Mr.. Plarre
said the letters were written on behalf
Of the Boss Bakers Association o.
Brooklyn, of which he was once pres
ident. This is the latest turn the h'gh
price OF bread talk has taken.
Mr.. Plarre, who did not volunteer
the information that he was no longer
a baker until asked, admitted that ne
had spoken at all the meetings OF
bakers in this city in the last two
weeks where the question OF food
embargo was raised. and that without
one execution all the meetings were
transacted in the German language.
These bakers organizations are
made up entirely Of Germans and
German-Americans, Mr. Plarre said,
with the exception of the Brooklyn or
ganization, which has a few non-Ger-
mans.
Thinks Movement Will Spread.
at is possible that this may lead to
other trades following the lead of the
bakers. ard asking Congress and the
President 10 place an embargo on all
foodstuirs," said Mr.. Plarre.
But Joseph Hartigan, Commissioner
of Weights and Measures, went Mr..
Plarre one better, saying he had infor-
nation that there would be nation
wide effort made TO stop the export OF
all foodstuffs.
Mr. Plarre and his associates have
distributed printed petitions, asking
Congress and the President to place
an embargo on wheat The petition
begins by declaring that "the under
signed citizens of the United States
believe that the 1916 crop of wheat
and the surplus Of the 1915 crop are
barely sufficient for the needs of this
country, and ends with an appeal for
legislation to stabilize prices.
The first talk of any embargo on
foOdstuffs, so far as could be learned
last nlgnJ, was AT meeting VI tue
United Master Bakers of Greater New
York, on September 10. At this meet
ing resolution was adopted urging
Congress and the President to stop the
export of flour and wheat.
See Wheat Famine Ahead.
Mr.. Plarre, who is an ex-president
of the New York State organization of
master bakers, said that within the
next few days the bakers of Buffalo,
Rochester, Syracuse, Utica, and other
large cities in this state would i'm
mediately follow the lead of those in
New York. Both Mr.. Plarre and Com
missioner Hartigan say they fear a
famine in flour and wheat in this
country before long.
George A. Zabriskie, a wheat and
-four expert, the New York representa-
tive of the Pillsbury Flour Mills, is Of
an entirely different opinion.
THE fact is" said Mr.. Zabrskie
Yesterday, "that there is no danger
whatever of a wheat or -four famine.
Our crop this year was 6l1,000,00O
bushels OF wheat. While we consume
625, 1000, 900 bushels ourselves, We have
held over from last year 130,00O,0OO
bushels. That, plus our 1916 crop,
gives us surplus of 1l4,000,0OO.
Moreover, the average housewife in
this country wastes her bread. Many
of them, instead of using the stale
bread, throw it away"

Announcement Of the vote came after
members of the committee had been
in session almost four hours behind
closed doors. When the reporters were
admitted Mr.. Frayne read the vote.
He prefaced it with statement that
eighty unions were represented at the
meeting. The names of those present
he said, would not be given out.
In reply to question, he said the
vote was had after the letter Of Mayor
Mitchell and Oscar S. Straus, threaten.
ing to call out militia in the event OF
additional trouble, had been read and
considered.
"What will Gompers say on this &C
tion?" he was asked.
Let Gompers out of this. He was
not here. OF course, he is in sympathy
with what has been done"
Secretary Bohm had, he said, a list
of those unions which have taken
action, as we'll as list Of those rep
resenting the unions at the conference.
But Mr.. Bohm would not give either
list out.

"and then you'll know. perhaps"
Next to Fitzgerald, the most power
full labor man now in New York, T. '.
O'Connor. international president OF

present at the meeting. For some rea,

he would abide by the decision of the
committee.

tween now and next Tuesday. What do
you boys think of the situation? ?"
THAT there has been whole lot OF
blufing." a reporter answered.
THAT is il exactly" replied the long
shore chief, "a whole lot of it."
More definite O'Connor would not be,
though he left it for his hearers to
infer that the action Of the longshore-
men would depend largely on the other
trades. He did make IL clear that the
one shipping firm in New York with
whom the longshoremen had differ
ence had arranged settlement.

When Lohmeyer, holding his night
stick in one hand and his revolver in
the other, reached the Wormser resi-
dence he found large crowd outside
looking up at the top floor window,
which Kenny had raised. Vehicles
which had been stopped by their driv-
ers blocked the avenue and five or six
buses accorded grandstand seats for
the passengers.
In the mean time Kenny had encoun-
tered Nicholas Heisdorff, the Wormser
butler. on the top floor.
"What are you looking for" asked
the butler.

Startled by the wild look in the mans
eyes and his nervous manner, Heis-
dorff hurried into the bathroom and OBJ
tanned glass Of water, while Kenny
strobe into the front room, Mrs. Worm

with an insane man, the butler said he

Lohmeyer's heavy tread was heard on

"Ah. they're coming after me. are

himself headlong through the opening.
The crowd below had backed away
from the front of the residence and no
one was injured as the man hurtled 70

on a produce truck which had stopped
and drove to the hospital, where Kenny
