BETZ BALKS AT PAYING
ALTMONY OF $4,000
Reminds Court That War Has
Materially Reduced His
Yearly Income

Strenuous objection to paying $4,000 a
year as permanent almony to his wife
from his income Of more than $91 900 per
year, was made today by John F. Betz, Sd,
through his counsel 4. T. Rothermel, Jr.,
before President Judge Bregy and Judge
Patterson in Court Of Common Pleas No. I.
Betz Is the grandson Of the late John +.
Betz, wealthy brewer.
The objection was made by Betz after
admitting that he owned an estate valued
at $4,000, 900, five motorcars, one Of the
most luxurious yachts ahoat and aeroplanes.
Mrs. eBtz, who is suing her husband for
divorce, was before her marriage, in 1905,
Miss Emma Gillig daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. John George Gillig, wealthy New
Workers After their marriage the pair
lived at 4224 Pine street Mrs. Betzs case
was referred to william A. Carr, as master
and i'm recommending that divorce be
granted, Carr asked that permanent ali
mony he allowed the wife in the sum Of
100000. The pair have two children.
Mr.. Rothermel, in opposing the masters
recommendation as to almony, admitted
in "A manner consistent with her husbands
income, but he protested that an award OF
100000 was eNorhitant.
He pointed out that the new income tax
bill now before Congress, If passed, would
reduce Mr.. Betz's income at least 10000,
and another bill prohibiting the use of food
stuffs in the manufacture Of alcoholic liquors
would make an additional slice Of about
$4,000 from Betzs income, derived from
the brewing company He also mentioned
the fact that his client had recently turned
over his private yacht to the Government to
be used for war purposes,

SAILORS PARTY FILLS
SCRIPTURAL PARABLE
Suffragists Go Out Into High
ways and Byways for
Guests
FEAST ALREADY SPREAD
But Mix-up Prevents Arrival Of Blue
jackets Formally
Invited

II any one tries 10 tell you that a sailor
has sweetheart in every port. don't believe
it. The theory is as extinct as the dodo
bird. Ask any member Of the Philadelphia
branch Of the woman's Suffrage party They
had eighty tangible proofs at their head
quarters on Saturday night.
Early in the week one Of the officers OF
the organization called up the Y. NJ. c. A..
where they have sailors for dinner, supper
and parties and asked II they might enter
tain seventy men from Z 80 TO II 80 o'clock
on Saturday night. The Y NJ G. A. prom
tscd and the suffragists laid in a supply Of
all sorts Of good things and invited lot
Of pretty girls to help entertain
The girls arrived al 1921 Chestnut street
promptly This is the suffrage lunch room
where the party was given, Mrs. A. E.
Burns, 2530 South Colorado street, was
hostess. She and the receiving party and
u lew impatient reporters waited.
The minutes dragged. Eight o'clock came
and went and no sailor boys appeared.
The party began to take on the aspect Of
"A performance Of Hamlet" without the
ghost Frantic messages from the Y NJ.
c. \. showed that there had been a mis-
take somewhere. and the seventy were
astray no one knew where
1t was then that the affair turned into
a revised version Of the Bible story of the
man who set great feast for out into
receiving party and gathered in sailors boys
all the way from Seventeenth and Chest
nut streets to the Reading Terminal and
back.
And they came in droves, sailors and
marines and boys who had just arrived in
Philadelphia the day before, and boys who
had been in port since April. Young, most
Of them, and ptifully eager to have n bit
of fun. They found it at the suffrage party.
They sang and talked and chaffed each
other and Confded their experiences and
troubles and joys to any listener who was
at all sympathetic. And they left with
visible reluctance at midnight asking visit
fully if they might come again. So there
will be party at 1921 Chestnut street
every Saturday night all summer and all
the boys who haven't sweethearts or friends
either, for that matter, will be welcome.
"l've been here since April" one frank
eyed young fellow exclaimed he said
good night, "and until a young lady in a
brown hat came up TO me in City Hall
square and invited me to the party not q
| decent woman has spoken to me-"
Twelve of the boys were Just loafng'

FiLibuSter in Senate

Continued from Page One
an amendment for the development Of coal
and oil lands
Senator Cummins, Of Iowa. offered an
amendment which would authorize the

CHAMBERLAIN'S PREDICTION
Senator Chamberlain, Of oregon, in
charge Of the food control bill predicted to-
day that the Senate would concur not only
In the amendment forbiddlng the use Of
foodstuffs in the manufacture of intoxicants
but also in the provision authorizing the
President to commander distilled spirits for
munitions purposes.
II believe that the temper Of the Senate
favors these amendments" said Senator
Chamberlain. The best bet today is that
the country is going bone dry"
The problem of finding new sources OF
revenue to meet the Federal treasury deficit
II the prohibition amendments become the
law absorbed the attention OF the mem
bers Of the Senate Finance Committee. who
are considering the big war revenue bill.
They took no action, but they did not
minimize the seriousness OF the question of
devlsing new means TO obtain the half bill
lion or more Of war revenue expected to be
derived from liquor
Senator Simmons, chairman OF the COM
mittee, said that the House action would
not delay the reporting of the bill. He ex-
planned that the committee would recon-
mend the passage Of the bill with the liquor
taxes included, and that II the prohibition
amendments were adopted by the Senate
the revenue bill could be amended then.

FLUCK ASKS TO CURE
"FLAW" IN TRANSIT SUIT

Otto Wolff, Jr.. attorney for Frank w
Fluck. a taxpayer. who instituted proceed
ings against the whole scheme for transit
appeared before President Judge Audenried
and Judge Finletter, in Court No. 1. to-
DAY and made formal application for leave
70 amend his petition in the case so as to
include in the issue question regarding
the legal effect the suit will have on the
100000 worth of bonds already sold to
finance construction of the subway in Broad
street
Fluck, a brother of Charles L. FIuck
president of the Northwest Business Mems
Association, who has been opposing the
transit plans. contends that the special cleo
tion at which the S67100,O 900 port-transit
loan was approved was illegal because the
amendment to the constitution under which
u was held had not been put into operation
Oy the Legislature as is required by the bill
Oh rights Fluck seeks to enjoin the carry
ing out of agreements and contracts for the
proposed new transit system and to re-
strain the bond issue and the expenditures
OF moneys and the contracting of further
obligations and Indebtedness by the city in
connection with the work.
When the case was called last week City
solicitor Connolly argued that the proceed
lngs were not started with any degree of
ceerity, as the special election which is now
attacked was held year ago. In addition
70 70 being guilty of delay, he pointed out,
Fiuck had no standing to obtain the relief
sought. as the technical grounds which
ne laid were vague and indefinite and not
suftcient to halt a vast public improvement
and necessity.
Judge Audenried, during the brief hear
ing, noticed that the bill of complaint made
no mention regarding the effect of any de-
cison the Court might render on the bonds
aaready issued. Mr.. Connolly said he had
tnls In mind, too, and it was then agreed
mat Attorney Wolff should amend his suit.
