Husband, Accused of Nom
Support, Says Her Jealousy
Cost Him His Job
By BRIGGS

The first real objection that has
arisen to the employment Of girls as
elevator operators was brought to light
in the Domestic Relations Court yes
terday. when Mrs. Amanda Mobus, OF
$40 Manhattan Avenue, had her nus
band. Charles Mobius. an startment
house janitor, summoned 20 court on
the grounds Of non-support. The nus
bands defence was that ne had not
been derelict in his duty until his
wifes jealousy caused him to lose his
position as janitor of the apartment
house at GA West 18TH Street.
Mobius insisted that everything was
going smoothly until the nigh cost Oh
labor nEde it necessary for him TO
substitute girl elevator operators Tor
men. Then his wife thought he was
having too much attention TO the girls.
But-.r he explained-"grls are girls

Three in Jersey Race
For u. S. Senatorship
Governor Edge 10 Entertain
His Political Rival, Colonel
Austin Colgate

SEAGIRT, y. j., Aug. 23.-Republi-
can politicians, Office holders and office
seekers who gathered here to-day for
governor Walter Z. Edges second re-
ception Of the season, found the an
nouncement of Colonel Austin Colgate's
candidacy for the United States Senate
nomination one of the interesting m
cidents Of the day, for the reason that
Governor Edge is expected 10 be can
didate. Governor Edge defeated the
colonel for the gubernatoral nomina-
ton last fall. The Governor is to
entertain Mr.. Colgate at the little White
House here tomorrow, and, inciden-
tally, take him on at golf at the Spring
Lake Club.
Former Governor Edward Casper
Stokes is also reported 10 have his eye
on the toga which Senator William
Hughes. of Paterson, wears. Mr.. Stokes
was among the politicians here to-day,
but. like other leaders, declined to
comment on the Colgate announcement.
II was generally believed that the race
would be among this trio, for the re-
port that Hamilton Kean, Of Union,
also aspires 20 the Office was not given
much credence.
Nearly every county has its guber-
Material boom. Some Of the candidates
thus far listed include Senator Rich
ards, of Atlantic; Blanchard White, Of
Burlington; State Treasurer Read, Of
Camden; Controller Bugbee, Of Mer-
Ger; Lew Stevens, of Cape May; Ev-
orett Colby, Mayor Raymond of New
ark and Ira S. Kip, of Essex; Congress
man Edward Grey and Jesse Z. Sal
mon, also Of Newark; Senator Gaunt,
of Gloucester; Senator McCran ard TO-
mer Senator Prince, Of Passaic.

Police to Get Credit
For Aiding Detectives
Woods Plans New System to
Eliminate Withholding of
Information

Police Commissioner Woods further
strengthened the Detective Bureau yes
terday by announcing that in the future
patrolmen will be given credit for in
formation given TO detectives. Here
tofore detectives have carefully omit
ted from reports all reference TO assist
ance given By the uniformed force.
It is planned TO credit patrolmen on
the merit card system, on which are
based advancements other than those
provided by Civil Service and on which
Commissioner Woods depends for ma
teral for the Detective Bureau of the
future. II is hoped that the new sys-
tenn will eliminate the evil of having
patrolmen withhold information. as was
shown in the investigation following
the finding of Ruth Cruger's body.
Members of the force who may fur
nish information about suspicious per-
sons or places, about crimes which have
been committed, about conditions which
NAV lead to the commission of a crime
or about remarks or acts brought to lis
attention which might have bearing
on crimes committed or which may lead
to the prevention of crime shall re-
ceive merits in proportion 70 the value
of such information" the Commissioner
stated in the order to the department.
Failure Of the detectives working on
a case to report assistance given BY
uniformed men will result in dement's,
which will either cause a reduction in
rank Of the detective or his transfer TO
patrolwork As a check, patrolmen, af-
ter giving detectives information, will
be required to file full report with
their commanders. to be forwarded to
the Commissioners Office.

Firemen Check
5th Ave. Traffic
To Battle Blaze
Woman Hair Dresser and
Customer Collapse After
Sending In Alarm

A fire engine and hook and ladder
came hooting up Fifth Avenue at $3.50
last night. The glittering sweep Of
vehicles paused in perfunctory defer
ence as the fremen stormed through
its midst and came 10 a halt just above
the Waldorf. Then the resistless tide
of motors began again, while, without
backward glance, the rubber-coated
tiremen shouldered hose lengths and
axes and set about their days work.
The fire which had been discovered on
he eighth floor of the Acker Merrall
& Condit Building, at No. SEE Fifth
Avenue, was "a hot little blaze" as the
chiefs driver puts it, and Fifth Avenue
had to wait for the hremen. North
bound traffic was shunted east at oath
Street and southbound swerved west
az 35th Street.
Helen Steiner, hair dresser en-
poyed by Nine. Pom on the eighth
floor, had discovered the blaze in the
shop of the International Millinery
Company. She had brought the first
apparatus by telephone and a box
alarm and a second alarm followed in
quick succession.
As soon as she had snapped the re-
ceiver back into its rack Miss Steiner
shrieked a warning 10 the woman
whose hair she had abandoned when
she smelled smoke. She grabbed up
Nine. Pon's parrot, Jocko, and started
downstairs. followed by the half
coifed customer At the fourth floor
the smoke and nervous strain became
too much fol- Jocko. who tore himself
loose and vanished with heart-rending
ard ear-Splitting squawks.
The two women collapsed on reach
ing the street and required medical
attention. DR.. Harry Archer also
treated Firemen James Deacy and
Henry Witte of Engine No. 26, who
were caught by hack draft and
burned The damage was about 100000,
exclusive of the wear and tear on
chauffeurs' feelings. II was an hour
before the avenue was reopened to
traffic. Jocko was not found.
