Kay Laurell Sheehan, formerly a
member of the Ziegfeld "Follies," has
brought action for separation against

secretary to Police Commissioner Waldo
and now manager of the Fox circuit Of
vaudeville theatres.
The suit was filed yesterday in the
Supreme Court by Mrs. Sheehan's at
torneys, Pierce & Hopkins. The actress
alleges cruelty. Shortly after the mar
riage, she says, Sheehan Commenced a
course Of unkind, harsh and tyrannical
conduct toward her"
The couple were married in London
in May, 1916. The ceremony was per-
formed at the Corpus Christi Church.
When they returned to the United

Hartford, Conn, July 14.-John F.

S5Q000,000 concern. and Ralph X. Hyde,
thirty-nine, of Brookline, Mass, an ex-

No Paralysis Epidemic
This Year, Says Report
Only II Cases Found. Against
1900 Last Year

No epidemic Of infantle paralysis
will terrorize New York this year, ac-
cording to a statement issued by the
Department of Health yesterday. Only
seventy-seven cases have been reported
to the officials since January /, whereas
in the first seven months Of 1916 1900
cases were on record.
Less than one-third Of the possible
poliomyelitis cases this year were real
cases of the disease. Commissioner
Emerson says physicians are more
closely watching for the appearance of
the disease than ever before. They re-
port every suspicion, no matter how
slight, which makes it unlikely that any
considerable number of cases will
escape detection and supervision.
Most Of the cases reported under the
name Of infantile paralysis this year
were meningitis. The department is in
sisting that every suspected case be
cared for at a hospital unless perfect
isolation can be secured at home.
Last week the city had the lowest
death rate of any week in its history,
Commissioner Emerson said. The death
rate among babies less than one year
old in the period from January / to
date was S5 for each 1000 births, and
the rate for the same period last year
was SO. Ten years ago the death rate
! for babies was double that number.

interior alarms facilitated sending
alarms to the Fire Department.

A new song made its appearance IN
camp to-day and tonight is being
PLAYED in all hotels and restaurants.
With the time of departure close at
hand the sentiment appeals to the men
and it bids fair to be adopted as a
marching song.
The words, by Rita Gould, are as fol-
lows:
Send me away with a smile. little girl;
Brush the tears from eyes brown.
It's all for the best. and I'm off with the rest
OF boys from my own home town.
Il may be forever that we part, little girl;
IL may be for only while;
And if fight dear, we must. in our Maker
we trust
So send me away with smile.
Lacking only forty men TO be at full
war strength the entire 1st Field Artll-
lery Regiment of the National Guard,
which includes four batteries from
New York, is under canvas tonight.
Thousands of spectators from the
town visited the encampment to-day
and listened to stories of the border
from men who, until six months ago,
were seeing service in Texas.
Eighteen men were discharged from
the camp to-day. among them being
eight New Workers. They are j. F..
Schneider, R. H. Richter, T. R. Ruben
stein, Everett w. King. j. S. Curtin,
F. S. Male and Harold W. Weber. The
