S67 900 ALIMONY
ASKED TO COVER
REST OF HER LIFE
Mrs. Bauchle, Who Got Divorce
in an Hour, Says Lawyer
Agreed to Pay $500 Monthly

1t took Mrs. Florence Fyles Bauchle
one hour " get divorce in 1918, in
Reno, from George Young Bsuchle,
lawyer. first nighter and wealthy
patron Of sports. She has not been
as successful in collecting the $500 a
month allowance which Bauchle agreed
10 pay for the rest of her life or until
she should remarry.
Mrs. Bauchle, who was his second
wife. has not remarked, and yesterday
she began a suit to recover $4,000
under the agreement. This amount
represents allowance due since Deem
Der, 1915. and for the rest of the plain
tif's life under her own estimate Of
her expectancy of life, the implication
being that she expects to remain un-
married.
Bauchle, whose income is fixed by
the plaintiff at "at least $4,000" q
year, has remarked. Two and a half
years ago he took as his third wife
Mrs. Myrtle Goodrich Sloan. Of Chi
cago, who had been twice divorced.
His first wife, who was Miss Louise
Moon, of Brooklyn. died in 1906 from
an overdose Of headache pills.
Mrs. Bauchle. the divorced wife now
suing, is a daughter of the late Frank
lyn Fyles, playwright and dramatic
critic. The Reno divorce suit was
based on allegations of extreme
cruelty. II is alleged by Mrs. Bauchle
that while her suit was pending her
husband suggested an agreement under
which she was not TO ask for alimony
from the court, Bsuchle agreeing TO
pay her $500 a month pending the suit
and for life or remarriage in case she
succeeded, and also her counsel fees.
He provided that this allowance was TO
continue as long as he was financially
able TO pay il. At no time was the
allowance to be less than $3.50 month.
The $500 monthly payments ceased
in December, 1915, and since then Mrs.
Bauchle alleges her former husband
has neglected TO provide at all for her.
She says that she is without means.
George Young Bauchle is the name
sake and was the fsvorite grandson Of
the late George Young, who made
fortune in the manufacture Of licorice
as member of the firm of Young &
Smylie. Bauchle received a large share
Of his grandfather's estate. Mr..
Young also placed in trust S25O,OOO
for Bauchle's daughter of his first
marriage, who is now about thirteen
years old.

SUGAR FOR CAKE
is FORBIDDEN IN
ENGLISH HOMES
Use of Chocolate in Pastry
Barred After February
by Food Dictator

London, Jan. ll.-Baron Davenport,
the Food Controller, has issued further
orders designed to check needless con-
sumption of foodstuffs. IL becomes eff
fective on February 1.
After that date it is illegal to manu-
fscture any forms Of chocolate retailed
at a price exceeding 3 pence an ounce
or any other sweetmeat exceeding 2
pence an ounce. The use of sugar or
chocolate for the external covering OF
cakes, pastry, etc, is forbidden. Dur
ing 1917 no manufacturer will be al
lowed to use for confectionery over 80
per cent of the amount OF sugar used
by him for such purpose in 1915.
The feeding Of wheat to animals is
prohibited. To discourage the raising
of pheasants, which are destructive to
crops, the feeding of them with grain
which can be used as food is illegal.

uttered his famous prophecy about
million men rushing 10 arms over
night when danger should threaten
America. Questions of the fitness OF
those millions meant nothing TO the
high school rebels.
Were just as patriotic as the 9TH
ers who are always shouting for war"
they argued. "The fellows that do the
shouting are the ones that should go
TO war. IL there is danger of an at
tack. then we should join a regiment
as quickly, if not more so, than the
shouterS."
Said one rhetorical youth: "Wsr is
hell. Preparedness is for war. Mill
tary training is for preparedness"
One boy believed that the training
prescribed by the state school laws
was actual preparation for militarism
in the United States.
"BrandiShing a knife is for the pur-
pose Of having it cut good" he said
fguratively. That's what preparing
for war is
This is believed to be the first in
stance of an organized revolt on the
part Of schoolboys since the law re-
curing a certain amount of physical
training in schools became effective,
last September. DR.. John H. Finley,
head Of the State Department Of Edu-
cation, was quoted last week as saying
that the revolt of single New Ro-
chelle High School student against the
physical training was the first instance
Of its kind in the state.
The ruling in the case Of the New
Rochelle student, the son of a Socialist
leader. was that he must take the train
ing II he wished TO stay in school The
boy declined and left school.

Saws Evelyn Nesbit

Thaw attempted to commit suicide
with laudsnum in Paris in 1904, and
was saved only by the prompt applica-
ton of the stomach pump, according to
his former wife, Evelyn Nesbit, now
Mrs. Jack Clifford. He planned 10 kill
her and himself in this city the follow
ing year, she said, but later forgot all
about it.
Mrs. Clifford, who is recovering from
the effects of minor operation at her
home, % West Eleventh Street. was
not told of Thsw's attempt on his life
until after her physician had been con-
suited. She declared that nothing

News of ThaW'S Action
StartIes SWANS Office

News that Harry K. Thaw had cut
his throat startled the District Attor-
ney's Office yesterday, principally pc
cause it was not generally known tnat
Thaw was in Philadelphia. Another
reason for the surprise was the belief
among those who knew Thaw well that
he would eventually face the music,
depending on his fortune and astute
lawyers to clear him of the charges.
at is most unfortunate said As
sistant District Attorney Black. 1.-THE
only conclusion | can draw from the
affair now is that Thaw realized that
we had rounded up all the witnesses
and had ample evidence against him.
He must have seen that there was no
escape" -,
II was learned yesterday that II
Thaw did not realize all that Mr.. Black
gave him credit for yesterday he did

a Tin from an apparently reliable source
that Thaw was in Washington. De.

on that tip, which later was found
false.
II was reported last night that Thaw
walked into the McAlpin while Assist
ant District Attorney Black and his
aids were examining witnesses ard
was told that his reservations Tor
suite had been cancelled. Thaw asked
whether any complaint had been made
against him, but the facts were not
told him. 1t was also learned that this
information had been furnished to Mr.:
Black a short time after Thaw had
quit the hotel.
The best information on the subject
which came out of the hotel was to the
effect that hat check boy, who had
excellent reasons for wanting to do
Thaw a favor, had told him that the
District Attorneys representatives were
at that very moment on his trail. That
was on Saturday morning.
Despite this Thaw, while Detective
Cunniff and the Gump boy were watch
ing the incoming trains at the Penn
syivania Station, was breakfasting at
the Waldorf, lunching with Brewer at
the Belmont and drinking alone ia
Jacks and later sleeping at the Bris-
toll. while the New York police were
not even aware that he was wanted.

may stand trial or he may ask for

He studied his companion carefully and

8 D. M, Thaw met him and said he
wanted TO go home. Williams led the
man to Mrs. Tacot's house, he ex-
planned.
In the hospital this afternoon, ac-
cording to DR.. Kirby, Lieutenant Wood,
assured by the hospital physician that
Thaw's condition was not serious
enough to necessitate an ante-mortem
statement, approached his bedside.
"You are not going to die, Harry, but,
nevertheless, there may be something
which you may now want TO tell US.
Will you do so?" he asked. Doctors,
nurses, attendants and detectives await

AUTOS KILL TEN IN MONTH
Street Fatalities in December Show De
crease Of Two from Previous Year

Automobiles killed ten persons in
New York last month, and in Deem
Der, 1915, only three, according TO Po-
lice Department statistics given out
last night. Motor trucks. however,
caused only seven deaths instead OF
eleven. as in 1915. Horse drawn We
hicles killed two instead Of six. Street
cars, which killed none in December,
1915, killed two last month; but trains,
which had three victims in December,
1915, had a clear record for December,
1915.
Altogether the street accidents of
the city caused thirty-fve deaths last
month, a decrease of two from 1915.
which reflects credit on the efforts Of
the police, according TO the announce
ment. because Of the larger number OF
visitors in the city and the greater
amount Of trucking.
