TREATED AS SLAVE
BY HUSBAND, SAYS
WEALTHY WOMAN

NEW YORK.. Aug. 21.-Relations
existing between Mrs. Clara Hunting
ton Perkins, daughter Of Henry z Hunt
ington, and a niece Of tbs late Coils P.
Huntington, and her husband, Gilbert
B. Perkins, before their separation
last January, were revealed when
safe deposit boxes in the Guaranty
Trust Company and the Brooklyn City
Safe Deposit Company were opened.
In the latter were found SEQ, 900
worth OF bonds OF the Central Pacific
Railway and the Erie Railroad Com
pany, representing part fthe sale
price OF Mrs. Perkins Pasadena home.
In civil actions against her husband
to recover securities valued at about
$3.50, 900 Mrs. Perkins had alleged
that he had taken all OF the sos, 900
she received for her Pasadena home,
and had not accounted for Il, but had
purchased q Brooklyn garage in his
own name.
Replies to Charges
Mr.. Perkins, contesting the various
actions, replied that she had given
SOC. 900 to him, had directed him to In
vest not more than $50 1000 In the
garage and to keep $50 1000. He
said he had invested $4,000 in the
garage, had placed the 100000 In .
safe deposit vault for Mrs. Perkins,
and was using $1,000 for operating
penses.
But, Of more interest IN the Guar
anty Trust Company's vaults were
letters which Mrs. Perkins had writ
ten to her fether-in-law indicating
she had given up what Yomised to be
q career as an artist and sculptor to
devote all her time to her three small
children.
The letters were made q part Of
the court records.

In another letter Mrs. Perkins
wrote:

though q wife was only At to be

CANAHALF-CLAD
MILITARY OFFICER
Drink AT A BAR?

NEW YORK. Aug. 21.-when is q
United States army or navy officer not
an officer?
When he's In q bathing suit
That was an easy one compared
with some Of the conundrums that
puzzled the members OF the West Side
Hotel Club, proprietors Of the larger
hotels uptown, at their meeting yes
terday. They want to know just how
to obey the law forbidding the sale Of
alcoholic liquors to officers and men
in the uniform Of the United States
army and navy. And they want to
keep their liquor licenses. So. in a
letter, Copeland Townsend. of the Ho-
tel Majestic, put the riddles up to At
torney General Gregory at Washing
ton. Mr.. Townsend asked this one:
A party enters a hotels restaurant.
Some of the men are in uniform. some
in civilian clothes; perhaps women
are with them. The men in uniform
order soft drinks, the civilians order
booze. When the waiter turns away
the drinks are exchanged Is the
hotel proprietor liable7
Another:
A uniformed man enters a dressing
room. He comes our without MS cap
and blouse, leans against the bar and
orders whiskey. He is a civilian SO
far as the bartender can see. Can this
man refresh his upper half with an
alcoholic drink, or half an alcoholic
drink?
An officer, or man in the ranks, in
q bathing suit can pass q whole day
on q beach and get all the hard drinks
he wants. Does the hotel man who
sells them break the law?
'sAs I see it." Mr.. Townsend con-
cluded, 'the only possible ruling is
to refuse to serve drinks at any table
where there are men in uniform, and
this is, and rightly so, offensive to
civilians who believe, inherently, that
this Is a free country"

HOUSE TO CONSIDER
SHORT-TERM BONDS
Five Per Cent Interest Predicted
On Future War Issues.

A series Of short-term bonds, pay
able in three to five years, TO be issued
for domestic needs will be considered
by the House Ways and Means Com
mittee when It meets this week.
The purpose OF those who propose
such bonds is to prevent payment Of
high interest charges through a
period OF cheap money which experts
believe will follow the war.
The new issue of bonds for allied
loans will carry 4 per cent interest
in all likelihood and q per cent
rate on all bonds Is predicted by
many IL the war continues long. 1t
Is this tendency OF the bonds of the
Government to advance In rates that
Is drawing attention to the advis-
ability of the short-tsrm bonds for
domestic uses.

Shipbuilders Say They Have All
They Can Do Now.

Secretary Daniels plan for the big
gest destroyer neet In the world has
struck . temporary snag In the
opposition Of Shipbuilders to under
taking so big q task now.
While q few OF the conferees who
met him yesterday were enthusiastic
over his proposal, others pleaded
pressure Of business for the Shipping
Board as preventing them from tax
ing more work.
Mr.. Daniels will make q further
survey, and he anticipates that he
will be able to swing the opponents
into line As far as his information
goes they can build the boats without
hampering the Shipping Board. though
apparently the Shipping Board con-
tracts are more attractive.

EVIDENCE Of WAR
EXISTS PLENTYI IN
NEW YORK HARBOR

NEW YORK. Aug. 21.-The war
has put pep into harbor excursions.
No longer does the small motor
launch, the cat-boat or houseboat
wend It's way down the harbor I'M
challenged and unmolested. One real
ly appreciates the fact that America
is ain" after a water Jaunt.
Every craft, large or small. Il held
up by the Government patrol boats
and asked for an account OF itself.
OF course the large steamers are
easily discernible and therefore not
stopped.
But woe betide the private yacht or
craft of any description that attempts
to get by. 1t may cruise along for
mixes, its occupants smiling at the
thought OF putting one over on Uncle
Sam. At this juncture q business
like little patrol boat Is liable to
come alongside. A murderous-look-
from the boat q stentorian voice d.
reefs that the craft put back and re-
port to the mother ship. And the
craft that tried to run the gauntlet
goes back.
Another stern reminder that the
United States means business are the
buoys marking the position Of the
great steel net extending across the
harbor. The net is designed to take
care OF any U-boats that come this
way. The harbor is an unheslthy
place for becalmed sRilboat.
'Twould be decidedly unhealthy. the
authorities will tell you, to allow
your boat to bump into any stray
floating object. Mines are no respect
ers of ships.

fair sailor expressed It

MAKE WEALTHPAY
FOR WAR, DEMANDS
SEN.LAFOLLETTE

In q savage outburst against the
pending war revenue bill, in which
he demanded that great wealth be
made to bear . fair burden OF tae
cost of the war, Senator La Toilette
Of Wisconsin today found opportun-
fly also to express his feeling that
the great majority Of the people Of
the country want peace.
"I submit, Senators, that this Is not
q time to adopt . weak, hating, and
unjust financial policy for the con-
duct Of the war" he said.
Estimating that a total of at least
$40, I35, sO7 900 must be obtained from
the people of the country this year in
order to carry on the war, Senator La
Toilette demanded that a great pro-
portion of It be raised by taxation
and that a larger share than the bill
provides come out OF great incomes
and vast war profits.
1--WE will have to reckon with an
expenditure of probably thirty or
forty billion dollars for the succeed
ing fiscal year II this war continues"
he said.
He insisted that instead OF depend
ing so largely on bonds, a greater per-
centage OF the war cost must come
from taxes and that wealth must be
conscripted.
"why stop with taxing tea, coffee,
sugar. and medicines OF the poor
man?'' asked Senator La Toilette sar-
castically. why not levy a tax upon
every pound of flour and upon every
peck OF potatoes and upon every ounce
OF butter that he buys for his family?
The principle Is the same"
LIsts sIIIIIonairea.
Presenting q long list OF million
aires whose annual incomes are over
$1,000, 900, Senator La Toilette de-
manded that greater taxes be applied
to them.
Picturing the. bread lines Of next
winter, Senator La Toilette said:

TOUGH ON THE SNAKE

A certain railroad man says he is
on the lookout for a bunch of veno-
nous snakes to keep for scientific and
medical purposes.
The following story will explain
this statement:
This particular man on one. of his
runs was not feeling at all we'll and
he thought that If he could get a
drink of liquor it would be about
what he needed, so he went to drug
store, beginning to tremble as he
went in, and approaching the drug
gist stated that he had been on a
bender and that if he did not get a
drink he would probably go crazy.
The druggist looking him over
said: "There is only one hope for you
and that is to get snake bitten and the
only snake in town is owned by a
fellow down on the corner who will
let him bite you for quarter.
The man with the burning thirst
went to the address mentioned and
sure enough-there was fellow with
an old spotted snake that wouldn't
harm anyone and string of fellows
were lined up for their bite, each
putting quarter in an old iron pot
as the snake bit him.
The Fort Scooter took his am on
the outside and moved up as fast as
man was bitten, but just as he was
up to third place in the line the snake
fell over dead. And with the mercury
hanging around the zero mark 1t was
impossible to find another snake
