parently had started from Goals from

Elephant Goes for
Stroll, Taking Part
OF Door With Him

"Big Steve" one of three elephants
billed to appear last night at William
Fox's Star Theatre, 107th Street and
Lexington Avenue, went on the stage
with the indecisive air of an elephant
that has forgotten something and
can't think what it is.
Just as he reached the centre of the
stage the forgotten something apparent
ly smote his intelligence wull in the
midriff, driving out every other thought
Wheeling majestically on his hind fe ct
Big Steve reversed his position and
started at swift, but dignifed, pace
for the stage door. 1t happened to be
closed and Big Steve took it with him
collarwisc.
Big Steve placidly strobe on his way
toward the East River. On reaching
the river the elephant again assumed
q thoughtful air and paused with his
forefeet on the edge of stringpiece
on the brink. After waiting for a few
minutes, looking inquiringly up and
down the river, he whirled about again
and made his way back to the theatre
The police served q summons on
Burns O'Sullivan, manager of the act
The elephant act was called off for the
night, however.

Felix Isman's Second
Wife Seeks Divorce

Felix 1sman, real estate operator. of
New York and Philadelphia, is being
sued for a divorce in the Supreme
Court by his second wife, Mrs. Hazel
Isman.
Before devoting himself entirely to
his real estate operations, which he has
conducted on large scale, Mr.. Isman
was also theatrical manager and the
ntre owner. He quit these latter &C,
tivities in 1908. Two years before that
he married Miss Irene Frizelle. a
chorus girl at the time, who ia now
Miss Irene Fenwick, the star. Thev
were divorced. He married the nrosent
Mrs. 1sman in 1914.
Mrs. Isman is living at "a West
Fifty-ninth Street Her husband was
served in the divorce action at 1872
Broadway.
The allegations are that Mr.. Isman
misconducted himself on November
at 1920 Broadway. The other woman Is
mentioned as being unknown to Mrs.
lsman.
About eleven years ago Mr.. Isman
was falsely made the correspondent in
q divorce suit. The husband who
brought the proceedings made CON
fession on his deathbed that he had
wrongly named the real estate man.
Two Of Mr. Isman's large deals in
New York real estate were the pur-
chase Of the Bennett Building for 81.
700 900 and the Stewart Building for
$4,5o0,oo0. He later turned back the
Stewart property to the Hilton estate

Police Seek 2 Women
In I runk Murder Case
BALLARD Mystery Still Unsolved
Dead Mans Companion
Not Found

For the fifth time in little moro than
thirty years New York has trunk
murder mystery that, like two Of its
predecessors, promises to defy all at
teanpts Of the police to untangle it. AL
though the police are satisfied that Jo-
seph Ballard, Brooklyn shoe repair
man, whose body was found In trunk
at Grand and Mott streets, two blocks
from Police Headquarters, shortly be-
fore midnight Tuesday, was killed to
cover robbery, they are mysti6ed as
to when and where or by whom the
murder was committed
Two Of the former trunk murder
mysteries which to this day remain
unsolved were to all indications the
work OF Italians, with itinerant jewish
jewelry pedlers the victim in each in
stance OF the trunk murders solved,
enc WAS that Of Captain Unger, con-
vicfed for killing a man and shipping
his torso to Baltimore In trunk after
he had thrown the victims head in the
East River.
That several persons, including at
least one woman and possibly two,
were implicated in the BALLARD killing
and the placing of the trunk contain
ing the body almost at the door of
Police Headquarters was the opinion
Of the police,
Detectives spent the greater part Of
yesterday In an effort to find the Ital-
ian who on Tuesday night accompanied
BALLARD to the Cranberry Street house
in Brooklyn, whore the victim had en-
gagged a room a few hours earlier and
who returned to the rooming house
early on Wednesday morning, accom-
panied by a mysterious woman.
That this woman is not the Sarah
Banta. or Blantio, whose name ap-
pearea in pencil upon q panel Of the
trunk was made certain by questioning
Mrs Marion ThArau, owner of the
roorning house, who is acquainted with
the BantA woman, but who has never
before seen the woman who came to
her place on Wednesday with Ballaro's 8
man companion Of the night before.

Ali1noners Are
Cheerful, Though
Still i'm Prison
Turkey and All Trimmings
Hearten Everybody in
Ludlow Street Jail

The members of the Alimony Club
Ludlow Street Jail. And that's no re-
Fiction on their ex-wives either. The
day WAS observed in the dismal old
building with as happy mingling of
patriotic gratitude and festal board
fellowship as could be found anywhere
in New York
Federal prisoners detained in the
jail, some Of them enemy aliens, joined
heartily in "The .Star-Spangled Ban
ner," and after the dinner the table
badinage was suddenly stilled while
one Of the men in pawn offered q
prayer.
The festivities began with several
songs by Miss Eva Shirley and Miss
Myrta Bel Caller, vaudeville stars;
Star-Spangled Banner" sung by the
ensemble.
While the occasion was one of peace,
condition some Of the diners had not
known for several Thanksgivings, it
was not altogether a solemn one. The
songs of Miss Shirley and Miss Caller
had to do with sunshine, smiles and
bright eyes, but as one alimoner whis-
percd, "Those things exist only in
songs"
Rose Taylor, who for thirty years
has been the chief cook in Ludlow
Street jail, cooked the meal. 1t had
everything oysters, turkey, the PIE
twins, mince and pumpkin; ice cream
and all the little but necessary
things that go with it. And Mrs. "Gene"
Johnson, wife of the warden, person
ally managed the serving of the meals.
There was just one thing missing, for
an adamant, unbending law forbids the
introduction of wine, beer or liquors
into the Jail. Warden johnson tried
to fill this unavoidable void by placing
bottles of dark sauce on the tables
which when they we're turned with the
labels on the offside, gave their con-
tents an appearance not unlike that OF
ST. Julien or St. Estephe.
/ When cigars and cigarettes were
programme. Lack Of diplomacy on the
marred the whole affair, but Mr.. Knott
"feelless" Sheriff of New York County
he is not tactless one. He did no'
begin his remarks with the usual, "l
am glad to see you here to-day" In
stead he said, ~ am glad to be with
you on this day"
For the members, one of their oldest
made an address, which he had care
fully typewritten and which was fillee
with tributes to the Sheriff, the warder
and President Wilson.

Stanton. tho newsboys' leader, who
stated that the managers of "The New

present plight Of his associates. In re-
fusing to grant them larger profit. he
said, and in forcing them to handle
these two papers in the face of the
patriotic resentment Of the public most
OF the boys and old men and women in
the trade simply could not meet the
present high cost of living.
The organization, Walter Brown pre-
siding, adopted this resolutions:
Whereas. The newsboys the Citv

Whit1nan's Counsel
Urges Statewide
Voting Machines
System Used in Some Cities
Would Eliminate the
Trouble, Says Gilbert
- -
=. - - - -

A. S. Gilbert, of counsel for Governor
Whitman, in actions looking to re-
count of the vote for Governor in the
last election, said yesterday that the
existing paper ballot method of voting
is so cumbersome and permits of so
many Irregularities that he is in favor
OF law compelling the general use of
voting machines for the entire state.
"With proper supervision there ought
never to be any trouble with the vot-
ing machines" said Mr.. Gilbert. "a vot-
ing machine is simply a computing
machine applied to voting. Buffalo and
Rochester have used these machines
for about twenty years. and the count
is known half an hour after the polls
voting machines would not be without
them. Voting machines, while costing
great deal of money in the beginning,
pay for themselves in about three
years, because of the vast saving
effected in the printing of ballots and
the manning of the polls.
Here we are in the initial stages
of a contest involving the correctness
of the ballot count in New York and
Bronx counties. With the precincts
equipped with voting machines there
would be notnlng or the KIND. In the
Delehanty- Mcintyre contest the irregu-
larities were palpable. On the recount
Delehanty gained so many votes that
his minority of 800 was changed into
plurality of 800.
During the course Of the Delehanty-
Mcintyre trial l was informed that
William D. Guthrie appeored before
the trial justice on behalf of the Bar
Association and Bar of this city, and
protested the length of that trial had
become a public scandal and was bring
ing the courts into disrepute, but
neither the court nor counsel was re-
sponsible for the delay, and they were
powerless to remedy the situation. The
The fault lay wholly with the court Of
civil procedure, under which it is i'm
possible to bring an action of this kind
to speedy conclusion.
"While voting machines might not
eliminate all perpexities incident to a
general election, believe they would
enable the officials responsible for the
conduct of honest and efficient method
to put our balloting system on a much
better basis than is at present"

with several other policemen in his
train. " -'''
At the clatter of hoofs Molly leaped
nlmoly over the wall near Sixty-ffth
Street and climbed tree. From that
time on Molly's opinion of New York
Fifth Avenue and social ambitions
dwindled rapidly. With crowd of
thousands baying at her heels, with mo-
ttorlsts who blocked traffic to watch the
hunt, honking discordantly and with
blue-clad figures always in close pur-
suit, Molly was driven from tree to
tree.
AS she crossed a park drive she was
hit by an automobile, which rolled
her over and over. Molly snarled and
went on, picking out a tree which
seemed to her to offer sanctuary. 1t
might have proved safe refuge had
Captain Bourke been merely a police
man or merely poet. But he also
was an ex-sailor and he swarmed up
that tree as if a two-fisted mate was
at his heels with a Delaying pi.
Molly's Final Struggle.
He drove Molly to the extreme end
of branch whence there was no safe
descent to any other, even for a nimble
and desperate bear cub. Molly turned
and growled at Captain Burke. And
Captain Burke, determined to uphold
the honor of the force, growled just
as fiercely at Molly. At that moment
no one in the world would have taken
him for poet. He had Molly cornered
and he wasn't going to let her go if
he had to wait till she starved.
For time it looked as though it
might be a starvation match between
Molly and the captain, but q sailor
with a noosed rope Skinned up an ad-
joining tree and passed the loop of the
rope to Bourke on the end Of pole,
Bourke, directing the moose with another
pole, managed to get it over Molly's
head despite her frantic efforts to paw
it off. In another minute a black bear
cub in imminent danger of strangula-
tion was dangling from the limb and
the hunt was over. When they got
Molly back into her cage she rolled up
into ball and went sound asleep.
