The company that is backing Captain
Lipsner in his commercial venture will

In discussing his plans he declined at
this time to say between what points
his passenger and express service will
run or what persons were backing his
concern.
Last night Captain Lipsner sent a
telegram to Senator Lawrence Y. Sher-
man, Of Illinois, asking him to demand
Congressional investigation of the
aerial mail service. lie charges that
the entire service has been "bungled
up" and that the mixture of politics

tainly would take place unless some
other aviator accomplished the trip be-
lore him. sea-going plane to be
used IN making the flight is now being

at is our intention to use large aero
planes for the purpose" Captain Lips
rer said, "but I am not at liberty to an
nounce the type that will be used.
We have gone into the details of the
plan very carefully. We realize that
the demand for aerial transportation
lines will no doubt be very extensive
and our plans are complete in every
way so as to permit rapid expansion. !"

lent In express matter, will be carried
by each plane, Captain Lipsner an

Carlton Made
Co. Defendant:
With Brlrleson'
Western Union President In
volved in Suit Brought by
Commercial Cable Co.
Prompt Action Is Desired
Procedure Taken After Post
master General Fails to
Accept Service in Case

The Commercial Cable Company,
through its counsel. Charles e. Hughes
and William w. Cook, filed amended
papers yesterday in the United States
District Court in New York making
Newcomb Carlton, president of the
Western Union, a co-defendant with
Postmaster General Burleson in the
suit of the Commercial Cable Company
to have set aside Mr. Burleson's seizure
of the submarine cables.
This action was taken following
futile effort on the part Of the United
States marshal to serve a subpoena on
Mr. Bureson in this city for the pur-
pose of bringing the suit within the
jurisdiction of the district court in
New York. Mr.. Carleton was served
with a subpoena at o'clock. He has
twenty days in which to answer, after
which the case may go to trial.
Deegan Explains Action
Following the filing Of the papers.
William J. Deegan, secretary of the
Mackay companies, made the following
explanatory statement:
at will be recalled that the papers
in the original suit by the Commercial
Cable Company against Mr.. Burleson
were filed in the United States District
Court in this city on December 4. The
United States Marshal was unable to
serve Mr.. Burleson in this city. and
the company invited Mr.. Burlesor to
voluntarily accept service SO that the
illegality of his action in seizing these
cables after the armistice was signed
could be threshed out in the courts,
hut Mr.. Burleson did not respond.
Carlton, of the Western Union, as the
us our opportunity to &c the suit
started without having to wait for Mr.
Burleson to accept service, and so Mr.
Carlton has now been joined as party
defendant. The speed with which the
Carlton, but you mays ay that it cam
not proceed any too fast for US
Allegations Made
The amended complaint alleges that
the seizing of the cables constitutes
a violation of the principle of inter-
national law. 1t contains the follow
ing allegations:
'That all of said cable systems, in
Guiding your orators, have landings
on the territories of foreign nations,
and upon information and belief that
the consent of said nations to the
United States government seizing said
system of cables, including said land
ings, has not been obtained, and that
this constitutes violation of the prin-
ciple OF international law that one
nation shall not encroach upon or seize

Taking Ways'' of
Soldier Land Him
Behind Iron Bars
Woman Says ScIf-Styled
War Hero Took Sable
Coat; Another Asks Re-
turn of Diamond Ring

Private Arthur Bodkin will be at
home to-day in the West Side Jail. A
special invitation is extended by the
District Attorney to women who have
missed rings, furs or other trifcs
after being entertained by Private Bod
kin. He was held for the grand jury
yesterday in the West Side police court
charged with the theft of a $400 sable
coat from Mrs. Florence Druding, of
65 West Seventieth Street.
According to the police, Bodkin de-
serted from Camp Merritt in August
and is wanted by the military authori-
ties for other peccadilloes, but he
maintained a jaunty attitude, and when
asked for his address replied: "Oh,
any prominent broadway hotel" He
spoke mysteriously of his family con-
nections" ana of The delights to be
found by soldier men on Broadway,
and cynically of the "easiness" of
womankind.
Wore Wound Stripes
Mrs. Druding, whose husband, an Of
1icer of the 3l4th Machine Gun Bat
TALON, was killed in France last Sep
tember, told Magistrate Ten Eyck that
she first met Bodkin among a group of
soldiers whom she invited to dinner
Thanksgiving Day. She knew him as
sergeant Edward Murphy" of Chi
cago, and complimented him upon his
sergeant's chevrons and his wound
stripes-all of which were decorating
Private Bodkin yesterday.
Several times she said, sergeant
Murphy" called on her, and on Satur-
day asked her to dine with him. He
suggested, she said, that she order some
liquor for him, and when she refused
he produced vial from his pocket,
from which he poured something into
her coffee and, she believed at the time,
into his own. Although "Sergeapt Muir
ply" was not affected, Mrs. Druding
said that the draft rendered her almost
unconscious, and it was not until the
next morning that she discovered her
fur coat was missing.
Actress Pawned Coat
Detectives found the coat in a pawn
shop, and an actress living in West
Fifty-first Street admitted pawning it,
saying that Bodkin had asked her to do
so, explaining that he had bought it for
his girl, but couldn't afford to give it
away. She said Bodkin generally could
be found hanging around Forty second
Street and Eighth Avenue, and there
the detectives found him.
After Bodkin had been lodged in iail
a young woman who said she was Mary
O'Dell, of 13 West Fifty-frst Street,
called to demand the return of dia-
mond ring which she declared he had
taken from her.

Heiress Faces Suit
For $4,000 Asked
On Slander Charge
Miss Alice A. De Lamar,
Beneficiary Under Will of
Father, Accused by Young
Artist; Letters Mentioned

Miss Alice A. De Lamar, who few
days ago became life beneficiary of {
$10,OO0,O00 trust fund, created for her
in the will of her father, Captain
Joseph Raphael De Lamar, capitalist
and mine owner, was sued yesterday
in tho Supreme Court for $4,000 dam
ages by Miss Florence Elliott, 1
painter, who alleges that the heiress
slandercd her.
Several details in connection with
the action make it somewhat myste-
rious. Certain letters are mentioned
in the complaint of Miss Elliott, in
which she says Miss De Lamar accused
her of stealing. These letters consti
tute one of the mysteries of the suit
for Mrs Frances Marion Brandon
counsel for Miss De Lamar, said last
evening that they were "a mere fgment
ct the imagination"
On another point Mrs. Brandon, who
seemed to fear that publiction of the
suit might not be fair to Miss De La
mar, differed with Jacob Hillquit, coun-
sci for Miss Elliott. According to Mr.
Hillquit, the plaintiff and defendant
had been chums for several years
eight or ten, he believed. Mrs. Bran.
don, on the other hand, declared that
Miss De Lamar and Miss Elliott were
not friends.
The alleged slanderous statement
was made on October % at 80 Wall
Street, says Miss Elliot, at which ad-
dress is the office of Mrs Brandon.
II demand that you give me back the
letters and blue portfolio you stole
from my Gramercy Park apartment, is
the statement attributed to Miss De
Lamar in the complaint of the artist.
BY that statement, says Miss Elliot,
the heiress defendant intended to con-
vey the impression that the plaintiff
was guilty of larceny, which was false
and defamatory."
Mr.. Hillquit, who described his client
as young woman of about twenty
called to the office of Mrs. Brandon
and that there Miss De Lamar accused
her of the theft of the letters and
portfolio. Mr.. Hillquit knew nothing
about the mysterious letters.
There is nothing to the whole
thing" said Mrs. Brandon. 'Do you
think that if there was anything back
of it we would allow the papers to be
filed?"
Miss De Lamar, the papers in the
case show, was served at 375 Park Ave
nue., short distance from the apart
ment house at 27O Park Avenue, where
last week, she leased an apartment of
twenty rooms and seven baths at an
annual rental of SIT ,0O0 Besides max
ing his daughter beneficiary of a $10,-
100000 trust fund, Captain De Lamar
left to her his country estate, "Pem-
BROKE" at Glen Cove, l.. /.

Business is poor, discouragingly

Day has brought into being under
meath the greensboro Bridge, on the
west side Of First Avenue, it was
learned yesterday. On Saturday, the
meat department of the market passed
quietly out Of existence.
The fruit and vegetable department
is conducted by Alexander Bovine, of
Flushing. AS DR.. Days request for a
$3O0,OO0 appropriation to establish pub

SER: The plan finally effected, Mr..
BOVINE explained yesterday, was that
some butcher, suing $4,000 cold stor-
age plant installed by the city, should
pay the rent for the whole market
place, leaving the fruit and vegetable
department. rentless. With the passing
of butcher, Mr.. Bovine became the
guest of the city.
With the city through DR.. Dav. nav
ing his rent, Mr.. Bovine was expected
to be able to undersell other dealers
and attract stedy stream of patrons.
But the people don't seem to want
to be helped" Mr.. Bovine said yester

cents, five lunches Of carrots for 10
