MRS. J. F. BYRNE SUES
FOR DOVER RIGHTS
Member of Theatrical Fomily
Wants Settlement.

Helene L. Robinson. as she is known
in the theatrical profession, in private
life Mrs. John F. Byrne, brought suit in
the Supreme Court OF New York county
yesterday against Mr.. Byrne and the
Byrne Real Estate Company to enforce
her dover right in her husbands estate.
Mr.. and Mrs Byrne produced some
years ago the play known as Eight
Bells"
Mrs Byrne says in her suit that she
married Byrne March :. 1885. Prior TO
their marriage her husband, with her
consent. collected their Joint funds and
saved and invested them at his own
discretion.
It was understood. she alleges. that
she was TO have a one-half interest In
all OF their investments and her legal
dover right in the remaining half. She
says that In 1909 a property transaction
was made in which the title as taken by
her husband and herself did not prop
erly represent her understood right to a
dover interest in her husbands estate,
and the title to the property was taken
in the name OF the Byrne Real Estate
Company.
Mrs Byrne alleges that she has been
offered property worth $4,000 in place
OF the original dover claim and she now
asks the court to order that she is en-
titled to the dover interest as Id stood
prior 10 the transaction by which the
real estate company acquired its title.

the st. Mihiel salient wiped out. The

At the same moment the two new

yesterday the presses OF the older Sub
'ody Sun began first TO grumble as II

new infant issue OF the classic under

they were unable TO devote as much
imaginative thought to the Subway Sun

to the obvious when II came to preparing

II is called Avoid Change to the

The gist OF the article is worded in
mesty fashion at the conclusion OF the
article. whenever possible avoid chang
ing to the shuttle" The only other
article in the newest Subtoay Sun Is a
fervent plea also to avoid Spanish in
fuenza while avoiding the kindred
shuttle evil. Thus the latest issue of the
underground sheet Is permitted by the
nodding editors to devote all its space
to two self-evident truths.
