the needed touch of finish to the en-.
tire scheme. In thus beautifying the
home of the post office, federal Off
cials, Red Cross and Council of De-
fense, the government has spent over
$500. The place promises to be one
of the most beautiful spots in Chick
asha, but for one drawback. Said
drawback is, that there are number
OF very unpatriotic animals in Chick
asha Of the canine variety.
Anybody will concede that dog
is all right in a dogs place, but this
band of night providers are the limit.
A crew of landscape gardeners have
been working every day getting the
place all tidied up. Then at night,
along come these dogs and dig up
the flowers and shrubs, leaving huge
holes in the once smooth flower beds
as glaring testimony of their nightly
activities. 1t is quite enough to peeve
anyone to go out in the morning and
find a nice flower bed and contents
scattered around over the premises.

Col. Barefoot has in his mind a

by the suffs at Washington. This
would be highly effective, although

ST, ,659 Too High for Grief
Retrial of Widows Suit
Against Undertaken Ordered

If the urn which William Necker,
Inc, undertakers, delivered to Mrs.
Rosalie Stahl really contains the ashes
OF her husband, Carl M. Stahl, then the
widow is not entitled to recover dam
ages for her mental anguish due to a
wrong date of death engraved upon the
urn. Therefore, the Appellate Division
yesterday reversed verdict for 81 $50
which Mrs. Stahl recovered against the
corporation.
Mr.. Stahl died May s, 1915. His
widow arranged with Necker for the
cremation of his body at Union Hill.
The urn with the ashes bore the date
April 81, 1915. There is no such date
on the calendar. Besides, any date in
April would have been before the death
of Mr.. Stahl. Mrs. Stahl brought suit
against Necker. The trial court in
structed the jury that Mrs. Stahl might
recover damages because of the wrong
Date even if the jury decided she re-
celVed the right ashes. In reversing
the Judgment and ordering a new trial
the Appellate Division declIAd that the
court erred in his charge.

Appellate Division Upholds
Verdict in Favor of
Joseph H. Cohen
Conspiracy Is Charged
South American Exploration
Pictures Used as Lure to
Attract Young Heir

Under a decision rendered yesterday
by the Appellate Division Martin c.
Wright, son of William j. Wright, q
former Tammany leader and Deputy
Commissioner Of Charities. must pay
judgment for s15,40o obtained against
him by Joseph H. Cohen. The transac-
tion which resulted in the suit and
judgment was characterized by the
court as "a very common, deliberate
swindle."
A few months after the death Of
George H. Huber, veteran dime museum
owner and real estate operator, his
young widow, who inherited most of his
estate, married Martin c. Wright.
Charges Conspiracy
1t was alleged by Cohen that Wright
conspired with Charles B. Toole,
broker, and J. B. G. Rinehart. lawyer,
to defraud him out of $4,000 in the
sale of stock of the Globe Cooperative
Film Company. He sued to recover
that amount. Judgment was rendered
against the three defendants, but Rine-
hart did not join in the appeal from
the verdict. In the case of oole, the
Appellate Division ordered new trial
on the ground that the trial justice
failed to instruct the jury that certain
testimony against Wright should nor
be considered as against Toole.
Cohen, who then was twenty-four
years old, inherited $4,000 from his
grandfather He was introduced to
Toole after being induced to believe he
could increase his fortune by speculat-
ing in cotton futures. Wright, who was
employed by Toole, interested the mex
perienced young man in the possibili-
ties of the moving picture stock.
Induced to Buy Stock
Wright told him the company con-
trolled a South American exploration
film which would prove as valuable as
the African hunt pictures of Paul j.
Rainey, which Wright said had earned
100000 Wright also represented
that he had invested in the stock for
his mother and was using all his spare
ca. in buying the film shares.
Rinehart was represented as
director of the company, and, according
to Wright, had authorized him to sell
few $40 shares for Sc share. There
was a private exhibition of the MIN,
which so impressed Cohen that he con-
sented to buy the stock, which he testi-
fed Toole had told him would advance
to s13 share on the curb, where it was
to be listed
A few DAYS after Cohen had parted
with his money Wight disappeared
from Toole's Office, and the plaintiff, be-
coming suspicious, started an investi-
cation. He learned that the film COM
pany never controlled nor had an op-
ton on the picture he had seen.

One of the means by which chronic

Levy produced one of the cards used
by government officials to identify

that in proceeding to Governors Island
he could pass the zone guards. The
card was obtained by Levy three weeks
ago. but he had worked only one week
and had since used the card to avoid
arrest.
