Family Left Destitute
Death of Father Leaves Mother
and Children Helpless

The death Of the father from inAu-
enza has left a home in Little Italy"
sad and desolate. For many years Mr.
G. had earned enough money to
keep his family happy and comfort

left over, and what there was was soon
exhausted by medical and funeral bills.

and another soon to arrive Mrs. G.
cannot do anything to provide the
food, clothing and other necessities
for her family. Ten-year-old Philip

a lad cannot do much. The Charity

six months. Contributions sent to the
Office of the society, at 1O5 East Twen-
ty-second Street, Will be promptly ac-
knowlcdged.

Memorial Service.
For Columbia Men
Held in Chapel

Impressive tributes to Columbia Uni
versity men who gave their lives in
the service of their country were paid
yesterday at memorial services held
in St. Pauls Chapel at the university
for Columbia men and members of the
faculty who passed away during the
last year. A service flag, gift of the
alumni, bearing 1870 gold stars was pre-
sented to President Nicholas Murray
Butler, who accepted it for the univer-
sity, but it was explained that the
stars represented only the definitely
verified deaths and that Columbia 5
loss in the war probably would reach
$50.
After the reading of the names OF
the dead Chaplain Raymond C. Knox
OF the university said in part:
I've arc met TO pay our homage and
praise to the sons of Columbia who
gave their lives in the sacrifice for the
winning of world war. Some fell on
the field of honor overseas; some as
with the wings of eagles they strove
for mastery of the air; some as they
performed the rigorous duties of the
training camps. However the sum-
mons came, they met it with a high
and holy readiness. Through their
vasor has the peace of victory been
won. We lift our hearts to them in
pride, in reverence, in hallowed de-
votion. But yet, we cannot be true to
them if we mourn. They finished the
work God gave them to do"
Among the guard of honor which
presented the service flag were Colonel
Marston Bergert, Lieutenant Colonel
Latham Reed and Majors Lorillard
Spencer. John V. Bouvier and J. Angus
tus Bernard
1t was stated at the exercises that
Columbia University had approximate
ly 1000 men in the government war
service. of whom nearly 5000 were in
military branches. OF these latter
about 5000 were alumni.

Youth, Twenty-one,
Admits He Married
3 Women in 3 Years
Wife No. l Calls OIL Wife
No. 2, Then Both Call on
Police, Who Arrest Erring
Spouse and No. 3 Appears

A blue-eyed youth of twenty one
Street, stood calmly before Magistrate
Francis X. Mancusco in the Morri-
SANTA Police Court yesterday morning
and admitted that ne was bigamist
with three wives, each of whom he had
married within about a year of the
other, and two of whom had children
of about the same age.
The three Mrs. Sonnenbergs, it came
out later, had been living in various
parts of New York City, each entirely
unaware of the existence of the others
until Saturday. On that day the trip
licate marital adventure of the hus-
band .became@known and resulted at
once in his arrest. He pleaded guilty
held in $1,000 bail to await action of
the grand jury.
Mrs. Blanche Sonnenberg, Wife No
2, girl nineteen years old, told the
story of her supposed husbands appre-
hension yesterday at her home, 906
East 173d Street. For some time she
had not been living with her husband,
she said, and he failed entirely to pro-
vide for their thirteen months old
child, Janet. On Saturday afternoon
an excited little woman, who also has
small daughter, burst into the house
and announced that she was Mrs. AL
bert Sonnenberg, too, whereupon De-
tectives Michael Hegney and Herman
Myers were summoned, and shortly
arrested the husband.
Wife No. 3, who is Mrs. Helen Col
dn Sonnenberg, had learned of the ex-
istence of Wife No. l, Mrs. Anna Tom
back Sonnenberg as we'll, but failed to
locate her.
According to the second wife, Son
nenberg was forced into marrying the
third woman. This woman now sup
ports the child of that union alone on
salary of $12 week.
"Sonnenberg surely looked surprised
to see her when she appeared in court, y
said wife No. 2. "He used to come 70
see me and the baby, though he never
provided for us, but he thought he was
rid of. the third wife"
None Of the women could understand
how it was possible for Sonnenberg to
contract so many marriages in appar.
emily legal fashion, wife No. treasur-
ing marriage certificate which seems
to be genuine.
When the case comes up for tria,
all three wives expect to be on hand
The last two are now acting in concert
for redress of their grievances, and the
first wife will be brought into the ac.
tion as we'll.

More Tests Ordered
For ''Liberty Fuel
Invention Not To Be Put On
Market Until DISCOVERIES
Leave Armv Service

@'S "a AAA AJCA VACC
WASHINGTON, Jan. IL. = Liberty
fuel will not be placed on the market
for commercial purposes until its dis
coverers, Major o. B. Zimmerman and
Captain Charles Weisgerber, have been
mustered out of the army, Secretary
of War Baker indicated to-day. The
Secretary said that the new fuel is
being subjected to further tests by
army officials, with view to establish
ing positively the uses to which the
fluid may be put.
Until these tests are completed. Sec
retary Baker said, Major Zimmerman
and Captain Weisgerber have been di.
rected to refrain from making public
any statement with reference to the
possibilities of the new fuel. Mr.. Baker
sald that inventions and discoveries OF
army officials We're at the disposal of the
government as long as the officers were
in the service. Upon their return to
civil life, however, the officers are priv
ileged to retain all civil rights in any
special process of manufacture they
may have.
More than month ago Major Zm-
norman and Captain Weisgerber made
the first announcement of the discovery
Of Liberty fuel. At that time the Of
ficers described numerous tests made
with the fuel and declared it was
cheaper to produce, was more powerful
than other fuels for driving motor vehi-
cles and that plans were being consid-
cred for placing the fuel on the COM
mercial market.

Twice Defeated Mills Meas
ure to Have Strong Sup.
port i'll Next Assembly
TO Provide Maternity Aid
New York Federation Forces
to Draft Programme at
Albany Meeting Thursday

otoT Correspondence
ALBANY, Jan. 12.--Labor will bep;n
lts annual erive on the capital on
Thursday, when leaders from all parts
OF the state will assemble here under
the auspices of the State Federation
OF Labor. The subject of discussion
will be lahor's legislative programme
which is moro pretentous this wear
than ever before.
AT the head Of its demands is the
health insurance bill, introduced for
the first time in 1917 by Senator Ogden
Mills, now major with the American
eXpedltionary force. And when intro
duced again at the last session bv
Mayor Mills's successor, Senator Court
landt Nicoll, it met the same fate as
IN 1917--it was killed IN committee.
This year, although it has been
recommended by the Governor in his
annual message to the Legislature. the
Dill will meet with tremendous opposi-
tion chiefly because it is regarded as an
unknown quantity in American life. A
similar measure was defeated bv a
popular vite when it was submitted to
a referendum in California last fall.
Had Johnson's Support
Its defeat on the Pacific Coast was
rendered all the more emphatic because
1t was strenuously supported by Gov
ernor Hiram johnson, and had for ad-
dltional backing favorable report sub
mltted on the question by the State
Legislature.
Nine other states have given the
question consideration, three of them,
ohrough legislative committees, re-
porting favorably. These were Penn
sylvanla, New Jersey and Massachu-
setts. In the last named state, how
ever, later legislative committee re-
ported adversely on the proposal No
where in this country has it yet OBJ
tanned a foothold.
Although its sponsors in conversa-
tlon admit they do not expect New
York to enact a health insurance law
Mt this session, they arc determined to
fight on for it, The majority of the
legislators are against it. Some op-
pose it on the ground that all matters
OF an experimental nature calling for
large appropriations should be left
until after the period of reconstruc-
tion.
Tried in Several Countries
Others are against it because they
regard it as ultra paternalistic and a
product bearing the stamp: "Made in
Germany"
This last argument is answered by
friends of health insurance by calling
attention to the fact that since it's
origin iii Germany thirty-fivc years ago
It has been in operation in several
European states, notably England, Nor
way, Sweden and Holland
The proposed bill provides for ma
ternity insurance to cover a period OF
not less than eight weeks, of which at
least six weeks must be after confne-
ment. This is to prevent mothers en-
ployed in industries from. returning to
work before they are actually fit.
The other minimum benefits of the
contemplated legislation call for medi-
cal. surgical and nursing attendance
and treatment for the insured worker
and for dependent members of his
family; hospital or sanatorium treat
ment and dental service for self and
