Actors Wife Sues
Man She Divorced;
Charges Extortion
Mrs. Ada Lincoln Wants
Former Husband to Re-
turn Property Decided to
Him; Injunction Granted

Mrs. Ada Olive Lincoln. daughter of
Charles f. Proctor (one of the founders
Of the Singer Sewing Machine Com
pany) and wife of Edward X. Lincoln,
motion picture actor, brought suit in
the Supreme Court yesterday to re-
cover from Charles NJ Van Heusen, d
former husband, property which she
says he obtained from her by extor-
tion. Mrs. Lincoln divorced Van
Heusen in 1915 in Kingston. N. Y.
Mrs. Lincoln charges that in 1909
her husband bought with her money
two tracts of land at Otis, Mass, and
another in .912. He also bought two
parcels at Bradford, Mass, in 1910
and 1912, and the couple lived there
for two years. 1t is alleged by Mrs.
Lincoln that she furnished the funds
for the purchase of the property and
that Van Heusen had his name inserted
in the deeds
Mrs. Lincoln said Van Heus. MS &C
tions toward her were so brutal that
in 1914 "the humiliation of associatine
with the defendant became unbear-
able" She Says he pursued openly
course designed to compel her to sue
for divorce" This included his al
legged open and fragrant conduct in AL
bany that led to the divorce, his &C
tlons being known to his associates in
the Van HeusenC Charles Company, to
which, says Mrs. Lincoln, she advanced
many thousands of dollars
Mrs. Lincoln says further that Van
Heusen's conduct included the threat
that unless she signed an agreement
70 pay $1,000 every three months for
tive years he would falsely charge her
in divorce proceedings She agreed 70
pay him $4,000 Subsequently Mr..
Lincoln ceased making payments under
this agreement, because as she saws
she realized she was made the victim
or conspiracy to cXtort money from
her. Thereupon Van HeuSen obtained
an attachment against her property in
massachusetts, and brought suit there
70 recover $4,000. stll due under the
agreement Van Heusen, according to
his former wife, now threatens to pros
ecute this action in Massachusetts, and
IN connection with it give publication
GO the unhappy circumstances of the
plaintitf's married life to HIM"

ing the property claimed by his former
VIE and prosecuting his suit in Hamp
oen County. Mass. This Injunction

Llncoln is tried here.

ttortlon and says that Mrs Lincoln
bought only two parcels of nronartv
which was to be part of countfv o. ~
tate which the couple were going to
establsh. IN which was to be inclnded
property which she gave him. He saws
MRS; Lincoln was woman of great

MANY WAR PLEDGES UNPAID.
Treasurer Report Shows 1924 Due
Wholly or in Part-Letter to Be Sent
to Delinquents.

A meeting OF the general committee
of the Brattlqboro War Chest associa
ton was held in the board of trade
rooms Monday night to consider plans
for closing affairs of the organization.
After thorough discussion of the sit
uation it was decided to make an eff
fort to collect all unpaid pledges before
July | so that a detailed statement of
the association 5 affairs may be given to
subscribers as near that date as pos
sible.
Figures compiled by the treasurer
showed that l,024 pledges remained
partially or wholly unpaid. The chair
man Of the general committee, j. ii. Es-
tey, was authorized to appoint a special
committee to draft a letter to be sent to
delinquent subscribers, who will be
asked to state.their reasons for not hav-
ing fulfilled their pledges. After these
reasons have been considered by the
special committee it will report its rec
ommendatonst the general committee.
Names of persons who through illness or
misfortune have been unable to meet
their pledges or have removed from
town will be dropped from the list of
delinquents which it is planned to in
chIde in the final report to subscribers.
While the war chest has distributed
something over $4,000 since its organi-
zation in March, 1918, the fact that up
TO few weeks ago more than 1000 per-
| sons had failed to meet their obliga-
tons is Il matter of no little concern and
annoyance to the officers of the asso-
! citation. These persons, it is felt, have
| bought immunity from solicitation dur
/ ing the past year or more without pay
ing what they promised to for that i'm
munity. In few cases no doubt there
are circumstances which warrant re-
lease from all further liability, but in
the majorityithcrc appears to be no
good reason why the delinquent sub
scribcrs should not be held to their
! promises. which were accepted in good
faith by those who took them.

Feminine Topics.

onp way Of making the house look cool
." i"'' the summer is the taking down
of all heavy draperies and putting them
away until fall. If You have quantity
of hric-a-brac, photographs, etc, standing
about, put most of them away and see
how much cooler the room hooks; it will
also save the labor of Keeping such
things busted. Slip covers for heavy
upholstered furniture seem cooler and
are not difficult to make at home if
one is any sort of seamstress. Do away
with the things that make unnecessary
work and there are n great many of
them when one begins to look for them.
DO as much of your work in the cool
OF the morning as possible Many of
the dishes for your luncheon and dinner
may be prepared ahead with n little
planning. Cool salads and cold desserts
are always acceptable in hot weather
and simple meals tend toward health in
hot weather through the heated period.
