Husband Cruel to Her
On Holidays, SAYS Wife

Most Of the acts Of cruelty alleged
by Mrs. Grace Strong Hughes In her
suit for separation in the Supreme
Court against Frank L. Hughes. she
said. were committed on legal HOLIDAYS
Mr.. Hughes is United States manager
for Tootal- -Broadhurst-Lee Company
Ltd, manufacturers Of cotton goods
which job, his wife says, pays him s24,-
600 year. Besides this income. Mrs
Hughes said, her husband has prom
erty in this country and England. The
couple were married In 1908 in Cleve-
land, Ohio.
The first act of cruelty charced
against Mr. Hughes took place on Jan
uary 2, 1915, while they were living at
New Brighton, Staten Island, she de-
clared '''' VIC
Another instance was on New Years
Day. 1917, Mrs. Hughes said ua

the fact that DR.. Day appointed Deputy
Commissioner Smith to handle the
funds Of the navy food sale two weeks
after the alleged proposition was sup
posed to have been conveyed by Deputy
Commissioner Smith, and If Mr.. Smith
made the proposition, as stated by DR..
Day, certainly his appointment by DR..
Day to handle the navy funds would
have been absolutely improper.
Approaching that the sale Of the
army food was made possible in New
York only by your cooperation, the sur
plus realized from the sale of such
foodstuffs can inure to the benefit of
The people of New York through your
cooperation in appointing the commit
tee that | have suggested above"
Planned to Restrain Day
In his letter to Secretary Baker Mr..
O'Malley had announced that he was
going to get out a restraining injunc-
ton preventing DR.. Day from touch
ing the money. He also made the
suggestion that the money be used for
the creation of trust fund for chari-
table institutions of the city.
Mr. O'Malley is resident of Hollis,
Queens. He is comparatively new to
politics, having entered the political

of the organizers of the Business
Mems League. This league sponsored
Preston P. Lynn for Mayor, but finally
swung over to Mayor Hylan when Mr..
Lynn withdrew. The new commission

received his early education at Pub
lie School 2, on Henry Street, COM
pleting his education in the high
schools of San Francisco after his
family had moved West. He came
back to New York more than twenty
years ago and obtained a position with
cotton and silk firm. He began as
errand boy and was sales manager
when appointed to the post Of Deputy
Commissioner of Public Markets by
DR.. Day.
DR.. Day yesterday notified Navy De-
partment officials to discontinue the
delivery of surplus supplies for sale
by the city. This sale has been going
on at twelve depotz and has averaged
100000 day. Mr.. O'Malley announced
that he would Immediately take steps
to continue the flow Of supplies into
the sales depots. The accounts on the
navy sale are held jointly by DR.. Day
and Mr.. Smith and are expected to be
transferred soon.
1t was learned last night that DR..
Day plans to go to the United States
District Attorney with charges of
profiteering against Mr.. OMalley and
Mr.. Smith. He will allege that prices
asked OF the public for army food were
excessive, in view of the cost to the
city.
Commissioner Hirshfeld would not
comment on the Mayors order for an
investigation. He would have some
thing to say to-day, perhaps, he said.

Exoneration for Deputies
The Mayors appointment of Mr.
O'Malley is locked upon as exoneration

believed that the latter will be. re-

yesterday that under some old statute

Smith could be made second or third

Court If Appeals Decision
in Education Case Ends
Grip of Selfish Interests
on Funds, He Declares

As the result Of a decision handed
down at Albany Monday. upholding the
right Of the Commissioner of Ac-
counts 10 examine the account books of
the Board of Education, Commissioner
Hirshfeld announced yesterday that
examination asked by Mayor Hylan
last March would begin as soon as ac-
countants could be secured.
Last March Commissioner Hirshfeld
subpenad Henry R. NJ. Cook, auditor
Of the board, to testify in an exami-
nation eof the boards accounts. Act
ing under the advice of William l..
Ettinger. Superintendent of Public
Schools, Mr. Cook refused to obey the
subpoena. on the ground that the city
had no legal right to demand an ex-
animation. In the Supreme Court
Justice Hotchkiss granted an applica-
tion for warrant to compel Mr.. Cook
to testify. The Appellate Division re-
versed the decision. On Monday the
Court of Appeals reversed the Appel
late Division.
Superintedent Ettnger last night
took exception to statement by
Mayor Hylan on the decision and
said he was glad the courts had finally
decided whether the Board of Educa-
ton was under single or dual sup
srvision as to its finances.
Memory Lapse"
Mayor Hylan seems to have had a
memory lapse.'" said Mr.. Ettinger
"He says that report Of an exami-
nation during the administration of
Mayor Mitchell showed that / had IN
ore year received royalties amounting
10 more than $4,000 from the sale Of
my books to the Department of Educa-
ton, and that at that time l had been
elected Superintendent of Schools.
was elected during Mayor Hylan's ad-
ministration. | have received no such
sum in royalties on books"
"All | want to find out is how the
money Of the taxpayers was and is
being expended by those in the de-
partment ntrusted with that function" !"
said Hirshtield The people are to be
congratulated on their victory in this
matter This decision breaks the grip
which the secret system in the inner
clse.cs OF the department, backed by
the various so-called reform associa-
tions and selfish interests. had on the
city schools and the city funds.
Waste, Says Hirshfield
Now for the first time we will have
a thorough. fair and impartial investi-
cation OF the expenditure of the mil
lions upon millions appropriated an
nually by the city for educational pur-
poses"
According TO Mr.. Hishfeld, there has
been much waste in educational funds,
particularly in the supply department.
He declared that the investigation made
by Paul H. Hanus and eleven experts
at q cost of S92 900 bore out this view.
y regard this as the most important
thing that have been able to accom-
plsh for the taxpayers of New York
City" said Mayor Hylan. Nothing

Eetter Shopping 5rrOtcr

There isn't anything we can think of
that the Letter Shopping Service cannot
do for our out-of-town friends. If you
want to recover the old arm chair for
mother and you re not quite sure how and
with what to do it write the Letter Shop
ping Service. If you re planning your late
winter wardrobe-if it's only one gown
you're trying to fix in your minds eye
if it's a matter of general overhauling of
the interior Of your home-whatever it is
that personal visit to the store and con-
sultation with experts would determine for
you, and you cannot make that visit,
write to the Letter Shopping Service.
It's an all-year-' round service too. Try
it for bit of your Christmas shop
ping. See what it can do for you. See
how individual, how personal is the atten-
ton you receive, and then you'll want to
employ the Letter Shopping Service az a
court of first and last resort when you are
in doubt about how to make the most of
sum of money-be it little or much--for
given purpose.
If you are coming into New York for
day or two of shopping, make your head
quarters in the Reception Room of the Let
ter Shopping Service. Make appointments
with friends to meet you there Leave
messages for them. We will do everything
in our power to make that day or two of
shopping as fruitful and as easy for YOU
as is humanity possible.
