OSSIFIED MAN is
BUNCOED OUT OF $50
Carfed to Court in Truck,
Freak Drops Charge.

For the first time in many years
Coney Islands ossihed man was shaken
with emotion yesterday when he discov-
cred that he had been buncoed out OF
$50 On his high perch in one of the
big freak tents he had eyed every visitor
for days. expecting to see a certain we'll
known automobile manufacturer enter at
any time, for some one had told him
that Henry Ford was going to give him
a car for a present. and on the strength
of this information had borrowed the
$50.
But yesterday the ossified man. whose
name is Frank Warden, gave up hope
of getting the Ford and decided to try
and get back the fifty. The business
of getting him to tho City Magistrates
court presented grave problems, but a
truck finally was obtained and he was
driven to that place. Magistrate O'Neill,
on being informed that he was below.

Government charges rates which the

cent. OF the amount received, so tna'
both shippers and boat owners are dis

ALIMONY CLUB NOW

Six Months Limit to Win I'm
nunity Is Abrogated.

An atmosphere of gloom settled down
over the Alimony Club in the Ludlow
street jail last night, for an amendment
TO the Code of Civil Procedure went into
effect at midnight, which makes mem
bership in that organization for six
months no longer bar to payments to
a former wife. Instead. a lifetime in
Jail now looms up before recalcitrant ex-
husbands who decline to comply with
court orders relating to the payment OF
alimony.
Under the old law, when a man re-
fused TO pay alimony he was sent TO the
Ludlow or Raymond street Jail for six
months. At the end of that time he was
free and his one time wife could not
punish him further. Under the amend
ment to the law, which was fathered by
Max Herzfeld. Democratic candidate for
Municipal Court Judgeship in Brook
lyn, the time spent in Jail is not a bar to
subsequent punishment for contempt OF
court for failure to continue payments
and the alimony dodger may be sen,
