Negress Charges
Wife of Lawyer
With Alienation
Mrs. Julia King Brings Suit
for $4,000 Against Mrs.
A. L. Mott, Who Employed
Husband as Chauffeur
By BRIGGS

Mrs. Julia King, q negress, is de-
manding $4,000 damages for the loss
of the affections of her negro husband,
Albert King, which, she charges, were
alienated by Mrs. Augusta L. Mott,
who employed King as her chauffeur.
Mrs. Mott, wife Of Manhattan lawyer,
lives on the north shore of Long
Island
The case was called for trial ycstcr-
day before Justice Dugro in the Su-
prcme Court, but was put ovc- be-
cause Grant c. Fox, attorney for Mrs.
Mott, was engaged in another court.
Mrs. King was we'll represented by
lawyers, Abraham Grcenberg being her
attorney of record, and ex-senator
Edgar T. Bracket and Alexander A..
Mayper, former assistant district at
torney, appearing as trial counsel. Mrs.
Mott, who has characterized the allie
cations of Mrs. King as "utter.y alb
surd" and untrue, was not in court.
Mrs. King says that from 1913 to
1916, while her husband was employed
by Mrs. Mott, the latter used endenring
terms in addressing him. The ncgress
quoted from a letter purporting to
have been written by Mrs Mott to
King on September 10, 1918, in which
the term "My dearest good boy" was
used by the writer. One line from the
Letter read, "My heart is with you every
minute Of the time. | must tell YOU
that | am sad and very lonely"

Former Saloon Now
Used by Settlement
As a Health Centre
.'FamiIy Entrance" Leads to
Maternity Centre Offices;
More Barrooms Wanted
for the Same Purpose

The Henry Street Settlement has
solved the problem of what is to be-
come of the corner saloon. Make it a
health centre, they say. And they've
gone ahead and done it, At Amsterdam
Avenue and 126th Street there has been
for many years a fourishing saloon.
But when the proprietor realized that
prohibition had really come he packed
his steamer trunk and set sail for the
wet isle of Madagascar. The settlement
rented the vacant saloon for it's Morn
ingside branch.
Offices have been sublet to the Ma
ternity Centre and Diet Kitchen asso-
Citations. The old family entrance" is
now the entrance to the Offices of the
Maternity Centre Associations
The bar and all fixtures of former
times have been eliminated. The plate
glass windows have been dressed in
yellow sunfast curtains, which draw
back to disclose fern and flower boxes
and wicker chairs. Other furniture in
cludes craftsman tables and chairs, or
which the nurses write reports.
The formal opening will take place at
o'clock tomorrow, when Professor
Winslow, of Yale University, and others
viii speak Mothers of the neighbor
hood have been invited.
"We'd like to see every one of GU,
health centres moved into a saloon,
says Miss Dorothy Caffin, secretary tt
Lillian d. Wald, head of the Henry
Street Settlement nursing service. "a
saloon is always in the most conspicu
Gus place. A health centre ought to b'
just as accessible as the saloon

part of the city from Seventy
Street north to Spuyten Duyvil, be

In addition to the two supervisor
and ten nurses there arc fourteen stu
