LOSES ALIENATION
 SUIT TO NEGRO
Col0red Porter Sues Fur Merchant
 for StO,OOO "Heart Balm"

New York, Feb. 12.-A negro DOT for the alienation of his black wife's acections was revealed yesterday when a judgment for s10,o0o obtained by Samuel A. Miller against Jacob Ben jamin. was returned to Sheriff Knott unsatistied.
 Samue! Miller is the porter in question. He is a Red Cap" at the Grand Central terminal. His wife. before her marriage to him in 1908, was known as Marie Garvey and also as Marie von Eckels and is said to be very light in color. After her hus- band discovered her relations with Banjamin, fur dealer, he sued for divorce and recently was awarded an interlocutory decree by the supreme court here, which gives him the cus- tody of his six year old adopted son. Although the decree was handed down only few days ago Miller pro- duced official records to show that his wife, under the name Of Marie von Eckles, had marriad Benjamin on May 5 of last year.
 Miller's suspicious were first aroused about year ago when he learned of Benjamin's frequent visits to his home at No. 155 West 145th street to see his wife home. At first these were of a business character, the woman being one of Benjamin's s customers.
 When the visits became more ire quent Miller started to watch his wife and collected enough evidence to bring an alienation suit against the fur dealer for S1O,oO0. Benjamin did not appear to defend the suit and it was sent to Sheriff, Knott for assess ment of damages by a sheriff's jury. Benjamin again failed to appear, and the sheriff's jury which had as one of its members Chauncey M. Depew Jr., gave Miller a verdict for $10,Oo0 with costs.
 The judgment for the amount was returned unsatisfied when a search failed to reveal any property belong ing to Benjamin that could be at tached. John William Smith, coun- sel for Miller, is confident, however. that Benjamin is well to do and will continue the search for something tangible to attach.

FAIR PROFITS ID
 ALL'-- '--FLEISHER
Both Capital and Labor Should
 Receive Adequate Reward

In an address both brilliant and f'Ieisher of Boston. to a, good sized and appreciative audience last even- ing at Turner hall. he clearly outlined some of the things that must be done by both employer and cmploye by producer and consumer, by citizen and alien, in order to bring the bless ings of democracy into our lives and into our daily living.
 pr. F'leisher defined democracy as that ganization of society which is based upon the fullest respect for the individual. He paid tribute to Lincoln as the S-itstanding example of true democrat. He called at tention to the present unrest in the world as the natural outcome of the arousing of the people for more of that respect for the individual, and the jealous attempts made by officials to continue the restrictions of war time, thus keeping the individual re- pressed and fettered.
 The need of a more scientific scale of wages, with d fair distribution of profits to both the worker and the in- vestor was frankly and openly stated.
 
 that political democracy is possible only when accompanied by industrial dem ocracy in some form. The strongest emphasis was then given to the idea that democracy de- mands a giving as well as a getting by the individuals who enjoy 1t. The fact that the workers in industry are not now giving a full day of service for 8 full days pay is intended only to defeat the workers desire for bet ter treatment or a larger share ot participation by the individuals em- ployed in industry. Such failure IS even worse than a mistake. It Is stupid and certain to result first, in losing for them one of the finest op- portunities that has even come to them for making good the claims of the workers for confidence and demo- cratic treatment; and secondly, III causing a lack of production which is boosting the high cost of living higher and higher
 The most wholesome advice was offered by the speaker that 1t is the part of wisdom for everyone noW to prepare for the crash and perhaps panic that is ahead of us. He urged that people should stop buying furs, silks. and luXuries. but to spend only for actual needs and save every dol lar beyond that, for it will be needed all too soon from the present pros poets. The present inflated and ar tificial condition cannot continue. The people who have the money now must save it or they will not have 1t when they shall need it much more.

PULLAR
 & NIVEN
BOY OF F RETURNS;
 WAS IN FIVE ARMIES
Joseph Hajjar Back After Five Years in Syria

New York, Feb. 12--Joseph fiajjar, aged 12, native Bostonian, som ewhat shy on New England accent because of a resid ence of more than five years in Syria, the land of his father, now a merchant of the Hub, arrived yes terday in the cabin of the Holland America steamship Nieuw sAmster- dam. He is under the temporary guardianship of Miss Catherine Sedg- wick, a Red Cross worker, of Lincoln, Neb., who will turn him over to- his father today. Joseph looks quite competent to take care of himself. His four years of wandering and the tragedy of his family have not killed his spirit.
 Joseph sailed from Boston in 1914 with his mother, brother and sister to visit his grandfather in the moth CTS old home. A baby sister to Jo- seph was born soon after the mother landed in Syria. The war came into Syria and the mother died as the re- suit Of malnutrition. The elder girl followed her and one day when Jo- seph entered the house of his grand father he found tho old man stran- gling the baby, remarking later that It NdS DtILSI lllcLC o1outu uIC swiftly than slowly starve to death. . The grandfather and Joseph's brother also died and Joseph became a camp follower, going with German, French, Syrian, Turkish and English forces.
 Joseph had one rule for all of the conflicting armies that he cast his lot with and that was:
 Make people like you and you can get along" %.
 ,He said the English treated him best-maybe because he talked better English than anything else, although he had q smattering of many other tongues. He said he had seen -"hig men with mustaches' fall down on the road. but that he kept right on going. He had lost much of his mem .ory of his brief life in Boston, but he was sure that his father kept a store there in Albany street. An American consul in Syria who heard Joseph's story communicated with his father. who sent $500 to pay the boys way to America.
