Negro Minister'S Pistol
Routs 2 Men With Razors

The Rev. Mr.. w. Spencer CARPENTER.
negro preacher, has suspected that
some one had a grudge against him
ever since one night last November,
when brick was thrown at him as he
opened his front door in response to
the bell. So last night he was more
grieved than surprised when two big
negroes fourishing razors started for
him while he was making sure that
the rear windows of his church. at
311 Bridge Street, Brooklyn, were
locked.
AS the minister was wearing a rain
coat, it was several seconds before he
could reach his revolver, which he car
ries in his hip pocket. The razor men
facilitated matters by shredding the
raincoat, and then the preacher unlim-
bered his artillery and his assailants
took to their heels. AS they ran down
Bridge Street toward Fulton Street the
clergyman fired three shots. Neither
of the fugitives stopped, however, end
both were lost to sight by the time a
policeman appeared.
Several of Mr.. Carpenters wounds
went deeper than his raincoat, and he
required the attention of an ambulance
surgeon before he could return to his
home, at 1872 Duffield Street. He attrib-
uted the attack to rancor caused by
his sermons against craps shooting.

Won Parole for Husband.
Again Charges Bigamy
Jamaica Woman. Third Mrs.
Slater, Sues for Annul-
ment of Marriage

Mrs. Lillian Bischof Slater, on whose
complaint her husband, Matthew A..
Slater, was sentenced to Sing Sing for
bigamy and who later relented and
obtained his parole so that he might
return to her, is now starting action
tor annulment of her marriage, charg-
ing again that her spouse is bigamist.
Her attorney, Louis Greenspan, of
Jamaica, Queens, in his complaint al
leges that Slater was married to Anna
Rose and then to Agnes Sundquist. He
says that the first Mrs. Slater received
divorce, after second wife appeared
by the terms Of which Slater was not
to marry again for five years AS the
outcome of these adventures the man
served term in Elmira Reformatory,
it is alleged.
On his release, the complaint con-
tlnues, he obtained employment with
Albert H. Bischof, a druggist on Fulton
Street, Jamaica, and wooed and won his
daughter, marrying her October 8, 1917.
When the girl learned she was the
third Mrs. Slater, it is said, she caused
his arrest. He was sent up for four
years and six months, but wrote from
Sing Sing so many loving letters the
latest Mrs. Slater's heart was moved.
Through the agency of the attorney
who is now bringing her action for
annulment she obtained his release
from prison.
The Skaters have one child. a son.
Vernon, who has been adopted by Mr..
and Mrs. Bischof.

Guardian Eager to Get
Rid of Wilkins Monkey

Edward D. Pitske, nephew of Mrs.
Walter X Ksene Wilkins, whose husband
victed Of her murder started a contest
Of his aunt's will yesterday in
Mineola, L. L., which Mrs Mary Hoff-
man, Of Lynbrook, for one, hopes will
be decided soon. Mrs. Hoffman is anxi-
Gus to have the estate split up as soon
as possible. particularly Mrs. wilkins s
monkey. which was left in her care.
She and the monkey are not at all
congenial, she said, and she couldn't
find any of her neighbors that needed
a monkey: Surrogate Howell said that
he couldn't help her.
Under the will of Mrs. Wilkins Mr..
Pitske and his sister received some
lots in Harrison, N. j. He is contest
ing the will on the ground that it was
signed in 1903, when the testatrix had
received an interlocutory decree of
divorce and, therefore, was single
woman. AS single woman her entire
estate would go to Pitske and his
sister.

Handley Page Arrives
On First Visit to u. S.
Tells of Commercial Exploits of
His Airplanes Before He De-
parts for WASHINGTON

Handley Page, designer of the huge
British bombing biplanes that worked
havoc back of the German lines, ar
rived on the Mauretania yesterday for
his first trip to America. The Handley
Page Company has been expanding in
Europe, and was recently Incorporated
in New York. Eight hours after his
arrival Mr.. Page departed for Wash
ington.
The only subject he would talk upon
was on the performance of his air
planes in Europe. He said that during
the period from May l, 1919, to Feb
ruary 49,. 1920, Handley Page airplanes
had carried 4.154 passengers and 49,
e06 pounds Of freight. In doing this
they covered 78.473 miles.
From September 2, 1919, to Febru-
ary IS, 1920, the London Paris and
London Brussels services carried $50
passengers and 45,21S pounds Of
freight" he said. The distance covered
was 69,023 miles.
Our Cricklewood aerodrome in Lon
don has been organized under the terms
Of the International Air Navigation
Convention, and has been equipped for
night flying. Every aid to aerial nav1-
cation throughout the twenty-four
hours has been installed there. All our
services to every part of the world
start from Cricklewood."

Fourth Degree OATH
Denounced by Flaherty

James A. Flaherty, supreme knight of
the knights of Columbus, announced
yesterday that spurious Fourth de-
gree. oath" falsely alleged to be part
of the ritual Of the organization, was
being circulated by the enemies of the
Knights. He said the Knights would
prosecute any one found disseminating
he sander. adding that such prosecu-
tons had been conducted in the past
successfully.
The fourth degree OATH" purporting
to pledge those subscribing to it to the
murder of non-Catholics, has been cir
culated at intervals for years, gem
orally on the eve of Presidential
election, according to Mr.. Flaherty.
"The Knights of Columbus" he said.
"is not an oath-bound organization
and, as far as secrecy is concerned, we
have more than once submitted the in
ternal workings of the order, even to
the details Of degree work, for ex-
animation by Catholics, even min
listers Of Protestant denominations,
who have found US to be simply pa
triotic organization striving to do good

that the board had given long and
careful consideration to tho general
proposition, and that it had come to the
conclusion that no direct arrangement
should be made by the board with the
German line, but that it is desirable
and in the interest Of our trade and
an American merchant marine that an
American company or companies should
make an arrangement by which this
business could be obtained and done
under the American flag, and that the
board deems it desirable to cooperate
in the accomplishment Of this object by

'Title XI," he said, referred to a set
of rules laid down by Congress for the

Support That
Does Not Bind

BY simply lacing Cantilever Shoe
you draw up the flexible shank Of
the shoe, which holds the small
benes of the arch in their proper po-
sition. With this support, the arch

no possibility of the arch falling"
On the contrary, fallen arches are
corrected by Cantilever Shoes.
At the same time, there is no bind

leaves the muscles free. They ex-
ercise with the motion of walking.
This exercise strengthens the mus

Special Cable to The Tribune
Copyright. 1890. New York Tribune 1nc.)
BERLIN, March 12.-After few
days, reflection on Hindenburg's pro
posed candidacy for President. the
country appears to be wholly unmoved
by 1T. The whole affair is interpreted
everywhere as clumsy maneuver of
the two so-called Nationalist parties to
utilize Hlndenburg's military reputa-
ton for political purposes. Their at
tempt TO represent him as a non-parti-
san candidate failed to deceive any
body, since his candidacy was an
nounced in all the Nationalist ORGANS
simultaneously and in similar terms.
The attempt to palm off Hindenburg
as non-partlsan recalls the incident
OF the organization of the Fatherland
party in 1917 under the auspices of
Admiral Won Tirpitz and other conser-
vatlve leaders, who also tried to sail
under the non-partisan colors while
aiming to inspire the country with the
determination to fight to finish and
demand big lndemnities and annexa-
tions.
The present move is even more
transparent than the one of 1917 and
Will attract even less support outside
OF the Junker-big manufacturer classes.
mus TAR not single newspaper has
declared for Hindenburg which is not
already committed to the German Ma
tlonal and German Peoples party, as
tb. two conservative organizations are
called.
Outside of these parties Hinden-
burg's candidacy awakens regret, be-
cause it is felt that Hndenburg is sac
rlticing his position in which all the
German people respect him to become
the catspaw of ryptomonarchists.
1t is pointed out that during the war
Hindenburg was completely under the
political tutelage of General Luden
dorff and it is, therefore, suspected
that Ludendorff is still handling the
strings behind the scenes. Hindenburg
is declared monarchist and that
strengthens his position with the ma
tlonallst parties, yet their press is al
ready trying to gloss over the monar-
chist creeds as insignificant and to
represent Hindenburg as safely repub-
lican.
Nevertheless wholly different views
hnd expression privately among Hin
denburg's followers. Great captains of
industry have grown SO optimistic that
they assert that the monarchy NAV be
restored within half year. Outside
OF those classes, however, the candi-
dacy is not taken seriously

Sof Smith Russell, greatest delinea- tor of character roles since the stage came into it's own in this country, left a mantle which many have as pired to wear, but which seems to have fallen on the shoulders of the gifted Charles Ray
 This youngster seems to have caught the subtle humor that made classics of the Russell characteriZations In the part of the country boy, Ray has no equal on stage or screen. He is in q class by himself. In his newest pie ture, Alarm Clock Andy" he scores one of the signal triumphs of his screen career.
 He is cast as a country auto sales man. who is afflicted with a propen- Sity to stutter and q Sashfulness that makes him the butt of ridicule in the auto saIesroom. But Andy only needed a jolt to bring out in him the real man. and he got it one day when he met the one girl he thought he could learn to love. He had to do a lot of things be- fore he could hope to get her, but he made Babe Ruths batting average look like a beginners when he started out to make good.
 He corrected his stuttering, he over came his bashfulness, he woke up and sold the hardest customer iT the coun- try. and incidentally he won the girl and made the office force change his title from Andy to MT. Gray. Some boy and some picture.
