around Mrs. Oaklcy's groaning board
Old Man Retribution was waiting round
the corner with a length of lead pipe up
his sleeve, and yesterday he landed on
the landlady for home run.
Swamped under a carload of "please
remts." the hostess of the Maison de
Luxe filed a voluntary petition In bank
ruptcy in the United States District
Court. The total liabilities are $9,719,
and the creditors number ty-four.
Her Effort Hopeless
Mrs. Oakley told the court she had
done her best to brighten the lives of
her boarders with good food, but that
the effort at present prices was hope
less. She presented a meat bill of $4,-
$50, and showed that she owed also S241
for ice cream, 1921 for ice and 1929 for
milk, as we'll as numerous other ac-
counts. all testifying to an honest eff
fort to please. Her assets she placed
at $4,000. representing the value of her
house furnishings
Clerks and stenographers who live in
hall bedrooms and dine nightly off
breast of mutton and apple sauce shed
bitter tears of yearning as they entered
the details upon the official records.
Judge Learned Hand appointed Edward
j. Collins as q receiver, and the Maison
dc Luxe passed into history with SIS
shoes and So hats.

Women Rebufed
By Sweet i'm Plea
For Welfare Bills
Speakers Action Declared
More Fertile of Bolshe-
vistic Propaganda Than
Many Radical Schools

ALBANY, April IA delegation O!
women, all enrolled Republicans, rep
resenting not only Republican women
but women's organizations throughout
the entire state, called upon Speaker
Sweet to-day to plead with him to lei
vote be taken on the minimum wage
and the eight-hour day for women
bills
The Speaker gave the women, who
were headed by Mrs. James Lees Laid
law, of New York, and Mrs. Melvin
Porter, of Buffalo,. scant consideration
During the conference, which at times
was heated, Speaker Sweet charged
that those backing the bills were in
spired by Interior motives. He de-
clined to name the motives.
"Do you mean to say that the State
Federation of Labor, which is also
backing these bills, has ulterior mo-
tives?" demanded Mrs. Laidlaw.
II did not say So" was the best reply
the Speaker would make. At the close
of the conference Mrs. Laidlaw said:
Speaker Sweets action in strangling
the welfare bills last year and in re-
peatlng the same treatment again this
year, as he seems determined to do, is
more fertile Of Bolshevistic propaganda
and of disloyalty toward our govern
ment than thousand radical schools
and soap-box oratory.
The first thing which occurs to one
in contemplating the strange political
phenomenon of the treatment that the
leaders of the Assembly afford the well
fare bills is their political blindness.
their utter disregard for the Republican
party. What spectacle-one ordinary
man, clothed with little brief author
lty, breaking down the whole system of
orderly government and legislative pro-
cedure!"
During the conference Mrs. Porter
told the Speaker that in these days of
industrial unrest it was singular that
the Assembly Labor and Industries
oommlttee never held a meeting at
"hich quorum was present so that
action could be taken on the welfare
bills.
You as Speaker" said Mrs. Porter
to Sweet, "appointed this committee
which. by its very actions, has con-
demned itself. We demand that these
bills be permitted to come out Of the
Rules Committee. We demand that the
elected representatives. of the peon]e
be given chance to say how thev
stand on these measures. The women
voters of the state feel that they have
been misrepresented, and as a Republi-
can l say that Republican women are
being driven out of the party because
OF the corrupt machine control in this
state" 40 VII .
Colonel Theodore Roosevelt and Will
nam Ihorne Simpson, who introduced
the bills in the Assembly, will move
70 discharge the Rules Committee from
consideration of them next week.

Croker Prepared
TOCotoTrial0n on
Insanity Charge
Wife Made $4,000 on One
Deal, He Says, in An.
swer TO Allegations Over
Transferring of Property
From Special Correspondent

WEST PALM BEACH, April t.
Counsel for MIR. and Mrs. Richard
Croker completed their case to-day and
are ready to go to trial on the charge
that the former boss Of Tammany Hall
is insane and that his wife, owing to
this alleged fact, has managed to get
much Of his property away from him.
The absence Of Judge L. B. Donnell, of
the Circuit Court of Palm Beach Coun-
ty, who granted the temporary injunc-
tlon, who is ill at his home, is DELAYING
the hearing. 1t is expected the case
will not be called before Monday.
Mr.. Croker said to-day he transferred d
the Wlgwam and some adjacent prop
erty here to his wife because he wanted
her to have the home in her name. He
also made the same explanation for the
transfer to her of Glencairn, his estate
in ireland.
Il am an old man." said Mr.. Croker,
and felt my wife ought to own the
homes IN which we live. l gave her the
whole Irish estate. l gave her the
horses because | knew she was fond Of
them and would take care of them.
Mr.. Croker said his wife made s5o
600 for him year ago this winter in
one transaction at a time when he was
so sick he could scarcely give attention
to the matter.
"A thing that amuses me-" Mr.
Croker continued, "is the concern nv
children apparently have about what
my wife gets. My wife has earned
since we married, in deals that she
has swung herself, considerably more
than we both have spent. If my wife
was an extravagant woman, forcing
herself into society by lavish enter
tanning that was dissipating my for
;,L4
like making a complaint, but instead
we have no servant, we live very
quietly and happily, and what we have
spent she has earned twice over"
Harold Nathan, attorney for Mrs.
Croker, gave out statement tonight
In which he denied all of the allega-
tions attacking Mrs. Croker's character
lie said in part:
"Richard Croker jr. sets forth in
MS affidavit that he said various
things to his father with respect to
is offered in support of those state
ments, although 1t appears that de-
tectlves have combed the country from
the Atlantic to the Pacific looking for
evidence against Mrs. Croker.
The statements that have been
made that she was a cabaret and
chorus singer, that she appeared at
Churchlll's in cabaret and in the Hip
podrome chorus, are wllfully and ma
liciously false. She never appeared at
Clhurchil!'s and never appeared at the
Hlppodrome. She has been accused of
having a gay time in the summer of
1914, whereas in fact she spent that
summer giving rectals through a series
OF girls and boys camps in the New
England states.
"The sensational charges made
against Mrs. Croker are baseless and
monstrous fabrcations, unsupported
by any competent proof. She will no
longer tamely submit to the spreading
Of such false and defamatory state

Great Oaks from

Lne-saving
Suspender Buckle
Last weeks newspapers told of

when an old man, a storekeeper in
this city, was attacked by three
robbers who shot bullet at him,
which was DETECTED by a good
sized buckle on the suspenders he
wore.
Our old and dear friend George
H. Stuart, merchant, banker, Presi-
dent of the Christian Commission
during the Civil War, and close
friend of Anthony ]. Drexel, whose
father and brothers established the
three leading banking houses of
New York, Philadelphia and Paris,
showed to the writer little Testa-
nents which, carried by soldiers in
their breast pockets, had been part
ly pierced by bullets and thus pre-
vented the loss of life.
Quite recently Mr.. Lewis Twad-
dell, Treasurer of the Pocket Testa-
ment League, showed the writer a
New Testament which was said to
have saved the life of an American
soldier in the recent war, the thick
pages bearing the marks Of lodged
bullet.
1t is painfully apparent since the
war that there is at this time
desperate spirit of recklessness in
destroying human life, in stealing
automobiles and in smashing win
dows for the purpose of robbing,
even at the risk of committing muir
der.
What is the remedy?

Pieces of Authenticated
Historical Interest
The Collection of Chairs


The collection of American Charles the
Second chairs was of particular interest to
Mr. Prouty. The collection contains
twenty-five of these chairs, said to be the
finest in the country. One of them be-
longed to Governor Wentworth of New
Hampshire and is mate to one in the
Metropolitan Museum.
Another noteworthy chair is a maple
roundabout originally owned by Capt.
John Selman of Marblehead, who took it
around the world with him on his ship that
was part of the fleet of the Louisburg Ex-
pedition
Rare Tables
are also an extremely interesting part of
the collection.

OBTAINING MONEY UNDER FALSE PRETENSES - SELLING IMlTA' TON BOOZE

Flagstaf-A person agreeing to sell whiskey for which the buyer paid $21 placed four quart bottles in paper bags in the latter's buggy, asserting that they contained designated brands of good whiskey, while in fact they con tained only colored water. The seller was convicted of obtaining money un- der false pretense and his conviction was affirmed by the supreme court of Arkansas in the case of Hicks vs. State. Counsel for the seller contend ed that because the prosecuting wit ness parted with his money in an ef- fort to get the seller to violate the law, his complaint should not be needed, and that because liquor was contraband and without monetary value, a false representation concern ing it could not be made the basis of prosecution for obtaining something of value through false pretense. AS to the first point, the court said that criminal prosecutions which are brought in the name of the state are not for the benefit of the particular person injured, but to prevent crime and protect the public, and as to the second. it is said that the gist of the offense lay not in the value of the thing misrepresented but in the fraud or deception perpetrated upon an other to his injury.
