NEW YORK. Sept 1.-THE servant

John Y. Hylan. wife OF Mayor Hylan'

housekeeping and is happy in doing
It.
Early in the summer the maid In
the Hylan household was married

only the two in the big house.
Mrs. Hylan knowing that mothers

CLERGYMAN EGGED

Gambling.

STAMFORD. Conn. Sept. I7.-That
the way OF the reformer L. bard. the
Rev. q. II. Richter. pastof OF the
Methodist Protestant Church OF STAN
ford, is ready 10 confess today.
Mr.. Richter. whose home Is In
Darien. Conn. has for some time been
endesyoring TO purge that town and
other communities hereabouts OF
gambling and other evils. His spe-
ciality has been carnivals wherein
wheels are used TO dispose OF candy
and a variety Of goods. He has also
been an active agitator for a stricter
enforcement Of the Volstead act.
His EFFORT TO stop this form OF
gambling at the carnival of the Oar

bers. According TO Mr.. Richter. his
house was twice attacked by men and
boys armed with rotten eggs toma-
tees and other garbage and missiles.

was also "rotten-egged" on the public

Yesterday he applied to John II.

MAKE CANDLESTICKS
OUT OF TOMATO CANS
Turkish Tinsmiths Comb Refuse
Heaps to Secure Humble
American Containers.

SALONICA. Sept. 17.-Nothing is too
inconsiderable for the Turkish ar
tisans of Salonica to utilize in some
ingenious fashion. Thus the despised
American tomato can. the humble tin
jam container, are prizes sought far
and lie by the Moslem tinsmiths,
who fashion this despised fiotsam
and -jetsam OF the trash pile into
candlesticks which sell for a respect
able price in the city's street bazaars.
The tin-can candlestick, an article
apparently peculiar to Salonica, Is
commodity of comparatively recent
conception. It's appearance dates
from the coming OF the American
Red Cross to the Greek port In re-
cent months hundreds Of canned ra-
tions have been distributed by the
American relief workers here to Rus
sian refugees passing through on
their way to political sanctuary In
Serbia. And SO it has happened that
tin cans have found their way in
great numbers to the city trash
heaps.
Every day the Turkish tinsmiths
comb over the refuse, extract the
precious metal containers and bear
them away in triumph to their work.
shops. Later the transformed cans
make their way to the bazaars in the
shape of crude candlestick5, which
find a ready sale among marketing
peasants who carry them off TO light
their humble boards in hundreds of
mountain huts.

MILITARY BILL
 BEFORE SENATE

Wash ington, April 12-The Senate today was prepared to grapple again with the question of universal nili- tary training in resuming considera- ton Of the army reorganization bill
 Pending was the motion of Senator McKelIar, Democrat, Tenn, to strike out provisions for voluntary training of youths from IS to 2S years of age which were substituted last week for the military committees compul- sorry training plan.
 Chairman Wordsworth of the mill tary committee and other advocates of universal training were prepared to combat vigorously the motion of Senator Mcclellan and the lawyer was doubtful whether his motion would prevail.
 Passage of the army bill within a few days was believed probable, al- though elimination of the compulsory training provisions, it was conceded would neceSSitate many changes tn the bill In view of the tabl5ng of the compulsory training plan, Senator wadswurth proposed to insist on an thorizing a regular army of at leaS' S00,01o men and strike out provis- ions which would have reduced the regular force five per cent annually for five years
