SAN FRANCISCO.-Lillian Ger

stories.
In her old Virginia home not man,

In those days she was particular,
thrilled by the yarn of the prince
disguised as beggar who wooed ant
won the signing princess and lived
happily ever after
Lillian never suspected that often

to San Francisco to find that out
The establishment of Lillian Ger.
aldine is now on record in the Su-
perior Court in the form of an an
nulment suit.
While waiting for said annulment
of the marriage that smashed all her
ideas of romance she casts a dubious
eye at dashing males. She has dis
covered that many cruel heart beats
beneath a polo coat.
A few fortnights ago, when Sum
mer was at its best, Lillian came to
this city. Her heart was free as a
birds. Whatever is in the air of a
San Francisco June got into her
blood on night when handsome
stranger caught her eye in a SOFTLY
lit cafe. She smiled, he grinned. It
was then that the guardian angel
that protects romantic Southern
girls in strange city went straight
away from there. .,r ..,.. Il. .,.,,s......
They met-they still meet that way
he invited her to dinner. She then
learned his name-James Robert Van
D'Loye. To Lillian this name sounded
like a poem.
Robert was an expert "kidder"-
wooer that is. She was timid. He
shooed her fears away. Was not his
father multimillionaire in New
York, one of the famous Knicker-
booker families?
She believed him and they were
married. Her dreams had come true.
Her letters home glOwed.
At first It was lovely-just like
walking on velvet-it always is. Then
the clouds began to gather. He
seemed to count his dollars, also his
dimes and nickles. She peered at fur
coats in the beautiful store windows
downtown, still she wore her last
years little old wrap.
He kept busy, away most Of the
day on business" His business was
hard on the heels of his shoes, she
noticed. So Lillian Geraldine Van d.
Loye continued to notice and wonder,
until one day she went through his
pockets and found a small, thumb
marked card. 1t read:
II Am Deaf and Dumb.
Aims, for PHYS Sake, Aims
That's where LilIian's romance
broke into small bits. Her dashing
prince-husband was beggar, and q |
professional at the game.
She fled from him like a scared |
rabbit to hotel. Her beggar prince
her there, climbed fire es-
capes even, to persuade her; but Lii
lian's romance was of for good. She
saw an attorney. He told her in the
most unromantic manner all the rest
she wanted to know about her prince.
His real name was J. Leslie Shell
don and his business was that OF
pretending to be deaf and dumb and
deserving, SO that kind-hearted per-
sons would give him few cents

Knowledue Not ENOUGH.

Those who, In the confidence of sur

POLICE DIRECT
 PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC

The first test by the Traffic Depart ment to educate the people of Bridge port in being careful in crossing the streets was given trial at the corner of Main street and Fairfield avenue last night and was a decided success according to Captain James Walker of the Traffic division of the Police de- partment.
 Four members of the department were stationed at the busy corner during the 5 o'clock rush hour and directed the pedestrian traffic in the same manner as the vehicular traffic is handled. The police claim that in this manner the people will be edu- cated as to the necessity of care in crossing at the busy corner and oth CT places in the city and it will be a good preventative against accidents.
 One elderly woman was much peev- ed when stopped by an officer from crossing before he gave the signal last night and wanted to know if the Po- lice department was going to show her how to eat her meals

Two general orders, the first in regard to the dress of patrolmen when they appear in City court and the other in regard to inspection of the Precinct stations by, the officer in charge were issued today by Sur perintendent of Police Flanagan.
 The two orders follow:
 Hereafter, members of this depart ment, having cases in the City Court are privileged to appear in civilian attire when off duty.''
 This permission is granted with the distinct understanding that our men will present g neat appearance. When called on the witness stand to pinned on the outside of your coat stating to the prosecutor that you are Patrolman Cor ranking officer as the case may be) so and so from"Pre- cinct so and so.''
 The other order which has to do with the inspection of the precinct area by the officer in charge follows:
 "Leutenants of this department doing desk duty at the different pre- cincts are hereby ordered to make daily inspections of the precinct in which they are working. It is to be understood that there is no specific time set for this inspection, the Lieu tenants to set their own time as to the tour of their precinct"
 In issuing these two orders Super intendent Flanagan said the first was done in order to save the men from the inconvenience of changing their clothing for the brief spell that they are in the court and that the wearing of the badge on the outside of their civilian attire would suffice. The eff ci rsf ic Ad be increased by the second order and will enable Lieutenants to keep in closer touch with the layout of their territory and the men.

BRIDGEPORT WOMAN WINS
 TANGLED CASE

Judge Thomas in the United States court yesterday decided a very inter- esting case in favor of a Bridgeport woman. It was an interpleader brought by the Metropolitan Life In surance Company against Emma Harris of Providence, and Sarah A. Riley of Bridgeport. The insurance company asked the court to deter feidants it should pay an insurance of $500 on the life of William H. Harris. The latter died at a hospital in Providence in March, 1919. oHe had in the recent years of his life He had a short time before his death taken out the insurance policy making Mrs. Riley, who was his aunt, the beneficiary. The policy was given to her and she had paid the premiums on it. After going to the Providence hospital, Harris was visited by the other defendant. Emma Harris, who proved to be his wife. They had not met before in 25 years. She had be- lieved him dead and had married another man named John Washington Perry. Mrs. Harris paid frequent visits to her first husband, Harris, at the hospital and he, just before he died, signed a paper making her ben- eficiary to the insurance policy. This was what caused the dispute between the two women and which led the case to court
 Judge Thomas decides that the aunt, Mrs. Riley. shall be paid the $500 due on the policy.

HAYS TOLD
 PLATFORM
 IS AFFRONT
Connecticut Suffragists Say That National Committee Has Not Aided Them.

New York. Aug. "A delegation of by Miss Katharine Ludington, presi- dent of the Connecticut Woman Suf- frage Association, told Chairman Will H. Hays of the Republican National Committee at his offices here today that they would hold the Republican party strictly to account if women of the nation were unable to vote in the national election this fall. Miss Lud- ington, spokesman for the party, called the attention of Mr.<Hays to the fact that while his party was taking credit for ratification of the Anthony
 amendment by 29 states, it was not bringing any effective pressure to bear on the Republican governors of
 Connecticut and Vermont. each of
 whom holds key to the full en- franchisement of the nations women.
 After telling MT. Hays that his party had not made good the promises contained in resolutions adopted by the national committee and the Con- necticut Republican convention of last spring. Miss Ludfngton made the charge that the plank on suffrage in
  had been "emasculated at the re- quest of the Connecticut delegation until it was an affront to the, inte1li- gence of women, and a mockery of the Connecticut and Vermont legisla- tures.''
 She continued: MT. Roraback and Major Buckley have stated that the governor has never been asked by you to call a session. They evil dently feel, and wish the public to understand, that the National Re publican Committee has given them a free hand to pursue their obstruc- tionist course. And, to confirm this, comes Senator Harding's refusal to attempt to persuade Governor Hol- l comb.
 "In the meantime We women are being told that the Repu ublican party 1 cannot be held responsible, because l the governor stands alone in his op- position. We submit that so long I as the official leaders of the party in 1 the state are in entire harmony with
 him in opposing us, and the national party keeps hands off, they are ac- | compIices in his opposition and must 1 be held responsible accordingly. 1 And we further submit that if a i national party is to come before the l voters on the basis of it's policies and i promises then it must be held re-
 sponsible for making those promises 1 good through it's state branches
 and that if the voters of Connecticut
 are to be called on to support the Connecticut Republican party this
 fall, on the ground that it is Repub- | lican and on the merits of Republican ! policies then proof should be given | that it honorably supports those poli- i cies.
 If the Connecticut Republican leaders can play a free hand without 1 interference from the national party then that party faces the alternative
 of either admitting powerlessness and 1 disintegration or of being an ac-
 cornp1ice in the states attitude of re- pudiation."
