Officer and $75,O 900
Lieutenant Bennett. Missing
Since December 22, Had
Been in Bad Health
Nero York Tribune
WdsIlin atom RI1-enn

WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.-Following
the disappearance of Lieutenant C. Y.
Bennet, OF the navy's disbursing office
here. in December, 1919, q shortage OF
1000 in the accounts OF the Navy
Department has been revealed, Secre-
tary Daniels announced t6-day. Ben
nets home address was Portsmouth,
Va. He was granted ten days leave
Of absence on December % and has not
returned.
Lieutenant Bennet's cash was veri-
fed by commiss sioned officer of the
general inspectors force on the first
day of October. at is evident" the an
nouncement continues, that if the
Treasury Department eventually finds
the deficit to be actual, the same must
have occurred between October j, 1919
and December 22. 1919, on which day
Lieutenant Bennet went on ten days
leave.
When some days had elapsed after
the expiration Of his leave and he
neither returned nor communicated
with the Navy Department, the Office
OF naval intelligence was requested to
try to find him. Up to this time they
nave not succeeded in doing so:
Prior to his disappearance Lieutcn-
ant Bennet had been in bad health and
was under constant treatment by the
naval medical officers for a number OF
months, in consequence Of which fact
1t was thought for a few days after
ne tailed to return on time that he
probably had been taken i'll somewhere
and therefore was unable to communi-
cate with Washington."

COLUMBUS, Ohio. Jan. 2l.-The
State OF Ohio, whose twenty four elec

day as New York. Even the Demo

few weeks OF campaign. Something,
they trust, like the "kept-us out-of

"elght-hour" act may occur which will
reverse the present trend.
Ohio has three candidates for the
Preside ncy-Governor James Vi. Cox
and Senator Atlee Pomcrene among the
Democrats and Senator Warren G.
Harding on the Republican side This
city is CoX's stronghold 1t is the CEN
ter of machine built up since he was
first elected Governor, in 1912, and the
Cox enthusiasm knows no bounds. The
Cox men think that the Governor if he
should be nominated by the Democrats
would carry the state. They do not
think any other Democrat could. The
Pomerene men think The Senator could
carry the state. but. coniidentially, they
do not believe Governor Coz or any

Mrs. Thomas Is
Sued fOrNIilliO1R
By Mrs. Sl1o1nts
Other Woman Enticed Her
Husband 10 Desert Her,
Charge Made i'll Action
for Alleged Alienation

The long expected complaint in the
suit brought by Mrs. Milla d. Shonts,
widow Of Theodore p. Shonts, former
president of the Interborough Rapid
Transit Company, against Mrs. Amanda
G. Thomas, principal beneficiary under
the will Of Mr.. Shonts. was filed in the
Supreme Court yesterday. 1t charges
that Mrs. Thomas alienatcd the affcc-
ton Of Mr.. Shonts from his wife and
deprived Mrs. Shonts Of his compan Mon
ship, protection and support. for which
the widow of the traction man demands
S1,O00,000 damages.
1t was six weeks ago that Mrs. Shonts
caused the service and filing Of the
summons in this action, but the nature
of the suit has been carefully concealed
until now, the filing OF the complaint
being the first official announcement of
It's character.
Practically all OF the charges Of Mrs.
Shonts against the woman who she al
lcges came between her and her late
husband are stated on information and
belief, but they are none the less bitter.
According to Mrs. Sionts. the efforts of
Mrs. Thomas "to willfully, wickedly and
malciously gain the affection of Mr.
Shonts' from the plaintiff began in
1906, and iinslly in 1910 the defendant
succeeded in "enticng" the railroad
president to desert his wife absolutely.
"to leave her without adequate support
and deprive her Of his society,"
'Alicnated His Love"
In bringing this aboot Mrs. Thomas
is charged with having "prcved ruth
lessly" upon Mr.. Shonts, and by her
"artiices, immora!ities and wles,"
alienatcd his love and affection from
Mrs. Shonts.
Mrs. Shonts says in her complaint
that she and Mr.. Shonts were married
III 1881 in Centerville, Iowa. Although
four years earlier that Mrs. Thomas,
who had obtained divorce from Her
bert f. Thomas, son of Orlando F.
Thomas, came into the life Of Mr..
Shonts. Their first meeting, it is said,
was at a social function where the two
were introduced by a daughter Of MIR.
Shonts.
Even that early III their friendship.
Mrs. Shonts alleges. Mrs. Thomas
sought to ingratatc herself with the
husband Of the woman who now seeks
damages from her. Mrs. Shon,s says
that, having managed to gain the af
fcctions Of Mr.. Snonts, the defendant
persuaded him TO leave mis- wife and 80
with her to various places in the
United States and elsewhere.
This relation, says Mrs. ShontS, con-
tinued until 1910, when Mrs. Thomas
"maliciously enticed" the former Inter-
borough president to abandon his wife
altogether.
Lived in Same Building
1t is added by the plaintiff that her
husband took up his residence in the
same building occupied in part by Mrs.
Thomas, in which place she "harbored
and detained the plaintiffs said hus-
band against the will of the plaintiff "
This situation says Mrs. Shonts. con-
tinued up to the death of her husband
