to Another Track, Turns
Around, Gets His Man;
Woman and Son Hurt

When Stanley l.. Kennedy, Of 3l4
J., bumped the automobile he was driving
into a truck at 2O7th Street and Broad
way yesterday so hard that the truck
ran into a northbound Broadway car,
he never imagined that the car would
turn right around and chase him vim
dictively. That, however, is just what
happened.
Kennedy was driving north, on
Broadway, in machine owned by
Peter Canavan, of 1905 Sixtieth Street.

At 2O7th Street, truck. driven by Ed
ward Jordan, of Lynbrook, l.. l., hove
across his bows, and Kennedy hit it
glancing blow.

car that had just stopped to permit
Mrs. Isaac Layne, of 624 West 207th
Street, and her four year-old son,
John, to alight. Mrs. Layne and her
boy were bruised and scratched.
In the excitement Kennedy turned
MS car around ana SCuuucC away 10
the south. Motorman Dennis Fleming
saw him go, and his soul was filled
with the spirit of the chase. Shouting
to his conductor, Paul McAvoy, he
switched the car on to the southbound
track and gave her full power Ken
nedy, who had turned into 204th Street
and down Nermilyea Avenue, to Dyck-
man Street, was just turning into
Broadway again, confident that he had
shaken off all pursuers, when he saw
the car bearing down on him, with
Fleming dancing a breakdown on the
platform, shouting and shaking his
fist.
Kennedy put on all possible speed,
but he could not distance the car
which chased him to 181st Street.
where traffic caused Kennedy to stop
and surrender. He was locked up in
the West 177th Street police station,
charged with reckless driving, driving
without license and driving too close
to a standing streetcar.

Miss Butte Found
Working "Extra'' i'm
Los Angeles Movies
Girl Was Waitress. Model
and Hair Curler Demon
strator OH Trip; ''Sle Can
HaveCareer,'' Says Mother

Henrietta Butte, fifteen year old
daughter of a Harlem c;garmaker,
who disappeared April IL, was discov-
cred yesterday in motion picture
studio at Los Angeles, where she was
working as an extra" under r. name
of Vivian Vivienne. Since her d;sap-
pearance she had been a waitress, a
demonstrator of hair curriers' and a pos.
ter model. Before the girl decided that
Vivian Vivienne was the name under
which she preferred to become famous,
she called herself Doraldina Valdez.
The lure of the movies drew Hen
rietta from her comfortable home on
East l16th Street, Mrs. Butte, her
mother said Yesterday
"She must have planned it carefully,
Mrs. Butte declared. "for on the Satur-
day night previous to her disappearance
| asked her to take some money to the
bank and she refused, but on Monday
morning, when she was ready to start
for school she asked me to let her
take it,"
When she left the house the girl had
s265 in bills which SHE was to deposit
at the Harlem Savings Bank.
Mrs. Grace Hamilton, Of the Bureau
of Missing Persons, traced the girl to
Philadelphia where she stayed at the
Y. NJ. c. 4. and told people there that
she was employed as a model by we'll
known poster artists, and added that
she intended to go into the movies as
soon as she could fix up q good con-
tract At that time she was corre-
spending with a girl chum. When she
learned of the search being made for
/ her she went to Chicago, where she
worked for a few days demonstrating
patent hair curriers' in department
stores. She quit this job and went to
work as waitress. At her own re
quest she was transferred to another
restaurant owned by the same firm in
Needles, Cal Having gone this far
west az Vivian Nivienne she again
changed her name and was known in
the California town as Doraldina
Valdez
From Needles, where she stayed only
for few days. Henrietta resumed her
westward journey and finally landed in
Los Angeles. She worked as a house
maid until last week when she OBJ
tanned employment as an "extra' at a
moving picture studio.
Mrs. Butte said the girl was on her
way back home, and added that after
talking to- the Butte family would try
to arrange for her to take up some
form of dramatic work
"lf she wants to be moving picture
actress so badly that she would leave
her home for it," the mother said, "I
guess she can have q career But it
viii have to be in NV York, for a
time, anyway"
Los ANGELES, May 1S-Hcnrietta
Butte, of New York, was brought to
JuVenlle Hail here yesterday by Cap
tain Williams, of the Chicago Police
Department. She was held for safe
keeping only, it was said. She was
working as a domestic and had not
gone into the "movies,' as was re
! ported.

Mrs. Thomas Says Shonts'
Widow Signed Release
Produces Copy of Promise Not
to Bring Suit; Denies
Alienation Charge

Mrs Mlla D. Shonts, widow of Thco-
dorc p. Shont5, who failed to be repre-
scented in court yesterday, wili DC
directed TO G;c reply to certain allie
gat'o1.s made by Mrs. Amanda c..
Thomas in her amended answer to the
suit of Mrs Shonts for $l,00G,000 for
alienation of her husbands affections.
Mrs. Thomas, who is named as prin-
cipal beneficiary in the will of Mr..
Shonts, denied in her amended answer
that she alenatcd the affections of the
late president of the Interborough
Rapid Transit.
The defendant also introduced new
matter that constituted a defense by
avoidance, according to former Justice
Clarence j. Shearn, attorney for Mrs.
Thomas. This was copy Of a gen
eral release made by Mrs. Shonts in
June, 1917, wherein she released Mrs.
Thomas from all liability and promised
not to bring any suit against her.
Judge Shearn also contcnded that the
allegation Of Mrs. Shonts that the cause
Of action against Mrs. Thomas, accrued
in 1911, brought the suit of the widow
beyond the statute of limitations.
Default was taken yesterday when
the case was called. 1t is on this action
that Justice Tierney is expected to
direct Mrs. Shonts to file her reply.

Even such merchants as

swept into it by public opin-
ion, and one by one the most
reluctant are breaking loose
with gilded bargains, cloth
ing sales and all the strong

vertising devices to try to
appease their customers VINO
insist upon asking, why
don't you cut down your
prices as the Wanamaker

There are lower prices for
many things nearly everywhere,

long remember that it is only

DIED TO ESCAPE SUFFERING
Crew of Crippled Hun Submarine cox the Easiest Way Out of Hope
 lees Situation.

Admiral Sims in the Worlds Work tells of the efficiency of the suDcnaser listening devices. Once when supna- rine had been injured and was lying on the bottom in shallow water grew some thing was heard. They listened for hours, without hearing a sound; but about 5 o'clock in the afternoon a sharp piercing noise came ringing over the wires. It was a sound that maoe the listeners blood run cold.
 Only one thing in the world could make a sound like that. It was the crack of revolver. The first report had hardly stilled when another shot was heard; and then there were more fin rapid succession. The listeners on two different chasers heard these DIS tol cracks and counted them; the re- ports which these men independently made agreed in every detail. In all 25 shots came from the bottom of the sea. AS there were from 25 to 50 men in the submarine crew the meaning was all too evident. The larger part of the officers and men, finding them selves shut tightly in their coffin or steel, had resorted to that escape which was not uncommOnly availed Of by German submarine crews in this hideous war. Nearly all of them had committed suicide.

WILL SET ANCIENT MOUNDS
ArcheoIogists Plan Most Thorough
 Examination of Structures at Camp sherman, in Ohio.

Excavations of seven prehistoric mounds at Camp Sherman will be started by Dr. William c. Mills cura- tor of the Ohio State Archaeological and Historical society. The farm on which the mounds are situated was one of those condemned and purchased by the government for Camp Sherman. The only examination ever made Of the mounds was by Squier and DaVls in 1846. Relics they uncovered were purchased by the Blackmore museum, Salisbury, England, for $1O,0OO.
 Squier and Davis were responsible for the conclusion that the mounds were built by a distinct race, known as Mound Builders" This theory Is viz orously contested by Doctor Mills and other noted archeologists. They say there Is conclusive evidence that the mounds were built by American h. dians of the Algonquin family. Squier and Davis, in their examination of the mounds, merely tunneled several of the mounds. Doctor Mills will con- pletely tear them down sitting great part of the dirt through screens. There are 23 mounds in the group. Some al- ready have been eXcavated by Doctor Mills One was found to contain l33 skeletons and 12,OOO specimens of flint, copper and pottery implements and vessels

ML title Zion" Becomes Park.

Three hundred miles south of Salt Lake City and reached by automobile from Lund, Utah, Is Little Zion can- yon. the newest of American national playgrounds.
 The canyon derives its name from Salt Lake City, which about 5O years ago was known as Zion. Brigham Young and other Mormons visited the district and the inhabitants decided that they would call the canyon "Lit- tie Zion," evidently considering Salt Lake City big place.
 Within the last few years, Little Zion canyon has been visited by large number of tourists and some of them have termed 1t "The Rainbow of the Desert"
 There are deep canyons with cliffs of blood red and cliffs of cream white rising to a height of 2,70O feet. Huge natural bridges and level-topped pla- teaus, with precinitous cliffs and pic turesque amphitheaters, provide pie ture that strikes one with awe.-Chris tian Science Monitor.

Chautauqua Lecturer Just Returned
 From Europe
Ar. John A. Dunaway will give the facts q the hour on the Balkan situation

Serbia in 1920" will be the subject of the lecture by MT. John A. Dunaway on the third afternoon of the Chautau- qua program. Before the war Mir. Dunaway was an instructor in the Wharton School of Economies at the University of Pennsylvania. In 1918 he was successful lecturer on the Chautauqua circuit.
 Since then he has been engaged fin relief work in the Near East with head quarters at Aleppo, Syria. He has been travelling in Serbia, and returned just in time to begin the summer season with the Swarthmore Chautauquas.
 MT. Dunaway Is & keen observer, 8 practical man of affairs in relief work, and a student of world problems. He will present Serbia as the key to the Balkan situation. -
 The Balkans have been and perhaps still are the powder magazine of the world. It was a spark thrown into that powder magazi.e that started the conf1agration of the world war, and there is still plenty of unexploded pow. der there.
 Whether we like it or not, we must be interested in the Balkan situation. If they tlow up again the whole world must suffer the quake.
 It will be an unequalled opportunity for all to hear the latest description of this international tinder-box from . man who has been there, and seen the inside workings.

APOLOGIES TO BR'ER RABBIT
Field Mouse, Not Bunny, Is Anathems> tized GirdIer of Trees, According
 to Eastern Expert.

An official of the state fish and game commission informs us that we are un- just to the rabbit in ascribing to him all the girdling of fruit trees which mas been going on In these parts lately. Our informant says, observes a writer In the Ohio State Journal. that the held mouse Is responsible for more than oO per cent of this damage and we hasten to tender our sincere apologies to the rabbit, whose feelings we would not hurt for the world. and are quick to give the guilty field mouse his just share of cenSure.
 Field mice, 1t seems have the inde- fensible habit of burrowing among the roots of small fruit trees In the fall, following out a warm place, as field mice estimate warmth. and spending the winter there. When they get num- gry and nothing else Is available, they shin up little way and eat the bark of the tree cunningly making tooth marks almost exactly like rabbits ana thus throwing editors and other ex- perts of the scent. The rabbits are not wholly without sin, but a 49 per cent sinner averages up fairly well with the rest of us. Moreover. the rabbit may easily be foiled in ms lapses from grace by placing piece or tar paper about two feet in height, or piece of wire netting around the base of each young fruit tree. Perhaps this expedient, like other prohibitory meas ures, does not build character in the rabbit, but 1t does in the orchardist Nothing, we understand, can be done about the field mice unless one stays at the foot of the tree and catches them. They are lost in sin.
