WIFE GONE 8 YEARS,
HE SEEKS FREEDOM
Manager of Steamship Company Tells
Of Nationwide Search for Missing
Woman and Child.

After nationwide search for the wife
who deserted him eight years ago, taking
with her their infant son, Henry Maien-
fant obtained from Justice Finch. IN the
Supreme Court. yesterday an order per-
mitting him to serve notice by publication
upon Mrs. Martha Malenfant, his wife, of
his action TO annul their marriage. The
grounds for Mr.. Malenfants action do
not appear in the papers. which contained
many kilograms received from police
heads in cities as far west as California
Mr.. Malenfant married the young wom-
an. whose home was i'll Cohoes, \. Y, in
this city on October %. 1906, and they lived
together until September IS. 1911, when
she disappeared without giving him any
intimation of her intended act. Nothing
was heard of Mrs. Malenfant by her hus-
band until September II. 1914, when she
sent him telegram from San Francisco
saying she had consulted with Benjamin
Rosenthal, a lawyer, about getting di-
vorce She told him tnat she would charge
his failure to support her and that no
expense would have to be borne by him.
From that time Mr.. Malenfant, who be-
came general manager of a big steamship
company IN Montreal, engaged detectives
in an effort to find his wife. Inquiries
we're sent to the police chiefs of Sacra-
mento and San Francisco. Cal. where she
was supposed to have been at one time
or other. They put detectives on the case.
but they reported lack of success.
Operatives employed by Mr.. Malenfant
learned that his child had been committed
by the Juvenile Court of San Francisco to
the care of the Catholic Humane Society
in 1913, and inquiries there elected the in
formation from the secretary that Mrs.
Malenfant had later taken tho boy away.
The secretary remembered Mrs. Malenfant
because she appeared above the class that
appealed for aid. She told them
at the society that she was from Wablin's
Bay, n. Y, and that her husband had de-
serted her. The lawyer Rosenthal was
later found, but his records failed TO show
any woman named Mrs. Malenfant retain
ing him to sue for divorce, and he had no
recollection of ever having seen her. An
inspection of the list of women voters of
and San Francisco did not dis
close Mrs. Malenfants name among those
who had registered.
Mr.. Malenfant said he communicated
with his wife's parents at Cohoes. n. Y,
and they informed him that they had not
heard from their daughter since 1910.

THIS PRINCESS PAYS
$40 AS SOOTHSAYER
Prediction That Detective VIII Be
Prosperous Imposes Too Great
Strain on Courts Credulity.

Princess Lena Espbron is twenty and
attractive and tells fortunes-sometimes
She was a maiden in distress yesterday in
the high tribunal of the Tombs, and her
charm made the court attendants more
attentive than court attendants usually
are.
Princess Lena was dressed in full gypsy
regalia-a dress of colors that would have
suited Joseph had it been a coat, French
heeled slippers, a velvet coat, lavender
veil. red roses in her hair and jewelry
such as gypsies fancy.
The villain appeared in the person of De-
tective Joseph Fazio. He testified he had
been to the princess castle, at No. Is
Roosevelt street, and asked her to tell his
future. He crossed her palm with a fifty
cent piece-as mere matter Of form-and
was informed that he was happy and
would be prosperous. Then he dragged
the princess into durance vile.
The princess counsel, Mr.. Jesse Henry,
got an admission from the detective that
he was happy. something it is not easy to
make any man admit. He then pleaded
that the prophecy about prosperity might
come true, all of which would be worth
a half dollar of any detectives money.
And anyway, he argued, the princess dealt
In fancy lace and embroidery and only
told fortunes upon the most urgent solici-
tation. But Magistrate rockingham re-
fused to await the fulfilment of the fore
cast. He levied a fine of $40. which was
paid in the coin of the realm by the prin-
cess chancellor of the exchequer. There
upon the Princess Lena rusted her silks,
ratified her jewelry and displayed her bru-
nette beauty generously in making a scorn-
full retreat back to her castle in Roose-
Welt street, where, it is said, she sits in a
tower pining.

WOMEN EMPLOYEES OF CITY
Reject SHORTENING HOURS

An attempt 10 shorten the hours OF
women employees OF the city was resented
yesterday at a meeting OF the women en-
ployed in the different departments of the
Borough of Manhattan. which was held
in the Municipal Building. IL had been
suggested that the quitting time for women
be placed at half-past four o'clock In the
afternoon instead of five. Fifty women
gathered to talk il over Miss Harriet F..
Porritt. secretary to Clarence y. Fay,
of Public Works. presided.
You cannot separate the working hours
of men and women employed on the same
work in the same office" declared Miss
Porritt- This view received unanimous
approval.
The agitation 10 shorten the women's
working day followed the receipt of a letter
by Henry II. Curran. Borough President.
in which this suggestion was made on the
ground that II would enable women to es-
cape the nightly traffic jam.

Urges Tunnel for
New York Mails
Special Despatch to the HerqAJ

WASHINGTON. d c., wednesday-A
tunnel fifteen feet WIDE and eight feet
high FOR the sole purpose Of transporting
nails between the Pennsylvania and Grand
Central terminals. and to cost S2,000.00O
was recommended today by j. c. Rooms
First Assistant Postmaster General 10
the Senate Committee on Post Offices and
Post Roads. Mr.. Rooms said il would take
two years to construct the tunnel which
would have one track, on which cars would
be propelled by electric power.
The distance TO be traversed is about
one and one-half miles. After the tunnel
was completed, Mr.. Koons said. It would
cost about S6S,00o year for upkeep and
compared with 100000 a year
row spent on the trucking system. The
to he considered. he said. was
that by building the tunnel the mail trucks
would be taken from New York streets,
which are badly congested with traffic.

POTATO CROP is
90 PER CENT NORMAL
Aroostook County Predicts Crop of 23,-
S95, 1000 Bushels-New England
Apple Crop Better.

WAKEFIELD, Mass, Aug. 1.-THE
condition of the Aroostook county, Me-,
potato crop is now 30 per cent of normal
and forecasts %, ,s95 900 bushels against
"a, ,4S0, 600 bushels last year, according to
the New England crop report issued to-
day by V A. Sanders, field agent of the
bureau of crop estimates of the United
States department of agriculture. The
crop elsewhere in Maine and New Eng
land, with the exception of Rhode Island
and northeastern Massachusetts, has
grown well.
New England's commercial apple crop
is reported heavier than last year in all
states except Maine. Peaches are re-
ported failure in New Hampshire, fair
in Massachusetts, and production very
small elsewhere. Pears are light in
Maine, average in Rhode Island, and good
in other New England states.
Competent valley onions forecast a
yield of % per cent. Tobacco in the same
region has grown very poorly because of
cool and wet weather, but the crop is
reported as capable of rapid improve
ment. Hay in Maine and Vermont is
better than forecasted earlier, but still
below average. Oats in Maine, New
Hampshire and Vermont improved dur
ing July and are near full crop, but
are only fair in the other three states.
Corn is about an average crop in north
ern New England.
