Grace La Rue Sued
Bv Hale Hamilton's
Wife for 100000
of Affection Is
Alleged; Divorce Action
Brought Against Actor
Is Revealed by Suit

Hale Hamilton, an actor, who was
divorced in 1912 by Minnie Dorothy
Pepper, known on the stage as Jane
Oaker, and married Miss Maude Myrtle
Tannehill, is now the cause of a suit
for 100000 for alienation Of affec-
tions brought in the Supreme Court by
the second Mrs. Hamilton against Mrs.
Grace La Rue Chandler All the par
ties 30 the action are on the stage,
Grace La Rue. as she appears on the
electric signs, being vaudeville
headliner and musical comedy feature.
In fact, the alienation suit reveals
divorce suit brought against Hamil-
ton by his present wife, in Westches-
Ter County, which has been heard by
a referee and awaits only an arrange
ment over the question of alimony to
be closed with a decree in favor Of
Mrs. Hamilton
Mrs. Chandler was mentioned in this
suit by Mrs. Hamilton and the aliena
ton suit against her is an outgrowth
of that case. Further to complicate the
record, Mrs. Chandler is suing her hus
band, Byron Chandler, who used to be
known along Broadway as "the Million
Dollar Kid" for q divorce in Boston.
Some financial consideration has also
prevented that case from being finally
determlned. The Chambers have not
ived together for several years A few
years ago Grace La Rue sued him for
a separation and "the Million Dollar
kld' was arrested for non-payment of
alimony.
Mrs. Hamilton, who played last sea-
son with William Gillette, complained
that while Grace La Rue was plaving
IN st. Paul in November. 1918, and
Hamilton was with company in
Omaha, he went to St. Paul to visit the
correspondent in her divorce suit. She
also had certain kilograms, it was said
that passed between Miss La Rue or
Mrs. Chandler in Detroit and Mr.. Ham
llton IN New York. In one of these.
1t was alleged, Miss La Rue ordered
Hamilton to join her in Detroit and
warning him if he failed to do that
she would come here and make it ex-
ceedingly warm for Mr.. Hamilton.
Mr.. Hamilton is a member OF the
Players and the Lambs One Of his
great successes on the stage was n
Get Rich Quick Wallingford.
Chandler received his nickname be-
cause his grandmother left him 81 600
900, much of which he spent. Grace
La Rue was the divorced wife of
/ Charles H. Burke when she married
/ him.

ALBANY, Jan. Ex-Governor Smith
tonight submitted to the Legislature
letter from Lewis Nixon, First District
Public Service Commissioner, and
Chairman Charles B. Hill Of the Second
District Commission, protesting against
certain provisions o. the Cummins-
Esch bills in Congress terminating
Federal control of the railroads. Both
commissioners declared the bills would
interfere seriously With state control
through the public service commits
sions of public utilities in this state.
From an examination of these COM
munlcatlons," said the Governor, II am
convinced that the belief of the public
service commissions is we'll founded.
90 not think that the already difficult
task OF regulating and controlling pub
lie utilities in this state should be
made more difficult by such Federal in
reference as might result from the
passage OF either of these bills in its
present form.
Appeal to Washington Urged
II therefore recommend that your
honorable bodies, by suitable communi-
cations to our members of the United
States Senate and House of Representa-
tlves, call attention to the necessity of
protecting the interests of this state in
respect to this proposed legislation"
Commissioner Nixon said that GER
tain provisions of the bills were men
aclng to the rights of all the states
He particularly objected to the pro-
visions making it the duty of the Inter

gate any rate, fare, charge, classfica-
tion, regula alton or practice imposed by
the authority of any state. After such
investigation, he said, the Federal com
mission is given authority to remove
any undue burden upon interstate or
foreign commerce." notwithstanding the
law Of any state or the decision of any
state commission.
IF this should become law" said
Mr. Nixon, "it undoubtedly will operate
to deprive the state commissions Of
their powers to enforce any rate, serv-
ice or other regulatory order"
Grade Crossing Order Involved
He declared it would also interfere
with the orders of the public service
commis ssons in this state to eliminate
grade crossings for the purpose of in
creasing the safety Of traffic on the

Commissioner Nixon said any eFec-

be taken while the conference com
mittee in Congress is considering the
Cummins-Esch bills.
Assemblyman Warren I. Lee, of
Brooklyn, tonight introduced a bill
creating commission OF twelve to in

SPECIAL ATTENTION

Mayor George S. Oakley wishes
to call special attention to an ordi-
mango on the Village Ordinance book
which prohibits the firing of fire
crackers large or small, .torpedoes,
the discharge of guns, pistols OF any
other firearms within the corpora
ton limits on July fourth.
Fhis year the legal holiday comes
on Monday July 9Th so that the pro-
visions of the ordinance will cover
both Sunday and Menaag.
The Mayor is asking the ee-epepa
tion of every boy and girl, every
man and woman young and old in
enforcing thjs ordinance this year.
There are geod AID sufficient rea-
sons every year why tins ordinance
should be enforced, bur at the PIE
setsa time there are extraordinary
reasons why it should be carefully
observed. The Hoise of shooting anC
the discharge Of fireworks abou
town would afford an excellent CD
portuTity for the gang of desperate
law breahers who recently attempt
ed to deliver a 4risoner now he'll
in the Fulton County jail, to max
another attempt to liberate the Pr1s
oner in question. These men ar
desperate and will not hesitate t
take human lives i'll order to accom-
plish their purpose. Let us all hee
the Mayors appeal and show our
selves good Americans by strict
obeying the law and doing what W
can to secure justice for everyone.
