MAYOR AND WIFE
BEGIN STATE TOUR
Moore Starts Motor Trip After
Addressing Convention of
Third-Class Cities
ASKS CLOSER COOPERATION

Mayor Moore and Mrs. Moore are
motoring through Pennsylvania during
the short vacation the city's chief mag :
istrote began yesterday.
Yesterday the Mayor was the chief
speaker at the convention Of third class
municipalities at York, and last night
he left that city for Gettysburg.
Mr.. and Mrs. Moore left Gettysburg
this morning and continued westward.
The news of his speaking at York and
stopover at Gettysburg was tine first
public Indications of where he would
spend his vacation.
Closer co operation between cities Of
the first ard third classes was urged by
the Mayor in his address at York.
Mayor Moore said It was the duty
Of officials everywhere to draw the lines
more closely and drive out the crooks
responsible for the wave of crime now
sweeping the country. He advocated
taking a portion Of the taxes received
by the state and diverting them to mu-
nicipal purposes. explaining that tn
upkeep of the streets is largely for the
benefit Of motorists, necessitating
larger police force and increase In ex-
penses of the cities and boroughs. aD[
that therefore it was right that the
state at large should help bear these
expenses.
In answer to a question as TO whether
he would appoint q committee to act
in conjunction with the third class city
league, he asked the convention TO put
the request in writing. and he would
take it up with his cabinet.

Woman Divorced From "KeniI-

Cure. She Says
DR.. PARKE GIVES DIAGNOSIS

Larceny Of her soul is the charge Of
former Philadelphia woman against
her divorced husband, "Zoza." society's
favorite star gazer and palmist. who Is
well known here and in Atlantic City,
Newport and New York.
Dispatches from New York tell how
Mrs. Laura Brooks Ellwanger Martin.
former wife Of the seer, "Kenilworth, I"
blames him for stealing her soul and in
return projecting part" Of his own
personality in her spiritual being.
To rid herself Of the baneful influence
exerted over her by "Zoza," who is
known outside spiritual circles as Wal
ter Winston Kenilworth. Mrs. Kenil-
worth says she has spent large sums Of
money in engaging mental analysts,
psychologists and ncurologists to cure
her.
She consulted, she says. DR.. J. Rich
ardson Parke, neurological expert of
this city. who gave the following dag
nosis of her peculiar trouble:
Until her marriage TO Mr.. Kenil-
worth there was nothing in her condi-
tion to warrant apprehension, although
the marriage itself was entered into
against my counsel and professional ad-
vice. My fears were not groundless.
Almost Immediately after her mar
riage there ensued n period Of relapse,
together with other and more serious
symptoms of highly unfavorable
denoting to the skilled psy-
chologist domination of the patient by
q far stronger and more aggressive psy-
chic personality than herself"
''Zoza" sailed several weeks ago for
France, where he has villa, and ac-
to his former wife, he took her
soul with him.
She and the seer were married in
1918. He is forty five and
she is forty two. She is now in New
York trying, she says, to recover her
astral nature"
One famous diagnostician told her
that her mental distress was inducted
by "Zoza's" projection of his strong
will upon her weaker one.
One day, while in Philadelphia, she
says she had consuming hunger for
oranges and ate eighteen Of them. Later
she was told by Kenilworth he had been
at an orange dealers near his
in Atlantic City and had
caused her to come under his psychic in
fuencc to satisfy his vanity.
