BROKER ASKS RELIEF
FROM ATTACHMENT
Petition Fought on Ground
That He NegIects Business.

George w. Thompson of 200 West
Fifty-eighth street, a broker with offices
at 25 Broad street, applied to Justice
Dixie in the Supreme Court in Brooklyn
yesterday, to have an order of attach
nent obtained upon his property by
Fred C. Gale of Elmhurst. L. l., vacated
on the ground that he had no intention
of leaving the State and that there was
no good reason for the attachment.
The order was obtained by Gale in
connection with a suit to recover $4,000
on a promissory note made by Thompson
TO Miss Katherine OFT of 140 West Fifty
fifth street on November 80, 1920. This
note has been assigned to Gale by Miss
Oft, who supports him in his fight
against the vacating of the attachment.
Miss OFT said that she had been ia
miliar with Thompsons affairs for sew
eral years and that he had neglected his
business and drank heavily in recent
years. She submitted a letter from him,
dated February 20, 1921, from the Union
Club, in which he said: II am in a ter
rible position and only the market can
save me. l am going to make one more
attempt to make some money, and then
II fail pistol will be the best answer"

TELL OF STUTZ CORNER
Guaranty Trust Co. and Alvin
Untcrmyer, Trustees for
Broker, Named in Bill.

Actions begun in the Supreme Court
In October by Mrs. l. Townsend Burden
and Mrs. Eudora f. Walsh against the
firm of Allan A. Ryan & Co., it's part
ners individually. and the Guaranty
Trust Company and Alvin Untermyer as
trustees for the firms creditors, were
made clear as to their terms and de-
mands yesterday, when the plaintiffs
filed complaints demanding 1894, 363,
alleging that the money was due them
from transactions in Stutz Motors stock
The complaints go back to March,
1920, almost year before Mr.. Ryan
was suspended from the Stock Exchange
after his attempt to corner Stutz Mo-
tors, and state that at that time both
plaintiffs had stock accounts with other
brokers-whose names are not given
and were persuaded by Mr.. Ryan to
transfer their accounts 20 his firm.
Each owed balance 10 the tirms they
had been trading with. They declare
that Ryan assured them that IL they
would switch their accounts to him he
would pay off their que balances and
carry Stutz stock for them and sell it
nt the top of the market. in time for
them 10 make handsome profits.
Within month, according to Mrs
Burdens complaint, the rise IN Stut7
stock was such that her 200 shares could
have been sold at $3.50 each. on April
10 dividend OF 90 per cent. made IL
possible for her stock to be scld, her in
cebtedness to her old firm paid and her
account closed at "A profit of S15O,016
That. however, was not done. and in tie
following June another dividend was de-
cared. this time of so per cent. and
Mrs Burden insists that enough more
shares should have been bought for her
TO bring her number up to 1000. II
that had been done, she declares, and
had the stock then been sold ard all lFher
indebtedness to brokers paid. she would
have come out with a profit OF s32S. 141
which is the amount Mrs. Burden sues
for.
Mrs. Walsh recites virtually the same
allegations of fact as Mrs Burden, their
two complaints differing mainly in the
figures. Mrs. Walsh's document ends
with demand for S306.222.
The Guaranty Trust Company and AL
win Untermyer were named trustees for
Ryan and Kenneth r. Howard, consti-
trting the firm of Allan A. Ryan g. Co,
on December Is, 1920. after confer
ence among the firms creditors and in
pursuance of a plan to conserve it's as
sets. Mrs. Burden and Mrs. Walsh
name the trustees specifically in allega.

should have sold the stock and paid the
brokers' TO whom money was owed when
Ryan failed to do so.

JUDGES URGE PUBLICATION
OF BANNS TO BAR BIGAMY
Would Have All Marriage Licenses Published in News
papers and Require Interval of Month Be-
tween Issuing of Document and the Wedding.

There have been numerous bigamy
cases in General Sessions this year.
Judge Mcintyre quoted figures yester-
day which showed that twenty-eight
persons had been convicted and one ac-
quilted during 1921. that four cases of
bigamy had been dismissed by the
Grand Jury and that one person charged
with bigamy had been sent to Mattewan
as insane. Judge Mcintyre indicated
that other judges in General Sessions
approve Judge Talley's position in
favor OF an amendment to the existing
law which would require some time to
elapse after license had been secured
before permitting the marriage to take
place.
Edward ]. Bernan, chauffeur, VINO
lives at So Moore street, Brooklyn, was
arraigned in Tombs Court on charge
of bisamy yesterday Magistrate Nolan
held him in $500 bail to await the ac-
ton of the Grand Jury. The complaint
was made by Anna Berman, 90 whose
maiden name was Anna Neimeth, of
1855 West Twenty second street Brook
lyn. She alleged that he married her in
Brooklyn last July. and that on Decent
be- Is he married Sadie Abrams, "a, of
50 Bartlett street Brooklyn. According
to the papers Berman claims he was
Coerced into marrying the second wife.

MILLER'S PROGRAM
TO GET FULL SUPPORT
Leaders Confer With Head OF
State Committee.

William L. Ward. Senator William M.
Calder, F. j. II. Kracke and Speaker H.
Edmund Machold of the Assembly con-
ferred at State headquarters with
George A. Glynn, chairman OF the Re
publican State Committee, yesterday.
1t was the opinion that the organiza-
ton would stand solidly back of the
Governor in his leginslative program
for the coming session. and that every
effort would be put forth to make the
session a short one in order that the
extra session for consideration Of the
New York city charter might not run
too far into the summer.
Speaker Machold conferred in regard
TO the organization of the Assembly.
There will be few changes. The only
important post that is to be filled this
year is a vacancy in the insurance COM
mittee due to the fact that Assemblyman
Frank L. Gardner of Dutchess did not
come back
The New York herald., 1921-12-28

A law which would reduce the number
OF runaway marriages and make for
fewer bigamous ones was proposed yes
terday by Judge Alfred J. Talley in Cen
eral Sessions. Judge Talley said he
favors the publication in newspapers of
all marriage licenses obtained. and the
requirement of an interval of as much
as month between the obtaining of the
license and the marriage. In that time
he declared, persons with objections to
make would have opportunity to regis
ter them.
Judge Talley made these suggestions
in suspending sentence on Joseph Platz-
man, "a, of 353 Beekman avenue, The
Bronx. who on November 30 1920, mar
ried Louise Larson. AT that time he had
u wife and two children. By way of
explanation he said that the day be-
fore his bigamous marriage he and Miss
Larson were members of a party that
went to Chinatown, and that he had
smoked a pipe of opium.
He was still under the influence or
the drug, he told Judge TalLey, when
he went to the Municipal Building. got
marriage license at one window and
was married at another.

LIBRARY SUFFERS
FROM BUDGET CUT
Fewer Books Are on Shelves.
Though Demand Keeps
Growing.

The New York Public Library faces
the leanest year in its history because
the city budget for 1892 has slashed the
appropriation for new books and periodi-
Gals 40 per cent. and cut the amount for
book binding 80 per cent. Franklin +.
Hopper. chief of the circulation depart
iient. said yesterday;
Where we got $7S,750 for book bind
ing last year and were just able to keep
our heads above water, this year we
will have only 100000. and we will fa!!
behind. Because OF rapid deterioration,
which we have not had money to check,
we have actually fewer books on hand
than year ago, when we had 1.157,4l4
books.
yet the public demand for books is
constantly growing. In 1920 the collec-
tion began to dwindle, the year closing
with more than 10000 fewer books than
piled this years figures. but IL our col
lection continues to grow smaller rather
than larger, where will we end?"
That New York Is defaulting on
payment of a vital civic insurance by
stinting it's supply of free books was tne
opinion of Mr.. Hopper. The American
ization problem among the foreign born.
he said. was reached by the library in
unique degree. The collection offered to
these residents. books In more than TWEEN
ty-one foreign languages, including many
translations Of lives of famous Amer-
cans. which inspired appreciation of and
desire for American ideals A year ago
these numbered 101.534. but there are
fewer now. with no help in sight to
make up the deficiency.
1--WE are unable to meet this problem
adequately" said Mr. Hopper. land the
foreign born go to the library branches
not as a charity, but as something they
own. First come the children. We get
them at once through the public schools,
where our branches offer practically
study laboratory. Then they are fol-
lowed by their parents"
Edwin Fl. Anderson, director, supple
mented Mr.. Hoppers statement. The
retrenchment. he said, has "broken the
librarys hack"
