LAWYER ACCUSED OF
FORGING DIVORCES
Said to Have Sold 60 DEGREES
With Westchester Justices
Names Signed.

Walter Ferris. Assistant District At
terday that when the Westchester Grand
Jury convenes next week he would ask
that indictments be returned against a
lawyer, whose Offices are in West Thirty
fourth street, for forging the names of
Justices in the Ninth Judicial District
to interlocutory and final divorce de-
crees. 1t is understood that there have
been at least sixty of these fake divorces
given by the man 10 his clients. and in
one case at least the result has been
that a woman has committed bigamy,
remarrying after receiving the false de-
cree because she believed she was legally
free
The man responsible for the forgeries
Is said TO have been in New York for
several years, coming here from Chi
cago after having practiced law in Yer
mont and Indiana. 1t is understood
that several justices. including Justice
Arthur S. Tompkins, have seen sigma
lures purporting to be theirs on divorce
DEGREES and have repudiated them.
Evidence in the hands Of Mr.. Ferris
indicates that the accused man mas been
selling fake divorces for some time.
usually for amounts ranging from 500
to $1,000. In several instances he is
said to have represented to his clients
that his influence with the courts of the
Ninth District was SO great that they
would not have TO appear in court TO
get their decreees.
In at least one case he is said to
have forged the court minutes, as well
as the decree supposed to have been
signed by a Justice. Several of the
documents scattered broadcast by the
attorney have come into the hands OF
the Westchester county authorities and
will be presented to the Grand Jury.

CRAIC-CONNOLLY SCRAP
IS HALTED BY COURT
Justice CoUegan Orders With
drasDaI Of Epithets.

What started off to be an exhibition
OF verbal pyrotechnics between Comp
troller Charles l.. Craig and Borough
President Maurice L. Connolly Of Queens
was cut short yesterday by Supreme
Court Justice Edward J. Gavegan. when
both appeared before him. The Comp
troller was there TO oppose the granting
OF a writ OF mandamus to the Anoroc

that would compel him 10 sign vouchers

The Borough President sought 10 pre-
sent an affidavit in reply to those sub
mltted by the Comptroller, which he al
legged attacked his character unjustly.
Comptroller Craig objected to the ad-
mission of Mr.. Connolly's affidavit on
the ground that II contained scandalous
matter directed at me-" The Borough
President rejoined with: Your Honor.
my friend, the Comptroller, Is a past
grand master in that art. as the courts
have had occasion from time to time TO
determine. But I am willing to strike
out the expression to which he objects IL
he will withdraw his remarks about

withdraw the remarks about the other.
Comptroller Craig maintained that the
Borough President no longer had a right
TO intervene, as the matter before the
court was solely the question OF the man
tamus. Mr.. Connoll protested that the
mere withdrawal OF the accusations from
the Comptroller's affidsvits was small
satisfaction" for the injury ne felt he
had received. but Justice Gavegan up
held the Comptroller and refused to ac-
ccpt the amended affidavit from the
Borough President.
There followed brief argument be-
tween the Comptroller and Robert J.
Robeson. representing the Anoroc com
pany, which Justice Gavegan ended by
denying the application for a writ. with
permission TO renew. provided the Comp

Sows Need Rest Before
Spring Breeding Season

With the approach of the spring
breeding season for hogs, farmers
should make arrangements to have
the nursing period for pigs COM
pleted and the SOW dried up by at
least one week before breeding time,
which usually comes about the mid
die of May, according to recommen-
dations made by animal husbandry
specialists. One way to accomplish
this is to cut off the feed of the
SOW aid then supply more corn in
the ration. If the SOW is a heavy
mixer the pigs may be allowed to
nurse once each day. After she has
been completely dried up the feed
ing of a high protein ration win put
her in good condition for breeding.
A ration composed of 80 pounds
Of corn, 80 pounds of oats, 80 of
The Mt. Sterling advocate., 1921-05-10

middlings and 10 Of tankage has
been found to give good results, ac-
cording to Prof. E. ]. Wilford, of
the Animal Husbandry Department
of the College of Agriculture. An
other good ration is composed of 80
pounds of middlings, so pounds of
corn and ten pounds of tankage.
In preparation for weaving, which
is best done when the young animals
are about eight weeks old, the pigs
may be given shelled corn in the bot
tom of a trough containing skim
milk. If skim milk is not available
the pigs may be fed the same ration
which the SOW is receiving when the
pigs are weaned. This ration should
be fed in form Of slop. After
they have been weaned the pigs may
be fed the first ration recommended
for the SOW until they reach a weight
of 125 pounds.
The feeding Of corn and tankage
in self feeder is one of the best
means of feeding young pigs that
are to go on the early market, Prof.
Wilford said.

It requires a long time for a tooth
to reach that stage of decay where
it is impossible to presrve it. But
once the decay begins it is only a
matter Of time until the tooth is
finally beyond redemption. Every
day you delay going to the dentist
adds more to the inconvenience, dis
comfort and expense that is surely
piling up on you. Sooner or later
YOU must go to your dentist or lose
your teeth entirely. Why not make
that visit now and thus save the
penalties of further delay.-Dr. II.
