Rich Trader Sued
On Cruelty Ground
By Crippled Wife
Mrs. Louise Mccullough Says
Husband Poisoned Mind
of Son Against Her, in Ac-
ton for Legal Separation

An unusual story of marital unhap-
piness, based partly on the alleged
cruelty of the husband and aggravated
by the death of her two children, is
told in an affidavit filed in the Supreme
Court by Mrs. Louise M. Mccullough,
of 410 Riverside Drive, in her separa-
tion suit against Edwin Clifford Nc
Cullough. The husband lives at 116
West Seventythird Street. He is head
of an export firm in Manila, P l., and
is said to be millionaire.
Mrs. Mccullough is now under the
attendance of two specialists and two
nurses. who are treating her for frac-
lures to both legs which she suffered
last June in an automobile accident in
which her daughter, Louise, was killed.
The plaintiffs helpless condition was
set forth in the alimony proceeding,
and Justice Erlanger yesterday award
ed Mrs. Mccullough $500 week, which
is one of the largest amounts given in
New York County for many years. The
court also allowed the wife $4,000 for
counsel fees.
Mrs. Mccullough, who is a we'll
known musician, is forty-two years old
and her husband is ten years her
senior. She met the defendant in Cali
fornia and eloped with him in 1893 to
San Bernardino, where they were mar
ried. They went to the Philippines in
1898. Mr.. Mccullough was then
printer, with government contracts, and
prospered in Manila. When they left
there in 1916 he was the representative
of several large American firms. Mrs.
Mccullough said her husband has a
fortune of $2,000,000. Mrs. McCul-.
lough's son died in San Francisco of
typhoid fever before his mother could
reach his bedside. "This," she said,
was the greatest shock of my life" 1t
followed an estrangement with her.
husband which Mrs. Mccullough
charges was caused by Mr.. McCul-
Tough poisoning their sons mind
against her. Another allegation by
Mrs. Mccullough was that ain order to
gain business advantage over another
man he attempted to use me to COM
promise this man and thereby cause
him to be run out Of town." The plain
tiff said she refused to lend herself to
this. scheme, whererpon' her husband
beat her and carried to their SON
stories that were untrue.
Mrs. Mccullough complained that Mr..
Mccullough told her of escapades.
In his reply Mr.. Mccullough denied
his wife's allegations and said she was
temperamental.

merly American fiscal adviser to the
Persian government, who is friend Of
Mr.. Mccullough, made an affidavit in
which he said the defendant had been

Colored Troops
May Get Armory
One Flight Up
City Is Urged to Abandon
Ornate Designs and House
Men Over Repair Shop
at a Saving of $12O,OOO

Since the 18th Infantry, colorcd, was
permanently assigned to the Second
Brigade of the New York Guard, the
city authorities have been looking about
for armory accommodations for the
regiment, which the city is required
to provide. A committee, appointed
for the purpose, of which F. II. La
Guardia, president OF the Board of AL
dermen, is chairman, has recommended
to the Armory Board that the armory
be located on the second floor over
repair shop for the Interborough Rail-
road, in the building to be erected by
the Transit Construction Commissioner
at 147th and 148th streets and Seventh
avenue.
Plans for a one-story concrete build
ing, to serve as the repair shop, are
already under way, and it is the idea
OF the committee to recommend to the
Commissioners of the Sinking Fund
that the height of the building be in
creased to provide for the armory.
II the plan is accepted, the city will
be going back to the plans of years ago,
when armories were over markets or
stores.
The old 69th Infantry's armory was
originally over Tompkins Market on the
site now occupied by the annex to Coo
per Union, at the junction of Third and
Fourth avenues, and the old list Infan-
try Armory was on the site now occupied
by the Herald building, at Sixth Avenue
and Thirty-fourtn and Thirty-fifth
streets, over market. BY putting the
l5th's armory on the second floor the
Aldermanic President figures that the
city will save $4,000 a year.
The report further states that it is
the opinion of the committee that "the
ornate and defensive character of the
designs of the armores previously
erected in the city, are extravagant and
wastefuL" and that the level of the
armory floor, if the plans are accepted,
would only be fifteen feet above the
ground at Seventh Avenue, thus per-
mitting prompt ingress and egress. The
location proposed is in the heart of the
district where the rank and file of the
regiment are recruited, and a site
could not be selected, the committee
declares, which would be more suitable.

QUIT MEAT WHEN
KIDNEYS BOTHER
Take a Glass of Salts if Your
Back Hurts or Bladder
Troubles You.

No man or woman who eats meat
regularly can make mistake by
flushing the kidneys occasionally, says
weli-known authority. Meat forms
uric acid which excites the kidneys,
they become overworked fronS the
strain, get sluggish and fail to filter
the waste and poisons FROM the blood,
then we get sick. Nearly all rheuma-
tism, headache, liver trouble, nervous
ness. dizziness. sleeplessness and
urinary disorders come from sluggish
kidneys.
The moment you feel a dull ache in
the kidneys or your back hurts or if
the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of
sediment, irregular of passage or at
tended by a sensation of scalding.
stop eating meat and get about four
ounces of Jad Salts from any phar-
macy; take tablespoonful in glass
of water before breakfast and in a
few days your kidneys viii act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice. COM
bined with lithia and has been used
for generations to flush and stimulate
the kidneys, also to neutralize the
acids in urine so l. no longer causes
irritation, thus ending bladder weak
ness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
injure; makes a delightful effervescent
l.thia-water drink which everyone
should take now and then TO. keep the
kidneys clean and active and the blood
pure, thereby avoiding serious kidney
complications

Under the provisions of the law

city there are about % boys and girls

who are the support OF their mother,
