sented under the direction of Charles
Frohman, Inc, in "The Dream Maker"
written by himself and Howard E. Nor
ton. This will be Mr.. Gillette's first
appearance in New York in more than
two years. The title of the new play
is significant, but, according to Mr.. Gill
lette, it is not in any sense of the
word dream" play. 1t has to do only
with plain, everyday reality. The
scenes are laid at a summer resort near
New York. Since Mr. Gillette has
shown in his Sherlock Holmes" and in
"Secret Service" how admirably he can
fit himself with part, it is expected
that he will have done so again in
THE Dream Maker" The regular
Wednesday matinee at the Empire will
be omitted this week and special per-
formance given on Thanksgiving Day
instead.

Ihe entire trip was just one patri-

the French women found they were to
be associated with Germans they started
to sing the "Marsellaise," Just to see
what the effect would be and to show
how they felt about it. The result was
burst of "Die Wacht am Rhein."
There and then Colonel G. I. Cress.
troop commander, began to devote him

Bride of Day Welded On
Dare, Husband Asserts
Wife, Seeking Separation, Says
W. ID. Wilson Returned With
First Spouse

Mrs. Msthilda Wilson, suing for a
separation, Informed Justice Burr yes
terday that her husband, William D.
Wilson. abandoned her day after
their marriage in Ulster County last
August. Mr.. Wilson is the owner of
much property in Ulster County and also
owns some valuable real estate in New
York City.
According to his wife, Wilson, after
deserting her, returned week later
to his estate of Big Indian, N. Y, with
Miss May Bugner, his first wife, and
told the plaintiff to leave his estate,
as he did not love her. At the same
time, Mrs. Wilson alleges, her husband
handed her card of New York law
firm, suggesting that she consult them
for the purpose of having their mar
riage annulled. He also offered her
$4,000 It she would bring such an
action, Mrs. Wilson asserts.
The plaintiff further quotes Mr.. Will
son as saying he had paid his first wife
similar amount when she obtained an
annulment of her marriage to him.
In reply to his wife's charge of
abandonment Wilson asserts that he
treated her with every consideration
and even now is willing to live with
her, although, as a matter Of fact, he
says, they were married on a dare, and
that it was never intended that they
should live together as husband and
wife.
Justice Burr granted Mrs. Wilson s25
a week alimony and 5000 for coun-
sci fee.

Bedtime Stories
An Unsuspected Danger
By Thornton w. Burgess
When seemingly tbs safest
Keep e~tra avatch, l pray,
For then 1t is that danger
May lurk along your aVoy.
-Honker the Goose.

After the unsuccessful attempt Of
Yowler the Bob Cat to catch one of
the flock of Honker the Goose and
4owler had gone off splitting and
snarling with disappointment, the re-
mainder of the night had been peace
full and quiet in the pond Of Paddy
the Beaver. Paddy himself felt that
1T was no longer necessary Tor him
to keep watch. He knew that Honker
or one of his flock would be on guard
the rest of the night, and he knew
that Reddy Fox and Mrs! Reddy and
Old Man Coyote knew this, too, and
that it would be useless for them to
hang around in the hope of catching
one OF those Geese. Honker and his
flock would keep out near the middle
of the pond, where there would be
no danger.
So Paddy, who had worked all the
day before and had been on watch
much of the night, went to his house
for needed sleep. He no longer wor-
ried. He felt that there no longer
was any danger. There was no need
to keep watch.
Now, Old Man Coyote and Reddy
and Mrs. Fox and old Granny Fox
and Yowler the Bob Cat were not the
only ones who heard the voice of
Honker the Goose as he led his flock
down from the Far North and had
seen them disappear among the trees
Of the Green Forest. That same
hunter who had been driven away
from Paddy's pond by Farmer
Browns Boy just in time to save the
Quacks had heard and seen and un-
derstood.
"rhose Geese have gone down in
that Beaver pond over in the Green
Forest to spend the night" said that
hunter to himself. "If get over
there before daylight ought to be
able. to get one or two of them with
no danger of being caught. Farmer
Browns Boy won't be over there at
that hour, and If have any luck at
all ! will get couple Of those Geese
and no one will be the wiser. I'll
do it,"
So, while gentle Mistress Moon
was still shining and jolly, round,
red Mr.. Sun had not yet even started
on his daily climb up in the blue. blue
sky, that hunter entered the Green
Forest with his terrible gun. He
knew every foot of the Green Forest
and just how to reach the pond of
Paddy the Beaver the easiest way.
As he drew near the pond he
moved very, very slowly and care
fully. He took each step as care
fully as if he were walking on eggs.

let for their boiling emotions, would
come a couple of national anthems.
The tumult was especially concerted
at meal times, when "The Star-Span-
gled Banner" would be thrown in for
good luck, and half dozen American
nurses with Irish proclivities would
chime in thereafter with ireland must
be free" Then the thirty-six babies
would begin to cry, and thirty six
fathers would begin to swear.
Babies All Yell in German
The baby chorus was oil German.
The walters were big, fat youngsters
with red cheeks and powerful lungs.
The French brides did not have even a
single baby.
According to the soldiers, the atti-
tude of the brides is typical of the
French and German nations. They
said that Germany harbored no ami
mostly toward England and America,
but that she still hated France, and
France returned the sentiment

Actress Attacks Broker
In Main Lobby of Hotel
Woman Can't Wait for Detect.
ives to Arrest Man She Says
Defrauded Her

Frederick Florian, who described
himself as stock broker, with offices
at 80 Broadway, was arrested in the
Hotel Pennsylvania last night by De-
tectives Morrison and Donnelly, of the
West Thirtieth Street station. The
complainant against Florian was Mona
Caballas, an actress, who played the
role of Suzette in "The Better OLE
and who lives at S70 Central Park
West. She alleges that the defendant
took $6,125 from her through misrep-
resentation.
Miss Caballas went to the Hotel
Pennsylvania with the arresting off,
GERS for the purpose of pointing
Florian out to them. When the man
walked through the main lobby of the
hotel, however, she dashed up to him.
Before the detectives could reach
Florian the woman, according to wit
nesses, was attacking him. The Incl

GERS pulled the two apart.
Miss Caballas told the police that
she met the defendant in the summer
Of 1920. He told her, she alleges, that
he was a broker, and admiring some
jewelry which she was wearing at the
time, remarked that the money which
the trinkets represented could be made
source of revenue if invested in first
mortgage bonds.
Later, according to the complainant,
she was convinced by Fabian's argu-
ments. She alleges that she sold her
jewelry and gave the broker the pro-
ceeds. In the fall of last year she
went on the road. When she returned
to New York Fabian had disappeared,

Virtually Half
OF Tax Levies
Here Sworn Off
Few Big Property Owners
Heed City's Call to Let
Assessments ON Their
Personal Holdings Stand
Plea Is Non-Residencc
Rockefellers and ]. p. Nor
gan Have Not Objected:
Mrs. Frick Wins Protest

Although Henry NJ. Goldfogle, the
new president of the Board of Taxes
and Assessments, made personal ap-
peals to many wealthy business men
to let the tentative assessments againt
their personal property stand because
of the city's need for money, it was
learned yesterday that the swearing
off of such taxes on the ground of non
residence has been as popular an avo-
cation as ever.
Most Of the claims of non-residence
have been passed upon and 1t is prob
able that only from 40 to 80 per cent
OF the tentative assessments, which
aggregate S667, ,A5o.s5O, will stand. The
peak of the rush for swearing off taxes
came the week before November so,
when the bsoks were closed.
Many Of those who have sworn off
their personal property assessments
are among the so-cared wealthiest
Nav Workers.. John D. Rockefeller,
whs was assessed. for $4,000 900, and
John D. Rockefeller jr., who was as
sessed for 100000. have not objected
to these assessments. Adelaide G..
Frick, widow Of the late Henry Clay
Frick, who was also assessed for $2,-
100000, swore off all but $4,000. Mrs.
Frick established residence in Pitts
bureh. Miss Helen C. Frick, who was
assessed for $1,000,000, reduced her
assessment to $4,000 on the same
ground of non-residence.
L. F. Morgan, who was assessed for
81 900, 900, so far has not made an ap-
pearance before the Tax Board to OBJ
ject to his assessment, but his son,
Junius S. Morgan, has sworn off a
100000 assessment on the claim of
non residence. Among others who were
assessed for 100000 and have sworn
off large part are William Vincent
600, as q nonresident Otto H. Kahn
reduced his s1,000,000 assessment to
$4,000, as a nonresident. Edward S.
Harkness's assessment was reduced to
$470,000.
William E. Smith established resi-
dence in hotel and his assessment Of
100000 was cancelled. The 100000
assessment of James B. Ford was re-
duced to $4,000. The $50O.00O assess
mentS OF Anna NJ. HaTkneSS and Mary
S. Harkness were reduced to $130,000
derbilt had her assessment of 100000
reduced to $4,000. Barbara S. Morgan
swore off her assessment of 100000.
August Belmont swore off an assess
ment of $4,000 on the claim of non-
residence. Charles NJ Schwab was re-
duced from $4,000 to $4,000. Henry
w. Taft, who was assessed for $4,000,
swore off $4,000.
Charles w. Morse, the banker and
ship builder, who is now on the high
seas returning from France at the re-
quest Of the Federal government, is on
the lists for S750,000.
On the list of most of those assessed
for 100000 or more. the total tentative
assessment was approximately $4,000
GOO. All but approximately 100000
of this was sworn off.
