MILWAUKEE,, Dec. 29.-Milwau-
KEGS City Council went on record yes
terday in favor of direct action by

Bill Does Not Give Definite
Fiscal Ratio.

The amended $3.50 taxation plan
for the District passed by the Senate
recently is being attacked again.
The Mid-City Citizens Association. at
its meeting in the Thomson School
last night. vigorously condemned the
bill in its present form.
A definite fiscal ratio between the
District and Congress was requested.
Members OF the association declared
the measure In its present form re-
suited in too much uncertainty.
A resolution was passed urging the
House appropriations committee to
recommend the passage of an item
Of $4,000 which will provide addi-
tional lights in the streets of Wash
ington. Russell Young introduced the
resolution.
The association is arranging to pro-
duce a play called, "As Strong as the
Hills" at the New Central High

January IL, 13 and IA. The proceeds
will go to the playground fund Of the
city.

Borrowed Safe
Jack Garrison, manager Of the

Jack Garrison, manager Of the
Capitol Theate- is roarin' mad.
Among his acts this week is a
mysterious Mr.. Raffles," who by
means of his highly developed
sense Of touch, can open any safe
that wears four les, three legs,
two legs, one leg or no legs.
To provide "Mr. Raffles" with
something to work on, Garrison
borrowed a perfectly good safe
from the Shaw Walker Company,
728 Thirteenth street northwest
"Mr. Raffles" opened it with ease
at every performance.
Then someone, else thought
they'd try it and when the thea
ter was deserted between shows
yesterday they sneaked upon the
stage and drilled a hole plumb
through the back of the borrowed
strongbox.
Now Garrison either has to buy
the safe or plug the hole. That's
what makes him mad. He attri-
butes the act to someone who
doubted the genuineness Of "Mr.
Raffles'" act.

FORMER WIFE Of
PRESTON GIBSON
ALL ALONE AGAIN
A. D. Pratt, Millionaire, Report
ed to Have Left Bride of Four
Months Over Holidays.

NEW YORK, Dec. 29.-It became
known today that Alexander Dallas
Bache Pratt, millionaire clubman and
member of the brokerage firm Of
Markoe, Morgan & Co, 100 Broadway,
spent the Christmas holidays away
from his four months brideaa and is
now living with his father Sat 270
Park avenue.
The first intimation that trouble
was brewing in the marital affairs
of Mr.. and Mrs. Pratt came when
the latter, who was the former wife
Of John Barrymore, became ill and
was forced to call in trained nurse.
The nurse was no other person than
Mrs. Sarah Ford Greenleaf, the
Gypsy Girl in the letters of Arthur
G. Burch, now on trial for his life In
Los Angeles, Cal.
Refuses to Talk.
When asked II Mr.. Pratt had spent
Christmas with her, Mrs Pratt re-
piled: r.~
Really I do not wish to make a
statement. 1t would be rather rude
for me to say anything"
Her voice was faltering and she
seemed to be suffering from the
nervous strain OF mental anguish.
At the offices of Markoe, Morgan *
Co, Mr.. Pratt was reached on the
telephone.
When asked II 1t were true that he
and his wife were estranged. he An
.wered:
IT don't care to make any state
ment," and hung up the receiver.
Break Last Week.
The break in the relations OF the
much married couple came during
Christmas week, II is said. Mr.. Pratt,
so rumor has 1t. became dissatisfied
with the Fifty-eighth street apartment
because it was too small. He there
upon moved to the palatial Park ave-
nue. home Of his parents.
Following this sudden connubial
rupture, Mrs. Pratt had a complste
nervous breakdown. She is confined
to her room AID has not been out for
some time.
Before her last marriage, Mrs.
Pratt was Katherine Harris Blythe,
or Mrs. Jack Barrymore, of the
noted family Of actors.
Married Last August.
She appeared on the stage sew
eral times. Her last appearance
was with Ethel Barrymore in De
classe."
one was HldITlcu august La loEl,
Mr.. Pratt, a member of the Four
Hundred, had only short time be-
fore been in the limelight when his
wife, the present Mrs. Preston Glib
son, obtained a divorce.
The matrimonial tangles which
have enveloped the lives Of both
Mrs. and Mr.. Pratt will probably
be revived. When asked II she in
tended to seek redress in the Supreme
Court. the former replied that she
had no statement to make.
The former Mrs. Pratt, now Mrs.
Preston Gibson, who was grand
daughter Of Henry ii. Rogers, the
= ndard Oil millionaire, divorced
Pratt In 1919. She thereafter married
Preston Gibson OF Washington, globe
trOtter and playwright.
Her divorce caused no little stir
In social circles both here and In
Newport and Southampton, L. I. She
also became estranged from her
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. William e.
Benjamin.
