TOO POOR TO

NEW YORK CITY, March 3.-In
answering the reopening of the case
of Mrs. Amy Garvey against him,
Marcus Garvey says that ne believes
the whole thing to be a conspiracy to
undermine the various organizations
with which he is identified.
He sets forth also that he is unable
TO pay the alimony asked for, for the
reason that his income will not per
init, Notwithstanding the fact that the
original complaint against him re-
vealed the contrary. Again he denies
paying his personal check for $500
for subscription to the Liberian Lib
erty Loan. Mr.. Garyey declares fur
ther that Mrs. Garvey is in good
health and fully capable of taking
care OF herself, incidentally saying
that she attends the theatres several
times during the week, or at will" He
declares also that it is necessary for
him to do considerable travelling, in
order to help himself and the organ
izations he represents. 1t appears to
be his opinion that the whole move
ment is one to destroy him, Garvey,
and the Universal and other organ
izations which he is connected with
The case will be put forward Wig

regardless of his denials of the facts
