The whisky didn't cost the Commits
s;oner anything, but it may cost Con-
nell his job. The engineer was sus-

inr the result of an investigation of
The case by the Market Commissioner
Mr. o'Malley found the whisky in a
butcher shop at the market two weeks
arc while following the scent of q
tail of illegal disposition OF liquor at
tae public market He turned the evi-
dence over to Connell and told him to
lock it up in the ice box and not to let
sny one touch it until he had orders
from the Commissioners office.
The facts brought out at the hearing
before the Commissioner yesterday
wer. humiliating to Mr.. O'Malley and
damaging to the engineer. 1t appeared
that few days after the whisky was
impounded a man appeared at Wash

threatening to arrest the engineer un-
less he delivered the goods. The

According to the testimony at the
hearing yesterday, Connell had dis
missed the whisky incident from his
mind until Commissioner O'Malley
strolled into the market Monday.
Hope of Recovery Gone
'How's the old hootch getting
along?" the Commissioner casually
asked the engineer.
Its gone" replied Connell when he
had recalled the incident.
What do you mean, gomez" asked
The Commissioner.
Yes, a prohibition agent came and
get it, replied the engineer, who then
sssted the circumstances to O'Malley.
After q preliminary investigation
tharges of insubordination were made
against the engineer, and he was sus-
ded for thirty days. The Commits
sioner said that he had practically

Fourth w ife
OF Dan Hanna
Asks Divorce
Her Suit in Massachusetts
Charges Son Of Late Ohio
Capitalist Politician Was
Cruel in His Treatment
Given $25. 600 at Parting
Husband Said Then He Left
Her Because She Was
Jealous of His Secretary
Special Dispatch to The Tribune

-
PITTSFIELD, Mass, March 22.-Mrs
Mollie Covington Warden Hanna has
brought suit in the Superior Court
here for divorce from Dan r. Hanna
son Of the late Mark Hanna. She
charges abusive and cruel treatment
Papers were served on Mr.. Hanna at
Great Darlington a month ago, al
though nothing was made known re-
garding the suit until to-day. The
case is expected to come up for hear
ing here on April 4.
Mr.. Hanna and his fourth wife parted
two years ago and a separation agree
ment WAS recently reached under which
Mrs. Hanna receives $4,000 q year for
life and full title to the Hanna proper
ties in Lenox. Mr.. Hanna asserted that
he had left his wife because she was
jealous OF his secretary.
Mrs. Hanna in her suit, which is for
absolute divorce. asks for alinrony.
She has not, however, attached any OF
her husbands real estate holdings.
Further information regarding the case
is being closely guarded by attorneys
fer the two parties and the veil Of
secrecy also surrounds the bill on file
at the Superior Court.
Divorce Rumored Last Summer
The divorce proceedings are the
latest development in long series of
difficulties between Mr.. Hanna and his
wife. RumOrs that divorce was i'm
minent were circulated last summer
at Lenox, when it was learned that
Mrs. Hanna, on the occasion of visit
to her husbands home at Croton,. n.
T., had at first been refused admittance
and later had been locked up in q
room there and kept prisoner until she
succeeded in attracting her chauffeur !
attention through window. The
chauffeur called state trooper, who
obtained Mrs. Hanna's release.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hanna were married in
1916. They lived together in Lenox
for three years.
Mr.. Hanna erected stables in Lenox
ard made Il speciality of breeding fine
horses. Less than a year ago he sold
his horses and other livestock at auc-
tion.
Mr.. Hanna has been divorced three
times. His first marriage, in 1887, was
with May harrington, of Michigan,
when both were under age. They lived
at Senator Hanna's home in Ohio until
1898, when they were divorced.
Second Wife a Diyorcee
Shortly after this divorce Mr.. Hanna
married Mrs. Daisy Gordon Maud, OF
Cleveland, who had obtained decree
for the restoration of conjugal rights in
Great Britain from Major Maud, of the
British army. AS this decree was not
final, her marriage to Mr.. Hanna was
declared bigamous by British court.
In 1907 Mr.. Hanna was divorced from
his second wife and three days late,
married Marie Stuart, an actress, the
divorced wife of Frank E. Skelly The
third Mrs. Hanna got divorce in 1907
on statutory charge. Two months
later Mr.. Hanna married Mrs. Warden.

WHITE PHoNoGRAPH
COMPANIES OBJECT TO
coLoREo ENTERPRISE

New York City, Feb Following
the announcement a few weeks ago
that the Pace Phonograph corporation
of New York had been organized to
reproduce Negro music, using exclu-
sively Negro voices, notice was served
on the Pace & Handy Music company,
of which Mr.. Harry H. Pace was presi-
dent. by two large white phonograph
record companies that it need not ex-
pect any more of its published music
to be reproduced by them. It later
developed that practically every one
Of the record companies had read the
announcement which had teen taken or
sent to them by certain Colored men
desirous of starting such trouble, and
had reached an understanding that no
more songs published by the music
publishing firm of Pace & Handy
Music company would be brought out
on their records.
After a consultation with attorneys
and friends of the publishing house,
Mr.. Pace decided to retire from all
connection with Pace & Handy Music
company, publishers, and the charter
of the company was amended SO as to
change the name to Handy Bros.
Music company The firm will now
consist of Messrs, w. c. Handy and
&c. E. Handy, who will conduct the
business as formerly with Mr.. Pace
giving his entire time to the Pace
Phonograph corporation with offices
at 257 West 19Sth street, New York
City.
In respect to this matter, Mr.. Pace
states: "The OPPOSITION of the white
companies to the entry of a race or
ganiation into the phonograph record
producing field makes me all the more
determined to give the race represen-
tation in an entirely new field of bust
ness endeavor. and convinces me of
the necessity of preserving our race
music and preserving for our children
the wonderful voices and musical tai
ent we have in the race. The public
wants the kind of records I shall put
out and they will get them no matter
