IN accord with the idea expressed by

SERVED IN $4,000 SUIT
Schaier, Piqued When Mrs.
Hera Wearied of Writing,
Sent Letters to Hera.

The futility OF extending friendly serv-
ice---as one sees Ito a man who does
not desire friendly service was made clear
20 Henry Schaier yesterday. when a
deputy sheriff arrested him as he was
standing on the steps Of the Hotel Astor
and took him to Ludlow Street Jail on
the complaint OF Albert L. Hera of Phila-
delphia.
The reading light is not especially good
in Ludlow street at o'clock on a De-
ccmber afternoon, but sitting reading
Hera's complaint there yesterday Schaier
was astounded TO fnd Incorporated In 1t
about forty letters that he had sent to
Hera a month ago, with a note inform
Ing him that Mrs. Hera had written them
to him, Schaier. Sitting then In Ludlow
street yesterday Schaier finally grasped
the salient fact OF his situation--that
Hcra had used the letters presented to him
as "A basis for a suit for alienation Of
afiecuonsa nd had landed him In Jail

OF the alleeationz set forth In Heras

that there are some go who VIII DO
anything.

from me and that Hora would be inter-
ested In reading them. As ! say. there
are men who win DO almost anything"
Hera asks for $4,000 damages, and In
obtained an order for Schaiers arrest
stated that he had been Informed and
believed Schaier was about to leave this
country for Europe. From his cell yes
terday Schaier said that Hera might
compute his chances of getting $4,000
from the fact that Schaier was In jail
because he was unable to supply with
cut considerable delay the $1,000 bail
nominated in the order Of arrest, and
that as for going to Europe his single
regrc. In regard to that continent was
that he had not gone earlier and without
giving Hera intimation Of his intention.
Schaicr formerly lived in Philedelphia-
but now is In business here and has an
cflice at 23s Broadway. Hera and Mrs.
Hera, who before her marriage was

Comptroller to Fight.

The Comptroller. who was angry over
the action of the Board Of Aldermen,
declared he would fight the issuance of
revenue bonds. Money for their rederup-
ton would have TO be put in the next
budget he said. This would limit the
amount that could be appropriated for
other purposes in the counties. The sit
ration, he predicted. would grow worse
from year to year until it would be i'm
possible to raise money for anything ex-
cept the redemption of revenue bonds.
He acknowledged, however, the situation
might be met by increasing assessed
valuation of property in the counties of
Richmond and The Bronx.
II there IS no money available, the
Comptroller said, he would srefuse to
honor the pay rolls. There is little
doubt, however. that the Board of Esti-
mate would DC mandamused to issue
revenue ponds to provide the necessary
money, which Is mandatory.
