CHEW CAUSES STIR
OYER WIFE'S TEETH
Captain on Trial Nearly Breaks
Up Court Martial With
Torrent of Abuse.

The question of whether Mrs. Beverly
Grayson Chew, wife of the army cap
tain on trial at Governors Island on a
charge of forgery and other offences, has
good and regular, or poor and irregular
teeth nearly disrupted the court-martial
yesterday. Capt. Chew jumped to his
feet when Mrs. Chew was asked to show
her teeth to the court, and, declaring
she should not do it, launched into a
torrent OF abuse of the court and its
methods that continued until the court
was cleared and he was quieted.
William z. Leahy. Capt. Chew's civil
ian counsel, said he would show that the
woman with whom Capt. Chew was seen
in Washington and in whose company
he opened accounts and cashed checks
here as capt. Spaulding' was not Mrs.
Chew, but a woman who resembled her.
Witnesses had testified that the Mrs.
Chew" of the escapades had poor teeth.
Mrs. Chew finally proved that hers are
good.
Mr.. Leahy also said that he would
show that Capt Chew had been under
shell fire and gas in France; that he
was wounded in The arm and has deep
cleft in his 81 ull. It is alleged that he
Is irresponsible as q result Of his ex-
periences.
Several of the prosecutions witnesses
were recalled yesterday and testified
that the real Mrs. Chew looked much
less like photographs Of the woman they
had seen In New York and Washington
than the alleged bogus Mrs. Chew did.
Mrs. Chew's chauffeur was arrested
for having a smoking automobile while
she was on her way to court and she
had to- pay So fine before she could
proceed.

Increased Humidity Makes

Throughout City.
WARM WAVE CONTINUES
Washington Forecast Indicates
Slightly Cooler Weather
May Be On Way.

The highest temperature yesterday
was Sc degrees, Z degrees lower than
the highest point reached Wednesday
but the increased humidity made the
suffering much more intense. Three
deaths and eight prostrations were re-
ported. A thunderstorm, accompanied
by a heavy downpour in most parts
of the city, brought some relief be-
tween and o'clock.
James II. Scarr, forecaster for the
local Weather Bureau, pointed out
that so far as bodily comfort is con-
cerned, thermometers are not reliable
instruments. The wet bulb system,
which takes account of the humidity,
is regarded as a far more sensible
method of telling how hot it is. For
example, at the top yesterday after
noon, which came at about 3 o'clock,
this instrument registered IA degrees,
as compared with 1873 degrees on
Wednesday.
Forecast Is for Cooler.
Although the forecast from Washlng-
ton indicated that to-day would be gen
orally fair and somewhat cooler" Mr..
Scarr said that the warm wave is not
necessarily ended. The temperature. he
said. will depend upon whether 1t is
cloudy or clear. Local thunderstorms,
which are the principal chance of relief.
are expected tonight and tomorrow,
when 1t will be partly cloudy.

Fiaschetti
Threat Due to Business.
1t is alleged that VincenZo made
threat against Varotta In the course OF
disagreement over business trans
action. About fifteen months ago
Varotta volunteered to aid Troia, who
was then out of work, and whose wife
was in hospital.
The two men, with another italian.
raised 500 and established an automo-
bile repair shop at 6O4 East Sixteenth
street The first weeks business
amounted to $3S, which came into the
possession Of Troia. a part Of which
Varotta demanded as his share In the
profits.
Troia refused to give up any of the
money. and 1t is said chased Varotta
out of the shop. and would have as
saulted him had 1t not been for the
interference of a policeman. Varotta
then broke up the partnership, but was
unable from time to time to get back
the money he had invested. The last
time varotta endeavored to obtain the
investment Troia threatened. You'll
pay for this some time"
Protests His Innocence.
This alleged threat. together with
the disappearance of vincenzo immedi-
ately after the kidnapping of Varottas
little son. resulted in the arrest Of
Troia, who when taken into custody
protested his innocence of any connec-
ton with the crime.
The threatening letter received by
Varotta was written on dirty brown
paper. mailed from Post Office station
13 early yesterday and was signed
BLACK Hand" 1t was written In Ital-
ian and translated reads:
Beware. You did not put up tho
money We will kill you like we killed
your son. Tell Fiaschetti he will never
find out who threw the boy overheard.
Some day he will get what you are
going to get. Goodbye. You may cry
because you may get the worst"
