BROWNS FRIENDS REMAIN
RETIcENT OVER STORY
Peabody Refuses to Discuss Cashier
Browns Story of Strange
Disappearance ~

Wichita Beacon:,
Townsfolk of Stanley Brown miss
ing assistant bank cashier. who re-
turned to Peabody Saturday with a
report of having ben drugged, beat
EN- and robbed in Wichita, are some
what reticent concerning the case.
Brown has not reported at the
American State Bank or notified il
of his return. Brown had been with
the institution since its organization
in August, 1919.
Bank officials refuse to express
an opinion, of his explanation; ;but it
is said today that his disappearance
may automatically remove him from
its employment.
Brown was at his home Sunday.
Shortly otter his disappearance, Mrs.
Brown was quoted as saying she
"didn't care If he never came back"
She has been at their home with him
however, since his return. A friend
who called on him, reported that he
seemed "dopy" and complained of
pain in his head.
Webb Wilson, assistant chief of
police at Hutchinson said Sunday he
is not satisfied that the mystery has
been entirely cleared up.
Brown telegraphed to Hutchinson
for reservations on the Rock Island
Limited from Wichita" he said. "He
bought a suit of clothes, either at
Hutchinson of in Wichita and seemed
to have plenty of money. He GER
tainly had not ben robbed up to that
time. He bore no evidence of foul
play when at Hutchinson rooming
house. There may be something more
to this than foul play and blank men,
ory," said Mr.. Wilson.

Tries to Hold Up Hall
Packed With Unionists
Learns It's Foolish to Interrupt
Speaker or to Monkey With
Young Policemen

Sam Meyerowitz hates to be inter
rupted while making a speech, particu-
larly when he is advising his fellow
members Of the Painters Union as to
why they should insist upon taking
some of the money from landlords who
are bleeding" those who have to
change apartments next Saturday, Octo-
her ].
Therefore, when a rough looking per-
son appeared suddenly in the union
headquarters, on the second floor of
500 Eighth Avenue, near THIRTEEN
Street, Sunday night, waving a wicked
looking revolver and demanding that
Sans fifty auditors stick up their
hands, remain quiet and surrender all
their valuables, Sam got sore.
He planted punch on the point of
the bandits chin. The gun fell under
the PROSTATE form of the roughl looking
person. Sam and his co-workers jumped
for the intruder, but he managed to
regain his feet, grab his revolver and
disappear through the hallway into
Eighth Avenue.
They gave Patrolman William F.
Reith, of the West Thirtieth Street
station, description of the intruder
which was so accurate that Keith pro-
ceeded to question a person it fitted,
whom he saw at Twenty eighth Street
and Eighth Avenue an hOur later.
The pedestrian, to show his objection
to the personal nature of Patrolman
Reth's questioning, reached into his
coat pocket and struck revolver
against the young policemen's mid
section. The two clinched and fell. AS
they rolled about the sidewalk Reith
managed to draw his own revolver and
used it as club

Rand School Unmolested
Till Court Rules ON Law
Attorney General Newton to
Seek Early Decision From
Appellate Division

ALBANY, Sept 27.-The Rand
School of Social Science will be per-
mitted to continue its courses Of in
struction until the question of the
constitutionality of the Lusk act,
which prescribes that all private
schools must obtain a license from the
State Board of Regents has been
definitely settled.
This announcement was made this
afternoon by Attorney General Charles
d. Newton following a conference
with Deputy Commissioner Frank B.
Gilbert of the State Department of
Education and counsel to the Board of
Regents, who has assumed charge of
the work of directing the enforcement
of the Lusk act
close the Rand Schcol of Social Sci
ence," said Attorney General Newton,
"the consttutionalty of the Lusk law
will be tested in the courts.
"The test of the validity of this
statute, which is the outgrowth of the
investigations of radicalism by q
Legislative committee, will be initial
ed in the Appellate Division of the
Supreme Court. The case will be sub
mitted to this tribunal upon an agreed
statement of facts, leaving it to the
courts expeditiously to determine
whether or not tire Legislature acted
within it's rights when it passed this
law.
81 expect the Appellate Division will
decide the issue speedily in order that
it may be presented to the Court of
Appeals early in the fall term, which
opens next Monday. Undoubtedly the
case will be given preference in view
of the fact that the enforcement of
the law will depend upon the ultimate
decision"
Attorney General Newton declared
that he has received a proposed state
ment of facts upon which the Rand
School is prepared to rest it's case
from Morris Hillquit, counsel for the
school, and that he is examining the
data.

Ship Board Will Not Ask
For a New Appropriation
Lasker Regime Showing Re-
suits; Employees Reduced and
Operating Deficit Cut
the Tribuno'a Washinoton Blurred

from tne ITtOunC 3 w uSHtnUtOH bureau
WASHINGTON, Sept. 27.-Evidence
of the success Of the Lasker admins
tration of the Shipping Board was
given to- day by Chairman Martin Mad
den of the House Committee on Appro-
priations, who stated the board has in
formed Congress that it does not en-
pect to ask for any new appropriations.
This announcement was concededly a
surprise, for it was generally expected
the Shipping Board would request some
sine during the coming session another
appropriation, probably equal to the
one Of $48 100000 recently made Chair
man Lasker of the Shipping Board,
declared Representative Madden, has
made this saving possible by eliminat-
ing, since the last appropriation was
made, about $500 employees of the
board. He said he had been informed
that another 1000 employees are to be
dropped during the next thirty days.
Another indication that the Shipping
Board is retrenching is seen in the
great reduction which it was learned
to-day had been made in the annual OPP
Grating deficit. This deficit has been,
in round numbers, about 100000, 900 q
year, but Chairman Madden declared it
had now been reduced to about $780,
100000, and that Mr.. Lasker expects to
cut it soon to $36000,0OO.
About 100000 of this annual deficit
accrues from the operation of twenty
seven ships on pioneer routes" to the
Orient and other parts of the world
required by the Jones act, it was ex-
planned.

M1NEOLA, L. T.. Sept. 27-Two
bandits who had blockaded the Baby

night held up and robbed Fred P. Bor-
roughs, an automobile salesman. of
Merrick, l.. l.
Borroughs was driving on the Baby
Ion turnpike at dusk when he came on
two automobiles standing in the middle
of the road. By the position of the
cars Borroughs suspected that some
thing was wrong, and before bringing
his own machine to stop he took $500,
a diamond ring and his watch from his
pocket and hid them under the seat.
When he was almost on the two
automobiles he attempted to turn and
get away. But two men rushed from a
woods nearby and prevented him. He
succeeded in striking one of the men
in the face, but the second man threat
ened him with a revolver. When the
two bandits searched the salesman
they found but 50. After telling him
to remain quiet, the two left the scene
in disgust. Borrougha reported the
holdup later to Sheriff Smith, but no
trace Of the men could be found

ALLEGATION of Thrice
Welded Woman Asked
Latest Husband in Suit for
Annllment Alleges Her Two
Divorces Are Invalid

Walter Raymond Ward filed riddle
in the Supreme Court yesterday.
Legally, it is suit for annulment Of
his marriage to Mrs. Dawn Frances
Ward. also known as Mae Frances
Hegedorn and Mae Frances Midgley
The defendant of the various cognomens
was served at 1856 West Forty sixth
Street.
Mr.. Ward is asking the court to de-
eide that Mrs. Ward is Mrs. Ward only
de facto and that de jure, she is the
wife of somebody else. In case he re-
point Mr.. Ward will place upon the
court the work of solving the other
phase of the riddle, which is to find
cut just whose wife the woman now
known as Mrs. Ward really is.
Mr.. Ward says he married the de-
PENDANT in January, 1921. He alleges
that subsequently he learned that in
June, 1909, she had married one Sager
Midgley in Fort Erie, Ontario, and also
that in October, 1918, in Newark, N. j.,
she became the wife of Fred C. Hage-
dorm.
1t is true. Mr.. Ward admits, that Mrs.
Ward obtained DEGREES of divorce
against both these alleged husbands.
put, ne contends, IN both cases the
DEGREES were granted in Chicago, and,
adds the plaintiff, neither Midgley nor
Hagedorn, was ever resident of Hi
nols. Therefore, says Mr.. Ward, the
judicial cancellation of the two alleged
prior marriages is without legal effect
in New York, and Mrs. Ward continues
to be either Mrs. Midgley or Mrs. Hage-
dorm. For his own purpose it does not
matter to Mr.. Ward which it is, for all
he asks is that the court decide that
the defendant is not Mrs. Ward.
