BALKS AT WINDOWS
LOOKING INTO HERS
Miss Herrick Objects to Exten-
sion Built Next Door by
Columbia Professor.

The recent and publicly aired protests
by the real Greenwich Villagers about
conditions caused by intruders In their
fair hamlet had counterpart yesterday
in the Supreme Court in an action
brought by Miss Celeste w. Herrick,
Public Library assistant, of 46 Morton
street, to defend the privacy Of her bed
room and bathroom.
Miss Herrick has lived continuously in
No. 46 for twenty years, and at various
other times before that. And members
of her family have occupied the premises
since the house was built. about 1858.
kinsman of her grandfather Theodore
Hyatt bought the land the year before
from Trinity Church.
The intrusion in question is offered by
Prof. William P. Montague, philosophy
professor at Columbia University. He
has almost completed the erection OF a
two story and basement extension In the
rear Of the dwelling at No. AZ. Miss
Herrick alleged the extension not only
cuts off light and air from the garden
In her back yard and from n rear porch
to her house but. worse still. there are
windows in the extension only a few
feet from the rear wall of her home. be-
hind which are her bedroom and bath
room.
Miss Herrick applied to Justice Whita'
ker for q writ restraining further work or
the extension. Prof. Montague answered
this with an affidavit asserting that th'
addition was entirely on his own prop
erty. and remarking:
II have no intention whatever OF an
noying or displeasing the plaintiff. ant
both my wife and feel very sorry tha
| she is annoyed. I purposely had thu
window in the first story facing hel
premises made of translucent glass. Th'
second story window is of plain glass, a.
I plan to use it as my study, and ligh
and air are necessary"
| Miss Herrick argued that even though
windows are of translucent glass the.
may be opened. But Justice Whitake
apparently decided to trust the profes
sor, for he denied the application for al
| injunction.

HYLAN FIGHTS PAY
BOOST FOR TEACHERS
Defies Mandatory Appropria-
tion; Scores State Action.

Mayor HyIan flung an ultimatum to
the Legislature yesterday when he re-
fused to vote for a mandatory appro-
prtation granted by the Legislature and
declared the only way his vote could be
obtained would be by mandamus. The
appropriation was for SAT. AIT to increase
the pay Of the teaching staff Of Hunter
College and was brought to the atten-
ton Of the finance and budget committee
of the Board Of Estimate by DR.. George
S. Davis president of the college. After
the Mayor declined to vote the money
the resolution asking the appropriation
was referred to the budget calendar for
next year, despite the fact that the
Legislature had made the increase ef-
fective June l of this year.
"The Legislature passes mandatory
legislation compelling the Board of Esti-
mate to increase salaries and then 1t
sends committee down here to find out
why the budget is so high the Mayor
complained.
DR.. Davis defended the action of the
college in asking the Legislature to
grant the increase by saying that the in
crease was no more than the teachers
deserved and that the action of the Leg
islature relieved the Board of Estimate
of the responsibility Of the appropria-
tion.

IS A DOUGHNUT FRIED
OR BOILED OR BAKED?
That Is Question That Is
NoW SteWing Ouer.

Supreme Court Justice Finch took un-
der advisement yesterday the momentous
question Of whether doughnut Is some
thing that is fried, boiled or baked II
re decides it's something baked then the
use of an automatic doughnut making
machine in the window of restaurant
at 4s2 Lenox avenue will constitute
breach of contract on the part of the
owners Of the restaurant, Andrew Levitt
ard Louis M. Kabaker. They used to
own a bakery across the street at No.
an. but on selling out to the Royal BaS-
ing Company which consists Of Jacob
and John Keeser, agreed not to engage
in the bakery business within ten blocks
OF their old establishment. The Keesers
are bringing the action for breach of
contract. alleging that the doughnut ma
chine makes the restaurant bakery.
I'VE claim o. doughnut Is not baked
and its manufacture Is no violation OF
our covenant" the defendants lawyer
told Justice Finch. THE machine Is
there principally as an advertisement
and no bread or cake or anything else
can think of is baked on the premises"

Justice Norman Dixie in the Supreme
Court in Long Island City yesterday
handed down a decision In which he held
that F. Linde Ryon Of Ossning, member
of a we'll known Flushing family. was
not responsible for debts piled up through
the extravaganza of his wife. Mrs.
Elizabeth Darrow Ryon, who is
now said by the authorities to be in jail
In California for defrauding a hotel. The
decision was in a suit brought by Ryon
to recover from the John Wanamaker
Company two mortgages Of $4,000
which he had pledged for payment Of
debt of s16,292.81 contracted by his
wife. Justice Dixie held that the mort
cages must be returned to him.
The Justices decision contained a
vigorous excoriation of Mrs. Ryon. who.
he declared. seemed to answer the def
milton of "vamp" as the word Is used
nowadays. Ryon married his wife few
days after meeting her in a motion pic
ture show in Manhattan. and, in refer
ring to the marriage and the subsequent
piling up of debts by Mrs. Ryon, the
courts decision says
''The evidence discloses a most amaz-
ing situation. AS defendants attorneys
have properly said In their brief. the
story requires the pen of novelist l
might even add that. as 1 look at 1t. 1t
requires the pen and imagination of a
scenario writer. The situation here dis
closed has been brought about by the
unconscionable acts Of young woman
who possessed in the highest degree the
clever methods of the trained adven-
turess and in whose hands this refined
and credulous plaintiff was her easy
prey. l have not found in any UP to date
dictionary a definition of the word

HUSBAND NOT RESPONSIBLE
FOR VAMP'S EXTRAVAGANCE
Justice Dixie Excoriates Methods of Trained Adven-
turess" and Restores Mortgages Turned Over
to Wanamaker Company.

'vamp' so frequently and currently used
nowadays but II the word can be defined
as a female in pursuit of male. whose
physical attractions are as marked as
her moral qualities are missing, then
may properly term the woman in the
case a 'vamp
The result of her calculating activi-
ties has resulted on the one hand in the
tragic disillusionment of a very credu-
lous young man, who through her has
seen his little fortune shattered and his
hope of a happy married life destroyed
and, on the Jther hand in the serious
financial loss that must follow II the
plaintiff in this action Is to salvage what
remains of his depleted property-the
two mortgages now in possession of the
defendant"
1t was testified during the trial of the
action that while student at Yale Uni
versity Ryon established credit with the
Wanamalser store. but his purchases in
seven years were only little more than
$500, whereas his wife ran up bills OF
more than $4,000 in three months.
"The common law doctrine of the
agency of the wife for her husband"
says Justice Dike's decision. exists
where the wife purchases necessities for
the household, but ceases where she
makes such purchases upon her own ex-
elusive credit. The evidence here shows
that Ryon furnished abundantly to his
wife all that could be expected in fact,
he was 'bed white by her. The agency
of the wife is a question of fact, not of
law. 1t is we'll settled that where credit
is given to the wife solely the husband
is not liable, although they are living
together at that time and the husband
sees her in possession OF the articles
purchased"

STILLMAN REFEREE
STUDIES TESTIMONY
Decision on Defence Objection
May Reveal New Reasons
for Divorce Suit.

Daniel j. Gleason, referee in the
Poughkeepsie last night with two bound
volumes of testimony under his arm.
and when he returns on Saturday from
his home in Miilerton he will be pre-
portant objection made by John E.
Brennan, chief counsel for Mrs. Still
man. made at the last session of the
hearings. This decision. 1t was declared
last night by attorneys connected with
the case. may change the complexion Of
the whole proceedings, and may result
in bringing to light additional reasons
for the brokers action in starting the
divorce action.
The objection made by Mr.. Brennan
was to Mr.. Stilman being permitted to
answer three questions on redirect ex-
animation by his own attorneys. ques-
tions which are understood to have been
designed to put the banker on record as
having begun the suit solely to deter
mine the parentage of Guy Stillman and
the right of the child to participate In
the $1,000, 900 trust fund established by
the late James Stillman. father of the
present head of the family. These ques-
tions are:
did you express yourself to your
wife's attorneys. before bringing this
action, as being entirely willing that
your wife should have a divorce If she
wanted one?"
did you then take legal advice by
your counsel that the question of the
paternity of Guy Stillman could not be
tried out In an action brought by you?"
"And did you because OF that (the
advice of counsel) therefore bring this
action against Mrs. Stillman and Guy
Stillman?"
1t Is expected that at the same time
Referee Glea son hands down this deci-
sion as to whether the banker is to be
allowed to answer these questions. he
will decide also on several other motions
made during the recent hearings Two
of these have to do with Exhibit B and
the alleged Fred Beauvais letters, one of
which was excluded and the other ad-
mitted on present proof" Another Is a
motion by John z. Mack. guardian of
Guy Stilman, and has to do with the
alleged conversations in Buffalo between
Mrs. Stillman and DR.. Hugh L. Russell.
an osteopath. relating to the mental and
physical condition of Mrs. Stillman and
about trip she made to a physician in
| Boston.
Attorneys with wide knowledge of
the case. however, said last night that
these motions are merely Incidental to
the objection regarding Mr.. Stillman's
right to answer the three questions. On
the decision to the last mentioned may
depend, 1t is said. whether the real
reason for bringing the suit will be
made public 1t has been reported that
the suit originally was to have been
begun by Mrs. Stillman and that the
banker began 1t when she failed to do so.

HYLAN OPENS FIRST
CITY SHOWER BATHS
Assures Dripping Boys and
Girls He Will Stand with
You Plain People,

Mayor Hylan's new bobby. the dedi-
cation of shower baths. took him yester-
day afternoon TO West Forty-seventh
street There the first OF the Lou port
able showers for which the city is paying
$4,000 were turned on several hundred
delighted boys and girls. and the Mayor
viewing the children dancing amid the
crops, turned on speech. He talked
without manuscript. His speech began,
I'm a great city like New York." and
ended, so long as I am in office you
can depend on me will stand with you
plain people"
The showers. each eight feet high and
throwing out cone OF spray twenty7slx
feet in diameter. are the invention OF
Chief John Kenlon of the Fire Depart
nent. They can be connected by hose
with any hydrant. Yesterdays demon
stration took place in front OF the quar-
ters of Engine Company 54, between
Eighth and Ninth avenues. The Fire
Department band played jolly tunes
while the many children. In bathing
suits and a few in ordinary clothes. got
a drenching. Motion picture men got
films Of little girls-one stepping In the
artificial rain that made the hot street
cool.
The water was suddenly turned off
when the Mayor mounted the front stoop
Of a flat house and addressed the drip
ming bathers on such airy topics as the
deyiltry OF the Rockefeller Foundation
and the shame Of the privileged interests,
which. 1t seemed. permitted the rich TO
bathe whenever they felt like 1t but were
| bent on restricting the natatory liberties
Of the poor.
Attended by the Hon. This McManus.
Tammany leader of the district. and
The's brother, Charles. Alderman, the
Mayor. before speaking lifted in his
arms the AIderman's threa-year-old
| daughter Ellen, and was thus photo
| graphed for posterity.
These shower baths he said. are
| for the benefit of the poor who can
pay car fare to the beaches. ] believe
| that a little sprinkle of cold water on
| hot day will make you feel better ana
! live longer. and you'll not be overcome
by the heat of this great city. The city
belongs to the people and not to the
special privilege seeking interests
| (Cheers.)
Ths Mayor favored his hearers, most
! of whom were below the age OF 10
! years, with a defence of his record
| against the recent report of the Public
Education Association, which blamed
| his administration tor overcrowded and
dilapidated schools. The children looked
| appalled, when he said that seventeen
new schools would be opened in Septem-
| Der, with 10000 new seats. Noticing this,
| he said: But when you childrsn are
enjoying your vacations I guess you
don't want to hear about schools, do

SHALLOW is BEATEN
In SCHOOL SITE CASE
Deserted by Mayor in Selection
of Lots for Building at
Coney Island.

Comptroller Craig won yesterday his
fight for The rejection of the school
site at Neptune avenue and Thirueth
street. Coney Island. which the Comp
troller had charged was selected by DR..
Edward B. Shallow. Associate Superin-
tendent OF Schools, through collusive
methods. Mayor Hylan who supported
Superintendent Shallow and denounced
Craig when the controversy arose, had
postponed consideration Of the matter in
the Board of Estimate ever since But
yesterday when the question came be-
fore the finance and budget committee
of the board the Mayor suddenly
switched his position and left DR.. Shall
low in the cold.
The Mayor moved that the approval
of the site be referred back to the Board
of Education with the request that the
site in question be abandoned and an
other site selected. The Mayor instruct
ed DIR. Shallow further to select city
owned land If possible. which was just
what the Comptroller had recommended
when he assailed DR.. Shadows first
choice.
That order from the Mayor probably
will drive DIR. Shallow to seek a site
across Neptune avenue from the one he
had recommended. There, according tc
the Comptroller. the city owns a great
deal of filed land to which it will have
no difficulty in establishing its claim OF
title, whereas it had just released title
on the former site for 5000 lot. The
Mayor will ask the Corporation Counsel
for an opinion. however. TO make sure
that the city can establish its title tc
the reclaimed land.
The Mayor sought to appease DR.
Shadows feelings by telling him thai
the Board of Estimate had every con-
fidence in him. despite the Comptroller
charge of collusion. which now Is in the
hands of the District Attorney of Kings
county. but that it would be hard to ex
plain to the people of the city why the
city turned over property for 5000 and
then bought it back for a much larger
sum for a school site"
