HOUSING tho members Of the group under
L l. the same roof is especially advantageous
for both doctor and patient with the re-
sultant saving of tim" and distance The
expense and delay incurred by several indie
pendent consultations and treatments are
saved in grave and puzzing cases. In the
individual practice Of medicine a consultation
is seldom held by council of physicians
untiFthc sickness reaches a crisis. In group
practice the patient receives the benefit of
such consultation at the beginning of his
sickness. Careful teamwork minimiZrS the
chances OF incomplete and misleading dag.
nOsis and of ineffective treatment
The group Clni" is 50 organized however
that a patient may consult one physician
and be examined and treated by him only {:
the majority of cases being simple enough TO
be so handled. Bur if his case is compli-
Gated and batiing, he may have the services
of as many specialists as it may require
either for diagnosis or treatment.
One Of these clinics, at Syracuse, ~ Y
emphasizes the features that distinguish most
OF them. II includes fifteen specializing
physicians in large. well appointed build
ing. There is a department for the ear nose
and throat, one for orthopcdics and one for
general surgery. There is a highly equipped
room for minor operations. and in an inter-
eSting room in the OrthOpeljS department
plaster work is carried on for Making splints
and models, with shop for making braces
supports and all kinds of corrective appli.
anCeS.
In the basement is a gymnasium for pre- .
Ventive ana corrective exercises and for
massage and passive movements. The X
ray department. IS equipped with the latest
devices, for high frequency dathcrmy or
N-ray treatments. There is also n fine
chemical and pathological laboratory and a
complete institutional library.

did the English doctor of Lady Macbeth,

simply to destroy his professional function.
Yet in the face Of growing competition with
hospitals and dispcnsaricS and the wide

not help himself. Either he must retire or
or specialist with group clinic sooner or
later.

Brother Seeks Share of
Mrs. Beeckman's Estate
Court Orders Executors to
Show Cause Why Interest
Is Withheld

Edward R. Thomas obtained citations
in the Surrogates' Court Yesterday to
direct the executors of the estate of
his sister, Mrs. Eleanor Thomas Beck
man, who was the wife of former Gov
crnor Robert Livingston Beeckman. of
Rhode Island, to show cause why about
$50,000 which has accrued to the estate
of Mrs. Beeckman since her death last
December from the estate of her
father, Samuel Thomas, should not be
paid to her brother.
Mr.. Thomas lives at Palm Beach,
Fla. He said that his father created
certain trust funds for the benefit of
himself and his sister, Mrs. Beeckman,
the principal on the death of either to
go to their children, and if either died
leaving no issue, then the survivor was
to receive the principal. Mrs. Beck
man, who left no children, bequeathed
all of her property to her husband.
Mr.. Thomas said that his sisters share
of the estate of their father amounted
to about $4000,000, from which she
received an income of $1b0,000 a year
in her lifetime. Since her death
about $4,000 in interest has accrued.
The brother made demand on the execu-
tors of his fathers will that they pay
this money over to him, but they have
failed to do so, it is alleged.
Mr.. Thomas asks for court order
directing them to pay him the accruals.
This payment, he said, should be made
regardless of an action now pending in
the Supreme Court for judicial con-
struction of the will.

cover $4,000 damages from Police
Commissioner Richard L. Enright,
Police Captain Thomas Donahue, of the
Thirty-second Precinct. and Patrolmen
Thomas O'Connell and John Hughes
Browne alleges that the methods which
the police commissioner and his men
have used in enforcing the Mullan-
Gage law has resulted in reducing his
trade 80 per cent.
In the papers filed Browne alleges
that on May 26 last the police entered
his cafe with search warrant and
found two and half bottles of whisky.
These, the complainant asserts, were
purchased before the Volstead act was
passed and were being kept for his own
private use. Browne alleges that since
this raid Police Commissioner Enright
has kept two policemen in his cafe and
that their presence has caused fall

DiUorced Wife Whips Husband;
Ciues Policemen Hard FigIat
Invites Him to Iryst i'm Front of Store Where He
Bought Wedding Ring and Knocks Him Down;
Rccaptures Him After He Flees From Scene

James ". McAvoy is a married man,
living at s17s Park avenue, the Bronx.
Five months ago he was separated from
his wife, Henrietta. by civil court.
Yesterday evening he was separated
from her by three policemen and was
assirted to Morrisania police station,
where he described himself as an en-
gineer. The police said he looked
more like q wreck.
Henrietta is thirty-on years old and
the best umbrella swinger in the
Bronx. She is now charged with as
sault. Her husband wanted to make it
murder, but by some rare bit of for
tune he wasn't dead.
Whether her alleged attempt to
assassinate him was premeditated Nc
Avoy does not know. All he can re-
member is that when he came home
yesterday afternoon he found letter
from Henrietta awaiting him. She said
she wanted to meet him at o'clock
at Third Avenue and 149th Street. No
mention was made either of weights or
weapons. And McAvoy was for the mo-
ment deluded into thinking that she
s4eTely wanted to look once more upon
him.
Accordingly, he dressed himself in
his Sunday suit, and went to keep the
cryst. He found it to be in front Of
the jewelry store where eight years
ago, he had purchased the engagement
ring for her. 1t was beautiful
thought
Presently Henrietta emerged from a
chop suey restaurant, where she had
been taking on sustenance, and asked
him for $50. McAvoy informed her he
had sonly $40 and some small change.
Henrietta took the $40.
A few words followed and suddenly
New-York tribune., 1921-06-14

Henrietta swung her umbrella against
McAvoy's neck, knocking him down
Once down McAvoy continued to stay
that way, because every time he tried
TO rise, Henrietta knocked him down
again.
The noise of battle brought Patrol
man George Colby to the scene. Hen
rietta resented his appearance if for
no other reason than because he had
enough to hand the money and the
umbrella to q strange woman and to
roll up her sleeves. Then she sailed
into Patrolman Colby and got over sew
eral good body blows and half dozen
kicks to the shins before two more
patrolmen arrived.
In the mean time McAvoy had seized
the long awaited opportunity to get up
and had set off at a wabbly trot away
from Henrietta and everything con-
nected with her. The fact that he
from her was due solely to the other
fact that Henrietta was occupied with
a minor war of her own against the
three policemen.
AS soon as she could possibly leave
them, she did so and overlook her hus-
band. She didn't hurt him much, be-
cause the three cops grabbed her again
and because her husband was as badly
hurt as he could be without being posi-
lively ruined.
At the police station McAvoy charged
his wife with disorderly conduct. Then
some one handed him mirror, and he
changed it to assault. Mrs. McAvoy
refused to give her address, and her
husband advised the police not to ex-
cite her by insisting upon it. He, for
one, would never intrude on her
private life, anyway.

general incredulity on the part of the

said this:

WORSE THAN ANY HURRICANE
Arabian Desert Storm Obscures the
Sun-Bitter Cold Is Followed by
Intense Heat.

In the Worlds Work Thomas E..
Lawrence describes the action Of a
desert storms as follows:
"There had been long rolls of thun-
der all morning in the hills, and the
two peaks of Serd and Jasim were
wrapped In folds of dark blue and
yellow vapor that looked motionless
and substantial. A few minutes after
we had marched again, looked back
at them, and noticed that part Of the
yellow cloud off Serd was coming SLOW
ly in our direction, against the wind,
raising scores of dust devils before its
feet. The cloud was nearly as high
as the hill, and as it approached it
put out two dust-spouts, tight ana
symmetrical columns like chimmeys,
one on the right and one on the left
Of Its front.
"When it got nearer, the wind, which
had been scorching our faces with it's
hot breathing, changed suddenly, and
blew bitter cold and damp upon our
backs. 1t also increased greatly in vio-
lence, and at the same moment the sun
disappeared, blotted out by thick mists
Of yellow air over our heads. we
stood in a horrible faint light, ochre-
colored and f1tful. The brown wall
of cloud from the hills was now very
near, rushing changelessly toward US,
making a loud grinding sound, wrap
ping us in a blanket Of dust, with
large singing grains of sand In it,
twisting and turning in most violent
eddies, and meanwhile advancing
eastward at the speed Of a strong
gale"

OLD WAYS OF TELLING TIME
Early Methods Were Primitive, but
Some Sort Of Reckoning Always
Has Been Kept.

Today when we glance at our
watches and ascertain to the second
the correct time, we do not stop to
think of the first awkward methods
used by primitive man. In the earliest
days, man divided the time into TWO
periods, the day and the night. The
day was then separated into sunrise,
MONDAY and sunset, and then the
morning and afternoon were further
divided by the length and position OF
the shadows. Our first sundlal was
stick set upright in the ground and
the time was told by the length and
position of the shadows. Nearly all
ancient peoples of the world had sun
dials and with them the time was told
to the hour and the minute. The Chi
nese had them, the Romans set up
tall shadow columns with officers to
watch them and report hourly On the
length of the shadows. Even in the
Middle ages the sundial was sui used
by those poor people who could not
afford such luxuries as wafer CLOCKS
Or hour glasses.
