Home All Cluttered UP
With 'sIn-Laws,' - He Says
Brooklyn Man Begs Courts Aid
TO Get Rid of His Wife's
Rel1igerenf Faruily

BY way Of answer to his wife's suit
for separation, Frank G. Neary, of 56s
Prospect Place, Brooklyn, asked the
Supreme Court in that borough yester-
day to rid his home of his wife's reia-
tives. If that were done, he said, the
differences between himself and his
wife would adjust themselves.
The whole trouble, he said, was that
his house was SO cluttered up with in
laws and with the cots, cribs and
cradles Of the children Of the in-laws
that it was no better than lodging
house. He enumerated his visitors as
his mother-in-law, Johanna Saul; his
brother-in~law, Harry Saul; Harry
Saul's wife, Catherine; another sister
in-law, Wilhelmina Hulzmachen, the
two Hulzma chen children and, now and
then, their father.
His brother-in-law he described as
"a powerful and belligerent man." and,
though he offered no description of his
mother-in-law, he remarked that once
she poked him in the stomach with a
revolver and threatened to pull the
trigger.
"If the court will only get my wife's
relatives out" he said, "and allow me
to live with my wife and babies alone
I will be ever so thankful

in trying to handle them unless you

"They are forging everything" de-
clared Mr.. Kramer. Bottled in bond

Another question brought an esti~
mate that there are in the United
States to-day between 35,o00,0o0 and
40,000,000 gallons of whisky.
Mr.. Kramer declared that the great
need IS an aid to enforcement is pre-
vention of tho export of liquor to Cuba,
Canada and other countries. "They
ship it over one day and bring it back
the next" he said.
There are three distilleries now max
ing whisky, he stated, and added: ~

Mr.. Kramer also admitted upon a
question: "There never was position
in the history Of the government. such
as that of commissioner, where d man
could use his job for such political
purposes and for other crooked things

Tell Police of Strange
Activities Near Where
McCilvary Was Found
sDeeia Dispatch to The Tribune

BOSTON, May i3.--An arrest will be
made soon, police admitted to-day, in
connection with the death of Lieu
tenant Patton G. McGiIvary, war hero
and aviator, found IN q Back Bay
alley with four bullett wounds in his
body, and at first thought to have
killed himself.
1t was admitted also that at least
two persons had been found with suffi-
Gent information to swing the death
theory in the case from suicide to muir
der. This information was understood
to be concerning "the placing Of some
thing in the alley" between Garrison
and Harcourt Streets where the body
was found.
Mrs. Evelyn Clifford and her husband,
G. H. Clifford jr., Of 10 Queensberry
Street, Back Bay, were two of the per-
sons questioned to-day at the Back
Bay station.
Eleven other persons interested in
the case were summoned to the Back
Bay station. The examination Of Mr..
and Mrs. Clifford and the eleven other
persons was a complete surprise to-day,
although the murder theory had been
gaining support.
Additional statements were for-h-
coming to-day from relatives Of friends
Of the dead aviator in refutation of .he
suicide supposition. J. r. Whitman,
close friend Of McGilvary, asserts that
the aviator was in good spirits the day
before his death.
Medical Examiner Leary is quoted
as admitting it might have been case
Of murder, although present indica.
tions point to suicide.
Professor Evander B. McGilvary. of
the University of Wisconsin. father of
the aviator, who left for Madison, Wis,
last night, with the body of his son,
holds to the belief that the young man
was victim of foul play.
Il believe my son was murdered and
shall leave nothing undone TO learn
all the facts in the case" he said.

Commissioner John r. Kramer, discuss
ing the difficulties of dry law enforce
ment at the Volstead bill hearing be-
fore the House Judiciary Committee
to-day. said that the Withdrawals of
liquor under medical permits for other
uses had assumed serious proportions.
Home brew and "the fellow who carries
a half pint on his hip" are not taken
seriously, the Commissioner said. 1t is

porting and dealing in liquors who pre-
sents difficult problem to enforcement

The committee also heard two
physicians, DR.. Howard A. Kelly,
surgeon at Johns Hopkins Hospital,
and Dr.. James NJ. Fl. Rowland, pro.
lessor at the University of Maryland.
Both denied that beer was medicine.
They said they had never prescribed it,
or seen it prescribed. Both decried
the efforts of previous witnesses to put
the question up to the country's
physicians.
Dr. Rowland, answering question
whether beer didn't account for the
stature and longevity of the German
people. replied:

| am baby specialist and I work at
the front end of life. / do know that
beer, or any fluid containing alcohol,
is bad for babies"
Beer Ruins Appetites, He Says
Dr.. Kelly said that beer ruined
rather than improved appetites.
Mr.. Kramer said his experiences
would not justify transfer of the pro
hibition unit to the Department of
Justice. Secretary of the Treasury
Mellon favors such action, Mr.. Kramer
indicated, and added, "The past year
should not be looked upon as an indi-
cation of what is ahead as far as en-
forcement is concerned"
"The fault of the thing during the
past year does not rest with the law,
but with the administration of the
law" Commissioner Kramer said.
sThat's the trouble. I'll be perfectly
frank with you"
In taking the stand Mr.. Kramer asked
that his views be not taken as from
one representing the Treasury Depart
ment.
~ do not know what the views of the
Secretary of the Treasury are" he said,
"for l have not talked with him.
"There is one beauty in the bill be-
ing considered by the committee. 1t
goes to the source of things. The sue
cess of the administration of the law
depends on how close we can get to the
source. It's no use leaving the door
open for the horse to run away and
then try to catch him. We should close
the door.

Attorney General rendered an opinion
in which he laid down certain funda-
mental principles we would not need

Testimony that District Attorney
Charles B. Andrus Of Saratoga County,
now on trial here for neglect of duty,
received protection money from the
firm Of Jules Formel for the privilege
Of operating gambling house in
South Broadway, Saratoga Springs, was
given at his trial to-day by John r.
Ward, Of New York City.
Ward declared he had been a partner
Of Forrei, who is now in Dannemora
Prison, and the privileges bought were
for the summer Of 1919. At one time
during that summer, Ward said. he had
complained to the District Attorney be-
cause police guard had been placed
outside the gambling establishment.
On that occasion difference in an
alleged payment to Andrus was checked
up from q book the latter took from
his safe. Witnesses testified the earn
ings of the house on one evening were
$1,000 and on another $4,000. An
drus's share Of the first night men
toned was Sl,365, of which Andrus
claimed he had received only $685.. The
difference, Ward alleged, had been kept
by Formel.
The name of the District Attorney
was further linked with the Formed
establishment by Benny Russell, also of
New York. who admitted he was a
partner with Ward and Formel. Rus
sell said he tried to regain his invest
ment Of $4,000 from Formed, and that
$4,000 was returned to him in Andrus's
office while the latter was present.
Former proprietors of poolrooms in
Saratoga Springs declared tire police
frequented their places, but they did
not interrupt business. The Rev
George C. Douglass, Of Plattsburgb
former pastor of church in Saratoga
Springs, testified that during 1919 he
complained to the District Attorney OF
gambling on the part of youths of his
church. and asked Andrus to take ac-
ton.
Andrus, Mr.. Douglass declared, re-
piled the latter must be mistaken
about place he mentioned because
the police had reported there was no
gambling there.
