Under Duress.

NEW YORK. July 6.-Frank r.
Clark. of 191 Washington Park,
Brooklyn. having paid the United
States Government $3.50, ,69493 as a
part of his income tax returns for
the year 1917. yesterday filed suit in
the United States District Court in
Brooklyn, seeking the return of this
sum, which he claims was paid under
duress and a threat by the Govern
ment to sell his property.

tor Bartram c. Gardner, who Is made
defendant, charges Mr.. Clark based
his rturns at stock value as OF
March. 1913. when he should have
recorded an increased and disposed OF

According to Assistant United
States Attorney Frederick L. Kopff,
who filed the Governments answer to
the suit, the charge is made that Mr.

Mr.. Clark says he made no profit

He paid an income tax as of Decem-

N. Y. Woman Says Mate Van

tai tangle. with sister arrayed
against sister, was disclosed by the
issuance yesterday of a decree OF
divorce to George II. Purdy, OF
Yorktown. from his wife, Eva who
is alleged to have eloped with her
sisters husband.
Justice Arthur s. Tompkins

reside. Testimony was given ac-
cusing Mrs. Purdy OF vanishing in
an automobile and stealing her
sisters husband. Loren c. Johnson,
OF Yorktown, who disappeared with
Mrs. Purdy on March 81. 1920.
Purdy is thirty three and his
missing wife thirty. It was testi-
fed that Mrs. Purdy received visits
from her sisters husband. Johnson,
at her home in Yorktown. and that
afterward they left town in John
sons car.
The defendants sister, Mrs. John
son, was called as a witness to help
Purdy to divorce her sister. A Yonk-
ers policeman aided the plaintiffs
case materially by his testimony.
He testified TO arresting Johnson In
the missing automobile in the COM
pany of a woman for speeding through
the public streets of Yonkcrs. He
took look at Mrs. Johnson and then
said he was positive that she was not

David s. Murden. OF Peekskill, who
is Purdy's counsel brought out that
he had searched ten different States
for the missing wife and automobile
owned by Johnson, but that there
were no automobile license records in
any of these States that would af-
ford a clew to the whereabouts of
the missing automobile or the van
ished couple.

ND. WOMEN ORGANISTS
FORM BRANCH OF GUILD

BALTIMORE, Nd. July 6.-The or
position of male organists of Mary
land to the admission of women to
the local chapter OF the American
Guild of Organists has led to inter
vention by the headquarters of the
national guild, and privileges have
been granted to the women organ
lists of the State through the forrna-
tion of a separate chapter. Warden
Victor Batter, of New York, Secretary
Comstock and Treasurer Martin, Of
the national guild. organized the new
chapter. A charter for the Baltimore
chapter will be issued shortly. Of
fcers were chosen as follows: Mar
garet 2. Ingle, dean: Mrs. Eunece Ap-
sey. subdean; Rose Mary Barry. sec
retary. and Mrs. sheperd Powell.
treasurer.
When Warden Baier approached
the members of the Maryland Chap
ter and explained that under their
charter and the rules of the national
organizati tion there was no authority
to refuse admittance to women. he
was told that adverse votes would
keep women from membership. AMI
that these votes would surely be cast
against applicants. In the face Of
this refusal Warden Baier called the
women together and on June 10 or
ganized the new guild. With this
organization, Maryland is the only
State that has two chapters. While
the new body is primarily for the
women organists, it's membership is
also open to men. II consists of
