Absecon Again Has
Deficit To Make Up
Change In Sending High School
Pupils to Atlantic City Costs
More Than Calculated.

Absecon is again in hard luck over
its annual appropriation. Last year,
through some error credited to the
Atlantic County Board of Taxation,
there was not enough money appro-
priated, so that a deficit existed which
had to be made UP by raising a part of
it this year and a part was to be raised
next year. Now another deficit is
faced, caused by the High School stu
alton. Last year the Absecon pupils
attended Pleasantville High School,
and basing the cost on what was spent
last year Council made its %appropria-
ton for the year.
When the Board of Education made
up the budget for the coming year last
April, 1t was taken into consideration
that students from Absecon would
once again attend the school in this
city. With this thought in view they
made the total OF the budget $4,000,
which they believed ample to carry
throughout the coming year.
Now members OF the Board find that
about 35 pupils will go to high school
from Absecon this year. Instead of
paying $500 for tuition as first
thought, tuition fees will amount to
$500, making a shortage of $4,000 on
tuition. Transportation by trolley will
amount to $500, making the deficit of
$3340 in the school budget for this
year. This amount will have to be
included in the budget for the year

MADAME SCHUMANN-HEINk
WORLD-FAMED CONTRALTO.

This wonderful woman, mother and
great artist, beloved by all, particular
ly all the soldier boys of the great
World War, to whom she sang in the
camps of this country and abroad dur
ing the period of the great strife, en-
deared her to them all for the many
very pleasant times she was the
means of affording them. This was
also her pleasure, sacrificing every
thing to make the boys happy.
To the thousands of music lovers it
will be welcome news to learn that
this great artist, Ernestine Schumann-
Heink, will sing in Atlantic City on
September Ord, in the afternoon, at
the Garden Pier Theatre.
There is but one Schumann-Heink
and the glory of her art a never be
put into words. Great artist, great
woman, great personality, she ever
evokes the most enthusiastic response
from record audiences everywhere.
Repeatedly does she prove herself not
only a singer whose phenomenal voice
is a living refutation of the calendar,
but also does she give an impressive
exhibition of a technical equipment
that makes an art of a natural ex-
preston.
Her annual concert tours are a con-
~tinuous ovation, huge audiences being
held enthralled by the beauty and
power of her glorious voice. Huge
audiences come and go awed with the
majesty of the singers golden mellow
notes and charmed with the whole
someness of her heart-warming perso-
nality, and go again when she next
appears to lay their homage at the feet
of this singer immortal and super
woman

p. o. S. OF A. ACTIVE.

A real old time meeting was held in
Linwood last Thursday evening, by
the members of Washington Camp,
No. ia, p. o. S. of A. The meeting
was gotten under way early by Presi-
dent Dougherty, and there was some
thing doing every minute all the way
through. The camp was honored by a
visit from Brother Erwin Lear, of
Camp 80, of Atlantic City, who is
Cheerful Guide in the Rough Riders.
Besides this the camp obligated an
other new member. Before closing
Floyd Somers, chairman of the enter
tainment committee, both entertained
and amused the brothers by singing
one of his self-composed songs and
ending up with cracking a few of the
latest jokes. Then walking out dur
ing the midst of the loud applause, he
%reappeared with several carloads" of
ice cream and cake, which he immedi-
ately distributed around.
Thursday evening there will be an
other lively meeting, and it is hoped
that many members who only read the
doings of the camp will come out and
participate. At this next meeting the
booster committee hopes to set a date
for the p. o. S. of A. picnic which the
camDS of Atlantic COuntV- will hold in
September. The entertainment COM
mittee also expects to meet on this
date to work on the mex entertain
ment.

HirsCh's appeal to the Supreme Court of
New York for weekly alimony and counsel
fees pending divorce on the testimony of
the said witnesses. The witnesses were
quite explicit. A Mortimer NJ. Foss swore
that he knew both Mr.. and Mrs. Hirsch
personally, that he had seen the man with
the blond woman in the Thirty-seventh
street apartment, that the man was Mr..
Hirsch and that the blond woman was
certainly not Mrs. Hirsch, but "a woman
unknown to this deponent" A certain
Samuel Margules and Ira Waldstein swure
to identically the same things.
DO these three people know you, and
are they reputable?" asked the now thor.
oughly mystified Mr.. Chess.
80 far as ! know they are reputable"
answered Mr.. Hirsch, "and they do know
both me and Mrs. Hirsch by sight"
"Hum-m!" observed Mr.. Chess Have

the subway at the time you say you did.
people who could testify that you had been
there and had been delayed by a block
while all this was going on in that hat?"

defined this as consisting of his Inability
had been accustomed" Yet young Mr..
HirsCh believed that in her heart she loved
him still; that her conduct had been due
to- as he put it, influence by meddlers"
Matters had drifted along He had
made many efforts to see his truant bride,
annoying person who had approached him
a number OF times suggesting that he give
his wife cause for divorce. He had told
Mr.. Chess about this person and had de-
sCribed him. Each time, Mr.. Hirsch told
his attorney, this man had ended by threat
ening him that if he didn't give cause him.
self for divorce, he would be divorced for
cause anyway.
So matters stood on that fateful Decem-
ber 6.
The first / knew of this raid" Mr.
HirsCh broke into Mr.. Chess's abstraction,
was today" A summons server had
handed him the bad news. That very mo-
ment he had been planning a new CAM
paign, he said, to induce his wife to come
home to him. He had even been having a
rosy dream of golden wedding. Natural
ly, the summons had Jared him a bit.
And when he realized that he was accused
Of a very shocking Offense, and that un-
less he could clear himself his wife's de-
mands for freedom, heavy counseps fees
and weekly alimony for the rest of her
life would in all probability be granted, he
began to experience the symptoms of vio-
lent headache as we'll as heartache.
Dropping all of his work. he had hurried
down town to consult his attorney.
"Well," said Mr.. Chess, obviously a
man can't be in two places at once. You
weren't The man in the fiat. Nevertheless
1t is plain that 1t was the object Of those
who staged the raid to make people believe
it was you. You have been framed'-and
framed with an extraordinary ingenuity
and thoroughness. Well, let us find out
first who has those apartments where The
raid took place"
So that same afternoon the lawyer sent
an investigator to the raided apartment to
look over the ground and report every
thing he could disCover-who owned the
place, were there any blond women there
and anything else he could learn. This in
vcstigatOr was Mr.. Chess's brother, Maui
rice. a very shrcwd young man who pre-
tended to the occupants Of the premises
that he wanted to rent the apartment. In
this way he discovered that the man who
lived there was a Jacob Berkowitz. The
name meant nothing at first, but as soon
as he met Berkowitz, young Chess re-
called the description Of the mysterious
stranger who HirsCh had said had threat
ened him with involuntary divorce pro-
ceedings. He noticed a similarity Of ap-
pearance.
Grnni R-iI atn Ri-hi- pr.nrrnl
The Washington times., 1922-05-21

He cultivated Berkowitzs acquaintance
by also pretending that he wanted some
insurance, which is Berkowitz's nominal
business, and little by little, he says, he
wormed into his confidence. Berkowitz
discovered that Chesss brother was
lawyer, and young Chess declares that he
discreetly brought up the subject of manu-.
featured divorce evidence.
Then Berkowitz told him, says Maurice,
that he was in position to frame" evi-
dence on any man or woman in the city
Of New York, and that If his brother had
any difficult cases he could help him out!
Chess showed great enthusiasm and
asked Berkowitz to drop into his brothers
office and talk things over. The invitation
was accepted and Berkowitz, so it is
averred, visited the lawyers office that
afternoon.
Lawyer Chesss office is divided into
four rooms-one large library, a reception
room and two offices, side by side One
of these adjoining rooms is his private
office. Through a freak in acoustics, if a
the private offices a cabinet can be used as
a sounding board, and every word that is
uttered will be carried through the tran
som into the library, where It is plainly
audible.
Berkowitz, says Attorney Chess, was
seated in this exact spot for the confer
ence. Young Chess retired from the room
and stood near the door where he could,
hear every scrap of the conversation.
With him was Mr.. Hirsch, WHO had been
concealed in the next office.
Lawyer Chess fidded about and finally
started the conversation on divorce cases.
IF the law in this State wasn't so strict"
he said, 81 could get a lot Of divorce busi-
ness. Lots of my clients want divorce,
only their husbands and wives behave
themselves so well that there isn't a
chance to get the evidence"
That's easy" Rerkowitz is reported to
have replied. Give me 1900 and photo
graph of the man or woman you want to
involve. and I'll give you all the evidence
you want within two weeks time. don't
care Wn6tneT IL s q man OF a woman, lnnO-
cent or not, we get them-dead or alive!"
THAT is a very unusual statement" was
Lawyer Chess's reply, as given in the evil
dence, "how can you prove that?"
Easy" Berkowitz Is alleged to have re-
torted. Take the case of Sydney Hirsch,
for instance. We got his description and
! had one of my actors make up to look
Just like him.
ut was a hCh," Mr.. Berkowitz is re.
ported to haN ! continued with enthusiasm.
"All the actor needed was a wig and pair
Of horn.rimmed glasses. When he got
through fixing himself up he was Sydney
Hirsch. No one could have told them
apart
81 had another man following Hirsch
We found out that he took more than an
hour in getting home from work. He
drifted around looking in windows and
stopping in stores where he was not recog.
nized. When we had checked his move
ments pretty we'll planted the actor in
the room with one Of my girls and called
The Washington times., 1922-05-21

in the witnesses. The girl screamed: oh.
Sydney Hirsch,' and to this day you
couldn't convince the witnesses that they
hadn't stumbled on the real thing 1t was
pretty slick.
"Of course, it wouldn't have done to
have had the actor stand there gawking at
the witnesses, so he scrambled into bed
the minute he was sure they had a good
look at his face. Then he pulled the GOV.
ers over his head and waited until they
had left the room.
Now the evidence is copperbound,
brass-riveted stuff that you cant beat. And
Sydney Hirsch can't beat it, either When
the case comes up he is going to get stung
good and plenty. And can frame up any
body else the same way"
That is, in substance, what Lawyer
Chess swears Berkowitz said TO him.
When Mr.. Chess had heard everything
he wanted to know he promised he saws,
to call Berkowitz at the first opportunity
and ushered'him out of the office. But as
soon as he had stepped into the elevator
the lawyer grabbed his hat and coat and
made bee-line for the office OF District
Attorney Joab Banton, of New York.
When he burst into the office OF the Dis.
trict Attorney with his story the prosecut-
ors thought he was out of his senses.
They had heard of many queer lodges to
beat the divorce laws, but nothing like
this.
Why, if this were true, it meant that for
5000 down any man who happened to be
tired of his wife could arrange to have her
character ruined by gang of rascals who
broke up homes for $1,000 apiece.
The wife might be as innocent as an
angel and perfectly devoted to her hus-
band, her children and her home. II
would make no difference In two weeks
time after the first payment was made her
unsCrupulous husband could obtain "evi-
dence" that would not only mean quick
divorce, but evidence" that would deny
her a penny of alimony and leave her to
face the world with shattered reputation
as we'll
In the same way any wife whose hus-
Ddnu DOIeu neT, no matter how faithful he
had been, could buy evidence" for 5000
down that would guarantee her fat ali.
mony and perfect freedom as long as she
lived!
Under this system the strict New York
divorce laws become a joke. In place Of
the one cause for divorce there were a
million. Does your husband dance badly?
Does he eat with his knife? Is he too
short, or too thin. or too fat? Is he stingy
with his allowance? Does he expect YOU
to cook his dinner? All right Pay 5000
down and live on alimony the rest Of your
life.
The irritating traits of some wives could
be disposed of in the same easy manner.
Does she bore you with her talk of tho
butcher, the baker and the price of round
steak? See the divorce syndicate" What
a surprise she will get when she reads
that she was trapped in disrcputable sit
uation especially when she knows she was
shopping at the time! But how can she
prove that?
The nearest analogy to the lawyers
story was the case of Herbert Miller who
was accused Of posing as Judge and sign.
ing bogus divorce DEGREES some time ago.
But that was simply a swindle, while this
lawyer was trying to tell them that syn.
