Tricker Thinks He Can GiUe
Authentic Color.

Chick Thicker, ex-pugilist, ex-saloon
keeper and survivor of the days when
the Whyo gang ran on the Bowery. is
going into the movies. Chick hasn't
signed up yet but he said yesterday
he is ready to pack up and start for
Hollywood as soon as he gets a salts
factory offer
Chick admitted he had been dickering
for a contract noc so much because
he needs the money-Chick is reputed
TO have cleaned up half a million in
the old free days-but because there
has been so much bunk put over on
the public as "Bowery stuff"
Honest" Chick said as he sat in
reminiscent mood in his little flat at
SO Bayard street. just around the corner
from Chatham Square. Honest. they
make me sick. They may fool some
people but they don't fool the Bowery.
W've got movie houses down here and
we want pictures with plenty of gun
play and action. but. on the level. what
we sec only makes us laugh. Its the
bunk"
Chick will not act in the films: he
will be a sort of advising director on
underworld lore. How much? Well,
Chick said. $3.50 week ought to be

S7,214,OOO BRONX
MARKET FAVORED
Estimate Boards Committee
Goes on Record for O'Mal-
ley's Plan Despite Craig.

For a project denounced by Comptrol-
Ter Craig as consisting largely of 'hot
air" the Committee of the Whole of the
Board of Estimate voted yesterday to
recommend to that body the appropria-
ton Of $7,214,000. 1t consists OF an
elaborate plan by Market Commissioner
O'Nalley for a terminal market on the
easterly side of the Harlem River, be-
tween 149th street and McComb's Dam
Bridge, the Bronx.
The Comptroller and Borough Presi-
dent Connolly of Queens refrained from
voting, but other members, including
Acting Mayor Murray Hurlbert, put the
proposition over. A demand is likely at
the meeting Of the Board of Estimate on
Friday 10 postpone final action until
Mayor Hylan's return. He was quoted
as favoring the project. but there was
some suspicion expressed that other
members of the board were trying to
put something over" in his absence.
Commissioner O'Malley said 1t would
cost the city $1.0S2,000 to operate the
market, while the annual revenue would
be $1,155,790.
Commissioner O'Malley would buy
land at cost of over $2,000,00O, build
a Wholesale market for $2,OOO,OOO more,
a retail market with roof garden on
top) for $4,000, fish market for
sl29.O0O and poultry market for
s62 900. The plan provides for piers to
accommodate ocean-going ships, al
though 1t Is stated there Is not more
tlan ten feet of water in the river at
that point.
The proposition has been before the
board for nearly a year and the esti-
mates prepared by Commissioner
Whalen Of the Department of Plant and
Structures have been scaled down from
over $40 100000 to the figure given
Yesterday.

BAN ON NPARENTS SHE
SEEKS SEPARATION
DR.. H. NJ. Potter, Charged With
Cruelty, Says Wife Tore All
Buttons From His Vest.

Mrs. Sarah C. Potter applied to
Justice Platt, at White Plains. yes
terday for alimony and counsel fees
pending the trial of her suit for
separation from DR.. Howard NJ. Potter,
a dentist of 133 West Seventy-second
street. whose home is in Riverside
Manor. Hastings, n. Y. Mrs. Potter
alleges cruelty. charging that her hus-
band would not let her visit her parents.
According to papers submitted by her
lawyer, Dr. Potter owns a house worth
$4,000 and has an income of $4,000 a
year.
Among other things Mrs. Potter
alleges that in January. 1921, her hus-
band forbade her father and mother to
visit them. and that in February of
the same year he told her he did not
love her and wished he could get rid
of her. On November 10. 1921. she said,
he struck her in the face with his fist.
DR.. Potter. through his attorneys. told
the court that the whole trouble was
brought about because his wife's
parents were against their marriage
and had done everything they could to
prevent it. In his affidavit the dentist
says:
'At the time of our marriage I did
forbid my wife to visit her mother and
father, and at that time 1t was mutu-
ally agreed between us that she would
do so. for the following reasons: The
plaintiffs mother was bitterly opposed
to our marriage; plantiffs mother
never gave any reason for her unwill-
ingness to have her daughter marry
me, except that she did not wish to
have her marry any one; shortly prior
to our marriage plaintiffs mother after
an unpleasant and tempestuous scene.
directed both plaintiff and myself to
leave her house and never to return"
DR.. Potter said he told his wife that
IL she constantly brought up the sub
ject of her mother it would kill his
love for her. He said that on one oc-
cason he tried to pacify her and she
tore all the buttons from his vest. He
sewed them on himself, he said.

NEW TRIAL FOR NEGRO
PREACHER-CHAUFFEUR
Court Acts on Letter From
Juror Accusing Another.

A new trial was granted yesterday to
Henry Stanley, 80. of 2O63 Madison ave-
nue.. a negro with license to preach
on Sundays and another to drive truck
on weeks days, who was convicted Of
grand larceny two weeks ago. Judge
Thomas c. T. Grain in General Sessions
based his action upon the fact that the
verdict of the jury had been Influenced
by derogatory statements not brought
out on the witness stand.
Judge Grain received a letter from
one of the jurors stating that his judg-
ment had been influenced by Leonard
Wass of 10S East 10th street. who. the
letter said, tol6a the other Jurors that
he had overheard an Assistant District
Attorney saying the defendant had a
criminal record. Judge Grain ruled that
inasmuch as this was not brought out
in court 1t should not have been con-
sidered by the jury.
Stanley was convicted OF participating
in the theft of sixty-five barrels of
sugar from the Coca Cola Company, 800
West Thirty-seventh street. the firm
that employed him as a chauffeur. After
granting the new trial Judge Grain
fixed bail at $500.

Regiment in France under Col. William

RaIoh A. Day, State Prohibition Di-
rector lsjd to an inside job yesterday
an attempted robbery of 240 barrels
of confiscated whisky from ware
house at 154 West Nineteenth street,
which was halted Sunday night by
agents on his staff. Mr.. Day said his
men had been watching the warehouse
for ten days.
The warehouse is a five story L
shaped building with frontages on
Seventh avenue and Nineteenth street,
the Seventh avenue side being occu-
pied by the Exporters Terminal Ware
house. The thieves broke through a
two foot brick wall which separates
the two sections, cutting hole six feet
by six on the third floor.
They hauled barrels from the sec
ond floor of the warehouse to the third
floor to get them into the other build
ing. Entrance was made from the
Seventh avenue side. The lock on the
Nineteenth stree: door had not been
tampered with.
Guided by Suspicious Noises.
Agents Gruenwald and Kornack were
passing the warehouse about midnight
Sunday when they heard suspicious
sounds. They called the West Thirtieth
street police station.
When patrolmen arrived the building
was deserted. Coats. overalls and other
clothing scattered about indicated that
there had been at least a dozen men
in the party. 1t is thought that the
thieves fed over the roof tops.
Forty of the barrels had been taken
from the second floor of the bonded
warehouse to the third, lifted through
the hole in the wall and taken by an
elevator to the first floor of the Ex-
4 porters Warehouse. Other barrels had
