HAIRPIN MAGNATE HELD
FOR NOT PAYING ALIMONy

TRENTON, Sept. 6:-Archibaid
G.. Smith, wealthy hairpin manufac-
turer of Buffalo and L~ambertvilie,
N. j., has been committed ito the
common JAIL here by Vice Chancel-
Tor Buchanan for contempt of court.
Smith will appeal the case to the
court of errors and appeals, and so
Will not have to serve any time IN
the local "hoos-gow' until he has
had a chance to win another legal
battle.
The court held him in contempt
for failing to pay his wife 1926 a
month alimony. in accordance with
the courts order. Smith, it is I'M
derstood, attacks the binding force
of the alimony figure on the ground
that it was arrived at by an agree
ment between him and his wife,
made under the direction of an ar
bltraNr, and not the court. To
violate that agreement, he asserts,
Is not contempt of court. The COM
m1ttment to jail was for an indef-
mite period, until the defendant
should be "purged of the contempt"
