with him was that he had an in

MOslem Law Still Permits
Plural Wives, Says Fuad

NEW YORK, April Twenty
five traffic policemen and ten pa
trolmen were at the pier, today,
when DR.. Fuad Bey, of the Angora
Assembly, and former Turkish min
lister of health and child welfare,
arrived on the liner Aquatania.
Nearly 200 Turks gathered at the
pier to meet their fellow country
man and followed him, in a pro-
cession of twenty-six automobiles,
to his hotel.
Dr. Fuad explained that while,
under the new civil law promul-
gated by the National Assembly,
Mohammedans may have only one
wife, religious marriages are not
restricted and one may still have
as many wives as he feels he needs.
Religious marriages are still recog-
nized by civil law, he said.
Economic conditions in Turkey
are now such, however, that few
men can afford to have more than
one wife" he said.
DIR. Fuad said he had come to
the United States to thank Turks
here for their aid to the 1000
Turkish children made orphans by
the country's wars. He also will
study social, educational and bust
ness methods of America, he said.

THINK MONEY AIDED
CHAPMAN'S ESCAPE
Daring Mail Bandit Still at
Large After Third Jail
Break.

ATHENS, Ga, April with
hour following hour toward the
third dawn since Gerald Chapman,
super daring mail robber, made his
latest break for liberty, search for
him tonight in large part steadied
to careful and closemouthed
study of his actions when last in
custody, a desperately wounded and
supposedly helpless man. The pur-
pose is to determine from what
source If any he received aid.
Though the search for the mil
lion dollar New York mail bandit
himself apparently has been fruit
less, Federal officials seemed con-
fident that developments would
come speedily, possibly within two
or three days, and Chapman him
self would be captured again.
William J. Burns, head of the
Bureau OF Investigation of the De-
partment Of Justice, who aided In
the inquiry before leaving tonight
for Los Angeles to continue inVesti-
cation of radical activities, express
ed the conviction that Chapman s
path to freedom in every one of his
three dashes since week ago
Monday, had been smoothed by lib
eral use Of money.
Burns intimated also the revela-
ton OF a gigantic hoax in connec-
ton with the escapes.
Athens police despaired Of finding
Chapman in the vicinity Of the
general hospital, from which he
staggered early Friday morning, or
in Athens, every nook and Granny
of which has been searched, they
said.

HALL GUARDS LIQUOR.
AGAINST BURGLARS.
Posts Armed Men to Protect
$4,000 Worth of Goods
Restored by Court.
DRY AGENTS MAY TRY AGAIN
Prohibition Force Looks Over
Supply, But Makes No
New Move.

Fearful that rum-burglars may
attempt to steal $4,000 worth of
choice WHISTLES, wines and other
liquors which were returned to
him yesterday by order Of court,
frank p. Hall, near-beer saloon
proprietor, 1000 Seventh street
outhwest. last night placed armed
yards in the room where the bever.
ges were stored.
Like a flash news Of the return
+ the choice liquor reached boot
leg circles. All Halls stock, pr.
vate he claims. is pre-war manu-
facture, and could be readily mar
keted at high prices.
ARMED GUARD POSTED.
Realizing this, Mr.. Hall has taken
no chances. Preparatory to resum.
ing custody of the liquor. he en-
ployed watchmen, armed with auto.
mates, to guard the precious stuff
against the intrusion Of bandits. He
declared himself more afraid OF rob-
bers than of another raid by pro-
hibition agents.
The return of the liquors to
Hall, yesterday, was due to q
faulty search warrant under which
it was seized. The warrant called
for search of 1000 Seventh street
southwest" but the agents raideo
an outside house, known as 636 *
street southwest, in which the
whiskey was stored in sealed
room.
COURT SUSTAINS OWNER.
Claiming that the search and
seizure were illegal, Attorney Dan
iel Thew Wright, representing Hall
was upheld by Judge Robert Mat
tingly, in Police Court. The pro
hibition authorities were ordered tc
return it.
The Government appealed the
case. Judge Mattingly's decision
was upheld by the District Court
of Appeals. On Friday, Judge Mat
tingly again ordered the return OF
the liquors and this been done.
In the assortment are 436 quarts
of whiskey. thirty.six quarts OF
champagne. III bottles Of cognac
brandy, rum, creme de menthe, two
cases of gin; 116 pints of wf1iskeY
forty-eight cases of beer, and hun
1reds OF quarts of miscellaneous
alcoholic beverage.
RETURNED WHENCE TT CAME
Since its seizure the WHISTLES and
other liquors were held in the ware
house Of the Bureau of Internal
Revenue, Pennsylvania avenue near
Fourteenth street. 1t was returned
to the same building from which II
had been taken by Charles VIII
Iiams, custodian OF the warehouse,
and l.. M. Luckett and B. f.
Ewing.
Soon after the liquor had been
checked by the revenue men and
F. NJ Goode, friend of Mr.. Hall
J. e. Jones, deputy commissioner
Of internal revenue, accompanied
by Assistant Chief Of Agents w. III

been taken

WOMEN IN HOT
DISPUTE OVER
MONROE SL0VE
Great Granddaughter Of For
mer President Here Denies
He Ever lifted Rich Beauty
NEW YORKER SCORES NAME.
Mrs. Van Rensselaer, Says He
Was Villain and Threatens
to Make Complete Exposure
By RTLLA ENCLE.

Was James Monroe, fifth Presi-
dent Of the United States and
author of the Monroe doctrine,
worthy to be numbered among
the nations heroes?
Or was he an interruptions adj
venturer Of obscure origin, who
ruthlessly deserted q trusting
woman at the altar, leaving her
to suffer, uncontrolled, the pangs
of the Tilted? Was he q gam
bier in private, who sought, by
marriage, to secure funds TO pay
his debts Of honor?
WOMAN OPENS CAMPAIGN.
A regular broadside against the
fair name of Monroe has been
launched by Mrs. King Van Rsns-
selaer, of New York, one OF the
founders OF the Society Of Colonial
Danes and q well known historian.
IN letter to Mrs. Rosa GOuveFnsur
Hoes, Of Washington, q great.graud.
daughter OF the one-time President.
Recently Mrs. Hoes took e1cep-
ton to certain published statements
OF Mrs. Van Rensselaer, that Mon
roe had been greatly over-rated,
that he had falsely promised to
wed. certain Miss Anne Brown, OF
New York, and had failed to keep
his appointment to meet her ct the
church. Also that, after all, he was
OF but Obscure origin" and en-.
tireIy unworthy OF the respect and
admiration Of his countrymen.
GIRL WAS BEAUTY.
The beautiful Miss Brown. whom
Monroe is accused OF having de-
serted. was, Mrs. Van Rensselaer,
writes, friend OF her own grand
mother and told her the same Story
at the same time displaying q faded
wedding bouquet, tenderly laid
away in q trunk, and bequeashing
her the betrOthaI ring Monroe had
given her along with much-prizsd
miniature Of her faithless Iover.
Mrs. Hoes has completely denied
that Monroe knew any Miss Anne
Brown, of New York, or that the
miniature could possibly have been
his.
She claims that the lady to whom
Monroe at one time paid desperate
court was a. Miss Christine Wyn-
coop, and that she, Miss Wyncoops
had turned down the offer Of his
hand and heart.
Mrs. Van Rensselaer, makes this
somewhat curt reply:
'.Since you have never seen the
miniature, now in my possession,
and cannot possibly remember
Monroe as q young man. this state
ment-that he had never met Miss
Brown and the miniature was not
his-must be groundless."
The fair New Yorker who re-.
manned Miss Brown" until her
death, according to Mrs. Van Rens-
selaer, never forgot her hero, and
remembered him tenderly on her
deathbed.
The following is from Mrs. Van
Rensse1aer's recent letter:
Miss Brown wore Monroe's ring
until on her deathbed, them she
gave it to my grandmother, Mrs.
William A. Duer, wife of the presi-
dent of Columbia College, who wore

personnel research foundation with
which there are affiliated % re-
search organizations of national re-
pute. In addition, members of this
bureau are associated in a number
of other research organizations.
Through this bureau a helpful coop
erative relationship is being promoted
with industrial managerial and per-
sonnet research engineers. This
movement is only in its inception, but
it is fast maturing into an important
function of the trade union move
ment.
Within the past year the Ameri-
can Federation has created a legal
information bureau. Because of the
concerted and ever-increasing on
slaught made upon the trade union
movement by employers through the
courts and legislatures, and which at
tacks are directed against the funda-
mental rights and vital functions Of
trade unions, it was deemed impera-
tive that a careful survey and analy-
sis be made of all law and judicial de-
cisions affecting the rights of labor.
Helpful Advice Offered.
It is the further purpose of this
bureau to prepare such statements
and issue such advice and instruction
as will be helpful in all future litiga-
ton and to give such legal advice as
will protect and promote best the
rights of the wage earners and their
trade unions. 1t is not intended that
the American Federation of Labor
shall undertake to provide counsel
for trade unions involved in litiga-
ton. However, it is the purpose,
through this bureau, to secure the CO.
operation and coordinate the activi-
ties of such lawyers as are sympa-

ployed from time to time to defend
the rights Of labor.
