MADISON
Gypsies Cause Excitement


Considerable excitement was
created Monday morning at the An
son end of the Madison and Arson
bridge by a big band of gypsies.
numbering fifty or more. The party
were travelling in six automobiles,
bearing Illinois number plates, part
of the band hailing from Chicago.
The party came to this place from
Bingham and were met by Sheriff
Moore of Skowhegan with Deputies
Tuscan Of Scion, Gipson of Bingham,
and Merrill of Madison. 1t was
charged that members of the band
broke into q house at Scion and
stole a small sum of money. After
considerable parley the leader of the
band settled and they left for Farm
ington after being emphatically told
by the officers that they could not
stay in this vicinity.
Riding in Cadillacs and Marmons,
six cars, with nearly 60 gypsies ar
rived in Arson Monday morning on
their way to Pennington. Their
progress was interrupted here by
the complaint of Mrs. j. H. Atwood
of Bingham, enforced by an officer
from that town cooperating with Of
ficer Merrill of Madison. Mrs. At
wood stated that an old woman and
some of the other gypsies came to
her home begging Sunday morning;
that she gave them 50; that Sunday
evening several of them came to the
house and stole six dollars in cash
and several articles. Settlement was
effected, the gypsies paying ten dol
lars and going on their way rejoic-
ing. 1t is thought these may be the
band of gypsies driven out of Ban

Recalls His Childhood Days When She Was His Stand by, Then Brands Him as Blackguard and Unnat- ural Parent-Wife Seeks Divorce.

New York, March 15.--A mothers denunciation of her son for his al- leged unfaithfulness to his wife and neglect of his little daughter was in cluded in the divorce complaint filed yesterday by Mrs Grace E. Crawford, 11220 Myrtle avenue. Richmond Hill, in the supreme court, in Brooklyn.
 The defendant is Samuel Kirke Crawford, formerly vice-president of the American Reinsurance Co, and now an insurance broker in Pitts burgh.
 According to Mrs. Crawford's affi- dayit, her mother-in law, Mrs. Charles E. Hardin, sent her a copy of lN- ter she wrote her son after the sepa- ration. It follows:
 'I wonder how you like living for your own sensual pleasure, with no regard for the bleeding hearts and ruined lives of your wife, daughter, mother and others

 "I would cheerfully law down Aly life to get such words from you again.
 We might all have been so happy in real true way, but for this devil which again has it's clutches on my baby. Are you going to be strong enough to loose it's claws, or must wonder---I wonder until am almost crazy.
 Don't you really care for the things which all men hold dear? Is the devils clutch so strong that it can crush out all semblance of real man?'
 Mrs. Crawford says she and Cra-- ford were married in St. Louis in 1910 and have daughter, Grace Amelia, nine. She gives Crawford's income as s12,000 year and asks of S450 month pending trial and s1,00o counsel fees.
 Improper conduct with woman to Mrs Crawford is charged in the complaint, at 200 Columbia and S1 Irving Place, Brook lyn, and at an unidentified apartment in Flatbush.
 According to an affidavit by Mrs. Crawford's father, George A. Eberle, Crawfords mother was with him and Mrs. Crawford in the raiding party that discovered Crawford and the woman in the Flatbush apartment Sept. 19, 1919. At that time, Eberle says, Mrs. Hardin pleaded with her son to change his ways and took the woman into another room for long talk. Crawford became very angry on this occasion, the affidavit states.

 passed Record

Mexico City March 15,--Actors and actresses in New York who pride themselves on 100 or 200 nights of continuous performances receive scant consideration from Maria Conesa, Spanish actress, who with a run in this city well launched into its fifth year. has decided to take vacation and visit the home folks back in Spain.
 Miss Concsa has established rec ord unioue in local theatrical circles.
New Britain herald., 1923-03-15

The actress record has not been made in one theater. She has appeared in every large playhouse in the city and her only nights off have been when her company moved from one house to anotheps It is now pro- posed to build new theater and name it after her.
 She maintains her own staff Of play wrights and assists in staging her own shows, most of which are of the mus sical comedy variety. For more than four years she has presented three new

Easily the most popular actress who ever trod the boards in the Mexican capital, she has amassed wealth and achieved fame, and when she departed for Spain she was followed to Vera Cruz by a trainload Of admirers who showered her with gifts and tearfully cntreated her to speed her return. And the irony of the situation is that Miss Conesa has been stage failure both in Spain. her own country, and in the United States.

brought quickly. All of the attend
ants will be in uniform. Each floor
will have its coterie of attendants
and watchmen, and each will be
bonded for the protection of the cor
poration and it's guests.
Commissioner oyster. in charge of
both the police and fire departments,
and Maj. Daniel Sullivan. superin-
tendent of police, have written Mr..
Tweedale praising the project. Chief
District fire department sees in the
project. he wrote Mr.. Tweedale, a
means of speeding up the fire de-
partment. He says that the heavy
traffic downtown many times impedes
the fire department in its efforts to
answer an alarm.
Floor Construction.
The floor levels are to be on a
staggered construction. Instead of
using elevators to hoist the cars to
the various levels, they will be driven
up short ramps with but a five-foot
rise from floor to floor. When half
way up or down any of the ramps
clear View of the floors may be
had. Separate ramps for up and
down traffic will be provided. The
building will be provided with sepa-
rate entrance and exit driveWayS of
sufficient width and so situated as to
prevent any delay or congestion at
course, will be provided to take users
of the apartments to the various lev
els.
The advantages of the automobile
apartment to car owners. as pointed
out by Mr.. Tweedale. are: Cheapest
and best insurance against theft of
car and equipment: eliminates loss
of time in driving around indefinitely
seeking parking space: eliminates
damage from heat and dust In sum-
mer; rain, snow and freezing in win
ter and damage by traffic accidents;
provides the lady who drives her own
car with a place to have her pur-
chases delivered without risk of loss,
and provides place where the owner
who has chauffeur may telephone
for his car when needed.
1t has, too. advantages for business
houses, which are expected to use
the service. such as relieving con-
gestion of cars now parking in front
of stores: keeping sidewalks clear
for expedient receipt and delivery of
goods: affording a place where mer-
chants may centrally deliver pack
ages of purchasers residing in widely
separated areas, thus materially re-
ducing delivery costs; providing a
place to store delivery trucks at
night. where the best of care and
service will be given; in close prox-
unity to the store. thus saving dead
mileage in driving to and from out
lying storage locations.
Evening star., 1923-06-02

Automobile apartments soon will
will be particularly interesting to
those who are finding 1t more and
more difficult from day to day to find
safe parking space in the downtown
section. Services incident to the
storage of cars such as has never
before been provided here are to be
an important feature of the new
apartments. which are to be erected
and conducted by the Washington
Automobile Apartments. Inc, local
corporation, of which Alonzo Twee-
dale, former auditor for the District
and later treasurer and auditor of the
United States Shipping Board, is pres
ident.
Many prominent in business are to
be directors. Those so far selected
are Ralph Lee, Joseph II. Crawford
of the Crawford Paving Company and
Merritt o. Chance.
Purchase of the site, the old Hall
of the Ancients, 1312-l316 New York
avenue northwest. has been contract
ed for and construction Will begin
Immediately. The present walls VIII
be used and in the interior eight
floor levels will be constructed of
steel and. concrete to take care Of the
cars.
Successful Elsewhere
While the automobile apartment
feature will be new to Washington,
1T has been tried out successfully in
other large cities. The apartment.
according to Mr.. Tweedale, who has
made a study of the automobile apart
ments of other cities both from
service and a business standpoint.
will provide features which business
houses and individuals who ire
quently come downtown will find
valuable.
Convenient reception rooms Will be
provided for women to keep appoint
ments, while their cars are stored or
are being serviced. The apartments
will receive packages for it's rentors
and place them in the cars stored on
the various levels. This feature is
expected to prove particularly popu-
lar to women who come downtown
for a days shopping. When they are
through. all they will have to do is
TO proceed to the level where their
cars are stored, and there find their
packages ready. and their cars filled
Each floor will have separate gas
there will be no congestion at one
place on the first floor.
Places for Chauffeurs.
