FEARS HUSBAND
MAY KILL HER

Justice Siddons. of the District
Supreme Court. was asked today
BY Mrs. Hattie L. Wood, wife of
James Wood, who was released
from st. Elizabeth's last Friday
after having been patient at that
place for five years. to vacate the
order of Justice Bailey fixing a
bond of $1,000 for her husbands
release from Jail.
Mrs. Wood is employed at he
Bureau of Engraving and Print
ing and supports her two children.
She claims that her husband mas
often threatened her and openly
stated he would shoot her. The
wife is afraid that her husband
will carry out his threat il re-
leased from the Jail on bond.
There was pending against Wood
an indictment charging him with
shooting a soldier in 1920 and be-
fore his trial he was adjudged i'll
sane. Under this indictment Wood
was taken into custody yesterday
and bond for his release was fixed
BY Justice Bailey at 1000.
Justice Siddons today declined t.
act in the matter on the ground
that an equity court may not in
terfere with an action of the JUS
tice holding the criminal division.
Attorney Joseph Stein for the wife
will try some other method of
preventing the release of Wood.
In her petition Mrs. Wood says
that p. j. Nicoladies. who has
been acting as committee of her
husband under his adjudication as
insane, has about $500 in cash
and securities belonging to Wood.
If Wood is released, says his wife,
he will obtain possession of the
money and will squander it to the
injury and damage of herself and
the children to whose support il
should be applied.
Wood was taken into custody re.
Gently and is said to have had In
his possession an envelope con
tanning a list of names, heading
which were those of Justices Bales
and Siddons. 1t was supposed lie
had the persons marked for re
yenge.

MAIL FRAUD

Arrested yesterday afternoon by
Postoffice Inspector j. NJ. Johnson
and Detective Richard Mansfield, of
the central office, Abeaf August
Tiger was arraigned today before
United States Commissioner Necl-
ham G. Turnage and pleaded guilty
to using the mails to defraud. He
was held under bond of 81 900 for
action of the grand jury.
The youth, who is only 20 years
old, was traced to the Franklin
Square Hotel by Inspector johnson,
after the receipt of numerous com.
plants from persons who had re-
ceived letters from him.
A rather unusual, although not
very remunerative plan was used
by Tiger to gain funds. He is said
to have taken names from the
telephone directory and then 10
have written to them and told them
he had found packages belonging
20 them.
Stating he had spent so or IS
cents in his efforts TO reach them.
he said he would turn the packages
over to them If they would repay
the money he claimed to have
spent.
In most cases this was done and
they received a small package
which contained a blank card on
which two cancelled foreign stamps
had been affixed About so such
cards were mailed out, the police
claim.
Tiger refuses to give his home
address, stating that he does not
wish his parents to learn Of his
plight. He would not have stopped
TO such scheme had he not been
destitute. he claims

While his fiance travels back TO

gina authorities and d runaway
couple who had come here To get
! married William Thomas Hayes,
IL. of 1120 twentieth ST., Ricn-
mond, is wondering just how he IS
Going to get back home.
The State paid the way of his
fiance, Miss Selma Tuck, l6, and
Marion Scott Corr, Is, and his
sweetheart Catherine Helen
Weenls, also IS, but they left Will
liam to shift for himself.
Corr and the Weems girl left
their homes in Richmond, accom-
panied by Hayes and Miss Tuck,
and drove here, all matrinonially
bent. When they arrived they did
not know just where to go so they
asked Sergeant Langley. of the
Tenth precinct, who kindly directed
them to the marriage license bureau
in the Court House.
A short time later a telegram ar
rived at police headquarters FROM
the chief of police Of Richmond,
asking them to look out for anu
hold Corr and Miss Weems. Lang
ley saw the telegram and went to
the Court House, where he found
them all waiting.
1t was learned that there was no
objection to the marriage of Hayes
and Miss Tuck. but Colonel Kroll
refused to issue them a license be-
cause they were under age.
Last night the two girls and
Corr were turned over to the Vir-
ginia authorities to be returned to
their parents, but Hayes. having
been freed, was left behind.

"LiueN Heat"
The Cooking Sensation of the Day!

The Cooking Sensation of the Day! "Lively Heat" is the perfect cooking and baking heat. You see it in the dancing, viz orous, active heat above bed of red hot coals-above a modern gas burner-aboVe the glowing electric burner! In each case it is the same heat. Only the fuel is different. It is the "Lively Heat" that good cooks of all times have known as the only kind of heat that can do perfect cooking and baking. Contrasted to it is the languid, lifeless heat of candle flame, which might be termed "lazy heat"
 The Red Star Oil Stove is such great suc- cess because Red Star engineers found way to produce this same "Lively Heat" from oil, without Wicks. The Red Star "Lively Heat" Burner converts common kerosene or gasoline into a gaseous vapor, which is then burned and produces the same "Lively Heat" as coal, gas or electricity. Until you have seen foods that have been cooked by Red Star you will not begin to realize what tremendous difference "Live- ly Heat" makes in cooking results.
 No other oil stove in the world has this "Lively Heat" Burner It is patented and exclusive feature of Red Star Oil Stoves.

State Manufacturers 70 Seek
 Changes h Compensation Law

authorities in its efforts to make the Connecticut law what 1t believes will be one of the most equitable for both employees and employers that is in existence today.
 The particular sections which have been under discussion are the accu- pational disease clauses which were written into the law in 1919 and 1921 and which have been subject to an exceedingly broad interpretation. The association will introduce an amendment which will have the ef- feet of bringing occupationaI dis easo within the scope of the com pensation act and will ask the legis- lature to remove from the present law that part which has made it so indefinite and so difficult Of uniform interpretation and difficult for em- ployers to give work to those who have had pro-eXisting weaknesses and deformities.
 One result of the operation of the present act has been that employers
  fuse employment to men possessed of certain physical handicaps which in themselves would not be an ab- solute bar to employment. The ob- jectfve towards which the committee of the Manufacturers Association of Connecticut has been striving is a clarification and simplification of the law on these points so that a man may not be barred from employment and become public charge.
 At the present time rejections by plants holding physical examinations of applicants average, in Connecticut over per cent of the total number examined, which. if that average held, would total approximately 12,- 500 on a basis of 250,000 emTloyes which is somewhere near the total for industrial employees of the state. The tendency to use physical ex- aminations is steadily increasing and this is coming more and more to be an important consideration. The As- sociation realizes that these men have a certain earning capacity which they should individually be able to utilize through obtaining such employment as they are physically ablc to perform.
 i The section of the present law re-
