NOTED SINGER SUES
REALTY OPERATOR
Frieda HempeI Says Heck
scher Agreed to Pay Her
$48,00 a Year for Life.
By the Assoclated press.

| BY the Associated Press
| NEW YORK, May Elm a mysteri-
Gus suit, which she regards as "well
founded in morals and law" Frieda
Hempel, noted German opera singer,
| is seeking to compel August Heck
scher, wealthy real estate operator,
metal magnate and philanthropist, to
pay her $4S,000 a year for life.
The suit of the 41-year-old Metro
politan star was revealed when attor-
neys for the 7S-year-old widower
asked for more specific complaint.
The names of Miss Hempel and
I1eckscher had been linked together
for more than year and there have
been persistent reports of their en-.
gagement.
Says She Made Contract.
Miss Hempel in her complaint al
leges that in April 1926, two months
before she was divorced in Paris from
William B. Kahn, New York silk
manufactures, she agreed "for a val
liable consideration" to a contract
whereby the philanthropist was to
pay her $4,000 annually for the re-
mainder of her life
Payments started April /, 1926, the
complaint said, and were to continue
in quarterly instalIments of $4,000
EACH Miss Hempel said only the first
payment was made.
The specific amount asked in the
suit is $4,000 and interest, although
defense lawyers said that based on
Miss Hempels life expectancy, as es.
timated by actuary tables, the action
might involve more than $1,000. 900.
Asking for details, Heckschers at
torneys contended that the complaint
did not specify whether or not the
contract was written; that it did not
state the consideration for which the
promise was made and that it did not
definitely say whether or not the con-
tract was part of an agreement of
marrigae.
Not Breach of Promise
They said more specific complaint
would probably allow the defendant
to move to dismiss the complaint
upon a number of grounds, among
Whlch may be urged the statute of
frauds, or that the contract itself is
violative of public policy, or that it
appeared upon the face of the com.
plaint that there was no consideration
therefore"
Miss Hempers attorney denied the
suit was for breach of promise, and
added that the contract was made
when the plaintiff was not divorced.
Courts would notsuphold a promise of
marriage made under such circum-
stances, he said.
Heckscher is now on the way to Eu-
rope. His wife, the former Miss Anna.
Atkins of Pottsville, Pa, died four

WILD BEAST TRAINER
KILLED WITH HAMMER
Owner of Menagerie in Newark,
N. J., Slain by Chicken Thief
He Had Trapped.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEWARK, n. j., July 4.-Search
was being made today for the slayers
of John c. Wanner, So years old, who
probably escaped death dozens Of
times in his 3O-year career as trainer
of wild beasts. He was killed with
sledge hammer in the hands Of q
chicken thief whom he had trapped
in his menagerie.
Wanner was found by his wife last
night, having apparently been felled
as he was telephoning police. The
hammer with which his skull had
been crushed was nearby.
Wanner kept some prize capons, Of
which he was particularly proud, in
the rear of his zoo. The thief. I'M
daunted by the presence of Gagged
beasts, broke in several times during
the past week, each time taking one
of the fowls.
At dusk yesterday Wanner told his
wife he was going to the zoo to lie
in wait for the chicken thief. His
failure to return within three hours
caused Mrs. Wanner to become
alarmed and go to the zoo.

Old Lady Got Even>

A little old lady was taking her first
ride on railway train. She noticed
that at every station the conductor
descended from the train, and, after
the passengers had debarked, raised
his arm and waved his hand In pc
culiar manner. Finally she stopped
him when he passed through the car
and said "Who are you waving at in
every town where we stop?"
The train was late, the conductor
was grouchy, and he snapped: Il don't
know as it's any of your business, but
that's what we call the highball.' It's
my way of telling the engineer to get
to HI out of here" "A little later he
remembered how gruff he had been to
the old lady and his conscience smote
him. He went back and said to her:
sim sorry spoke to you as 1 did.
Everything has gone wrong today and
] felt cross or would have been. more
courteous
ooh I! that's all right" said the old
lady demurely, and raising her arm
she gave the conductor the "highball."

PIGS YOU BUY MAY BRING
HOG CHOLERA

Young pigs should be purchased
with the utmost care this spring
says DR.. l. X. Atherton, inspector in
charge OF hog cholera control in
Maryland, to avoid the possibility of
introducing hog cholera through
this means.
Every year it is possible to
trace outbreaks of cholera to swine
which have been purchased by I'M
suspecting farmers from unknown
sources" says DR.. Atherton. The
danger this spring will be greater
than usual because of the prevail
ence of the disease last fall and be-
caus of the probable greater demand
lor young pigs this spring. =.
"Just as an ordinary matter of
precaution it is advisable to deal
only with people who are known and
lpon whose reputation it is safe to
rely There is no exception to this
rule in the case of livestock though
it frequently seems to be true that
people who are cautious enough in
other matters think little of the
chances they take in buying swine
from unknown people and unknown
sources.
Last year seventeen outbreaks
Of hog cholera were traced to
animals sold by a single dealer.
Unfortunately in cases OF this kind
the losses are not always confined to
the animals purchased or even to
the individual making the pur-
chases. The possibility of spread
ing the disease once it is introduced
is always the serious factor to be
considered. The safest course in
all cases is to guard against every
possible source Of infection"

Nothing He Builds Can

The power of the avalanche Is
colossal and Unreasonable. A small

up trees and growing, ever growing,

One Good Friday, in the little city

bred feet, resulting in two houses be-
ing spitted together by pine tree,
which was driven through the walls
of the two houses, fastening them to-
gether as two pieces of paper may be
spitted by a pin. The houses, still
fastened together, were then dumped
over 60-foot embankment to the
road below, to the CONSERVATION Of

The Department of Agriculture says
that Swapping" as a method of har-
vesting cotton lowers the grade.
The decreased cost in harvesting
cotton by the "snap" method may
be much more than offset by the
expense of passing it through boil ex-
tractors and by. the loss Of value re-
sulting from the lower grades. Ac-
cording to tests made by the depart
ment, Swapping cotton in 1925 resulted
in loss to the grower of $7.29 a bale
as compared with picking. When
greater discounts were assessed
against the cotton because it was
snapped, and when it was sold in the
seed, the loss was from approximate
ly $14 to $27 bale.
