MRS, LEWIS GIVEN
 DIVORCE AT RENO
Guggenheim's Stepdaughter Charges Mental Cruelty

Reno, New, Sept. P-Mrs. Charlotte Potter Lewis, stepdaugh- ter of Harry F. Guggenheim, ambas- sador to Cuba, has been granted a divorce from Reginald NJ. Lewis of New York.
 The divorce was granted few hours after the filing of her suit in which she charged mental cruelty. She accused her husband of con- stantly nagging and finding fault with her and with failing to furnish her with any amusement.
 They were married at Ridgefield. Conn, August 16, 1926, at the sum- mer home of Mrs. Frederick E. Lewis, mother of the bridegroom.
 Mrs. Reginald Lewis is the daugh- ter of William W. Potter, formerly president of the Guaranty Trust company. Her mother, who was Mrs. Caroline Morton, was married to MT. Guggenheim after her marriage to Mr. Potter was dissolved by divorce in 1922.
 Before her marriage Mrs. Lewis was prominent in social activities of the younger set and took part in amateur theatricals.

MISSING JUSTICE
 MAY BE WITNESS
Rumor Says Judge Knows Some.
 thing of EWard Case

New York, Sept. UP)-Search for Joseph r. Crater, missing su- preme court justice. assumed wide significance today when it was re- vealed he might be a potential wit ness in the Ewald case, involving al- legged sale of a magistrates seat.
 Crater, missing since August 6, when he withdrew 5,100 from the bank, was political associate of former Magistrate George F. Ewald and Martin J. Healy, Tammany dis trict leader to whom it is alleged S10,000 was paid at the time of Ewald's appointment.
 When Craters absence from home and from the bench was made pub lie yesterday it was learned that po- lice had not been notified nor asked to search for him up to that time, and there were evidences that at tempts had been made to keep it secret.
 Lack of apparent motive behind the disappearance added to the mys- tery. Some of the jurist's friends were inclined to think he had met with>violence, but there was no de- finite clue to indicate this. Others said, however, that it might have been necessary for him to make a hurried trip out of the city and that he did not inform his associates be- cause it was of a confidential nature. This theory also had it weak points, as the justice was known for his punctuality and his habit of telling his friends or associates if he could not met them in accordance with a previous appointment.
 Attorney Hamilton Ward, Investigating the Ewald case, de- clined to say whether Crater was wanted as a witness. Inquiries at Belgrade Lakes, Me, where the jus tice has summer home and where Mrs. Crater is staying, elicited no in formation as to his whereabouts.
 It was learned, however, that the justices court attendant, Joseph Mara, son of John Mara. Tanlmany district leader who was questioned regarding conversations he was said to have had about Ewald's appoint ment, had called at the Crater apartment at 40 Fifth avenue regu- larly to get the jurist's mail. The younger Mara is at present away from the city on vacation.
 Crater was president of the Cay uga Democratic club, Healy's or ganization in the 18th assembly dis trict, of which Ewald was mem- Der. The justice acted as master of ceremonies when Ewald was in ducted into office, according to news paper accounts of the event.

TWO BANDITS SHOT
 IN POSSE CLASHES
Two More Escape, Pair Of Off,
 CerS Hurt in Battle

St. Paul, Sept. P1Two bank bandits were shot and wounded: two were captured; two escaped, and two possemen were wounded in three bank robberies in the northwest to- day.
 Threemen who held up the First State Bank of Hoven, s. D.. and es- capped with nearly S3,000, were cap tured near Tolstoy, S. D. after a gun fight with a posse. Two of the ban dits were seriously wounded. The third was captured. All refused to give their names.
 Two possemen Howard Furdy and Eugene Harboldt, both of Tolstoy, were slightly wounded. The money was recovered.

to the charge of driving while un- der the influence of liquor on Sep tember 1, and Officer Louis E. Har- per testified that he saw his car go over the curbstone on Washington street and almost strike three chill dren, who were forced to run for safety. Sziabowski's head was bob ping and his car seemed to be en- tirely out of control, the officer said.
 Attorney Milkowitz told the court that Sziabowski was a World war veteran and despite his healthy ap- pearance he had been under treat ment for 10 years for ailments re- sulting from gas attacks which he was under while in the service. He was scheduled to go to Boston yes terday to take further treatments, the attorney said.
 Judge Sake remarked that Szia- bowski and others who have had i'll fortune should be exceptionally careful in their conduct, as they can, not afford to pay fines. He did not want to make a practice of placing drunken drivers on probation to pay money penalties but if the proba- ton department. after an investiga- tion. found it to be a deserving case. special consideration would be given

Slight Breeze Into Funnel Can Be Made to Control a Typewriter Carriage, Turn Sheet Music, Aid in Operation of Machines.

New York, Sept. R-The old merely by drawing their breath to- day became the latest reality of sci entific developments to reduce mans physical toll.
 An electric light which can be blown out with the same small puff that extinguishes a match was plac- ed on exhibition at the Westing- house lighting institute here.
 Its secret is a new kind of electric switch, the breath relay,' for which is promised many useful applica- tions. It can be set to turn either on or of.
 Gives Him "Third Hand"
 It gives man a third hand" for some kinds of mechanical opera tions, and a substitute for hands in cases where he wishes to avoid direct touch.
 The latter purpose was the object of the inventor, Dr. E. E. Free, New York consulting engineer. But when the device was perfected by the Westinghouse company it proved to be unexpectedly reliable and not greatly subject to operation by va grant breezes,
 The company says it can be used for safety devices and for extending the operators control of automo- piles, airplanes, scientific apparatus, punch presses and other machines in which hands and feet are busy It also can be made to actuate de- vices that open service doors of res taurants, and to operate the car riages of typewriters and billing ma chimes. It is even claimed that the breath device can be made to turn the pages of sheet music.
 Blows Into Funnel
 For extinguishing the lights a per son blows into trim little funnel which resembles the mouthpiece of telephone. The breath strikes phosphor bronze springs arranged so that the air impact strikes a large surface and is thereby amplified suf- fciently to make a regular "con- tact" The position of the springs at the bottom of the funnel protects them from being affected by ordi- nary air currents.
 The story is that a friend of Dr. Free, objecting jokingly to putting his hands on apparatus handled by other persons, said:
 Why don't you scientists give us something so that we don't have to touch things if we don't want to?"
 That's easy" was Frees reply, Eve could do it with just a puff of air

APPROVES DISSOLVING
 OF POLISH CONGRESS
Prof. Torosiewicz Believes Pilsudski Acted For Best Interests
 of Nation

The dissolving of the Polish legis- lature, the sejm and senate, by the militant premier, Marshal Joseph Pilsudski, has been done for the good of the country, Prof. Stanislas Maria De Torosiewicz, preceptor of the Daughters of Mary of the Immacu- late Conception of the Sacred Heart church, hopes.
 The act, Professor Torosiewicz stated, was unconstitutional but no doubt was done for the advantage of the country.
 Marshal Pilsudski, being a man of military powers, has great influ- ence over the people, who are pa triotic. possessing a highly developed military trait. Pilsudskis actions, since he is similar in this respect, appeal to the populace.
 The dissolving of the legislature probably means the end of the 42 political factions in Poland. The both houses contain more than 500 mem bers, far too numerous when com- pared with the population of the country" Prof. Torosiewicz declared.

Rev. John Taranowicz. honorary metropolitan canon of Lvow, has completed the publication of his first work, the Children's Catechism. at the print shop he purchased several months ago on Glen street.
 The book, written in the Polish language, gives a complete religious summary in simple language with many illustrations of religious char acters.
 Rev. Father Taranowicz, who makes his home at St. Lucian's Home for the Aged on Burritt street, came to this city several years ago after completing extensive travels throughout the country. He plans to continue to publish his works, which include a series of prayer books and other religious writings.

IMPROVEMENT NOTICED
 IN HARDWARE BUSINESS
Retailers Have More Optimistic Feeling Over Prospects for Fairly
 Healthy Demand In Fall.

New York, Sept. 3-Considerable improvement in the general trade sentiment prevailing in the leading hardware markets has been recent ly reported, Hardware Age says to- day in it's weekly market summary. Wholesalers and retailers alike, ap- pear to have a more optimistic feel ing over prospects for a fairly healthy fall demand. Ample rain fall has relieved the drought in most sections and several other lesser, factors have shown lndlca- tions of improvement, which have served to brighten the outlook. >
 Current orders have not increased in proportion to the better senti- ment as yet, but the return of con- fidence is expected to exert help ful influence in this direction within the next few weeks.
 Stocks, as a rule are very low. It is estimated, in fact, that they are about 25 per cent below normal for tfs period of the year. This would seem to lend credence to the beliel that the autumn demand will be quite heavy when it, materializes.
 Declines, averaging about 10 per cent have taken place since the first or the year. but present prices are holding fairly firm. Some hardware lines are selling at pre-war price levels, Other highly competitive merchandise has been offered at less than the cost of its manufacture.
 The credit situation is somewhat "spotty'' in character, with collec. tions rated >good in some sections and fair in others. The average may be\sonsidered as satisfactory.

Thomas Carey and Jobert as lieu tenants, it will be necessary for Bradbury to return as a sergeant. He will make a final decision on the matter Monday. The papers have been filled out and if he reenlists he will sign up on Monday, the com- pany's drill night.
 Bradbury rose rapidly in the ranks. He enlisted as a private with Regimental Headquarters company in Hartford and then transferred to First Battalion Headquarters com- pany of New Britain. When Go. I was formed he transferred to that unit and was given a corporal's rank. Since that time he has been platoon sergeant, first sergeant and second lieutenant.
 One of the motives that has prompted him to return to the ranks is the honor of being a 10 year serv- ice man. If he remains with the c. N. G. a little more than a year he will achieve his goal.

PERMIT IS DENIED
 F0R GARAGE HOME
Chauffeur Could Live There But
 Not Property Owner

Under the zoning law, a servant or chauffeur may make use of pro- perty in manner denied the owner, J. August Carlson learned last night when his petition for an application to remodel and live in the upper story of garage building was de- nied by the board of adjustment.
 Carlson submitted plans for alter stion of the garage in the rear of 157 Dwight street. He explained that Wis purpose was to make a home for Himself in that building, then deed the structure standing in front to a member of his family. Study of the zone law disclosed that the chauffeur or servant of the owner may be housed in an auxiliary building, but no provision was made whereby the owner or anyone not so employed might live there. It was suggested that he ask the common council to amend the ordinance.
 Permit for Practice Golf Course
 A permit for one years use was given Edward J. Gallagher, owner of the Belvidere Golf school, occupying a plot on the McCabe tract which is zoned for residence uses. The board was informed that rifle range can be re-opened on the land, having existed before zoning came into effect, and members agreed that the golf school would be less likely to give ground to complaint. Un- less there is strong protest at the end of one year, the permit will be re- newed, Gallagher was assured.
 Despite the e-fact that no neighbors came to the meeting to protest, the board refused to. give an unrestrict- ed permi to Patsy Torimo to build small toolhouse in the rear of Cliff street. Torimo was offered a permit for one year, but he said this would not serve his purposes and he de- clined it.
 Fred Beloin, represented by At torney Thomas J. Cabelus, asked that his residence aN West Main street and sherman court be includ- ed in the business district which ex- tends westerly from the west bound of the Beloin land. There was no objection to the change and it was voted unanimously.
