run smoothly for "Madcap" Merry
Fahrney, the patent medicine mil

has embarked on the seas Of mat
rimony for the fourth time, it
looks as though the seas were get
ting rougher.
For it may be that her Elkton
(Md.) marriage to Count Oleg
Cassini, Russian dress designer,
may be declared illegal, or even
bigamous.
DIVORCE CONTESTED
'Madcap Merry" was married
to Count Arturo Berlingieri of
Italy. last time, and several
months ago she divorced him in
Chicago.
But Count Arturo didn't like
the idea Of giving up the millions
he had married and appealed to
the higher courts to set aside the
decree.
WHIRLWIND COURTSHP
After a whirlwind courtship
they flew from New York to Mary
land and were married at Elkton' s
famous marriage mart.
Today Count Arturo'S lawyers
pointed out that If the Illinois
courts set aside the verdict, Merry
will find herself in the unpleasant
condition Of having two husbands
and the law frownS on that.

 Eight Years on Force
 Officers Hobart and Pakul, who have been detailed to special assign ments as plain clothes men, said they had been members of the de- partment for the past eight years. Both have always been on night duty.
 Patrolman Mates said he had been a policeman for 24 years, and prior to that had been 8 member of the Fire Department for several years. Ser geant Mariana said he had been a policeman for nine years, and was now on duty in the Detective Bureau.
 There was no discussion of any of the promotions. All members of the board were present. They are Com missioners Henry Minor, Patrick Cronan, Maurice Sweeney and Michael J. Noonan, Democrats, and Alderman Patrick Perriello, Edward Downs and Wendell Cross, Repub- licans.
 Supernumeraries Slated
 A number of present supernumer- aries slated for appointment as reg ulars were notified yesterday morn ing to appear at the meeting yes- terday afternoon. However. they were later told not to report, the reason apparently being that all had not been given their physical examinations.
 Reports were today that there may be retirements and promotions in addition to the new appointments Monday afternoon. There was con- siderable gossip in police circles, but the reports had no official confir- nation.
