WELLS, who passed away November 16, 1913. ALMOST DIVORCED AND DIDN'T KNOW IT William Dwight Teese Started Action in Philadelphia-Wife Gets Injunction. DEFAULT ALREADY NOTED Teese Claimed Residence in Quaker City, But Voted Here, Says John F. Clarke. In a motion made in behalf of Mrs.

Daisy Teese for an injunction which will restrain her husband, William Dwight Teese, lawyer and one time public official, from proceeding with a Philadelphia divorce case he instituted surreptitiously, although a resident of Brooklyn, former District Attorney John F. Clarke today laid bare in Justice Benedict's part of the Supreme Court how astonishingly easy it is for husbands or wives to cut off their matrimonial bonds by maintaining a Pennsylvania "residence" for a year, Teese has a law office at 189 Montague street, and his home is at 1082 Prospect place. He has been a resident of Brooklyn for forty-eight years. To show that the Philadelphia divorce suit brought by Teese against his wife was not founded on good faith, Lawyer Clarke presented to Justice Benedict information showing that Teese registered in Kings County 75 a voter this year, last year and the year before, that his home is at the Prospect Park place address, with his name in the telephone book there, and that the telephone bills have been paid by Teese right along and without interruption. Having thus set forth that Teese could not possibly have been a resident of Philadelphia at the time he began this divorce action, which is sought to be held up, Lawyer Clarke intormed Justice Benedict that Teese began his Philadelphia suit some months ago, and that it was not until November 5 of this year that Mrs.

Teese got notice of it. On that day she received from H. Laussat Geyelin, a master, or referee, as they call them here, a paper which showed that the suit against her, brought in the Court of Common Pleas, Philadelphia, had progressed 90 far court that her detault was in noted, and Mr. Geyelin was appointed to take testimony at an inquest. Master Geyelin had set Wednesday, November 18, as the date for the hearing.

If Master Geyelin had not obtained her address in some way, Mr. Clarke pointed out, Mrs. Teese would have been divorced on next Wednesday and never would have known it until her husband had appeared on the scene with his decree. That is the situation which confronts Mrs. Teese, Lawyer Clarke pointed out to Justice Benedict, unless this injunction is granted and the former District Attorney took the position that Teese is a resident of this county and on that account can be enjoined from prosecuting his divorce action in another State.

The Teeses have been separated since 1905. In the Philadelphia action Teese charged that his wife had "wilfully" Mrs. Teese says they separated then deserted him in A April of that year, but by mutual consent, having had disagreements over a subject which Mrs. Teese has declined to discuss, either in court or elsewhere. For a number of years Mrs.

Teese and her two children, Leslie and Marguerite who are at the threshold of their majority, have lived at 1103 Carroll street, not half a dozen blocks from where Teese lives. An affidavit by Mrs. Teese was subwitted to Justice Benedict, and in it the wife sayg that "the purpose of Teese in instituting the proceedings in the State of Pennsylvania is to har08S and annoy the deponent by obtaining surreptitiously and clandestinely a judgment of absolute divorce in a tribunal which had no jurisdiction of the deponent and to subject her to offensive and oppressive litigation and hold her forth to the world as a percon who had committed a wrong to him." Mrs. Teese asks the court to perpetually restrain her husband from proceeding with the Philadelphia divorce action. To substantiate his petition for the injunction, Lawyer Clarke submitted a memorandum, showing that in 1850, when Edwin Forrest, the actor, tried exactly the same thing that Mr.

Teese undertook to do, and the courts in those days granted his wife, Mrs. Catherine Forrest, an injunction, which put the Pennsylvania case out of business. Benedict granted the injunction. WOMAN ROBBED IN CHURCH Man Stole Her Vanity Casee: and Ran, but He Was Caught. During the services in Christ Episcopal Church, Bedford and Division avenues, yesterday morning, the rector, the Rev.

William Sheafe Chase, was annoyed and the worshippers thrown into confusion by a man's attempt to pick the pocket of Miss Bertha Thompson of 294 South Second street. Miss Thompson felt a tug at her pocket. She turned and saw a man in the act of taking her silver vanity case, which contained some money, her eyeglasses and case. She tried to hold the man, but he ran into the vestibule of the church. Some members seized him, but he escaped and ran out into Bedford avenue, where he was arrested by Patrolman Short.

When arraigned today in the Manhattan avenue court, the man gave the name of Michael Marino, 32 years old, of 95 South Seventh street. He was held in $500 bail for examination on Wednesday. GERMAN SCRIBES GIVE PLAY. Deals With Conditions During the War in Europe. A playlet dealing with the condition of the German-Americans during the war in Europe, was given at the twenty-eighth anniversary celebration of the German Press Club, last night.

The play, which is written by Julius Krause, one of the oldest German newspaper men of Manhattan, proved to be clever. All parts were taken by members of the club. The club rooms were decorated and nearly two hundred members and guests took part in banquet, which was served before the play was given. Hugo Feix entertained with his latest hits, Miss Cenzi Goetzer of the German Theater also entertained. In the cast of the play wtre Ernest Schmitz, August Froehlich, Dr.

The girl's mother is receiving, daily, many letters from various parts of Long Island, each advising some home remedy for combatting the dreaded disease. One person also inclosed a package of salve. The child has been treated by the Board of Health physician, Dr. P.

J. Curran, and will be under his especial cure. ACCUSES ESCORTS IN HER AUTO RIDE Miss Platsek Says Winkler and Jackle Took Her to Garage Instead of Home. James A. Winkler, 29 years old, of 8627 Twenty-second avenue, who operated a garage at Eighteenth and Cropsey avenues, together with Christian Jackle, 20 years old, of 8804 Bay Sixteenth street, and Charles McGovern, 17, of 8648 Bay Thirteenth street, assistants to Winkler, were in the Coney Island Court today before Magistrate Miller, on a charge of having attempted to attack Evelin Polatsek, a millinery model, 22 years old, living at 1907 Benson avenue, early this morning.

The three men were held in $1,500 bail each for further examination on November 19. After dining with another girl at a restaurant at the Long Island Railroad station at Atlantic and Flatbush avenues late last night, Miss Polatsek said she requested Jackle, whom she knew, to drive her home. She says she wanted to pay the usual rate for her transportation, but that Winkler, the owner, who also was on the trip, would not have it. When the car had passed Prospect Park, Miss Polatsek testified this morning, Winkled became offensive and, despite her remonstrances, continued to annoy her for some time. The girl said she was very much frightened and appealed to Jackle, but could not persuade hi mto assist her.

When the car drew up before Winkler's garage, she said, she was forcibly removed by Winkler and Jackle. Young McGovern, who had been working in the gaarge, came out and also participated in her removal from the car, the younw woman claimed. Finally, Miss Polatsek managed to break away from the three men and reported her experience to the police of the Bath Beach Station. Patrolmen O'Connor and Curran were sent around to the garage and arrested all three. This morning they were taken to police headquarters an dlater were sent back to the Coney Island Court.

In the court room there was a scene when Miss Polatsek tried to attack Winkler. DANCED THE VIRGINIA REEL. Barn Party Given by Girl Pioneers of America. To the tune of fiddle and guitar the Girl Pioneers of America, Band 2, danced the Virginia reel and modern dances at a barn party given at Margaret Villa barn, Seventy-ninth street and Seventh avenue, Saturday evening.

GUADALUPE SCOUTS GROWING. The Rev. John J. Durick, pastor of the Church of Our Lady of Guadalupe, in Lefferts Park, has issued a call to the young men of the parish over 18 years of age, to organize a senior division of the Boy Scout organization, which has been built up in the last six months under the able direction of Captain C.

Lamoth and Lieutenant L. J. Tynan. Although the movement has been under way but a week over fifty men have been recruited. The Church of Our Lady of Guadalupe was the first Catholic Church in Brooklyn to start a military organization although the movement is now throughout the city and it is spreading the ambition of Father Durick and the military directors to have the battalion rank as the best as well as the first.

FEAR MORE BOMBS; GUARD ALL COURTS Special Detectives in Magis- trates Courts County Courthouse Cleared of Loungers. SCARE IN SPECIAL SESSIONS. But "Infernal Machine" Turns Out to Be a Bundle of Stones for a Court Exhibit.

As a result of the placing of a lighted bomb in the Tombs Police Court in Manhattan on Saturday, detectives were today assigned to the magistrates courts of Manhattan and Brooklyn to guard against the repetition of such an occurrkence, and unusual precautions were taken in all of the higher criminal courts of the city. In the Kings County Court 1 House, just before the courts were opened, a squad of detectives and court attendants went through the corridors and demanded the business of every person there. Those who seemed at all suspicious and who could not give good reason for their attendance were ordered out of the Court House, and the court attendants were ordered to watch every person who entered the court rooms very carefully. Today was sentence day in the County Court, and extra precautions were taken there. Ordinarily, it is customary to allow everybody into the courtroom who can find either seats or standing room, because all of the week's prisoners are sentenced on Monday and many of the friends and relatives ask to be allowed in court.

Today, however, the court attendants ordered everybody out who did not have a seat, and then detectives cleared the various corridors of loiterers. In the police courts the same scrutiny of persons who sat in the court rooms was made. Special detectives were assigned by Police Headquarters to watch everybody who acted at all suspiciously and no one was allowed in the courts who did not have good business there. Quite a stir was created in the Court of Special Sessions today when Clerk William S. O'Toole rushed up to the detective especially detailed there and informed him that a man had just entered the court room carrying a package in which, apparently, a bomb was concealed.

Beneath the seat in front of the suspect was an oblong box with a piece of rope that resembled a fuse hanging outside one end. Without losing any more time the detective called to Court Attache William B. Walsh and the two officers at once seized the box and the man. They hastily carried the box downstairs to the clerks room where it was dumped into a pail of water. Then it was opened and instead of a deadly infernal machine it was found to contain a number of heavy stones tied together with a rope, which were to have been exhibited in court as evidence.

When informed of the nature of the "bomb," Justices McInerney, Forker Kernochen, appeared greatly relieved and joined in the laugh. Detectives guarded each court room in the Criminal Courts Building, in Manhattan, and two detectives were on each floor scrutinizing all who entered the place. Particularly close watch was maintained in the Tombs Court, where the bomb was found and where Magistrate Campbell was again seated, and in Part III of General Sessions, where was seated Judge Wadhams, who recently sentenced Frank Tennenbaum, the I. W. W.

leader, to a year's imprisonment and ordered him to pay a fine of $500. Magistrate Campbell said today that he did not think Bouck White, the pastor of the Church of the Social Revolution, had anything to do with the placing of the infernal machine. 112 NEW BUILDINGS Plans for Brooklyn Structures Cost $490,350. There have been filed with the Brooklyn Department of Buildings, since November 1, plans for 112 new buildings, to cost $490,350.

November 16-John Holley Clark chairman of the transportation committee and cousel for the Flushing Association, who is leading a fight against the Interborough Rapid Transit Company and the Public Service Commission for better transit facilities in ueens stated today that the attacks which he has directed against the Public Service Commission are against the five commissioners, and against no other part of that organization. NEW TELEPHONE DIRECTORY.

The new City Telephone Directory, out today, contains the names of 325,000 subscribers on 952 pages. It will have a circulation of 606,000 copies. These figures show a gain over the 1913 fall issue of 20,000 names, 64 pages and 41,000 copies. Because of the maple, increase in the number of telephone in the Manhattan-Bronx district, it has become necessary to establish a new cent al office, to be known as "Cathedral." With each passing year the New York City Telephone Directory gains prestige as an authoritative record of names and addresses of more than one-ninth of the population of Greater Ne York. The book is constantly used as a guide, not only for the correct spelling of names, but also for correct addresses.

The New Jersey Telephone Directory and local directories for points in the Westchester and Long Island divisions of the Telephone Company's territory also are being distributed at this time. The New Jersey book contains 121,500 listings on 436 pages, a gain of 6,500 names and 20 pages over the last fall issue. Its circulation will be nearly 152,000 copies. Approximately 40,000 local directories will be distributed in Long Island towns, and about 57,000 in Westchester; SO that the combined directory distribution at this time totals 855,000 telephone books.

STORM KEEPS PEOPLE AWAY. All the Animals on Exhibition Now Except Leopard--New Building Is Urgently Needed.

ZOO EXHIBIT NEXT SATURDAY AND Because of the storm yesterday Park Commissioner Ingersoll has decided to wait until next Saturday and Sunday for the first public exhibition of the new Brooklyn Zoo at Prospect Park This is to give children a better chance for visiting than a weekday exhibition would offer All the children will be welcome on Saturday and Sunday and they then may see all the animals The animals in the new Brooklyn Zoo, did not receive their little friends yesterday, as had been planned for them. They were all spic and span and ready for visitors, but the heavy and constant rain kept away all but about fifty boys and a few grown folks during the whole day. Those who did brave the storm and take the long walk through the Park to reach the temporary quarters in which the animals are housed, had very deeply impressed upon them the real and immediate need of a suitable shelter for these fine beasts which the people of Brooklyn, through The Eagle, have purchased from the Bostock collection. Little "Billy Kelly" and the big cinnamon bear are working hard for a new bilding for the Brooklyn Zoo. They are saying with all the vehemence that a dumb beast can, "We want room, we want more room." There are still further additions being made to the new zoo, tow, so that there is more reason than ever why Brooklyn boys and girls should do their utmost to help in the collection of funds for a proper building to house the animals.

The newest additions will bring two young alligators to Prospect Park. They are little fellows, one of them 5 years old and the other 6, and they are twelve and fourteen inches long respectively. They will take their place in the Park because of this letter that came to Aunt Jean this morning: 300 Lafayette Avenue. My Dear Aunt Jean-We have two alligators, one five and one six years old, twelve and fourteen inches long respectively. Being very much interested in the Zoo movement, I should be very glad to contribute them.

If you would like them, kindly let ine know. Your niece, RUTH HILL. Park Commissioner Ingersoll said right away when told about it that he would see a place was made for Ruth's double gift, but that means still another reason for a better 200 house. Little Billy Kelly Unhappy in a Tiny Cage. "Billy Kelly" is particularly unhappy, for he is in a tiny cage in the sheepfold, with just room enough to turn around, he constantly claws at the bars and scratches the floor and sides of his prison.

Billy is the Russian brown cub which was purchased by the employees of the Brooklyn Postoffice from the Bronx Zoo, and he arrived in Prospect Park Saturday. Postmaster William F. Kelly called on his little namesake yesterday morning. As Biilly is only a ten months' old baby, he can not be put into the large cages with the other bears, and this diminutive cage was the only place available for him. The big cinnamon bear, which is one of the new animals bought by the children of Brooklyn thinks he is being crowded; and he is a scrapper.

He has been placed in the den with a grizzly and a black bear, who are old Brooklynites. Yesterday the cinnamon bear and the black bear had two fierce fights, and had to be separated by a keeper, who turned the hose on them to cool their angry, passions. The lions, splendid specimens, consider Brooklyn a pretty good sort of a place to be in, after their long trip, for they each have eight pounds of raw meat every day and their comfortable new cages, built in the fold, are heated, and protected from the cold and dampness by storm windows, which can be put up three feet in front of the bars of the cages. These storm windows were up all day yesterday, kept the few visitors from getting a good view of these kings of the jungle, because the panes of glass were spattered with rain drops. The only animal not on exhibition yesterday was the leopard.

The cage which had been prepared for him had to be taken for an extra lion which was not expected, and for which no preparation had been made. The leopard is comfortably housed in the barn, where he can be kept warm. The only person who saw him yesterday was C. M. Higgins, who bought him, through The Eagle.

The two hyenas were still in the cages in which they made the long journey from England, but slept peacefully most of yesterday. The new monkeys, in three inclosures partitioned off from the regular monkey cage, were cuddled together in snug little rows on the high bars of the cages. The white mule, too, is happy in his freedom, and rolls around, and kicks up his heels with joy. Prospect Park has now 19 bears confined in a space which should accomodate six bears comfortably, but the keepers have done the best they could with the limited room. Even the hospital cage has been utilized.

Headkeeper O'Brien Is Proud of New Zoo. Head Keeper John O'Brien is very proud of the new Zoo. The lions which the people of Brooklyn have bought are the first which have ever been in Prospect Park. No member of the cat family has ever before been in the collection of animals there, but Mr. O'Brien thinks the Zoo is still incomplete without at least one tiger.

"All the new animals are being fed very carefully," said the headkeeper. "They are ravenous, because they have been kept on short rations, "It gives me pleasure to enclose check for adv. You may like to know that it brought results, as the dog was Sembrada. Every day lost articles are returned through the medium of The Eagle. but it would be injurious to feed them all that they want.

They are all quite thin, but in good condition. The lions are showing their ribs, but their coats are splendid and their color is all right. "The animals get six meals a week, one every day except Sunday. We buy about one hundred pounds more meat every day than we did before the new animals came to the Park, and twice as much bread. We parboil the meat for the wolves and coyotes, and soak the bread for the bears in the water In which this meat is boiled.

Rice, potatoes, cabbage, apples, oatmeal and peanuts are fed to the monkeys, and little 'Billy Kelly' gets bread and milk and an apple once in a while." The keeper says that the children will have more of a treat by postponing their first visit to the new Zoo, than if they had been able to go yesI terday, because he expects soon to have the leopard on exhibition, and every day that passes puts all of the animals in better condition. Exhibition Postponed to Next Saturday and Sunday. Park Commissioner Ingersoll today decided that the first public exhibition should be put off for a whole week, to. next Saturday and Sunday, so that there will not be any conflict between school and zoo. Besides, he has been advised by Head Keeper O'Brien that the delay will enable the animals to be seen at better advantage and will afford time to house the leopard in a proper kind of sight-seeing cage.

If there isn't any, storm, therefore, the children Brooklyn may turn out in force next Saturday and Sunday and see all the beasts that the storm of yesterday so effectually concealed. By that time, too, all the denizens of Zoo are going to be named. Within the next two days, The Eagle will send out "christening tags' to all those whose contributions have qualified them to name the animals, and the donors are expected to write on the tags the names they would like to bestow on the animals they have picked out. The qualified contributors may visit the park as soon as they have ing received their tags, put on their thinkcaps so that the best of names will result, and then on Friday afternoon there will be a "christening day" for their benefit. This will be just for the "godfathers" and "godmothers." In this connection Brooklyn boys and girls should remember that some of them still have the chance to share in the "christening." The good ship West Point was 50 very much of an ark that she brought over several more animals than had originally been planned and, although they have been added to the park collection temporarily, they are still waiting purchasers before they can consider themselves permanent Brooklynites.

A dingo and two jackals are included in this lot, and the keepers at the park say they are well worth purchasing.

November 16-When Charles Detrick, 64 years old, of 9 Ninth street, heard noises in his pigeon coop at the rear of house at o'clock last night, he rushed out armed with a carving knife to drive away two suspicious looking young men who were invading his place. A fight followed, and the trespassers emptied two shots into Detrick's body, one entering the left breast, and the other the abdomen. Although seriously wounded, Detrick fought desperately with his assailants. Neighbors, hearing the commotion, rushed out in their night clohtes and assisted Detrick. The two men fled before they could be identified.

The man they had shot was taken into his home and an ambulance summoned from St. John's Hospital, to which institution the wounded man was carried. Little hope for his recovery is expressed there. Detrick got sufficient description of the two men to assist the police materially in running them down. Each was about 21 years old.

One was about five feet five inches in height and would weigh about 145 pounds, Detrick thought, while the other he estimated as about the same height and believed that this man wore a gray cap. Policemen who are trying to run down the criminals found this morning at the scene of the battle a revolver and a blue cap. These are the only clues upon which Detectives Scully and Tevan, who have assigned to the case, have to work." COOK'S BURNS PROVE FATAL. Elderly Woman, Burned in Kitchen, Dies in Flushing Hospital.
