Baldwin to represent them at the public hearing over the question of a city owned bathhouse at Coney Island, take his advice they will not attempt to enjoin the city officials from erecting the baihhouse, for which 1175,000 was voted yesterday by the Board of Aldermen. Lawyer Baldwin thinks it would be far better for the private bathing house owners to wait until the municipal bath is in operation and see If it really does financial injury to the private baths.

Lawyer Baldwin spoke freely of his view of the matter. "I was retained by a committee representing a number of the bath house people," he said, "to represent them at the hearing and I have advised my clients not to Interfere with the establishment of the city bath by Injunction proceedings.

"Anyway I have advised my clients to wait and see whether the project goes through and the bathhouse is built. After that it can be easily determined whether the municipal bath is Injuring the other and private interesis. If it does then the remedy can be sought and it will be cosy to determine tne definite amount ot injury dona the private interests. To seek an injunction at present would make It very difficult to show to the court that there Is any, real damage being done." Provided Mr.

Baldwin's clients take his advice, there will be uo hindrance to the erection of the bathhouse. Borough President Steers is ready to push the project through with tho utmost dispatch. "Not fifty seconds will be lost," sail Mr. Sieers at the City Hall to-day where he was attending a meeting of the Board of Estimate. "We have been prepared for this for some time.

Superintendent Woody has had instructions for me right along to have the plans and specifications prepared so that we could go right ahead as soon as the appropriation was authorized. "Of course we don't expect to have the building finished in its entirety this season, but the people can rest assured that the building will be ready and open for their use when the bathing season tarts at Coney Island next year." Controller Prendergast. through whose untiring efforts the bathhouse plan was passed through the Board of Estimate, also was highly elated. He said that if ho could the borough officials in a'iv. way in facilitating tho speedy erection of ihe building, his services were at their disposal.

City Clerk Skullcy said that the resolution would be In the hands of Mayor Gaynor to-morrow morning. The Mayor under the charter will hold It three days, because it carries an appropriation of money.

In connection with other divorce cases, established for the convicted lawyer and husband a reputation for effrontery and nerve hardly to bo believed. The fair plaintiff, now 24 years old, refused to call herself by her husband's name and brought the suit as Miss O'Connell. She was represented by Lawyor Charles Maitland Beattie, of 116 Nassau street, Manhattan. No defense was put in by the defendant. Price got Into trouble in Brooklyn for swindling an aged Fulton street tobacconist, William Eggert.

For this transaction he was indicted and immediately afterward other questionable transactions in which he was alleged to have had a part were brought to light. Prince finally pleaded guilty to petit larceny before Judge Fawcett, and $500 fine and 11 months and 29 days in the penitentiary was thesentence imposed. It remained for the wife to appear, as she did to-day, before Justice Blackmar and show how she was duped into an alliance with the man who. after he had been disbarred In New York County, simply crossed the East River and opened a law office in Brooklyn. The two were married on August 15, 1908.

in St. Charles Borromeo Church, in Prior to the marriage Miss O'Connell lived with her parents, who were and are well to do, in Jersey City. She had a wide circle of friends in Brooklyn, and It was while on a visit here that she was Introduced to Price, who is handsome and has an attractive manner. It, is said that Price attended the St. Charles Boromeo Church, having been converted to Catholicism, or claiming be had.

The plaintiff said that during their courtship the defendant represented himself as a practicing lawyer, with exceptional prospects, and it was not until three months after their marriage that she learned the true state of affairs. It was on this occasion that Price bluntly told her that ho would have to get Sl.noo or go to jail. Miss O'Connell said that her husband told her that he was in danger of being railroaded to prison, and he put as good a light as he could upon his demand. What her husband told her, she said on the witness stand, caused her to leave him, and what she had learned since caused her to bring tho suit for annulment on the ground of his false and fraudulent representations to her at the time of their engagement. When Price was arraigned in the County Court, Mrs.

Price's ulster, Mary J. O'Connell. came over to Brooklyn and identified Price as her husband. Lawyer Beattie produced in court this morning tho criminal record of Price, which showed that Price had been sent bv New York Judges to the penitentiary and Sing Sing for his swindling operations.

-The opinion is to the effect that this administration is not bound to the action of the previous board in appropriating $510,000 for library sites and may rescind that action. President Mltchel of the Board of Aldermen has Btated that the committee had no intention ot including library sites in the budget if there was any way out of it. During the closing days of the McClel-lan administration the Board of Estimate all but authorized the purchase of thirteen sites for libraries. The resolution was not passed, however, but referred to the controller, and for that reason the corporation counsel states in the opinion that Mayor Gaynor and his colleagues He was disbarred, the record shows, in asoo. At the conclusion of the case Justice Blackmar ordered that the minutes of the trial be written out and, while reserving decision, gave the impression to those in court that ho would grant the decree.
