MAIRS CO. 68 SACKETT BROOKLYN Telephone Henry 0278 FRANK TINNEY SUED FOR $750 ALIMONY; WILL DENY CHARGE Attorney Says Wife Has No Grounds for Separation From Actor. Through counsel, her Harry H. Oshrin, 1476 Broadway, Manhat- Mrs. Edna Tinney an has instituted action a separation in Queens Supreme Court against Frank Tinney husband, comedian.

Papers in action were served yesterday upon Tinney's torney, George A. Hopkins, of the firm of Pierce Hopkins, 233 Broadway, Manhattan. The affidavit of Attorney Oshrin states that "the plaintiff alleges that she has always been a faithful wife, but the defendant disregarded his duties and deserted her on Aug. 4, 1924, on which day told her without cause whatever that it was his intention not to have anything to do with her, that the derefused to support Attorney Oshrin stated that he would ask for $750 weekly alimony and $5,000 counsel fees hehalf of Mrs. Tinney.

"The claims made Mrs. Tinney through her counsel declared Lawyer Hopkins. "My answer to the allegations of counsel for the plaintiff will be al general denial. It is ridiculous for the other side to claim that Tinney abandoned his wife. Instead of abandoning her, Mrs.

Tinney gave every assistance within her power to help him prepare for the trip and making general preparations for the departure. Therefore we emphatically deny any intentions on his part to abandon his wife. "The demand that ample provision be made for Mrs. Tinney out of the property of the defendant is ironical. She already has the deed to Fixhurst, Mr.

Tinney's home at Baldwin, L. and she has possesof sion of his savings over $100,000 which accumulated during the past fifteen years, in which period he never made less than $1,000 a week and frequently $1,500 a week." The case will probably be reached on the fall calendar of the Special Term of the Supreme Court in Long Island City.

Washington, Sept. M. Follette Robert intends to withhold comment, at least for the present, the attack made on him Charles G. Dawes, Republican Vice Presidential nominee, in speech delivered last night in Mil- waukee.

Intimates of Senator La Follette said today that he probably will make 110 direct reply to General Dawes any time during the the public, particularly in his home paign. feels, they added, coma: State of Wisconsin, is familiar with his record in public life, and that it would be better to keep on the offensive during the campaign than to allow himself to be put on the defensive. In discussing campaign plans with friends, Senator La Follette frequently has remarked that he prefers to abstain from personalities, confining himself in his addresses and statements to discussion of issues. Milwaukee, Sept. 12-Senator La Follette, independent candidate for President, was assailed as the "master and the La Follette independent candidacy was attacked as the "quintessance of demagogism' here in Milwaukee, a La Follette stronghold, last night by Charles G.

Dawes, Republican Vice Presidential nominee. The relation of the La Follette movement to the Constitution was the general theme of Mr. Dawes, who declared that the candidacy of the Wisconsin Senator not only represented the "quintessance of demagogism" but a. "demagogism animated by the vicious purpose of undermining the constitutional foundation of the Republic." The speaker declared that he was confident that Wisconsin on Election Day would stand behind the American flag. Mr.

Dawes left soon after the meeting on the return trip to Evanston. CAPT. FRANCIS G. HEWSON, VETERAN SOLDIER, DIES Capt. Francis G.

Hewson, a veteran of the civil war and active for many years in fraternal life in this boro, died last night in the Brooklyn Hospital following an operation for appendicitis. He was in his 74th vear. He was born in the old 7th Ward in Manhattan and when 12 years of age enlisted as 3 drummer boy in the 69th Regiment. He served throughout the war. He was for more than 50 years one of ing figures of the 69th Regiment Civil War Veterans' Association and was its vice commander at the time of his death.

Although he was born 111 Manhattan, Captain flewson had spent practically his entire life in Brooklyn and was an officer in Columbus Council, No. 126 K. of C. and a member of the Old Timers' Club of Brooklyn Lodge, No. 22, B.

THE WOMAN VOTER A large class of Republican women speakers attended the three-day sessions, ending yesterday, of the speakers school at the Women's National Republican Club. 6 E.

37th Manhattan, conducted by Mrs. Grace D. Vanamee. These speakers will be given a special examination and assigned to various branches of campaign work. Mrs.

Vanamee and Mrs. May M. Gooderson, who is to give the technical training for the Kings County Republican women, today differ in one bit of advice. Mrs. Vanamee said last night, "Dress plainly and avoid cosmetics when you are about to make your campaign speech.

Interest your audience in the subject you are discussing rather than in your personality." Mrs. Gooderson advises, "Make yourself as attractive as possible on the platform. If you have pretty ankles, do not be afraid to show them. Your personality is your strongest asset in winning the attention of your audi. ence.

Then give them something worth Mrs. Charles L. Tiffany, director the League of Women Voters for Greater New York, who spoke yesterday afternoon at the conference of the National Civic Federation on "Get Out the Vote' at the Hotel Astor, announced some of the plans. Radio, motion pictures, newspapers, canvassing and pleas by mail were among the expected methods of the league. She has asked department stores to allow tables within their stores for non-partisan voting literature and to use slips in their outgoing packages, letters and pay envelopes.

She proposed stickers for motorcars. Republican women of the 17th A. D. opened their campaign last night the Invincible Club, 78 Herkimer st. Mrs.

Glenmore 0575-1181 Decatur 1403-1404 DELIVERIES- ANYWHERE IN BROOKLYN DAVIS CONTINUES TOUR AND TALKS; AGAIN FLAYS KLAN En Route to Cheyenne Today. Assail Record of Republican Administration. Denver, Sept. 12-John W. Davis, the Democratic Presidential candidate, was ready today to conclude his campaign in Colorado with rear platform speeches at Brighton and Greeley, en route to Cheyenne, where tonight he will deliver the third of his series of addresses scheduled for the West.

Speaking last night to an audience which taxed the capacity of the Municipal Auditorium, Mr. Davis met the recent claim of the Republican leaders that his party is putting forward too many issues with the declaration that he would meet them on a single ground--the record of their administration of government in the past four years. Assailing that record on the basis of isolation as a foreign policy, the leasing of the naval oil reserves, the tariff, the conduct of the Veterans' Bureau and reclamation and conservation, Mr. Davis said was willing "to try the case on the Re- publican record alone." Sums Up Indictment. Summing up his indictment of the Republican administration, the Democratic standard bearer said it had: "Adopted a foreign policy unsuited alike to the dignity and interests of the American people.

"Enacted in the Fordney-McCumber tariff a law both unjust and extortionate, based on no principle other than greed. "Squandered the national resources and dissipated the naval oil reserves. "Delayed justice to settlers on reclamation projects. "Denied to the veterans of the last and former wars the care and attention that was their due. "Exhibited a fatal lack of concerted action between the President and Congress and shown inability to frame or carry out any consistent policy for the general welfare." "I put to the people of Colorado and the Mr.

A plea for constitutional liberty and constitutional guarantees was made by Mr.

Davis in an address at a luncheon given in his honor by the Civic Clubs of Renver. Declaring that the country had heard much of Americanism and "no little of 100 percent Americanism-whatever that Mr. Davis said the man who believes in human equality, personal liberty and popular sovereignty is an Americanand no other man is. He did not mention the Klan by name. HONDURAS REBELS BESIEGING CAPITAL Situation of Government Becoming More Difficult.

San Juan Del Sur, Nicaragua, Sept. 12-Advices from Honduras are to the effect that Gen. Gregorio Ferrera, the rebel leader, is besieging Tegucigalpa, capital of the country, and that the situation of the government under provisional President Tosta is difficult. The American charge d'affaires is said to have notified the contending factions that they must keep the fighting outside the city. A San Salvador dispatch last night said Gen.

Ferrera, replying to a note from the American charge, had posed a four-day armistice for the purpose of a conference. MORGAN CO. TO TALK LOAN PRINCIPLES Will Discuss German Credit With British Bankers. Paris, Sept. 12--The guiding principles of the first Dawes plan loan to Germany are to be arranged by representatives of J.

P. Morgan Co. in conversations with the British bankers shortly, said Le Matin. New York and Paris, the paper adds. favor dollar loan of 000.000, of which $100,000,000 would placed in the United States, 000,000 in England and $50,000.000 on the Continent, French banks taking $10,000,000 of the continental slice.

Each slice would be independent that is; only negotiable in the country where issued. London, according to Le Matin, disagrees with the plan principally because of "wounded pride" in that the loan is to be in dollars and not in sterling. The Franco-Americans. however. observe that it is to be a gold loan and that the dollar is the only monetary unit in the world on par with gold.

The Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce announced today that the Employees Association of the Morse Dry Dock and Company had unanimously adopted a resolution appealing to Mayor Hylan to build subways in Brooklyn and had authorized the secretary of the group, James M. Doremus, to sign the Chamber's subway petition in behait the organization. Doremus, In connection with the matter, said: "There are within our association, of course, many who have been and are political followers ot Mayor Hylan. They have been willing that he should have every opportunity to make good his promises of subway relief. We all believe that the time come when he should take definite and constructive action.

We cannot wait seven or eight years more for subways. The Mayor will make new friends if he will start at once the work of subway building to which the Chamber of Commerce is urging him." A demonstration and parade will be held in Greenpoint Tuesday, Sept. 23, to give force to the demand of the people on that section for the early building of a crosstown Brooklyn subway. Arrangements for the parade are being made under the direction of Robert Feldra of the Greenpoint Home News. Manufacturers and the business men generally of the Greenpoint district are entering enthusiastically into the demonstration.

There will be a fiveminute cessation of all business during which every whistle in Greenpoint will sound a note of appeal to Mayor Hyian for early action in subway building. With the ending of the vacation period the Women's Subway Committee is preparing for renewed activity. The membership of that committee is being increased by scores every day. Arrangements will be made in the early future for a public meeting at which will be voiced the demand of the women of for action on the part of Mayor Hylan and the Board of Estimate and Apportionment to relieve the present intolerable subway conditions. Charge Low Salaries Block Sewer Construction Following an investigation into the slow progress that is being made by the Sewer Bureau of the 1 Boro of Queens with the plans for the Jamaica, storm water sewer, the Jamaica Board of Trade has forwarded a letter to the Board of Estimate in which are get forth facts showing how low salaries paid entgineers in the various departments by the City of New York are seriously retarding the building of sewlets and other construction work.

ONE WORD AFTER ANOTHER BY NUNNALLY JOHNSON Today, Folks, the Freak Show Barkers! An Amazing, Astounding, Astonishing Group of izards, Unequaled in Any Other Country on the Face of the Earth! Only 3 Cents! HERE, one wonders, do Coney Island barkers come from, and where, too, do they go during the winter? To take a cue from Gilbert Seldes, I there is genius of some soft in these hoarse men who stand outside the I shows along Surf the Bowery, and the cross-streets of the Island. They aren't literary in the sense yet oratorical in the sense that Pater was literary, nor Walter, that the Boy Orator of the Platte was oratorical. Theirs is their own unique talent. I can't, myself, see exactly what good they are. It seems to me that everybody ought to want to go to freak shows, whether a barker is present or not.

And if by some chance he didn't want to go, and by the same chance he saw any one of those masterpieces of oil painting hanging outside the show, he wouldn't, then, be able to resist the temptation to enter, for these freak show poster artists are geniuses as well, as genuine as they are shoddy. Their gall, their brazen effrontery, their bland lies! La-La-Coo, half man and half woman, pictured up there in a one-piece bathing suit, the left side a vision of tossing golden ringlets, smooth white arms, seductive curves, a dainty foot; and the right side, what is known as a specimen of manhood, thick, sturdy, robust, hearty. And inside you behold the model, an unshaved man wrapped in a soiled bathrobe, witn no sign of femininity about his smudgy features and only a paralyzed and deformed arm and leg to inspire this work of imaginative art. It is, perhaps, no less than you expected- -but still it is amazing, this idealized conception. Up there, too, on the poster, Madame endowed an inexplicable nature with four legs; and you see her, a happy, carefree chit of a.

girl, chasing a hoop on four lovely and capable legs. And inside the original, a pitifully painted old woman, her nose sniffing haughtily as she gazes superiorly over the heads of her admirers, and every so often she raises, with a most genteel gesture, her skirt to show the two additional legs, useless pieces of flesh garbed clumsily in doll shoes and stockings. It was out of this that the poster painter drew his inspiration! Fell 40 Feet Yesterday, Works Today; Companion Fell 5 Feet, Still in Bed Abraham Strauss, Thrown OfF Brooklyn Bridge in Crash, Luckier Than Kassin, Who Fell to Roadway. Luck is with Abraham Strauss, the Manhattan dealer in butchers' fixtures, who was hurled from Brooklyn Bridge to the street 40 feet below, yesterday, when a trolley car sideswiped his wagon. Today he is back on the job with nothing but a few bruises to show his narrow escape from death.

One of his companions, however, was not as fortunate. He is Jacob Kassin, 40, of Henry Manhattan. Kassin, although only thrown from the wagon to bridge roadway, is confined to Cumberland Street the Hospital suffering from concussion of the brain. At first it was feared that Strauss, who is 45 years old, had received a fractured skull and possible injuries to his legs. He was taken in an ambulance to the Cumberland Street Hospital, where his case was diagnosed as lacerations of the chin and bruises of the hip.

After treatment he was able to go home. BLAMES MATE'S SUICIDE ON RACETRACK LOSES Heavy losses at the races, according to Mrs. Theresa Stetson of 30 W. 76th Manhattan, probably caused her husband, Thomas. 55 years' old, to commit suicide by inhaling gas yesterday in a furnished room at 322 Stuyvesant ave.

Stetson's body was found by Mrs. Bessie Oettinger, proprietor of the rooming house. Mrs. Stetson was located through papers found on her husband's person. She told the police that Mr.

Stetson, after losing considerable money at the races, left home 10 days ago. "The show is continuous! You see La Belle Reenee, a little woman who I the greatest scientists in the world have studied for years in an effort to discover how she can twist her neck around three times. No other woman in the world has been able to do this and this little lady has a bet of $10,000 deposited in a world famous bank in New York that no other lady in the world can twist her neck around three times! "She is but one of the numerous wonders in this congress of strange people. Another is Fatima, the little lady who eats fire without chemical device protection to protect her from the flames. You see them leap around her, you feel the heat, you see with your own eyes this little lady put this fire in her mouth right before your eyes and eat without harm to herself.

The show costs a dime, two nickels, and Fatima, I feel sure in saying, vou will find to be worth a dollar herself without regards to the other strange people within this tent here.

This is for the men. Come closer, men; get around me where you can hear. Inside here we got the nicest little dancer you want to see.

Little Egypt we call her and she dances on a dime, and all I got to say to the married men here is that if they talk in their sleep they better not come in here, because, men, Little Egypt gives you a 300- preeme exhibition of Oriental steps, moves," etc. The Amerind Democratic Club will hold its annual lawn 'party from 2 p.m. until midnight Saturday, Sept. 20, on the lawn of the club house at Eimhurst, L.
