"MRS. E. B. ALSOP VIGTIM OF DRUGS Diyorced Wfle of Millionaire in " New York Hospital New York, Oct. 5.—She who was Miss Eftle Pope Hill of Macon, Ga., the pretty blonde girl who ten years ago—when she was 17-—became the bride of Edward B. Alsop, then 77, u weaRhy manufacturer of Pittsburgh and Washington, was removed last night from a dingy furnished room at 61 West 47th street apd taken to Bellevue hospital suffering from al- ooholism and drug poisoning. Other tenants at the house, who said that Mrs. Alsop's actions for several days had been disquieting, to put it mildly, sent for Dr. J. Rosen of 138 West 74th street late in the afternoon, He told her she must go to a hospital, but she refuséd. The physician went out and told Patrol- man James McDonnell, who sum- moned an ambulance from Flower hospital. Dr. Goldstein, aided by Dr. Rosen and some of the tenants, threw & wrap around Mrs, Alsop when she refused to dress and carried her to the ambulance. At Bellevue it was sald that she probably would recover. Veronal 1s the drug which she evidently has been taking, physicians said. When she; was married to Mr. Al- eop in 19{2 she had a home in Fifth avenue, a honeymoon trip to Europe and all the spending money she want- ed. But not for long. Two months after the ceremony Mr. Alsop trans- ferred $1,000,000 worth of property ‘to his two sons, who were students at Harvard. Three years later he .sued for divorce, alleging desertion, and in 1916 he was awarded a decree in Pittsburgh. She also sued for di- vorse and advised young girls not to marry eld men. Miss Hill was 14 years old, and was running about the lawn of a hotel at| Lake Toxaway, N. C.,, when Mr. Alsopl eaw her first. At one time she was a tclephone operator at the Hotel Knickerbocker and later a chorus girt for a week.

Creasy, who had only a few hours previously been convicted of murder in the first degree for killing Miss Fdith Lavoy at Freeport last June. Creasy wept when his father entered his cell, but the elder man patted him on the shoulder and said: “Brace up, lad. If you have to xu to the electric chair, go llke a man." James Creasy and his daughter, Mrs. Hortense Warriner, started.for their homes in Virginia yesterday. Henry M. Uterhart, counsel for the convicted man, sald he would make the usual appeal.

C, Oct. b5.—New York city will have transcontinental air mail service to the Pacific coast in one continuous movement by next June if the plans of post office offi- clals succéed, This would mean de- Iltvery of letters In §an, Franclsco within thirty hours after being mall- ¢d in New York, To make this possible a night flying service will be established. For the last four months the department has conducted an intensive series of ex- periments which have reached the stage where Second Assistant [Post- master-General Henderson predicts it is entirely possible to fty with the mail at night. “If we are successful in this,” sald Mr, Henderson, “it will mean that we will be able to make transcontinental flights from New York to San Fran- cisco in one econtinupus movement, flying from New York to Chicago in the daytime, Chicago to Cheyenne at night and from Cheyenne to San Francisco during the early part of the second day. We should be able to establish and maintain a schedule of twenty-eight to thirty hours between New York and San Francisco if this night flylng proves out, *Our plan for night flying,'” he sald, “includes an emergency landing field every twenty-flve miles, with the pro- per fleld lights and with a beacon | light visible for a distance in excess of twenty-five miles. The fields will have two cinder runweays to be bor- dered with lights, The planes will be equipped with searchlights. This will permit landing safely at night.” Mr. Henderson thinks that when the air mail gervice “comes into its own" there will be g special stamp for this class of service, which will cost from 10 to 15 cents. DANCER GETS $10,000. Motion Pictures of Past Activity Shown to Jury. New York, Oct. b6—Willlam H. Gibson of 29 Manhattan avenue, once an eccentric dancer on vaudeville circuits, won a verdict of $10,000 yes- terday in the Supreme Court, Queens, hefore Justice Norman 8. Dike, against Basil N.

C., Oct, 5,—There will be po new taxes levied at the coming session of congress despite the impending deficit of $650,000,000 for the hext fiscal year. The house ways and means committee has told ad- ministration leaders the country ecan- not stand any additional taxation and that no new sources of revenue can be tapped. During the discussion of the subject the proposal for a general sales tax has been considered, but the conclu- sion was that such a measure never could pass the house, The federal government is spend- ing more than $500,000,000 per annum to care for and train the disabled veterans, and, in the opinion of Sen- ator Borah (Utah), that item will reach $1,000,000,000 per annum in a few years. DEFICIT, TO AUCTION SEAL SKING Alaska Catch for United States Reach- es 30,000 For The Year. Seattle, Oct. 5.—The take of seal skins at Pribiloff Islands, Alaska, this summer is worth $3 600,000, accord- ing ‘to advices received here by Har- ry Christoifers, agent of the United States Bureau of Fisheries. The na- tives employed by the government have zlain 30,000 seals this summer, as compared with 26,500 last year. The skins taken last year still are in the hands of the government, hav- ing been held because of low prices. The price is good now, Mr. Christ- offers sald, and the 56,500 pelts of the two seasons are to be auctioned soon at St. Louls. The whale catch is put at 820 as the North Pacific whaling season nears its close, the estimated oil pro- duction being 30,000 barrels. Three hundred whales and 11,600 barrels of oil are credited to the station of the North Pacific Sea Products company at Akutan, Alaska. Eighteen whal- ing boats have been in operation. “RISSING BUG" WRECKED He Appears in Court Looking Like Football Victim. New York, Oct. 5—When Tony Teletoff, 40, of 961 Grand street, Brooklyn, saw two women talking at Grand street and Union avenue, Brooklyn, he told himself he had never seen such pretty women and |decided that each should be kissed. He never got that far. When they finished with him, he looked as 'though he had been playing football. The women, Mrs. Margaret Schwab of 949 Grand street and Mrs. Margarét Neiminger of 396 Knickerbocker avenue, turned him over to Policeman Hayden who bundled him off to the Gates avenue court. He was held in $500 ball charge of disorderly conduct, on a When You Think of Having a Checking Account do you go a step further and consider, - that besides being a real convenience, it will prove to be a far safer and more sure method of paying your bilis?

WOMEN OF SEDEN FOR PROHIBITION! 87 Per Cent, Against Beverages of an Intoxicating Nature —e e Stockholm, Oct. 5.—That 57 per cent of Sweden's women favored pro- hibition of the manufacture and sale of beverages contalning more than two and one-fourth per cent of - cohol, while 60 per cent of the men were against it, is now apparent from a further count of the votes cast at the recent liquor referendum which has returned Kohler & New Britains= | resulted in a victory for the ‘'wets." Sweden now will continue the pres- ent ratloning system, whereby the heads of famlilies who prove that they are respectable and self-support- ing can purchase about a gallon of strong liquor per month, while any one can order drinks with meals un- der 'legal restriction at public res- taurants, The final tabulation shc“s that in Stockholm, Gothenburg, and Malmoe, as well as in other cities and subur- ban districts, both men and women were strongly against prohibition, while in the country districts in gen- eral, especially in the northern part of Sweden, both men and women were as a rule in favor of prohibi- tion. In the capital, for example, 90 per cent of the men and 83 per cent of the women were against the pro- posed measure. This may be con- trasted with a certain agriculturar section where 90 per cent of the women and 73 per cent of the men wanted two and one-fourth per cent drinks. It is interesting to note fhat the majorities of men and women were on the same side of the question in 14 provinces out of 25, while in the other 10 provinces the two sides or the family seem to disagree in themr tast for stimulants. That Swedish women do not ne- glect the ballot is proved by the fact that in Stockholm ‘they outnumbered the men at the polls by more than 9,000. And the showing for the en- tire country was 800,000 women as against 938,000 men. The voting which took place Sun- day, August 27, was conducted In the most orderly fashion. Lines be- gan to form at nine in the morning at the various polling places in Stock- holm. Among those who voted early were Premier Branting and his wite, who voted against prohibition, as did also Dr. Bratt, Sweden's "drink dlic- tator,” who is the originator of the present rationing system. Gay propa- ganda was carried on throughout the day by both sides by means of parades, mounted heralds and even alrplanes. At night the square in front of the Royal Opera was packed with thousands of people who amused themselves by watching the bulletins of results until three in the morning. HARVARD FRESHMEN 10 PER CENT. JEWISH Ratio Increases Over That of Last Year According to Records in Registrar's Office Cambridge, Mass., Oct, 5,—Harva*l authorities, while not making public exact figures on the proportion of Jewish students admitted into the freshman class this vear, say that 10 per cent is a fair cstimate. According to figures prepared from: questionnaires, which have just been completed at the Phillips Brooks House, 97 of the freshmen admitted gave their religion as Jewish. Last year the number was 62, About 850 are registered as fresh- men this year and this percentage of Jewish freshmen was unexpectd, While a statement of religious faith is not required trom every one .4'1-! mitted to Harvard, every new student | is asked to state his belief and nhm,\‘ comply. Leading Jewish students ad-| mit that the increase was unexpectea. HUST JOIN CHURCH | Decree Issued Declaring That All Residents of the Far East Have to Become Members. Vladivostok, Siberia, Oct. eral Diedrichs, dictator of the Prim- oria, has issued a decree declaring that all residents of the JFar East must-be members of the church, hop- ing oy this means to counteract the| growing influence of boishevism and | communism, Another decree abolisi- es capital punishment. The first ¢ cree is not likely to be generally served as a larger portion of the| population here have grown up in complete ignorance of the teachings of Christianity. The first sentence of the second decree reads “On Augus{ 18th I happened to witness the ‘Liquidation’ of a group of communists who were captured by the agents of the sceret service and killed without trial. This method of ‘liquidation’ 1 consider one that has been taken from the bolshevihs."
