She has been named Mary Ellin Berlin. The baby was born yesterday in York house, a private sanitarium | Jjust east of Fifth avenue on 72nd street, while Berlin neglected his | Thanksgiving dinner to pace the hospital corridors. Franklin P. Adams, known to newspaper read- ers of his humorous column as “F. | P. A.,” who paced the corridors on his own account a week ago when | a son arrived, was with Berlin. | Mrs. Berlin's father, Clarence | Mackay, president of the Postal Telegraph company, who was re- ported to bave disinherited his' daughter because of the marrlage, was duck hunting on Gardner's Is- Jand, in Long Island Sound, at the time. Her mother, Mrs. Joseph A. Blake, was one of the first to ar- rive at the hospital to congratulate Mrs. Berlin, however. Mrs. Blake cx- | pressed great pleasure at becoming | a grandmother on Thanksgiving day Marriage of the Berlins at municipal building last January caused a sensation from the jazz palaces of Broadway to the fash- lonable apartments of Park avenue. Mr. Mackay expressed his “complete surprise” and declared the marriage took place without his consent or | knowledge. | After thelr marriage, Mr. and Mrs. Berlin spent a week at Atlantic and then salled for a prolonged honeymoon in Europe. Reports that | Mr. Mackay had changed his will| disinheriting Mrs. Berlin could nev- er be verified, although he did au- thorize a statement that no effort was being made toward a recon- ciliation, Berlin has denied that a Roman ®atholic ceremony to win his favor was in prospect. Before sailing, Mrs. Berlin ad- mitted that the love ballads of her husband had won her heart. Upon | their return to New York incog- nito by way of Canada in August, they sought seclusion, however, from the publicity that had attend- ed their European trip. TFor the past few months, the Berlins have been living at a quiet apartment hotel in the East Fiftles, but after his daughter's birth yes- terday.

His con- ition is reported as very serious, an operation performed last eve- ning glving the physicians attending him slight encouragement for his recovery. > ‘Walker, who is a half back on the varsity squad, was on the field against Virginia Polytechnic Insti- tute, the annual Thanksgiving rivals of the cadets, and was kicked in |the head during a scrimmage. Upon examination it was found that he was suffering from a fractured skull and possible injuries to his brain and he was taken to the Jackson hospital.

HAMDEN PROSECUTOR DENIES CELLS DIRTY {New Hampshire Man Pro- tests to Governor of Alleged Treatment Hamden, Conn., Nov. 26 (F—The cells in the Hamden jail are “as clean as any in this section of the " declared Hamden - officlals this morning in denying statements made by W. Wallace Redish, exec- utive secretary of the chamber of commerce, of Keene, N. H., that he was treated llke a “gutter rat” and thrown into a cell “reeking with dirt, filth and vermin” when ar- rested in Hamden. Redish, who was a delegate to the recent New England conference in Hartford, and who was arrested for speeding after the close of the con- ference, has written to Governor Trumbull complaining of the treat- ment he alleges he received in Ham- den. Prosecuting Attorney B. B. Saltz- man, who figured in the Redish case, sald this morning: “In the first place, the statement about the cell room being dirty is untrus. There is no vermin there. Modern equipment was installed two years ago and the place is cleaned every time anyone occuples a cell. It is better than any cell room in these parts.” Redish said he was offered his re- lease upon payment of $35 but as he had but $34.07 in his pockets, he was forced to go to jail. The pros- ecuting attorney, commenting on this phase of the case this morning, said: “T was awakened about midnight when Redish came to my home. I told him he could wait until court opened in the morning or settle for $25 and costs amounting to $35. He plcked up his hat and coat and sald he would stay in the station house. He did not explain who he was but denled he was driving his car 335 miles an hour. “The following morning, when court opened, another case, which we belleved would be a short one, was put on, but there were a great many defense witnesses and the case stretched out until noon, when the judge called a recess. I called the judge back so that the Redish case cou.l bq disposed of. The man did not have enough money in his pockets to pay his fine of $10 and costs and was released upon his promise to send the money upon his return home. This has not yet been recelved. “There was no discourtesy on the part of the police department and the officer on the desk did nothing but follow out the regulations.” George W. Warner, first selectman also denled that the cells at the town hall were unclean. He sald they are located on the first floor of the bullding, are lighted by three or four windows and are kept clean. He emphasized that the four steel cages are in a building which is practically new. Two Drivers to Explain Collision to Judge (Special to the Herald.)
