The woman began a sult for separation and the court granted her $150 for counsel fees and $15 a week alimony. Si{llman declared he never would pay the money, and #o did his father, H. B.

Mr. Morse, who was President of the American Ice Company and who fs an official in severml banks and other financial institutions, was not expected and his arrival was a surprise. His name did not appear on the regular printed passenger list. Mrs. Morse, who was first Mrs, Dodge and whose marriage to Mr. Morse be- came legal on the declaration that her |alvorce from Dodge was legal, was un- derstood to have preceded the Ice King to Europe a month before he left. Among the passengers were many notable foreigners coming to this coun- try to attend the opening of the St. Louls Exposition. Some of these were Hugo von Kupffer, chief editor of the Herlin Lokal Anzelger; Dr, Jullus Koll- mann, chief editor of the Frankfurter Zoltung, and Adolph Sohwarta, ohlef editor of the Wiener Frele Presse.

CHILOREN HATE ATTACKS WOMAN Aged “Denny” Harrington Hits Mrs. Hattie Bloom with Axe Because She Entertained Her Boy and Girl Friends. Although Mrs, Hattie Bloom has no children she loves the little ones of her neighbors, and aged “Denny” Harring- ton, himself not blessed with children, hates everybody's little ones, a condi- tion that led to the arraignment of Har- rington in the West Side Court to-day on a charge of attempting to kill Mrs. Bloom. ‘The sesaflant and his victim live in the tenement at No, 416 West Fifty- second street, Mra, Bloom and her husband, James, have lived there for many years, but Harrington, who Is a veteran of the civil war, moved In only about six months ago. The house is full of children, and every one of them calls Mrs. Bloom “Aunty.” She takes care of them while their mothers are out at work, and no child in the house has ever been dis- appointed after entering the Bloom apartments in the expectation of secur- ing a plece of candy or cake, Harrington hates nolsy children. Be- fore he had been in the house @ week all the juveniles feared him, He spilled hot water on them, chased them with hig cane and generally harassed them, Mrs, Bloom often reproached him for it. f those kids make any more noise,” said Harrington to Mrs. Bloom ye day, “I'll kill you before night." 7 James Bloom went out of the house last night and when Harrington saw him go he got an axe and proceeded to the Bloom apartments, He called for admission, and when it was refused started to batter in the kitchen door. Mrs, Bloom ran to the door just as it was demolished and Harrington struck her on the face with the blunt\ end of the axe, inflicting a terrible wound, Undoubtedly he would have killed her had not Edward Forrest and other ten- ants jumped upon him and taken away the axe. They were using him with scant ceremony when the police arrived and took him to the West Forty-sev- enth street station house. Mri “I don’t like children, I hate them,” resp the aged Harrington in court to- jay. . “This woman was always en- couraging them little devils in that house and I thought I'd finieh her.” —— Kenhon’s Man Gets $2,500 Job, Patrick Deary was appointed by the Mayor yesterday to the newly created office of Superintendent of Weights and Measures.
