SUING, SHE SAYS » Essence of American Life; — WNIING FATHER HEARS ADMIRAL NILES DROPS [GIVES UP REGIMENT “‘Publicity’’ the Essence of American Life; ing & decree was granted. This, the wife swears, she indignantly refused, whereat her husband used abusive aad obscene language toward her. Mrs. Anderson adde tbat her hus- band not only warned storekeepers not her credit, but that he caused and electric supply to be turned Off and also notified the ¢elephone com- pany to stop Its service. All this, she says, compelled her to move out of the Montclair residence and to an apartment in Manhattan, where she is with her boy. She alleg husband was intimately associated with several notorious women and that she regarded it unsafe for her to further live with him. She demands the custody of her son and says he should at once be removed from the influence of his father. DRIVES CHILDREN AWAY, THEN HANGS HIMSELF ON PLAYGROUNDS Unidentified Man Commits Suicide With Bit of Wire on Baseball Backstop. Children on the playgrounds under the Manhattan Bridge last night were epproached by @ poorly dressed man, about ¢wenty-five years old, who ordered to go somewhere else for their fun, Tae children aia not understand and protested, but the man became threat- ening and then forced them to go to some other part of the playgrounds The man then disappeared behind the backstop on the baseball field, Half an hour later P. Lewin, a clerk, of Me, 68 Market street, was passing across the baseball field when he saw the body of a man banging from the Dackstop. The man’s feet were about four feet from the ground. Lewin called Patrolman Miller of the Madison said the man had been dead only a short time. From the position of the body it was evident that the man had climbed to the top of the backstop, and forming @ noose out of a piece of strong wire whieh waa tied to the top board, had let himself down and strangled to death. ‘There was no money in his clothing amd nothing by which he could be iden- tifed. The body was sent to the morgue. 1 dies w Sere cat tt mt Worl forma- Time — The Transpor- tation Is Vile.” Perfectly her just published volume, and unconsciously funny! and read and chuckle some more. “1 do not find any particular rush,” she starts off bilthely, “If the people of America were not slow by nature, and slower by habit, they would not Wait for hours at barbers’ shops to be shaved, and lol! about on sofas during the process.
