WERNER NO HERO: “RESCUE” AFAKE, HEIRESS WIFESAYS Former Giulia Morosini De- clares Ex-Policeman Never Saved Her Life. READY TO PROVE STORY | Whole Thing Was, a Press Agent’s Yarn, Close Friend Asserts, Apparently not content with seeking @n annulment of her marriage to Ar- thur M.'Werner, the former policeman, Mrs. Giulia Morosini Werner to-day pushed her husband from his place ia the hero class. It has been assumed for six years! that Werner, while riding his beat on hile educated police horse, “Mr. Jones," stopped a runaway and saved the of the then CHulla Morosini, thereby earning a place in her regard that eventually brought about their mar- riage. | But Mrs. Werner authorized to-day, | through a friend, the statement that ‘Werner never saved her life. The run-| away, according to Mrs. Werner, was | a@ myth. If Werner denies her state- | ment she is prepared, her friend says, to establish by documentary evidence | that Werner employed a press agent to spread among the newspapers Bid story of the alleged heroic deed. | The friend of Mra, Werner called} to mind the fact that nothing was| printed about the herole rescue at the time it was alleged to have oc.) curred, The story came out many months later, when Werner was em-| ployed by the late anni Moro- sini to act as superintendent of the Ig estate at Riverdale. FATHER'S LOVE FOR HORSES LED TO FIRST MEETING. According to Mrs. Werner, her father first met Werner when the Jatter was a mounted policeman at- tached to the Highbridge precinct. | Werner's beat took in Riverdale ave- | nue, which skirts the Morosini prop- | elder Morosini was a great | and was attracted by | Werner's fine mount. From casual | conversation the two men became} great friends, and finally Mr. Moro- aint offered Werner the position of superintendent of the estat Werner, the friends of Mra, Werner say, has never lost his liking for po- licemen. For a long time ft was his custom to entertain mounted cops on the Elmhurst property. On one oc- casion Inspector Schmittberger made a night raid on the Elmhurst barns and found several police horses there. ‘Two policemen were Jismissed as a result of this raid. Mrs, Werner has heard recently of several parties given by her husband at Elmhurst during her absence in the South last September, These parties were elaborate affairs. At one of them, at least, the guest of honor was a woman who, Werner said, was his cousin, Servants in the household have since told Mrs, Werner that the guest was Werner's former wife. HUSBAND WILL BE ALLOWED TO PACK HIS CLOTHES. Announcement was made to-day at Elmhurst that Werner will be al- lowed to enter the house on Thure- @ay morning between 10 o'clock and noon for the purpose of collecting and removing his personal effects. 'The information was spread through Arthur H. Coombs, the new manager of the estate. “I see,” sald Mr. Coombs, “that Mr. Werner says the situation up here HEAVY MEAT EATERS HAVE SLOW KIDNEYS Eat less meat if you feel Backachy or have Bladder Trouble. No map or woman who eats meat regu- larly can make a mistake by flushing the kidneys occasionally, says « well-known authority, Meat forms uric which ites the kidneys, They become over- worked from the strain, get sluggish and fail to filter the waste and poisons from the blood, then we get sick.

ROROTHY AIKEN reminds him of a comic opera. Well, let him come up and try to put any- thing across—a gun play for instance. Hoe will find himself up against a tragedy. “Thero is a heavy guard around the house and in the house to keep Mr. Werner out. But he bas some per- sonal belongings here, his wife has told me—shirts, collars, socks, a toothbrush and things like that—and thes belong to him, The house will be opened to him next Thursday morning, All the re- porters, photographers and moving picture mon will be allowed to ac- company air, Werner when he comes atter his things, Mr. Werner has been worrying und harassing his wite for a long time. He will get a dose of his own medicine if he comer up here.” Mrs. Werner was in the house to- day, but refused to see anybody. She spent yesterday downtown, returning homo last night at 10 o'clock in an antome with her brother Gio. vanni, All of Riverdale and South Yon- kers is buzzing with stories of the trouble in Elmburst that led up to the action of Mrs. Werner in barring her husband from the house. It ap- pears that the disagreement has been of long standing, ——_->—___. REGARDS ROCKEFELLER AS DUMMY DIRECTOR Congressman Plans New Legislation Based on Testimony Given by the Young Man. WASHINGTON, April 7,—Logisla- tion against “Dummy” directors may be recommended to the House by the committee as the result of John 1, Rockefeller’s testimony yesterday, Chairman Foster held to-day that while John D, Rockefeller jr., may be the power behind the throne in the Colorado Fuel & Iron Company, he is nevertheless a “dummy” director by virtue of his absence from meetings for several years, and from his lack of personal supervision of the strike field. “Rockefeller'’a testimony gave me an idea which I am now turning over in my mind,” said Mr, to-day, “I think there ought to be geome legislation against dummy. di- rectors, Soinething is needed to bring closer contact between the company—the head men—and the employees, Just what Congress can do about it is a matter of doubt just now, but I think Rockefeller’s talk showed we need some change,” Foster paid tribute to the young millionaire as “a very clever young the ban on the use of intoxicating Mquors at military gatherings was adopted teat night by the National Lancers, nected with the Beate Multia. ‘The order ‘will’ go. into effect at a dinner on June 14, celu- Foster | i | | FOURTEEN BEAUTIES AND MASCOT “PANTS” BAGK FROM EUROPL “Finishing Class” of the Finch School Picked Up Some Knowledge and Canes. It would be difficult to find fourteen more bea ‘iful girls than those of the “finishing class" of the Finch School, who returned from Europe on the George Washington of the North Ger- man Lioyd to-day. The crowd on the pier awaiting friends gazed at the beauties as they tripped down the gangway, each of them twirling a cane and all carefully watched over by a chaperone. The girls, who are graduates of the Finch School, No, 61 East Seventy- seventh street, went abroad under the chaperonage of Miss Helen Husted on Jan, 8 They have since visited <1 the points of interest in Italy, Switzerland and Paris, ‘The primary object of the trip was study, but the girls, when the chaperone was not looking, admitted that they had man- aged to have a lot of fun and that a few of them had received proposals.

WIVES FAINT AS GUILLOTINE READY BOND SWINDLERS | Women Hysterical in Court| Gutierrez, When Judge Sentences Sterling Debenture Men, Declaring that residents of New York with itching palms must learn that they cannot satisfy their greed for money by bleeding the people of America, United States Judge An- derson to-day imposed sentences of six years each on George -H. Middie- brook, Frank W. Shumacher and Harry H. Platt, officials of the Ster- ling Debenture Corporation. Benja- min C. Mudge, an inventor, was given four years and Elwyn A. Bar- ron, Wilbur M. Stone and W. 8. Ed- wards three years each, All were connected with the corporation, Platt collapsed when the sentence was imposed, but was revived im- mediately. Schumacher’s wife fainted in the arms of her son, while the wives and daughters of other de- fendants wept hysterically. Judge Anderson's arraignment of the convicted men was caustic, and {even before the sentences were Im- Posed it was seen that none of the | prisoners would be given suspended sentenc No indication was given as to the disposition of Frank E. Winchell and Samuel Findlay, who pleaded guilty beginning of the trial and were used as government's witnesses. “Two or three of these defendants appeal to my sympathies,” said Judge Anderson, “but I cannot disregard the facts that they had several op- portunities to quit and failed to take them. They were investigated by the Post-Office Inspectors. They knew they were under suspicion. Their present assertion that they did not know what was golng on is absurd. “The attorneys speak of good repu- tations enjoyed by these men. Per- sons must have good reputations to obtain the confidence of people so as to operate such a business, “It I understand aright, the Oxford Lincoln Mills were not the only ex- ploitations illegally undertaken by these people, The Telepost Company was another of their schemes, They appropriated the hard earnings of poor school teachers. milliners, farm- ers and laborers. perfectly plain that the rep- resentations of the company wero outrageously false. The stock divi- dends were paid from stock sales to whet the appetites of investors. ‘The defendants are all guilty, but my sympathies go out to Mr. Barron more than to the others, He is not a business man and he was sought after and pursued by Schuma r He was a literary man, an idealist and he had brains. ause of this I think he could not have been en- trely innocent. “The defendants have taken an enormous amount of money, accord- ing to my standards.

From stories told by rebels, this Is only one of the many instances where the women and children of rebel officers have been taken from Saltillo by the Federals and sent to other cities and to supposedly hor- rible fates, It is sald that in some cases the women have been given to the Federat soldiers, Gen, Gutierrez says ho will leave Juarez in two or three days to re- sume his campaign against San Luis Potosi. “My outposts are within eight kilometres of the capital of that state and I expect to capture the place this time, Fourteen thousand men are under arms in the state and | I can send them all against the city.
