Whether or not the strange mar- Fiage pact entered into by Ernest H. } fils girl wite Frances has proved suc- essful after a ten years’ trial ts | the question which a jury before Su- | Preme Court Justice Bijur was called upon to decide to-day. ‘The: present Mrs. Glass, who sued her husband for divorce and who in turn was herself sued, was formerly the importer’s sister-in-law. After Many reconciliations with his first wife, Giass told the jury he was forced to divorce her for unfaithful- ‘Beas. When the sist#, the present Mra.

The same old trouble, Glass told the Jury, arose to estrange the couple— the @bpearance of a young and hand- some artist, George Chretien, a bach- @lor. His pretty wife was living in @ fashionably furnished apartment ‘when detectives raided the place and found the pair together, the husband teatined.

Which is the sternly reassuring Headquarters: taint of incurable disease. must one, therefore, burgle? T asked Dr. J. Gardner Smith of No. 21 West One Hundred and Twenty- second Street. Dr. Smith has made a spec! tudy of eugenics and the law of inheritance, and has even conduct- ed a course in eugenics at the Mount Morris Baptist Church. And his an- swer was a good round “No.” “You oan shak your ancestral closet,” he observed cheerily, “no matter if he's drunkard, thief or murderer. You haven't inher- ited his crime, nor the obligation to follow in his ity is a factor in our lives, but | believe that environment and per- sonal determination count for a great deal more.” DRINK, NOT ANCESTRY, CAUSED HER CRIME. Then Dr. Smith read Miss Blower’s plea, and his eyebrows lifted @ bit as he leaned back in his chair. “It's easy to see what was the trouble in that particular case,” he commented. “That woman didn't steal because her grandmother and father were lawbreakers and she in- herited the criminal impulse from turned o1 them. She stole because she wanted a drink, A confirmed alcoholic of ab- solutely honorable and upright stock will steal the rings off his wife's fingers if he nts a drink and can’t get the money to buy it any other way.” . “Then there is no such thing as a criminal family?” I asked. “Yes, there are criminal familles,” Dr. Smith corrected; ‘that is, familles of which every member for several generations committed one or mor@ crimes, Dr. Davenport of the Cold Harbor Research Laboratory has traced such stocks, But I don’t believe t even in these instances crime or the compulsion to commit criminal acts was actually inherited, What was handed down was not any special psychosis or neurosis, but a more or less unstable nervous organization.

Dorothy Blower was arraigned in court the other day for stealing a valuable set of furs from a woman who had been her hostess at a Christmas dinner. Dorothy Blower is the granddaughter of the notorious receiver of stolen goods, “Mother” Mandelbaum, and the daughter of Sam Kohler, who has a sensational record as a swindler. 4 ‘ She pleaded guilty of the theft, but appeared greatly depressed over it.

TIDE AT HIGH RECORD. Erie Waiting Rooms Flooded and Passengers Forced to Walk Plank Bridges. ‘Within an hour after Street Clean- ing Commissioner John T. Fetherston called out the first reserve army of 15,000 unemployed—enlisted as emer- gency snow-fighters—at noon to-day the sixty recruiting stations in Man- hattan were stormed by thousands of fighting, struggling men anxious for the first opportunity to seize a shovel and earn @ part of the $100,000 the storm ia likely to cost the city. More than 40,000 unemployed are regintered on the books of the depart- ment in Manhattan, the Bronx and Brooklyn, As the one and seven- tenths inches of slest now covering the olty will require but one eight: hour shift of 15,000 men, there was a brisk scramble to be among the’ first 15,000 in line. Members of the first reserve were ordered to report at the stationa at noon. As fast as they arrived they were sent out In squads of nine mén, each squad under the leadership of a member of the regular force. By $ o'clock the entire first reserve was on the streets. “These firat 15,000 men to be called will work up to 11 o'clock to-night,” explained Commissioner Fetherston. “If the snow continues and at ‘that hour the streets are not cleanod the {second reserve of 15,000 will be put to work through the eight-hour ayght shift, a ‘Each shift is coating the city $20,- 000, but while an expense to the ad- ministration, it ts a comfort to know that the unemployed are getting the benefit of it.” A canvass of the recruiting stations showed conditions among the unem- ployed to be much more acute in Manhattan than in Brooklyn. With the first streak of daylight thousands of men, gaunt and duffering from malnutrition, besieged the Manhattan’ stations. Although the official word to start work was not flashed through the city until noon, hardly a man had left the line of the sixty Manhattan stations. ‘ In Brooklyn most of the reserves had given up in despair of work long before noon, When the order finally did come, Police Commissioner Woods was obliged to send word to every precinct in that borough, ordering the patrolmen to rout out the re- serves at their homes. ‘The three contractors having the snow removal privilege in Manhat- tan, the Bronx and Brooklyn were not ordered out. ‘The pay of the emergency men will be thirty cents an hour, with a bonus of ten cents an bour if tasks set are completed within a preacribed time. This will give the bonus men $3.20 a day and the others $2.40, Commissioner Fetherston and his staff remained in their offices all night, The regular night shift of 3,000 sweepers, drivers and stablemen managed to handle the snowfall adequately. The easterly gale piled up a high tide that came near to making a new record. Bill Quigley, King of the Bat- tery, said he never saw it higher. Acdrding to the Hydrographic w | Bureau the tide should have reached {te highest mark at 9.08 A. M., but at that time it was just beginning to enjoy a good climb.
