weP “PER RVENING WORLD, THURSDAY, MARON 10, 1018. : MOTORSALFSMAN |Extravagance Curse of American Woman; Wrecks Lives and Keeps Men at Treadmill SHT THE, WIT WEATHS Victim, Hit in Chest and Ab- domen, in Thirteenth Street, WP Dies in Hospital. GANGSTERS SUSPECTED. Pretty Wife of Fuliano Repeat- edly Insulted by “Gold Mine Jimmy’s” Men. A bundred men and women on their way to work at 7.80 A. M. to-day were startled by half a dozen pistol shots in Thirteenth Street, half way between First and Second Avenues. A young Italian fell to the pavement and a pretty girl with him fell on her knees, shrieking. ‘The wounded man spoke to her re- assuringly in Italian. Presently some of the bystanders carriéd the victim away to the People’s Hospital, whence Dr. Corneille took him to Bellevue, where he died at 10.20. ‘The injured man was Joseph Fullano, who, his brother said, was a salesman for Jandorf & Co., automobile dealers at Broadway and Fifty-ninth Street, One bullet plerced his chest, the other entered his abdomen. ‘The young woman was his wife, Josephine, who is employed as & seamstress by Jacobson & Co., No. 3 West Thirty-first Street. They were on their way to tho subway together, for the pretty wife needed protection from the survivors of “Gold Mine Jimmy's” gang, which has long in- fested the neighborhood and insulted wirl as well as terrified shopkeepers. ‘The man who fired the shots is de- scribed as a short, swarthy fellow of twenty years, black-haired, smooth- faced, wearing a blue suit, a gray overcoat and @ gray golf cap, drawn well down over his eyes. Ag soon as had emptied his pis- tol he ran into the hallway of No, 381 East Thirteenth Street, out through the back yard and over the fence. ‘Thence it was easy for him to get to Fourteenth Street, where he was seen walking slowly toward Firat Avenue by people who knew nothing of the shooting in the next block. Salvatore Fullano, the victim's brother, became hysterical at Belle- vue when he learned hew sertously his brother was hurt, but even then he tried to keep from saying anything that would sound like accusation of "Gold Mine Jimmy’ gang. “My brother and I,” he said to The Evening World reporter, “live in the same house. Bach of us has a pretty wife. The girls have been insulted in the streets again and again. Mo, I can't tell you who did it. “One of the gang bumped into me om Tuesday night in First Avenue. I turmed and looked at him, and he and two others came at me with knives, My brother heard me yell, came out with # big stick and drove the gang away. “Lasi night in the hallway of our heme two men knocked me down, beat me and took my watoh. No, no; 1 don't know who they are. Now they have finished my brother.” ‘The Jandorf Automobile Company said that Fullano is not in its employ and that nothing was known about bin. Efforts were made to get Mrs. Fu- iano to describe the man who shot her husband. “My God, [ could kill him with my two hands!" she cried. “I did not see his face. L heard @ shot, my husband fell, ‘Then five more shots and a man was running away. That is all I TSB FNE AR ADAEYS, UIT MEAT Flush the Kidneys at once when Back hurts or Bladder bothers.

Y., Mareh .—Five highwaymen operating dure. ing the night along the West Shore Railroad held up one man, robbed him and cut his throat and later en- tered the railroad station here, shot and killed the night telegraph operator and escaped after taking $40 from the cash drawer. George Griffen, whose throat was cut, was taken to the Kingston Hos- Hotaling, was found near his tele- graph key. There were three bullets in bis body and ‘death had been al- most instantaneous. Apparently, his ilants had fired from inside the station. An unfinished report which lay on his desk indicated that the shooting occurred between 1 and 2 o'clock in the morning. An examination shows that ‘the | operator put up a hard fight, for two or three bullets fired from his own revolver have been dug out of the walls in the place where he was at work, ‘ Griffen staggered into a school with his throat cut early last night. He said that he had been attacked by three men as he was walking along the railroad track from West Park to Highlands, The bandits, he sald, had robbed him of $3 and cut his throat.

That this remarkable rule is the lew of this land to-day was brought to public notice, late yesterday, by a decision handed down by Justice Morachauser in the Supreme Court at White Plains, in the caso of Ludwig Kuenstler vs. Andre and Mary Hopke.

The services of the wife be- Jong to the husband during marriage while they live together, and so do her earnings. The wife may engage to separate the earnings, she muy do 50 by agreement. Otherwine, the hus- bard !s entitled to her carnings. ‘There are several cases in which this principle han been settled, The Court of Appeals, the highest court in the Btate, bas passed on it.” No matter whether Suffragists or anti-Suffragists, all the women to whom the decision was shown were unanimous in denouncing the law, “Tt is most unjust,” said Comm! sioner of Correction Katherine B. Davis. “Marriage should be a part- nership. Each partner should share in the earnings of the other, or else there should be an agreement that each should be allowed to keep his or hi own earnings.
