Just as First Wife Did | a Year Ago, | MARRIED TWO WEEKS. | Couple Just Back From Honeymoon; Met in France While With Army. ‘Mrs- Margaret Woolsey, whose hus- band of « few days, Dr. William C. ‘Wootsey, committed suicide in his of- oe, No, 37) Washington Avenue, Brookiyn, has been located in the/ home of friends in this city. She is Drostrated by the untimely ena of the | man whom ehe married only two ‘weeks ago in her Oklahoma home and with whom she had returned to Brooklyn only last Sunday, Friends of the Brooklyn physteian to-day ascribed his suicide to a nerv- ous’ breekdown, brought on by two years of overwork in France, where he first served with the British forces and then was transferred to the A. E. F. when thie country sent its army abroad. In speaking about the suicide to- day, a fellow physician, who served with Dr. Woolsey overseas, declared the marriage of the physician was the outcome of a war romance. The bride was Margaret McEvoy, and she came from Okmulgee, Okla. As @ nurse, working with the army, she met Dr. Woolsey a year ago, at Brest, France. When the physician joined the A. E. 4F: the romance was interrupted, but they had then agreed to marry as 800n as the opportunity permitted. Both Dr. Woolsey and nurse were discharged from service in February and came back to the United States on the same steamer. On June 14 they were married in the home of the girl's brother, L. C. McEvoy, in Okmulgee. They then camofast and the phy- sician reopened his offices in the Hotel Mohawk, Brooklyn, No, 379 Washington Avenue. The mystery of the disappearance of the bride as soon as she discovered that her husband was dead was ex- plained by her search for friends, she being practically a stranger in New York City, Frank Woolsey, father of the phy- sictan, ig on his way to this city to ‘ take obarge of the body. Dr. Wovlsey killed himself, as did his first wife more than a year ago while he was serving os Major in the Medical Corps in France. She placed a re- volver in her mouth and pulled the trivger. He went into the closet, closed the docr so no sound would be heard, and blew the top of his head off with a .45 calibre automatic Colt he used while in the army. Mrs. Woolsey went into ber hus- band’s office. He was not in the front ~@room, where he treated his patients. Going to the doctor's retiring room, she failed to see him until she opened the door of a clothes closet. Her hus- band’s body then fell at her fect, HELEN BOYLE, KIDNAPPER OF WILLIE WHITLA, FREED “Nevous, but So Happy,” She Says, Leaving Prison Where She Served Ten Years. (Special to The Brening World.)

A pamphlet received to-day by the Mayor's Committees on Rent Profit- cering from “The Tenants’ League,” of which Hyman L Cohn of No, 2311 Crotona Avenue, the Bronx, ts de- seribed as President, announces that the league is formed “to unite the tenants In their many Interests, which their co-operation colild easily de- fend.” It proposes to elect block cap- tains, after the manner of political parties, and draw all tenants into one society, with dues of, say, $1 @ year, “which should ‘lease, buy or build houses for its members” and sub- let them on the co-operative plan, the profits, after deducting running expenses and depreciation, to be di- vided according to the rent each member pays. Four more letters of complaint against the Terry Holding Company, owners of Nos. 210-218 West 140th Street, were received by the Mayor's Committee to-day. Waldo E. Capron of No. 347 West | 58th Strget, whose letterhead de- | seribes him as “a lyric and dramatic tenor and teacher,” takes the trouble to inform the Mayor’s Committee that his landlord, Walter LK. Thompson of No. 327 East 40th Street, has not raised his rent one cent, and adds: “The receipt of his letter should do- crease your personal temperature by several degrees.” The committee's temperature how- ever, went up again when complaints | came pouring in from tenants of other sorts of landlords. A pathetic case is that of a Jeffor- #on Avenue, Brooklyn, tenant, who| says that he has ten children, the eldest fifteen, the youngest born on the 15th of this month necessitating & surgical oporation on his wife. He reports that, although his rent was recently raised, he has now recelved | pereniptory orders to vacate, Two outstanding reports came to- day from widely separated sections of the city. A blind man with three children and a sick wife, after pay- ing rent for a Brooklyn apartment up to June 30, has been ordered to vacate on that date, and a wounded soldier, whose rent was boosted while he was abroad, has now been sorved in disposses proceedings. A delegation of women representing the victims of Monday's wholesale evictions from Nos. 198-204 Brown Place, the Bronx, visited the Mayor's Committee to-day to relate their troubles with Abraham Gold, the owner; Anna Moll, the lessee, and especially with City Marshal Charles J. Moshier, whom they accuse of using unduly severe measures in ejecting them. One woman said the Marshal did not give her time to dresy her five children and they were put upon the street half naked. ccc SCORES SLACKER DIVORCES.
