RU ne ie rene 1A GIRL DISAPPEARS, SUICIDE FEARED and Plaintiff's Identity Kept From Record. Mrs, Charles Potter Kling, daugh- ter of former Senator William A. Clark of Montana, has otained an in- Werlocutory decree of divorce in the Bupreme Court of Rockland County, At was learned to-day, Mr. Kling, who 4s living in Paris, made no defense, Mrs, Kling lives at No, 7 East 5ist Street, and is prominent in society here, in Washington and Newport. The identities. and addresses of the Parties to the suit did not appear in the Rockland County records, which merely gave the named “Mary C. Kling and Charles Kling,” and the testimony did ‘not bring out Mrs. Kling’s maiden name. The identities were traced from the wedding date given by Mrs. Kling in her testimony. Seven witnesses, whose names were guarded with close secrecy, testified in support of the misconduct charges made by Mrs. Kling. Reports had been ‘heard for some time of disagreements between the couple, but only Mrs. Kling’s most intimate friends knew @ divorce was pending. Mrs. Kling 4s a favorite of her father, who set- led a fortune on her in her own right. Women, unnamed, were said to be the cause of the couple’s estrange- ment. Trips of Mr. Kling to Boston and other places were testified to and Justice Tompkins told Arthur Row- Jand of Yonkers, who appeared for Mrs. Kling, he would issue the inter- locutory decree in New City. Mrs. Kling was Miss Mary, Clark and her first marriage was to Dr. Everett Mallory Cufver. Eleven years Jater she obtained a divorce in White Plains and the custody of their daugh- ter, Miss Katherine Culver, now Mrs, Rodney Williams. A year later, Feb. 6, 1905, she was married to Kling, Senator Clark then had settled an income of $200,000 a year on his daughter. Kling’s father ran a hotel in Augus- ta, Me. He went to Harvard and ame here, becoming a clerk in the law firm of Evarts, Choate & Beaman, Kling and his wife spent consider- tble time abroad and at Newport. She caused a stir at the fashionable Thode Island colony by, personally going her marketing. +In 1915 the Klings’ son, Gerald, six years old, died in Newport after an operation. Senator Clark once put $1,000,000 in the boy's stocking for a Christmas present. At about the time the then Mrs. Culver sued Dr. Culver for divorce, an alienation suit was brought against her by Mrs. Solon J. L. Vilasto, but was discontinued.

Miss Clarice Nieman,, twenty-four, daughter of Hans Niemann, an in- surance broker of 50 Union Square, Manhattan, living at 920 57th Street, Brooklyn, disappeared last night at the Times Square Subway Station, while accompanying her father from the home of a ‘friend to Brookly The police have been asked to search for her. The father believes she may have attempted suicide. Miss Niemann, who is pretty, was dressed in mournfhg for her mother, who died two months ago after an illness of three years. The girl was in almost constant attendance on her and the death was a great shock. The daughter had frequently talked of ending her own life. She wore two diamond rings worth $200 each. Mr. Neiman found she had been home and had obtained $2 which a neighbor owed to her and then left, telling the neigbhor not to tell her father that she had been there. Mrs. Marie Titz of 2220 Amsterdam Avenue, Manhattan, an aunt, said the girl had left a message in her absne: saying ‘Tell my aunt she will never see me again.’’ a ek ee aed $100,000 GEM ROBBERY BAFFLES DETECTIVES Search of Pal Car Falls Solve Mystery.

Magistrate Oberwager of Yorkville Court has got to tackle the ancient debate between morality and art and make up his mind whether little Mi; nonne Moore of Gypsy Land was a nice girl or not when she was danc- ing there Saturday night for the en- tertainment of the Broadway, crowd that goes there after hours. Gypsy Land is a Hungarian cabaret at No, 807 East 83d Street. Detectives Massie and Raihl were there Saturday night with a couple of lady friend and they say it was awful the way Mignonne danced in violation of sec- tion something or other of the made and provided. Just what the dance was like they failed to say, and Mignonne—who was in court as a defendant—failed to demonstrate. But it had something to do with @ snake charmer, the de- tective said, and they intimated that it made them blush. Anyway, they pinched the place; turned a hundred disconso!ate guests into the street; wouldn’t even wait for the boss to collect what was com- ing to him; brought a wagon to the door and carried off five prisoners, including Mignonne. The others, accused of “acting in concert’’ with Mignonne, were: Alex- ander Schwartz, proprietor; his wife, Julia, and his manager, Joseph Fejer. They also took a waiter along, Samuel Greenfield, on a charge of dispensing drinks. Mignonne and the others were held in $500 bail each for a hearing Mon- day. The detectives say they got a bill for $35 for whatever it was that was served their party. Joseph Weber, counsel for the cap- tives, demanded an immediate hear- ing, saying there were no drinks in the place worth mentioning—that is to say, no alcoholic drinks. He also said Mignonne’s dance was a pure work of art, so pure that the place is losing $350 a day when she doesn't dance. He intimated that he would seek an injunction to keep the police outside where the crime wave waves. pone FADING PATRONS LEAD DRY SLEUTHS TO OASIS IN REAR Wink Brings Only Ginger Ale in Front, But Panel Turns Trick. e An order of ginger ale accompanied by a wise wink was utterly unproduc- tive of spiritous response when Fed- eral Prohibition Agents John Kerrigan and Peter Reager tried it to-day in the saloon at No. 905 Teller Avenue, the Bronx, All they got was ginger ale and a tired look from the bar- tender. But the agents noted that the cus- tomers who came into the place seemed to disappear. The walls of the saloon were panelled, and this made the vanishing all the more mys- terlous until Kerrigan saw a man slip one of the rear panels aside and pass from view. Then he and Reager tried it and found themselves in another room, where a goodly company was gathered. There the wink wasn’t nec- essary, They say they got what they asked for and the bartender, Ernest Zimmer, got a summons to appear to- morrew before United States Com- missioner Hitchcock. The man in the front room, William Zimmer, also got one, Then the agents went on their way. At, No. 1210 Jerome Avenue they came to a saloon in front of. two buildings under construction. Kerrt- gan, Reager and Leonard Gallanti, a fellow worker in the cause, immed|- ately got into overalls from the cos- tume wardrobe in the Prohibition au- tomobile, and dashed dustily and thirstily into the saloon, They say they had two rounds of drinks there and when they sifowed shields, Frank Riccardo, the bartender, showed fight, armed with a mop. Two men in. the place joined him and there was a bat- tle royal, which the agents won. They decla an armistice when they had Riceardo locked up in the Morrisania station’ for assaulting them, Frank Gordon, owner of the place, got a summohs, too, The third pla was at No. there Antone Hering, John Meyer, owner, with a summons each for d spirits. the agents visited 6 Broadway, and hartender, and were presented MAY 15, BUNDLE DAY FOR NEAR EAST RELIEF More Than One Hundred Charches and Armories to Receive Clothing, The Near Bast Relief has set aside May 15 as annual Bundle Day 1n its work of supplying clothing to the des- titute of the countries whore its charity reaches, New York City has been systematic. ally divided and more than a hundred urches and armorics will recelve bundles which collected and forwarded East Relief Army Base.

Ten-year-old Eugene Smith, son of Mr. and Mrs. Melville Smith of Sea Cuff, L. I., who was shot accidentally yesterday by Richard Francis, eleven, is in a critical condition to-day at the Nassau Hospital. » Eugene was kneeling in the sand while Richard was loading a rifle he had just bought from another boy. The muzzle was six inches from Eu- gene when suddenly the gun fired. The bullet entered Eugene's body un- der the right breast, passed through the right lung and lodged in the back. His temperature so far has been too high for the surgeons to probe for it. The accident occurred on the beach in front of the North Shore Country Club, and little Richard tried unsue- cessfully to carry his friend's body to the road. He hailed several automo- biles, but none stopped, until the club housekeeper obtained one to rush the wounded boy to the hospital. BOY, 16, IS HELD IN CAMP SLAYING Victor Jaculwitch, Who Shot Jacob Kobitz, Charged With Homicide. The trial for bigamy of Virginius! St. Jullan Mayo, before Justice Finch and a jury in the Supreme Court, ended to-day with Mayo's testimony in his own defense. He admitted that he married the complainant in this action, Wilhelmina Meyer, in 1904, while hia first wife, Florence Weeks Mayo, was living, but set up that the statute of limitations had absolved him before he was indicted. Mayo's defense that he is protected by the statute of limitations, is com- bated by the contention of the pros ecution that he has not been a rest- dent of this State since 1904, but has lived at Hartford and Stamford, Conn., where his radiator factories are located. Mayo claims a home in Brooklyn, A witness for the defense to-day was Eleanor Wilson, thirty-six years old, who has worked for Mayo since 1911 in various confidential capacities and is at present living with the fam- ily of Mayo and his present wife at Stamford. Miss Wilson testified that she had always considered Mayo a resident of Brooklyn and that he lived there for more than five years con- secutively. © On cross examination, asked about the suicide, in 1915 at Hartford, of fifteen-year-old Lillian Cook, an employee of Mayo, She said she roomed with the Cook girl, but did not know that Mayo had promised te marry her and that she killed herself because he did not keep his promise, She was also questioned about a Susie Wallace who was employed by Mayo in his office in 1912. One of the witnesses to-day was Mrs. Virginia Mayo Kerr of Pelham, a daughter of Mayo by his first mar- riage. Mrs. Kerr said the family had always regarded Brooklyn as the re dence of her father. She sald that Mra, Meyer Mayo lived with her father for years after she knew that Florence Weeks Mayo was alive and had three children by Mayo. According to Mrs, Kerr, the chief worry of Mrs. Meyer Mayo ap- peared to be that Mrs. Florenco she was Here “If you want veal feathery doughnuts, cookies that melt in your mouth and old fashioned rhubarb pie just leave it to a New England woman. that is not all they can do.
