WANTS 'GOOD NAME,' NOT MONEY, OF HOE ?? _ Mae Sullivan Weeps and Grief Over Butcher Bill Halts Testimony. COOK SAW COUPLE IN PILLOW FIGHT Love, Auto Trips and Assumed Names AH Figure in Case? Cousin Bares Deal. "I don't want any of his money. I want him to -rive me na?-!?, my (rood name.'' So asserted Miss Mae A. Sullivan yes? terday from the witness stand In the Su? preme ?"ourt, where her suit for breach of promise aitainpt Arthur I. Hoe is on trial. | The woman s.al.hpd as she spoke these words ar.1 pointed at the defendant, who ? sat with his wife. Miss Sullivan waa not prepared to re- j aume the stan?*. at the morning session. Just before she entered the court house she hsd an experience that caused her to weep and tell Justice Gavepan that she could not continue her testimony until later In the day. It seems Miss Sullivan was aerved with an order In supplement? ary proceedlnKs dlrertin-f her to appear Jn the f*lty Court and show cause why she should not pa*f a Judgment of $233 held by a Harlem butcher. At the afternoon session she said that she loved Mr Hoc, even after he had de? ceived her. She added: "Mr. Hoe con? fessed that he was a married man, but he told me he would get a divorce and marry me any way." Misa Sullivan told about automobile trips that f-he had taken with William A. Burr, a contractor. She was known as Mrs. Burr to a friend, Mrs. Nellie Glasa berK, but the witness explained that sha merely "posed" as Mrs. Burr to her friend. The subject of the baby that Mies Sulli? van borrowed from Mrs. William J. Dally, again came up In the redirect ex? amination. "Mrs. GlassherK knew me," said Miss Sullivan, "when 1 wasn't flashing thou? sands of dollars, and she knew I didn't have a child. Mr. Hoe wanted me to appear as a mother, so that men wouldn't pay so much attention to me." Miss Sullivan had another crying spell when aho was asked why she had cards enpraved with the name of Mrs. Mo rlarty on them. She said she had don?1 this at the request of Mr. Hoe. It was at this point that she made the state? ment about wanting her "pood name." i She had to be excused from further testl- i fying. Jennie Rogers, who was employed ns cook by Miss Sullivan, testified about ?

SEEKS 24J?E?RS' ALIMONY Divorced Woman Finds Hus? band After Long Search. Mrs. Kate Taylor applied yesterday ta Supreme Court Justice Arthur P. ' Tompklns, at Nyack, for a writ that will enable her to collect twenty-four years' back alimony from lier former husband, Lowell Taylor, of ('larks town. She has Just found him. Mrs. Taylor, now 11 vine- in Ossining, ?wan granted her divorce decree back in 1800, with ?."> a week alimony. But ; Taylor disappeared, and after a twenty-three years' search his wife found him. She learned that he has come into possession of property. She asks for permission to put Taylor on the stand and quiz him as to what property he owns which she can attach for the alimony bill. The defence may possibly invoke the statute of limita? tions and claim that the greater part of the alimony debt is outlawed. Conn Ml for both parties have been ordered by the court to submit briefs in Nyaek before the plaintiff's motion is decided. 36 GRADUATED FROM GENERAL SEMINARY Young Clergymen Receive Their Diplomas?Bishop of Aberdeen ! and Orkney Present.

DON'T TEACH CHILD TO SLANDER PAPA Telling Little One to Pray to Make Father Better Held Reprehensible. Mothers, do not teach your children to pray, "God, make papa a better man." That is slandering your hus? band, and is actionable. Wives, do not ?how your preference for your mothers over your husbands. That is treating your husband con? temptuously. Husbands, do not remove your wives from rooms by physical force. That will enable your wife to get a legal separation. In granting Mrs. Tusi Bradley Bar? ber a decree of separation from her busband yesterday and giving her the custody of her child, Supreme Court Justice Pells, sitting at White Plains, handed down a decision embodying the foregoing precepts. The Barbers formerly lived at Hast ings-on-Hudson, and they mutually charged each other with cruelty. The ! husband complained that his mother in-law was "the evil genius of their unhappy home." The wife's "conduct in teaching the i little child practically to slander her father in her daily prayer," wrote Jus? tice Pells, "was quite reprehensible, and her conduct and ostentatious pref? erence for her mother over her hus? band as the chief object of her affection was a very poor exhibition of wifely re? gard, but I do not consider that this contemptuous treatment justified physical violence upon the wife " ? ?

I HARD TO DISCHARGE SCHOOL TEACHERS Flexner Says "Sympathy Racket" Leads to Ineffi? ciency in.System. BOARD OF EDUCATION HAS STORMY MEETING Singing "Star-Spangled Banner" Would Hurt Children's Voices Declare- Maxwell. Abraham Flexner was the atorm centre at a meeting of the Itoard of Education yesterday. He repeated assertions made by an associate auperltnendent and some principals to the effect that It was impos? sible to rid the system of Inefficient teach? ers bMMH the Board of Education would not dip.'hanr? them. The "sympathy racket," he addeil, was largely responsible for such a condition. Several tried to take Mr. Flexner to task, Arthur Somers declaring the speaker had Indicteal the whole teaching force. "Why all this excitement?" asked John Martin. "There is a prevalent belief among principals that It would be the supervising teacher who would he put on trial If complaint were made against a teacher for Inefficiency." Mr. Somers loudly declaimed that the dignity of the board waa being lowered by having to listen to Mr. Flexner "di? vorce himself of Cheap gossip." At the very outset of the meeting Mr. Flexna-r, who is the Iea?ler of the forces to Thomas W. Churchill, the President and tils so-called "progressive" adherents, aroused the ?re of the presiding officer. An effort was made, by the majority to re? lievo the DOW Bureau of Reference and Research from answering any questions put to it by the City Superintendent or the Hoard of Superintendents, on the as? sumption, that it woulal break down the bureau through overruling. "This is vicious legislation." aald Mr. Flexnar. "It Is only part of a policy of this board that will n?>t be tolerated by the public." It was pointed out that while superin? tendents of schools In other cities could get all the information desired from the new bureau, the officers of the school sys? tem In re would be barred. Dr, Ira S. Wile, who a year ago was aliened with the Progressive forcea, votad yesterday with the minority, or Flexner, wing. He has done so frequent? ly at reaent meetings. While wrancllng pervaded the early part of the meeting, patriotism prevailed later. Proper respect for the flag was recently mude mandatory at school as? semblies. Yesterday John J. Keller sug- j gested that a stanza of "The Star Spangled Banner" be sung at each aasem- ] bly. Superintendent Maxwell, however. thought that this would be injurious. lien under t>n years old," ne ea serted, "cannot reach the high notes of j 'The Star-Spangled Banner.' It would j hurt their voie. s." Isadore M. La***" introduced a resolu | tlon. which was referred to the commlt | tee on bylaws. Tt read as follows: "R.-solved, That the members of the supervising and teaching force be re? quired to take an oath to support the government and constitution of the na? tional government and the State of New York, and that the committee on by- i laws be lequested to draw an appropri? ?t.' "i-y-law to carry above resolution into effect." Reminds for absences of teachers, held ' up for a year, are to he paid through arrangent? tits with the Controller. No action was taken on the appoint? ment of an associate superintendent. Miss ?iraca? C. Strachan is 0 candidate for the place. A oitter fight is expected. -?

RED CROSS BADGES SERVED AS TARGETS Major Boughton, Investigator, Is Coming from Colorado to Refute Story. The morning aesslon of the United States Commission on Industrial Hala? tions had Just opened yesterday, when Mrs. Pearl Jolly and Mrs. Mary Hannah ' Thomas, wive? of two of the striking ?_MH of Colorado?, unexpectedly ap? peared ir. th" meeting room, and, through ! Miss Melmda Scott, president of the i Women's Trade I'nlon League, aaked per- j mission to tell their story of the atrtke. j Some mombera of the commission were I not In favor of giving the privilege of tho floor, but, at the request of Mrs. J Bordea Harrlman, of the commission, it was granted. Mrs. Jolly, who epoke flrat, .said that tho militia had turned the strike into a reign of terror, fighting, not against the strlka-rs, but against the women. "The number of rifles In the tent col- i ony waa greatly exaggerated," atie con- i tlnued. "Une story was that there were j 700 rides In Lawson's tent, but there were ' only forty in all. If there had been 100 there would not have been ao many dead , women and children." Mrs. Jolly then graphically described UM MOMI in the strike zone when the machine guns of the militia were trained M the tents. She went to the zone aa a nurse and wore red crosses on the sleeves and bosom of her white dress. "Cut these made good targets,'* oho ' said. "The soldiers fired at mo aa I ran botWOOa the tents, and the heel of one of my shoes was shot off." After c'lmmenaling the courage and f chivalry Of the Turks in the tent colony, j she deKcrihaial the finding of the bodies of ?. ina h ?nul ? hildren in tho camp, the attempt to rescue women and children by ? rushing them pa.it the militia to safety la th? fnae of tiring and the unspeakable j insults offered by the soldiers.. Members of the ?-?Immission were greatly moved by her story. Mrs. Thomas told of her arrival In Trinidad, of her arrest on no complaint and confinement with her children for eleven days and the gross cruelty and ? ?allousness on the part of the militia. It was learned that Major BdWaid J. Boughton, Judge AdVOCato of the Military DistiaVt of Colorado and chairman of the committee appointed to Investigate the ?onditions. will testify before, the commis? sion to-day. It was said that he came from Colorado to New York to refute part I tlM testimony of Mrs. Jolly and Mrs. Thomas. When the two women furnished their addresses. John T.
