The letter pObltshsd In your Ad-Yi?or column of The Tribune of
October 16 criticising certain practice? and eonditieoi in the moving

I write Uili letter to you sa a reputable mov?as van concern of

It is a fact thai the public often have opportunitv for criticism

If Mr. Morgan, or any user of moving van lervleo, instead of
shopj ing around promlacuoualy among a variety sf eooeerai without
icgaru to their credit or their reipi or their capacity to do
?he work well, would eonaider who can do this Job the beet, then ho
would get a moving van concern which would give him good .-er?, ice at
.?? reasonable prie and which co-jlri be relied upon to give him satis?
faction.
The pub?i- are often in fault for allowing themselve? to be gov
erned entirely by the pri??* of the lowest bidder. If Mr. Morgan wants
good moving lerviei hs pick out one of the many reputable
concerns in this city who "ill j7?vr hits a I.sb BOd a fair

If, however, he reports to the usual procedure of matching price?,
he i? bound to have trouble and probably cause for complaint, for 'he

I'll admit the part i fie and the lit for the first few weeks,
but I'll be banged if any one can cran, down my throat the fact that a

"The magnitude of this case is t

gentlemen, let us see if we can't coi

Metronolitan situation, some betl

There followed a conference as
what should be dono, and finally
was agreed that both sides ge' t
gether on a written explanation.
Aid to Morse Refused.
A few facts stood out fairly pis
in the presentation by R. L Bat
chief government attorney, of the M?

to go on with it. He showed '.hat t!

Charles W. Morse had control we
into the hands of a rec? ivcr and th
J. PierpOB. Morgan ordered Mellen
refuse Morse's plea tor aid.
"Don't you have anything to da wi
him," Mollea said Morgan 'old hii
He explained to Morgan that Mor
was ofT-ring them half the Met ropo

job of rehabilitating the line.
"'Well,' Mr. Morgan ?aid to m?
Mellen testified, "'you leave him e
tirais alone. Either break with him i

Mellen broke with Morse, who
I that time was in the Tombs facing tl
trial which resulted in sending him

This act brought the steamship O]

period covered by the indictment, ju
as the I'oughkeepsie Bridge transa
tion, brought out last week, carried tl

From the ateamahip aeqaiaitioni c
the New Havea the government ev

In ruling, the court said: "It woul?

HE HIrI?DALIENIST,
SO DID HIS WIFE
Phinneys Parted and Reconciled
Thaw Trial Experts Called.
They Quit Again.
I,ove may laugh at locksmith?, if he
still finds those respectable craftsmen
so ludicrous. When, however, two
Thaw alienists obtrude themselves into
one marital squabble his sense ot
humor deserts him and he resigns at
once. Mr. and Mrs, Y.. G. Phinney
hired the alienists, lost their love and
are now suing each other.
Mr. I'hinney, who v president of the
K. G. I'hinney Company and the An^'e',
Forwarding Company, thought his wife
was mentally unbalanced and hired Dr.
Menas S. Gregory, present head of the
Bellevue psrhopathic ward and one?
time Jerome witness in the Thaw trial
, to make sure that she was. Where
upon Mrs. I'hinney engaged Dr. Carlos
Jv Macdonald, another state witness in
the Thaw trial, to make sure that she
wasn't. Then love resigned, and Mr.
I'hinney re?igne?l and so did Mrs
Phinney.
On ?December _:;, 1914, Mr. I'hinney
had added hi tai I nasas t.. the already
euphonious title of Miss Willis I'earl
bussey. Oa Navamber i">. 1915, which
era? ;.. terday, Mrs. Willis Pearl Bas*
PI .. y left bei home at MO
Rivsrs.de Drivs an.i started for Jack?
sonville, Fla., there to defend the final
stanza ot bei title is the divorce suit
brought hy her husband. But before
she left lbs tiled B suit for ?eparation
in the Supreme Court here, charging
desertion and cruelty. Between the two
?lates the Thaw alienists got in their
rhilling work.
According to Mr?. I'hinney, who is
the daughter of a physician in Augusta,
Ca.. the Aral of the m inv- flaws in their
wedded existence OCCUITSd when her
husband wandered home one night,
staggering under a load of liquor, BBS?
v. .1 iaternally. sin- was la the mi?ist
of a temperance leetare to bim when
be left the boasc laddealj and ia the
..! direction Of Maine. When he
reached there he seat her a telegram.
She fallowed him t.. New England,
and there the pan were reconciled.
Twentv-lour hours after their return
to New York, according to her, Mr.
I'hinney announced that he was going
out "on business," an?l went so far that
he never came back, sending her, in?
stead, a meaaa?ga announcing that she
wa? mentally deranged. Later he
called upon her in company with a man
who ?he found out later was I*r.
Gregory. Immediately thereafter she
engaged Dr. McDonald to testily that
she wbbbI erasy. She might have
saved herself ths money, for Dr (ireg
orv ?admitted this h mi elf.
In August Mr. Phinney began sction
for separation in l ?i city. Later lie
went to Florida and filed sail for di*

He speaks of her "austerity of

t'| atened him with a weapon on July
5 last, and had him followed about the
country by detectives. His wife, on

ROAR OF GUNS

Tournament of Military

"Is America ready for war"'' This'
la .. gaeStion which a military tourna?
ment, continuing all the ?reek at Msidi

of the Military Athletic ?League, pro
pose., to answer. The opening ?"
tion last night wr.s extremely inter?

one of the '.',.i present, who was over
h'-ard to r-nmrk: 'After seeing :'.'

- Had toi iuar Garden!"
Twelve events were o i the pro
gramme for she opening night, and reg
ulara aad militia from ever, branch
of the service helped to make the en?
tertainment diversified. Without ex?
ception 'he event? were run off wi'h
precision, and to judge from the ap
plau4* the programme was well re?
ceived. In the absence of Mayor
Mitchel, who was to have opened ths
tournament, the drills were reviewed
bv I'oiice Commiaaioaer Arthur Woods.
The number which apparently arouse?!
the most enthusiasm was a saddle
drill by Troop K, _th Cavalry, U. S. A.,
a detachment of ?fifty men from Fort
Myer, Va., under command of Captain
Frederick D. Kilgore. ?Thifl troop of
highly trained regulars moved about
the tanbark in a maze of intricate
figures with astonishing rapidity an?l
???curacy, and the educated animals
displayed a grade of intelligence which
seemed to the audience nothing less
than extraordinary. They wheeled and
circled with precision, and when they

1 the reviewing stand, while the strains '
of the bund completed '.he martial ef?
fect, BVea ?ths MidiON from other con.
mands brake late an enthusia?tic up
lield (?un Drill.
A 1-pounder tield gun drill by the _?i
Battalioo, New York Naval Militia, ex-,
cited much interest. Four groups of
sixteen men each hauled in a gun and
manoeuvred them about on foot. Clad
in white, the militiamen nevertheless
did not hesitate a moment when the
order came to advance flat on their
stomachs, a? small boys on sleds. This
detail of preparedness waj quick to be
noted by the crowd, and each addi?
tional flop in the tanbark was giaalad
by a round of cheers.
Company <i, Tl.t Infantry, N. G. N.
Y., with Captaia Heary Maalia com
m.-in?imi?, gave an i steaded order drill,
the men being exceedingly deft at <!i*
charging their rifles ahile reclining on
their stomachs. Lj. :ng thus in the soft
tanbark, suddenly a whistle would
blow, and they would ?ret up and a?l
vance ten yards, only to lie down again.
In the course of several minute? they
traversed the entire arena in thi? fash?
ion, and seemed none the worse for
he experieace.
A military athletic contest between
two men not occupied the attention of

the audience were BOOB to become agi?

did not remove anything more. At the

clothe themselves, aad I'rivate Faugh

SING SING LEAGUE
NIPS GRAFT PLOT
Convict Head of Clothes
Store Accused by Wel?
fare Court Judge.
INMATES ABOUT TO
QUIT, SCHEME'S PREY
Victim Says He Paid $2 To Be
Fitted Out in Stylo When
Term Rxpire-*.
Theodore Grant, a ten-year convict
at Sing Sing, who until a day or two
ago was in charge of the State Shop
at the prison, will be plsced on trial
this morning before the Mutual Wel?
fare League Court, charged with ex?
torting $2 from Robert Gray, another
convict, on the promise that he would
fit l?ray out in an expensive suit of
clothes when ("ray leaves the prison
at the expiration of his term on Fri?
day.
Last night when Spencer Miller, sec?
retar? to Warden O.sbornc, was told
that the facts had become public, he
sa?d a prisoner bad been detected by
a judge of the Mutual Welfare League
Court in grafting from prisoners about
to be released. Mr Miller added that
the convict would be called to account
this morning. Grant hag been sus?
pended from the league and Its privi?
leges and returned to the unemployed
company.
The State Shop is the prison de?
partment in which are stored the
clothe? worn by men when they reach
! the prison to begin term?. The shop.
i like several other prison department?,
is in charge of a convict, supervised by
! a keeper.
There are well made and up-to-date
, suits of good material in the shop, as
well as the shoddy and cheaply made
clothes of the men from the under?
world. When a prisoner arrives at the
institution his clothes are taken from
him and ufter disinfection, dry clean?
ing and pressing are sent to the S'ate
Shop, to be useia by prisoners a? terms
expire. Therefore, a man wearing a
cheap aait may, on release, be found
to he the same size as a grafting poli?
tician or bank defaulter, an?l will get
the high grade suit of such convict.
Several month? ago, the shop was in
charge of a prisoner who has ??pre
been released. Persistent rumors of
graft by this inmnte resulted In an
investigation which, while not disclos?
ing anything in the way of conclusive
proof, caused the removal of the con?
vict and the transfer of the supervis?
ing keeper.
Gray Tells of Deal.
Following that action. Grant was
placed in charge. For n time the graft
rumors ceased, but in the last two
weeks they again became current. A
close watch was kept on the depart?
ment and the grafting from Gray dis?
covered.
The story told by Gray when callad
