'T'WO cats and a dog have come be- ?
tween two women partners in the
real estate business and are respon?
sible for a suit and a counter suit,
each for $10,000, which Mrs, Sarah E.
Lodewick and Mrs. Esther J. Schultz
have filed against each other in the
Supremo Court.
In September, 1018, Mrs. Lodewick,
in the real estate business for twenty
five years, had an offer of a lease on a
house ot 107 East Thirty-ninth Street.
She was to receive a bonus of $5,000
if she sold the hou.se for the owner
during the term of the lease. She took
Mrs. Schult*/, as a partner in the proj?
ect and leased the property. The
Young Men's Christian Association
offered to rent space in the house at $5
a week for each of seventy-four cots.
This offer was accepted, and seventy
young women, who were overseas work
era, were quartered in the house. JMrs.
Lodewick complains in her suit against
Mrs. Schultz that after they had pos?
session of the house for four months
the latter surrendered the lease to the
owners of the property.
In her counter claim Mrs. Schultz
says that Mrs. Lodewick made her home
in the Thirty-ninth Street house. She
also brought with her two cats and a
dog. The animals, according to Mrs.
Schultz, proved themselves such a nui?
sance to the seventy young women that
she requested her partner to remove
the cats and dog from the premises, a
thing which Mrs. Lodewick refused to
do. Mrs. Schultz also says in her
counter claim that Mrs. Lodewick
charged the "Y" workers for storing
their trunks and failed to engage
proper help to carry on the work of
the house.

A ir Mu il Delivered for First
Time to Steamship at Sea
innovation Proved Success by Transfer to Adriatic
?Plan To Be Utilized to Save Time by Send?
ing Ship's Papers On After Vessel Sails
Tho first aerial mail delivery to a"
ship at. sea was accomplished yesterday
when an Aeromarinc flying boat dropped
a sack of European mail on tho deck
of the White Star liner Adriatic.
The feat was accomplished success?
fully in adverse weather conditions by
means of an ingenious releasing de?
vice developed by the engineers of the
Aeromarinc Plane and Motor Com?
pany. The experiment was an official
test undertaken at the request of the
Postoffice Department, and may be put
into general operation.
Shortly after tho experiment, David
Lindsay, of the White Star Line, an?
nounced the steamship companies
would adopt the scheme also for de?
livery of ships' manifests after the
ship has left port. In this manner, he
said, fully eighteen hours can be saved
to transatlantic liners. The liners will
he able to take on cargo up to the
last moment before stilling, and then
receive the completed manifests by air?
plane delivery long . ter they have
.?ailed.
Start Made From Eighty-sixth Street
The mail delivered to the Adriatic
yesterday was placed aboard the flying
boat at the Columbia Yacht Club, at
Eighty-sixth Street and North River.
The mail sack was inclosed in a spe?
cial waterproof bag.
Piloted by C. J. Zimmerman, the fly?
ing boat arose off the yacht club bind?
ing and made a speedy flight down the
Bay. With Zimmerman was his me?
chanic, Richard Greisinger.
The flying boat overtook tho Adriatic
just as she was passing out of the Am?
brose Channel. After circling around
the liner a few times, Zimmerman
came down to within fifty feet of the
ship's masts and dropped the mail bag.
A steel cable had been stretched be?
tween the peaks of the Adriatic's fore
and main masts specially for this ex?
periment. On the flying boat a flexible
cable, .00 feet long, suitably weighted
at one end, had been attached to the
mail bag. A special form of shock ab?
sorber was included in this cable in
order to lessen the tremendous shock
expected from the landing of a 100
pound mail sack.
How Trick Was Done
As Zimmerman came down he re?
leased the free end of tho flexible cable.
Then, carefully judging bis distance, he
drove bis airplane straight across- the
ship's course. As the flying boat cut
across the liner's bows the cable, which
was dangling out at an acute angle in
the wind, struck the wire stretched be
twecn 1hr ship's masts, instantly be?
came entangled in it.
As the airplane sped on Zimmerman
released the mail bag, which flew out
in a straight line until its cable stood
out taut. This brought the shock ab?
sorbers into play, and they cheeked the
descent with great success. The bag
fell into the water alongside the Adri?
atic, but as the other end of the flexi?
ble calile was tightly caught in the
steel wire between the masts it was an
easy matter for the sailors to pull it
aboard.
Immediately afterward Captain J,
Ransom, of the Adriatic, sent the fol?
lowing wireless to the White Star Line
offices here:
"First aerial mail delivered safely
aboard at - p. m. Ransom."
Passengers Cheer Innovation
Fully 300 passengers crowded around
the promenade decks of the Adriatic
and watched the experiment. Their
cheers echoed down the bay as the
baar uns successfully hauled aboard.
The Adriatic sailed for Cherbourg
and Southampton with ".120 passengers.
It is the first steamship to leave for
those ports since the beginning of the
war and marks the reopening of the
White Star Line service 10 Cherbourg
and Southampton. Of the pasengers on
board ;I90 were first class, '195 second
class and ?,235 steerage. Seven hun?
dred of the latter are bound for ports
?..il the Mediterranean and will disem?
bark at Cherbourg.
,1. F. l'ersh ing, brother of General
Pershing, and a Chicago clothing man?
ufacturer, was a passenger. Mr. Per?
shing is going to England and France
on business. He expects to meet his
brother and probably will return with
him to the United States.

500 IN. J. Liquor Licenses
Void by Judge's Ruling
Swayze Srls* One Aside. Hold
?aj? Attempted Grant Vio?
lates Federal Law
TRENTON, X. J? Aug. 14.?Pointing
out the conflict between the provisions
of liquor licenses and the Federal pro?
hibition law, .lust ice Swayze decided
to-day in the Supreme Court that the
law must prevail.
The decision was tendered in the
case of Hugh Mechan, of 056 Ocean
Avenue, Jersey City, whose license, ob?
tained from that city, purported to give
him the right to sell liquor until July
i 1, 1920. The New .Jersey Anti-Saloon
League opposed the action of the city
in granting the license.
The setting aside of Meehan's license
automatically nullifies more than 500
licenses granted in this state since
July 1. An appeal probably will be tak
en from his decision.
"It is clear," said Justice Swayze.
"that the sale which the license pur?
ports to authorize is a violation of
Federal legislation unless the power
which the license appears to grant is
subject to the laws regulating tho sale
But the laws regulating the sale an
' very different from laws prohibiting
the sale. As to distilled spirits, pro
hibition is absolute, while the license
purports to authorize the sale of spiri
tous liquors. There is a plain conflit"
between tho terms of the license ant
the Federal legislation, and the latte
must control."

America.
"Here, on the classic soil of lib?

said, "we salute America, who did not

Death of Man
In Hotel Room
Puzzles Police
One of Two Who Registered
Early in Morning After
Advance Payment Is Mis?
sing; No Clew Is Found
Slight Wound on Body
Medical Examiner My st i fied,
hut Will Hold Autopsy
to Solve Me Alp in Mystery
An unidentified man was found dead
in room 1597 of tho Hotel McAlpin at
3:30 yesterday afternoon.
He is believed to be one of the two
men who registered at the hotel at 2
o'clock yesterday morning. Their sig?
natures on the registration sheet, al?
though almost illegible, were deciph?
ered as T. J. Touvre and C. E. Lan
don, both of New York. They had no
baggage, and on payment of $10 in
advance they were assigned to room
151)7.
Which of the two is the dead man
is a mystery. The other has disap
pearcd.
The only mark indicating violence
found upon tho body is a laceration
over the left eye. The face was cov?
ered with a towel soaked in blood, ap?
parently from this cut. The police be?
lieve it is a case of homicide, although
the only visible wound does not seem
sufficient to have caused death.
Was Taller of Pair
The dead man was identified by the
clerk who registered the pair as the |
taller of the two. He d-jes not recall ,
which name tho tall man signed. The
dead man is about live feet seven
inches in height.
It seemed to the clerk that the two:
were intoxicated. The voice of the tall i
man was thick as he asked for the
room and paid SI0.
As they left, the elevator and turned '
down the hall to go to the room one j
shouted "Squads right!" The other
laughingly obeyed.
Neither was sien after this until
3:30 in the afternoon, when a maid en?
tered, intending to clean up the room.
She saw a man lying on top of the
blankets, with a towel over his face,
and immediately called Oscar Osstori, a '
house detective.
Osston found that the man was
dead, and notified the police.
A squad of twenty-five detectives, ?
headed by Inspector John J. Cray, j
head of the Detective Bureau, imme?
diately went to the hotel.
No Money on Body
No money was found upon the body, j
and, according to the night clerk, the!
man had showed no money when he \
registered except that with which he !
paid for the room. His only piece
of jewelry was a small gold ring bear- I
ing a Japanese design.
He wore underwear like that issued ;
by the United States army, and around \
his waist was a khaki-colored web belt j
w.th the insignia "0. M. C." A hat
was found in the room bearing the i
mark of a store on Amsterdam Ave- j
nue, in the Washington Heights dis- :
trict. Ile was in civilian clothes.
Gustave Dennison, chief house de- ;
lectivo, said that he believed he had
seen the dead man, in uniform I
around the hotel.
"I recollect the face, but I can't place i
it," he said. "He wr.s not a regular
patron of the hotel, but I think 1 have i
seen him around. The face is con-I
neetod in my mind with a soldier's
uniform, and I have no doubt that this I
man had just been mustered out.
"His shoes were new, which is ad- '
ditional indication that he had just
been discharged.''
Cause of Death Mystery
Assistant Medical Examiner George
Hohman, who examined the body, was
unable to say what had caused death. ,
Chief Medical Examiner Norris was,
also present. The body was taken to |
the Morgue, where an autopsy will be '
performed to-day.
No one has been found who saw the j
missing man leave the hotel. The po
lice declare they hove no clew by which i
to locate him. The names of both men]
were sent to the Bureau of Missing,
Persons to be traced.
When the body was found it had on
neither collar nor socks. The room was !
not disarranged, and no trace of a.
struggle was visible.
The dead man had black hair, gray
eyes and a long upper lip. He wore a
blue serge suit, brown oxford shoes and i
a purple linen shirt with a black stripe. ;
Conference to Form
New Party to Meet !
Allen McCurdy. of the Committee of
Forty-eight, the new party of liberals j
and independents, said yesterday that
the nation-wide conference being ar-;
ranged has been postponed till Decem?
ber next. It was intended to hold the
conference in October. Formal an
nouncment of the date for the confer?
ence, together with the aims of the
now organization, will be made on
September 15. The change of date,
from October to December was made
necessary, it was said yesterday at the
headquarters of the Committee of For?
ty-eight, 15 East Fortieth Street, by
the unexpectedly widespread response
to the original call for the conference,
especially within tho last thirty days.
The committee has a membership
drive under way.
The promoters of the December con?
ference believe that by that time senti- "
ment will be ripe for an amalgamation
of all the more important independent
and liberal political bodies in the
United States for the Presidential
campaign of 1920. Neither the Non
partisan league for the new Labor
party has indicated a willingness to
fuse, but those most interested assert
that the drift of things is toward an
amalgamation.

Bail Too High for
Alleged Anarchist; Jail
Carl Paivo, arrested in Detroit on
Wednesday on a charge of criminal
anarchy, and brought to New York
yesterday by Detective Edward Cooper,
was committed to the Tombs on an
order signed by Justice Weeks in the
Extraordinary Term of the Supreme
Court for the prosecution of criminal
anarchists. Paivo. who is of Finnish
i extraction, like Gustave Alonen, in?
dicted on a similar charge and also
committed to the Tombs, was locked
up in default of $25,000 bail. His
counsel, Walter L. Nelles, of the Na
j tional Civil Liberties Bureau, will try
? to have the bail reduced as soon as
Justice Weeks returns from out of
town.
Assistant District Attorney Tlorko
said that his office was further inves?

Standing on the bridge over the

at a real Troyon cattle painting,
true to life.
The old colored man, with an
Uncle Remus face, the master
keeper of the herd, is leading his

fields to the fresher pasture
grounds. He says he "bees get

each member of his four-footed,
long-eared family, and he talks
to them, calling their names.
The same old handsome Hol?

heading the seventeen cows,
who, dumb as they are, nearly al?

The other morning one of the
handsome black beauties lin?

New husbands for old
Another
"You have given me a new
husband," said a lady recently.
'?flow is that'.'" we asked.
"Well, it was this way,"- she
replied. "My husband is a den?
tist, and he has to stand long
hours every day. For the last
three years he has been troubled
with his feet. Finally they got
so bad that it was with difficulty
that he could attend his patients.
His suffering upset him to such |
an extent that we had no social J
life at all, and he was almost j
unbearable. He certainly was j
hard to live with. One day a i
lady patient noticed that he was
in trouble and asked him if he j
were ill. When she learned the |
cause of his suffering she i
showed him a pair of shoes she
was wearing, and advised him to I
try the same kind."
story from real life:
They were
Anatomik Shoes
He came to Wanamaker's and
got a pair of Anatomiks, and the
result bus been just as 1 said, "1
have got a new husband."
To produce the Anatomik shoe
has been the life work of Dr.
Cole, an orthopedic physician. .
Dr. Cole discovered long ago
that simply giving advice would
not suffice. He also learned that
shoemakers would not make his
patients' shoes the way he
wanted them made. So he" fixed
up a workshop in the basement
of his house and developed the
Anatomik.
Then his patients' friends
wanted Anatomiks and other
doctors wanted their patients to
get them. Soon the Anatomik
Footwear Company had to come,
fulfilling the needs for sane, safe
and scientific footwear.
