Miller Will Arrive
To-dav and Confer
With Party Chiefs
Republicans Have Not Start?
ed Movement for Legisla?
tive Inquiry Into Hylau
Rule: Await Public Ca!\
Governor-elect Miller and Mr*. Mil?
ler will be at the St. Regis this after?
noon, on tHeir way to Syracuse from
Atlantic City after their two weeks'
vacation. Mr. Miller will speak at the
annual dinner of the New York Cham?
ber of Commerce to-night. He prob?
ably will remain in town to-morrow to
confer with George A. Glynn, chair?
man of the Republican State Commit?
tee, and County Chairmen Koenig, Liv?
ingston, Lawrence and De Bragga.
It is practically settled that the Re?
publican leaders will not start any ?
movement for a legislative investiga?
tion of the Hylan administration until
after the first of the year, if then.
There is a concurrence of judgment
that it will be well for the New York
grand juries to go on with their in?
dictments and for purely political
measures to be heid i:? abeyance.
"If Hylan and his Board of Estimate
whitewash the Hylan administration
the people will recognize the fact
quickly enough and make up their
minds accordingly. If the Republican
Legislature should start in to investi?
gate, the cry of 'politics' might be
raised and attention diverted from the
rottenness of the work at the City
Hall," said a prominent Republican
leader last night. "With the indict?
ment of Brindeil and the significance
of the Hettriek letter soaking into the
minds of every one, it isn't necessary
for the Republicans to do anything."
It is generally conceded that Assem?
blyman H. Edmund Machold, of Jeffer?
son County, has a long lead in the race
for the ^peakor'ship. Joseph A. Mc
Ginnies, of Chautauqua, will have the
support, perhaps, of the members from
the western end of the state, but the
feeling seems to be general that Mac
hold has earned the coveted promotion,
and that there is nothing that is likely
to prevent him from getting it.
County Chairman Koenig returned
yesterday from Atlantic City. lie did
not see Judge Miller there. Mr. Koenig
is not in favor of a legislative inves?
tigation o? the Hylan administration.
He thinks that the Republicans in the
nation, state and city are in good '
shape, and that there is little use in
looking for trouble.
Shoots Girl After Rebuff
Man Said to Have Fired When
Invitation "v> a* Rejected
Anna Zoulasky, fifteen years old, of
1376 First Avenue, a cigarmaker, was
shot and severely wounded last evening
by Joseph Poborsky, twenty-six years
old, of 401 West Seventy-fourth
Street, in his parents' home. She was
standing in front of the store near the
corner of First Avenue and East Sev?
enty-;'? ur-h Street ?it about 7 o'clock,
when Poborsky told her his mother
wanted to see her. When she entered
the Poborsky fiat Joseph, she says,
asked her whether she wou'd go out
with h in. When she refused he shot
at her three times. One shot struck
her in the little finrjer of her left hand
and another grazed her neck. The
third bullet went wild.
After he had fired the shots Pobor?
sky ran downstairs and disappeared.
The girl was taken to Bellevue, where
it was said she would recover.

Witness Says Ruuiely
Talked With Dernberg
Hale, Dr. Fuhr and Albert at
Conferences Preceding Pur?
chase of The Mail
The trial of Dr. Edward A. Rumely,
former proprietor and editor of The !
New York Evening Mail, was resumed ',
yesterday before Judge Grubb in the
United States District Court. Dr.
Rumely and Norvin Lindheim and S. j
Walter Kaufmen, attorneys, are charged
with withholding from the Alien Prop
erty Custodian the alleged German
ownership of the newspaper during part '?
of the period of the war.
Mathew B. Clausen, advertising di?
rector for the Hamburg-American Line
from 1011 to 1917, testified that Dr.
Rumely had been several times in con?
ference with Dr. Dernberg, Dr. Hein?
rich A'bert, William Bayard Hale and -
Dr. Fuhr. These meetings, he said,
were for the purpose of getting news
from the German point of view, and he
said he edited and distributed to Amer- ;
?can newspapers a news sheet contain- I
'iitf authentic information about Ger- ?
many.
During a conversation Clausen said i
he had with Dr. Dernberg the latter '
said he understood that Dr. Rumely
was going to buy The Mail. Clausen !
said he remarked: "If Dr. Rumely buys ;
The Mail and makes it a propaganda ;
sheet it will not last six months."

Abolition of Direct
Primary Is Suggested
Assemblyman Caulfiehl Says
Legislative Committee Has
Not Decided Issue
Assemblyman James II. Caulfield jr.,
of Brooklyn, who returned yesterday
from a meeting of the Joint Legislative
Committee on the revision of the elec?
tion laws in Syracuse, to sit as a mem- ;
ber of the Lockwood committee, said i
the committee had not definitely de?
cided to recommend the abolition of
the direct primary. He admitted, how?
ever, that the suggestion had been
made to the committee by representa?
tives from upstate sections.
"I do not favor the entire repeal of
the direct primary law," said Assem?
blyman Caulfield, "but there is no
doubt that there will be modifications
possibly along the lines of the old
Iliiurian-Green law. Certain points in
the present law must be corrected, be?
cause they open the way for political
| commercialism."
Mr. Caulfield said the report of the
I committee to the next Legislature
would recommend the elimination of
numerous clerks on election boards
and the reduction to a minimum of the
work devolving upon election inspec?
tors. The reduction of printed matter,
talley sheets, etc., required under the
present law will be recommended. The
Assemblyman said tiie committee
hoped, if the recommendations were
adopted, they would in a few years'
time result in the saving of several
million dollars in consumption of paper
and the present overlapping of clerks j
and inspectors.

Gag Woman,
Get $500,000
In Jewelry
(Continuai) from page on?',
(tairs. She leaped its entire crepth to j
the floor below, she declares. Two !
badlye sprained ankles and heels ripped '
from her slippers bear her out. At
the bottom she collapsed. Inside of i
two seconds the burglars were guv
rounding her.
"We might as well hit her over the .
head for luck," on?' said. A sweep of !
hi* hand to his hip pocket convinced
the terrified woman that he meant it.
H wa,s at this juncture that the gal?
lant Frenchman came to the succor of
a lady in distress.
"Not zat," he remonstrated. "Ma- !
dame will not give trouble again."
The others gruffly agreed to abstain i
from violence, but they lost no time in!
blindfolding and gagging ?Mrs. Palmer.1
They bore her to the bathroom on the
toji floor, only a few feet from where
Ranzone and Margaret lay bound, and'
proceeded *o tie her hands together.
They had torn a sheet into strips for
this purpose and were about to bind
her legs when the Frenchman once i
more interposed. He went to a couch
in the adjoining room and returned,
with a heayy blanket.
"Madame would be more com-fort
ab-le," he began, at the some time .
wrapping the blanket about Mrs. ?Pal
mer s shoulders and body.
"Wouldn't the frog give yuh a pain?"
< no of the others asked his pal, but
they permitted him to have his way and ;
tied the rope around Mrs. Palmer,
blanket and all.
210 Pearls in Necklace
Sometime during the few moments
that elapsed between her leap down ,
the stairs and her being carried up
again, Mrs. Palmer had succeeded in
removing the necklace and shoving it
down her bodice, which was the first
place the burglars looked for it when
they say it was no longer about her
throat.
The necklace contains 210 pearls of
graduated size, with a large pear-shaped
pearl for a clasp. The other articles
they took from Mrs. Palmer's person ,
were two tortoise shell hairpins, set'
with square diamonds; a flexible plati
num bracelet with diamonds and sap?
phires, a platinum wrist watch with
square diamonds set aiong the edge'
and in the stem winder, a gold mesh
bag with two sappTiires in the clasp,
a platinum horseshoe brooch with a
gold lock, a gold pin with four center i
stone diamonds set in platinum, a small
gold mesji.purse and a gold pencil.
The remainder of the loot, obtained
from the floor below, consisted of a.
dressing clock with gold trimmings'
and set with diamonds, a geld and,
silver clock, a Russian sable stole, 12 '?
feet 10 inches long; a smaller sable
stole, a gray squirrel stole, 6 feet in ?
lr:ii;ih; a silver fox and a gray fox;
neckpiece.
Something that may help in solving I
the crime dropped from the lips of j
one of the burglars after he had de?
manded that Mrs. Palmer tell him
where her diamond collar was,
"I haven't any," she managed to flay
in the brief interval the gag was re?
moved from her mouth to allow her
to reply.
Bandit Talks of Chauffeur
"Wait till I see that Dago chauffeur,"
the bandit exclaimed, "I'll knock his I
bean off."
Mrs. Palmer has no chauffeur of her
own.
Her denial that she possessed a dia?
mond collar did not satisfy the des- j
peradoes, for tvo of them returned to !
the bedroom oa the second floor and
turned everything upside down in their !
search for it.
Meanwhile the Frenchman played the :
double role of guard and cavalier at !
the side of Mrs. Palmer.
"If there is anything Madame re- i
quires-?" he asked after an hour or !
so had passed. He loosed the gag for
a moment.
Mrs. Palmer said her throat pained :
Vier.
"A lozenge?" he inquired, and took
a box of them from his pocket.
She shook her head.
"A cigarette, maybe?"
"A drink?"
Spray? Throat of Victim
Mrs. Palmer told him that on her j
dressing table there was an atomizer j
she used to spray her throat. The
pclite burglar bowed, replaced the j
gag, went downstairs and returned in ?
a jiffy with the atomizer.
Then he gently and expertly as any !
trained nurse spray?, d the throat of
the woman be was helping despoil of
a fortune. He performed the operation
not once, but six times, between then
and 7:80 o'clock.
All this time the Frenchman's con-j
federates were looking high and low;
for the diamond collar they had been ;
erroneously informed Mrs. Palmer
owned. In their search they gathered I
up the valuable furs and other articles '
they later made away with, but their
minds were chiefly set on the mythical'
collar.
They showed this by going several [
times to the closets where Sanzfino and i
.Margaret wore imprisoned and demand-i
ing that they reveal the hiding place
of this object. The repeated insistence!
of the servants that they knew' nothing,
of any such article of jewelry must!
have final'v convinced the robbers, for !
they gave it up.
It was long after daylight when ?
one of them opened the closet doors,'
which adjoined each other, and ad?
dressed the butler and the maid:
' Two of us are going now," he said,
"but one of us is going to stick around.
So. if you know whit's good for you
you'll keep d - ?i'iiet for a while."
Ilutler Hobbles to Maid
The little Filipino, exhausted by hit
ten and a half hours of lying bound
on the hard floor, waited till he heard
from below the faint click of the clos?
ing street door. Off and on during hi?!
long-enforced vigil he had wriggled hia
ankles and hail succeeded in loosening
the binding sufficiently to permit him
to hobble to where Margaret lay. Sh*
was helpless to aid cither him or her?
self, and Sanzone went painfully ex?
ploring until he came upon his mis?
tress.
One of Mrs. Palmer's hands was just
free enough to let her unravel the knot
that tied Sanzone's wrists. Then he
freed himself, Mrs. Palmer and Mar?
garet.
Mrs. Palmer tried to telephone and
found that her visitors had had the
foresight to cut the wire. From a front
window she signaled the janitress of
an apartment house across the street
and asked her to notify Pease & Elli
man. her realty brokers, to send a man
up right away. A representative of this
firm reached the house shortly after 9
o'clock, but it was two hours later be?
fore the police were told of the rob?
bery.
SulTers From Shock
Mrs. Palmer was in bed all day yes
terday with a trained nurse in at?
tendance. It was said she was suffer?
ing from injuries she suffered in jump?
ing down the flight of stairs and from
.?hock. She was to talk to no one but
relatives, detectives assigned to the
case by Captain of Police Luane, who
is in charge of the investigation, and
(lie agency operatives.
Mrs. Palmer carried only about $53,
000 insurance on the valuables that
were stolen, it was said. The necklace
she values at $400,000 is insured for
?I0.G00, it, was made known.
She has lived alone in the East
Nineteenth Street house, save for
servants, for the last three years. It
??: a block and a half from the home
of '1rs. Andrew Carnegie. She owns
che property, but has been trying to
lease or sell it. intending, according to
report, to go to Paris to live.
It was in the French capital that
Charlotte Palmer, who had been a
chorus girl in Pe Wolf Hopper's
"Wang," in "It Happened in Nord
land" and "Lucille," Lew Fields's pro?
ductions, married James C. Parrish jr.,
November 11, 1910. They had been
friends since shortly before Parrish
graduated from Harvard in 1907. She
is now about thirt-y-fivc years old and
extremely prepossessing.
Parrish is a son of James Cresson
Parrish, second husband of Emily
Thorn, whose mother was the daughter
cf Commodore Vanderbilt.
Divorced in 1916
Parrish was granted an interlocu?
tory decree of divorce from her in
February, 1916, by Justice Tompkins in
White Plains. The nature of the
grounds upon which it was granted
were never made known, the papers
being ordered sealed. Since that time
the former Mrs. Parrish has gone under
her maiden name. Her mother, Mrs.
Florence V. King, lives at 110 108th
Street, Richmond Hill, L. I.
All of the keys that exist to tho
doors of the house, in so far as Mrs.
Palmer knows, have been accounted for,
the police said.
