BlindWarHero,
Stabbed, Rewon
Stolen Bride
Sightless ?rgonne Veteran,
Who Went to Italy With
Mother, Weds Girl Who
Charmed Him by Voice
Slashed by Angry Father
Young Wife Rejoins Her
People, but Ruse Gets Her
on Ship With Husband
The story of the triumph of a blind
man'3 love over parental rage and at?
tempted assassination was rovealed
yesterday when Salvatore Fiiippo, an
American warrior of the Argonne,
brought in his bride from Naples on
tho Italian liner Argentina.
A German bullet passing sideways
through both eyes robbed Fiiippo of
his sight, but it did not detract a jot
of his fighting spirit.
When America entered the war Fi?
iippo enlisted with tho 110th Infantry
and was one of the first of the men of
the A. E. F. to get into action. One
evening, when four of his comrades
were in No Man's Land wounded by
machine gun bullets and exposed to
sporadic fire, Filippi crept out and got
them. He had dragged to safety three
men and was out to get the fourth
when a German bullet clipped him.
After several months in a hospital he
was sent home and lived with his
mother at Erie, Pn. The soldier's
mother, an Italian by birth, told her
son a year ago that she wished to end
her day? in Italy, and, aided by his
disability compensation from the gov?
ernment, he took her to Italy.
Voice Wins Soldier's Love
At a village in the Province of Lucca
Fiiippo met Isahella Bruna, who was
then sixteen. He could not see her,
but her voice and the attentions she
showed to him caused him to love her.
She pitied him, and this pity led to
leve.
When the seriousness of their affec?
tion became apparent to the head of
the Bruna household he warned Fiiippo
to keep away from hia daughter and his
home and threatened the blind Ameri?
can with harm if he persisted in his
suit. The couple, however, kept up a
clandestine engagement, and several
i. onths ago were married secretly.
They were harbored in the home of the
husband's mother for a week, and one
night the bride's father, accompanied
by three of his townsmen, broke into
the room of the sleeping couple,
stabbed Fiiippo, leaving him for dead,
and took his bride away.
While recovering from his wounds in
a hospital Filippo's mother sought the
>oung wife, but she had been won over
by her father, and would not listen to
the pleadings of her mother-in-law that
she return to Fiiippo.
Wife Seeks Blind Husband
Put in time her pity that had once
ripened into love revived, and she
sgain contrived to meet her husband.
She refused, however, to live with him.
A few weeks ago the warrior of the
Argonne told his bride that he was
going back to America. She went to
Naples to bid him good by. He told her
the vessel was to sail at 4 p. m. They
sat in his cabin talking, and when the
hour of parting camo the bride realised
the vessel ha_ sailed at 2 p. m, and
Lhat she was then some twenty miles
out in the Mediterranean.
Resenting the ruse, the young woman
refused to speak to her husband. He
had bought a ticket, hoping that she
would accompany him, and had his
passport vised for himself and wife.
After the third day of isolation Isa?
bella sought her husband, and both
were happy yesterday when they ar?
rived in New York.
They were driven from the pier in
South Brooklyn to a hotel in Manhat?
tan, and after Mrs. Fiiippo has seen
enough of New York they will go to
th, blidegroom's home, in Erie, Pa.
Hemming's Widow Files
Notice of Will Contest
Would Have Court Rule That
Broker Slain by Caretaker
Difd Intestate
Mrs. Helen Henderson Hemming filed
notice in the Surrogates' Court yester?
day that she intends to contest the will
of Henry G. Hemming, broker, who was
shot to death on July 14 by a caretaker
nt Mr?. Hemming's estate, near North
port, L. I.
Mr. Hem_)ing made his will February
28, 1920, which was before his marriage
to the contestant. He left all his prop?
erty to John G. Hemming, a son by a
previous marriage, with a request that
the beneficiary give $500 each to Maud
Hemming, of 1739 North Sixteenth
Street, Philadelphia, and Mrs. Agnes
H. Sceese, of Tucson, Ariz., sisters of
the testator.
The Hcmmings were married last
May. They were estranged at the time
of the tragedy. In the petition accom?
panying the will on file in the Surro?
gates' Court Mrs. Hemming is referred
to as the "alleged widow" of the
broker.
Mrs. Hemming s-ys that she was
free to marry Mr. Hemming l_3t May,
as more than five years had elapsed
r-ir.ce the disappearance of her prior
husband, Richard V. Thome. She con?
tends that the will is invalid so far as
it afTects her interest in the estate and
calls upon the court to hold that Mr.
Hemming died intestate.
It is said that the estate will be re?
duced greatly by the payment of claims.

"CapitoLon Wheels"
Plans Highways Inspection in
Auto, Meantime Keeping Out
of Way of Springfield Sheriff
Special Dispatch to The Tribune
CHICAGO. July 29.?For an indefinite
period Governor Small will maintain a
"capitol on wheel's." He will tour the
state in an automobile inspecting the
highways, on Wiiich a $60,000,000 bond
issue is to be etxpended. According to
friends, he phuis to transact public
business from th.-e various county seats,
and a corps of traveling secretaries
will journey back and forth from
Springfield carrying cut the Governor's
ciders on state business. Heads of
various state dep?ari,ments will meet
him at designated points on the tour
and will consult him by long distance

conference closo friends of the Gov- i
crnor urged him to break away from j
Mayor Thompson and his Chicago affil?
iations. They aTguad that much of his |

warned him that a wave of anti-Sma?l ?
sentiment was beginning to appeur
over the state.
Mrs. F. J. Gould's Divorce
Complaint Is Dismissed
Justice Mullan in the Supreme Court
yesterday dismissed the complaint in
the suit for divorce broufht by Mrs.
Edith Kelly Gould against Frank Jay
Gould, who is living in Fiance. The
decision was rendered on a demurrer
interposed by Mr. Gould bo the com?
plaint of his wife, based on a decree of
divorce already issued in favor of Mr.
Gould by the French courts.
Mrs. Gould brought two suits here
against her husband, one for separa?
tion based on allegations of extreme
cruelty, and the other for divorce, in
which case she named several French
women. It was her contention that the
French courts were without jurisdiction
over her husband's suit, as they were
only temporary residents of Fiance and
that their legal residence was in New
York.
Counsel for Mr. Gould, upon argu
| ment before Justice Mullan, showed
that Mrs. Gould submitted herself to
the jurisdiction of France by defending
the action against her there and later
by appealing to the higher courts from
the decision sustaining the suit of Mr.
Gould, wherein he mentioned a wealthy
young Mexican.
Justice Mullan said there was no
room for suspicion of a fraudulent re?
sort to the French courts and added
that "except in the most technical of
senses, the parties were permanently
domiciled in France."

Fight to Save
Husband Told
By Mrs. Stone
(Continued from n*ia<) onn)
speak briefly of lier terrible experience.
The accident in which Dr. Stone lost
his life occurred on Saturday, July 16,
she said, and not Sunday, as was at
first believed. Mrs. Stone said that on
Saturday morning they set out to climb
Mount Kanon, without being fastened
together by a rope. In the afternoon
they had nearly reached the summit,
and were negotiating a particularly
stiff bit of almost perpendicular cliff.
Mr. Stone was slightly in advance.
Disappeared in Abyss.
Mrs. Stone said she suddenly looked
up and saw her husband slip. Then he
fell past, her, and she saw him strike
the faco of the cliff, h?3 body turning
over und over until he disappeared in >
the abyss below.
Although Mrs. Stone held faint hope
of saving her husband's life, and ?
realized the grave dangers that con?
fronted her in the task that lay ahead,
she endeavored to go to his rescue.
Fastening a rope to the edge of a leclpe
she climbed rapidly down until she
reached the end of the rope. There
was no foothold and no handhold and
she found herself dangling against the
st^ep mountainside.
For some time :he hung there, try?
ing vainly to draw herself back up
again. Finally, exhausted, she loosed
her hold, expecting to dash to her
death. Instead, she landed on the
four-foot ledge, the only one in sight,
about ten feet below. There sho re?
mained for eight days.
During that time clouds often sur?
rounded the moutain tops and fre?
quently rain and wind storms, accom?
panied by lightning and thunder,
broke about her. Long before help ar?
rived she had about despaired of ever
being rescued. But her lemarkable
stamina carried her through.
Dog Bites Three Children
Spaniel Cornered l>y Trio of
Patrolmen and Killed
A black mongrel water spaniel, with
foam dripping from it* jaws, ran among
the children playing on Fifty-sixth
Street, between Second and Third ave?
nues, Brooklyn, yesterday, and bit
three of the youngsters
The children screamed and ran.
Mothers rushed into the street to res?
cue their little ones. "
Patrolmen Daniel Kinana, Patrick
Curley and Andrew Cole chased the dog
into a vacant lot and shot it. The car?
cass was taken to the Department of
Health to determine whether there was
any danger of hydrophobia resulting
from the bites.
The three children were treated by
Drs. Campana and Peacock, of the
Norwegian Hospital, and taken home.
Three New Postal
Buildings, One for
Courts, Asked Here
Sites on 30th St. and West
of Main Office Suggested
Besides City Hall Station
in Report Made to Senate
WASHINGTON, July 20- In addition
to recommendations for a new postoffice
building in Now York on the City Hull
sito and for a new Federal building on
another site to be selected, the joint,
postal commission in its report on the
ncod for additional postal facilities in
New York City, laid before the Sennte
yesterday by its chairmnn, Senator
Townsend, of Michigan, recommends
utilisation of two additional buildings.
One of these is on the site of the Penn?
sylvania Railroad, west of the present
general pofjtoffice building, between
Thirty-first and Thirty-third streets,
west of Eighth Avenue and cast of
Ninth Avenue.
The commission further recommends
lousing a site in Thirtieth Street, be
tv een Ninth and Tenth avenues, with
an area 100 by 600 feet. This is of?
fered to the government by the New
York Central at $1.70 a square foot
for the floor area recommended. The
first mentioned site has been offered
to the government for $2,250,000, the
Pennsylvania road to continue to oper?
ate its cars beneath the proposed
structure.
The commission recommends thai
plans for the new building on tho site
of the City Hall postal station be im?
mediately prepared. It is urged thai
tho work be forwarded in such a man?
ner that buildings on the City Hal
site may be vacated by July 1, 1925
the courts to occupy the buildings t,
be constructed for them, and thi
postoffice to be provided with tempo
rary quarters to be rented for us?
during the period of construction.
It will be necessary, the report adds
to obtain action by Congress and ap
propriutions for the proposed building
as well as for the site of the Federa
buildings.
"Investigation by the commission,
says the report, "has shown the urgen
need of relieving congestion at th
City Hall station, which has been know
for many years as the New York Gen
eral Postoffice. The receipts of thi
station aro as great as those of th
entire City of Ct. Louis, which, fror
the standpoint of postal revenue!
riinks fifth among cities of the Unite
States."
New York is given recognition in th
report as the most important postz
center in the United States, both as t
int?j"n:_tional and domestic mails.
In 1 iie investigation made by th
commission, it is pointed out, spech
attention has been paid to the seapor
the harbor boat service, space requin
ment3, the separation of parcels po?
from letter mail, breakage _nd depr?
dation, the efficient and economic hai
dling of vmrcels post, the motor vehic

and his diamond rings, Mr. Hitchcock
said he had given them to his wife.
