ted that, far from being guilty or lar-

at the collie was his. After many hours

HThe dog wns subpenaed. Sport was

Doctor Fisher referred to the case of

Doctor Kelchner stated that several of
his patients came to him with statements
that Infantile paralysis cases had been dis
covered In Wildwood, and that they were
afraid of It and left his establishment. In
one place, he stated. Doctor Cohen, when

he was going to quarantine the place and
those who wanted to could get out. He
further stated "that Doctor Cohen was un

HARDWARE STORE CONTINUES
NKW YOnK. Sept, 29. "A novelette con.
fesslon." alleged to have been written by
nineteen-year-old Asia Asche, Is the basis
of a suit for annulment filed today by her
husband, Herman T. Asche, forty years old,
millionaire Importer. The couple's married
bliss lasted Just fix weeks the reward ot
nine years' patient waiting on Asche'a part,
for ho felt In love with Asta when she was
only nine years old.
Asta's heart, Asche charges, never be
longed to him. but burned In loyal love for
a young artist. It was to the latter so
far the "man of mystery" In the strango
case that tho "novelette confosslon" of his
beautiful young bride was penned, In It
she reveals, according to her husband's affi
davit, that her marriage to him was a plot
to get his money nnd that she had been his
wife only In name, so she might return to
the young artist ns she had left him.
When Asta was eighteen, shortly before
Asche unbosomed to her his secret love of
eight years' standing, he snys she secretly
married a young man of Ilushnellvllle. N.
V.. nnd lived with him two days, after
which the marriage wns annulled. ".
He asserts the "novelette," which Is en
titled "Justice," throughout parallels the
story of young Asta, who before her matri
monial venture wns an esthetic dancer.
The heroine, moreover. Is described ns a
girl who, fully aware of the -power of her
beauty over all men, retains "an unsullied
body because she realizes that with that as
an asset she could play for higher Btakcs."
Asta Is the daughter of Andrew O'Con
nor, famous Irish-American sculptor. Asche
comes from one of the most distinguished
families In Norway.

Apparent Failure Due to Lack
of Time, One Leader
Declares
NEW YORK, Sopt. 29. Although a stun
ning blow has been dealt to tho hopes of
strike leaders by the failure of the building
trades workmen nnd teamsters to Join a
general wnlkout In sympathy with the trac
tion employes, Hugh Frayhe, chairman of
tho new union board of strategy, declares
today that "the fight Is still on."
"We have not given up tho Idea of a
general tlc-up," said Frayne. "The ap
parent failure of various unions to Join us
was due to tho fact that they did not have
tlmo to act."
The allied building trades and the team
sters, comprising about 120,000 men, have
deferred decisive action for a week, and In
the meantime strike leaders are working
to bring about Monday the general sympa
thetic strike that was scheduled for last
Wednesday.
rollce Commissioner Woods, who has
been following the situation, said that the
labor situation In less menacing today than
It has been at nny other time since the ele
vated railway and subway men quit.
The danger of a complete tie-up of ele
vated and subwny lines through the action
by the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi
neers also Is dwindling rapidly.
Certain ot the labor leaders are bitterly
disappointed over the showing made, while
others continue to Insist that about 200,000
men and women have struck. Even this
figure is short of the predictions made yesterday.

TMward M. Painter. Philadelphia police
man nnd Civil War veteran, died early to
day at his home, 2532 North Seventh street
He was seventv-one years old; death was
due to old age.
Although a native of Philadelphia and a
member of the police force and here for
thirty years, the gray-haired drummer "lad"
i known principally for his prized drum,
which he cnrrled through the bloodiest
battles of the Civil War and which pro
claimed peace at Appomattox Courthouse
after the surrender of General Ie.
Painter always said his drum wns his
talisman nnd that Its life was charmed.
So proud wns ho of It, In fact, that he had
It decorated with the regimental nnd brig
ade colors under which he served nnd
painted on It his full record throughout the
Civil War, Since the exciting days of
artual service, when It stirred the pulses of
the boya In blue. Painter has cherished It
In his home, and valued It above all his
possessions.
On state occasions, the veteran drummer
has consented to use the relic at special war
time gatherings and with the police band,
of which ho has been n member since Its
organisation.
Painter enlisted at the nuthreak of the
Civil War In Company C, of the 119th Penn
sylvania Volunteers. He was only sixteen
years old and served throughout Hie war
as a drummer. The beats of his drum
sounded In thlrty-e'ght battles, beginning
with tho battle ot Fredericksburg In 1862.
and ending with the battle ot Sailor's Creek
on April 6, 186S.
Three days Inter the same old drum an
nounced the glad tidings of peace. While
thousands were bullet-ridden, the drum nnd
Its drummer went through the wnr un
scathed. For many years Talnter was connected
with the Fourth and York streets station.
For the Inst four years, owing to ago, he
had been caretaker at the police training
school. Tenth nnd Greenwich streets. He Is
Survived by one daughled, Miss Annie
Painter.
Funernl arrangements have not been an
nounced. Several of Painter's comrades
hope to have a military funeral and let the
prized drum help escort the vcternn drum
mer to the grave.
