DR. J. W. HILL IS SUED BY WOMAN t Continued from First Piwce] terday afternoon shortly after the summons In Miss Covington's suit had been filed In tho county clerk's office by her attorney, Nathaniel F. Schmidt, of 220 Broadway. Before going he declared that she had no valid claim against him and was merely trying: to compel him to pay her monoy not due her In order to avoid unpleasant notoriety. He told his attorney, Balnbrldge Colby, that he didn't know the nature of the action In which the summons had been served and Mr. Colby himself Rot. his first information that the suit was for breach of promise when he was told of statements made by Miss Coving ton's attorney. She is 30. He 52 Years Old lawyer Schmidt said yesterday that his client is about 30 years old. while Dr. Hill Is 52, and that she first met ; him in Chicago In 1910 when she was ! manager of the lyceum and cnau tauqua branch of the Western Vaude ville Association. Miss Covington told her attorney that the clergyman fell In love with her at once and that in July, 1910, shortly after they first met, he proposed marriage. Miss Covington reciprocated the clergyman's love, her attorney said, although he was nearly twenty years | older than herself. He then brought her to New York and attached her to his own staff, with the understanding that he would marry her here, she said. She says she discovered In the latter part of 1911 that Dr. Hill dldn t Intend to marry her and that he really couldn't wed her because he had a wife. Lawyer Schmidt described his client as an able writer of fiction and poetry r.nd said she is now on a lecture tour in the West. She was formerly a school teacher, he said. Bainbrldge Colby, discussing the suit against his client, said last night that because of the fact that many threats of disagreeable publicity for Dr. Hill' had been made before the suit was actually filed, the bringing of the ac tion is a "miserable, rotten thing, too disgusting to consider." He said he was certain that his client didn't know when the summons was served that the plaintiff alleged that there had been a promise of marriage. Son Threatens Reprisals John Warren Hill, son of the clergy man, said last night at his father's home, 151 West One Hundred and Eighteenth street: "This case is simply a shakedown, as bad as any I ever saw attempted. I have material In my possession which from my knowledge of criminal law 1 believe could be used as the basis for a prosecution of this woman." Mr. Hill said that Miss Covington has been making demands for money on various grounds against his father for a long time and on one occasion stated that, her silence could be bought for $5,000. She was discharged by the Rev. Dr. Hill, his son said, and sub sequently imagined she had claims for back salary and on other grounds. "Several weeks ago. while I was on my vacation, this woman called up my office and said she was a lifelong friend of mine, which, of course is un true, and wanted to know where T was." said Mr. Hill. "She then wrote me at the district attorney's office and stated that she wanted to see me as soon as possible in order to make ar rangements so that a good deal of an noyance should not come to my fam ily. I refused to see her." Rays She is -10 Years Old Mr. TTill said that the plaintiff is about 40 years old and that she was in his father's employ only a few months. The Rev. Dr. John Wesley Hill has other grown children besides his son, John Warren Hill. His first wife was Nora Holmes, of Findlay, Ohio, whom he married in 188S, and his second wife was Sadie Harrison Schmidt, of Brooklyn, whom he married in 1906, while pastor of the Janes Methodist Episcopal Church, Brooklyn, just be fore becoming head of the Metro politan Temnle in West Fourteenth street in 1907. The Rev. Dr. Hill has been widely known as a civic, industrial and na tional peace speaker. He made his first appearance in the Blaine cam paign and took an active part Ip the McKtnley campaign in 1896. He was chaplain of the Republican national conventions in 1908 and 1912, and during the campaign of 1912 accom panied President Taft on his north western tour. He resigned from the naptorate of the Metropolitan Temnle to have more time to work for Presi dent Taft and also for the catise of international neace. He visited Japan In 1911 and established the Asiatic branch of the International Peace Fo'-um at Tokio. The Rev. Dr. Hill is a member of the Republican Club of New York and the Fnlon League of Chicago and Is vice-president of the American Civic Association. His office is at 18 East Forty-first street. The Rev. John Wesley Hill was nastor of the Grace Methodist Church, having here in 1906 to go to New Tork.

DID NOT NEED BIOCK SIGNALS President Howard Elliott of the New Haven Line spoke at a dinner in Bos ton on railway safety. "Why, the day may come," he de clared, "when all roads will be as safe as the Great Kentucky Central. "A passenger on the Great Kentucky Central said to the conductor: " 'Do you use the block system on this line?' " 'No, we ain't got no use for the block system, stranger.' " 'Oh, I suppose, then, you use elec tric or pneumatic signaling?' " 'No; no use for them nuther.' " 'Then you have train dispatchers, and run your train by telegraph?' " 'Nope.' " 'But when you stop between sta tions you at least go back a hundred yards and flag the rear?' " 'Nope, stranger; nope.' " 'Then,' said the passenger angrily, 'all I've got to say is that this road is run in a criminally reckless manner.' "The conductor frowned, took out a plug of tobacco, and snapped off & chew viciously. " 'Stranger,' he said, 'lf you don't like this line say so, and I'll stop the train and you can git oft and walk. I'm the president of this line and the sole owner. This is the Great Ken tucky Central, and, stranger, don't you forget it. She's seven miles and a half long. She runs from Paint Hock to Xola Chucky. This is the only train that travels on the Great Kentucky Central, and what you hear snortin' ahead is our only engine. We ain't never had a collision. We ain't never had an accident. What's more, we never will. Now are you satisfied, stranger, or will I pull the string and let you git out and walk?'" RAILROAD NOTES The Philadelphia and Reading Rail way Company will run an Autumn leaf excursion from Philadelphia to Read ing August 10. The Harry Seers Company of New York has received the contract for the erection of a large merchandise pier at Greenville. N. J. The Pennsylvania railroad machine | shops went on full time yesterday. As a result of the new order 1800 men will work 55 hours each week until further notice. The Oriental Limited, from Chicago to Seattle, over the Rurlington and Great Northern, arrived at Seattle "on time 507 times in 530 days after a 72- hour run over 2207 miles of steel rails across seven States. Although the New York Central has finally closed for its 1916 steel rail re quirements, placing order for 120,100 tons, the Pennsylvania Railroad com pany has not yet acted on this impor tant matter, nor is it likely to take up the question until the return of President Rea to active work. Mr. Rea is improving steadily in health, and it is thought he will be at his desk in a few weeks.

WIRELESS CARRIES VOICE 2,500 MILES [■Continued from First Page] and Telegraph Company, sitting in the offices of the company at 16 Dey street. New York City, spoke into a Bell telephone, connected by wires of the Bell system with the wireless tower at Arlington, Va., and his words were transmitted by wireless telephony to Mare Island, near San Francisco. Cal. This latest and most remarkable triumph of the telephonic art was under the direct supervision of John J. Carty, Chief Engineer of the Amer ican Telephone and Telegraph Com pany, who has been in San Francisco gineers was located, at-the Naval Radio Station, wireless telephone speech from the telephone and Naval L and Army officials at Washington waa for several weeks. He received Presl- i dent Vail's first message at Mare 1 Island and replied to It and repeated l It back to Arlington by wire. The s demonstration was held by permission of the Navy Authorities at the radio 1 stations, and the experiments were < witnessed and verified by them. "Hello Carty" It is interesting to note that in starting the first message in Its flight 1 through the ether of the Pacific Coast President Vail used a Bell telephono, designed for wire working. At 12:48 Eastern time. President Vail, sur rounded by a few officials of the Am erican Telephone and Telegraph Com pany, picked up a Bell transmitter and called Into it, "Hello, Carty: this Is Mr. Vail." In spite of the fact that the -words went by wire to Washing ton and then leaped through the air to the Pacific Coast, Engineer Carty's reply came back almost Instantaneous ly: "This is fine; this Is wonderful." i The groups of men gathered together , at opposite sides of the continent knew that wireless transcontinental telephony would henceforth be num bered among the miracles of modern science. Mr. Carty states that talking across the continent Is recognized by the ex pert* as being of greater difficulty than talking across the Atlantic, for the transmission over water is much easier than over land, particularly In view of the formidable mountain ranges to be crossed on the continent. "Telephone messages," Mr. Carty says, "were transmitted with success from Arlington, Va., to the Isthmus of Panama, where they were received at : the Government Radio Station by one of his engineers and by the Naval , officers In charge, who telegraphed back their contents. At San Diego, 1 also where one of the telephone en received. Talking across the Atlantic by means of this new system Is now but a matter of Installing- the neces sary apparatus." When asked what he thought would be the limit of this new system of his company, he stated that he had no The Boldest Offer and Claim Ever Made in This City Yes, he is coming;. Advice reached here that Gray, the Quaker health teacher, will arrive here next Saturday and make his headquarter* at Keller's Drug Store. 406 Market street. Gray will remain here for a limited time, during; which he will prove what Quaker remedies will do. Here is how he will prove it: Certainly very bold claims are made for the Wonderful Quaker Remedies, one of which is that Quaker Herb Ex tract will remove tapeworms, quickly and surely, without dieting, sickness or ill effect. Now to prove this claim Gray asks any person who may be afflicted with a tapeworm to call at Keller's Drug; Store and he will fur nish a bottle of Quaker Herb Extract absolutely free Just to prove that this wonderful remedy will expel tape- doubt whatever that when the neces sary apparatus is installed that tt would be possible to talk from New York to Toklo, Japan, using the trans continental line from New York to i San Franclseo and wireless across the Pacific. I worms in a few hours. Now this a fair, open, honest proposition and tha more people who call to take advan tage of It the better Gray will be pleased. Here is certainly a chance to force him to prove the powers of Quaker Herb Extract as soon as he reaches Harrlsburg. It costs nothing to talk to the Health Teacher and he has arranged to remain at Keller's Drug Store daily from 9 a. m. to 5 p. m., where he will cheerfully answet- all questions pertaining to Quaker Herb Remedies, now almost universally ac knowledged as the most wonderful remedies on earth for sufferers of rheumatism, catarrh, kidney, liver, stomach and blood troubles. Remem ber, any person having & tapeworm can obtain the Quaker Herb Extract free next Monday. Gray makes this offer solely to get some quick testi monies and to prove that Quaker Herb Extract actually does all that he claims for It. Watch the dally papers for further reports.—Advertisement
