MILLER Mrs. Miller, who is chairman of the Pennsylvania League of Women Voters, visited this city yesterday, and issued an appeal to the women of the State to take an active interest in the selection of delegates to the Constitutional Convention, which will be held early aiit year.

11 ITH SECURES QUOTA "Women voters are expected to play an important part in the selection of delegates to the proposed Constitutional Convention, which is to be held next year. Mrs. John O. Miller, chairman of the Pennsylvania League of Women Voters, visited this city yesterday, and said that unusual interest was being manifest by women in the selection of delegates to the convention, and that the interest was particularly marked in Bucks, Montgomery, Chester, and Delaware counties. On her arrival, Mrs.

Miller urged women voters in other sections of the State to take just as keen an interest in the matter, and in a statement addressed to all women in the State directed attention to the necessity of getting properly equipped to run as candidates. The election of the delegates will be held in connection with the fall primary election on September 20. Mrs. Miller's call to the women voters was made regardless of party ties. In her statement Mrs.

Miller said: "The women of Philadelphia and the State-at-large apparently are taking considerable interest in the selection of delegates for the Constitutional Convention. The work of this eonvention will be so important that the women voters will make no mistake if they pay particular attention to the nomination of qualified candidates for delegates. "Under the law governing the selection of members of the convention, the delegates will be elected on party tickets. Therefore. I urge all women voters to enroll in the party of their choice, Decreeing that the law requires a man to support his wife until they are legally separated and that the defendant's course of conduct virtually amounts to abandonment.

Vice Chancellor Learning, in Camden, yesterday, made an order directing Lawyer Michael D. Hayes to support his wife. Recently in the public limelight through allegations of his wife that he had been on a silence strike since April, Hayes, a lawyer with offices in this city and a home in Collingswood, is ordered to rsr; his wife. Mrs. Martha D.

Hayes, weekly and also to give her counsel fee of Mrs. Hayes sued for maintenance on the ground that by his long silence and his alleged failure to provide for her he was guilty of constructive desertion. "It is clear," said the court, "that since June, 1921, the defendant has separated himself from his wife and abandoned her as fully and completely as though he had left his home and remained away in parts unknown to her and refused to contribute to her support further than to permit her to occupy their present residence. "Defendant is petitioner's lawful husband and as such owes to her the duty of support," continues Vice Chancellor Learning. "If her conduct does not meet his approval it is not his Eirivilege to -abandon her as a wife units that conduct affords grounds for divorce, since one spouse cannot be Justified in assuming the right to live separate from the other for causes that will not justify a court iu granting the right." In conclusion the court quotes from a decision of the Court of Errors and Appeals to the effect that "the common law obligation of a husband to support his wife continues unless and until pe procures a divorce from her."

'Weismann. of 'JM4 Jasper street, the possession of his machine. Weismann was driving near Second and Somerset streets when he was hailed by a stranger, who asked for a ride. After he had invited the etranger in, the latter suddenly flashed a badge asserting to be a policeman and ordered Weismann to show his driver's license. Weismann drove to a garage nearby to establish his identity for the "policeman" and as be left the car the stranger drove away with Weismann's car.

The stolen ma-thine is valued at $1800. With abont $207,000 deposited and less than $150,000 drawn out since the run on the Northwestern Trust Company, at Ridge and Columbia avenues, began Friday night, officials of the bank felt last night that the false rumor which startrdl the uneasiness among small depositors had been entirely disproved. State bank examiners, who went over the books of the bank only two weeks ago yesterday, checked up again yesterday and found everything to their satisfaction. Every person in line yesterday was paid up to the time the bank closed at noon. Furthermore, there rested in huge heaps on the floor of the bank, carefully guarded, piles of greenbacks stacked up like paving blocks, more than a million dollars' worth, ready for depositors should they have wished it.

In many cases one look at the ready money was sufficient, and fright left the customers. Some drew out a few dollars and left the bulk of their money in the bank's keeping, saying they just wanted to see if they could get the monej-. As an additional reassurance to depositors. William Freihofer, president of the bank, sent the following letter to more than a dozen ministers of all denominations to be read from their pulpits today: "May I ask of you in behalf of the officers and directors of the Northwestern Trust Company, all of whom are business men of recognized standing in the community, to assure your parishioners from the pulpit that there need be no fear upon the part of any of the depositors because of the malicious statements circulated. "The State Ranking Kxaminer on Saturday.

July reaffirmed the regular examination of two weeks ago, that the Northwestern Trust Company is in a safe and sound financial condition and ready to meet its every obligation. I feel your making of this announcement will "have a tendency to quiet heedless fears and to reassure the people that there need be no occasion for alarm." Banks Rush to Assistance Large and small banks in all sections of the city volunteered their assistance to the trust company should it need additional funds, and maDy sent money to the which was not touched and will be returned. It was hard to tell yesterday whether the paying teller or receiving tellers were most pressed, for deposits from large customers came in as fast as money was withdrawn by the small clients. The sums taken out generally ranged from $2f to $1000. the largest being a deposit of $14,000.

Many changed their minds and put their funds back into the bank just before it closed. Charles I-. Fluck. president of the Northwest Business Men's Association, sent a letter to Mr. Freihofer, expressing regret for the "unjustified run on your splendid institution." A similar letter was received from William J.

Wahl. president of the Twenty-ninth Ward Business Men's and Taxpayers' Association, who stated that he that the readiness of the Northwestern Trust Company to meet every demand will result in even strengthening it still further in the eonfidence of the people urMiiumg Loieman aitegeu fraudulent activities in "promoting" his enterprise. "He came in a motor car and declared he was being followed bv men who wanted to get possession of a model of a successful perpetual motion machine which he had invented but which was not yet patented. "He arranged to have the model kept in the safe of a garage man in Cumberland while went away. He returned before long with the announcement that he had secured his patents.

"Having so whetted the curiosity of the residents of the town, he experienced little difficulty in disposing of shares in the venture, the garage man being the first victim. By sale of these A shares he garnered some $26,000. Pictured Cool Million Bonus "He came to Philadelphia while still selling stock and made his headquarters in a large hotel. He issued statements that a ball bearing company here was interested in the project and helped this impression along by saying he was using its laboratories for testing the machine. He refused, however, to submit the machine to the test which would compare the actual power put in with the power taken out.

"His machine was a contrivance of a wheel, a disk and a spring, which would go around for some time. The ball bearing company said that a school boy would have known that it would not work. "Toward the end he worked a final $1500 out of investors by announcing the ball bearing people would pay him $20,000 for every one-twentieth of a horse power additional that he could produce from his original machine. He expected to make a cool million dollars from this supposed bonus alone, he declared. "He further declared he had sold his rights to his machine to the Westing-house company for $160,000, which his shareholders would eventually divide.

"He disappeared in December. After this we had complaints of him. A short while ago 1 read in a Chicago paper of Mrs. R. Clapp who.

Woman Robbed of 5 Years' Savings The savings of five years were stolen resterday from Mrs. Hilda Fudska. a laundry employee, of 710 North Kighth Street, when thieves invaded the house while the woman was at work.

A trunk containing the woman's clothing, in which had been hidden three $100 Liberty Bonds and in cash, had been carried to the back yard, where it was broken open and rifled.

It is not too soon to work on this. "Less than two weeks are now available for the filing of nomination papers with the Secretary of tiie Commonwealth.

August 11 is the last day on which such nomination papers may be filed. Therefore, the voters of every congressional district in the State should see to it that properly fitted candidate fie their papers on time. "It is just as much a lapse of civic duty to fail in having nomination papers filed as it is to fail to participate in the election. You cannot effectively vote for suitable candidates for delegate unless the names of the candidates are printed on the ballot. "The question involved in the holding of a Constitutional Convention is so important that I urge alf women to watch closely so that they will have full opportunity to elect qualified delegates.

Those who are chosen as delegates will sit in a convention, the result of which may work vital changes in the fundamental body of law for Pennsylvania. No mere political hacks should be selected for this tremendously significant task. "These delegates will be nominated in the primaries of September 20. On that same date, also, the electorate of the Commonwealth will decide whether or not a convention i to be held. Even those who are opposed to the convention should be zealous in guarding the quality of the candidates who may sit in the convention.

For if the convention is authorized, as I believe it will be. then all citizens will be primarily interested in having men and women delegates in whom they can repose the fullest confidence." WEATHERC0NDITI0NS WASHINGTON. D. C. July 30.

Luckily for the common however, all but seven 4f these officers will be transferred to other destroyers when the Bell reaches Newport, which will be its base during the ensuing two wek. The Bell docked nt the Navy Yard late Friday afternoon and landed the reserves of th second contingent which left Philadelphia two weeks ago on the destroyers McKeene and Hopewell which have been working in the New F.ngland waters since that time.

Each of the first three contingents was sent awav on two destroyers, but this week the 'Bell will handle all that make up the fourth group. All of th' reservists who are to ship on the P.ell must report to Commander (i. B.
