Chicago, April 17. Alternately cry mg and screaming hystencally, begging imaginary persons not to beat her again, her hair and clothing torn and disheveled, "Mrs. Thomas Wild, young and beautiful wife of a wealthy malted milk manufacturer of Birchwood, dragged herself to the Desplaines Street Police Station at daylight this morning and related a story of a night of terror and abuse that fired everyone who heard it with a burning desire to eet" out and kill her tormentors. Yesterday afternoon she went to the West Side to visit friends and after the party broke up, eaily in the evening, two of the- men, including a professional singer who had provided part of the entertainment, started to escort her to an elevated train.

Oil the way they stopped at a corner parlor and had some ice-cream: From this point to the-elevated station the streets were deserted and half way to their destination they encountered five men, who represented themselves as policemen, attached to the morals squad. They "arrested" Mrs. Wild's escorts, two of them taking the men with them, Avhile the other three dragged her around the corner and thrust her into a covered auto-truck, which was rapidly driven to a lonely spot. For more than an hour, as nearly as she can remember, they held her prisoner in the truck. She fought as long as her strength held out and they finally released her and ran away.

Mrs. Duryeds Allowance Is Increased To $5,000 Wife Of Patricide Pleads For. Money To Enable Her To Educate Son. Special Dispatch to The Sun. New York, April 17.

Mrs. Nina' L. Duryea, decorated by France, Belgium and Russia for her war work and wife of Chester B. Duryea, who was sent to Matt.eawan after he had killed his father, Gen. Hiram Duryea, appealed to Supreme Court Justice Hendrick today to increase her allowance from her husband's estate from to a year, to enable her son Chester to continue his studies in the School of Engineering at Harvard.

The petition reveals that she has been hard pressed for funds. Mrs. Duryea was the principal supporter of the Duryea relief, one of the first war relief organizations formed. She explains that under the will of General Duryea a trust fund yielding $5,000 a year was established for her sou. She asks for the increase in her own allowance to give an additional $2,000 a year for her son's education.

"I have made inquiries as to what my husband needs at Matteawan and have learned the expense for clothing and such delicacies as he may desire approximate $oOO a year, and in case exceed that amount I am willing to do my best to help pay the samc. ns: I desire him to have every convenience and comfort possible." Allen S. Locke, attorney for Mrs. Duryea, stated that Mrs. has been assisted for some time with funds from friends and her brothers.

Justice Hendrick granted the application. Chester Dnryeii killed his father at their home in Brooklyn in 1914. This was 10 years after Mrs. Duryea obtained a decree of separation from him, which also gave her the custody of their son, TO ATTEND WORLD STIFF MEET Twelve Delegates For Geneva Convention.

DELAWARE PRIMARY HELD Governor Townsend Practically Sure As Xatlonnl Delegate. Dover, April 17. Republican State primaries in lower Delaware today were spirited in two districts in Kent county and -in both instances the organization, or the T. Coleman du Pont: faction, won. There seems to be no i doubt but that one of the first action of the county caucuses here Tuesday will be adoption of a resolution pledging the national delegates to support T.

Coleman du Pont for National Committeeman, this having been a bone of contention throughout the entire State. The possibility of a contest in Dover disappeared yesterday and on the tickets there appeared only two delegates in each district, with a contest for county committeeman in one. The assertion that former United States Senator J. Frank Allee and his son, James F. Alice, present State Senator, were in an opposition was flatly denied by both Alices.

Opinion in Kent county is that delegates from this county to the national convention will be Gen. A. R. Benson, former State chairman of the Repub lican Central Committee, and either former l.nitcd States Represent ative Walter O. Hoffecker, of Smyrna, or John W.

Herring, of Milford. the latter winning in his district in today's tight by a substantial majority. Other names mentioned as candidates for 'national delegates include D. M. Wilson ami James A.

Ilirons. both of Dover, with a possibility of John Bradley, the leader of the Republican forces in upper-Kent county. The result in Sussex county came a a great surprise. Governor Townsend, who had been the target of attack, won over his opponents, among whom wm the Layton. Lynch and Short combination.

Predictions are that the Governor will have from 2.S to 30 delegates out of 42. If this result be correct the Governor will be one of the national delegates. ORDERS HOUSING INQUIRY Senate Passes Hesolutlou Offered 11 Colder. Washington, April 17. Investigation of housing conditions over the country by a committee of five Senators is authorized in a resolution passed; today by the Senate.

The negro had been wandering about tlie neighborhood of Laurel in a dazed manner, grectly frightening women and children, many of whom mistook him for Lemuel. Price, an escaped Wilmington murderer.

Widespread alarms were sent to nearby towns and, after a thorough scouring of the countryside by armed posses, Kenney was traced to the woods by bloodhounds. When caught he exhibited signs of insanity, it is said. F. E. Kelbaugh; t)wner of the Farmers and Planters' Hotel in this city, was notified of the" arrest of Kenney.

'Hagerstown, April 17 Gabriel Shipley, the well-known millionaire, tossed another pungent bucketful into the trough and, wiping his sweating forehead, exclaimed, "Ain't they a beautiful li'l bunch hawgs? Only paid 7.20 apiece for 'em, too vXo idle bif. of. fiction is; that sentence. No: romance An actual quotation printed, exactly as The Sex correspondent wrote it when he was able to pull out a wad of paper and a pencil without making people think he might be taking notes. And he wrote it exactly as Gabriel Shipley said it.

And Gabriel Shipley, at the moment he said it, presented the picture of a millionaire a millionaire engaged in the act of feeding pigs. What 1 sight for the sore eyes of the down trodden workingman a millionaire feeding pigs Gabe Is Lock Tender. You know Gabe, of course. He is the tender of the lock just above Dam No. 4 on the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, and he has just inherited $7,000,000 from his Ujoele Jimmy McCoy.

The most money he ever had seen in his life was the he got the first month they raised the pay of lock-tenders from $3-j a month. As a matter of sober fact he hasn't seen any more yet. And saddest of all he really doesn't give a hang whether he ever any more or not. Gabriel Shipley is a monument marking a stage in the world's evolution nothing less. Alladin tried to stand on both ears at once when the Geni first showed him the jewelry store window and told him the proprietor had gone home and left the door unlocked.

Little Tom Canty turned all the colors of. the rainbow when the Prince changed Hothes with him. Good men haTe fainted when long shots, on whose fleetness their future relationships with their fdiirts depended, came in first in the last race. All have acted as befitted the times and the manners in matters concerning cash, and all are historic figures. Sister Told Him Xews.

And when Gabriel Shipley got a letter from his sister, Sal Crone, in Washington, D. saying that Uncle "Jim" McCoy had left him $7,000,000 he deliberately reduced his hogs' supper portion of slop because he was afraid he might accidentally, in a sudden wave of generosity, give them more. In short, "Gabe" Shipley brought the Alladin idea up to 1920. The news having been given to the world last week that Gabriel Shipley had suddenly inherited $7,000,000. The Scn correspondent went up into Washington county to see what he looked like.

He also wanted to learn what "Gabe" proposed to do with such a vast fortune, what his reactions were, what ideas he had about spending it and so on. Everybody knows how it is when one wants to exercise one's imagination to the limit and stirrt up an exciting discussion, one says, what would you do if you had a million dollars?" Even that is a lot of fun when you have 110 chance in the world of getting a million dollars. How much more fun it would be discussing the matter with a man who was just about to wrap his bank book around $7.000.000 That was the idea in The Sux cor respondent's visit to Gabe Shipley, who lives about 12 miles outside of Hagerstown. And here is what Gabe thinks about it He thinks he will quit the lock-tending business Avithin 24 hours after he really gets the first installment of the $4,000,000. He thinks he will move away from fx.

iini.Bo Lv th ratiAi He thinks he will buy himself a little place in Hagersiown and settle down to a quiet life. And that's about all. Was Gating: Apple Pie. He in the kitchen, eating hot apple pie, when The Sun correspond-, ent. footsore and weary after a long tramp from the place where automobiles either stop or jump into the canal, arrived at his front door.

His wife, TTrilly, was in the kitchen, baking more hot apple pies. His daughter, Mrs. Frank Winters, and baby. Lois, were In the kitchen cleaning up hot apple pie crumbs. "In the places on the dining-room table not occupied by hot apple pie there was hot pork sausage made from the real pig and slabs of white, home-made bread und hock of ham.

(Notice to editor "Dining-room table" is correct. Yes, and it was in the kitchen.) Gabe and his wife. Urilly. and his daughter and everybody talked freely for publication Vvater on Jac Shipley, his son. came across the canal and talked freely.

Gabe had no secrets about himself or his fortune. The only thing he couldn't tell about it was where it was and when he was going" to get it. He hadn't heard a word since the letter from his sister Sal in Washington. was the most democratic millionaire The Sun correspondent ever had peen. And jolly? When the photographer said he want Gabe and his wife, Urilly, to pose for a picture, he said, 'tWhat, that ugly oF woman You don't want no picture of her Gabe being a man of immense wealth, The Sun correspondent crowded close when he leaned over the stove with one foot on the fender and, removing his corncob pipef whispered confidentially.

Priceless Recipe. "Ye Just take there is Something in the Volstead law about printing that sort of thing in the public press. But it sounded like a regular knockout to The Sun reporter. He has it all Written down. "I know a teller down the countrv a piece," wound up the old ii winter nn man, "that stayed drunk all winter on that.

Yes, sir, that a fact." Gabe has one great advantage over inost newly-made millionaires. His place is "very hard to reach. He couldn't be more deeply hidden in rural fastnesses if he were as chronic a millionaire as his comrade in sorrow, John D. Rockefeller. But he- has been properly discovered.

It was an accident. ''Yes," Gabe said, when they asked him if any lawyers had been to see him. "Yes, Alex HagnerNvas up this way. Man brought him up here by accident, he said. But that warn't no accident." From which it may be judged that folks will have a hard time attaching the Shipley millions to any South Carolina diamond mines or Highlandtown oil wells.

1 Almost we had forgotten to talk a bit about the source of the' Shipley millions. That was because Gabe Shipley was able to tell so little about them. Uncle Jim McCoy had gone away when he (Gabe) was only 10 jears old. he said. That was in 1859.

Some of the young bloods of Sharpsburg- had fixed up this wagon-train party and Uncle Jim had joined it and they had started out for California. Gold Clogged Aqueducts. "Everybody knows, of that there was so much gold out there in those days that it used to blow around in a strong wind and get in the food and everything.

Summerfield Methodist Episcopal Church, one of the quaintest and oldest wooden structures of the city, is beine torn down after an honorable career of n- 97 years, and in the immediate future a modern stone structure will supplant it on the old site, at Poplar Grove street and Harlem avenue. This old structure was built of Georgia pine in 1823, it is believed, though the church was not incorporated until 1837. At that time the section was far enough out to be on a circuit.

The old Summerfield Circuit was abolished only last year. The late Gen. John S. Barry was one of the corporate trustees, and Bishop Wilson was once pastor there, and his wife was a member when he married her. The capacity of the old structure was only 250 persons, while the congregation numbers about 325 and the Sunday-school has (500 members.

The new church will be of Port Deposit granite, and will cost 150,000, a large part of the expense being given from the Centenary Fund.
