Hamlet Caused Social Uproar Continued from Page'1 Da Tumulty Defends Hamlet The dog is terrifying to behold. Mrs. "Chip" Roberts. Mrs. Roberts being the gorgeous "Eve," whose first husband was Fielding 8.

Robinson of Hempstead, L. Marine World War hero and one time White House aide. The Roberts and the Morgans have just about replaced Sissy Patterson, Alice Longworth and Mrs. J. Borden Harriman in the social uproar of Washington.

The Morgans gave a costume ball the other night that made the Sunday rotogravures the country around. Evle went as glamorous Spanish girl, Chip As toreador and they dug up a friend who was willing to disguise himself as a mad bull. The act was a riot. Time was when Mrs. Longworth would drop an alleged pearl of wisdom or wit at a dinner party and all Washington would be agog.

"Sissy" Patterson engaged her in a social feud and Dolly Gann was dragged in for one of the prize events of all time. Now the whole town is in an uproar over the sad fate which has befallen Mrs. Morgan's melancholy neighbors, all upper social crust, got up a petition and the animal was dragged into court. Mrs. Morgan employed Joseph Tumulty as defense counsel.

Mr. Tumulty as colse as anyone to the late Woodrow Wilson and assisted in the running of the Government when the martyred President was stricken in the White House. "Evie" went along as a character witness. She and other friends of the Morgans testified that the dog was absolutely harmless. The judge asked a prosecution witness if the Dane had ever nipped a human being, and the witness replied that she, with all due modesty, regarded herself as a human, She said he had.

Front page pictures, long quotations from the testimony and finally a picture of the Morgan butler sticking his head in the dog's followed. If the butler was decapitated, he got no mention in the obituary columns. Mrs. Patterson, owner of the ultra town house on Dupont Circle with the marble halls and the stiff butlers appears to be working hard on the mechanics of getting out a newspaper. She is managing editor of William Randolph Hearst's Washington Herald, but she no longer pens front page editorials and when she is asked to comment on the sort of public event which used to be her dish, she de- clines.

Morgan Parties Most Popular Time was when socialites tripped over each other's trains in an effort to get invitations to the Georgetown house of Mrs. Longrather attend the parties thrown by worth. Now, it seems, they would a the Roberts' and the Morgans. Mrs. Harriman was absent from the newspapers for some months, but reappeared when she WAS handed a ticket for exceeding the speed limit, a very usual occurrence here, where the cops ignore recklessness such as bowling over lamposts and mounting the sidewalk, but get out their pads and pencils the minute a driver exceeds the limit by a mile an hour, Mrs.

Harriman has also broken into print as a member of a subcommittee of the committee on arrangements for the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia next June. She and two others are on the subcommittee for clergymen, which means they will select parsons to offer prayer that the right nominees may be chosen and the right platform adopted. Roberts Met at Wedding Mrs. Roberts, As Miss Evelyn Walker, married Fielding Robinson in August of 1933 at Southampton, where they had both been attending the last wedding of the late Col. H.

H. Rogers. Mrs. Robinson arried in Reno in May of 1934. She married Roberts, then an Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, in Octo1935.

The first Mrs. Roberts, after celebrating her 25th anniversary in Washington in the early part of 1935, went to Reno in the late Summer. Mrs. Morgan was Mrs. Sarah Jackson Conley of Concord, N.

the daughter of Robert Jackson, who was secretary of the national committee. Morgan became secretary of the committee and the husband of Mrs. Conley in a DecemberMay romance. Maurice E. Stack Funeral Tomorrow A requiem mass will be offered for Maurice E.

Drukman Case Family Tangle Continued from Page 1 ham Drukman first took the stand he explained his former affection for the defendant, Harry Luckman, by saying he always had referred to him as "Harryele," the Yiddish term of endearment for Harry.

To Call Other Kin Luckman. Ike Luckman Sought He then proceeded to relate how his son had told him he had an appointment with Harry at 6 p.m. on March 3, last, only an hour a half before Sam's battered and strangled body was found in the Luckman Brothers' garage. He said Sam had talked of going into the trucking business in partnership with Harry. Other members of the Luckman family who have been summoned by the prosecution to appear at the trial include Abe Luckman, brother of Meyer, and Morris, cousin of Meyer, Morris was indicted for the murder by the November Grand Jury but was later discharged.

It was in the rumble seat of his car that Drukman's body was found. Mrs Ethel Luckman was one of the extraordinary Grand Jury witnesses whose name appears on the back of the indictment, as was Mrs. Bertha The mysterious Mrs. Dora Kantor, who finally was located after a search of several months and may be put on the stand, is related to both the Drukmans and the Luckmans. Mrs.

Anna Luckman, whose fainting spells seriously interferred with her testimony before the Grand Jury, is the wife of Ike Luckman, brother and business partner of Meyer, Ike, who is believed to be in the South, has sought by Prosecutor Tod for questioning. Yesterday's session closed with the story of Patrolman Stahl, who lives at 34-44 42d Astoria, and was one of the first' to reach the murder scene in the garage at White and Moore Sts. His testimony conformed with that of Detective John P. McAuliffe, who preceded him on the stand. Stahl said the first person he saw upon entering the garage was Fred Hull.

There was blood on his hands and shoes, he said. Justice Rogers announced last night that he would sit late every day in order to speed the trial along as much as possible for the benefit of the 14 Blue Ribbon Jurors who are being kept under lock and key at the Towers Hotel throughout the trial. even larger crowd than on Monday gathered yesterday to try and get inside the courtroom for a about glimpse of the proceedings. Only 150 were allowed Inside, among them a number of women. Several policemen were stationed outside door to the others from congregating there.

Stricken with peritonitis following intestinal influenza, the veteran champion of bi-metalism, foe of modern finance and one-time, presidential candidate of Liberty Party succumbed late last night at his Ozark Mountain home here. Harvey achieved nationwide attention on several occasions, but reached his peak during decades just before and after the turn of the 20th century. A book, "Coin's Financial School" published in 1894, was widely read. About the same time he drafted the "16 to 1" plank as chairman of the Ways and Means committee of the Democratic party and he later campaigned with William Jennings Bryan against McKinley.

The gas tax proposals are due for a raking attack, however, if storm warnings hoisted at last week's hearing on the budget are any indication. Hit Lehman Practice The 2-cent emergency levy, the extension of which is at issue. is in addition to a fixed 2-cent gasoline which makes the total tax 4 cents. The penny FedState eral tax brings it to 5 cents.

Spokesmen for the automobile groups will shoot at Governor Lehman's practice of using revenues colleoted from motorists for the ordinary expenses of the State Government. They contend this violates a provision in the gasoline tax and motor vehicle traffic laws which say such revenues "shall be appropriated and used for the construction and reconstruction and maintenance and repair of highways and bridges under the direction the Superintendent of Public Works." During the last four years a total of $193,000,000 has been diverted from motor vehicle funds to uses other than those specified in this provision, according to one critic of the Lehman policy. While taxes on motorists have been hiked $26,000,000 a year in the course of the last four years, the State is not contributing any more money to the counties, and the City of New York, H. Preston, representing the Syracuse Automobile Club, said. He asserted the burden of balancing the budget should not be loaded onto the shoulders of the motorists while highways are being permitted to fall into disrepair.

Lincoln's Secret Visit Here In '62 to Beecher Revealed Continued from Page 1 and manner, first told the story a few weeks ago to James K. Flack of 87 Columbia Heights, himself a layman-student of the emancipator President. The present pastor of Plymouth Church spends much of his time in a study that is permeated its oak-paneled walls with the spirit of cozy scholasticism. As this reporter listened to the newest and one of the finest of the important bits of Lincolniana he was thrilled at the dramatic grace with which the elderly clergyman told the story of Lincoln and Dr. Beecher.

Lincoln His Ideal Dr. Durkee said "Lincoln is my ideal. Through the years I have thought him to be a beautiful example of what man may be. I have read everything possible about him. I have talked with men who saw him when he was here.

And I am sure, now, that Lincoln did visit Brooklyn alone. "I am sure that he came to find solace in prayer with Dr. Beecher, whom he considered the greatest spiritual adviser in the land. I am sure that he came without letting any one in Brooklyn, even Dr. Beecher, know that he was coming.

And I am sure that Mrs. Beecher herself did not know who it was that she was admitting when she answered a knock at the door." Tells of Unexpected Visit According to Dr. Durkee, Mrs. Beecher was at home at 124 Columbia Heights at about 9 one evening in December, 1862, when she heard some one at the front door. At that time there were many people so bitter toward Beecher and his extreme anti-South attitude that she was nervous every time some one sought entrance.

When opened the door she was definitely afraid. For there, according Dr. Durkee, "stood 8 man who was muffled in such 8 manner that his face could not be seen. The man asked to see Dr. Beecher.

The visitor was very tall and he was obviously trying to hide his face." As he told the story Dr Durkee's eyes were lighted with the gleam of M'Farland Off to Death Thomas McFarland, 38. is shown leaving Brooklyn on his way to Sing Sing to die for the murder of Miss Florence McVey, 17, and Mrs. Nora Kelly, 68, of 360 Marine Ave. a great reporter who has run across something that is important. He interjected a statement to the elfect that his research has been based not only on the direct testimony of the late William Beecher, but, as well, on the statements of others who were alive and on Brooklyn Heights in 1862.

Dr. Durkee went on to say that as the tall, ominous figure waited at the door, the understandably worried Mrs. Beecher climbed one flight of stairs to the preacher's study on the second floor. She said that there was some one downstairs who wanted to see him. And, according to Dr, Durkee, "Dr.

Beecher immediately ran down and ushered the stranger into the study." Describes Wife's Worry Mrs. Beecher returned to the parlor on the main-entrance floor and remained there until about midnight, still worried. But, listening, she heard only modulated voices and so she forgot the matter for three hours. But, at about midnight, she listened attentively again and this time she could hear nothing. She crept quietly upstairs, according to Dr.

Durkee, and went to the study door. There she could hear one low voice, the voice of her husband. Once again, strangely alarmed, she opened the door just a crack. And there, before her, obvious to her interest or the interest of the nation, was the President of the United States, on his knees, with her husband, who was also on his knees. Mrs.

Beecher, according, to Dr. Durkee, recognized Lincoln then. Still unheard, she closed the returned to the parlor. Left at 3 A.M. Dr.

Durkee says that it was not until three in the morning that Mrs. Beecher heard another sound. At 3 she heard the study door open and heard steps down the stairs. Through the parlor entrance she saw the great, gaunt, muffled figure move to the front door. Lincoln was walking out, alone, into the silence of early morning on Brooklyn Heights.

The present pastor of Plymouth does not know what happened then. But he believes that "from what is established in my mind, as I have so far related, it is likely that some of the unestablished legend -the part about Lincoln staying one night at the old Mansion House--is true. It 'Is likely that he went to the old hotel on Hicks near Clark, and spent the night. It is possible that he stayed through Saturday and left after visiting Plymouth Church on Sunday morning incognito." Other Stories Recalled Whether or not that is true, many very old people on the Heights today recall stories of Lincoln walking into Plymouth Church alone during the war, and taking a seat in the balcony some minutes after a morning service had started. That legend is based on the statement of a Plymouth usher, who said afterwards that the President, realizing he was recognized, asked that the usher keep his presence a secret at least for the day.

But about that the present pastor of Plymouth, always an accurate reporter, will vouchsafe nothing. He is willing only to say that he is sure Lincoln met and prayed with Beecher until 3 in the morning.
