KNOWN AS MISS SKIDMORE.

But When Husband Came Sown With Pneumonia, She Was Compelled to Publish Fact. MAr.niKn-nrt. hk.nrt j. koht.mavn' to VHOKMK EDNA HK tHMORE September 4. by the Rev.

Wni. at 475 Pacific X. Y. Can a young doctor build up a better practice as an unmarried man, or will he gain more patients If he is known to be married? Here is a question which may have occurred to many a physician when he was starting out and opening an office of his own. Should j'oting doctors consider a wife, a hindrance or a helpmate, or should they look at the question in such a way at all? It Is a safe bet that most young doetors, once they have fallen in love, do not think at all of these matters, but get married as soon as they can, and let ihe Lord provide afterward.

How ever SUpp0ae a young doctor Is already blessod with a wife, the light of his life, should he hide his light under a bushel or let her shine before men? Young Dr. Henry J. Kohlinann of -D32 State street has faced all these questions and answered them to his own satisfaction, but apparently not to the entire satisfaction of the young woman in the case. Yet she has keot silent for more lhan three years, and only comes out with the story now because she has been requested to stay away from the house where he is confined to his bed with pneumonia. Miss Phoebe Edna Skidmore, as she Is known to most of her friends, is a very graceful, tall young woman with blue eyes and a very charming manner.

She lives- with her parents at 823A Greene avenue, opposite the Greene Avenue Baptist Church, which she attends, although she is a member of the Hendrlx Street Baptist Church In Eaat New York. Some seven or eight yearB ago according to her friends, who are determined that everything should be known, she mat young Kohlmann at.an affair at the Baptist Temple. He whs then a student at Erasmus Hall High School. The friendship that began at their meeting soon ripened into love, and while he was still pursuing his studies at the Long Island College Hospital, where he entered after graduating from JErasmus, they were married by the Rev. William H.

Lawall. a Lutheran minister, at tils home, 475 Pacific street, near Kohlitiann'3 home. The parents of the young couple on both sides knew of their "marriage, as did close friends of both the bride ud the bridegroom, although no public announcement was mado of the ceremony at the time. It Is said that Kohlmaiin's friends thought that it would be umviso to announce the fact of his marriage before he began to practice, and to this view, the young bride agreed. After his graduation in June, 1907, from tho medical school, Kohlmann spent a year at St.

Vincent's Hospital In. the Eastern District as an Interne. At the end Of his year In the hospital he went back to live with li'S parents In the State street house and opened his office there. Slill, the Idea seemed to prevail that he 'would get along- better irt his chosen profession if tho public unaware of the fact that he was a mt rried man, and he stayed in his office 1 nd his wife stayed in the brownstone house on Greene avenue, and the whole cvrlo us and gossipy world went Its way anr took no particular notice of cither one cf them. The fwo witnesses to the marriage.

-Mr. and Mrs. H. G. I'etorkln, who might havo told had they lived in the neighborhood, very fortuna tely it w.w touglit, resided at 69 Bennington avenue, Morris Park, and.

of course, no one in Morris Park would ever want to summon a doctor from State street, Brooklyn. So everything was safo in that qua-tor. The young wife put up with her lonll-ness without a murmur, believing that It was "best for dear Harry's career, you know," until dead Harry himself came down with pneumonia. Then her wifely iustlnct asserted itself, and she was constantly going lo see him. A' few day3 ago sne was ln the room when his attending pnysiciu.f called, and she was requested to leave, as the doctor might think it stavnge If she stayed.

She did not want to leav-, but she went, like a dutiful wile and Qhe was then requested to pay less frequent visits, as th'j neighbors might suspect Mnh: thing, and at that she was almost broken hearted. She went to see the attending pnysiclati to find out how her husband was progressing, and at last told him her story. Ho advised her by all means to make the facts public, and insert a notice in the newspapers. Her friends, learning of tho treatment, strong-advised tho same thing, and to-day she sent a notice to the Eagle. A reporter telephoned to thn State-street house to find out something about it from his family, and the following conversation ensued: "Is Mrs.

Kohlman in?" "You mean Mr3. Kohlinan, senior?" "Yes." "No. she is not In." "Is Mr. Kohlman, In?" "No, he is at his ploce of business." "It would not be possible to see Dr. Kohlman?" "No, he is in bed with nneumonla." "Are you a trm-hcr nf the Yes.

"You said this morning." said M. In- tyre, 'that defendant said to you. i 'Keep off. keep oil. or I will kill I Are von sure that he old not say.

"When you heard the first shot, what did you do?" "I Bfonnprl 'l" stepped forward, and 1 heard the words, 'Keep back, keep Dach. "Who spoke those words?" "Thornton Hains. I started toward the clubhouse then." "How many shots did you hear shot.

I could not say positively. My best recollection is that there were six shots.

Mr.

Mclntyre then took the witness In hands and wanted to know if he did not read the testimony of Funke in regard to Captain Hains putting his arm on the boom of Annis' sail and saying "Anats, Annis." The witness admitted reading the newspaper reports of the trial and talking to witnesses. "Do you know West's pool room on Main street, Flushing?" "Arid did you not say that you wished vou could get out of this case?" Mr. Darrin objected. The witness could not remember who was in the poolroom at the time. He remembered, however, having displayed a number of subpenas In the case before the bar.

It was said to-day that the prosecutor will lay considerable importance on the style of the revolver and holder that the Hains brothers possessed at the time of the homicide. Thev Indicated that an ox- pert gunsmith will tell the jury that the revolvers are of the Western type and of the sort, that would be carried only by persons intending to discharge them i without a minute's notice. The witness Leavitt was one of the actors in an ex- hlbitton given at tne laeni uuo m-rauj for the benefit of District Attorney Dar- rln. "Who represented Captain Ilalno?" continued Mclntyre, addressing the witness. "1 don't remember." "Was not a monkey wrench used, Instead of a revolver?" "I can't say." said the witness.

At this time Mr. a sarcastic remark to Mr. Darrin arid 'the pc tiple In the court room laughed. Judge. Crane rapped fbr order and said to those who had laughed: "You' oustht-to know better than that.

Plan Is to Separate Consumptive Persons From Others Public Build-' Ings Tackled First. There was on official hunt for microbes ln the Register's office this morning. Major Ebstein, the deputy register, said thnt he did not know If the chase was to be general throughout ihe other public offices In the city, but he had an impression that the health inspectors would not Oo partial In Ihe matter and that there would be, for days and days nnd days, a continuanoo of the pursuit. The bacilli of tuberculosis were what the doctois were after; the white plague was to be Btamped out, no matter what the expense, and this was one of the ways of getting at it. The major did not know if there was to be a fumigation of the books and reserds; or a general massacre by the meant! of sunlight of the myriads of Daclll! In-the rimes on (he big shelves, but he did know that every one of H19 employes, the girls who typewrite in lh Dooks, the topographical draughtsmen who draw the maps' and block outlines, the copyists cf all classes and the men higher up were to undergo an examination.

It is understood that In every one of the city offices' there is to be an Inspection in a medical and scientific way. Tho county clerk's folks will come: next, and Colonel Ehlers, while he had not heard of the project, said this afternoon that he would welcome it. Ho was not afraid as far as he was concerned of any examination, for he felt that he was In pretty good shape, financially and physically, but he though! it would do good. The plan, as the folks In the Register's office understand It, Is to tie a separation of those who are In the slightest way affected ty tuberculosis from the healthy people." And this will be done in the other departments. It is hinted.

As a matter of fact, some of the poople in the Register's office had been suffering from conditions which made their, stay In sanitaria for a week or two at a time a necessity.

LEGAL AID SOCIETY! Brooklyn Office Will Be Closed When Lease Terminates, Say Officers.

HANDLES 350 CASES A MONTH, Cost $2,000 a Year More Than It Received Public Took No Interest in It. At the meeting of the directors of the Legal Aid Society, held at the office of Arthur V. the president, 25 Broad street. last week, it was decided to discontinue the Brooklyn branch of the society, located at 186 Remsen street. This action was taken after long consideration and only afler the most persistent efforts to secure thfl monrv to keep the branch in operation had failed.

It is said that with one or two exceptions, the Itable people of Brooklyn have given most no support to the work of the in thin boroush. When the society was first thinking of opening a branch office here to take pim nt thn orrpat number of cases which develop in Brooklyn and so save the poor clients of the society from the ex- peuse and the time necessary for a trip tn the main office at 233 Broadway, Manhattan, Louis Steuber of the Keller Printing Company a man of broad charities, who is greatly Interested in settlement work, offered to guarantee the expenses of the society for two-years, or until it had proved its worth and convenience to the people of Brooklyn. It was thought that after a year or two, Brook-lynites of means, becoming acquainted with the aid afforded to poor people who had been cheated or wronged and who could not afford to retain a lawyer to bring suit for the small amounts Involved would come lo the help of the society and put the Brooklyn Branch on a sound basis. But apparently no other person of large means has been willing to donate the comparatively small sum required to meet the expenses of the Brooklyn office. Since th'3 branch was opened It has cared for more than 6.000 poor and worthy persons who were In need of legal aid, advice and assistance.

In the quarter ended September, 1908, Brooklyn branch aided 93S applicants of all nationalities, In practically every sort of difficulty. The largest number of cases were those for wages withheld by employers and fl.8SS.85 was recovered In the three months and their fees, which are merely nominal, amountetd to $244.56. The resolution adopted by the directors of the society was drawn up by the committee in charge of the Brooklyn branch and reads as follows: "Whereas, The reports submitted by the auditor of the Brooklyn branch of the Legal Aid Society show that the donations from January 1 to December 9, 1908, amount to $1,441.08. and the fees collected to the same period amount to $888.01, making a total of and. whereas, the total expenditures for the year 1908.

based on eleven months actual expenditures, and one month estimated, equal $3,643.57, and whereas, the proposed budeet for 1909 calls for a total of and whereas, there Is no evidence of more liberal support from the people of Brooklyn for the coming year than there was for the past year; and wherens. there Is no one to Euurnniee the deficit for the comine year, as nas case for the last two years: and whereas, in all prooaoiuty tnecj win (if a deficit in this branch for the coming ar, as iion ay nearly and whereas, it Is believed that work now done at the urooKiyn branch can be done at 'the main office at half the dost; therefore, be it "Resolved, That this committee recommends to the board of directors of the t.csal Aid Society that the uroooKiyu jjranch be discontinued as a separate branch, and thnt all the work of the branch be transferred to the main office Artnur v. di macii, Local Aid Society, said to-day that tne action of the directorn was not neces-sarllv final. It will take effect as soon as the lease on the offices in the building at ISA Remsen Btreet terminates, union some philanthropic person or per- sons will donate sufllcient funds to carry ion tho work, he said.
