SOOKNE SUES FOR SEPARATION Married Buffalo Ave. Druggist Last August, and He Is Cruel, She Says. BOTH HAD SEVERAL CHILDREN. "I Believe He Is Trying to Drive Me to My Grave," Avers Wife--Says Sookne Loves Another. Six months of quarreling have convinced Mrs.

Esther Sookne that her second matrimonial venture is a failure. She applied to Justice Kapper in the Supreme Court today for alimony and counsel fee pending trial of the suit for separation she has begun against her gist at 81 Buffalo avenue. His wife husband. 1. Morris Sookne, who is a drugsays he is rich and can easily afford to pay $30 a alimony and $500 to her lawyer, which she asks.

When the couple were married, on August 11 last, she had three children by a former marriage, and he increased the new family circle by bringing two children of his own by his first marriage. Immediately after the marriage, Mrs. Sookne charges in her affidavits, he began to be cruel. He ordered the grocer, butcher, baker and coal man not to deliver any goods to her, and through the recent bitter cold spell, she avers, she had a to sit in a cold apartment and heat it as best she could with oil lamps. He demanded her two diamond rings from her and when she refused to give them up he pointed a "huge" revolver at her head, she swears, and then the rings came off her fingers.

To cap the climax, she declares, he brought another woman to his home and told the wife she was his sweetheart. "I do believe he is deliberately trydrive me to my grave," the plaintiff states in the affidavit, and quotes a remark he is alleged to have made to the effect that when his wife is dead he will be able to live with his new love. That incident being absolutely the limit Mrs. Sookne left her husband and went to live at the home of her father, 430 Saratoga avenue. Mr.

Sookne, of course, denies that any of the things charged by his wife took place. It was said that the quarrel was over Mrs. Sookne's $4,000, which the druggist thought would be put into the business to improve it. CHINESE SMUGGLER HELD. Chung Koo Had Three Cans of Opium on Him.

The seizure of three cans of on a Chinese deckhand of the steamship Headley from Calcutta, now up at Pier 2, Bush's Docks, Tuesday night, has put the Federal authorities in possession of valuable information regarding the wholesale smuggling of the forbidden drug into this city for more than a year past. So much opium has been coming that the Government has redoubled its efforts to put a stop to the practice, and it was hinted today that a prosecution of the captain and officers of one of the steamers from which Chinese have been caught smuggling opium will shortly be begun. On the motion of Assistant ant United States District Attorney Samuel Reid, the Chinaman, Chung Koo, on whom the three cans of opium were found, was held in $1,500 bail for the Grand Jury. He was caught on the Bush Docks shortly after leaving the Headley on Tuesday night, and when searched by Customs Guards Mulvey and Kinkel the opium was discovered. Examination by the customs guards, it was learned today, led to the discovery that the opium was "cooked" on board ship, and after the raw, gummy mass had been refined to a state proper for smoking, was packed in small half-pound ting, in which shape it could easily be concealed up upon the person of anyone leaving the ship.

SLEUTHS HUNT FIREBUG. Sets Matches Ablaze in Crowded Tenement--Panic Follows. Detectives of the Hamilton avenue police station are looking for the persons who set fire to a mattress in the basement of a three-story brick tenement at 28 Carroll street early this morning. Fifteen families live in the building, which is in the midst of a thickly populated section. The occupants of the entire row of tenants took to the streets, and a number of policemen had to be summoned from the station houses to allay the fears of the Italians.

No one was injured and the flames were quickly extinguished by the firemen. ASKS $25,000 FOR DEATH.

FLOYD McCORMACK, Friday, March 20, at St. John the Evangelist Church, Twenty-first st, near Fifth av. I CHARGE ITALIAN POISONED WIFE Vincenzo di Miccele Arrested on Story Told by 9-YearOld Girl. SAW POWDER PUT IN SOUP. Was Trouble Over $15,000 Estate Willed by Wife to Children, Vincenzo di Miccele, a plasterer, was held by Magistrate McGuire, without bail, this morning, for forty -eight hours, on suspicion of homicide, for there is an allegation that he drugged some soup that his wire, Maria, ate at her home at 108 Navy street.

The woman died three hours afterward. The evidence against the man regarded as slender, but the case involves a will made by the dead woman for the disposal of about $15,000 worth of real estate. The main witness against the man, a nine-year-old girl, was not in court this morning, so Patrolman Herman Flechter, of the Oak street staThe principal witness, Michelina all Camtion, in Manhattan, made the affidavit. passi, was a daughter of the dead WOman by a former husband, and the policeman won made the arrest was the dead woman's son-in-law. The deceased was buried in the Holy Cross Cemetery on January 18, under a certificate from Coroner Senior which stated that she had died from endocarditis, which is an inflammation of the inner aorta, the big heart blood conduit.

Coroner Senior. had been but seventeen days a coroner when he gave the certificate, and he acted on the statement of his post mortem examiner, Dr. Reichers. The latter got his information from the physician who had been called in attendance on the woman at the time of her leath, but who refused to take the responsibility of giving a death certificate. When the policeman heard his little sister-in-law's story of the alleged poisoning he consulted Coroner Senior, who sent him to the District Attorney's office, and since then Assistant District Attorney Conway had been making an investigation.

Last night he ordered that the widower should be arrested, and Fiechter, with Detective Robertson, of the Adams street station, found the man at the corner of Houston street and the Bowery. He denied the charge, but it is likely that the body the dead woman will be exhumed, and an analysis of the intestines will be made before the District Attorney is ready to proceed with the prosecution, Child Saw Powder Put in Mother's Soup, She Says. The facts conveyed to Assistant District Attorney Conway, the homicide expert of office, were to the effect that the dead woman was the widow of Michael Compassi, a contractor, who was energetic and careful. When he died about seven years ago he left his real estate, consisting of the houses at 108 Navy street. where the family lived, and at 244 Tillary street, to his widow, unconditionally.

About two years ago Miccele, a plasterer, began to sue for the hand of the widow, who was 40 years of age at the time of her death, and she accepted him, and was married to him soon after an engagement. The woman was taking no risks, and five days after the wedding she made a will, in which, in the event of her death, she left all of her real estate to her four children by her first husband, for an equal division. Thus she cut off Miccele and his two boys by a former marriage. The will made all sorts of trouble between the pair, and as a result of constant bickerings the man left the house and took a room at 38 Stanton street, Manhattan. But he continued to visit the woman, who was comely, and every time he came to the house there was trouble.

His last visit, before the funeral of the woman, was on Sunday, January 17. Michelina Campassi, the youngest of the children by the former husband, was in the room when the table was set for supper and when pea soup, prepared by the mother, had been set out on the plates. While the woman was absent, Michelina says, the man took a powder in a paper from his pocket and sprinkled it in the soup. The powder was white, the girl avers. She did not say anything to her mother about it at the time, and soon after partaking of the soup the woman became ill.

Dr. Moyer was called in, but as the woman died in three hours he declined take the responsibility of certifying to the cause of death. He said that the symptoms indicated acute gastritis. When di Miccele was arrested, yesterday, the police searched the man's room and found a lot of medicine and in powders. They seized the drugs and they will be analyzed.

The accused, who is 40 years old, was held by Magistrate McGuire until Saturday, without bail, for a further hearing. SUFFRAGE MASS MEETING To Be Held in Erasmus Hall High School Tomorrow.

KLEM TOURED WORLD WITH INJURED CHEST National League Umpire Undergoes Successful Operation in Manhattan Sanitarium. GREAT NERVE, SAYS DOCTOR. Must Have Suffered Great Pain During Trip--Had Fractured Breastplate. Dr. W.

G. Frallek of 33 East Sixtieth street, Manhattan, who yesterday operated on Bill Klem, the National League umpire, in a private sanitarium across the Bridge, said today that the noted baseball arbiter was "doing splendidly" and would positively be BILL KLEM able to off ciate in the opening games of the diamond season. "Mr. showed remarkable nerve," Fralick, "in making Klem. the world's tour with the Giants and White Sox.

Several months ago, I do not know just when, the umpire was struck in the chest by a foul ball. He received a shattered shoulder blade, fractured breastplate and several fractured ribs. He must have suffered intense pain, and I can't understand why he did not consult a physician until the world's tour was ended. "It was necessary to remove several splintered bones, and Mr. Klem, because of his remarkably strong constitution, successfully underwent the operation and is recovering very much more rapidly that an ordinary man would have.

I am confident that he will start umpiring this spring in better condition than in several years. The operation will do him a world of good." Dr. Fralick was assisted yesterday by Dr. J. Hubley Schall of 119 St.

Mark's avenue, Brooklyn. AT EAGLE PARIS BUREAU. Eagle Bureau, 65 Rue Cambon. he Paris, March 19-The following registered here today: Eugene Bloch and George L. Schelling of Brooklyn, Lawrence Dinkelspiel of Manhattan.

FETHERSTON SATISFIED Denies That Snow Removal Men Shirked Work. Street Cleaning Commissioner Fetherston denied today that any of the men in his department had shirked their work in the snow removal of the last two storms. The Commissioner said that he had received the hearty cooperation of all the men under him, and that he was satisfied with the services they rendered. This statement refutes the stories that have been circulated that a large portion of the men in the snow removal work tried to discredit the administration of Commissioner Fetherston by resorting to unnecessary and creating a spirit rebellion delays the sweepers and drivers. Commissioner Fetherston is far from satisfied with the snow removal contract under which the work was done this year.

The cost was greater than for any previous year. The Commissioner estimates that a final appropriation of $100.000 will be necessary to settle all bills in full. This will bring the total cost up to $2,500,000. The highest cost, in any previous year, was 1910-1911, when the snow removal cost $1.406,000. Last year was probably the least expensive year for snow removal.

The bills aggregated only $249,000. COURT GUARDS WIFE'S ESTATE Won't Appoint Committee to Take Charge of Her Affairs. Justice Kelly in Part I of the Supreme Court frowned on an effort to have a woman declared mentally intion that would compel her husband to support her. This procedure came becompetent with to bringing aca fore him yesterday on the petition of Mrs. Katie Finck of 1335 Forty-ninth street, who alleged that her sister, Mrs.

Elizabeth Marks, who is more than 50 years of age, has lost her memory and has suffered for years from partial paralysis. Since 1912 Mrs. Marks has been in the Brunswick Home in Amityville, L. I. She was in court yesterday and a nurse escorted her to the stand, Justice Kelly asked her some questions, but she did not seem to comprehend even the reason why she was present and no testimony from her was available.

A physician from the Brunswick Home testified as to Mrs. Marks Physical condition, which, Justice Kelly said, was apparent, but there was no evidence as to her mental state. When a lawyer revealed that the real reason for the move was to have a mittee of her estate appointed so that her husband could be compelled to support her, Justice Kelly said: decline to submit the question to the jury. There has been no evidence presented 18 to this woman's mental condition. It seems that she has proprty worth $7,800, and if a committee were appointed the property would be taken from her and she would be worse off than she is now." STRAUS STAYS IN TRIBUNAL.

Washington, D. March 19-Oscar S. Straus of New York, a leading peace worker, has been appointed for his third term of six years as member of the permanent Hague Tribunal. It is probable that his first actual trial will occur during this term, as there is a controversy pending between Spain and Great Britain which will have to be settled. STEAMER SINKS SCHOONER.

Bremen, Germany, March 19-An unknown three-masted schooner was sunk and the whole of her crew drowned through a. collision last night in the North Sea with the North German Lloyd liner Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse, POLICE IN NOISY RAID ON WASHINGTON AVE. Clangs Patrol Gong as Descent Is Made on Alleged Disorderly House. THREE ARRESTS ARE MADE. Residence Near Fulton Street in Quiet Section Long Complained of, Residents on the quiet, old-fashioned block of Washington avenue, between Fulton street and Atlantic avenue, were awakened at 11 o'clock last night by the continuous clanging of a patrol wagon gong.

Site This was the way that Lieutenant McDonald, who has charge of the sleuth squad working for Third Deputy Commissioner Godley and Borough Inspector Dillon had of warning the neighbors that a raid on an alleged disorderly house, long complained of, was in progress. The late Police Surgeon Terry, the veteran and much beloved physician, had occupied the suspected house for years. It is one of the fine, old-fashtoned brownstone basement houses which were so popular in Brooklyn at one time. Dr. Charles H.

Terry died some years ago and his house was given out for rent. A stout woman, who might be 40, or 50, got possession of the place, and the neighbors did not like her looks. Nor did they like her callers, albeit there were many highclass looking men going there, and more men than women. The neighbors understood that the new tenant was Mrs. Mary McKenna, and some said that she was the widow of a former police sergeant, who had induced the police surgeon's heirs to sell her the place to run a boarding house.

After much observation complaints were made to the police; so the Brooklyn inspector, the deputy commissioner and the commissioner himself and Lieutenant McDonald began to lay plans to find out more about the place. They had two nice looking young policemen in plain clothes go there to buy wine, but in some way their business became known to Mrs. McKenna and nothing was sold. They were politely told to get out; that it was a boarding house and a perfectly respectable place. The borough inspector and Lieutenant McDonald waited and on Monday managed to get two more young policemen into the house.

They were so innocent looking and unsophisticated thot they confessed that they had really a nice time in the place, drinking pints of champagne at $. per pint. On the strength of what they saw they went before Chief Magistrate Kempner in his office in the Temple Bar building yesterday and made affidavits relating their experiences. The magistrate issued warrants for the arrest of the keeper of the place and two women, a negress maid and a person described as Kittie The affidavit of one of the policemen showed that he had spent $25 in the place within a very few hours. The raid was made last night under the direction of Borough Inspector Dillon and Lieutenant McDonald.

They borrowed an automobile patrol wagon from the Bergen street station for the purpose, and when the policemen had entered the house to make the raid McDonald said to the wagon driver: "Ring your gong for all you are worth. Keep ringing it SO that the neighbors will know that we are doing something." So the neighbors were all appraised, and looking out of their windows shouted their approval when Mrs. McKenna, Della Royster, the maid, and Catherine Levine were brought out and put in the wagon. The prisoners were taken to the Adams street station and this morning were arraigned before Magistrate Kempner. Mrs.

McKenna was charged with keeping a disorderly house and violating the liquor tax law by selling champagne without a license; the negrees was charged with violating the liquor tax law, and the young woman with being a disorderly person. Lawyer Frank X. McCaffry appeared for the three women before the Chief Magistrate this morning and pleaded not guilty in their behalf. Hearing was put over until Thursday next, and the women were released on furnishing $500 bail each. 'MURDER' CALL WAKES POLICE Reserves, Sleuths and Ambulance Jump on False Alarm.

Reserves from two police stationsVernon and Flushing avenues -together with two ambulances from the Swedish Hospital and five detectives were sent on the jump to the corner of DeKalb avenue and Walworth street today at 10:30 o'clock, after an excited voice had told Police Headquarters that two men had been murdered and another badly injured. The police arrived just as a crowd dispersing, and as it broke up, Detective O'Hara spied three men running down the street. On the sidewalks near a saloon at the corner another detective found blood stains, and as he darted into the cafe in search of the injured men, the other detectives gave chase to three running men. Down Sanford street the three men ran, and into a saloon owned by Thomas Da Davis. The detectives jumped into the room in time to see two of the three men beating the third.

All three were put under arrest. The men said they were Aaron Roach, 25, William Roach, 36, of 224 Skillman street, and Thomas Davis, proprietor of the saloon, and as they were being led to the other corner they told the story. Davis said he was tending bar in his place of business when the two brothers came in and demanded drinks without pay. He said he refused and the brothers went back of the bar and tried to assault him. In self-defence, he admitted, he drew a gun and pointed it at them.

They were frightened, and as they fell back he poked it into Aaron's eye, then dropped the gun and ran out of the door with the two Roach men after To the corner of Walworth street he ran and there they caught up and proceeded to beat him. He got away and ran for his own saloon, and it was the chase to that harbor that attracted the attention of the police. Aaron Roach was sent to the Swedish Hospital to be treated for a badly cut eye, and William WAS arrested charged with assault. Davis was also held on a charge of carrying dangerous weapons without a permit. DR.

SEXTON BRANDS MAN AS POORBOX Sees Him Loitering Near Receptacle, Finds Lock Broken, Calls Police. DENIES CHARGE AT STATION. Recognizes Sleuth in Court as Former Acquaintance--He Decides on Silence. Charged with robbing the poor box of St.

Peter's Roman Catholic Church, at Hicks and Warren streets, Joseph Beandry, 40 years old, of Mulberry street, was held in $1,000 bail for Court of Special Sessions by Magistrate Walsh, in the Butler street police court today. Beandry was arrested by Policeman Nelson of the Amity street station, on complaint of Achille Oliver of 114 Warren street, the sexton of the church. It was shortly after 8 o'clock today when the attention of the sexton was attracted to the man by his suspicious actions. Instead of being at devotions like the rest of the persons in the church, the man stayed in the rear of the hall, near the poor box. Suddenly the stillness of the church was broken by the falling of some heavy object.

Sexton Oliver, who was standing in one corner of the church, immediately went over toward the poor box and saw that the lock had been forced and was lying on the floor. At the same moment Beandry walked out of the church. The sexton followed him and after a short distance came across Policeman Nelson, who placed him under arrest. In the Butler street court the man was charged by the sexton with lawful entry. Magistrate Walsh asked him what his business was.

He replied that he was once a boilermaker, but that since he had lost a couple of fingers on his right hand he had become a song writer. He maintained that he could not have broken open the poor box on account of the crippled condition of his hand. He was about to produce a number of letters of recommendation from pursons testifying to his good character when he caught sight of Detective John Crowley, of the Butler street station, who happened to be in court on warrant duty. Crowley made a number of arrests last year in connection with the stealing of a pocketbook from a worshipper in St. Augustine's Church, on President street, near Sixth avenue, and Beandry was mixed up in the case.

The man at once declared that he had nothing to say and waived examination. BROOKLYN COURTS. COUNTY COURT. IV, Dike, March 20. Actions triable court without a jury: Vail: Ling R.

MONEY TO LOAN ON IMPROVED REAL ESTATE Owners or Brokers Make Application Direct to LAWYERS MORTGAGE CO. RICHARD M. HURD. President Capital and Surplus $8,750,000 59 New York 184 Muntoeng, Brooklyn MRS. MILLER GETS ALIMONY Judge Says That Her Case Is Weak, However.

Mrs. Clarissa Miller of 12 Louis place, who is suing her husband, George J. Miller, superintendent of the American Tract Society Building in Manhattan, for separation, was granted $8 a week alimony and $50 counsel fee today by Justice Blackmar, in the Supreme Court. The wife charged her husband. with cruelty, alleging he spat in her face and called her names, and Miller complained bitterly of a named Fred C.

Sprengel. The boarder, however, took Miller and his wife out, with the husband's permission, and Miller says that when he ordered it stopped because he could not afford to return the compliment, his wife still continued to go out with Mr. Sprengel. "Whether the wife is guilty of the misconduct charged in the husband's affidavit or whether he is suffering from groundless jealousy, cannot be determined on affidavits," said Justice Blackmar, in granting alimony. "The wife with her uncorroborated affidavit of cruelty makes out but a weak case for alimony and counsel fee, and her trip to Reno lends some weight to her husband's claims.

Nevertheless, the case ought to be decided, and it the wife should have something." pending Mrs. Miller took a trip to Reno last year, but a lawyer there told her the divorce would not be recognized in this State, so she came home. The Millers were married on May. 25, 1898, and have three children. POLICE RAID A HOTEL.
