Nemesis, which pursued relentless every leader of the 520-per-cent. syndi cate that once swindled its investor! out of almost $1,000,000, has struck again at William F. Miller. This former king of get-rich-qulck men will appear in about two or three weeks in the Supreme Court at Mlneola as defendant In a suit for brought by his brother-in-law, Charles Schmidt, who accuses him of alienating the affections of his wife.

"WASTE OF $88,000 IN STORM SEWER" Coney Island People Continue Protest Against $1,000,000 Assessment. The hearing of the prolest by I he taxpayers Coney Island before Die was continued today. A lively tilt between William C.

Orinond. Brooklyn member of the Board of Assessors, and Edmund J. Tlnsdaie, counsel for the taxpayers, resulted from the evidence furnished by Francis P. Gallagher, chief witness for the objectors today Mr. Gallagher testified that the storm sewers that have their outlets in the ocean opposite West Thirty-second and West Twenty-third streets, were built at an excess cost of $88,000.

In view of the fact that by running them over to Gravesend Bay and the Coney Island Creek that amount could have been saved. It was brought out by Mr. Tinsdalc that Mr. Ormond had said that there were lots along the north side of Neptune avenue which would have prevented running the two ocean outlets through the Neptune avenue bulkhead. However, tho city engineers had seen their way clear to penult the other four outlets of tho storm sewer system to eniply into the creek in spite of the lots.

In fact, one of the outlets Into the creek was discharging the screenings from the disposal plant. Another point lo be taken into consideration was that the lots in question were under twenty-four feet of water. Mr. Ormond said that the question of the outlets Into Gravesend Bay and Coney Island Creek was a matter for the engineers. Mr.

Gallagher, continuing, said that in his opinion the ocean outlets had broken. The sand bed was being constantly washed up by the waves. Also, that sand would till up the pipes and render them useless. "That could he easily remedied." said Mr. Ormond, "Tho contractors could be held for any defoct in con-Mr.

Callagher thought that was not the point. The island was being assessed $1.0011,000 for a sewer, and at that price it should work.
