The suit is that of John A. against tho partners of the firms of Clark, Childs of New York and the bankrupt Chandler Bros. fc of Philadelphia. Kilmore's suit Is for only $800, but it is important as a test of whether a customer of Chandler Bros.

Co. can collect from. Clark, Childs Co. There are nearly $4,000,000 customers' claims against tho defunct Chandler tlrm, though only a fraction of them are in tho KHmore category. Kil-more, as a Chandler customer, bought House Kcepen and Those Who Want to Keep House In New York todav thcte are young newly-weds "iivini; with the family," and more not so newly-weds hoarding or living in hotels than ever before! And the underlying reason for this is the dread of an overburdening expense in furnishing an apartment home.

The feeling seems to be "Once you start furnishing your own place, you're never through!" or "Aly, dear, we'd love our own apartment, but it's so ghastly expensive to furnish one we can't even contemplate it!"

Cambridge, Nov. 1 Prince, ton's football eleven, flushed wllh im possible victory over Chicago, swept into tho Harvard Stadium today and gobbled up another triumph which but 24 hours ago was rated the most forlorn of lost hopes. Outplayed, outrushed, outpassed, outpunted for most of the game, Princeton outfought and. most vital of all, oulscored the Ilaughton-Klsher football system and chalked upon the blackboard of glorious collegiate sport another lesson in courage vs.

Never in the' history of Princeton football was there such a wild cry of delirious triumph as that which spattered the November dusk when the reforoeNvaved his white shifted arms above the heads of grimy, panting, grinning Tiger football players and told the world tho game huh over.

from Destiny. Eaglo Bureau, 901 Colorado Bldg. By HEXRY SCYDAM. Washington, Nov. 1 1 Woodrow this afternoon, on the fourth anniversary of Armistice Day, made his, first political speech since leaving the White House on March 4, It21.

Although frail In Health but spaak-Ing a full resonant voice, he delivered moving plea for' the League of Nations. He deplored the failure of ITIls country to concur In the establishment of permanent peace, because of "a small group In the United States Sepate who preferred personal partisan motives to the honor of their country." JIo condemned a policy of expediency. He -characterized America's Absence from Geneva as an armistice that was mere negation. Within four days of a rountrv-wtde Democratic election, tn which Henry 'Cabot Lodge all but met defeat, Mr. 'Wilson threw down the League gaunt-Jet at the feet of President Harding's -administration with biting reference to "puny persons who are now stand- 4g in the way." Mr.

Wilson, as predicted in Thursday's Eagle, has thus revealed his Intense desire for vindication, his jealousy of 'public opinion, his complete absence of personal resignation. At the first available chance, he has thrust himself forward as spokesman or his party, In a Downing Street statement of most challenging character. It was recognized in Washington tonight that Mr. Wilson had finally emerged from his retirement to assume, as far as he is physically able, commanding powitlon in the leadership of the Democratic party. fhat he fully expects to have much to say about a Democratic candidate for 1924 is evidenced in a letter, dated Nov.

9. to Senator T. H. faraway of Arkansas. "We must How clear our minds and Uurify our hearts to offer to the coun-Ihy in 1924 exactly the service it most heeds and the candidate who can best render that service," Mr.

Wilson wrote, commenting on Tuesday's election. It was pointed out In The Eaglc'n Washington dispatches Thursday of this week, that Mr. Wilson would like to put himself forward again as a candidate. If the state of his health would permit. There la no question that Mr.

Wilson is in a fighting frame of mind. He has never accented Democratic dc feat in in 1920 as a fair test of League sentiment. He has never become rec- onciled to the repudiation of his work Ditierness toward Jienry uaooi iougo and other Senate "Irrcconcilables." Yet for two years he has maintained silence, giving President Harding a i fair chance to reveal hia policies and his program of accomplishment, and waiting until he could speak with at (Continued on-Page 4.)

11 Sensational developments in the divorco action tirought by Lewis W. Boynton of 1444 Putnam Brooklyn, against his wife, Kathcrine Boynton, came to light today in the arrest of Charles T. Clew-ley of. Providence', II. who is held on the charge of having accepted a bribe to testify falsely in tho action.

Clewley and his two companions, Francis McCarthy and Hugh McDonald Laird, also of Providence, were arrested at the Nelson House by Un-Aer-Sheriff Frank F. Abercrombie, on warrants sworn out by James E. kinson, of Elmhurst, L. Clewley told Wilkinson he was ready to tell the true story as Boynton had refused to "come across as agreed." Clewley said he had testified for: Boynton and would not dare go on the stand again but agreed for a consideration to go back to Providence and produce four men who would contradict the statements made by witnesses he had brought. Mr.

Wilkinson obtained a statement from Clewley and his companions that they had been brought here to testify falsely against the young woman. Ho (Clewley) showed Mr. Wilkinson a note for t7B0 which is purported to be signett by Boynton for "commissions" which he said were meant to cover the costs and remuneration for coming here and making a statement on which Boynton conld obtain a divorce from his wife. In the complaint, Frank Koehl, stepfather of Mrs. Boyotpn, also of Brooklyn, motorcar salesman, is named as co-respondent.

Clewley had testified that when Koehl and Mrs, Boynton went to Providence last spring to purchase, some secondhand cars Koehl introduced her as his wife.

II. 100 PERISH IN CHILE WHEN TIDAL WAVE SWEEPS PROVINCE Earthquake and Flood Wreck Copiapo and Surrounding Towns-Many Injured. Antofagasta, Chile, Nov.

11 By the Associated Press) Upwards of 100 persons were killed and many seriously injured by the earthquake, which overturned many buildings, early this morning in Copiapo, capital of the Province of Atacama. Tho first shocks were felt in Antofagasta City 'a few minutes before midnight last night. They were prolonged and very severe. The citizens were greatly alarmed and almost immediately the telegraphic lines that connect the north with the south were broken down. About 1:30 this morning a tidal wave inundated part of the city, flooding scores of buildings close to the beach.

Tho radio station was flooded, and the waters cut. away the radio machines, surging for more than a. mile over the dunes. Then shortly waters ebbed Beveral hundred yards. Alarms were sounded by the marl-time authorities, and firemen and workmen were called out to assist various craft from their dangerous position, save quantities of valuable goods stored in the customs house cellar and rescue, the occupants of threatened dwellings.

Dispatches from the Province of Atacama say that tho center of the earthquake was an area roughly defined by Copiapo. Ovalle iln the Province of Coquimljo). Yallcnor, Chanaral and San Fernando. Of these places so far. ng, is known Copiapo suffered most.

At Chanaral a great tidal wave swept over the commercial section of the city, wrecking the post office among other buildings. It is reported that tho city has been virtually abandoned by the residents. All the affected areas are badly in need of relief. Communication with Santiago. Valparaiso and Southern Chile is interrupted.

SOI assessed SRainsI them for the installation of the Clapson ave. sever, is the cff'ct of a decision handed down yesterday by C. Cropsey in Supreme Court. The decision Is the answer to the suit brought by Fred A. Lchniaiin, of Mcdonough for a inandaiiiu to compel the Hoard of Estimate and the tax collectors of Ihe city to live up to a resolution passed by the Roar wnien loon two-thirds of I he assess ment from Ihe property owners In the original assessment area and saddled II on the city.

The resolution passed few weeks before the election of last year, but later it was repudiated by Controller Cinlg. The Hoard's resolution was based on a long petit Ion, containing many thousands of names, and the Board assumed, for some reason best known Us various members', that the petition contained enough names lo make it a valid, enforceable document. Some 'months utter election, when property owners, apprised of the passage of tire resolution, sought to offer (he nrroars collector in Ihe tax department, one-lhlrd of the amount of their assessment bills, they were blandly Informed that the collectors had "no nfllolal knowledge" of the actum laketi by the Board of Ks-timat'j. Air. Lcbmann was among those who offered to pay the reduced amount and he brought' Ihe action lir behalf of himself and lot of other property owners.

Craig's Poslllon Outlined. The position taken by Controller Craig hen Ihe matter came before rustico Cropsey that the petition did not contain nearly enough names or represent sufficient of the total properly assessed, and that the Board's resolution was therefore without avail and effect, Inasmuch an It could, under the law, rest on no other foundation. Cropsey (lien gave Controller Craig time to investigate ihe petilion, and it was reported to ihe court that the document contained only S.334 names of Individual owners of property, nol even basis fur ar-gupient as to- the sufficiency of the legal requirements 0f the petition. These properly owners held property assesse.l only ut $578. 88B.2S -about one-iifth of the total assessment thai was levied against 13,380 separate and distinct parcels of assessable prop, erty, and certainly nowhere near the 'majority" petition required by the plain wording of die law.

In passing on the question of law which necessitated the denial of the petition Justice Cropsey said; I pholils Craig Contention. "The Conl roller and other city officials contend the Board of Estimate iini no power to reconsider Its first determination because the petition which was presented, seeking a reconsideration, was not signed by the requisite number of propertv owners. And paper are presented showing lhat, Ihls contention Is correct. The law requires Ihe petilion to he signed by a majority of the properly owners, but this petition is signed only by a little over one-quarler of Ihe properly owners und lacks at least 7,000 Ktgnuliirca of the requisite number. And the assessments upon the properties of those who did sign the petilion total about oiio-llfth of the entire assessment levied on the properly owners.

The petitioner In this proceeding does not dispute the foreeolng facts, but contend the reconsidered action of (he Board or Kslimato Is effective notwithstanding. i.m inis contention j.s unsound. Section 430 of (lie Charter provides that tho Board of Estimate shall determine the portion of the assessment, if any, to be paid by the city, and the proportion to be borne by (lie property benefited, and that such determination, 'after it, shall have been made and announced, shall lie final, and such determination or decision shall not be reopened or reconsidered by said Then follows the exception already mentioned that upon tho petition of -a majority of the property owners a reconsideration may he had within six mniillm K'n matter what the power of the Hoard of Kstimale might he, tho absence 1 oi special statutory provision to re. consider action taken by it, it plainly had no right tr; reconsider ils Original decision in this matter be. cause the statute expressly forbids it.

That decision was made final by the language of the statute which' prohibited tho determination being 're. opened or Hoard Had Power To Ftei'oiisidcr. "The Hoard of Kstlinatc, lliereror-had no power to reconsider its previous ate.ion except as that was given by a statutory provision. Tt was the same as though no petilion nt all bad been (lied, and the express prohibition of a reconsideration was controlling. Here the Hoard of Estimate had no Jurisdiction because Ils righl to act at all was expressly prohlliHed except upon the presentation of a proper petition, and that was not done.

It follows that the application must be denied." SAYS TURKEY SHOULD RETAIL 15C. A POUND LESS THAN IN 1921 i i Turkeys will lie 10 to cents per pound cheaper for this Thanksgi'. ing than they were a year ago, according to P. q. Foy, food expert and rdihc' of the Jjaily Market Keport.
