Service Director Opposes Oil Treatment as Injurious To Paving, Plans to rebuild Forest avenue from Hjorwood avenue to Highland were dropped by the Norwood City Council last night, when petitions piotestlng against the excessive cost of the proposed improvement were received by Council. After citizens had complained about tho condition of the street, Council prepared to repave the streets with granite block the cost to be divided between the property owners and the city on an equal basis.

Councilman Albert Kllis told Council at Its meeting, April 6, that property owners on the street would object to the expense -of repaying It. with granite block. He was appointed a committee to interview residents on the street. Council proposed to repave the street with the heavy block because a poition of the street Is on a steep, grade and ordinary paving materials will not hold, it was claimed. In the petition presented to Council, lust night, the residents alleged that the present condition of the street was due to the city's neglec and that they believed that the citv should puy fur repairing the Petitions were received requesting the' paving of Section avenue fAiin Lawn avenue to Dale road with bituminous macadam.

To aid In obtaining signatures to petitions for an extra tax levy, the Chamber of Commerce yesterday notified the Municipal Emergency Ilellef Committee that letters will be sent to every manufacturing plant and retail business establishment, urging that empljyoos be requested to sign the petitions.

At the meeting of the com. mittee Solomon H. Freiberg, Chairman, was told that, while some of the wards have returned 100 per cent signatures, the work of circulating the petitions in other ward has lagged because of a luck of workers. It was stated that 78,000 signatures will bo required, but Judge Frederick Hoffman stressed that unless greater activity is shown probably not more than 50,000 will be obtained. Appi-jximately GOO workers are in fiie field, but twice that number is required If the efforts of the committee to put the levy over are to be successful.

Only in a few instances bale the solicitors met witli refusal, it wus staled, and the indications are that the required number of signatures oun be obtained if the voters are solicited. In a statement Issued Monday Mr. Fioiberg emphasized that unless the extra tax levy is successful tfie will be compelled to impose a. nuisance tax for tho collection of gai huge, ashes and street clelaning, or cause wholesale dismissals from the service ill the principal departments of the municipal government, since the city will be without funds alter Scptemoc-r 1.

New York. April 30 The $3,000,000 art collection bequeathed by Senator William A. Clark to the Metropolitan Museum of Art on condition It be ac cepted as a whole and exhibited as an entity, was declined today by the Board of Trustees of the Museum.

The one-sentence resolution adopted u-anlmouHly by the 14 Trustees present, stating that the museum "is con strained to decline the gift under the I conditions stated." adds "but will gladly accept many of the objects Included in the gift if these conditions can be changed." Apparently the heterogeneous collection, as a whole, would not be accepted under any circumstances. Clark's ivi'ii sets forth that in the event of a refusal by the Metropolitan Museum to -accept his collection It is to be offered to the Corcoran Gallery of Art, Washington, I. C. Announcement was made recently in Washington that the Corcoran Gallery would accept. In turning- down the Clark collection, which now is in his house in New York, Trustees of the Metropolitan Museum established a precedent.

It is the first gift of magnitude that has been refused, although it is also the first bequest so tied up without conference between tho Trustees and the donor. Heretofore persons who colitemplate.d a bequest to the museum have talked over the matter with the Trustees and reached an agreement.

Hoffman, in lx.inesti.-. Relations Court, yesterday, during the hearing of her suit far a divorce from Hop- kins, that, he had runsferi-od his love to the girl from C.ernuiny. Mrs. Hopkins testified that her cousin, Julia Matt, arrived from Cer ium ny August 31. and after she came to live with them she noticed a difference in her husband's attitude, They had been married 11 year, she said, and nothing had come between tlietu before, but after she hud boon ill and forced to go to a hospital she discovered the great change upon Ut return homo.

Her husband seemed to pay much attention to the young German girl, and he. refused to go out anywhere unless Julia went with them. Mrs. Hopkins said. hen nt home, she declared, he would spend much time talking to Julia, and ignoring his wife, the latter asserted also.

Then Julia Mutt went to work as cook at the JJethesda Home for the Aged, and Mrs. Hopkins learned that her husband was visiting the girl there frequently. Two other employees of the home became interested, and on the night of February "9 last they decided to watch. At 12:30 the next morning, both averred. Hopkins came in and went to Miss Matt's room.

They decided to remain up and see how long be would remain, but when 4 o'clock came they made tip their minds that Hie light their room ought to be put out, as that might prevent him leaving, so they dimmed it. Shortly after, both averred in af fidavits. Miss Matt came out of her room, clad In her nigntoress ami wiin her feet bare, and Hopkins followed I her. Then they stepped into tho hall and niado known the fact that they! had boon watching. Hopkins fled, they asserted, and sent word to his wife the next day.

She had known Witte for eight months, she said, and believed that he was all he appeared to be, but after the marriage he beat and abused her. She also declared he ir-bade her going out during the day, and would mark the soles of her shoes with chalk or pencil so that he might be able to tell if she left tho house. They separated last Christmas, she stated.

Bruce Wilson, father of Mrs. Witte, also testified as to th" husband's treatment. Asked how he came to consent to her marriage when she was only 16 years old, he said that she won the consent of her mother first, and then it was two to one, and they "overruled" his objections, and so the marriage took place. Judge Hoffman granted the young wife a divorce on the ground of cruelty. Other decrees granted by Judge florrman yesteraay were: lorence j' Weber.
