Sergt, Samuel Woedflll, named by
General Pershing the outstanding hero
of the World war, at the Palace thea­

was mnde by Judge Phillip McCook,
a "buddy” in the army with Woodflll,
and enrne ns a surprise to the latter,
who was brought to New York upon
pretense of participating In Armistice
day celebrations, 'he gift constituted
the contributions of employees of
twenty-nine New York thenters. This

Woodflll—all smiles—watching the
burning of the mortgage on their
home while Judge McCook super­
vises the deed.
Taxes are high, but thlg»ls largely
due to th e Increase In local taxes,

Aside from th e hel pw hlch has

Woman Sends 42,000 Cents

Greenwich, Conn.—A wealthy
woman residing In a fashionable
section of Greenwich moved to
her winter home In New York
city last week leaving a bill of
$420 owing the Greenwich Cab
company for taxicab fares. A
representative of the company
had visited her estate on two oc­
casions In an effort to collect the
bill before she left, but was un­
successful.
Yesterday the woman sent a
tnxlcsb from New York to the
cab company's office here with
a large keg containing 42 XM1
