TEMPORARY DECREE
IN DONALDSON CASE
HALTS PROCEEDINGS
----- i r i i r
While Attorneys Confer
"Both Sides Are Given
Period of "Custody of

A temporary decision, pending a con
ference between the attorneys, was inado
this afternoon by Judge Brown, In the
Domestic Relations branch of the Munici
pal Court, In the habeas corpus proceed
lnga brought by Mrs. Keith Donaldson,
"the million dollar bride," to obtain cus
tody of her 7-year-old daughter, Dorothy.
Judge Brown decided tho child should
stay at the homo of her grandmother,
11 rs, Wllllani Donaldson, In the custody
of Mrs. Jane D. Rlppln, probation officer
ot tho court, until Baturday. Sho will
then bo .given Into the custody of Mrs.
Keith Donaldson until next Tuesday, by
which time the court expects tho attor
neys to Ii.iVq reached a final agreement
Mrs Keith Donaldson demanded Hint
the agreement sho made with her former
husband when they wero divorced, bo
Incorporated In the decree of the court,
and that Pannlo Blanc, tho French nurse,
be dismissed nnd kept away from the
child. A demand was made by ox
Attorney General Hampton Todd that
each side put up bond not to take the
little girl out ot tho country.
Attorney John It. K. Scott for Mrs
Keith Donaldson, characterized this de
mand and the summing up address of
Mr. Todd, as the most cruel and heart
less speech he had ever heard. He Bald
Mr. Todd knew It was Impossible for
"this penniless woman" to provide a
bond
Keith Donaldson testified for a few
moments, being ono of tho last witnesses.
He said he nan witting his former wife
should see tho little girl and that the
agreement bo lived up to. The dlvorco
agreement gives Mrs. Keith Donaldson
possession of the girl four months a
year and direction of her education. The
remainder of tho year tho girl is to stay
with her father.
The refusal of Mrs. Keith Donaldson's
daughter, Dorothy, to go with her
mother, several tilts botweon lawyers
and the naive statement by the beautiful
Mrs. Donaldson that she "generally Is
broke In January" featured the hearing
When Mrs Donaldson came Into the
courtroom she vat attired effectively In
black velvet, trimmed with fur, and wore
a largo black hat. Her former mother-in-law,
with tho French maid and little,
Dorothy Donaldson, was sitting In
bonches at the renr of tho courtroom.
Tho younger Mrs. Donaldson walked di
rectly to these benches and leaned over
the llttlo girl
"Baby," sho said, "hole's a present for
you." Sho handed the child a package.
"Go away," said the little girl; "I don't
want you."
Mrs. Donaldson smiled and continued:
"Baby, do you remember that doll baby
and writing desk and those other toys
I told you I'd ask Santa Claus to go to
Paris and got for you. Well, he made
a mistake and left them at my house.
They're there waiting for jou."
"I don't wont them," said tho child,
"Go away, I don't want you."
Mrs. Donaldson swallowed hard and
turning, walking quietly to her seat at
tho counsel tablo. She declared that
It was the first time tho child had treated
her In that manner.
. The, testimony concerning her finances
was given under croBS-examlnatlon by
iavld,,M. Smjthc. ex-dlrector of Publlo
Safety, attorney for the defonse He con
tinually asked Mrs. Donaldson where she
fot her money. Bho said she gets alimony
of (106 a month and J2300 a year from a
railroad Investment. She testified she has
leased her home In London and gets
some revenue from this.
Jlr. Smytho asked specifically about her
financial condition In January, 1911 Ha

PHILADELPHIA SHIP
WRECKED OFF COAST
OF NORTH CAROLINA
Schooner Warren Adams,
Battered by Fierce Gale,
Towed to Norfolk After
Many Perils.
NORFOLK, Vn , Dec 31 The aban
doned, dismasted, water-logged coasting
Bchooner Warren Adnms, of Philadelphia,
picked up In the Gulf Stream while a
great menaco to navlgntlon by tho United
States reonuo cutter Itasca, wna towed
into Hampton Roads by tho Itasca last
night.
Wnllo Captain B. M. Chlswell, com
manding tho Itasca, was officially turn
ing the Adams over to Collector of Cus
toms Norman R Hamilton at the lat
tor's Newport Nows ofllco this morning,
to be held as Government property until
claimed by her owners, A D. Cummins,
of 127 Walnut street, Philadelphia, man
aging owner of the Adams, accompanied
by Captain W. V Grace, the derelict's
master, appeared at tho Newport News
Custom House and claimed tho vessel.
Up to this time nothing had been heard
here of the safety of Captain Grace and
tho crew, who left the wrecked Adams,
In the only lifeboat carried by the vessel.
STRUCK BY FIRRCrJ GALL".
Captain Grace told today ot a thrilling
experience by himself and crew when
tho Adams, bound from Charleston, S. C,
to Philadelphia with a cargo of Southern
lumber, was struck by a fierce gale off
the North Carolina coast Sunday, De
cember 27, and had to bo abandoned after
two of tho vessel's masts had been broken
off. Captain Grace and his crow of sir
remained on the Adams until they wero
sighted by the steamship Joseph J. Cu
neo, bound from Kingston, Jamaica, for
New York.. Tho Adams' urcDoat was
then lowered and tho Adams crew left
her, going aboard tho Cuneo, which land
ed them In Now York
The Adams, having been several times
reported abandoned and a menaco to
navigation along the Atlantic coast, tho
revenue cutters Seminole and Itasca wont
to search for her. The Seminole sought
for three daye without result The Itasca,
In command of Captain B. M Chlswell,
receiving word from Diamond Shoals
Wireless Station that the Adams had
been sighted in the Gulf Stream, pro
ceeded hurriedly from her anchorage off
Lynnhaven Inlet In Lower Chesnpcako
Bay, nnd, as a result of careful calcula
tions made by Captain Chlswell, the cut
ter picked up the derelict In the midst of
the Gulf Stream
She was at this time drifting nearly
two miles an hour, and tho opinion waa
expressed by some aboard the Itaska
that If nothing had stopped the ship she
might have been carried in the rapid
current of the Gulf Stream over to Eu
rope and back to tho Azores.
When tho Adams was found two of her
three masts were missing. She was
water-logged and her rail on one side
had been carried away. Her steering
Kear remained Intact.
Captain Chlswell, calling fdr volunteers,
dispatched four men. Coxswain Lager
man, Seamen Grady, Holden and Pinner
aboard tho derelict to steer her, while
the Itasca began the 110-mlle tow Into
Hampton Roads. At this time It 'as
very warm In the Gulf Stream, those
aboard the Itasca declaring the temper
ature to be that of a typical August day,
while snow was yet on the ground In
Norfolk, less than 160 miles weBt.
In tho warm waters of the Gulf Stream
there was floating about the derelict
schooner a great school of sharks, ap
parently hungry for food.
Volunteers from the Itasca, undismayed
by the sharks, proceeded In a small row
ing cutter from the Itasca and went on
the derelict. Shortly after the tow began
a severe storm arose and the volunteers
from the Itasca were from 1 p, m , De
cember 29, until 11 p. m., December SO,
aboard the Adams In what was almost a
continuous downpour of rain with heavy
seaa alio washing tho wrecked schooner's
deck. The volunteers bravely stood at
their posts until Captain Chlswell brought
the Adams Into port last night.
PERIL TO NAVIGATION REMOVED.
The salving of the Adams by the cutter
Itasca means not only that a menace
to navigation has been removed from the
direct path of coasting vessels, but the
derelict has been saved to her owners,
who get her back without C9t except for
the payment ot the rowing cutter from
the Itasca which was swamped Jn the
high seas after a tow of the derelict was
begun by the Itasca In the Glut Stream
Tho vessel and her cargo are worth,
It ! said, approximately 115,000. The ves
sel will toe repaired to some extent and
then towed on to Philadelphia
The Warren Adams la CS7 gross tons.
Itt feet long, 35 feet beam and drew IS
feet of water.
She waa built originally In Maine In 1SSI
and hailed from Jacksonville, Pla., until
her register was changed o Philadelphia
two years ago.
The appearance of Captain Grace and
Managing Owner Cummins at the New
port News Custom House this morning

turn over the derelict to Collector Hamll

WORCESTER SEES ANARCHY
IN PHILIPPINE FREEDOM
Tolls Gonato Committee Natives Are
Vnilt lor Solf-Government.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 31. That tho dL
reot outcome of Philippine Independence
would bo a atato of hloodshod and anar
chy, followed by aggressions against for
eigners, Intervention and selzuro of tho
Islands by somo foreign Powor, was tho
declaration of Dean C. Worcoster, former
member of the Philippine Commission and
ono time Secretary of the Interior for tho
Islands, who appeared today na a witness
beforo tho Senate Philippine Committee,
Mr. Worcester declared emphatically
that tho Filipinos nn unfit for Independ
ence unless the American Government Is
made a protectorate. Thero Is no strong
unanimity of opinion In tho Philippines
In favor of Independence, ho said, except
among tho politicians who deslro to work
their will upon tho pooplo. Ho added thnt
ho had Just received a cablegram from
P. G. MacFarland, an American editor
In Manila, saying tho leader of tho re
ported Insurrection Is Artemlo rt'.cartc, a
professional revolutionist.
Insurrections such as this., Mr Wor
cester pointed out, only show tho inability
with which an Independent Philippine
Government could cope with tho situation.
VICTIMS ARREST MAN
Constables Plash Badges on Head of
Defunct Camden Concern.
Two constables, who said ho had sold
stock In a mall order company, camo
down from Freehold, Monmouth County,
N. J., today and flashed their stars on
I.lnnood Haines, nt Eth and Cooper
streetB. Camden. Haines' mall order com
pany, known as "Llnwood Haines, Inc.,"
went Into a receiver's hands a month
ago.
Recorder Stnckhouse at the Camden
City Hall today heard the constables,
James Johnson and Henry Walder, tes
tify that Haines had sold them stock in
the mall order house after It became
defunct. Tho Magistrate let them tako
him back to answer charge of obtaining
money under false pretences.
Haines succeeded In selling stock to
hundreds of farmers all over the southern
part of Now Jersey. The mall order house
suspended early In December, nftcr a
skyrocket career in ofllceB at Front and
Federal streets, Camden. The stockhold
ers had so much faith in Llnwood Haines
that It took James N. Carr, an attorney
they had retained, nearly two hours to
convince them the company was In a bad
way and that they ought not to heed
Haines' plea for now assessments. This
occurred at a meeting in tho Camden Y.
M. C. A., when the mail order house was
on Its last legs.
