SAVED BY WIFELESS
Cunard Liner Slavonia Wreck'
ed Off One of the Azores.
Passengers and Crew Were All Taken
Off by North German Lloyd Steamer
Prinzes. Irene and Hamburg-Amer
ican Liner Batavia Rescuing
Steamers Received News of Disaster
When Over 100 Miles Distant.
Wireless telegraphy played a prom
Inont part In the saving of the crew
and passengers of the Cunard lino
steamer Slnvonln, which Is a total
sreck two miles Bouthwost of Flores
Island. The wireless feat of the steam
er Republic was equalled, If not ex
celled. After having steamed successfully
niore than half way across the At
lantic the vessel, which left New York
for Naples on June 3, if. almost a com
plete wreck; but through the timely
nld rendered by North GerniHn Lloyd
end Hamburg-American liners that
were nearby every passenger, accord
ing to best reports here, was taken
off in safety.
The liners which gave aid to the
Slavonia are the Prinzess Irene of the
North German Lloyd and the Hamburg-American
line steamer Batavia.
Both were also bound for Naples.
First reports that the Cunarder had
run aground reached New 1'oik In a
message to the North German Lloyd
company from Captain Peterson of the
Prinzess Irene saying briefly:
"Took on board Prinzess Irene 110
cabin passengers from steamship Sla
vonia at southwest of Flores Island.
The 300 sleerage passsengers on Ba
tavia. Slavonia probably total wreck."
The list of cabin passengers on the
Slavonia ns given out by the Cunard
line here contains no addresses, but
the first-class passengers are practic
ally all Americans, among them 15 or
20 In a Cook's tourist party.
SUBMARINE'S CREW LOST
Two Divers Have Died In Attempt to
Rescue Imprisoned Men.
All hope Is gone of saving the crew
of the Russian submnrine Kambala.
which was sunk In collision with the
battleship Rostislav during maneuvers
Friday night, or of recovering the
wreck, owing to the great depth of
water. Two divers have died in the
attempts to rescue the men, on ac
count of the Immense pressure. Oth
ers tried repeatedly and heroically
to pass chains around the wreck, but
finally came to the surface utterly ex
hausted, having accomplished nothing.
All operations h:ive been abandoned.
The chances ;f saving the Uvea of
the Imprisoned men were recognized
from the Bret as very remote, although
under normal conditions the subma
rines have an nlr capacity of three
days. The Knmbala type of subma
rine, however. Is weak structurally and
for this reason cannot make a descent
of more than 100 feet.
The Kanibnln went down In 150 feet
of water, and only untrustworthy bulk
heads stood between the men and
death after the boat was struck by the
Rostistjv. Thr disaster occurred fiv3
miles from Sehastopol.
Four men were saved, including the
commander. Lieutenant AqullonolT,
vho was ghlt.g orders through the
speaking tube to the helmsman Just
before the collision. These orders,
he says, were misinterpreted, the
helm being put to port instead of star
board. FUNERAL OF DR. HALE

LAXPACKINGHOUSE METHODS
Serious Charges Made by an Inspector
Who Has Resigned.
After eighteen months' service as
a United States meat Inspector
in East St. Louis packing houses,
J. F. Harms resigned, he says,
writing a letter to Secretary of Agri
culture James Wilson, demanding an
investigation of the meat Inspection
system at the National stock yards.
Harms asserts that he has resigned
because he could not tolerate the con
ditions and because the Inspector in
charge of the bureau of animal In
dustry was too lenient with packers.
"The inspection at the National
stock yards, III., is costing the people
approximately $100,000 a year," he
tnys In his letter, "and It Is not actual
ly worth $1 to them. For when the
word Is passed from the inspector In
charge to the inspectors actually do
ing the work on the floors that they
are getting too many condemned an
Imala and to change the grading, it
means that the whole thing Is a farce
Mr. Secretary, the packers are getting
today from 70 to 80 per cent of what
ought to be condemned and destroyed
"I have seen from 1,200 to l,f00
pounds of lard spill and run Into an
open sewer In the floor, the sewer
outlet quickly blocked, nnd said lard
taken up from the floor and out of the
sewrr, both of which were unclean and
unsanitary. And your doctors passed
same to the packers over the protest
of the United States inspector on that
floor and it went to the pnbllc marked
'U. S. Insnected and passed.' "
Harms also cites several specific in
stances o alleged lax methods, de
claring meat condemed by subinspee
tors had been released to the packers
by higher otliclals.
Chief Inspector Clancy, discussing
the charges, asserted such cases were
not uncommon, because the duties of
the chief inspector called for deci
sions in matters of doubt.

Had Been Partly Asphyxiated.
After making progress In findlrrg the
mlsslnghead of the victim and In Iden
tifying him as Samuel Bersln, a Rus
sian paintcw and decorator, the New

sordid murder mystery on their hands,
tangled as to motive and with no di
rect clue to the assailants.

to the famous Guldensuppe case of

SSUE IN GOULD SUIT
Is Narrowing Down to a Ques
tion of Abandonment.
Verbal Battle Between Cross-Examiner
and Mrs. Gould Plaintiff Would
Not Recognize Her Picture In an
Old Photograph of a Young Woman
on a White Horse In a Circus Tent,
Gave One of Her Gowns, She Said,
to Delancy Nicoll's Sister.
New York, June 15. Abandonment
will be the sole Issue upon which the
suit for separation brought by Kath
erlne Clemmons Gould against her hus
band, Howard Gould, third son of the
late Jay Gould, will be decided. This
ruling was made in the supreme court
by Justice Dow ling, who Is hearing the
ase, after counsel for Mrs. Gould had
rested the case for the plaintiff.
This sweeps away several phases
of the case, notably cruelty and non
support, and Is a partial victory for
Howard Gould. As to the charge of
abandonment the court held that this,
too, might not r.tnnd unless the plain
tiff was able to show that Howard
Gould's stipulations for a reconclla
tion with his wife were unreasonable.
This phase of the case will be argued.
Allegations Not Sustained Said NicJll.
Delancey Nlcoll, for the husband,
made tie usual motion to dismiss on
the ground that the plaintiff had fail
ed to make out a case. "There have
been no evidences of cruelty," he
argued. "One of the allegations Is
that the plaintiff was surrounded by
spies. Nothing has been adduced to
prove It. Then there Is the Hawley
Incident. Nothing In that bears out
the charge of cruelty."
Referring to the abandonment
charge, he said Howard Gould left his
wife In July, lf06. but offered to re
turn on perfectly reasonable terms,
among other things asking her to ab
stain from Intoxicating liquors. Mrs,
Gould, he continued, refused. During
the foregoing arguments Mrs. Gould
became faint, left the co-irtroom and
did not return.
Then her attorney, Clarence Shearn,
began his argument. "It is cruelty,"
he affirmed, "for a husband, without
J usti flea tion, to accuse bis wife of being
a bad character, or to entertain against
her, without rause, reflections against
her honor.
"What kind of conspiracy was Mr.
NieoII engaged In," he asked, "when
he got habitues of a saloon to work
for the purpose of proving Mrs. Gould
a woman of bad repute? That was
the acme of cruelty. Howard Gould's
attempt to have his wife pledge her
self not to drink In Itself constitutes
cruelty."
It was this clause In the agreement
that had been asked the wife to sign
before he would consent to live with
her again that Mrs. Gould most strong
ly objected to.
"What." she had exclaimed earlier
in the day, "have me sign myself a
drunkard? Never,"
Inasmuch ' an the abandonment
charge only Is to be considered there
will l,e no further mention of Buffalo
Bill, B13 Hawley, the former convict,
or F.d Sholes. the reputed gambler.
But It still leaves open the question of
Mrs. Gould's Indulgence In Intoxicants.
Young Woman on a White Horse.
Whatever benrlng the events of th5
day will have on the ultimate decision
In the case, honors were about even
In the verbal battle between the cross-
examiner and .Mrs. Gould. Both
sprung surprises. The lawyer's most
pertinent and apparently embarrass
ing thrust was the exhibition of a fad
ed, old-fashioned photograph of a
young woman on a white horse, with
the white canvas of a circus tent in
the background. Mrs. Gould turned a
dull red ns It was shown, but she
would not Identify the photograph as
one of herself, nor would she swear
that It was not. She thought it waa
"hardly fat enough for me."
This picture was Introduced to show,
if possible, Mrs. Gould's former as
sociation with Buffalo Bill's show.
She had previously denied on the
stand that she wus In any way con
nected with the Wild West, though ad
mitting that she had travelled at times
with Colonel W. F. Cody and his
daughter and that ho had been her
manager.
In retaliation for the picture Inci
dent, Mrs. Gould made one cutting re
tort to her inquisitor. Mr. Nlcoll had
been a'klng the witness about her
gowns, how many she wore, how often
'ie wore them and what became of
them. They were given away. Mrs.
Gould testified.
"One of them," she shot in. "was
given to your own sister, who Is on
the stage. I have aided many poor
girls to get stage engagements by
equipping them with my discarded
gowns.
"Did it become her?" was Mr. Nic
oll's only rejoinder.
As was the rase Friday, a good part
of the time was taken up In question
ing Mrs. Gould concerning her lavish
expenditures. How many gowns to
wear a day, how long It took to dress
and the declaration that It was "very
bad taste" to wear a gown twice, were
among the Interesting fashion hints In
the testimony.
The name of DusHn Farnum, the ac
tor, was again brought in, and George
Gould told of how he had Instituted an
investigation to ascertain the facts
concerning an alleged marriage of the
plaintiff before she became his bro
ther's wife.
POLICEMAN LOCKS HIM UP
When Contractor Asked For Informa
tion About Nephew's Arrest.
Washington, Pa., June 15. Because
he remained 30 minutes in a cell at
the borough lockup, where he was
plaecM as the result of a disagreement
with Patrolman George Haines, Will
lam Milne, one of the best known con
tractors and business men in Wash
Ington, says he will bring suit for dam
ages. It Is understood the matter was
placed In the hands of Attorney Boyd
Crumrlne.
Harry Melrose of Scotland, a neph
ew of Mr. Milne, who has been visiting
here several weeks, was arrested re
cently by Officer Haines because he
did not give the ofllcer a satisfactory
answer when stopped In the street
after midnight and asked his bu.dncss.
Melrose was taken to the lockup,
where he put up a forfeit.
When Milne learned of the arrest
he went to the police station to In
quire the reason for his nephew's In
carceration. Hines was there and
when questioned by Milne, it is said,
the latter was ordered off the prem
ises. Milne refused to go.
"If you don't leave here I'll lock you
up," Haines is alleged to have threat
ened. When .Milne persisted In his
demand for Information he was
placed In a ce ll, where he remained
until Desk Sergeant Alexander Ran
kin appeared. Milne and Rankin are
well acquainted and the laeter was
astonished to find the contractor be
hind the bars. Milne stated the cane
to Rankin and asked that Attorney
Crumrlne be called at once. Rankin
let Milne out after $10 had been
placed as a forfeit.
