Goes to Mrs. Goelet
Special to The Telegraph
Newport, R. 1., March IS. —A di
vorce was granted to Mrs. Robert
Goelet. formerly Miss Elsie Whelen, of
Philadelphia, yesterday by Justice
Barrow. Neither Mrs. Goelet nor Mr.
Goelet was in court, the case being re
viewed entirely on depositions.
In the court's decision it is directed
that Mr. and Mrs. Goelet shall have
possession of their eldest son, Ogden,
and that Mrs. Goelet shall have the
custody of her two-year-old son,
Peter, until he is six years old, and
after that both parents shall share in
his custody. The financial arrange
ment reported by Mr. and Mrs. Goelet
was not disclosed.
Mrs. Goelet asked for the divorce on
the grounds of "extreme cruelty, gross
misbehavior and wickedness." Her de
positions stated that she had left her
husband on January 21 last because
of his conduct towards her.
Valet a Spy
"William Drake, valet for Mr. Goe
let," Mrs. Qoelet continued, "had spied
on me constantly, taking the lists of
the guests I entertained at Newport
last summer and also In New York.
Drake, too, got the coachman to tell
liim whom I had been out driving
with and where I had been. This ac
tion became so general that every time
J went outdoors I would see the face
of the valet. It got on my nerves and '
affected my health. Further, the
watchman was spying on me, and I
caught him listening to conversations
I had over the telephone.
"Mr. Goelet has derided me, quar
reled and was always rude to my
friends. Mr. Goelet took his meals
in another room to the one in which 11
was having my meals, eo the guests i
could see him eating in this inaiinor.
He would slam the door in the faces '
of my friends and would advise hisr
bachelor friends to remain single. ■
While so speaking he would look di- j
rectly at me, saying that "marriage Is!
a failure." All communications from j
Mr Goelet to me were through i
Drake."
Mrs. Goelet further deposed she had
not been living on a scale in excess of i
lier husband's finances.
"We never went out together," Mrs. I
Goelet continued. "He would go h..< j
way and I would go mine. Mr. Goelet i

TfiAIHIED DOGS STHL

OF STEELTOIK POLICE
I
| Detective Durnbaugh Confident
That Animals Have Been
Taught Theft Tricks
I That members of the gang of
chicken thieves which has been prey
ing on residents of Steelton and vicin
ity are using trained dogs In their
raids is now the belief of Steelton de
tectives.
Strength was lent to the theory last
night when the henhouse of Benjamin
I' 'tto, 104 North Second street, >vas
, visited and ten fine white leghorn pul
lets killed. Mrs. Otto was awakened
about 3 o'clock this morning by a
I commotion in the henhouse. She
aroused her husband who went out to
investigate.
When Mr. Otto came out the back
door he heard someone whistle ami
saw a dog scamper down the street.
Entering the henhouse he found the
i ten hens laying in a heap dead. The
:door of the henhouse was locked, as
I was the gate to the yard. Examina
tion showed that each hen was bitten
in the neck by some animal small
enough to crawl through the hole at
! the bottom of the coop used by the
I Hock.
[ Detective Irvin Durnbaugh, who was
assigned to the case by the authorities,
is firm in the opinion that the hens
were killed by a trained dog belonging
to a member of the gang. He has
several good clues and promises some
arrests in a few days.

Into his store and asked him for
money. When he refused they at

Dr. Martin G. Brumbaugh's state

Such Action

Request for annexation of Riverside, I
Lynchville and Lucknow to the city \
is being considered among the resi- 1
dents of the district north of the city, i
At the meeting of the Riverside j
citizens held last night Harris P. Me- i
Cormick presented a blue print show- j
ing the district which he suggests pur- •
| posing to the city for annexation. At a i
meeting of the Riverside people next j
: month the matter will be thoroughly,
I discussed and representatives ■of the
| other sections which It Is proposed to ;
i Include in the territory to be annexed |
j will be at the meeting to declare for I
or against the proposal. |
j The terrtory Included in the propo- |
jsltion extends from Division street to i
I the Linglestown road between the river j
| and Wlldwood Park, more than a
square mile, occupied by several thou
j sands of people.
| Under the Clark act a petition of
' three-fourths of the residents of the
section must be presented to council
with a copy of the plot 'o be annexed,
and council can annex It by passing i
an ordinance.
Sentiment Crystallizing
Several years age an attempt was '
made to annex part of this territory,!
but it was voted down. It is said that i
. the sentiment now is more favorable;
to the proposition, and it is believed .
that at the meeting next month it may I
b. given serious. consideration. The 1
petitions will not be started until the |
matter is discussed at the meeting;
next month, but those in favor of an- |
nexation are at work explaining their
views.
The proposal of the Pennsylvania!
railroad to put a footbridge over the j
tracks at Division street was strongly
opposed last night as the Riverside;
residents say this Is only an attempt '
to offset the demand for a subway en
trance'to Wild wood Park under the
tracks. A letter from W. B. McCaleb,
of the railroad, was read in which he
stated that the request for a subway
was being considered.

Strong Sentiment For
Kankel in York County
Special to The Telegraph
Dallastown, Pa.. March 18.— The
registration of voters in this section,
the strongholds of Democracy
in York county, has developed an in
dependence for the nomination for the
Supreme Judgeship that is somewhat
remarkable. While representatives of
Judge Endllch, of Berks county, have j
made a careful canvass of the voters I
In his Interest and there are some I
who are outspoken in his behalf, there
Is beyond doubt a strong sentiment
in favor of Judge George Kunkel, of
Dauphin county. At the polls to-day,
where the registration is being made,
many approached in a casual way as
to the nonpartisan judgeship ex
pressed a preference for him, basing
their reason on his Judicial fairness
In all State cases, particularly those
in reference to the Capitol graft, in
which justice was meted out to all
concerned. Judge Kunkel is also well
known throughout this county in other
ways, he having repeatedly, when dis
trict attorney of Dauphin county, as
sisted in several celebrated cases here,
particularly that of Painton. convicted
and executed for the murder of Mrs.

The Clock
Without Hands
The business that attempts to
grow without advertising Is
about as successful as the clock
without hands.
All the movements It makes
amount to little; for people don't
know about them.
Yours may be a splendid busi
ness; but people are too busy to
tind It out unless you tell them
about It by advertising.
They do know about the busi
ness of the fellow who keeps
them posted through the columns
of 'this and other newspapers.
He Invites their trade and tells
them why he wants It; or rather
why It is to their advantage to
give it to him.
Being a live business man he
. knows how to treat customers
after he gets them. He knows he
can make his advertising pay
only by living up to his prom
ises.
Don't let your business be *
like a clock without hands.
Advertise.
Begin now.
