MAY PART FROM HIS AMERICAN WIFE Duka and Duchess of Marlborough Disagree. MR. VANDERBILT AS CONCILIATOR. Father of the Duchess Trying: to Pre vent Separation For Sometime the Couple Have Been Living; Apart. Owing-, It Is Reported, to the Disagree able Disposition of the Duke. London (By Cable). Disagree ments between the Duke and Duchess of Marlborough, which have been prolonged over a period of IS months or more, English society la ronWimd. will result In their separation unless the earnest efforts now being made by the father of the Duchess and oth er relatives result In a reconciliation. V. K. Vanderbilt, the father of the Duchess, arrived In London on Tuesday and went directly to Blen Selm, where his daughter Is with her Ihildren. The Duke Is not at Ble.i heim, and all negotiations for a reconciliation have been conducted through Mr. Vanderbilt. Incompatibility Is the only reason sslgned for the strained relations sxtstlng between the Duke and the Duchess. This has become acute dur ing the past IS months, nnd they lave been apart for increasingly long periods. The Duke's relations with his wife's family have not been cordial tor sometime, chiefly due, it Is said. !o the disappointment to his expecta tions caused bv the second marriage of V, K. Vanderbilt. Dislikes Americans. The Duke, according to all ac ;ounts, Is not blessed with a very amiable temper, and nffects an In :ense dislike for Americans, whlcli Is most trying to the Duchess, who las many American friends of whom be Is fond. Nothing annoyed the Duke so much s the frequently printed reports of tils having received magnificent pres ents from his father-in-law. Ho never neglected an opportunity to Jorldo these rumors. When Sunder land House was being built it was published th.it this was being done with money furnished by W. K. Van lerl.Ilt as a Christmas present to the Duke ami Duchess. The Duke, angered by the publica tion, gave out a sharply worded de nial, in which he Intimated that V. K. Vanderbilt had not given either hlmnelf or the Duchess anything be vend the marriage settlements. No Trouble Over Money. Close friends of the Duke say he Is one of those me- who could never be contented or consistently agree able, and that the question of money really need trouble them not at all. If It were not for other sources of disagreement. Relievers In the doc trine of heredity point out that the Duke's father and mother both dis played incompatibility In their mari tal relations as proof of their theory. The two children the Marquis 'of Blandford and Lord Tver Spencer Churchill are, of course, a power ful deterrent to the separation of the Duke and Duchess. Their friends sincerely hope that a reconciliation may be effected, although It Is said that the family of the Duchess has foreseen the ultimate result for sev eral years. Because of the fact that the Duke and Duchess have been so much be fore the public sin"p their marriage, the report of their disagreement and possible Reparation naturally spread quickly In London society.

The nsG of any false or mts- I leading statements Is specifically I prohibited. Washington (Speclnl). Secretary Wilson of the Department of Agri culture promulgated the regulations under which the recently enacted pure food and drug act will he en forced. The commission appointed to prepare the regulations consisted of Dr. H. W. Wiley of tho Agricul tural Department, Dr. S. N. D. North of the Department of Commerce and Lnbor and James L. Gerry of the Treasury Department. In a letter to the Secretaries of their several de partments they say their agreement on the regulations wns unanimous. To the regulations Secretaries Wil son. Metcalf and Shaw have given their approval. Tho section of the regulations respecting the labeling of products requires that the Ingre dients of the package shall be stated, so that the purchaser may know pre cisely what he Is buying.

The use of any false or misleading state ments, design or device, on the label Is specifically prohibited. Differences Of Opinion. It is known that some differences of opinion arose among the mem bers of the Commission respecting Important details of the rules. s originally drafted the rules practi cally prohibited the use of generic names' as applied to products of American manufacture. For Instance, champagne, as distinguishing a kind of wine, could not be used In con nection with an American wine of that kind, because It was held to be misleading. If not actually deceptive. Geographical names, generally, as applied to food or drug products, or to wlneB anj liquors, were not per mitted to be used under the regula tions as prepared by the Commission. When the regulations were sub mitted to the Secretaries of the three departments for npnroval some changes were made In-them of a very Important character. As To Geographical Name. The use of geographical names, for instance, was provided for In cases it was thought the names were L-enerlc or distinctive. It was provid ed, however, that It should be in dicated on the package contain ing the product that It was of American manufacture. Thus, cham pagne Is required to be labeled American champagne, of California champagne, so that the purchaser, while he knows that he Is getting a certain kind of wine, knows also that the wine Is made In America and not in France. The regulations apply to other products in a similar wav. It was the effort of the Commission to Insure to the purchaser of any food or drug product absolute purity. Secession In Australia.

DANGER Of THE SUBMARINE The French Press Wants Their Use Prohibited. Paris (By Cable). The cause of tho disaster to the submarine boat Lutln, Involving the loss of 16 lives, Is still a mystery. Tho naval officers are generally of the opinion that when Lieutenant Fepoux ordered the boat to be submerged In the rough sea running the helmsman depressed the ruddor too much and the Lutln nitched to the bottom, overturning he'r accumulators and suffornting the rew with the fumes from the acids heforo they had time to release the safety weights or the telephone buoy. The wnter pressure Is 60 pounds to the inch at tho depth where the 'mbmnrlne boat lies, which, It is be lieved, would be sultlcclnt to stnrt her plates, especially If It Is true, as announced In a special dispatch from Rlzerta, thnt the Lutln stranded a fortnight ago; that her hull may have been Injured and that, she was not docked after having been hauled "ft. The Ministry of Marine Is coming in for a lot of criticism, owing to Its failure to properly equip the Bl xerta Naval Station with salving ap paratus, as It was proposed to do after the disaster to the submarine bont Farfadet, which sank last sum mer off Blzerta. Some of the news papers express the opinion thnt the repeated accidents to submarlno boats should lead to an international agreement to prohibit their use. claiming tnat It is proved that tney aro more dangerous to their own crews than thev are ever llkelv to be to an enemy.

The autrorltles here deny thiit the disaster could have originated In tho Injuries sustained by tho Lutin when she stranded a fortnight ago, as on that occasion she grounded at tho entrance of the Inner port, on a solid bottom, and backed off with out any assistance. Later tho hull of the submarine boat was examined by divers, who pronounced It to be uninjured.
