DECREASE IN HIS INCOME Howard Could Loses $200,000 Yearly by Depression. New York, Oct. 1:.—That Howard Gould's income was formerly $600.000 a year, but since the business depres- slon of last year it has been reduced to $400,000, and that he has lost $300, 1000 this year was stated by his coun- sel in an argument before Justice Bischoff. These figures were given in opposing an application by Mrs. Kath- erine Clemmons Gould, who is suing Mr. Gould for divorce, for an increase in her alimony from $25,000 a year to $120,000. To support her application Mrs. Gould asserted that her hus- band’s income was $600,000 a year. Delancy Nicoll, counsel for Mr. Gould, replied that while this was once true Mr. Gould says it is not so now. Mr. Nicoll also asserted that Mrs. Gould’s career for many years has been one of unbridled extravagance and that last year she received from her hus- band $224,000. Counsel for Mr. Gould declared that in 1906 Mr. Gould told his wife he would separate from her unless she abandoned her habits, but that Mrs. Gould declined to do so. Clarence J. Shearn, counsel for Mrs. Gould, said that Mr. Gould had tried “to starve his wife out” of Castle " |Gould and had filled the house with sples who watched her every mo- ment, compelling her to move to a hotel. . Mr. Nieoll retorted that in seven years from 1899 to 1906 Mr. Gould gave his wife $766,500 and that' Mrs. Gould had saved $200,000 of it. Decision on the increase of alimony was reserved.
