EDITH KELLY GOULD LOSES DIVORCE PLEA — Paris Decree Stands, Says Judge, ‘Who Holds Action Not in Good Faith. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK., February 21.—Su- preme Court Justice Mullan yesterday denied application of Edith Kelly Gould for an order vacating the di- vorce decree obtained in Paris by Frank J. Gould. In dismissing the action, with $10 costs, the court set Torth that the action had not been brought in good faith by the actreas and that “the limit of her hope is to coerce the defendant.” The decision also denled Mra. Gould the right to file an amended reply containing allegations that assail nd put in issue the regularity of the ench decree. Rehearsing the facts leading up to the French action, Justice Mullan sald that, although the plaintiff had the fullest opportunity, “she had not seen fit to say a single word in her defense.” Justice Myllan said he was con- vinced Mrs. Gould merely wished to coerce her former husband into “pur- chasing the nuisance value she sesses” and that “the action is not made in good faith and the plaintiff has not a meritorious case. —_— Mrs. Matilda Skelton. one of the few woman survivors of the Indian mutiny, has died in England at the ’a‘a. of ninety year & ‘ | potency of th irrespective of present fitness or un fitness of District residents to enjo the American rights to be granted by Congress, when it exercises its new nstitutional power, this joint reso- lution should be promptly passed by two-thirds of Congress and the pro- posed constitutional amendment rati- order to relieve the nation of the shame of impotency to cure, when it pleases, the evil of un-American to- tally non-representative government, at the very heart of the nation, the seat of the national government. Conviction of present lack of fitness of District residents for national repre- | sentation, or despair of such fitness in the near future. logically affects only the future date to be flxed when Con- gress shall wisely and justly exercise this power. It has no logical tendency to delay the ratification of the amend- mentitself. Congress should not lack the power to Americanize the District, no matter how long its judgment may im- pel it to delay the actual exercise of the power when secured. National Homor Toucked. “National honor is touchéd by im- natlonal government to grant national representation to any well populated, intelligent, re- sourceful American communiiy.

This is the first recep- {tion held by the society in five years, and it is expected that members of the cabinet, the District Commissioners, members of Congress and other offi- cials will be present.
