Gould Brokaw, it was brought out today that al- though -Mrs. Brokaw is now suing at Mineola, L. I, for separation with ali- mony of $60,000 a year, it was her husband who first threatened to sue. A telegram from him to Mrs, Blair, his mother-in-law, was the medium of this information, and it also contained his version of the incident that as- sumed the greatest importance in to- day’s- session of the trial. The tele- gram ran as follows: Husband Threatens to Sue. “I have closed my house, and am sorry to say I must sue Mary for a separation.. Her act culminating in a house party last Sunday night forced me to this step. She entertained three ladies and three men that day. Two of the ladies I do not approve of and the third I don't know at all. I do not know the men. She allowed one man to occupy my bedroom over night after putting my nurse and one lady in bachelors’ quarters, She refused to give me the’names of the men in spite of my request.” Where Guests Slept-at the “Culminat- ing House Party.” John F. McIntyre, Mr. Brokaw's law- ver, began drilling into all the at- tendant circumstances of tmis “culmi- nating house party” with great c cumstantiality. Mrs. Brokaw parried his questions as skilfully as ever, but showed some agitation over the in- sistence laid on the personality of “Bunnie” Wells, one of the guests. Mrs, Brokaw testified that she had first met Mr. Wells on the Baltimore, five years before his visit to her hus- band’s house, in company with Miss Nan Dennison of Syracuse, N. Y., Mrs. Frank Gould and another man whom Mrs. Brokaw only remembered as “a Mr. Thompson.” - “BROKAW'S TESTIMONY ENDED Further Interesting Ventilation of Family Difficulties Leading Up ‘to the Suit for Separation and Big Alimony i v “Wasn’t Mr. Brokaw's room con- nected with yours?” he asked. “No, the door from Mr. Brokaw's room opened on the hall” “And did it not open so near the door of your room that from your door you could have shaken hands with a person standing in the other?” “I never tried, Mr, McIntyre.” “Well, now, where did you assign Miss Dennison to sleep?” “In Mr. Brokaw's room.” “Wasn't there some change? Wasn't Mr. Wells finally given that room?" “Yes."” “Did Mr. Wells come prepared to stay all night?” “I think he did.” “Now, when Mr. Wells descended from the train, was he carrying a handbag or anything that might have contained the night apparel of Miss Dennison and himself?” “I pelieve he was carrying a bag.” ’ “What night garments did you no- tice Miss' Dennison had?” “I don’t know. I think she had lit- tle with her.” “Didn’t you say the only bag be- tween them was the one carried by Mr. Wells?"” = “I am not sure that Miss Dennison did not have a small bag.” “Do you recall that Mr. Wells’ name was not mentioned when the servants were in the room?” asked Mr. McIn- tyre. “l don’t remember anything of the kind,” was the answer. “Didn't you give your servants in- structions to call him by some other name ?” “I did not; it is a falsehood.” “If Henry Taylor, the butler, should say he was instructed not to call the visitor Mr. Wells, would that change your testimony?” “T wouldn‘t believe Taylor if he said that.” . Mrs. Brokaw Excused from Stand. Mrs, Brokaw was excused from the stand after five days of testimony. Her counsel intimated that he would soon Mr. McIntyre was desirous to know how the upstairs rooms of the house were arranged and what room she oc- cupied on the night of the party. produce nurses, maids and other wit- nesses to corroborate Mrs. Brokaw's stories of broken doors and uproari- ous nights. MIDDLE-AGED WOMAN SAYS SHE IS A GULLIBLE FOOL Who Believes in Fairies and Spirits —Amusing Divorce Testimony. Né&w York, Dec. 14—“Your honor, my client is a gullible fool who be- lieves in spirits and fairies,” said Abe before Magistrate Mrs. Marie Bran- middle-agea woman, and the client referred to, nodded her head in assent. “Yes, I am a fool,” she said. “I am aslifimed to say that I believe that a clairvoyant or medium could exert a kind of hypnotic influence ovér my husband so that he would feel kindly disposed toward me and would grant me a divorce without any trouble.” This amusing and interesting tes- timony was brought out today when Mrs. Brandes appeared as complain- ant against Delia Goff, a trained nurse and Jacob Lamensdorf, an employ- | ment agent, to whom she says she paid $10,000 for the novel purpose described. Failing to obtain her di- vorce she had them arrested, charged | with larceny. Magistrate O’Connuor held both defendants in $7,500 bail and -adjourned the intricate case for further hearing. Mrs. Brandes explained that before trying for her divorce she paid $200 to Miss Goff so that a medium would influence Mr. Brandes to give up the children and let her have furniture to furnish a home. She got the chil- dren and the furnjture and eagerly entered upon the spiritualistic divorce action. In all instances, she said, she de: a paid cash, with the understanding that the spirits would not -recognize a check. THE NAVY EMBARRASSED. Standard Oil Put on the “We Don't Patronize” List. ‘Washington, Dec. 14—By putting the Standard Oil company on the “We don’t patronize’ list Secretary Dickin- son of the whar department has embar- rassed the navy department. The lat- ter prides itself on being conducted on r'an equally high moral plane with the war department, but in this matter of freeing itself entirely from any sug- gestion of “trust” entanglement it has encountered some difficulty. The use of oil is'becoming more gen- eral in the navy and it is essential that a uniform quality be secured wherever purchased. This is not easy unless buying is done from some large corporation with branches in various ports of the world. Secretary Meyer will investigate the subject of oil purchasing, particularly inquiring into existing contracts of the department.

Savannah, Ga., Dec. 14.—Death re- moved probably the only case of lep- rosy in United States army Monday when Sergt. C. O. Mix-of the Seventy- second company, coast artillery, died in his lonegly cottage on the Fort Screven reservation. The body will be embalmed by Savannah undertak- ers and will be buried with full mili- tary honors in the national cemetery, in accordance with the last request of the dead soldier. Mix enlisted from Brownsville, Tex., and served in the Cuban campaign, during the Spanish-American war. It was here the disease was contracted. His father died not long since, leav- ing $40,000, Wut the money was of no avail to him, the government having done everything possible to relieve him. His pay fortune, The sergeant has been a govern- ment charge for the past few years his case attracting attention in medi cal circles all over the country. Two carloads of medical paraphernalif was shipped to Fort Screven to be used for the treatment of Mix's case, and the late Dr. J. A. Gilchirst, who was at the time in charge of the patient even imported medicines from . India and other far eastern countries in the hope of effecting a cure. He suc- ceeded in arresting the progress of the disease, but a cure was not accom- plished.

I believe that in the next con- gress there should be a change in the rules of the house or a change in the speakership; perhaps in both. “In my opinion it would be unwise for us to fritter away our strength in remature skirmishes which might ook to the public as exhibitions of resentment.

Ground has been broken this week, says the Stamford Bulletin, for the construction of a bakeshop which in its general character and detail will be far and away in advance of anything of the kind existing in the city. Bay- ard L. Marsh has planned for the in- stallation of a couple of ovens and con- tributive appliances that will make the production of breadstuffs a scientific process. On the lot,which has an area of forty~ five feet front by two hundred feet depth, a building fifty feet by thirty- three is to go up. The metal and ma- sonry making up each oven will weigh seventy-six tons, requiring an excep- tionally heavy foundation for their support. This mass of oven material has the effect of retaining the great body of heat and steam which is an important factor in the baking process. The ovens will be fired from the rear, thus eliminating the dust which would otherwise arise, Where the dough is introduced and(the baked produces re- moved there will simply be an aperture with a setting of glazed bricks on all sides and nothing else. Machinery equipment of the latest modern type is to be connected with the great ovens In order to insure efe fective handling of what is being baked in the most sanitary way and, as far as possible, witholit the touch of the hands. Contiguous to the bakery build. ing will be stock room, shipping room and office. The motive power for the machinery will be electricity. Mr. Marsh came to Stamford to en- gage in the bakery business a year ago from New York. Honors for Wesleyan Alumnus, The department of economics at Wesleyan unlversity has been notified that Frank H.
