THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, JUNE 14, 1896. gers that no more interruptions would be tolerated. Mr. Quigg yielded at this point to aliow eight minutes to President Edward Lau- terbach of the County Commitiee to de- scribe how the roll of the convention was made up. Closing the entire case Mr. Wise insisted that unchallenged delegates were in attendance and voted. He quoted a letter from ex-Secretary Tracy support- ing the legality of the surroundings of the Bliss assemblage. On taking his seat Mr. Wise bombarded Quigg with technical questions growing out of the irregularity of his convention. Just as Mr. Sutherland resumed his seat Mr. Wise created surprise by stating that while Messrs. Bliss and Kruger were abundantly satisfiea with the justice of their proposition they would be satisfied with—and in fact asked as a matter of courtesy—that they be made joint dele- zates and be placed on the temporary roll with a half vote each. This was greeted with ironical cries of “Oh!” At12:10 A. x. the committee went into secret session. A moment later both sides agreed to dispense with debate. Mr. Suth- erland moved the seating of Messrs. Car- roll and Barnes and Mr. Wilson (Del.) made a similar motion for Messrs. Bliss and Kruger. At 12:20 the roll was called and resulted in a refusal to seat Bliss and Kruger (anti-Platt men). Secretary Burke, in response to a re- quest, proceeded to verify the rollcall. Meanwhile, two votes were changed, and the final result as announced was ayes 22, noes 25. Mr. Hahn moved that both delegates be seated with a half vote each. Coffee and sandwiches were brought at 12:40 A. M. Debate was inaugurated and the com- mittee settled down for a siege. Notwith- standing the lateness of the hour, crowds besieged the doors of the banqueting ball, and in the rotunaa and lobbies upstairs and down the interestand excitement was intense. Mr. Hahn’s motion to give each delegate a half vote was carried—ayes 27, noes 23. 21, Mr. Sutherland then gave up all other contests in the Thirteenth and Fifteenth districts and proposed that the contestees and contestants in each be seated with a half vote. This was defeated, ana a roll- call was demanded. The committee voted 7 ayes to 39 noes on the question of seating the otherdouble delegations, with a half vote each. :45 A. M. the committee took up the contest in the Thirteenth Néw York Dis- trict, where William Brookfield and Gen- eral Anson McCook (McKinley), claimed to be the regular delegates, and were chal- lenged by John Reisenmeher and Alex- ander T. Mason (Mortonites). The case was opened with a detailed statement by General McCook, who claimed that the convention thai nomi- natea him consisted of 169 delegates and that the selection was by acclamation. Congressman Quigg followed in behalf of the Morton delegates, and those who, in Hanna’s hanabook, have second eference indicated as ‘‘Reed.” He also gave his version of the splitin the district, and presented papers to show that the ion which nominated McCook and Brookfield was composed of but 183 out of the 335 elected. After Mr. Lauterbach had supplementea the presentation of Mr. Quigg, the com- mittee went into secret session, and Mr. Sutherland of New York admitted that General McCook and Mr. Brookfield had made out their case, and consequently mov d that they be seated. Mr. Fessenden seconded the motion, and the anti-Platt ates were placed on the roll by s mous vote. \t 2:30 A. M. the Fifteenth District con- was called for hearing. cfore the case was gone into, Mr. °s of Kentucky complained that Mr. sauterbach had been grossly insulted vhile leaving the room in a way which, under other circumstances, would have ustified a forcible retaliation, and he asked that all strangers be excluded. Sen- ator Carter ordered the sergeant-at-arms to enforce the rule. ; Subsequently it was stated that a Mr. an of New York was the offender, and herland demunded to know if he still in the room. General Collis, who said he knew him by sight, vouched that he was not present, and the chairman gave orders that the offender should not again be allowed to enter. In the Fifteenth District contest case those claiming to be the sitting delegates were General T. H. Collis and Robert J. Wright (McKinley) and the contestants Joseph Murray and David Friedson (Morton). Counsetlor Spooner of New York opened the case of the Collis delegation and Con- gressman Quigg replied, charging that the employes of the Department of Public Works, of which General Collisis Commis- sioner, took possession of the convention, excluded many of the regular delegates and ran the convention, with the aid of the police, to suit themselyes. In closing for the Platt delegates Mr. Lauterbach asked the committee to do his party justice and it would do justice to the Republican party. 3 He had been told it would be useless for him to appear with the badge which he wore (pointing to the Morton insignia), but he did not believe it. In the convention next Tuesday he would not be recreant to his trust. He de I would be true to the Governor of New York, but on Wednesday night he and his great organization would take off their coats and work for the nom- inee of the convention, and if they were given fair play they would return fair play in November. [Loud applause.] Mr. Spooner reviewed the entire case for General Collis, and the contestants re- tired. At 3:20 A. M. the committee again went into secret session. Mr. Sutherland moved the seating of Joseph Murray and David Friedson, the Morton delegates. Powell Clayton moved that General Collis and Mr. Wright (Mc- Kinleyites) be given recognition. At 3:35 the Collis delegates were seated —ayes 28, noes 16. The result was received in the lobby with groans and cheers. On motion of General Powell Clayton, the sergeant-at-arms was instructed to jssue tickets to the contested delegates whose names have been placed upon the roll. These tickets will admit them from day to day only until their cases are disposed of. At 3:40 A, M. a motion to adjourn was voted down, and the last remaming con- test—tbat in the Sixth North Carolina District—was taken up. With little argument the committee de- cided to seat the regular delegates, J. W. Mullen and Joseph B. Dudley (col- ored), instructed for McKinley and the contestants—R. B. Russell (colored) and J. M. Smith (preferences for Allison) with half vote each, and at 3:50 A. M. an ad- journment was taken until Monday morn- ing. Japan Strengthening Her Navy. LONDON, ExG., June 13.—The Japanese Government has ordered four ironclads, four first-class and two second-class cruis- ers from shipbuilders on the Clyde and Tyne. 1t is said that orders for two_sec- ond-class cruisers have been placed by Japan in America and that several tor- pedo-boats will - be puilt in French and German yards. FREAKS OF THE GERMAN RULER, He Now Parades in His British Admiral’s Uniform. AN ENGLISH SURPRISE. Friendly Demonstration Not in Keeping With Recent Antagonism. THE PRESS DOES NOT APPROVE. Stories of an Anglo-German Under- standing With Regard to Egypt and Northeastern Africa. [Copyright, 1896, by the New York Times.] LONDON, Exa., June 13.—Nothing has surprised Englishmen more for a long time than this week’s discovery that the German Emperor is once more parading his British admiral’s uniform and tele- graphing for British consumption about blood being thicker than water. It is evident enough that his present cue is to restore alaity between Berlin and London, and that this must be so was pointed out in these dispatches in April last. But national friendship cannot be so lightly made and unmade by merely changing one’s clothes and filling up a telegraph-blank. The people of Germany and England intuitively disiike each other, and the press of the two countries has greatly enjoyed the improved opportunity for saying so which last January’s partial rupture afforded. It is not too easy now to call the editorial packs off. Yesterday, for example, at the conference of Colonial Chambers of Commerce, one of the speakers let himself go in an attack on | German traders and their methods, de- seribing them as ‘‘cuckoos of commerce,” | and the applause nearly brought down the roof. On the other hand German papers have been literally subsisting for the past six months on abuse of England and things English. It was in deference to their viru- lent clamor that the Emperor abandoned his notion of visiting Cowes this year, and only with the greatest difficulty were they coaxed into a semblance of polite silence on the subject of the visit of the British naval architects to Berlin. This result was achieved, indeed, only & day or two before the arrival of the guests. Up to that time it was being publicly said that they should never nave been invited, and that their coming to spy out German naval secrets was an outrage. However, the Kaiser was able to turn the visit itself to amiable uses, and the architects are writ- ing home that he is a wonderful young man, who has been grievously misunder- stood in England. They even say that he may now come te Cowes after all. This fits perfectly with a story which has been taking shape during the week to ranged a comprehensive understanding on the subject of Northeastern Africa. Itis believed that a bargain has beer. made by which Germany is to purchase Italy’s ter- ritories on the Red Sea littoral, and also take over her claim to suzerainty further inland. On the other hand it is said that England after reconquering the Soudan is to buy it of Egypt for her own, and there is presumed to be no longer any Ger- man opposition to its acquirement by the British; also of that famous vertical strip of Congo State territory, which is needed to make a straight red line from one end of Africa to the other. This statement of an African deal comes from very good sources, which I feel bound to credit. Probably it has only been defi- nitely arranged within the past fortnight or so, which would account for the vague, hand-to-mouth falsehoods told in Parlia- ment by officials about the Soudanese ex- vedition. The truth seems to be that they started it before they knew surely where they stood and that they were forced to lie from week to week until something definite was arranged. Now at last Salisbury feels free to admit that the conquest of the whole Soudan is his purpose. Such an admission two months ago would almost have driven the Ministry from power. Now after Kitchener’s splendid stroke at Ferkel and especially if it becomes known that there is an all-round bargain with Germany no important opposition will be offered here, As .was suspected .would be the case Balfour’s overlarge majority has proved too powerful for his lady-like driving and it is now plunging about on its own ac- count—not without danger that he himself may get trampled on in the process. He gave a public promise on the Thursday to suspend the midnight rule the next even- ing, but on ¥riday he was forced by signs of a Tory mutiny to announce that he would not do so. His serried rows of Tory bucks cheered this announcemept up- roariously, but their shouts must have had a painful sound in Balfour’s ears. They signalized nothing but his personal defeat by his own followers. No leader of the House ever accepted such humiliation from his own party before, but it will be surprising it Balfour does not find the éx- periences thrust upon him at every turn. He is practically at a deadlock in parlia- mentary business, chiefly because of the amendments to the education bill which his own side of the House piled up. Inhis extremity he has called a meeting of the party for Monday, at which, for the first time, the Liberal Unionists will also at- tend to listen to his appeal for a with- drawal of these smendments. There is, I am told, a faint chance for the Irish land bill to get through, desvite the embarrassments incident to the sepa- ration of the Irish party into three camps. The Irish members are acting ' wisely about the matter, and if the measure fails it will not be the fault of their rank and file nor of Healey or Redmond, who have parliamentary knowledge and talent, but’ Dillon is a dead weight to carry. As time is all important in the matter, a meeting of Dillon’s party, he being in the chair, formally resolved the other day to limit all their speeches to ten minutes; but the first time thereaiter that Dillon spoke he used up thirty-five minutes, and even then he had to bealmost pulled down by his people. That historic newspaper, the Nation, which was incorporated four years ago with the Irish Catholic under stress of misfortune, has been revived asa | separate individuality and has again re- eftect that Germany and England have ar- | appeared as a weekly in Dublin. It is, of course, an out-and-out Healey paper, and its already huge country subscription list shows which way the Wwind is blewing in Ireland. Americans seem to have taken Chamer- lain’s imperial Zoilverein speech too seri- ously. Asto whether he himself believes in the scheme I would not like to hazard a guess, but it is certain that nobody else does, either here or in the colonies, whose assent would be necessary. The explanation of his fervency on the subject lies in the fact that his Transvaal sensation has meuunblf' petered out, and he finds it insufferable to lapse into the background for even the briefest period. Acting on Healey’s advice ‘the front-bench Liberals have decided to spring a motion for the adjournment of the House on the Government on Monday in order, if possible, to commit Balfour to a declaration of policy in Commons busi- ness before the meelinf of his party. Althcugh the general public has tempo- rarily exhausted its interest in anarchist outrages and does not care how many peo- ple are blown up at Barcelona, I under- stand that the police of various European countries have been exchanging a lot of views on the subject during the present week and that a project has been devised for a combined note of the powers to Spain, if it has not already been drafted and delivered. The police say that the recent series of explosions in Spain pre- sents the peculiarity that a different kind of bomb s used in each, and on this fact try to base the theory that an executive group of international conspirators is con- ducting practical experiments in order to settle which explosive is the best. A bill is to be introduced in the Cortes next week and forced through both houses with dispatch so as to be in force by the end of July, which it is hoped will break up the nests of desperadoes lodeed in the north and eastof the peninsula. They are largely foreigners, refugees from France, Italy and Russia, who have taken advantage of the administrative chaos in Spain to settle there and carry on the dynamite business, but apparently there is to be a serious and determined effort at last to clear them out. A good deal of excitement was stirred up in Germany at the beginning of this week by news of a particularly interesting quarrel which took place atthe banaouet given by the German colony in Moscow to the visiting German Princes. The princi- pal figure in the incident was Prince Louis of Bavaria. He is a man of 50, who in the course of time will be King of Baveria, and who has taken litile pains to dissem- ble the fact that he resents the way in which Emperor William has exaggerated his own position and minimized that of every other potentate in the empize. Prince Louis seized the obportunity given by a clumsy toast to protest ina fierce speech that neither be nor the other non-Prussian Princes there were vassals or courtiers hanging on the Emperor’s favor, but are independent and coequal allies of his. The South German papers have taken up Prince Louis’ words with wild enthusiasm, although the other Princes at the banquet were so frightened that they trooped after Prince Henry of Prussia out of the room. It is officially announced that Louis satis- factorily explaned the episode to the Em- peror and that the incident is closed, but the fact that it struck such a loud respon- sive chord everywhere in Germany out- side of Prussia is not to be forgotten. Jules Simon_ gets a state funeral, but in the official recital of the services entitling him to it there is a quaint omission of perhaps the most important post he ever filied—that of leading member of the Gov- ernment of National Defense in 187L. This is avowedly ignored because mention of it would create a precedent for claiming a public funeral for Henri Rochefort some time, and against this contingency every- body now in power is anxious to proviae. Simon nimseif bad quite lost touch with the present republic, and he was only heurcrof late years because he wascom- pelled to earn his own living up to the very last. His death will be chiefly re- membered because it afforded a peg fora practical joker to hang a bogus telegram from Emperor William upon. Doubtiess this cheeky but amusing canard found its way across the Atlantic. It got into most of the London dailies and was treated as only a little more bewildering than pre- vious imperial effusions. 1f the little group of Toronto University bigots could have foreseen how England, in whose name they professed to act, would take their stupid affront to Goldwin Smith perhaps they would have thought better of their folly. Nothing of late years bas done more than this to increase the instinetive feeling of Englishmen that Canada is the narrowest and least likable of all the colonies and the one toward which they are least attracted asa possible new home. It is perfectly undersiood here tbat Prolessor Smith holds views that are not imperialistic, but the ides of allowing that fact to prevent a tribute to his high personal qualities and notable capacity as a publicist would not occur to anybody here. ublishers and the maragers of circu- lating libraries have been saymng for months back that this is the worst season for fiction that they have ever known, but 1t was only recently that the explanation dawned, on them. It isnot due to hard times, they now say, for manifestly the times are very good, but to the fact that the women are all out riding bicycles, in- stead of lounging about at home reading novels. The papers this morning contain the announcement that mosquitees have actu- ally appeard in Englan@l. A Hertfordshire correspondent writes excitedly to warn the public how to distinguish them from other insects, which is, it seems, by the iength of their proboscis and also by their humming noise, and he gives tobacco steeped in salt vinegar as a remedy for their_bites. He thinks the mosquitoes must have been imported in some cargo of lumber, and he speaks as gravely about the invasion asif lives aepended on it. Aubrey Beardsley is undoubted!y in the last stages of consumption. He is now confined in his chamber, and a friend who saw him the other day describes him as in a hopeless condition.” Acting on thisnews the wise are making as _full collections of his work as possible before the market goes up, for unless they are migtaken this curious and unpleasant young decadent, who will die at 24, is going to take rank in history as one of the half-dozen unique masters of black and white. Mrs. Patrick Campbell Magda does not draw paying houses, and the play 1s to o off on the 20th inst. to make way for an «xceptionally elaborate production of “Tne School for Scandal.” Mrs. Camp- bell’s Lady Teazle, as shown at a recent matinee, is a very striking performance, as Forbes Robertson’s Joseph is known to be, while Fred Terry as Charles, with W il- liam Farren, Cyril Maud and Rose Le- clerq make up a leading cast equal to the best traditions of the Lyceum. Olga Nethersole’s “Carmen’ has been on exhibition for a full week now, and not a dissenting voice is raised to the criticai judement that it is a humiliating and un- w orthy spectacle. She was highly thought of both as a woman and as an actress of promise when she left here for America, and this revelation of where she haslanded in her artistic career afflicts everyboay with a kind of personal grief.

GERMAN UNITY HAS BEEN SHAKEN Opinion of the National Zeitung on the Moscow Episode. PRINCE LUDWIG’S RAGE. Has Caused Intense Sectionél Feeling Throughout the Fatherland. HE INSULTED PRINCE HENRY, But Emperor Williem Dared Not Quarrel With the Future King of Bavaria. —_— BERLIN, GerMANY, June 13.—The inci- dent which occurred at the banquet of the Deutsche Verein in Moscow upon the oc- "vasion of the festivities in connection with the coronation, causing Prince Henry of Prussia, brother of the Emperor and His Majesty’s representative at Moscow, to leave the banquet ball, has raised a great particularist siorm throughout all the southern states of Germany. The origin of the trouble was in the fact, which has already been cabled, that at the banquet given to Prince Henry and the other visit- ing German princes the chairman, in toasting the guests, alluded to the minor German princes as members of Prince Henry'’s suite, whereupon Prince Ludwig of Bavaria arose in a rage before the chairman’s speech was finished and point- ing to tne table said: “We are not part of Prince Henry’s | suite, nor are we vassals of the German | Empire. We are the Emperor's allies, otherwise I am an independent represen- tative of Bavaria.” All Southern Germany is exercised over the affair and the newspapers lament the indiscretion of the chairman or condemn the hasty actions of Princes Henry and | Ludwig. The incident created so much | public excitement that it naturally led to a demand on the part of the Kaiser that | the two princes should explain the matter | in detail, and this, it is understood, has | been done. | * According to the North German Ga- | zette, Prince Ludwig anticipated the Em- peror’s request for an-explanation, stating the exact words of the president of the banquet in proposing the toast to Prince | Henry, in which speech he mentioned the | German princes as having come to Mos- | cow & members of Prince Henry’s suite. | Aguiast this Prince Ludwig protested to | the Kaiser, explaining, as he had declared | to the chairman of the banquet, that he | and the other princes alluded fo were not vassals, but allies, of the Kaiser. All Ger- | mans, Prince Ludwig addea, besides ful- | filling their duty to the Fatherland, ought | not to forget the duties they pwed to their own particular countries. | Prince Ludwig is a man of 50 years of age, and apart from the fact that he is the future King of Bavaria he is of a much weizhtier presence than Prince Henry. Upon the occasion of his declaration at the banquet he is said to bave spoken with great impressiveness and in a manner wherein his meaning tould not be miscon- strued. In concluding its article upon the subject the Gazette curtly states that “‘the incident is closed.” Other semi-official newspapers, how- ever, hint that the Emperor found tothing in Prince Ludwig’s remarks worth quar- reling over, and intimated that Prince Henry's resentment was childish. These papers also state that the Emperor saw Prince Henry in regard to the matter and probably rebuked him, as the Prince left Berlin for Kiel on his return from Moscow without staying in the capital over night. Apart from the official and semi-official newspapers the other Berlin journals are severe in their comments upon the action of Prince Ludwig. TheTageblatt takes so serious a view of the matter as to advocate {the recall of the Prussian Minister from Munich. The National Zeitung expresses sorrow at the spectacle which a prince destined to be King of Bavaria has afforded to| foreigners of the enmities among the Ger- mans. The action of Prince Ludwig in invoking the idea of particularism, the paper declares, has already shaken Ger- man unity. The Vossiche Zeitung recalis the fact that Prince Ludwig ignored the fetes upon the occasion oi the celebration of the Frankfort treaty of peace, but throughout southern Germany the words uttered by Prince Ludwig at the Moscow banquet and reiterated to the Emperor are fernidly acclaimed by the press and public. The Stuttgart Beobachter, in an exhaus- tive article on the subject, says: “It was a great pclitical actand a protest against Prussianism. Prince Ludwig ex- vressed the sentiments of the whole South German siates, and his words will find echo from the forests of Bonemia to the Rhine. It is well that Berlin should know that we will not allow ourselves to be de- graded in the role of Prussia’s satellites.” The speeches made by Prince Alexander von Hohenlohe, son of the Imperial Chan- cellor, in the Reichstag last Monday, in which be attacked the clause of the Gov- ernment trades bill forbidding com- mercial travelers to transact retaii busi- ness, has found support in a remarkable address delivered by the Minister of Finance of the Grand Duchy of Baden, Dr. Bucheuberger, to the Baden Chamber of Deputies. He said in the course of bis speech: “We live, politically and economically, in a period of transition, and we are not yet able to accommodate ourselves to the new order of things; bence so many out- cries for more laws, and new Jaws are bad and make the peo‘ie believein tihe magical effect of legislation. Self-action must re- main superior to State protection.” Following the Parliamentary election last week in the towns of Ruppin and Templin, near Podsdam, in which the Conservative and Agrarian candidate, Herr von Arnim, was defeated by the Rad- ical candidate, who had a majonty of 1300 votes, the Agrarians have me{ with an- other signal defeat in Awbach and Schwabach, the reisinnig candidate heading the poll by a majority of 1700, The Fremdenblatt asserts that Dom Pedro d’Alcantara, the pretender to the Brazilian throne, has been appointed a lieutenant in the Fourth Regiment of Ublans. The Emperor has emphasized his satis- faction at the appointment of Marquis de ‘Noailles as the successor of M. Herbette by granting the new French Embassador an audience without delay. The Marquis arrived in Berlin Wednesday night and | wss received by the Kaiser Thursday after- neon. Prince von Halfel1t-Tachenberg is now mentioned as the successor of Prince von Hohenlohe in the Imperial Chancellerie. The receptions fiiven to the diplomatic corps by Mr. and Mrs. Uhl at the residence of the American Embassador in Thiergar- tenstrasse have been remarkably success- ful, and they have now arran; to give a series of “at homes” for friendsand official callers to take place on Monday. Mrs. J. B. Jackson, wife of the first sec- retary of the Embassy, has gone to Par's on a visit. Dr., Fulcke, German Vice-Con- sul at New York; Count von Geolwz and family and Hon. John Wanamaker and family sailed from Hamburg for New York on Thursday. Once a Plunger, iodney Fiske Dies in Poverty. NEW TO-DAY NEW YORK, N. Y., June 13.—A Re- corder special from Boston says: Rodney Fiske, the famous young millionaire who startled Wall street a few years ago by his wild speculations and who disappeared mysteriously, after squandering bis orig- inal legacy of $1,200,000 and the millions he added to it, is dying in this city pen- niless and dependent upon the hospitality of comparative strangers. The wrecked Napoleon of finance is harbored in the humble residence of Ottie Cunningham, and only disclosed his identity_ when informed that death was near. Young Cunningham became ac- uainted with Fiske at the Candee Rubber ?\'orks mn New Haven, wherc the broken- down millionaire was working as an ordi- nary factory hand. They roomed together, and when Fiske became ill Cunningham brought him to his home in this city. Fiske tells an interesting story of his wanderings all over the face of the earth with his “roll” steadily diminishing and he sinking lower and lower. CANNONADING N CUBM Indications of Fierce Fighting Near the City of Puerto Principe. Rumor That Gomez Has Shot Several of His Subordinates for Vari- ous Offenses. HAVANA, Cuss, Jupe 13.—A heavy cannonading and musketry fire has been heard in the city of Puerto Principe for the last two aays. causing considerable alarm among the residents. 1t is believed that a fierce engagement has been fought between insurgents and a Spanish force of 2000 troops under General Castellano. No definite information in regard to the fight has vet been received. Advices from Puerto Principe state that Gomez, becoming incensed at the conduct of some subordinate insurgent leaders for levying and collecting taxes and export- ing cattle and pocketing the proceeds, ordered them courtmartialed. Two of the culprits were summarily sentenced to death and shot. Several others were de- graded. A council of war was held at the palace last night, being attended by several gen- erals and Captain-General Weyler. It was agreed, in view of the present condition of the country, caused by the rainy season, to modify the plan of campaign. Active operations will be conducted only when they are required in special cases. Pre- | cautions will be taken to protect the towns against attacks. Rebels have made an unsuccessful at- temypt to destroy with dynamite a culvert on the railway near Campo Florida, close to Havana. They also exploded a dyna- mite cartridge under the railway bridge near Duran, Province of Havana. Jose Antonio Yznaga, an American, who has been acting as assistant correspondent for the New York Herald, has been ordered to leave Cuba. TOLEDQ SOCIETY SHAKEN, Divorce Suit Involving Members of the Local Four Hundred. The Irate Husband Whips the Co- respondent at a Resort in the Suburbs. TOLEDO, Omro, June 13.—Two of the most prominent families in Toledo are in- volved in a swit for divorce filed this after- noon by John N. Mockett, a leading cloth- ing merchant here, in which he charges that his wife has been unduly intimate with Frank J. Cheney, the patent medi- cine manufacturer. The basis of the suit is an incident that occurred early this afternoon at a questionable resort in the suburbs, where, Mr. Mockett says—and his statement is corroborated by at least three persons—he found his wife with Cheney. A personal encounter between the two wen followed. in which Cheney, who is a much heavier man, was severely pum- meled by the irate husband. The affair has shaken Toledo society to its founda- tions, ali the parties being members of the local Four Hundred. e e JULES SIMOMNMS OBSEQUIES.
