Even the Hours of Visits Are Set Forth in Papers Filed by Plaintiff. ‘Mrs, Sarah A. Rockefeller in a euit for separation from Melvin 0. Rocke- feller mentions the name of Mrs. Anna ‘M. Downs, widow of “Al Downs, May- or’s secretary when Van Wyck was In office. She says that Mrs, Downs called her husband “Daddy” and “Dearie.” before Justice Cohalan. Rockefeller has offices at his home, No, 94 West Fifty-first street. Mrs. Rockefeller says he has become pros- perous lending money to school teachers, letter carriers, policemen, firemen and railroad employes. Her at+ torney ts Henry C, Kayser. ‘The Rockefellers were married in June, 191, ‘he being several years his wife junior. They lived happily, Mrs. Rock- efeller says, until a Mrs. Downs became a frequent visitor in August, 1910, Mra, Rockefeller charges that on Christmas Day, 1910, Mrs, Downs “open- ly flirted’ with her husbahd acrogs the dinner table in Mrs. Downs's home, and that he in turn “courted” their host. DATES SHOW HOW SHE KEPT TABS ON HER HUSBAND. In suport of her charge that Rocke- feller showed Mrs. Downs “marked at- tentions,” Mrs. Rockefeller submits an interesting table of dates and hours on which she says her husband visited Mrs. Downs's home at No. Seventy-sixth street, as follows: ‘Dates in Entered with The whereabouts of Rockefeller and Mrs, Downs prior to entering her home og these dates is known to Mrs. Rocke feller, but ts withheld until the trial of the cage. » Affidavits of Mrs. Downs and her brother Melvitie Dougherty’ are filed in opposition to the wife's motion. In Dougherty's statement an explanation 4s given for Rockefeller's visits to the widow. A roof in the Downs home Needed painting, Mr: Dougherty says, and It was for this purpose that Rocke: feller went to the house, Dougherty Bays Rockefeller's visits were made at her invitation and at times when Mrs. Downs was “largely absent. When she chided Rockefeller for his attentiveness to the widow and _re- buked her for her filrtations, Mrs. Rockefeller says both remarked, “Oh, You're Crazy,” MUTUAL FRIEND SAYS SHE CALLED ROCKEFELLER ‘DADDY.’ Mra. Edna Nichols, a friend of the two families, in an aMdavit says Mrs. Downs used endearing terms toward ‘Rockefeller. The occasion was a card party at Mrs, Nichols's home in March, 1911, when Rockefeller became ill. The theatre—Rockefeller disregarded himself helping Mrs. Downs put on her wraps. It was cus- tomary for Rockefeller to escort his wife home from a function they all at- ata her and busied tended, leave Mrs. Rockefeller at thelr door and take the widow to her residence. It was the time required in this act of courtesy which aroused her suspicions and caused her to play detective on her husband. Mrs. Rockefeller has br ght suit against Mrs, Downs for $50,0, amages, for the alleged allenation o1 Rocke- feller’s affections. re PRESS CLUB AT COLUMBIA. it Studente Name for Pulitzer, Benefactor of Jour As an earnest of their desire to fulfl one of the wishes of Joseph Pulitzer regarding the interest he would like to ee college men take in journalism, the students of Columbia have organized the Pulitzer Press Club.

These are just a few of the senti- ments of Bruce Calvert, sometimes known as: the Thoreau of Indiana, who has come all the way from his home at P! .on-Roost-in-the-Woods to tell us in New York what is the matter with us, He says: 4 f a wall were built around New York City-and it was impossible for you to take your tremendous toll of fresh blood from ‘urope and 9m wt you so ridiculously call “the provinces" of the United States, New York would be a tomb insfde of fifty years, “There would not be so much as one child alive here, for the fourth genera- “It Is the new life from E jfrom the West and South that keeps New York going.

Human beings were intended to be just diffexent, and a ratiopal system of education would take children and de- velop thelr natural differences instead of deforming thelr ‘minds into the same mould,”" Mr. Calvert was sitting in the New York home of what its followers term the rational educational sy.iem, the Francisco Ferrer School at No, 104 Eas: Twelfth street, where he lectured last Sunday.
