ALONE SEEKS LOST “PRINGESS” BRE Young Andrews and Former “OMrs. Hayne Parted While Honeymooning in London. SHE RETURNED FIRST. His Pather’s Agent May Have! Seen Her—He Visits Her Studio in Vain. " From surface indications st would @ppear that Donald Shields Andrews, % wealthy young Yale senior who! @acrificed his collegiate future by marrying Mrs. Alma V. Hayne, the “Princess Veteera,” has mislaid his Spouse, Certainly young Mr. An- drews, who returned from England on the Orduna yesterday, does not know where she is. Late last night he appeared at No. | 24 West Fifty-ninth Street, where bis wife maintained 4 studio before ho married her and sailed away with her to Europe on May 15. The bridegroom | ‘Waa in an emotional state of mind. He demanded that the c'>vator men and the superintendent produce his wife | forthwith. He declaréd he knew she Was in the building and it took con- @iderable finesse to persuade him that She had not been seen since her mar- riage to him. From remarks dropped by the bridegroom, it was inferred that he Was bereft of his beautiful better half} in London about ten days or two! weeks ago, shortly after a person| supposed to have been sent by And-| rews sr. arrived in London. To some} friends Mr. Andrews has said since his return that he left his wife ia London; to others he has said she parted with him on the dock at Liver- pool. And last night at the Fifty- ninth Street studio building he in- sinuated that she returned from Eu- Tope on the St. Paul or’ the Cymric, which arrived Sunday. Young Mr. Fn fe at the Hotel Vanderbilt. He refused to discuss his domestic affairs for publication to-day. The young bridegroom went to din- ner last night with a man consider- ably older than himself. It has been intimated that Matthew Andrews of Cleveland, his father, who was dis- pleased when his son so sudaenty} married the young woman at Mamu- roneck, April 26, had sent a friend to Europe to admonish him. It w: id at the time of the rar-| riage that young Andrews had bro!:en his engagement to @ Cleveland girl—| a chum of Mrs. Hayne—to marry the latter. His parents disapproved the marriage and Mrs, Andrews did ull she could to prevent it, even to extent of employing detectives to 1 | young Andrews in his room and hold him until she got here to enter 4 teat. She took him back to New Haven, returned to nis qt rO- but he eluded *her, Princess and they were married, was reported afterward, just bef. they eailed “to work for the allies, that the Andrewses had forgiven him. “They just did not like the way we id it,” the bridegroom explained at ‘the time. In an interview given before her marriage Mrs. Hayne sald: “I am the natural daughter of the dead Crown Prince Rudolph of Aus- tria and of Baroness Marie Yetser: ‘whom he loved but could not marry. “Phe world knows the story of their Jove and of their sad deaths in 1869. Both were suicides, Marie being found dying on a couch covered with flowers, the Prince dead beside her. “My son Rudolph,” she sald, “is the natural heir to the throne of Aus- ria, but no claim for it will ever be made on his behalf. He is to be an American citizen, nothing more.’ —_-_-_——— Wyoming Husband Guilty. After reading a large number of depo- @itions taken in the West, Justice Ar- thur S.

SAYS WIFE NAGGED HIM FROM 175 LBS. T0 105 This Treatment Going on Twenty Years, Says Gerhold, Who Now Seeks a Divorce. ° Charles Gerhold of Clifton, N. J. ‘Treasurer of the New Jersey Manu- facturers’ Association, who is trying to divorce his wife Minnie, swore to- day in Vice Chancellor Griffin's court in Jersey City that she has nagged him for more than twenty years, The Gerholds were married in 1892 and have a daughter, Lilllan, whe ts |twenty-two years old. Mr. Gerhold said that the nagging began soon after marriage and reached full swing in 1905, During that year, he said, his wife so per- sistently nagged him that his weight shrank from 175 pounds to 105 pounds and his doctors told him that if he didn’t get a change of air, scene and conversation he would die. A year away from his wife, he ssid, sufficed | to restore his weight | ‘The pair have made numerous at-| tempts to live together, Gerhold said, but his wife's temper will not per- mit, They have been separated for a considerable time and he has been ing her an allowance. Vice Chan- ior Griffin adjourned the case, say- | ing he wanted to hear from the wife, | who was not in court, — MASHERS TO WORKHOUSE. of Two Who Women at Bronx Park Monkey Sentence Annoyed House, Sentencing two monkey house “mashers’ to the workhouse for six months ut hard labor, Magistrate House | in the West Farms Court this morning expressed the wish that the law would permit him to make the sentence six | years instead, ‘The men were arrested | when jostling women in a crowd in |front of the monkey cages in Bronx | Park on Sunday, u of the prisoners, . twenty-elaht, of Ni ‘sixth Street, Harotien manded ‘that the woman he was al- Teged to have annoyed be brought into court, The Magistrate sald that it was practically impossible to Brees complaints of | thie character, other prisa Boise. twenty- “YOU TAKE tm [ THE BILTMORE,” VOLGK 10 WIFE Suggestion Made After Wife Found Him Dining With Another Woman. SEPARATION SUIT ON. Cruelty Charged by Woman Who Says Husband Locked Her In. “Kindly leave me the Biltmore to live and dine & T'll leave you the Ritz, etc. I don't iike to meet you in public. It hurts me.” ‘This is part of a letter written by Morris Roderick Volck to his wife after she had found him dining with another woman in the same room at the Biltmore where she was giving 8 little luncheon to some girl friends. In view of What the letter said, and in view of quite a number of other things, the young husband was sum- moned yesterday to appear in a sult for separation. It is only a short time ago that young Volck, whose mother is now Mme. Dominico de Gama, wife of the Brazilian Ambassador at Washington, got into the newspapers because he came home after a long absence and kept his wife cut off from the world in their apartment at No. 11 East Sixty-eighth Street until Mrs, Volck managed to get her father, Jabish Holmes, No, 114 East Seventy-eighth Street, on the telephone and he scared his son-in-law out of the place with a writ of habeas corpus. At the time of the habeas corpus In- cident Volck issued a statement that a reconciliation had been effected, but there seems to be some mistake about that, because when he again returned unexpectedly to the apartment yester- day his wife promptly packed up and left. As soon as it was learned that Volck was back home again the sum- mons in the separation proceedings was served on him by a representative ot Edfhund L. Mooney, No. 41 Wall Street, attorney for Mra. Volck. The complaint will not be filed until Volck gives notice of appearance. He has twenty days in which to do this, and his attornéy, John Delahanty, No. 32 Nassau Street, stated to-day that he had not yet heard from his client as to what steps he would take in the action his wife has begun. Cruelty, desertion and failure to support are the charges on which the action is based, and one of the hits of evidence which may be offered to how the husband's attitude toward his wife is the letter quoted above. It was written at the Biltmore June nd reads: "Dear Elise: In the first place, when writing to a gentleman one at least puts ‘Esq.’ on the envelope. In the second place, you might at least write ‘My Dear Morris.’ If you want to be so short with me, perhaps you would like it better if I stopped all communication with you, even to re- fraining from sending you any moro Daring Milwaukee Girl Wikies Wager by Driving Team of Pigs sean Salen sited Miele: cancin ten seals Venice, Oal., by driving a team of pigs for a mile along the ocean front, while attired in a scanty bathing costume. the owner and trainer of the novel team and took the ride behind them on & wager. iP gimaweny 7 ONE DAY'S WORK ‘OF BOLD GUNMEN IN NEW YORK CITY Three Bandits in Holdup, Detective Shot and Bad Man Caught With Pistol.

Because New York taxpayers have dug deep into their pockets for war and other relief funds during the past year, Mayor Mitchel thinks the Board of Aldermen ought to go light on its Independence Day appropriation, Last year the board appropriated $26,000 for the decorations, music, freworks and ceremonies, In a message to the board to-day the Mayor says $10,000 ought to be enough for this purpose, “It has been the custom in the past years for your honorable body to make an appropriation for the bd servance of Independence Day,” the Mayor's message to the Board. “This year, notwithstanding there {i undoubtedly a peculiar significance attached to the celebration of the signing of the Declaration of Inde- pendence, I do not belteve that the city should be called on to contribute as large an amount as in years past.

The Mayor's conference with the Aldermanic committee lasted less than an hour, Upon adjournment the Mayor announced that the committee would confer with strike officials later in the day. At this conference the Mayor, it was said, would make the flat sug-| ® gestion that the unton officials meet with the traction magnates. Regard- less of the attitude of the strikers, the Aldermanic committee will put the same proposition up to the officials of the street railway com- panies. The second day of the strike saw attempts to Increase service on the elevated lines and two acts of vio- lence in connection therewith, One South Side train was made the tar- wet of a big plank thrown from a fire escape, and another one had a window smashed by a brick thrown from a roof, A small but apparently inc ng number of passengers were carried over the fourteen- mile route from the north to the south sides, No témpt to run surface care was made. Police continued on guard at the car barns throughout the city to-day to prevent trouble, A mild sensation, the first since the strike was declared, was caused to- brother who Is serving a five year term. ‘The plea of Gondorf to-day wound up the activities of the “Gondorft Boys” and the Gondorf gang. Fred Gondorf, in consideration of being al- lowed to plead and having his plea cover five indictments standing against him, pledged himself never to engage in the “wire” game again. Two other members of the gang, James Fitzgerald, known in the Ten- dertoin as “Old Fits” and Charles Henderson will, it is expected, follow Gondorf's example and t & plea. Gondort was placed on trial yester- day on an Indictment charging biin and others with enticing William J. O'Reilly, @ Toronto contractor, to a fake poolroom in West Forty-seveath Street and swindling him of $17,500 by getting him to bet the money on a horse which it was represented to him, had already won. Lemuel Ely Quigg was counsel in| chief for Gondorf. Eight jurymen wore secured yesterday. Last night the jurors were locked up in the Biltmore Hotel under the guard of Central Of- fice detectives, Mr. Quigg conferred at length last night with his client and at the opening of court to-day suld he had @ proposition to make, There was 4 conference between Quigg, District Attorney Perkins and his assistant, Mr, O'Malley and Gon- dort. The confidence man insisted that he did not rob O'Reilly, He sald that in the O'Reilly case he was “framed up” by detectives, who J.) steered the Toronto man up Broad- way until they saw him and then engineered the arrest. “That one = sucker trimmed,” asserted Gondorf. “I don’t believe he was trimmed at all. If he was I never heard of it until I was arrested. 1 won't plead guilty in that case because I am innocent, but I am willing to take @ plea on some other indictment,” Finally Gondorf said he would plead lity to getting $3,500 of $8,000 which the gang took away from William F. Davis, an Absecom, N. J., hotel keeper, in 1912, The other indictments were dropped. The maximum puniah- ment for the crime to which Gondorf pleaded guilty is ten years’ imprison- ment. Inspector Faurot and District At- torney Perkins professed themselves as highly pleased at the outcome of the prosecution of Fred Gondorf. Be- cause the victima of the ‘“wire-tap- ping” game were invariably looking for @ chance to cheat a supposedly innocent bookmaker it was impos- ble for many years to get the ‘suckers to prosecute, They feared exposure, and that fear was helped along by members of the gang, who, posing aa —nawspaner reporters an‘ detectives, woul visit them and frighten them into keeping quiet un- der threats of publicity, There are indictments against Gon- dort and other members of the « elsewhere. It is probable that these will be dropped.

Big signs advising of the destina- tion and charge for ries were posted on motor buses, ice wagons, motor driven coal wagons, furniture trucks, and thousands of “Jitneys’ which continued a rushing business, The standard price for being carried two miles or more was ten cents if one stood. Where improvised seats were provided 15 and 25 cents was charged. Railroads which operate suburban service were unable to handle the crush of passengers, although many trains were added to the schedules, It was estimated that more than 600,- 000 persons were carried on steam roads yesterday, approximately a 60 ness.
