VATICAN |NTERFEREs
FOR RECONCILIATION
OF D0N| AND WIFE
Count de Castellane Heeds Ec.
clesiasiical Advice and
Lessons Demands.
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.

ROME, June 1S.-It is rumored in
Vatican circles that the authorities of
the church have succeeded in bringing
about a partial reconciliation between
Count Boni de Castellane, recently re-
elected to the French Parliament, and
his wife who was Miss Anna Gould OF
New York.
The marital troubles of the couple,
which have been ventilated for more
than four months have given much
concern at the Vatican because of the
church interests in the Catholic educa-
ton of the Counts two children and
the possibility that if a divorce be
granted by the French courts the Count
might cause scandal by remarrying.
The Vatican authorities therefore
have done all in their power to bring
about reconciliation. and Cardinal
Richard Archbishop of Paris, and other
prelates were instructed to use their
good offices to that end.
According to Vatican gossip, the
Count will now consent to renounce the
administration of the Countess per-
sonal property. to which, according to
French law, he had absolute right, and
will agree to the appointment of a
special administrator, who will see that
the Countess property Is not so law
ishly scattered as it has been in the
past.
