Countess CaStelIans Enters Plea For
Divorce.
THE TRIAL MAY BE DELAYED.
Futile Efforts OF the French Judge to Arrange

Mother.

Paris (By Cable) Counties Boni de
Castellane, formerly Anna Gould. enter
ed plea for divorce. Representatives
Oh the Countess and the Count appeared
before Judge Henry Ditte, of the Court
OF FIRST Instance, who, in conformity with
the French law, endeavored to arrange a
ooncllliation before allowing a definite
Suit 10 proceed. 1t is said on unquestion
aoie authority that Judge Ditte's efforts
were not successful, the Countess abso-
'utely declining to resume her relations
WIN her husband, and that after repeat
ed out vain attempts by Count de Castel-
Iane advisers to arrange Il settlement
tne representatives Of the Count and
Countess left the court and that the suit
will proceed. 'N ''''
Another judicial effort at reconcilia-
tion will almost certainly be made before
the suit come to trial in the ordinary
course
No decision has been reached relative
to the eventful custody Of the children
OF the Count and Countess, but thev
being under age, will for the present ma
turally remain in the care of their
mother.
Friends of the Count and Countess
de Castellane express little thope that
any adjustment of their differences will
be brought about, but as divorce pro-
ceedings under the French law are very
lengthy, new developments may occur
before the case comes up for trial. A de-
cree cannot be pronounced from three
10 six months.
Rumors have been current for a long
time that the Countess had decided that
any further continuation of her relations
with her husband was impossible and her
removal from the Castellane residence
to hotel in the center of Paris gave
support TO the belief that she had finally
decided TO appl- for a divorce. Sensa-
uonal reports have been circulated with
reference to the Counts conduct and the
name OF prominent society leader of
Paris, woman of high standing. has
been mentioned in connection with the
affair But the greatest reticence has
been maintained by ali the parties con-
cerned relative to the progress of the ne
gotiationS looking to a reconciliation. and
even this morning a favorable result
was expected, especially as the Countess
returned to her residence. The Count
is said to be in the southeast of France.
