WANTED DIVORCE AT ONCE
ASKED POLICE CLERK
Young Italian Woman From Bridgeport Was in a
 Hurry.

The magic power which some people attach to the police department was we'll illustrated in this city yesterday afternoon when young Italian girl came into Chief Wrinns office from Bridgeport and told Clerk Arthur V. Phillips to give her a divorce at once She was unable to speak English and was accompanied by young girl who acted as interpreter The young wo- man told the clerk that her husband had deserted her two years ago, six months after her wedding and that she wanted to get a divorce as he had con- tributed nothing to her support.
 The she told him that she lived in Bridgeport and had come to this city to find her husband whom she be- lived was working here. She said she had failed to locate either him or his family.
 The woman said she had been mar rled in this city about two years and a half ago and that her husband had left her after six months. She said her husband had worked at Farnham's and they lived in this city until he deserted her. After that she went to Bridgeport where she is now working.
 Mir. Phillips advised her to see a Bridgeport lawyer if she desired a di- vorce and told her the police here could do nothing for her. The woman said she wanted divorce at once but it was explained to her that it would take a long time.

FIRE ON WARD LINER MONTEREY IS REACHED
Excitement Among Passen- gers But Nothing Like
 a Panic.

New York, July 5.-While the Ward line steamer Monterey, Captain smith, which arrived tonight from Vera Cruz, Progreso and Havana, was being inspected by the health officer at Quarantine, dense volumes of smoke suddenly poured from the fore hold, where 300 bales of hemp and quan- tity of sugar and wood were stored,
 Captain Smith summoned the crew to quarters; the fore matches were bat tered down, and within ten minutes four streams of water were pouring in- to the hold.
 Meanwhile, the smoke was so dense that it was impossible to get into the chain locker to weigh anchor, and the anchor with 75 fathoms of chain was slipped while the steamer was headed for the mud flats off Clifton landing, where she was beached. The captain did not summon assistance but relying on the steamers fire fighting apparatus, which proved sufficient The fire was discovered at seven o'clock and was uuu6T 'COHbI0i JWO IuulS iotVAs
 Late tonight the Monterey was rest ing easily, her bow well submerged and her fore hatch flooded. It is probable that nearly all the cargo in No. 1 hatch has been greatly damaged by fire and water.
 The steamer had on board 120 pas sengers, 76 in the saloon, S2 second cabin and F steerage. Among these there was considerable excitement for time, but nothing approaching a panic Soon after the steamer ground ed, the passengers were taken off by tugs which had stood by when the blaze was discovered Of the passen- gers S7 were transferred to the Ward line pier in this city by the Quarantine tug, Governor Fowler; g of the second cabin and steerage were removed to Hoffman Island for observation while 1s remained on board the Monterey. They will be taken off in the morning, l Among these were P. Le Faivre and Dr. B. Von Humbracht, respectively French and German ministers to Cuba.

LARGE SECOND LOAN
Jamestown Exposition Company Elects
 J. M. Barr Director General.


 Norfolk, July 5.-The board of dIrec- tors of the Jamestown Exposition com pany tonight adopted the report of the conference committee, formally electing James M. Barr director-gen eral if the exposition. MT. Barr is given absolute power, and he is to name such other departments as he may deem necessary.
 It was decided to retain the board of governors merely in an advisory ca pacity to MT. Barr.
 The stockholders of the Exposition company tonight authorized the board of directors to place a second mortgage on the companys property to cover a second loan, understood to be for $325,- GOO. The original loan desired was $450,O00, on which first mortgage will be given as security.
 It was declared that the two loans aggregating $75OG0O will cover all of the outstanding obligations of the com pany and put it on it's feet. The di- rectors expect no trouble in placing the two loans. It is also believed that MT, Barr will accept the directorship on the terms offered, A committee was named by the directors 10 wait on him to secure his acceptance. A committee was named to read1ust the salaries of the board of governors who now receiver $2,7OO per month. It is expected that their salaries will be largely reduced,
 A report submitted showed the sal- ary list of the company was S36 6OOO and that forty per cent reduction al- ready had been made.

possible way. It already provides good service, probably better than in most of the cities of the United States. The company knew of some drawbacks which 1t Is trying to remedy and has certain things in mind which in two or three years will give as good service as there is anywhere.
 All the company asks, he said, Is fair play, and the right of any common man U defend himself when charges are preferred against him. When the com- pany is attacked, it is not consulted. Any suggestion from the public is gladly received and carried out, when all considered, it will benefit the peo- ple
 One benefit the road has in mind is the express service from New Haven to Waterbury. One experiment of this kind is now going on between this city and Woodmont. Another improvement planned is the selling of through tic- ct from one city to another, thus doing away with the five cent fare,
 The matter of expense, he said, IS not to be considered by the company in carrying ut any Improvements. The company is handicapped in many ways, especially in the matter of get ting permission to double-track. As soon as permission is granted the dou- ble- tracking will be pushed along as rapidly as possible.
 The inspection of the route yester- day was upon the invitation of A. $. Smith, general traffic manager of the trolley lines, who was accompanied by ! General Manager ]. K. Punderford, w. IG.

 When questioned about the wherea- bouts of the balance of the money miss ing from the bank-the sum lost was said to be more than s96.00O-he stated that he had been speculating and had lost heavily, and intimated that Mrs. Carter might know something about any money that was missing. Mrs. Carter indignantly denied that she had any of the money, and angrily told Runyan that she had betrayed him to the police because he had lied to her and had not given her money as he had promised.
 Runyan stated that he had given Mrs. Carter s15,OoO, but this she denied ETIe said he gave her sS,oto on Monday and $10,OOO this morning. Mrs. Carter said that he gave her s5. 900 on Monday but that she withdrew 1t from the bank this morning and returned 1t to him.
 It also developed that Runyan gave l Mrs. Carter a heavy gold bracelet and a diamond ring on Saturday evening These were valued at st000. The brace. let was on Mrs carter's wrist at tho time of Runyan arrest, and is now 1T the possession of the police.
 Mrs. Carter was closely questioned by the police as to her acquaintanc, with Runyan. She said that she frs met him on the street and had met hin several times after that
 Finally, she said, he agreed to fur nish @ flat for her and give her $50 ; week. The flat was secured and sh moved in two weeks ago. After that she said, she saw little of Runyan un til last Saturday, and he had given he little money.

 The opinion is that under ordinary cruising seas which for the big bat tleships means about 10 or 12 knots an hour. and allowing a reasonable time for coaling en route, the Atlantic fleet can make the passage from New York to San Francisco in less than 60 days. It Is conceded that Rear Admiral R. D. Evans will command the fleet in this great movement, as it is known by his friends that he would like to wind up his active ca reer by safely conducting around the American continent the greatest fleet of warships ever gotten together in these waters. ~Al
 It is believed now that the sailing route of the ships will be about as follows: Leaving New York or Hampton Roads in the early fall, the battleships would probably steam to Culebra, where coal would be taken on. The next stop will be Rio de Janeiro and the next Saney Point in the Straits oa Magellan. Here again the coal supply would be replenished

 The phonograph war has been waged through the courts for many years. It Is alleged that, although the National Monograph company, one of the Edi- son concerns, was ordered by the court not to sell the photographs or supplies in this state, the dealers were encour- aged to do so. The New York Phono- graph company maintains 1t purchased the sole right to sell Edison machines and records in this state.
 Justice Keogh granted an injunction on June 25 restraining the Edison con cerns from selling in the state. The Edison interests appealed, and the case was argued last Wednesday before Jus tice Keogh who announced his decision to-day at his home in New Rochelle.
