WIFE BLAMES
DIVORCE ON
POLITICS
Defending Husbands Suit
Woman Tells Of His
Cruelty.

Annie Collins, wife of Thomas S
Collins, a Freehold politician and
former %hotelkeeper of that place,
through Lawyer John P. Lloyd, APP
peared before Vice-C Chancellor Emery
today and asked that she be given
the privilege of being heard in the di-
vorce proceedings instituted by her hus
band several months ago.
The wife was Their charged, in the
papers filed by her husband, with be-
ing addicted to drink, and that she
deserted him and had an ungoverna-
BILE temper. When the papers were
served on her she was amazed to learn
of her husbands intentions and his
charges.
Today, through her lawyer, she re-
futed the accusations by several aft
davits. She alleges that in 1900 her
husband was a prosperous hotelkeeper.
Her life was a smooth one, and she was
happy. Then In 1901 a change cams
over her husband. lie dabbled in Free
hold politics and neglected his bust
ness. Finally, the wife says, her hus-
band became a drunkard and his hote
business dwindled away until he finally
lost it.
Mrs. Collins swore that the reputation
of her husband became so bad that
when he sought to have a renewal of
his hotel license he was refused. This
period started the troubles, as narrated
by Mrs. Collins. Her husband would
come home and chase her and her two
children out of the house. On one
occasion he seized a chair, she swears,
and brought it down on her head. On
- l-t-l- - -. -
Mrs. C%eIlins's affidavit covers many
pages, and in it she declares that fire.
quently, after being forced to fee from
her home, she would go back expect
ing her husbands old love for her to
return and hoping that he would re-
pent of his way, but this never ma
terialized. Instead, Collins would re-
new his attack. Finally, one day after
chasing his wife and family out and
they had gone to Mrs. Collins's mother
the husband followed and there he
told her never 10 come back to his
home, and she hasn't rome back.
When Vice-Chancellor Emery read
his affidavit, with others ~corroborat-
ing Mrs. Collins, he decided that an
other aspect had been given to the
case.
Ruloff v. Lawrence, counsel for the
husband, was apparently taken back
by this sudden change of affairs in the
wife's favor, and Mr.. Lloyd, the OPP
posing counsel. followed up his aft
davits by a request that Mrs. Collins
be given $40 a week for her and the
children's support until the final de
cree was granted.
Mr.. Lloyd claimed that Collins's
gross annual earnings were $3.50, and the
vice-chancellor decided that he would
give this part of the case immediate
attention.

OLD RESIDENT.
DEAD
Was Inventor of Railroad
Devices aud Highly Es-
teemed for Integrity.

In the death of Chandler c. Coats
at his late home, SO Spruce street,
! shortly after 9 o'clock last night, New
ark lost not only one of its oldest and
most prominent citizens, but one of its
most honorable benefactors. Although
in advanced years, Mr.. Coats had the
welfare of the community and its peo-
pie at heart. He was esteemed for his
integrity. ability and honesty and
strong personal character.
Born at Newton, in Sussex County, in
1925, and educated in the schools there,
he met with success. In politics he took
pride in claiming that he was a Sus-
sex County Democrat, and since his
arrival in this city he has always sup
ported Democracy. Several years age
his only son was a candidate for mem
Der of the Board of Works on the
Democratic ticket, n while not elect
ed, mad an excellent run.
He is William G. Coats, and was at
one time a captain in the Seventh Regi-
ment, New York Volunteers.

William C. Warner, Mrs. Henry C.

Company, which later became a part of
the PENNSYLVANIA Railroad. Mr.. Coats

years ago. when he ended forty-three
years of active service with the COM

from one end of the line to the other.
He was the inventor of numerous inn
provements now in use by the principal
railroads of this country, including de-
vices which brought about improve
ments to the draw, transfer and ferry
bridges.
Until a few. weeks ago Mr.. Coats
continued to work at several inventions
which will bring about other improve
ments to railroad devices, and had
about finished them when he was called
on to respond to Deaths knell.
When Mr.. Coats and his wife celebrated
their golden wedding five years ago Mr..
Goats was the merriest one in the party
and his relatives and friends were jubilant
at that time over his healthful appearance.
He was a trustee of the Church of the
Redeemer for a quarter of a century and
one of the best known Universalists in this
vicinity. In Masonic circles few were bet
ter known than Mr.. Goats. who was a
member of Newark Lodge, Z. f.. & A. M;
American Chapter, Z, r, A. NJ. Kane Coun-
Gil, r. & S. NJ. and the Damascus Com
.mandery, *. 7.

CHILD LIKELY
TO DIE FROM
BURNS
Bessie Jones, Of Garrison
Street, Set Night Clothes
Afire in Mothers Absence.

Bessie Jones, 5 years old, daughter OF
George Jones. of 116 Garrison street,
was so badly burned at her home about
$3.50 o'clock this morning that her life
is despaired of at st. James's Hospital,
where she was taken soon after the &C
cident.
Her mother had left Bessie and her
3-year-old sister Helen in the kitchen
in their nightclothes while she went
down in the cellar to get a pail of coal
to klndle a fire in the stove.
The mother was on her way back
when she heard Bessie screaming, and
upon opening the door to the kitchen
she saw her standing near the stove,
her clothing ablaze.
Mrs. Jones took q quilt from a bed,
wrapped it around the child and tried
to smother the flames. In doing so she
burned her hands.
Mrs. James Mcbride, who lives in the
same building, responded to Mrs.
Jones's call for help. and the two
women succeeded in putting out the
flames. Mrs. Jones went to Oscar r.
Brugner's pharmacy for medical aid
and called Dr.. William Oberle. of q
Darcy street, to her home.
DR.. Oberle did all that he could to
relieve the sufferings of the child, and
then notified the Third Precinct sta
ton police. The police ambulance was
hurried to the house and the child
quickly removed to the hospital. At
the hospital today 1t was said thai the
GIRL would NOT live. as she had anna
rently inhaled the flames, and was also
badly burned about the body.
Helen, the sister, said hat Bessie
lighted a piece of paper in the stove
after her mother had gone to the cellar,
and then threw the paper on the floor.
The blazing paper, she said. set Bessie's
clothes on fire. Burned paper was
found on the floor near the stove.
