New York, Dec. 1. - Frank Jay
Gould, who inherited $10,000,000 from
his father. Jay Gould, and whose
estate has since increased to $16,000,-
600. has asked Justice Seabury of the
supreme court to strike out of the
complaint of his wife, Helen Margaret
Kelly Gould. for absolute divorce sew
eral allegations by which Frank j.
Gould feels aggrieved.
Mr. Gould objects to 1.-THE real es-
tate deed description" of a certain no.,
torious house alleged to have been
visited by Frank Gould at North Sgd
ney. G. b. This description was as
follows:
"a two story frame house, Queen
Anne style Of architecture, the third
or fourth from the corner of the street
that runs from Front street, which
runs along the water front to the rail-
way station, and situate on the second
street west of and running parallel
with Front street and at right angles
with the street from Front street and
the station"
Objection was made to another para
graph, charging improper conduct by|
Gould with woman who is set down.
as Miss -" and to another, alleg-
ing that Frank ]. Gould first met
Miss -" at fashionable restaurant
on Fifth avenue.
Mr.. Gould also objected to a para1
graph charging that Gould had his
valet engage a room adjoining that
occupied by Miss -" on one SideI
and his own on the other and through
which Mr.. Gould had access to the'
apartment of Miss -" and used il
as a passage to her room ION or about
the autumn of December of 1906 OF
January, 1907" on the ground that
what Mr. Gould's agent did could havd
no bearing on the case.
BY the use of the dash in these para|
graphs the names of the correspondents
were kept secret.
There was objection. too, to thu
"blanket paragraph" in which Mrs
Gould charges her husband with givh
ing rich jewelry to several women anA
large sums of money as well to on =
of them on the ground that to say tina
Mr.. Gould gave presents to wOme
was not a charge relevant to an actiot
for divorce.
Herbert C. Smyth, opposing the mt
tion, said:
Mr.. Gould revels in the publicitE
he causes himself, forgetting that til
ones be really hurts are the innocer
little daughters of himself and wifi
The sole reason apparently for tn H
motion to strike out paragraphs fro
Mrs. Gould's complaint is that he
aggrieved in being required to answ
them.
THE counsel for Mr.. Gould movd
before the court for an order directirt
Mrs. Gould to make her complai%
more definite and certain, describirH
by street and number or by desert

meta, named for his wife, lay in t
harbor. We have complied with th
: order, but apparently we have done
too well to suit them.
"If it Is objected that the gifts maj
. to various women were merely platoi
gifts, that may be a matter of e
y dence in defense on the trial, but
allege that these gifts were gifts
