Condition of Millionaire of
New York.

NEW YORK. Oct. 15.-That Howard
Goulds income was formerly 100000 year,
but since the business depression OF last
year it has been reduced to 100000 and that
he has lost $4,000 this year, was stated by
his counsel in an argument before Justice
Bischoff today These figures were given
in opposing an application by Mrs Rather
fine Clemmons Gould. who is suing Mr.. Gould
for divorce for an increase In her alimony
from $4,000 a year to $4,000. To support
her application, Mrs. Gould asserted that
her husbands income was s6oO,OO0 a year.
Delancey Nicoll, counsel for Mr.. Gould re-
piled that while this was once true. Mr..
Gould says It is not so now. Mr.. Nicoll
many years had been one of unbridled ex-
travagance and that last year she received
from her husband $224OOO.
Counsel for Mr. Gould declared that in
1906 Mr. Gould told his wife he would sep
crate from her unless she abandoned her
habits, but that Mrs Gould declined to do
so.
Clarence ]. Shearn, counsel for Mrs
Gould, said that Mr.. Gould had tried ito
starve his wife out" of Castle Gould and
had filled the house with spies who
watched her every movement, compellins
her to move to a hotel
Mr.. Nicoll retorted that in seven years
from 1899 to 1906 Mr.. Gould gave his wife
SI6650 and that Mrs. Gould had saved
$4,000 of it.
Decision on the increase of alimony was

CLOSE CALL FOR AERONAUTS
Occupants of Busley Rescued with
Difficulty in North Sea.
TWO BALLOONS YET UNREPoRTED
Now Three Full Days Since Planen
and HerReselI, in the Endur-
ance Test, Have Been
Heard From.

BERLIN, Oct. 15.-The German balloon
Busley came down Tuesday morning at
o'clock in the North sea. The two men
on board were rescued by a passing
steamer.
This news was received in a telegram
from Edinburgh and caused the greatest
relief, for there was great anxiety regard
ing the fate of this airship. The Busley
is one of the twenty-three balloons that
started in the race for the International
trophy last Sunday from a suburb of Ber-
lin, and now every one of the contestants
has been accounted for. There are still, how
ever, two balloons missing. These arc the
Plauen and the Hergesell. which started
on Monday in the endurance test.
The dispatch received by the Aero club
from Edinburgh says that the Busley early
Tuesday morning got into communication
with a coaling steamer bound for Edin-
burgh at point in the North sea to the
northwest OF Heligoland. The steamer sig
nailed that It would stand by. The aero
nauts then opened their safety valve with
the idea OF bringing the balloon down.
1t is estimated that they travelled 4S5
miles before they came down. Although no
award has been made officially, the Brit
ish balloon, which came down on the coast
Of Denmark, is regarded as the winner Of
the International cup contest. The French
balloon. Condor. is second, and the Bel
CLAN Belgica, third As 1t is not practical to
hold long flights in the British isles, the
Banshee may give over first place to some
other country.
Work of Rescue Difficult.
In the meantime the steamer had
launched a small boat to pick the two
men up. The balloon fell to the sea and
was driven by a strong wind away from
the steamer. The men in the boat pulled
their hardest and finally managed to get
a line fast TO the car, which was being
dragged amid clouds Of spray over tho
tops OF the waves. They hung on until
the two neronauts had been rescued
The transfer OF the balloon to the small
boat was attended with the greatest diff

went careening away over the sea.
The aeronauts were half naked and ut
terly exhausted. They were taken back 10
the steamer, where they received every at
tentlon and were given food and restora-
| tives
The men rescued from the Busley are
Or. Niemeyer and Hans Hiedemann. They
landed at Edinburgh this morning and i'm
mediately started for home by way of
London The point where they were
picked up Is ten miles from HeliEoland.
Two Balloons Missing.
While the news OF the rescue OF the two
bailoonists from the Busley was heartily
welcome. the most serious apprehension
are entertained for the safety OF the other
two airships. 1t is now three full days
since the Piauen and the Hsrgssen have
been heard from. Exhaustive metereolosical
obssrvations indicate that they were driven

 Rollins says the work is progress ing nicely. and out of the 127 men at Florence there has been very lit tie sickness, and they have oply lest three men since the work was begun.
 Beginning next week there will be three shifts run and the work will be pushed as rapidly as possible.
 Jack Grev!lle of Phoenix, who has the territorial contract for building the prison and insane asylum, accom- panied Rollins. He stated that ne proposed to have the penitentiary fin ished by March l, so that it woul6 be ready to receive prisoners.
 The work is well under way; the foundations are all in and the walls of some of the buildings started.
 Tt is going to be one of the finest prisons n the country. and when I nave finished it, it will be a piece of work that shall point to with pride" said Greville.

a heading above the head of the Buckeye canal and about three anu one half miles of construction work Tn which 200, 900 yards of earth has been excayated. This work is no now hn- ished, but there is TO doubt thas con ditions may arise in the future that will mak. 1t advisable to complete 1t and make it part of the Buckeye sys- tenn.
 A year ago last February the Wes- sex Water company offered the Buck eve canal for sale to the Buckeye farmers, As all the farmers Would not join the White Tank Canal com pany and thus make it possible to buy the Buckeye canal, a new com pany was organized and named the Buckeye Irrigation company. his all the farmers joined. Its capital stock Is 16,O0O shares at S10,00O per share, which makes a capitalization of s16O,000 The Buckeye Irr' gation company bought the Buckeye canal Of the WesseX Water company for $93,- GOO to be paid for by assuming the bonds outstanding against the proper tv. amounting to SS6 900, and by pay ing the difference in cash, the first payment to be $16.0O0 and the differ ent payments at the rate of $5,OOO per year and interest with the privilege accorded to any stOckholder of paying his part in full. The payments thus far have reduced the amount due on the purchase price to $670O0.
 As soon as the deal for the purchase of the Buckeye canal from the WeS- sex Water company was completed, the Buckeye Irrigation company be- gan negotiations for the purchase of the property of the White Targ Canal company i" order that there should remain no clashing factions or con flicting interests and that peace. a thing unknown, would reigrFover that troubled community. These negOtia tions finally resulted in a contract last May, for the saIe and purchase of all ihe property Of thr White Tank Canal company.

Wednesday, November r, proved another red letter day in the history of Buckeye. The final steps in the settlement of the long canal coHtro- versy of that part of the valley were completed. The Union Bank ana Truet company, trustee for the White Tank Canal company, is now in pos session of $40,0 worth of the capital stock of the Buckeye Irrigation com pany as payment in full for the prop erty of the White Tank Canal com pany Simultaneously with the trans fer of stock of the Buckeye IrTigatioh company. C. NJ. Zander, secretary or the White Tank Canal company, gave a deed conveying all the property of the latter company. and released in the county recorders office some sev- enty mortgages held by the same ccmpaDy on about 10000 acres of land under the Buckeye canal. The legal part of the deal was looked after by E. W. Lewis for the Buckeye ITriga- ton company and by Walter Bennett for the White Tank Canal company.
 This closes one of the most notable canal fights in the history of the coun- ty and all parties in connection with It will now feel a great relief. There is no doubt the people of Buckeye will feel Ike joining in that glad anthem, NOW I can bathe my weary soul In seas of endless rest. and not a wave of trouble roll across my peaceful breast"
 Under the contract between the two companies S30,000 of the proceeds from the sale of the stock in the hands of the trustee will be distributed to the members of tGe White Tank Canal company who will then be fully rein- bursed for their outlay and the de- maining $10,00O resulting from the sale of the trustee stock goes back to the Buckeye Irrigation company. The trustee stock will be scld on very easy terms stipulated in the contract be tween the two companies and are as nearly identical as possible with the terms of sale of the 12,00O shares of stock of the Buckeye Irrigation com pany already sold.

NJ GRACE FOR ...-,. .-. =. THE TAXPAYERS
Usual Weeks Time Is Done Away With By Maricopa
 County
(Phoenix Democrat )

Instead of allowing the taxpayers of Maricopa county the usual weeks grace after their taxes should be de- clared delinquent, Treasurer Babbitt announced this morning that it will be necessary this year to ask that the taxes be paid on or before the last day allowed by law or they will go delin- quent.
 Babbitt announced this morning that this has been made necessary IS re suit of decisions that have been ren- dered in the district courts of Ali zona, notably one in Yuma, in which Judge Edward Kent ruled that the law provides that taxes do not go de- linquent until the third Monday in , stead of the second Monday as had been previously supposed by all the county treasurers in Arizona.
 As long as taxes were supposed to go delinquent on the second Monday in December, county treasurers were able by extra hard work to accom- modate the public and allow them the extra week of grace. --f

 Treasurer Babbitt stated this morn ing that ythe hardest kind of work he would be able to have the tax rolls ready to turn over tc the county by January 1, or several days after the law actually requires.
 This is due to the change of the day on which taxes go delinquent from the second to the tLird Monday in December. While the taxpayers will actually have as much tine in which to pay their taxes as they did even under the old order when the extra week of grace was allowed, Treasurer Babbitt asks that the property own CTS bear in mind that they will not have any week of grace after the third Monday in December.

 The remainder of the session was given over to the reading of reports of the grand secretary and grand treasurer, and of the standing and special committee reports.
