ONE GOULD ROW SETTLED =
ANOTHER IS BEING AIRED
Dustin Farnurn, Star in THE
Virginian" is Named as
Correspondent in Divorce
Case of Howard Gould,
Now Being Aired in Court.
The Charges.
Special to The Journal.

New York, April 7.-"Howard
Gould's charges that his wife was in
fatuated with me, that she was guilty
of immodest and improper conduct
with me, and that she followed me
through a long tour of New England
are absolutely and ludicrousiy false"
Interviewed at the Lambs Club on
Howard GOuld's mention of his name
and Mrs Katherine Clemens Goulds
separation made public by Justice
Downing, Justan Farnum, star of The
Virginian," expressed himself thus
with vigOr. He further indicated that
suit for damages against the mil
lionaire for the mention of his name
would probably be his method of re-
priSal, and promises as a first blow
TO go into court and tell the full de-
tails of what he stoutIy maintains has
been a comparatively casual and in
all respects proper acquaintance
with Mrs. Gould.
FARNUM'S STORY.
Il first met Mrs. Gould four years
ago, when l was presented to her at
charity entertainment at Sherry's,
where / appeared" said Mr. Farnum
Since then / have seen her eight or
ten times in all. For two years |
never saw her at all. The statements
are evidently made with the idea that
| because l am an actor, or more or
less of public character, / will not
deny them. / wish to absolutely deny
, these stories, for | consider them a
slur upon the theatrical profession.
During all these months in which
the divorce case has been spoken of
to us it never occurred to me for a
moment that any mention of my name
would be made in il. I was thunder
struck when l saw the afternoon news
papers.
Il resent especially the insinuation
that / was acting in an uubecoming
| manner in one of the public rooms
of the Hotel st. Regis, and l shall
probably take steps to express my re-
sentiment still more emphatically.
Il was at the st. Regis twice. Once,
| in company with four other persons.
I was in the parlOr of Mrs. Gould s
apartments. On the other occasion
with party of six persons. / was in
one of the public restaurants of the
| St Regis with Mrs. Gould
1T seems to me that in view of the
/ fact that Mr. Gould knows he dares
| not make any serious charge against
me, the whole proceeding IS peculiar
| ly foonsh and futile. have NJ been
| named in such a way that l could &C
/ into court and demand to be heard
| but if | am asked to do so by Mrs
| Gould it will give me the great pleas
JTe to appear as a witness and tell
| the truth"

Nine. Anna May Wed De Sa-
gan in Peace-Mrs. George
Gould Acts as Mediator
and Tells Anna She Has
Well Passed the Age of
Discretion.
Special to The journal.

New York, April 7--Baffled by the
SteadfastneSS Of Nine. Anna Gould and
the tact of the Prince de Sagan, it is
now announced that the Gould family
has withdrawn their opposition to the
second marriage OF Count Boni de Cas-
tellane's former wife. A dinner at the
home of Mrs. Edwin Gould was the
scene of the surrender.
George Could was not present at the
family assembly, but Mrs. George
Gould was. and Il is now stated, au-
thOritativeay that 1T is only a question
of few DAYS before the last of the
brothers viii yield
Mrs. George Gould has just returned
from Hot Springs, Va In her absence
all was dissension, and Nine. Gould
has declared herself positive. Mean
while, the family stood decided, but
one after another recruits were gained
by the prime. First Mrs. Frank J.
Gould appeared upon the scene and
lent her support to her sister-in-law.
Then followed the Edwin Goulds, and
Howard Gousd sent flowers and mes
sages to his sister Finally Miss Helen
Gould was prevailed upon to see that
her sisters attitude has been consist
emit and courageous.
TIE MEDIATOR.
So when Mrs. George Gould aD-
peared in New York unexpectedly,
she assumed the role of mediator. She
called on Nine. Gould at the Hotel st.
Regis and together the siSter-in-law
considered the affair at length. Nine
Gould set forth her arguments in fa-
vOr of the prince. His answering 10y
atty, the pictWesQueness of his court
ship and his own personality We're the
chief arguments. Finally Mrs. Gould
said:
Il don't see how We can interfere
with your personal freedom any more.
You are a woman tb!G-ty-two years OF
age and you must know.
Instantly dinner party of the fam
lily was arranged in the seclusion OF
the Edwin Gould house in $50 Fifth
avenue. Mrs. Geo. Gould did yeoman
service on behalf of her sister-in-law
and Miss Helen Gould consented to ap-
pear.
PRINCE PLEASED.
In the meantime the prince called
on Nine Gould at the ST. Regis and
heard with great pleasure about the
diminishing family opposition. He
| STAYED for two hours.
The prince has net definitely deter
| mined whether he will sail on La
Provence Thursday. The develop

practically vanished he will probably

Called Upon to Replace
Flooring.

Public Works, called for the purpose
of considering the matter of the
floors of the city Jail, was held last
night, and resulted in the board di-
recting the contractor TO replace the
dressing on the floor.
F. VI. BlOunt appeared for the firm
OF AuSfeld x Blount, the architects
and stated that the floor being de-
fecttve was not possibly the fault of
the architects or the contractor. He
said that if the specifications We're
carried cut there was no possible
way for the floor to be defective. but
that the men laying the floor might
possibly have put the wrong kind of
sand in the mixture, by mistake.
F'ulghum & Co. offered to replace
the floor according 10 their formula
and guarantee it for the space of one
year. The board decided 10 order
them to replace the floor under the
contract, which is that they keep
the building III repair for one year
after its completion.
Applications from the street super
intendent and the city teamsters were
read asking increases in salaries;
the drivers to % cents more per day.
and the superintendent to 1925 per
month Both applications were re-
ferred because of insufficient funds.
The contracts of the electric and
gas companies for suppl ing the city
with lights for five years were read
The board decided to have specified
IN both the documents the manner
for the city electrician testing the
voltage of the electric, and the
amount of pressure on the gas lights.
