GOULDS TO BB RECONCILRD
Friend of Family Explains Wife's
Trip to Atlantic City.
Troubles Not at All Serious, Says
COnfidanf, and VIII He
Forgotten.

New York. April I9.-The constantly re-
peated rumors that there might yet be a
reconciliation between Mrs Frank Gould
and her millionaire husband, whom she
had served with a summons last Wednes-
day night, presumably as a preliminary
to an action for separation. seemed to be
borne out to-day, when il was learned
that Mrs. Gould. accompanied by her
mother, Mrs. Kelly, had left for Atlantic
City.
Both Mrs. Gould and Mrs. Kelly said
that they were leaving town simply In an
effort to rid themselves Of the reporters,
but their friends put different construc-
ton on the matter.
''In view Of the fact that Frank de-
parted FOR Hot Springs only a day or two
ago. and, TO the best of my knowledge,
that he has been in communication with
his wife by wire ever since" said a con-
fidant 1T is safe to say that this move
Of Mrs. Goulds means that she IS meet
ing her husband half way, both literally
and fguratively. There are, IN fact too
many reasons why the two should live TO-
getheT and make any permanent es-
arrangement improbable. Frank Gould, for
one thing, is exceedingly fond of his tive
baby daughters. and on their account
alone he would yield much to suppress
an action the outcome Of which would
almost Inevitably separate him from his
children, who would naturally be given
into the custody Of the mother in case OF
any separation.
''On the other hand. Mrs. Goulds
mother. Mrs Kelly. who is q devout
Catholic, and as such unalterably op-
posed TO divorce, would use all her in
| fuenee with her daughter against allow
| ing the latter to bring an action which
would even smack of a divorce proceed
| ing. Then. too, Thomas NJ, Kelly, Mrs.
| Gould's uncle, who has charge of her
estate, has invested heavilyz in Gould Sc
curities, and he has an economic motive
| In seeing that no big stoekhdlder IN those
| enterprises. like Frank, should feel any
hostility to the family. On the whole
then. It is pretty certain that Mr.. and
Mrs. Frank Gould will become reconciled
after this little spat, as they have SC
many times before"

REFLECTIONS OF
A BACHELOR GIRL
By HELEN ROWLAND.
BY HELEN ROWLAND,

A man viii knock another man
down just to prove he's perfect
gentleman.
OF course women should marry.
No home is complete without a
husband any more than it is with
out a cuckoo clock or a cat.
When a husband accuses his wife
of having married him for his In
come, he doesn't know what a
tribute he is paying TO her COM
mon sense.
There IS nothing so good for the
health Of conjugal love as mat
rimonial vacation now and then.
No man can understand why a
woman shouldn't prefer a good
reputation 10 a good time.
The saddest thing about married
life is the opportunity it gives two
otherwise agreeable people for tell
ing one another the disagreeahle
truth.
Marrying an old bachelor is like
buying secondhand furniture.
Don't worry for fear you may
freeze a mans love out: the colder

All the subjects to be discussed are

sources" each TO be presented by ae-
knowledged experts.
The plan of the conference. II Is off,
eially stated, makes II plain that the key
note Will be the necessity for co-opera-
ton in conserving the country's natural
resources. The programme has been ar
ranged in such a way as logically to lead
to a discussion OF the unity OF American
interests and the interdependence OF the
country's industries.
It's purpose, il is also stated, viii be to
show how the governors and delegates.
| representing the States. have a common
interest in natural resources with the
President and the Federal government.
and how the fifty national organizations
which will be represented have COM
mon interest. not only with each other.
but also with the governmental authori-
ties.
Hill to Speak.
The conference viii first take up the
transportation question. After a paper
by james J. Hill. the delegates will dis
euss the relations between rail and water
transportation. They will particularly 60

htical parties. has but little patience
with even the japanese -nake-beueve pop
ular government, and is largely respon-
sible for the continued control OF the

armies of the clan of Choshu which re-
sisted the military power Of the Shotgun

war of 1871. and has always been !deni-
fed with the army Twice. however. he
has been prime minister and now is the
president Of the privy council. His milf
tary notions of discipline kept him con-
ssantly emhroled with members Of his
cabinet when at the head of the gov
ernment, and he despises politicians as
only a soldier can. Yet II was he who
was at the helm in the stormy days just
before the adoption of parliamentary
government, and his conservative infiu-
ence prevented the radicals from going
too far with their plans and thus wreck
ing the whole scheme Of popular repre-
sentatiOn.
Marshal Prince Oyama Is the purely
military man in the Genro. The world
came TO know his name when he was
commander Of the victorious japanese
armies in the Manchurian campaigns
against Russia, but in Japan his prowess
as a soldier has been a proveTb for forty
years. He is a nephew of the great
SaigO. the military leader of the Res
toratiOn, and took a distinguishing part
in the civil wars which led to the down
fan Of the Shogunate. Ills life story is
that Of a soldier. He has now retired

has always kept up intimate acquaint-
ance with American affairs.
These are the five men who are called
the Elder Statesmen. When great crisis

nation turns to them and asks them what
10 do. They are ali practical politicians
and know how to pull wires, but the peo-

and as their interest in its welfare is as
great as their knowledge is deep. no other
