GOULD DIVORCE
SUITS TAKEN UP
Former Actress Says She Needs
$4,000 a Year for
Expenses
Early Date Is Set to Hear the
Evidence in One of
the Cases

NEW YORK. Sept. 21.-Mrs. Cath
crime Clemons Gould. who is suing
Howard Gould for divorce, today ap-
piled to the court for an order for
100000 year alimony and $4,000 for
her counsel fees. The argument was
adjourned until; October l at the re-
quest of Cornelius Sullivan, counsel for
Gould. Sullivan declared that Mrs.
Gould Is undergoing no hardships and
added:
Mrs. Gould is generously treated by
her husband. In November 1907, Gould
started to provide for her at the rate
OF $4,000 a year. The plaintiff has no
children. Furthermore, the plaintiff
has pledged the defendant for articles
purchased since the alleged separation
to the extent of 100000 or $150.000.
She purchased jewelry to the amount
OF 100000 within six weeks of the time
of the alleged abandonment"
Clarence J. Shearn, counsel for Mrs
Gould replied that 1t was very neces-
sary that Mrs. Gould be provided for
at once. He said:
Mrs. Gould is being bounded by
agents of the defendant and shadowed
wherever she goes by his spies. Life
is made miserable for her and she has
recently been made the victim of rank
conspiracy to blacken her character by
the defendant. Testimony has been
purchased by witnesses If Gould was
willing to spread scandalous abuse OF
his wife throughout a "a page answer
he should now come into court and sub
stantiate these charges"
Immediately following the temporary
disposition OF this action the case OF
Helen Kelly Gould against Frank J.
Gould for absolute divorce was called
in the same courtroom and the court
fixed October as the date for hear
ing.

Manson explains in detail the plan
of construction which has been pre-
yiously made public. 1t calls for the
reservoir at lake Eleanor and at some
later date at Hetch Hetchy valley with
a combined capacity of los. 100000 gall
Ions. There will be a diverting dam
and canal 20 miles long to Bear gulch,
where power station will be erected
capable of developing $4,000 horse
power. From Bear gulch station con-
dults will run to the Dry creek power
station, IA miles distant, where $500
horsepower will be generated. Big.

included in the estimates.
"A commentary on the growth of the
city is the increase In the amount al
lowed for a. distributing system over
that estimated in 1908. The city has
spread so rapidly that practically a
new system of reservoirs must be
planned. Manson proposes that water
from the main supply be received in
two reservoirs near the intersection of
Mission and Amazon streets, having a
combined capacity of 203,000,000 gall
Ions. From there 1t could be supplied
both by gravity and pumping stations
through 3S miles of main and force
pipes to 81 service reservoirs in the
five different levels into which the area
to be supplied is divided.
William Ham Hall submitted a let
ter in which he asked more time in
which to consider whether he would
make the city an unconditional offer
for the sale of4-his lands and water
rights in the vicinity of Lake Eleanor,
this being his third postponement. The
letter was referred to the public util-

REPUBLICAN CHIEFS
ASSAILED BY BRYAN
Bourbon Leader Hurls Defiance
at Opponents Before a Big
New York Gathering
Denounces Platt and Depew and
Showers Vitri0Iic Remarks
on Standard Oil

BUFFALO. NY. Sept. 21-"The pres
ident has seen fit TO give the republican
candidate another Endorsement. 1t
seems that I am running against two
republicans instead of one, but our
platform is so plain and the purpose of
our party is so we'll expressed in that
platform that / am prepared to meet
the argument of one or both of them"
Hurting defiance at his republican
opponents, William ]. Bryan, demo-
cratic candidate for president speaking
here tonight before an immense audi
ence so declared himself
Democracys leader reached this city
at 1880 o'clock tonight. Cheering
crowds at the station and along the
streets greeted him.
From the moment he began speaking
in this state at Brockport early in the
day until he had concluded his remarks
here the democratic candidate took the
bit in his teeth and assailed at every
turn President Roosevelt, Taft and the
republican leaders.
He spoke of. the conflict which he
said existed between the president and
the republican managers OF the cam
paign; replied specifically to certain
queries propounded TO him in an open
letter in the Chicago Tribune; attacked
the president for what he said was his
"
and from which he said the president
could not escape; denounced Senators
Platt and Depew as having betrayed
the people; charged the republicans
with turning the financial system over
TO Wall street, and finally poured a
volley of denunciation into the Standard
oil company.
Whether or not following so closely
on the heels of his conferences yester-
day with Judge Parker and former
Senator David B. Hill the vigor of his
speech was due to the conclusions
reached Is not known. but 1t was ad-
mitted on all sides today and tonight
that at no time during the present
campaign has Bryan been so aggres-
sive. He made a dozen speeches to
large and enthusiastic crowds along
the line. Bands played the people
cheered, and at Tonawanda there was
an incesssnt din of locomotive and fac
tory whistles. Speeches were made at
Brockport, Holley, Albion, Medina, Mid
dleport. Lockport, Niagara Falls. San
born. Suspension Bridge and several
smaller places.
Bryan proceeded to his car in the
Michigan Central station, followed by
the cheering crowd, leaving at 1850
O'Clock for Detroit, where he is due to
arrive at 6:20 in the morning. The
Michigan visit provides for but two
speeches, one at Ann Arbor in the after
noon and the other at Detroit in the
evening.

Mrs. Inez Shorb White Buck a
Prisoner on the Transport
Sheridan at Manila

Mrs. Inez Shorb White Buck, former
leader in San Francisco's social world,
has been held prisoner in Manila on
the transport Sheridan under the strict
quarantine laws of the islands. Mrs.
Buck took passage on the Sheridan on
September Is, but the vessel had barely
left port before mild case of cholera
developed. aa
The Sheridan. returned to Manila and
was sent into quarantine. The pas
sengers were forbidden to leave the
steamer and were held aboard while
the transport was thoroughly fumi-
gated. A dispatch from Manila stated
that the Sheridan had been released
yesterday. but the local transport Of
f1cials had received no such informa-
tion.
Mrs Buck appears to have expert
enced as much difficulty in leaving the
islands as she did in reaching them. At
the time she left here to marry Captain
Buck she applied for permission to sail
on government transport on the
ground that she was the fiancee of an
army officer. The regulations of the
transport service made no provision
for such case, but after the matter
had been made the subject of con-
troversy, special ruling was made in
Mrs. Bucks favor.

BIBLE WAS PASSPORT
IN KINGDOM OF KOREA

New York, Aug. 5.-Signficant side
lights on the recent uprising, due to
the abdication of the old Emperor of
Korea in favor of his son, are con-
tanned in the annual report of the AM
erican Bible Society in the Hermit
Nation during the last year. The
Rev C. A. Clark wrote of his district
in Kang Won province: People have
been so busy lodging bullets that
they have no heart to buy Bibles. >
Disturbances have driven the Chris
tians to their Bibles, as is seen from
a quotation from the Rev. F. S. Mil
Ter:
"As the Christians have their hair
cut, the Japanese suspected them of
being eX-soldiers, and the insurgents
suspected them of being members of
the pro-Japanese II Chin Society.
However, as far as | know, neither
party interfered with those who
were reported by their neighbors to
be true Christians.
THE Bible was a safe passport with
either side, and saved many from
trouble, But woe betide the man
who carried a Bible and could not
read it. Often a man was tested as
to his ability to read and sing One
man | heard of made a great show
of being a Christian, but on being ask
ed to read and sing, had to admit that
he could do neither, and was shot as
a spy

OLD AGE PENSION BILL
OPERATIVE JAN NEXT

London, Aug. 5.-Of twelve inn
portant measures foreshadowed in the
Kings speech at the opening of Parli-
ament in January, just two had been
passed up to the adjournment Satur-
day for the Summer vacation. These
were the Irish Universities bill and
the Old Age Pension bill, neither of
which was opposed in principle by
the opposition, although the House of
Lords amended some clauses of the
pensions bill, only, however, to have
them rejected by the House of Com
mons and to accept the rejection when
the bill was returned to the Lords in
its original form.
The Old Age Pensions bill will be-
come operative Jan l., 1909, so that
only three months will be chargeable
to the present financial year and no
great increase in the budget will be
necessitated. For the first full year.
however, the Ministers estimate that
six million pounds sterling (about
$30,000,000) will have to be found, and
other experts say that this is full
two million pounds short of what ac-
tually will be required.
