SUES HUSBAND FOR
DIVORCE BECAUSE
She LOVES HIM
NutIey Woman Is Willing to
Give FaithIess Spouse His
Freedom in England.

Wine, women, race horses, cards, the
sheriff and rival all play leading parts
in the tragedy of the shattered romance
of Mrs. Ada Bartor, we'd in England
eleven years ago, now seeking divorce
in the New Jersey Chancery Court.
Although her husband raised a sec
ond family in England after she left
him six years ago to come to America
and help him in repairing his broken
fortunes, Mrs. Bartor declared yester-
day that she still loved him. She was
willing to give him his freedom so he
can live with his second helpmeet in
amity.
The couple were married in London
in 1897 and lived together four years.
AT the end of that time, Mrs. Bartor
declared, because of the husband S
fondness for wine, race horses and the
gambling table, the sheriff took possess
sion of their home. For their boy S
sake the father promised to reform, the
wife says, and she agreed to come to
America to stay with a sister living at
New Dorp, Staten Island, but becom-
ing discontinued there she secured em-
ployment as a housekeeper in Mont
clair several months later.
When she was ready to return, she
testified, a letter came from her
mother-in-law with the news that her
husband had commenced to rear a sec
ond family. She remained in Mont
clair for several years, and secured en-
ployment as housekeeper in the home
of William C. Gibson. of Nutley.

MONUMENT TO
CLEVELAND NOW
ASSURED FACT
Most Prominent Men in State
Pledge Selves to Erect
Memorial.
TO BE PLACED NEAR
HOME AT PRINCETON
Fund Of 100000 Apportioned
in Various Counties to
Be Raised.

A suitable monument to the memory
of Grover Cleveland will be erected at
Princeton.
That was the decision reached at a
meeting of the Cleveland Memorial
Association held in the office of former
United States Senator John T.. Dryden
today
The funds are yet to be raised and
considerable detail work is necessary
to accomplish the desired end, but the
five men who We're present, former
Senator Dryden, president; former
United States Senator James Smith, jr.,
Viee-president; Daniel S. Voorhees,,
treasurer; former State Senator Henry
d. Winton, secretary, and Richard "
Lindabury and George w. Fortmeyer,
of the executive committee, perfected
concrete plans for collecting subscrip-
tions, which, coupled with their deter
mination to make a success of such a
patriotic enterprise, assures satisfac-
tory outcome.
IL has been determined to formally
incorporate an organization, to be
known as the Cleveland Memorial As
sociation, empowered to collect funds
for the purpose above stated. A num-
Der of prominent men throughout the
State, possibly fifty will be included in
the list of incorporators, and local COM
mittees, with prominent men at the
head, will be organized in each county.
Former Senator Winton, who has
been canvassing the situation since the
last meeting, reported that he had per-
sonally received assurances from prom
inent men representing sixteen counties
of the State that it only required an
organized effort to secure a liberal con-
tribution to the worthy project. This
movement will from now on take def
mite shape by the perfection of local
committees.
1t was decided that as a matter of
State pride a fund of at least $100,000
should be raised. 1t is proposed to al
lot TO each county an apportionate
amount Of this sum, based upon the
last list of ratables. 1t is the desire of
the committee TO make the subscription
a popular one, and it Is their hope that
the larger share of the fund will come
from the masses of the people in small
amounts.
II is the intention to have the as
sociation, when formally Incorporated
issue certificates of membership to all
those who contribute. The local COM
mlttees are to be organized at once and
a general campaign is to be inaugurated
throughout the State and will be in
full operation within very short time.

her husband unconscious on the bed

his condition was serious.
At the City Hospital it was found
that the man had taken about two
ounces of iodine, which the doctors
pumped out.
Mrs Triquet was at loss to account
for her husbands act. She said he
