freedom on statutory grounds. The
most sensational feature in the action
has to do with an episode on Mr..
Goulds yacht, Helenita. in which a
young singer, whose name has not
been divulged. played a leading part.
1t will be alleged. according to re-
port, that Mr.. Gould has for several
years been training this woman's voice
for the grand opera stage under the
best masters in Europe, and that she
accompanied him on long cruises on
his yacht.
Gould Unaware of All Charges.
A specific act of misconduct with
the young woman will be alleged to
have taken place three or four years
ago off Sidney. Nova Scotia. There
will be much testimony from former
members of the Helenita crew.
This, it is said. was only one of a
number of acts of misconduct to be
charged by Mrs. Gould against her
husband. The nature of the specific
acts not even Mr.. Gould will know for
several days. as he has not been served
with the full complaint.
Under the law the papers in the case
must be filed within twenty days after
the serving of the summons. The pub
lie probably will never know the pre-
else nature of the testimony offered in
the suit. as it was declared motion
will be made to argue the proceedings
in private before a referee.

New York. June 27.-Events bearing

There was a marked lack of interest

to devise means for raiisng $4,000

Monday evening to save the work of

promulgation of a call for the meeting
which was held at the roof garden of
the National hotel this afternoon.
C. K. Holiday presided. as he did
at the morning meeting, and explained
to the few who were not present at
the earlier session that $4,000 was
necessary to meet the demands of
those who had appealed from the
findings of the condemnation board.
He explained that $1.750 of the need

morning meeting; but there was moth
ing in the appeal which brought a re-
sponse in the way of dollars.
A majority of those who were pres

for their stock in the company. Five
property owners have appealed from
the findings of the board of appraisers

$4,000 at the present time to satisfy
the claims of the district court. Those
who have appealed from the findings
of the appraisers are: James Chap

BAYFIELD,
From the Press:

Fire broke out Friday afternoon at
2:30 o'clock in the drying sheds at
the planning mill at the foot of Third
street. The property is owned by
the Wachsmuth Lumber company
bnt had recently been leased from
that concern by Carl johnson. Mr..
Johnson had just lately started in
business aud this is certainly case
of hard luck. Just how the fire
started is not known although sever
al theories are advanced as the prob
able cause. However. it is believed
the fire resulted from a spark and at
the time discovered was confined
solely to the interior. The shed
contained considerable dried lumber
and had gained much Roadway be-
fore an alarm was turned in. Much
credit must be given the fire depart
ment for the excellent work done in
answering the call so promptly and
in combining the fire TO the sheds
where originated, A high south
ives terly wind was blowing and the
fire threatened to spread to the plan
ing mill, freight cars on the nearby
tracks and adjoining buildings.
Prompt work however, saved these
and the fire was finally COTTON under
control. The loss to Mr.. Johnson
will reach perhaps $1,000. and to the
Wachsmuth .Lbr. Co. for the build
ing, about $500.
Mr.. Johnson stated that the sheds
would be rebuilt and the business
would continue, the mill running as
usual, as 1t was rot damaged in the
least, There is perhaps quite a
little of the lumber which can be
saved by trimming, which will bring
the loss to Mr., Johnson down con-
siderably. The fact the loss is as
small as it is, is due to the fact that
but small amount of lumber was
in the sheds. but that which was
there was well seasoned and dry.
