Gould who took the stand today in her
suit for separation from her husband
Howard Gould, than the public re-
membered; and her loss in weight was
becoming. Mrs Gould wore mourning
for her father. She seemed nervous at
times. under the strain of cross exam
nation. and when the questions led her
to the early days of her married life
she showed visible emotion, but so far
as the presence of her husband was
concerned, she seemed not to know that
he was in the same room. although he
sat but q few feet from her through
out the days session. The long delayed
hearing before Justice bowling. who
will make his finding without the aid
of a jury. is the elimination of a case
which began in May. 1907 and has been
marked in it's continuance by many
sensational accusations of misconduct
and attempted subordination of wit
ncsscs.
Mrs Gould alleges that her husband
deserted her without just cause on
July IS, 1906. Howard Gould answers
that his justification was the habits

charges and asks for an allowance of

the manner to which her husband had

Gould.
In answer to questions she ratified off
the amounts her husband had allowed
her month by month They averaged
about $4,000. She kept two bank &C
crunts-one Mrs. Gould account and
ona a Katherine Gould account.

GOLDEN Jubilee
Celebration Of American
College al Rome.
Memorial Addresses at Grand
Banquet in The Rectory.
Archbishop 0'conneII Proposes a
Toast to the United States,

Rome, June 10.-The ceremonies in
connection with the Golden Jubilee OF
the American College in Rome were
continued here today with a grand
banquet in the rectory of the college
which was decorated with flowers and
American and Papal flags. The stu
dents of the college rendered music
during the banquet and toasts to the
Pope. Monsignor Kennedy, rector of
the institution, and the College of
Cardinals were proposed
After giving a toast in honor of the
guests, Mgr Kennedy asked Archbis-
hop Farley to propose the toast to the
Pope. The archbishop compared the
pontificate of Plus x with those of
his predecessors of the same name and
declared that the present pontificate
surpassed all. He made special refer
ence to the manner in which His Holt
ness when summoned by Christendom
had guarded against the socalled mod
ernism. AS was the case under the
reign of Plus VI and Plus VII, the
Pope has been made to- suffer through
church.
Archbishop O'Connell proposed the
toast to the United States. He descrb-
ed the love the people had for the
church and the Pope and especially
their love for their country. Riches,
the development of industries and the
spread of commerce, he said, are the
supports Of country, but without the
vital spirit of religion a country is
without soul. The greatest security
in America against the dangers OF IL
cense he declared, consists in the liber-
ty of the church. Mgr. Falconio, the
apostolic delegate al Washington
toasted the American hierarchy He
said that he loved America because
Americans are among the best sub
iects of the Holy See throughout the
world.
Bishop Burke, of ST Joseph, Mo.
spoke in the name Of the alumni. All
the toastS were enthusiastically cheer
ed and national hymps/ were sung
When THE Star Spanglnd Banner"
was begun all rose to their feet, in
GLIDING the cardinals, and joined in the
chorus. Later q reception was held.
