MRS. GOULD Wins
SWEEPING VICTORY
Cleared of Intoxication Charge
and Awarded $4,000 Monthly
AIimony by the Court

NEW YORK, June 25.-Katherine
CIemmons Gould today obtained a legal
separation from her husband, Howard
Gould. third son of the late Jay Gould.
With the exception Of alimony her vic
tory was complete, but in this phase of
the case the court decided that $4,000
year was sufficient, whereas she
asked for s25OOoO She has been re-
ceiving $4,000 a year from Mr. Gould.
INTOXICATION NOT PROVED
1t was in the vindication of charges
of intoxication and her alleged rela-
tons with Dustin Farnum, the actor,
that Mrs. Gould scored most strongly,
for, notwithstanding the long array of
witnesses for Gould, the court held
that her actions alleged to be due to
intoxication might have been caused
by excitement. AS to Dustin Farnum
it was held that her association with
him came after Mr.. and Mrs. Gould
separated and that the husband appar-
emily made no objection.
a 80 days stay of judgment was
granted.
Attorney Shearn then asked for an
extra allowance for counsel fees and
the court gave him $4,000. This. to-
gether with the $4,000 allowed re-

$4,000, will bring his fees to $4,000.
with an additional sum of $500 for
expenses.
s3,OOO,OOO DOVER RIGHT
Mrs. Gould's dover right in Howard
Gould's real property amounts to s3.-
100000, and is unaffected by the sepa-
ration.
Mrs. Gould said: Il am the happiest
woman living Because l have been so
completely indicated. Not one little
pang shot through my heart at the
smallness of the allowance-only SUI
preme JOY and the deepest gratitude.
I send a thousand loving thanks to all
who have helped me-"
Justice Dowling's decision is in part.
$50 far as the defense has sought to
substantiate by proof its allegations of
gross habitual intoxication upon the
part of the plaintiff, not only has the
defendant failed to support that ale
cation by proof, but, on the contrary
the plaintiff has gone beyond what she
was directly required to do, and | find
that affirmatively the preponderance of
testimony is Overwhelmingly in her
favor.
80 far as the allegations of i'm
proper conduct with Farnum are con-
cerned, there is this to be said, that the
episodes which have been testified to
took place after the desertion of the
plaintiff by the defendant and they
could therefore furnish no Justification
of any kind for the original desertion."

deep wound which he received in his
left hand from the glass wind shield

received attention in the villa.
Gibson's principal injury consists of
badly lacerated hand, but Miss Burtis,
although uninjured. is suffering from
nervous prostration.

Ambassador Says Talk
OfRevOlutiOnisA Absurd
Too Much Prosper
ity in the Country
MORE TROOPS NEVERTHELESS
MOVED NORTH, WHILE BIG
FIRE STARTS IN PLACE OF
MILITARY COMMANDER.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 3.-"There
has never been any fear of revolu-
tion in Mexico" declares Senor
Mariscal, the Mexican minister of
foreign affairs, in dispatch received
at the Mexican embassy this after
noon.
The Mexican ambassador, Senor
De La Barra, as he handed the dis
patch to the Associated Press, said
that he felt this ought to dispose
of the rumor indicating the prob
ability of an uprising in Mexico as
a result of the approaching presiden-
tial campaign. The ambassador de-
clared that the whole country will
sustain the candidacy of Diaz for the
presidency and that the patriotism of
the people will not brook any in
terruption to the era of progress.
Senior De La Barra said that Diaz
would be supported because of his
honest, patriotic administration,
which had gained for him the respect
of the people both at home and
abroad. The political agitation over
the vice presidency will not, by any
means, produce a disturbance.
Reports that the conflicts appear
ing at Guadalajara and other places
were symptoms of a revolution, said
the ambassador, are without founda-
tion. The course of business has not
been interrupted and with country
like Mexico, which worked and pros
pered, normal conditions had not
been disturbed. The ambassador
called attention to the business of
the Tehuantepec and Mexican Ma
tional railroads as showing the pros
porous condition of the country.
The terminal points of the former,
he said, already are inadequate to
handle the inter-continental traffic
in that section, termed by Baron
Humboldt, "the bridge of the world"
necessitating enlarged and improved
facilities. The business of the
Mexican National, he said, had in

WINNIPEG, Man, Aug. 23.-A
forest fire is burning few miles
southwest of Nakusp, on Arrow lake
where valuable timber is being
devastated. A bridge burned on the
Great Northern two miles south OF
Darts, with the result that a passen.

was ditched.
There were no casualties.
CranbrOok, town near Fernie, B.

ing himself in the head with a 32
calibre Stevens rifle.
The bullet entered Just above the
left eye death being instantaneous
The body was found about 4
o'clock by c. R. Campbell, another
woodchopper who has tent short
distance above the ice plant. The
body was partly concealed by sage
brush, about 80 feet from Camp
BELLS tent. The rifle was lying by
the dead mans feet. Magee's face
was badly powder burned, indicating
that he held the rifle only few
inches from his forehead.
Magee had been drinking around
town for about a week. During this
time he lost all the money he had
over various gamb.ing tables. He
made several attempts early yeSter-
day to secure eating money but with
out success. Discouraged, he went
up Murry canyon about mile from
Ely and entering Campbell's tent
took his rife. Walking a short dis
tance from the tent he placed the
weapon against his head and fired
the fatal shot. The condition of the
cartridge indicated mat the trigger

the remains, the following persons
being sworn as jurors: w. E, Mckay,
James Ferguson, c.. G. Smithson, H.

The inquest over Magee's body
will be held this evening at O'Clock
in the Justices Office. The following
witnesses have been subpoenaed:
Charles Conkling, Charles w. Gaby,
Jack Harrington, Fired Stephenson,
Phil Hannin and Louis Schrader.
An examination of Magee's wear
ing apparel shows that he left no
personal effects. Scarcely anything
is known of his past life. 1t is said
that he was born in England and
that he lived in Wyoming before
to Nevada. He stopped with
Campbell in his tent several months
ago. Magee was about forty-five
years of age.
During the past four months the
bodies of five persons, who either
suicide or met with
violent death, have been found in the
vicinity of Murry canyon.

MOTHER OF CHILD SAYS SHE
is THROUGH WITH EFFORTS
TO RECOVER HER-HISTORY.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Aug. %
Baby Marion Bleakley will remain in
charge of Kansas City police until
Wednesday, when the case will be
held in the Jackson county circuit

A writ of habeas corpus was issued
by Judge Poterfield today on the APP
plication of Mrs. Bleakley, the child S
mother
Mrs. Barclay and Gentry also must
appear in court Wednesday, accord
ing to Judge Poterfeld's order. 1t is
understood that Governor Hadley

the Exposition. While there she
was formally adopted by Mrs. James
G.. Barclay, of Moline, Ill. Mrs.
Bleakley signed release but she af-
terwards sued to recover the child

PITTSBURG, Aug. 23.-Following
one of the most fatal and desperate
strike riots experienced in Pittsburg
for more than score of years a
quiet but tense situation prevailed
today at McKees Rocks, the scene
last night of a terrorizing conflict
between state, county and special po-
lice and striking employees of the
Pressed Steel Car company.
At least half dozen persons are
known to be dead, twelve men, both
strikers and police, are in the hos
pitfalls fatally injured and two score
men, women and children are suf-
fering from wounds and injuries in
hicted with clubs and stones.
The property damage is estimated
in the thousands OF dollars. Three
street cars were wrecked and many
vehicles smashed The streets are
Uttered with window glass and near
ly a hundred doors of houses were
broken down. Half a dozen horses
were shot to death.
Investigation by Associated Press
shows that last nights battle re-
suited from the fact that three new
members of the State constabulary
refused to obey the commands of the
strikers when ordered from the city.
These three troopers, aided by a
deputy sheriff, resisted the mob and
it is apparent today that all dead
and the majority of the injured fell
in this battle. Later, however, when
reinforcements arrived, many more
persons were dubbed and shot
Six weeks ago today, $500 en-
ployes of the Pressed Steel Car COM
pany, mostly foreigners walked out
on strike against the company s
system of wages. By this system,
the men declare, the car company
managed to get more work out of
them for less money than under the
straight day wage scale. The COM
pany claims that owing to the fact
that most of the employees were un-
able to understand English it was
impossible to convince them that the
perling system, whereby man draws
small wages one week and large
wages the next is reasonable.
The rioting last night followed a
day of quiet and broke without
warning.
The fight occurred at the Pressed
Steel car plant at Schoenville.
Following is a partial list of dead
and injured, made up from reports
from the morgue, hospital and sew
eral physician's Offices:
The dead:
John l.. Williams, state trooper.
Harry Exler, deputy sheriff.
Four foreigners.
