New York, June 29.--An echo of Mrs
Catherine Clemmons Gould's recent
successful suit for a separation from
her husband was heard in the supreme
court here today. Argument was
heard and decision reserved by Justice

the previous order for Mrs. Gouid's

eler, to recover $20,s75 from Howard
Gould for 1ewelry alleged to have been
purchased by Mrs. Gould in France
Counsel for Gould, who made the
motion, stated that the case could not
come to trial before October and that
there was no need for haste in TAX
ing Mrs. Goulds deposition.
The attorney for the jewelry firm de-
clares that they were informed that
Mrs. Gould was going to her farm at
Lynchburg, Va, today and that the de-
PENDANTS in the case wanted TO get
her out of the jurisdiction of the court
The account in question is that con-
rerning which Mrs. Gould testified the
bill was for $4,000 and for repairs
over $4,000.

Isle SPOKESMAN - DECISION
OF TAFT's FATHER is QUOTED.

Washington. June 2s.--In the swell
tering heat of the cabinet room, filed
with expert whisky men and lawyers,
President Taft labored today with the
question which the Roosevelt admins
tration found SO vexatious. What lis
Whisky?
The entire time Of the president pre-
vious to the regular cabine. meeting,
was consumed in listening to the argu-
ment on exceptions made to the opinion
of Solicitor General Bowers covering
the various phases Of the controversy.
Straight whisky representatives
had their inning at the i1aring today.
They were John r.. Carlisle, former
secretary of the treasury and Edmund
w Taylor of Frankfort, Ky. They
directed their principal arguments
against Bowers conclusion that neutral
spirits mixed with whisky may be sold
under the pure food law to the public
as whisky.
An Imitation Whisky.
They maintained that sucn product
is imitation whisky and that 1t would
be purchased under misrepresentation,
whereas the intention Of congress was
TO legislate against all whisky that Ii
not genuine.
Csrlisle devoted much Of his atten-
ton to reviewing the legal decisions
In support Of this position. One of
the decisions upon which stress was
laid was the opinion Of Attorney Gen-
eral Taft. father of tie president, to
the effect that alcohol Is not whisky.

Among them is the man who has pinned
his speech TO his coat. and he takes one

As contrast to the former speaker a
young man is called to his feet who stands
with head thrown back, hands loosely
hanging in the negligent attitude that
famous orators like Chauncey Depew
and Simeon Ford have made celebrated.
His phrases are az loosely hung as his

does not think the idea at all probable.
Some one is there who smashes the

THE chin too high?" he repeats re-
fiectively well, perhaps Here on the
platform the facial line is very good and
there is a certain suggestion Of power

impression Of a patronizing mood on the
part of the speaker and we must never

He Of the chin, who has looked momen-
