ton an Com plant.

Philadelphia, May 14-Suit was begun here
to-day against Nine. Emma Eames, the singer.
who is charged with alternating the affections of
Emilio de GogorZa, a barytone in her company.
The complainant is Elsa de Gogorza of New
York. the barytone's wife. Damages of $4,000
are asked.
The prima donna was served with the papers
in the suit at the Bellevue -Stratford where
she was staying prior TO her departure for
Europe. No statement has been filed. and
George Graham. Mrs de Gogorza's attorney,
declined to discuss the case as did Nine
Eames.
Mime. Eames arrived at the Bellevue STRAIT
ford on Thursday night. She registered on the
hotels private ledger. and little information
could be cleaned from any of the Bellevue at
taches Denying at first that she had been at
the hotel. they admitted late to-day that she
had been there, but had left the city at 1 o'clock
in the afternoon for New York
Expecting her arrival in this city. the attor-
neys for the plaintiff had the summons all ready
for her coming. Mr.. Graham explained tonight
that the summons was hurriedly issued to set
service on Nine. Eames before she went to
Europe.
The music world first learned of the disagree
rneut between the de Gogorzas when preliminary
legal steps were taken in this city on March l.
last. in the Supreme Court before Justice O'Gor-
man. At that time Nine. de Gogorza asked for
500 2 month alimony pending the trial of her
suit and counsel fees of S2.JOe, alleging that
her husband was in receipt of more than $4,000
a year as result Of his operate enga agemcnts-
The wife of Emilio de Gogorza Miss
Elsa Neumann previous to her marriage to the
orera singer in October 1856. In her complaint.
filed in the Supreme Court here. she alleged that
she and her husband had lived together happily
until July. 1907. when her husband joined Nine
Fames's concert forces and travelled over the
country with the prima donna. Soon after he
had been enrolled u member OF the Eames COM
panv. she alleged. she began to notice that de
Gogorza's affections were being weaned from
her. She then charged that Nine. Eames was
responsible for the loss of her husbands love.
In her original affidavit Mrs. de Gogorza went
on to say that after his return from Europe, in
September. 1901 her husband asked her If she
would sue him for divorce. She replied. she
alleged that she knew no cause why she should
sue him for divorce. To this. she alleged. her
husband replied that he would only send her
$40 week and thus starve her into submis-
sion.
Emilio de Gogorza's attorneys. Frost & john
son of No : Nassau street. I'm opposing the
motion for slimony and counsel fees. declared
that the Singer was making only $4,000 a year
VET he was willing to pay his wife 500 a month
as he had done previously. It was also de-
c1ared by the attorneys that de Gogorza had no
desire to force his wife to get divorce. but
thai circumstances had arisen which made u
impossible for the couple to live together any
longer.
