Gets Legal Separation With $4,000 a
Year Alimony.

After q trial lasting three weeks,
Katherine Clemmons Gould obtained a
legal separation from her susband,
Howard Gould, third son of the late
Jay Gould, by a decision of Justice
Bowling In the supreme court. With
the exception OF alimony her victory
was complete, but in this phase Of the
case the court decided that $500 a
year was sufficient. though in her suit
Mrs. Gould asked for $250,00O. She
has been receiving $25, 900 year from
Mr.. Gould.
1t was in the vindication OF charges
Of intoXication and her alleged rela.
tion with Dustin Farnum, the actor,
that Mrs. Gould scored most strongly,
for notwithstanding the long array
of WITNESSES for Mr.. Gould who gave
such testimony as to make 'Mrs. Gould
appear at times as defendant rather
than plaintiff, the court held that the
alleged "intoxication" may have been
due TO excitement.
As to Dustin Farnum II was held
that her association with him came
after Mr.. and and Mrs. Gould separat-
ed and that the husband apparently
made no objection.

PITTSBURG STRIKE SETTLED
All the $500 Cars Operating This
Morning on Regular Schedules.

Plttsburg, June 29.-At 10:30 last
night the street railway strike which
has cost the city of Pittsburg over
| 100000 in two days was officially de-
clared to be at an end. In the pri.
vate offices of Mayor William A. Ma.
gee articles were signed by officials
of the Pittsburg Railways company
and an executive committee from the
Amalgamated Association of Street
and Electric Railway Employees which
will for years TO come prevent another
tie-up Of the 400 miles of street rail-
way tracks In and about Greater
Pittsburg and Allegheny county.
The strike, it developed, was the
outcome of but two points of difference
between the car company and the mo-
tormen and conductors, one being the
alleged neglect upon the part of the
car company to shorten Swing runs"
and the other the refusal of the rail-
way officials to reinstate discharged
men without proper hearing.
Throughout the day Mayor Magee
made vain efforts to bring the two
factions of the traffic tangle together.
Vt o'clock no amicable adjustment
If the differences of the men and the
car company seemed in sight The
mayor, however, did not give up the
fight, and as late as o'clock indicted
letter to both the car company Off
cials and the union men asking their
attendance at conference in his Of
Gce at o'clock. Both sides agreed
to be present.
When the warning factions assem-
bled the mayer addressed them in
plain terms and stated what he
thought was only the Just deserts Of
residents of Greater Pttsburg and
suggested that the temper of the peo-
pla seemed to indicate they would
never tolerate rioting nor prolonged
traffic disturbances.
1t was only after the mayor had
made his sentiments extremely plain
that the car company officials and
union men finally agreed to settle
their differences. With slight modifi-
cations an agreement, allowing dis
charged men proper hearing before
superlntendents and the assurance
of the car company that they would
shorten Swing runs so per cent was
drawn up and signed.
