COURT CONTEMPT
Mrs. William T. Dixon, of New
York, at Hearing Here, Admits
DisObedience of Order.
FIGHT OVER CUSTODY
OF TWO chill DREN
Case Before Vice-Chancellor
Stevens on Rule to
Show Cause.

The marital troubles of Mr.. and Mrs.
William r, Dixon. prominent society
people Of New York, received another
airing before Vice-Chancellor Stevens
today on rule to show cause why Mrs.
Dixon should not be judged in con
tempt of court for not obeying an order
to allow the husband to have his two
children, william II, jr, and barbara,
for one month in summer and one
month in winter. Mrs. Dixon claims
that she discontinued the visits for the
reason that they did not receive the
proper care at the home of her hus-
bands father, a noted trust lawyer or
New York.
When he hearing first opened, Rich
ard V. Lindabury. who appears for the
husband, and former Judge Gilbert
Collins, counsel for Mrs. Dixon,
~quibbled for a long time over affidavits
introduced to explain the position OF
the defendant, who admitted the dis
obedience Of the courts order. Mr..
L%indabury wanted the hearing an oral
one, so that he could cross-examine.
WITH I1e cAttptlDil VI Oii ''C
parts, Judge Collins announced finally
that he would not depend upo them,
but would call witnesses to prove their
contents. With the consent of MI.
Lindabury, he also amended his answer
with a clause questioning the jurisdic-
ton of the, court.
Mrs. Dixon is and has, since Febru-
airy, 1907, been q resident of Maine. Inc
husband, it Is said, lives in New York
and Pittsfield, Mass. where his fathers
summer home Is located. Their resi-
dence in New Jersey Is dundee on
their h%abitation of a summer home IN
Madison in former years. AS 1t ap-
pears. no matter what the courts ruling
may be, 1t Is not likely to have erect
upon Mrs. Dixon, who, under her doc
tors orders, Is unable. to leave her
home.
At one time in addressing the court
Mr.. Lindabury complained that he had
the floor and that Judge Collins was IN
terrupting.
At was not aware that Mr.. Lindabury
had the floor retorteds h judge; 4
don't see him on his feet"
"All right, then I'll get on my feet
replied Mr.. Lindabury good-naturedly.
At another stage in the cross-exam-
nation of DR.. John T. Thompson, OF
Portland, Me. the family physician Oh
Mrs. Dixon, Judge Collins repeated a
question in regard to the number OF
servants in her house.
"Oh. he said three, l think broke
In Mr.. Lindabury.
'I'm sorry. l forgot. But l guess !
am entitled to forget once in a while
smiled MI. Collins.
The case will not likely be finished
today, as there are a large number OF
witnesses to be examined.
