Formerly the dangers encountered from wild
beasts deferred most fishermen from entering
the Businesses where fish most plentiful

changed. The dangers from teeth and claws
are reduced to a minimum when the anglers
combine forces and enter the heart of the fish

protected by rifles. Trout of various species,

.VINDICATION FOR

Legal Separation and AllmOny Of
$4,000 a Year.
ATTORNEY FEES WERE $4,000
EISher Party May sue for Absolute
Divorce Later-Verdict consid'
cred 40 Clearing Her Of
Charqes.

New York, June 26.--After q trial
which lasted nearly three weeks Kath-
crime Clemmons Gould obtained Q legal
separation from her husband, Howard
Gould third son Of the late Jay Gould.
With the exception Of alimony, her
victory was complete, but in this
phase Of the case the court decided
that $4,000 a year was suhicient, Al
though in her suit Mrs. Gould asked
for 125O,O00. She has been receiving
$4,000 year from Mr.. Gould.
Il was in the vindlcatlon Of charges
OF intoxication and her alleged rela-
tons with Dustin Tarnum, 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" might have
been due to excitement A to Dustin
Tarnum It was held that her associa'
ton with him came after Mr.. and Mrs.
Gould separated and that the husband
apparently made no objection.
Delaney Nicoll, for Mr.. Gould, asked
for a go day stay Of judgment and
Clarence ]. shearn for the plaintiff
was on his feet to object. He asked
for an immediate judgment. Justice
Bowling compromised by making the
stay 30 days.
Mr.. Shearn then asked for an extra
allowance for counsel fees and the
court gave him $1,000. This together
with the $4,000 allowed recently and
the original allowance Of 5000 will
bring his fees to $4,000 with an I'D.
ditional sum Of $4,000 for expenses.
Friends Of Mrs. Gould crowded
about her as soon as the decision was
announced and she was kept busy re-
ceiving congratulations. AS the de-
cision was read she kept her head cast
down and seemed plainly disappointed
by the allowance. As soon as the case
was closed however, she shook hands
with Mr.. Shearn and thanked him
for his conduct of her case. Then she
beamed upon her friends and even
smiled upon the downcast trio Of law
yers who had fought for her husbands
interests.
Howard Gould hurried from the
room and declined to discuss the case.
Mrs. Gould drove away in an automo'
bile,
MI. Shearn jubilant at the decision
said:
Judge Dowling's decision is a
sweeping and complete vindication Of
Mrs. Gould. That has been the object
of all this bitter litigation. Mrs.
Gould could have compromised for q
fortune at any time but would never
consider for q moment anything but
the opportunity of clearing her name
In an open, public trial"
He added that either party in the
suit could still bring action for abso
lutte divorce but that Mrs. Gould could
not base such an action on the charges
involved IN the suit Just decided. Mrs
Gould's dowry right in Howard Gouldd
