The Chanler-CavaIleri Case.

Paris. Oct. 14.-That she did not dc
so we'll financially by marrying
Sheriff" Bob Chanler, is the emphatic
reiteration today of Nine. Lima Cava
lieri-Chanler. To United Press repre-
sentative whom she received today al
her home in the Avenue Messine, SHE
said with great indignation.
Il read everywhere OF the incalcu'
liable advantages my few months Of
marriage to Mr.. Chanler have brought
me. Let me tell you something. The
real value OF the now famous Red Hook
property is $4,000. A $4,000 mort
gage hangs over it; remainder, $4,000
All the New York houses mentioned
are worth perhaps $500, 900 and not
100000 as stated. Moreover this
figure has been dug into considerably.
For instance, Mr.. CHAMBERS first wife
has 800, 600 claim on the sum and a
$40, 900 mortgage added leaves me net
but 100000. Total 5000 Why
$1,000 wouldn't buy one pearl
necklace. The income Of Mr.. Chanler
doesn't amount TO 100000 year. i
am guaranteed only $4,000 a year
from it.
Let it be understood once for all
that l didn't marry Mr.. Chanler be-
cause | loved him, 1t was not a mar
rage Of love. Mr.. Chanler was not
able to secure my consent TO the mar
riage until he paraded love without
limit, passionate, violent-and it may
be added theoretically bolstering it up
with a serious guarantee for the future.
And that's al,l'

PRESIDENT APPROVES PLAN.

President Taft yesterday finally APP
proved plans for raising the wreck OF
the battleship Maine from Havana
harbor, which calls for the completion
OF the work on or before the thirteenth
anniversary OF tho destruction Of the
war vessel, February Is next. The
work is to be done according to plans
made by army engineers and to be
under direction Of an engineer officer.
The presi lent believes that the para.
mount question in the raising Of the
Maine is the determining for all time OF
the cause of the explosion and whet or
the source of destruction was from the
outside or inside the vessel. For this
reason he desires that the work shall be
retained in the hands of the army en-
eineers and not let out by contract.
By direction of the president, Spain
has been invited to send a representa-
tive to Havana to be present during
the work Of exposing and removing
the wreck.

Loomis Expected to Die.

Cortlandt, N. Y, Oct. 14.-Because
of the danger OF blood poisoning and
tetanus, there is possibility that Dr.
Loring B. LOOMS. the New York min
ing promoter and speculator who shot
and killed Lillian Elodie Dodge-Chute,
prcpos,essiug young stenographer,
becaus. she refused to marry him, may
never be tried for his crime. LOOMS
has but slight chance to recover.
Mrs. Loomis, from whom he has been
separated for some time, IS at his bed
side. She arrived last night from Chi
cago and there was an affecting scene
between the couple, although Mrs.
LOOMS had started a suit for absolute
divorce. I'VE lived happily until a
year ago" she said. 1T was because
business took him away from home so
much that he fell in with this other
woman"

WILL JAPAN RECOGNIZE
TREATY MADE BY KOREA?
Agreement With the United
States Involved in Arrest
of American.

The question Of the recognition by
Japan of the provisions of the treaty be-
tween Korea and the United States has
arisen iii connection with the arrest of
John Kavenaugh, an American, at Ply
enS-Yang, Korea. The particular point
at issue relates to the 1extra-territorial
stipulation of the treaty, which pro-
vides that American offenders shall be
tried by an American consular court lin
Korea.
Charged With Resisting Trespass.
Kavenaugh was charged with resist
ing the trespass of Koreans upon prop
erty which he claimed. 1t is said he
tore down two houses built by Koreans
upon his land, and for this act he was
arrested. Pending the determination Of
the question as to whether the extra
territorial rights of the United States
shall be recognized under the Japanese
.ule, kavenaugh was released on his
Jwn recognizance. This gives the Jap
inese authorities the right to take him
into custody on the same charge at any
time they desire in the future.
Outcome Important.
The matter was reported to the State
Department by Consul General Scidmere,
at Seoul. The outcome is regarded by
department officials as important They
declare 1t is a principle of international
law that when one nation assumes con-
troll of another 1T accepts all the inter-
national obligations of the subordinate
