NEW YORK. Sept. 11-.-Sherin BOD
Chanler is still in hiding Members OF
his family. however. know where he is.
and continued their conferences today
in an endeavor to ind a remedy for the
situation in which the mad infatuation
of the former millionaire for the opera
singer has placed him From these
conferences there were little oUtcrop-
pings OF rumor. one story was thft
the family and the six trustees of the
fortune had decided not TO honor the
agreement made BY the love maddened
Sheriff Bob.
All the securities of the family are in
this country. and should the ChanIers
refuse TO pay the $4,000 a year income
left to the sheriff, Lima Cavaliert would
have TO sue in this country to compel
them TO carry out the agreement. 1T
was rumOred> tonight that the family
had decided upon a defense in case the
singer should sue. and this defense
would be emotional insanity-that in a
moment of emotional insanity akin to
Harry Thsw's "brainstorm' the Anglo
Saxon suceUmbed to the Latin.
SINGER WITH EXPERIENCE
When Lima Cavalieri. whose debut
was made in cafe, put her arms about
the neck Of Chanler md induced him to
sign away his income she brought to
bear upon him a world of experience
whose value she could not have misun-
derstood. For Cavalieri has seldom
come off the worst in an encounter. and
sheriff Bob" is not the first man who
has left her side penniless and disil-
lusioned.
In 1895 Cavalieri was a milliner--a
step upward from the barefooted flower
girl-in Rome, with vaudeville aspira-
tions. She made her real debut i'm vaU-
deville at the Orfeo i'm Rome There the
Marquis Carlo di RUdini. son Of a for
mer premier of italy. saw her and be-
came her protector" She was sent 70
school. and her voice was cultivated
From the night of her opening song she
had horses, carriages and liveried ser
wants But the father of the youn%
nobleman took legal steps. \ guardian
was appointed who took charge of hi
Rudinfs property. The young man
himself was sent on "a voyage TO China.
But Lima had had her start She
moved to Paris. where she soon became
the chief figure in a certain class. she
appeared at the FOlies Bergeres and
became the sensation of Paris "the
most beautiful woman in Europe" soon
it was reported that she had been
married TO Prince Bariotinsky. a Rus
sian
MARRIED ONCE BEFORE
On her singing visits TO New York
Cavalieri has not said much about this
marriage. Once, in discussing reports
that she would become Mrs. Chanlsr,
she said. I have been married once
News of a divorce from the Russian
prince was not prominent in the news
papers of that time. though the an
nouncement of the marriage had been
widecast. But Cavaheri was always
fond of Russian mobiles. The grand
duke Alexis. uncle of the car was
seen much in the singers carris &c
when he visited Paris. Then followed
Cavalieri's visit to Russia. Paris sos-
siped over that visit The bOulevards
also chattered that Lima had met in
exile Prince Louis jBOnaps rte. who
wished TO be emperor Of the French. It
also would appear that he. too. became
ardently in love with the singer. On
her departure for Paris he said:
"Adieu- We shall meet in that Paris
which shall be our home forever"
Such were parts OF the experience
and training that Lima Cavalieri was
able 10 bring TO bear upon ''Bp0-
Chanler.
