Money.

COBHAM, Va, Sept. 13.-I am
sorry for him, but 1t is my turn to
laugh" declared John Armstrong
Chaloner, with a display OF mirth,
when asked for his opinion of the
outcome OF the marriage of his
brother, Sheriff Bob" Chanler, to
Lima Cavalieri
Il foretold 1t. When | first heard
OF the engagement of my ex.brother
to the singer. telegraphed Bob to
be sure to keep enough money to buy
himself clothes and lunch" continued
Chaloner. II sent my congratulations
to Cavalieri at the time of the en-
gagement and after the wedding. but
never to Bob. She was the one to be
congratulated on the successful out
come of her plans. But / knew her
from the first. have never met her

nomy."
Chaloner received a reporter in his
bedroom. Over the head of the bed,
within easy reach, hung a big 44-cali-
Der revolver, which he caressed now
ard then as he talked. Leaning back
In the pillows, Chaloner, who changed
his name from Chanler because of
hatred for his family, continued the
interview. His feeling against his
brother was apparent.
II told Bob at the time that he
should beware of alimony assaults
and keep enough OF his patrimony to
live on, for he would not have much
left when the song-bird got through
with him. cannot say that l know
Cavalieri, but l knew what she in
tended doing with Bob. though 1t was
none of my business. She Is his wife,
not mine. have had troubles enough
of my own, without being married
to a songbird.
II would say, from the standpoint
OF q lawyer, that l do not think that
the agreement is ironclad, and that
he can get the major portion Of his
money back.
Cavalier Ia a wonderful woman:
she is AT to be ranked with the great
the cruelty great and the greatly
cruel women Of history. l believe
Bob was and is still In love with her.
He is in the hypnotic power OF love
for the song-bird, who succeeded In
trapping him. l am sorry that he
should be held up before the world
In this light, but he now knows that

Cavaliers Brother To Rescue.
NEW YORK, Sept. 13.--Lina, Cava-
lieri's brother, Oreste Cavalier, who
Ia living at the Hotel Savoy, says:
The sensational stories which
have been given 80 much prominence
of late are untrue, and / wish to deny
them emphatically. My sister is re-
covering from a severe illness which
has compelled her to remain In
France, and Mr.. Chanler, because Of
business engagements, has been oblig- |
ed to come to this country to attend
to them. The entire story is nothing |
more than an attempt to make a SEN |
story out of an everyday and
occurrence, which con-
Germs no one but Mrs. Chanler and
her husband"
Mime. CavalierI Admits Hitch.
PARIS, Sept. 13.-Mme. Lima Cav
alieri has not yet cinched her hold
on the fortune Of Robert w. Chanler,
the New York millionaire. She adj
mitted as much to representative Of
the United Press, VINO called on ner
today in her apartments In the Rue
Messine.
"All these statements Of the alb
surdly large amounts OF money I have
received from my husband are mere |
fiction" said the diva. 1T Is true
that a marriage settlement was ar
ranged and signed before the Ameri-
can consul, but such procedure is the
very commonest over here and Is
never looked upon in the light in
which 1t is viewed by America. Robert
realized this and made no objection to
the compact. 1t is tru ethat some Of the
details of the agreement have never
been settled and my attorneys are at
tending TO those"
Cavalier tactily admitted that there
had been some slight hitch between
her and her husband over these de-
tails, but insisted that II was a triv-
iality and had not in any sense dis
rupted their married bliss. In proof
of thi. she showed the correspondent
another loving cablegram received
from her husband today.
