Ignored Pittsburg Subpoena in
Divorce Case-Arrested

NEW YORK, June 16.-As they were
about to sit down to dinner last night
in the ,R~itz-Carlton Hotel, Captain I.
! w. Kirkbride, of the British army, and
his friend, Alfred George Curphey,
named as correspondent in the divorce
suit brought in Pittsburg by Andrew
T.. Mellon, the banker, were arrested
by central office detectives. They were
| charged with contempt of court and
| obstructing public justice.
Judge Mulqueen, of General Sessions,
held an extraordinary session of court
in the Democratic Club n held the
two in $500 bail to await extradition.
A bondsman was obtained.
Both Englishmen characterized their
arrest as outrageous. They declared
they had rome to Pittsburg from Eng
land voluntarily. and had come to New
York for a consultation upon a tele-
phone call from their lawyers. Both
! admitted having ignored %subpoenas TO

paper was returned before the lawyers
for the other side"

marriage was Nora McMullen, daughter
of a wealthy brewer in Hertfordshire,
England. Mr.. Curphey is a London
clubman. who had known Mrs. Mellon
when they we're children.
Sixteen sleuth Photographs.
The case sprang into prominence
owing to the discovery by Mrs. Mellon
two weeks after the suit had been fled
that the mansion in which she was liv-
ing was equipped with sixteen phono5
graphs, so arranged hat they would
take down every conversation in any
part of the house. Photographs Of the
instruments became public, together
with the details of an axe raid upon
them by Mrs. Melons lawyer.
On May 8 last Governor Tener. Of
Pennsylvania, approved a mysterious
bill declared to have been passed
through Melons influence, especially
to aid him in the divorce proceedings.
This legislation was followed Monday
by the forcible removal of Mrs. Mellon
from the Forbes, street residence.
Her two children were taken to the
home Of Richard Quay in Sewickly by
order of the court on the petition of the
husband.

her husband, her bed, linens and effects

The Bryces and Gould-Decies Wedding

Decies and her daughter. Hon. Mrs.
Wilkerson, bore down upon the capital
for a nice little visit with the former
naval ttach of the American en-
bassy at LOndon and Mrs. Gibbons.
When the visitors arrived they were
promptly and fearfully Toasted after
noon and evening-at the homes OF
smart society, at the country clubs.
and, incidentally, over to the White
House they ~journeyed one pleasant
afternoon and drank five o'clock tea
with Mrs. Taft. Next thing everybody
knew the DOwager Lady Decies was
dining over at the British embassy.
Now the story goes that the ambas-
sador didn't go to the wedding because
he isn't fond of wearing his ~gold-laced
clothes. Mrs. Bryce, who has a naive
ly frank enjoyment of the glamour and
glitter of a-mbassadOrial prominence
and such internationally glorious
international events as the GOuld-De-
cies wedding. likes nothing better
thar to get properly fixed up" n be
among those present" and she a
MT pleased a bit when the am
bassador shrugged his scholarly Shout
ders and, thinking how much more
comfy he would be sitting at home
with a nice well-thumbed book on his
knee, stopped pat in Washington.
However, Mrs. Bryce, like the wise and
o5edient wife she is, put her glori-
Gus raiment and contented herself with
reading the newspaper accounts of lne
great event.

Official notice has now been given to
the clerks that on the lines where
their work is heavy continuously for

as six hours. 1t is announced also
that credit for overtime will be given

With this arrangement the clerks gen

duty. The total average Of time on
duty on trains and at terminals is now
six hours and thirty-two minutes.

brother John, who had been an in

him to prepare the body for burial.
Relatives and friends were asked TO
attend h funeral. When he reached

found that his brothers features wer
much distorted and that he had aged
apparently about forty years. Becker
hurried to the hospital to learn the
cause of the sudden change. AS he
entered the hospital. he got a glad
shock which took his breath away as
he was confronted by his brother.
After a talk with the superintendent
it developed that the institution had
been caring for two persons OF the
same name, and the authorities had
notified the relatives of the wrong
man.
