NOT DIVORCED: BUT
He IS REMARKED,
WIFE IS ENGAGED
Failure to Sign Decree for
Townsends Results in
Complications.

NEW YORK, April 12.-Dr. Cyrus v.
Townsend, a leading physician Of Pater-
son, N. j.. was granted a divorce by
Vice Chancellor Stevens on March 4,
1905, from the woman he had married
fifteen years before. A year later the
doctor married again.
A few weeks ago the first Mrs. Town
send received an offer of marriage,
which she accepted. The wedding day
was set for next Saturday. To comply
with the marriage license law, Mrs.
Townsend wrote to Trenton for a copy
formed that no such decree had been
recorded.
A series Of unusual complications fol-
lowed. Mrs. Townsend was dumfound-
ed. and Immediately communicated with
her lawyer, Randall B. Lewis. In turn,
DR.. Townsend was acquainted with the
state Of affairs. He was utterly amazed.
The vice chancellor was appealed to-,
and the earnest plea was made that he
date back the divorce three years. He
consented to review the case. He now
rules that all he can do Is to sign the
decree now, and that at the expiration
Of six months II will become effective.
While this is deep disappointment
to the prospective bride, II was not to
be compared to the unpleasant predica-
ment in which her former husband finds
himself. The first Mrs. Townsend has
simply postponed her second marriage,
1t is said, until October next. At one
time she was the social leader of Pater-
son society. Her future husband is re-
ported to be a wealthy retired merchant
Of this city.
When DR.. Townsend married the sec
ond time II was in the firm belief that
he had been legally divorced. It never
occurred to him that the draft of the
decree had not been presented to the
vice chancellor for his signature. Con-
sequentfy, the divorce, although granted
by the findings Of the court, had never
been issued.

WOMAN ARRESTED
IN NEW YORK MAY
Be BROUGHT HERE
Mrs. Edith Lille Said to Be
Wanted on Fraud
Charge.

If the New York police fail to obtain
sufficient evidence to make a case
against Mrs. Edith Lille, arrested in
that city In connection with passing an
alleged worthless check for SIS, she will
probably be brought to washington to
answer charge of violation of section
Of the District code which makes it a
violation Of law to dispose Of articles
bought on the installment plan until
they have been fully paid for.
A dispatch received at headquarters
this morning from Police Inspector Rus
Sell. Of New York, indicates that Mrs.
Lille, under the name Of Pearl l.. Lille.
was arrested in this city In February,
1903, on charge Of obtaining money by
alleged false pretenses. The arrest was
made after the American Security and
Trust Company had refused to honor
three checks. two for $16250 each and
one for $50. passed at a local depart
store.
The woman said she had uninten-
uonally overdrawn her account and as
the amount of the checks was made
good, the charge against her was nolle
pressed. Later a warrant was sworn
out by George B. Bennett, who charged
her with dispostng of a piano she had
purchased from him on the installment
plan. She formerly lived at the Rivera.
225 H street northwest, but the police
had been unable to get any trace Of her
until her arrest in New York.
Mrs. Lille was arrested in New York
for passing check drawn on the
Twenty-third Ward Bank, signed oil
yer Darrell" and made out In favor of
Mrs. Oliver Darrell. DIR. Oliver b.
Darrell, a dentist, of 70l Twelfth street
northwest, said he never heard of her
until he read of her arrest in the news
papers.
Inspector Russell. in his dispatch, said
that Mrs. Lille admitted to one of his
detectives that she had been arrested in
Washington about two years ago. She
told the police she was formerly a Miss
Carroll. OF this city, and that her hus-
band is a newspaper compositor.

The law and legislation committee Of
,, the Chamber Of Commerce Is to draft
bill, and ask Congress to pass 1t. pro-
viding for interchangeable transfers be-
tween all street railway companies
operating In the District, and also for
half fare rates for all school children.
The committee was directed to take this
action by the whole Chamber when
Charles w. Darr's resolution was put
to vote at the meeting last night.
The vote placing the Chamber ON rec
ord in favor of such legislation was
overwhelming. and. while many
speakers advocated its passage, three
opposed It. John w. Magruder, Charles
c. Lancaster, and Albert Schulteis.
The resolution as introduced by Mr..
Darr stipulated that half fares should
be charged for children between six
and fourteen years OF age, but he ac-
cepted an amendment. proposed by
Allen z. Davis, changing the wording
so as to include all school children.
Mr.. Davis said that he had secured
considerable information about this
practice in other cities and that high
school pupils should be entitled to half
fare as we'll as the children In the lower
grades.
Congress Will Investigate.
The objection to the resolution was
answered by Mr.. Darr with the state
