suit and Counter Suit.

Wilmington, Del, Sept. 1S.-It is
not probable that the sensational dis
coveries OF John Bancroft, jr-, against
bis wife, Madeleine Du Pont Bancroft,
and the counter suit filed by the wife
against the husband, both actions based
on statutory grounds, will come up for
Trial at the September term of court
today. although the cases are on the
calendar.
Service was had on the young wife
on the original action but Bancroft has
been in the west since June, and the
authorities have been unable to locate
him to make service on him on his
Hife's counter suit.
The court will decide whether the
cases are to be taken up separately or
jointly. In the event of a decision be-
ing reached to take them up jointly
they will have to go over to the No
vember term.
There also seems to be feeling that
che case will not come up in its present
shape. the members OF the families OF
both parties, who are prominent ID So
cial circles, Directing to the notoriety OF
the evidence, in which young Bancroft
will attempt to prove that the couple s
child is Max Hiebler, ir., Of Munich,
Germany, will bring to them.
Bancroft may remain away and his
wife file suit on grounds of desertion
which he will not oppose and in this
way divorce the couple.

Edison, Automobile Kills Child.

Laue, Beveria, Sept. 15.-Although
not actually under arrest, ThomLs A.
Edison's and his family are detained
here today pending the result OF an
inquiry into the death OF child
run over and killed by the American
inventors automobile near here. It
is not thought that the party will be
delayed long, as there is apparently
little doubt but that the accident was
due to the heedlessness of the child
who was playing in the road, and
failed to note the approach of the
machine. Before the chauffeur could
stop, the little one had been crushed
beneath the wheels.

with State Department Officials.
fFrom The Tribune Bureau.


Washington. March 2l.-Dr. David Jayne
Hill. American Ambassador TO Berlin. who
is now In New York. will come 10 Washing
ton some day this week for conference
with State Department officials on the pot
ash dispute. which is the subject Of diplo-
matte negotiations with the German gov
ernment.
The reply 10 the final proposal made by
the State Department some time ago 10
the German Ambassador Tor the considera-
tion OF the German government has not
been received. II il confidently expected.
however, that this will point the way Tor
the settlement Of the dispute. Two alter
natives are suggested by the department
one providing for the settlement Of the
controversy through commercial channeis
as the problem is primarily commercial
one. the other through diplomatic channels
The former appears 70 find chief favor
with tile German Foreign Office. II Is ex-
pected. however. that either would bring
about A successful solution IN case the
German government desires modification
OF the details OF either plan proposed Am
bassador Hill will be at hand for consulta-
ton with the department. in order that
there may be no delay In bringing the case
10 q conclusion.
