PROBABLY A TOTAL LOSS,
Schooner Sunk in Collision Almost
Cut in Two.

The four-masted schooner Herbert d.
Maxwell, which was sunk in a collision
with the steamship Gloucester of the
Merchants and Miners line of Baltimore,
will probably be total loss. The vessel,
it is stated, was almost cut in halves and
lies in forty-eight feet of water near
Thomas Point light station, on Chesa-
peake bay, about a mile below the en-
oils.
The Maxwell was an old trader to the
Chesapeake and has often been in port
here. 1t is probable that as soon as 1t is
definitely determined that she cannot be
raised the United States engineers will
take charge of the wreck and will re-
move it from the path of navigation.
The lighthouse authorities have sent
out a warning to vessel masters to exer-
else caution when In the vicinity OF the
sunken vessel until the wreck can be re-
moved.

WIFE SEEKS SEPARATION
Mrs. Helen L. Couden Sues
Her Husband, Rear Ad-
miraI, Retired.

Albert r. COuden, rear ADMIRAL u. s.
NJ, retired, is named defendant in a suit
for legal separation filed in the District
Supreme Court by his wife. Mrs. Helen
u. Couden. The wife charges desertion
and asks alimony commensurate with
her station as wife of an admiral in the
navy.
Mrs. Couden, who was Mrs. Addicks,
widow of Paymaster Addicks, at the
time of her second marriage, says she
was in Europe in February. 1911, and ad-
vised her husband Of her return and the
probable date of her arrival. She al
leges that although he received her letter
he failed to meet her when she arrived
in the United States and has since re-
fused to live with her and now keeps
his whereabouts unknown to her. She
has made frequent efforts to locate him,
she states, but has been unsuccessful
Reduces Her Allowance.
Prior to February, 1911, Mrs. Couden
says, her husband made her monthly
allowance of $3.50 out of his annual sal
airy of $1,000 For March, 1911, he gave
her only $16666. she states, and since
that time has been allowing her only
$1OO per month. The admirars wife de-
clares this sum is insufficient to main
tain her in the station in life to which
she has been accustomed. She has nc
means beyond the monthly allowance
she tells the court.
The Coudens were married at the
United States Naval Asylum in Phila-
delphia December 5. 1888, by Rev. Ben
jamin Watson. They have no children
Attorney Charles l.. Frailey appears for
the wife.

they lived together in different parts OF
the world, but having Washington as
their general residence. BY tacit con-
sent they lived apart for some time prior
to February. 1911, the wife says, but
kept up a correspondence.
