BILE to provide suitable entertainment

the fact that there are no facilities Tor

ACTRESS HAS
MYSTERIES IN
SUPERIOR COURT

May Dalton ODonnell, an actress
who has appeared at the Hippodrome
and at Luna Park, Coney Island, Gre
ated scene in the Superior court
brought against her by Lewis G.
O'DonneH of Stamford was being
heard. While O,DonneH was testify
ing the actress sobbed so loudly and
created such q disturbance that depu-
ty sheriffs rushed over and forced
her to subside. Yesterday afternoon
Mrs. O'Donnell's younger sister punch
court house.
The action is brought on the ground
of cruelty. ODonnell, who is an en-
gineer in q power house at Cos Cob,
testified that his wife frequently at
tackled him and that once she pick
ed up knife and chased him around
the room. They had lived in 40 diff
ferent places in New York city but
had been compelled to move because
the defendant created so many dis
turbances.
. The father said Mrs. ODonneI tried
to take her daughter and put her on
the stage in part in which she
would be compelled to wear tights.
She also wanted to give their son Win
field to a cousin. O'Donnell testified
that he and his wife had 60 or 70
fights since they were married.
MIS-. Bertha ODonneil, SlSter-In-laW
of the plaintiff, remembered that
ODonnell had visited her house in
New York several times when his
face was scratched. On these occa-
sions his collar had been torn off.
O'Donnell claims his wife inflicted
the scratches.
Alvah H. Worden and Harry Stud
we'll of Greenwich testified that
.O'Donnell bore a good reputation in
the community and that he always
paid his bills Emeline DuThoit New
bert, agent for a children's home in
Stamford said O'Donnell brought his
two minor children to the nome five
years ago. Since that time Mrs.
lO'Donnell had visited them frequent
ly but never stayed more than ten
minutes, although she could have
stayed three. hours.
Mrs. O'Donneu is contesting the
suit and has filed cross bill, alleg-
ing into1erable cruelty. Her side of
the case went on this afternoon.

TELLS
OF Three MORE
ARCHIBALD DEALS

Washington, May 29-Three more
'tculm" coal deals of Judge Robert
w. Archibald of the commerce court
were divulged, today, to the House
judiciary committee by Thomas p
Jones, a Scranton coal land specula-
tor. Archibald told him, Jones testi-
fed, that he had assurances from
could lease a 100000 ton "culm" dump
if the Girard estate, of Philadelphia,
part owner with the railroad, was
agreeable.
In Archbald's office, last December,
Jones said, he and Archibald agreed
to form the Zones Coal Co.." to lease
the railroad and Girard property.
They wrote a letter to the Girard es-
tate manager asking a lease but
Jones said he had heard nothing since
about 1t.
Thomas Farrell, another coal dealer.
agreed to put up the money for the
deal, according to Jones.
Jones said he disc took 10 day op-
ton to buy the Katydid culm pile for
s25, 900 from Edward j. Williams.
Archbald's alleged partner. He said
the option was signed by Williams in
Archbald's office, but that the deal
fell through when Archibald said the
title was bad.
A third coal deal, Jones cited, was
that with John Henry Jones. of Scran-
ton. for the Oxford coal washery near
Shenandoah. He said John Henry
Jones told him that Archibald had
described the dumps location. He
admitted having sued the Marion Coal
Co owned by William P. Boland, in
stieator of the Archibald prosecution.

later secured was set aside.

MARINES Will BE
PLACED ON CUBAN
SOIL IF NEEDED

Washington, May 29-With the ar
rival of the united States army trans
port Prairie at Guantanamo with IT'S
marines aboard, the government is to-
day prepared to send these marines
into the troubled province of Oriente,
Cuba, there to aid in guarding Amer
lean property which is endangered by
negro rebel bands, or to assist the
Cuban officials in putting down the
revolt.
This force is now on American ter
ritory-the United States naval sta
tion-but it is known that officials
here will not hesitate to order them
onto Cuban soil If the events require
such action.
The province of Oriente, which is
now the scene of the most serious dis
turbances. is close to Guantanamo and
United States marines can be dis
patched there within a very few
hours.
The attitude Of the rebels under Cen
eral Estenos is held to be most threat
ening. Estenos claims that if he is
not able to obtain assurances that the
Morua law, prohibiting the organiza-
ton of a strictly political party, would
be repealed, he will force owners of
railroads and other corporations to
contribute funds with which to pro-
long the conflict against the Gomez
regime. In the meantime, small bands
Of blacks are pillaging stores and
stealing horses.
