Chicago, June 9-Madame Ernestine
Schumann-Heink was today granted a
divorce from her husband, William
Rapp, Jr., whose ardent epistles to

The victory for the famous contral-

favor of the complainant The divorce
hearing was marked principally by
the emotional letters written by Rapp

defence would prove allegations which
would offset the conduct charged
against her husband.
No attempt was made to contradict
The authenticity of the letters credit

Broken Track Caused
DeraiIment inWhiCh
II Passengers
Are Injured
SAYS Continued Use Of Same
Construction Dangerous

Washington, June 9.-In a report to
the Interstate Commerce Commission
today on the cause of a wreck of a
New York. New Haven & Hartford
passenger train near Westerly K. l.,
Oct. 25. 1913, H. W. Belnap, chief In
spector of safety appliances, finds that
derailment of the train was due to
broken rail. The wreck resulted in the
injury of "a passengers and three en-
ployes.
Mr.. Belnap declared investigation
had shown that the rail fractured I'M
der the New Haven train by reason
of the presence of transverse assures
in it's head, caused by high wheel
loads with their attending strains.
The inspector further reported that
the presence in the New Haven track
and continued use of rails of the same
or similar construction and exposed to
the same service conditions is a
source of danger
In connection with the report MIR.
Belnap pointed out that deraiments
caused by broken rails since July /,
1901, numbered 1852, in which It's per
sons lost their lives, 6004 were injured
and damages aggregated $3,23b793.
Because of the peculiar type of ifs
sures, which cannot be detected in
rails until they are worn to the sur
face, Inspector Belnap declares that
it seems apparent that remedy hes
in the diminishing of wheel pres
sures."

and came up behind the Yale boat house.

grievance was that the village had
been referred to by them as John D.
Rockefeller's town" This assertion,
President Pierson declared to be UNI
founded, as Mr.. Rockefeller owned no
property and had no interests in the
village.
Then it was explained that the
streets of Tarrytown belong to the
abutting property and are subject to
traffic control by the trustees, who
cannot grant permits for meetings in
them.
From suggestions made by several
of the trustees, 1t appeared that Tar
rytown had decided to establish free
speech forum on some lot, permission
for the use of which may be obtained
from the owner. The visitors We're

that it matters little whether repre-

The American delegates maintain
that sufficient time should be granted
and certain concessions made by the
mediators to allow Carranza to have
his agents here, personally to discuss
and approve whatever peace plan
finally may be adopted. 1t is not at
all unlikely that the American dele
gates will meet the Constitutionalists
and Huerta delegates in conference
while the mediators are in recess.
When an agreement between the
Huerta delegates and Constitutional
lists is reached, it would be submitted
to the mediation board, and a protocol
then signed.
Frederick w. Lehman, one of the
American delegates came over to the
Canadian side tonight and talked for
nearly two hours with Luis Elguero
one of the Mexican delegates. 1t was
understood that the two men were

of the few occasions when delegates OF
both sides talked directly without
transmitting their views through the
