WIFE REFUSES TO
FREE PERCY Belts
Asserts He Knew She Was
a Divorce - Fights
Annulment Plan.

Percy de Marac Belts, banker and
broker of 49 Exchange Place, who was
graduated from Harvard in 1899, will
apply to-day for formal decree of
annulment of his marriage to Mrs.
Emma Marie Belts. She will at the
! same time move to have the decree
get aside.
The recommendation that the mar
riage be annulled was made in April,
on the ground that Mr.. Belts had
thought that he was marrying a widow,
whereas he was in reality marrying
the former wife of Silas W Ferguson
who obtained a divorce that made il
impossible for her to marry again in
this state. The annulment proceed
ings were undefended in April by Mrs.
Belts.
Mrs. Belts. in her request that the
decree be set aside, alleges that her
husband knew when he met her that
she was not widow. because it was
on his advice that she compelled her
first husband, Ferguson, TO support
her daughter. She further asserts
that she married Belts at his earnest
request. She also states that they
we're married in New Jersey as we'll
as New York.
Many explanations arc given by
Mrs. Belts why she had not defended
the action at an earlier date. Il is as
serted by her that week before the
time for opposing the action had ex-
pired she went to East Worcester be-
cause her mother was dying, and that
while she was there her father was
stricken with paralysis. BY the time
she returned from her fathers bed
side. she says, the annulment had been
made.
Mrs. Belts further alleges that af
ter she had lived happily with Belts
for several years he asked her to hide
their marriage certificates so that his
sister would not see them and be Of.
Tended; that she did so, and that they
then disappeared from her.
The difficulty is, says Mrs. Belts.
that her husband became infatuated
with another woman,

KENNEDY CHARGES FAIL
Court Quashes Indictments
Against Former Warden.

Justice Morschauser, of the Supreme
Court, it was announced yesterday, has
quashed the indictments against John
S. Kennedy, former warden, charging
him with mismanagement of Sing Sing
prison.
The indictment against Lyman Gibbs,
former storekeeper, was also set aside.
Justice Morschauser, however, finds
that there was some basis for the al
legations that Kennedy was derelict
about stamping out immortality among
prisoners and advises that this part
of the testimony be resubmitted to
another grand jury.
Tic indictments were set aside on
the ground that much of the testimony
was irrelevant and prejudicial and
should not have been allowed before
the grand jury.

day to their consul and are holding
themselves in readiness to go when

The French walters in Mouquin's,

occasionally to discuss the latest war

their managers of their intention of
leaving as soon as they could find a
ship to carry them back home.
The Cafe Lafayette, in University

Fatherland, even if he had to swim.
In the East Side restaurants Ser

the same tables and discussed peace
ably the war news. Germans, French
men and Russians mingled freely in
the little cafes. Even the play
ing of Austro- Hungarian patriotic airs
in Little Hungary" failed last night
to bring a single cheer. Many in this
place were more concerned over the
whereabouts of Max Schwartz, the pro-
prietor, who was last heard of in
Vienna.

Application Goes to Com
MERGE Commission as
Soon as Possible.
CASE is URGENT,
SAY THE MANAGERS
Seeking Increase in Most In
stances, They Are Willing to
Lower Some Charges.

Washington, Aug. 3-The applica-
tions'of the Western railways for more
revenue, an expected consequence of
the commissions decision in the East
ern rate case, announced Saturday, will
be presented as soon as they can be
prepared in the required form, and will
constitute the basis for another pro-
ceeding such as the one just concluded
Managers of the Western lines, &C
cording to the best information in Of
fetal circles here, are prepared to con-
tend that they need more revenues to
meet the increasing expenses of opera
ton, and to point out that their lines
are in even greater need Of relief than
the Eastern lines. because of neces-
sarily longer hauls and less density of
population.
No intimation has reached the Inter
state Commerce Commission Of the
percentage of increases for which the
Western railways purpose to ask. In
formal exchanges between officials OF
the Western lines and the commission
indicate that it is not the purpose of
the roads TO propose horizontal ad-
vance in all rates, as was done by the
Eastern carriers. The proposed tariffs
will be i'm the form Of a scientific re-
adjustment Of both the class and com
modify rate structures, the amount OF
the increase varying with the charac-
ter Of the shipments and the class OF
traffic.
Preparation of the tariffs in that
way will increase many rates and lower
others. The general trend Of the re-
vision, however. will be upward. What
percentage over existing rates this in
crease may amount 70 cannot be fore
told, but il probably will not be less
than ) per cent.
The suggestion OF the commission in
its decision Of the Eastern case. that
rates at present unremunerativc be in
creased and that the rate structures be
readiusted along modern lines, will be
followed. The commission has indi-
Gated its intention 10 stand squarcly
behind the roads in such efforts as
they may make TO place their rates or
a basis equitable alike 10 the shipping
public and TO themselves.
It appears probable that the pro.
posed new schedules Of rates may be
fled with the commission just before
/ October I. The time Of filing will de-
pend, however. upon the ability of the
carriers 90 get the tariffs into fnaI
fern.

cruel We were all copversant with his
case at the time, but ] will quote the
man who knew him and his sufferlngs
most intimately, Here is his crude mar
ratiye written 10 me on prison paper:
William keegan died in August of
this year 19l3) at the pen. He was
first taken sick with pains in the legs,
hands and arms, and went to morning
done, because he was little deaf and
could not hear what the doctor said.
and so could explain no further, and
he was in very bad fix. They did
nothing for him, and he was afraid TO
see the doctor, because he would have
been impatient. and would have sent
him to the hole, and then he would
lose time. But he did go up to see
him after the pains got into his back
also, and be, told HIM he would like to
get out of the stone shed; and the doe.
tor told him there was nothing the mat.
ter with him. but he was only taking
and trying to get out Of work--whjcb [
know and can swear to as not being
true,
eff ever there was sick man, Kee.
gan was him. He told NJ, tho foreman,
about it Que day, who told him to have
the doctor look him over, and sent him
up one afternoon; the doctor looked
him over and told him he was ONLY a
crank-nothiDg at all the matter with
him, Soon after he was taken very sick
and one night | called the prison nurse
to his cell, and he had him taken TO
the hospital, where he stayed some time.
but it did him no good, for he came
back to the cellhouse in just as bad
work IN the paint house, and aftor he
had been there about week they said
he was crazy, and put him in the hole.
He was treated shamefully in the hole,
for the prison nurse told me so. Then
he was taken again to the hospital, and
he never came out of it, for he died
there, and the, prison nurse told me he
suffered terribly before his death. This
/ will swear is true before God
every near every man in the non
had bad stomach, and could get moth
ing for it, for if you went to TIE doctor
he would tell you you ate too much and
give you a big, dose of salts, and if you
did not take them he would put YOU in

time. But if man had pull he
