TELLS OF MARITAL WOES
PrIma Dona Takes Stand in Divorce
-schumann-Heink Seeks Dl-
vorce on Statutory Grounds.

Chicago. Nine. Ernestine Schu-
mann-Heink unfolded the story Of her
domestic woes before a jury hearing
her suit for divorce from William
Rapp, Jr, of New York. Rapp, she
said, had been friendly to "a blonde
lady in New York" whom she subse-
uuently named as Mrs. Catharine
Dean
Two depositions we're read, one
from Mrs. Julia Williams, maid for
merly employed by Mrs. Dean, and
one from New York detective, who
told of numerous visits to a Fifth ave.
nue. restaurant by Mrs. Dean and
Rapp. According to his deposition,
the detective followed Rapp many
nights from his office in West Thirty
fourth street to various places where
he met Mrs. Dean.
The deposition of Mrs. Williams was
that Rapp had lived at the apartment
Of Mrs. Dean for several months in
1913
In cross-examination, Nine. Schu-
mann-Heink frequently expostulated
with her husbands attorney.
Let me say what / wish, please,
she begged. Il do not mean to say
the wrong thing"
Rapp charged in a cross-bill that
his wife had been too friendly with
other men. She denied the accusa-
tions. She said she never had any
love for Edward Mcnamara, one-time
policeman, who visited her in New
Jersey. She declared he came for mu-
sic lessons, not for love-makfng.
'Who was with you in CALDWELL N.
J. % the attorney asked Wasn't there
man named Mcnamara" ?"
The question aroused Mrs. Schu-
man-Heink's wrath Her eyes blazed.
81 never have lived with any mar" +"
she answered. "I have lived alone
since my husband left"
Il hadn't asked you that" the law
yer replied.
The singer told of consultation
with Rapp at her Chicago home last
July. She testified that her husband
then said he wanted divorce.
"rdidn't want divorce, told him, .
she said. Il am happy as ! am with
my children and my art. told him
L would never think of marrying again.
Always said / never wanted a di
vorce.'
The singer has eight children, one
adopted and seven by previous mar
riages. The Oldest, she said, was 81
years old.

young white woman, held in Jail here
on charge of theft of diamonds from
a local jewelry store, made her escape.

Jail yard enclosure and footprints We're
the only clews to the means of es-

The following description has been
sent out by the sheriff: Minnie

Brewer in No Hurry.

BreWCF IN no nuTfys
Gov. Brewer will not name the spe.
cial judge to preside over the June
term of criminal court In Kinds county
until about ten days hence, and thus
far he has declined to give an intima-
tion of his choice, even to intimate
friends.
Exceptional interest is attached to
this appointment because of the fact
that the judge who is named will pre-
side over the trial of Lieut.-Gov. Theo.
q. Bilbo, charged with completely in
the Delta county bribery transaction,
in which the principals were State
Senator G. A. Hobbs and Steve Castle
man, the latter a prominent citizen of
Belzoni.
The court term convenes two wee6s
hence, and the governor sees no neces-
sity for being in hurry with his
selection. 1t is known that he has sew
eral names pending for consideration,
among them being some of the fore
most members of the Mississippi bar.
Lieut.. Gov. Bilbo has been making
strenuous complaint, over the fact that
Gov. Brewer has the naming OF the
special judge, claiming that the gov
ernor is also the principal prosecutor
in the. case, and that the selection
ought to be made by a non-partisan.
1t is known, however, that Gov. Brewer
is going to follow his own judgment
without advice or suggestion from any
quarter.
District Attorney J. H. Howie will
be assisted in the prosecution by
Messrs. Powell & Thompson Of the
Jackson bar, who took prominent parts
in the trials of Prison Trustees c. G.
Smith and w. A. Montgomery last
summer, each resulting in conviction,
They also aided in the prosecution OF
T. H. Turley, former steward OF the
Mississippi Insane hospital, whose
three-year sentence in the penitentiary
was cancelled by death before the su
preme court passed on his appeal.

uation exercises took place at the
Pythian castle hall. This was the first
class OF trained nurses to graduate

tionally high grades under the instruc-
ton and direction of Miss Louise Hays

high plane, maintaining strict discip-
line and insisting upon system and
method at all times.
The members of the graduating class

Miss Mable Lassille Tanner of Jack
son, Mrs. Nolia Smith Allen Of Jack
son, Miss Mary Katherine Moore Of
Stage, Miss Mary Alma Smith of
BrookhaYen, Miss Fannie Ollie Hemby

Miss Anna Irene Hedge of Citronelle,

jackson.
The Mississippi railroad commission
adjourned after disposing of sundry
matters that were on the docket. The
commission made an order directing
all railroads operating in the state to
see that their passenger stations and
waiting rooms are thoroughly cleaned
and garnished at least once each
month"; This is matter which came
up following systematic investigation
and observation by Dr. w. H. Rowan,
state sanitary inspector, and also In
dependent investigation by the COM
missioners themselves.
The commission made an order di-
recting the Southern railway in Mis-
sissippi to build new freight depot
and sidetrack at Indianola, together
with a freight platform, rs by 20 feet.
The work is to be done according to
plans approved by the commission at
the April meeting, and is to be COM
pleted by by September 1. The road
will be subject to a penalty of $50 a
day for each day after September !
on which the work lies unfinished.
After adjourning the three members
of the commission went with Manager
Raymond H. Smith Of the Jackson
Light and Traction company to inspect
a safety device with which it Is pro-
posed to equip their cars, so as to min
imize danger and lessen the chances
of casualties or loss of life or limb In
case of accidental running down OF
persons.
The device adopted is the H. B. life
guard. a Providence (R. ID patent,
which is, in use in New York, Chicago.
Boston and other large centers, and
the effectiveness of which has been
demonstrated. After a complete prac-
tical demonstration with the use OF a
dummy the commission was satisfied
that the contrivance is practical and
meets all the requirements of the safe
ty appliance acts, and entered official
approval thereof.
The commission adjourned to meet
in special session here on Thursday,
June 25, to take up several cases
which were continued by agreement.

The outbreak OF violcnce II Jones
county, which had les first outbreak
against law in the dynamiting Of dip
ping vats. is making the usual evoin-
tion into grosser crime.
A band OF criminals visited the Jef-
coat vat, located about twelve miles
from Laurel. beyond soso, near the
Jasper county line, which was being
rebuilt by order OF the board Of super
yisors, and again destroyed It. This
vat had been dynamited three times.
and when it was destroyed in the re-
cent outbreak, It was ordered removed
a short distance from the old location
on the land OF Justice Of the Peace
Jefcoats, to the land OF Mrs. Moss, q
widow, the mother OF Mr.. Wesley
Moss.
Mr.. Pat Valentine had taken the
contract to rebuild the vat, and had
about completed the work.
About II o'clock at night this vat
was again visited by the "anti-dip-
pers'' who did not content themselves
with dropping dynamite in the vat,
but set fire to a quantity Of cord
wood cut on Mrs. Moss Iand, then
cut up and destroyed section OF wire
fencing, and pulling down q rail- fence,
let out the stock In the pasture.
Pistols were shot off to intimidate
any one who might come, and there
was evidence that there were several
in the gang.
The following note was posted near
the vat:
