MINISTER'S WIFE
SEEKS SEPARATION
Presbyterian Clergyman, For
merly of The Bronx, Accused
in Application.

The Rev. ]. Edwin Triplett, jr,
Presbyterian clergyman of Woodbury.,
Conn, was sued yesterday for separa-
ton by his wife, Mrs. Dorothy A. Trip
lett. Mr.. Triplett was formerly pastor
of the Bedford Park Presbyterian
Church, The Bronx, but left there some
years ago after a sensational charge OF
criminal libel was made against him by
two of his Pensioners.
In her application for separation,
with s35 q week alimony and $3.50 coun-
SCI fees. in the Supreme Court yester-
dav Mrs. Triplett accused her husband
Of treating her meanly since their mar
riage in June, 1905. She charged him
with Striking, assaulting and choking"
her and of forcing her to obtain money
from her mother to clothe herself and
her daughter.
Finally, she says, an accusation by
her husband that she was keeping bad
company, a threat against her and a
refusal TO be associated with her in
public or to take her to places Of rec
reation to which he himself went, have
become too irritating for her TO bear.
She states that she has been living at
220 Wadsworth av on funds furnished
by her mother.

EX-LIEUT. M'CLOIN
SHOOTS HIMSELF
Cause of Former Police
Officers Suicide a
Mystery.

John McGloin, a retired police lieu
tenant, committed suicide yesterday
by shooting himself in the right tenn
pie while sitting on a bench on Coo
gan's Bluff, overlooking the Polo
Grounds. The bullet lodged In the
left side of his head, after passing
through the brain.
No reason could be given by his
wife or his former police associates
for his suicide. All those who had
been with him recently said that he
was in excellent health and that he
was not depressed.
Shortly before 7 o'clock last evening
he was talking with Patrolman James
Murphy, of the West 1921 st. stat on,
who passed by on his beat. Murphy
said the ex-lieutenant seemed cheerful
and remarked that he was feeling well
Murphy passed on up the street and
left McGloin reading newspaper
When a block away he heard the shot
and rushed back to find McGloin on
the ground, with a revolver clutched
in his hand.
DR.. Scholer, of the Washington
Heights Hospital, was summoned and
removed McGloin to the hospital, where
he died at 9:27 o'clock. The surgeons
extracted the bullet, but at no time ala
they hold forth hopes of his recovery.
His wife and daughter were summoned
and were with him at his death. He
did not regain consciousness, although
an effort was made to revive him.
In a pocket was found a memoran-
dunn book from which all the pages
but one had been torn. On the re-
naming page he had recently made a
list of facts about his lineage, and at
the bottom were instructions to the
finder of his body 10 notify James r.
MCGOWAN, an undertaken, at l53d st.
and Amsterdam av., Of his death.
McGloin was sixty-three years old,
and lived with his wife and daughter
school teacher, at Ats West l59th
ST. Five years ago he retired from
the police force. He was a lieutenant
in charge of the West Tooth st. station
at the time. lie was one of the found
ers and an honorary president Of the
Policemen's Benevolent Association. 1t
is said that he was looked upon as an
adviser by the men who aspired to pro-
motion by taking examinations.

American Craft Carries
Passengers and Mail
to Liverpool.
AMERICAN DUCHESS
MAY HEAD NURSES
Former Consuelo Vanderbilt
Sure That Great Britain Will
Triumph on the Sea.

The American liner st. Paul, with
go passengers and 1880 bags Of mail,
sailed for Liverpool shortly after 10
o'clock yesterday morning. Soon after
she left her pier Captain Passow was
informed that a quantity Of mail from
the North German Lloyd liner Kron-
prinzessin Cecilie was on its way from
Bar Harbor, Me-, and the st. Paul
dropped anchor off the Statue oil Llb-
erty.
The belated mail was taken down to
her in tugs, and at 1910 p. m. she co.
under way.
CAPTAIN Passow said he expected no
interference from German cruisers,
but he was somewhat concerned les
the St. Paul be mistaken for ked
Star liner, as the vessels OF the Amerl-
can and Red Star lines have black run,
nels with similar white bands arounI
them. He asked for instructions at the
Custom House as to what he should do
if he was mistaken for Red Star yes
sci and halted. He said he would
make an effort to keep out of harm
way, even though his vessel was SAL
ing under the American flag.
The St. Paul, which had recently
been converted into a one-cabin ship,
with a minimum rate of S52 30, was
filed with persons who had been &C
customed to travelling in the expen-
sive rooms of the high class express
steamships. All were anxious to get
back to England, and were content
with the accommodations Of one
class steamship.
The Duchess of Marlborough, for
merly Consuelo Vanderbilt, who had
been to this country on an interrupted
visit to her mother, Mrs. o. H. P. Bel
mont. expressed delight at being able
to get back to her children in Lon
don. She said also she was anxious to
do something for the British soldiers
and sailors who are engaged in the
European war She though she would
most likely organize a nursing corps
as soon as she returned to London,
and would lend all the aid, both per-
sonal and financial, that lay within
her power
The duchess expressed surprise that
Germany should have the hardihood to
invite a conflict with Great Britain.
While the Germans might be temUo-
rarily successful in the land fighting
she felt confident that they would
meet with tremendous loss when they
encountered the British feet in :he
North Sea.
Lieutenant Martineau, of the Royal
Berkshires, who is on his way to Eng
land to join his regiment, said he ex-
pected a brief but bloody war. "One
big battle on land" he said, most
likely will be sufficiently decisive 10
bring hostilities to an end. Neutral
nations will be appalled, by the slaugh-
ter and destruction and will force a
settlement.
"The German army must not be con-
sidered lightly. The German soldiers
are splendidly trained men. They are
marvels as a fighting corps, but they
are not the equal of the French as
individual fighters. The French are
wonderful as individuals and as ma
chimes, and will give a good account Of
themselves when they meet the Ger
mans on the field"

RESERVIST ABOUT
TO SAIL IS HELD
Accused of Having $500 Worth
of Good Taken from
Store.

The Gallo temperament of Detec-
tive Sergeant Ditsch got a shock last
night, when the officer was compelled
in the line of duty to lock up a re-
servist who was planning to sail on the
next boat TO fight for France. About
$500 worth of fancy upholstering cover
ing. which Stern Brothers allege is
their property, was taken from the
home Of the man, Ami Morau, Of 21S
West seth ST.
Ditsch and Frazer, his partner, had
been working on the case about twenty
four hours, Stern Brothers having
complained that one Of their employees
was apparently getting away with valu-
able goods. Suspicion fell on William
A. Patten, a stock boy, whose alleged
sportive instincts didn't conform TO his
81 a week job.
They trailed Patten from the seth ST.
house, where he had a room, but out
side Of ascertaining the fact that he
made up as a dandy, in white fannels
and a stick, didn't help their case any.
Nevertheless, they arrested the youth
yesterday morning, and after hard
grilling he is said 20 have confessed.
Moran was implicated. One Of the
pieces the detectives say they found
was valued at S400. Patten says he sold
il 70 the boarding house keeper for
50 so.
