HE SUSPECTS COLLISION

A secret divorce suit Instituted against
Arthur @. Thompson, "A prominent Yale
alumnus. president Of the Henry c.
Thompson Manufacturing Company Of
New Haven and head OF the A. Kimbali
Company at 307 West Broadway. was
disclosed In the Supreme Court yester-
day through the refusal OF Supreme
Court Justice Greenbaum to confirm the
report Of referee recommending a de-
cree for Mrs. Angelica Mace. Feliowes
Thompson.
Mr.. and Mrs. Thompson have been Nv
Ing apart for some months. Il was
learned yesterday. Mr.. Thompson has
occupied apartments at 1870 Broadway.
while his wife has been living with her
daughter Dorothy at 5s' West End ave-
nue.. Their elder son, Arthur Van Rens-
selaer Thompson. is u Yale graduate
and Felowes Thompson. another son. Is
at Haverford.
Justice Greenbaum decided there was
insuff cient test mony before The referee
to warrant granting a decree. and In
sending the report back 10 the referce
for further testimony the court said
1T would seem tina, where the state
II vitality concerned that the marriage
relationship shall only be sundcred for
a cause not brought about by connivance
or collision. The court. before granting
decree of enforcement. should satisfy
its consc !ence that the plaintiff has acted
in good faith
justice - .eenbaum said he was led to
question Mrs Thompson's good faith be-
cause there was no proof before the
referee that the person concerning whose
alleged improper acts the witness t.sti-
fled was really Mr. Thompson. The court
also found fault because Mr.. Thompson
did not sign his answer denying his
wifes charges and did not appear per-
sonaily or by counsel to defend the suit.
as Is required on divorce hearings be-
fore referees.
Mr.. Thompson was member or the
class OF 1852 at Yale and belongs to the
University and Lotos clubs and the So

WASHINGTON, April :c.--T'he feverish
interest evinced In Congress over the

of Colorado. which have resulted in more
fatalities than occurred In connection with
the occupation of Vera Cruz by the
American marines and sailors. Word
came to several Senators to-day from

something who can view without emotion

The matter was brought to the atten-
ton Of the Senate by Senator Kenyon OF
Iowa. who caused a number of kilograms
from mine workers unions to be read.
other Senators received similar messages.
The principal message read by Senator
Kenyon. which came TO him from the
Offices Of the Iowa mine workers, was:

at Ludlow. Col. Miners tent coiony
burned to ground. Five men. four women

senator Gallinger called attention to the
fact that the House investigating COM

He will leave for Russia next week
taking afiidavits which. he said. would

ton and OF the declaration by the jury In
It's verdict that the crime was a ritual

Krasovsky declared he would apply 70
the supreme Court OF Kieff for the re-
opening OF the BELLS case on the strength
Of his new evidence and would ask that
Yuschinsky's murderers be brought to
Justice. The new accusation will involve

and later appeared as a witness for the

krasovsky had certain well defined
theories as to the motive for the killing
of Yusch!nsky and followed UP certain

murder. but to vindicate himself in the
