Separation Paper.

VII, MfNGTON, Del. July 6.-An
Rereement has been reached between
Theodore Beauclerc Rogers. aged
twenty granddaughter of the late
Jacob s. Rogers. owner of the Rogers
locomotive plant at Paterson, n j.
who beaueathed So. 600 to the Me-
tropolitan Museum of Art, New YORK
and his wife, Josephine Pyle Rogers,
twenty -four, whereby the young wife
win get a divorce in New York unop-
posed.
This became known yesterday, when
the husband, who is now alternating
between New Castle, Del, and his
handsome country seat, Beauclerc
Manor, below New Castle, on the
Delaware river, signed a stipulation
and an amendment thereto previous
" signed by his wife, who has left
Delaware for New York.
With the granting OF the divorce,
Rogers says he will quit the state
and plans to live in Princeton, N. D.
The stipulation refers almost en-
tireIy to the custody of the only child,
Theodore Beauclere Rogers, Sd, aged
four The child, who is now with the
father, will remain in his custody or
in the keeping of Mrs. James Sauls-
bury. of this city, sister of the wire,
for six months after the final disposi-
tion of the divorce action.
Mrs. Rogers is to have all reason
able opportunity to visit her boy, with
the understanding. however, that the
child "shall always be accompanied
by some representative of the de-
PENDANT at the time of such visits
from the plaintiff"
Cousin of U. S. Senator.
tTt-s Saulsburv Catherine Pyle |
Salisbury is the wife Of James Sanls- !
bury, lawyer, cousin Of United States
Senator Willard Salisbury
After the expiration of the six
months the custody of the child is to
be equally divided between the par
ents, provided athe plaintiff shall then
have a permanent home, satisfactory |
to the defendant, within the United
States"
The question as to the subsequent
custody is to be determined by the
court before which the case is
brought. The agreement, therefore, in
go far as the heir to the Rogers for |
tune is concerned, seems to favor the
father. The wife also valves all |
claim for alimony.
Although the bill of complaint re-
Gently filed by the young wife in the
New York Supreme Court is sealed its
contents were learned yesterday. The |
plaintiff, after saying she is now a
resident of the State of New York,
makes two allegations of infidelity |
against her husband. They are both
said to have taken place in New York
Rogers will not appear in person /
and will not oppose the application.
Mr.. Rogers was at the Hotel Louise, |
New Castle, yesterday. He said:
Il will not contest the suit. Our
boy, born May 26, 1910, is in my
charge. I do not intend he shall ever
leave my care and keeping"
The trouble between the pair dates
back to last February, when Rogers,
his wife and their child, with nurse,
went on a trip to visit Mr.. Rogers
wealthy uncle and aunt, Mr.. and Mrs. |
william du Pont, at Montpelier, Or /
ange county, Va.
William du Pont, a multimillionaire,
Is the younger brother of United
States Senator Henry A. du Pont, of
Delaware. He bought the President
Madison estate; and it may be stated
Incidentally that his divorced wife is
now the wife of Senator Salisbury.

With the return of the Rogers fam
lily to their country home the first
week in March, George linn, thirty
two, son of the present Mrs. William
