FEARING DEATH, CLEARS NAME.
Mrs. ID. f. Bacon Wins separation
Suit on Eve Of Operation.

Through n decision by Supreme Court
Justice Lehman yesterday Mrs. Dora
Emma Bacon accomplished her announced
bands charges OF inhdelty before going
to a hospital for an operation which may
result fatally. but which her physician
said must he performed at once. The
court granted Mrs Bacons plea for
separation from Capt. Samuel Marshall
Bacon. owner OF tugboat line, and
dismissed Capt Bacon's counterclaim
for n divorce.
II was on Mrs Bacons plea that she
wanted to clear her name for the sake or
her four children before she went 20 the
hospital that her case was tried In June,
instead OF waiting until next October.
In his decision Justice Lehman said he
felt bound to discard the testimony for
Capt. Bacon because OF its Inherent I'M
probability and because tho demearor
and manner OF testifying of the witnesses
convince ne OF their entire rnreliabllity."
Concerning Mrs Bacon the court said :
The testimony OF the plaintiff ard her
witnesses convince me that she has COM
lnitted indiscretions which are not eN-
plaAned quite truthfuliy or quite satisfac-
tor.ly. However. / feel that some of the
indiscre.ions can be- explained IN view
Of the incompatability OF the parties to
the marriage and thar The contradiction
IN her testimony represented an attempt
TO minimize these .ndscretions'

An Interesting Incident.

one OF the most interesting features
about this statement was that few
minutes before Il was given out at the
Department Secretary Bryan had said he
knew nothing OF any resignation OF the
Minister to Greece and Montenegro and
that he had not asked for Mr. Williams's
resignation.
The Secretary OF State also said that
the disclaimer. issued some time after no
left Washington on Friday had not been
sent officially to the Powers.
At the White House. however. IL was
said that the disclaimer had been son;
to the Powers. and 1t was also under
stood that Mr.. Willamss resignation
had been asked for.
II Is the general opinion here that
President Wilson took charge Of Mr.
Williams's case and directed all steps
with regard to relieving the Government
Of such embarrassment as the Minister'S
amazing comments on the situation in
Albania have already caused.
Mr.. Williams Is n close friend OF Sec
