ASSERTS HOOD
HAS 100000.
Divorced Wife's Lawyer Seeks
to Show PIainfield Man Can
Pay Alinony.

Argument was had before Vice
Chancellor Stevens today with rela-
ton to the ability of Richard Haden
Hood to pay alimony to Frances
Sparks Hood, his divorced wife, and
counsel fee to Robert \. >McCarter,
her solicitor. Mrs. Hood, who holds
the family residence in Stelle avenue,
Plainfieid obtained a divorce some
months ago. Since the granting of
the decree, c. Nick. Whittemore, a
special master, has been inquiring
into Mr.. Hoods assets.
On behalf of Mrs. Hoods Mr.. Nc
Carter said that Hood was worth be-
tween $300.O05 and 100000. He at
tackled judgment for $15S,1OS OBJ
tained in New York by Charles Meigs
against Richard Haden Hood Quot
ing from the report of Special Master
Whittemore. he said it was shown
that the total of Mr.. Hoods estate
amounted to $3.50, 49, and that if the
Judgment in question was to be al
low ed the net value of the estate
would be $177, ,131.
He further said that the Plainfield
home, now in the possession of Mrs.
Hood, was offered for sale for $780,,
900, and that with her equity in this
property she is now worth s56,50S.
Mr.. Garter told the vice-chancellor
thaS in 1911, Mr.. Hood made will
in which he left 100000 to his sister
and the balance of his estate to Mrs.
Hood. At that time he told her that
she would receive between 5000, 900
and $500. 600 He has since had a fight
with his sister and has destroyed the
will.
Chauncey G. Parker represented
Mr.. Hood. Decision was reserved.

OIL LYMP|C PARKS
THEATRE BURNED:
WILL Be REBUILT
Loss of 5000 at Early Morn
ing BIaze-Performances in
Newark Theatre.

Fire completely destroyed the Olym-
pic Park Opera House early this
morning. entailing a loss estimated
at $50, 900. Not a stick of timber in the
wooden structure is standing.
Plans are already under way for
the erection of a new and more mod
ern building. 1t is believed that the
new structure will be ready for oe-
cupancy July 4. Meanwhile the opera,
which was scheduled to open tonight
at the park. will be transferred to the
Newark Theatre, where Naughty
Marietta will be produced Thursday
evening.
Tonssof charcoal and twisted iron
are all that remain today of the big
amusement hail. In ono hour the
opera house was reduced TO complete
ruins. Little damage was done to
surrounding buildings, though sparks
and embers flew a great distance in
all directions. Residents of the neigh
borhood mounted their housetops
and stood on guard with extinguish-
ers and pals of water.
The flying sparks ignited the large
dancing pavilion, and also house on
Forty-second street. The blaze was
put out before damage was done.
Members of the Olympic Park Com
pany, forty in number, lost practically
their entire belongings, trunks of cost
ly costumes and other private prop
erty being prey of the flames. Abso-
lutely nothing was saved from the
building. Eight wagon loads of trunks
were placed i'm the opera house yes
terday upon arrival at the park. Some
of the trunks contained private prop
erty and were being held to await
delivery today to the boarding houses
of the members of the company
Starting near the stage of unknown
origin. the flames quickly swept
through the building. For miles
around the tongues of flames could
be seen shooting into the air. Thou
sands OF people jammed the trolley
cars and rushed for the scene.
Patrolman Abram Ruban, of the
Irvington police department. discoY-
cred the blaze at 12:45 a. m. and sent
in an alarm from Halstead avenue
and Fortieth street. lmmerlately
upon his arrival Fire Chief Herbert
]. Groom ordered a second alarm.
So quickly and fiercely did the dried
timber burn that the entire roof fell
in before water could be poured on
the fiery furnace. The entire fire de-
partments of Irvington and South
Orange township were soon on the
scene. eight companies in all. Though
they attacked the flames from all four
sides their work was futile. Poor
water pressure from plugs in irving
ton and South Orange township
handicapped the firemen.

TO FINISH CASES
No Successor Appointed Yet.

sex Prosecutor.
Especial to the Evening star.I

TRENTON. - June 15.-GoVernor
Fielder today said Judge Charles C.
Black would not resign as a circuit
court judge to assume his new ap-
pointment as an associate Judge of
the Supreme Court until he has COM
pleted hearing some important cases
in which the interests of the State
are involved. 1t is understood that
Judge Black has about half com
pleted his court calendar and
not relinquish his present office until
he has completed hearing the cases
listed for argument.
The Governor is giving eonsidera-
ton to a successor to Judge Black
on the Circuit Court bench, but said
no selection would be announced to-
day. Former Judge Willard W.
Cutler of Morristown. is considered
a likely successor to Judge Black at
this time.
The fact that Prosecutor Hood will
remain as Essex Countys prosecutor
until July l. will give Governor
Fielder two weeks to consider a sue
cessor to Mr.. Hood. No intimation
OF whom the Governor contemplates
selecting as the new prosecutor
could be ascertained at the eXecu-
tive Offices today.

in $1,000 on charge of perjury and
81 800 on charge of obtaining goods

The prisoner. who until his recent
disappearance was an important fac
tor in local church circles. did not
seem to be a great deal disturbed by
the change i'm his surroundings since
the time he was writing about New
ark's welfare. He limped a little
and declared he had a touch of rfeu-
MATES. Douglas WAS brought here
Saturday night from Boston, where
he WAS arrested last week.
In court this forenoon the prisoner
seemed quito confident that his pres
ent trouble is not very serious. lie

during his career here, would help
him out Of his local difficulties.

that Douglas committed perjury
when he falsely procured a marriage
license on April II, and that on May
he obtained goods and money to
the value of $50 from Edwin Hull, a
haberdasher, in Broad street. Mr..
Laddey entered a plea of not guilty
guilty in his clients behalf.
When bail was fixed by the court,
Nh Laddey made a motion for re-
duction on the ground that the per-
jury charge avs not of a nagrant
character stating that Douglas did
not realize that he was taking an
oath when he stated that he was un-
married when he procured the mar
rage license to we'd Miss Margery
Stcneman about two months ago.
Judge Hahn denied the motion and
stated that the complaints against
Douglas had already been forwarded
to the prosecutors office, and that in
view of these circumstances he had
a conversation with Prosecutor Hood
today relating to tn eamount of bail.
and that the sum of $1.500 on each
charge had been agreed upon.

proceedings. Mrs. Beatrice Henry, a
friend of hers, and who is employed in

Douglas. was present, however
Mr.. Laddey, when asked if Mrs.
Douglas had visited her husband
since his arrest in Boston and return.
to this city, replied that she had not,
and added.
"Sle came to me and asked me TO
defend her husband stating that she.
as his wife, should be the first to give
Douglas the benefit of the doubt, and
that she considered 1t her wifely duty
to stand by him in his present hour
of need until he was proven guilty"

WILSON CHARGES
ORGANIZED FIGHT
ON TRUST LAWS

WASHINGTON. June 15.-Presi-
dent Wilson made the direct charge
today that sentiment in favor of post
ponement of the administration trust
legislative program was the result of
campaign by certain interests and
intimated that it was the cause of the
psychological business depression"
of which he recently spoke.
In support Of the Presidents view
copies of letters and kilograms cir
culated among the business men,
calling for the adjournment of Con-
gress without completion of the
trust bills praying for the freight
rate increase being asked by the rail-
roads of the Interstate Commerce
Commission and calling for a halt of
the attacks on business" were made
public at the White House.
President Wilson made it clear to
his callers that the campaign, if such
it may be called, would have no effect
upon him, and that it was his plan
to push the trust program through
the Senate with the aid of all the
means at his command. He expressed
the view that business was as good,
if not better, now that a while ago,
and that it would be less harmful to
the business of the country to have
the trust legislation program COM
pleted than to be confronted with a
period of uncertainty which would
accompany delay.
One of the circular letters which
came into possession of the White
House, and which was given out to-
day. was circulated by the Simmons
Hardware Company of st. Louis. e.
c. Simmons, the head of the COM
pany, had been selected for a member
of the Federal Reserve Board, and
his nomination was to have gone to
the Senate today.
