MRS. O'ROURKE HIRES COUNSEL
 FOR SEPARATION
Wife of Crack Pail Player of American Association Els
 tranged From Him

That she has engaged legal advice with a view to bringing about a sep aration from her husband, James OgRourhe, Jr., the we'll known base ball player, was admitted today by Mrs O'Rourlxe The latter with her parents. Mir. and Mrs. John Rief and her little son, live at 26S Eawley ave nue which is also given in the ddrec- tory as MT. O'RourI1es address Mrs O'Rourke claims, however, that her husband has not lived with her in many weeks and that he has not fur nished her or their child with means of support for a long period.
 When seen at her home to-day Mrs. O'Rourlxe said she had consulted with Attorney Jacob B. Klein and Attorney Albert J. Merritt and that these. law yers were taking steps to bring about the separation. Whether or not there would be an actual suit for di- vorce Mrs. O'Rourke would no say Her husband is a member of St. Paul, Minn.,7 of the American Association. Mrs. O'Rourke claims he has contrib uted nothing to her support since the baseball season opened and that when it closed he went to live with his sis ter at Baltimore, ignoring her entirely. He has not been home she claims since last spring.
 Mrs. O'Rourke before her marriage which took place in 1909 at the Little Church Around the Corner, in New York city and was kept secret for IA months, was Miss Emma Rief. She was born in Bridgeport, is quite pret- ty and is we'll known here. She is of the Protestant faith while MT. O'Rourke is a Roman Catholic. In 1910 she accompanied MT. O'Rourke on a.-trip to Columbus where 8, second marriage was performed by a. Catholic priest in the chapel of Mt. Carmel hospital.
 MT. O'Rourke is the son of James H. O'Rourl1e, lawyer. former National baseball star and until lately owner of the franchise for the Bridgeport team. MT. ORourke promises to be almost as wonderful a player as was his father. Starting on the Yale varsity team and later joining the Bridgeport team he was soon signed by the New York Americans and ever since then has been playing in fast company.
 Mrs. O'Rourlxe is fond of sports. She is a daring automobile driver and at the recent automobile races here won. driving against Mrs. Cippola of New Y ork city.
 Friends are endeavoring to bring about a reunion of the couple.
 Mrs. O'Rourxe in speaking of the separation to-day said: My hus- band is a. fine man. We have always lived happily together, but while in the West he was struck in the head with ball. and after coming from the hospital there was some slight change in him. This change has grown rapidly of late, and can only ascribe our present estrangement to this injury

 Chairman Flood made his state ment to Representative BaEtho1dt who was making a general argument for his resolution to stop exports at a public hearing today.
 Suppose he asked Bartholdt, that youN understood that the German gov er1aAnent through the German foreign office had said that it did not expect this government to pass this legisIa- tion Would you support it?"
 Representative Bautholdt asserted he knew nothing of the attitude of the German. government and that he and his associates opposed the exporba- tion of arras on the grounds of inter national immortality
 Chairman Flood repeated the statement in his question and added:
 sI said that they realize and so statea that they do not expect this government to pass this legislation"
 tsThe state department, said Chairman Flood to Representative charge that dum-dum bullets were being shipped from this country to the allies. They have found that not more than 700 of these bullets have left the country and that none of them would fit modern military ser vice rifles
 Representative Bartholdt said he had heard that the neutrality of the United States had been violated by the shipments of Canadian troops over American territory in Maine, on their way to the war zone.
