paratory Move.

SHANGHAI, China, Sept. Iii Yuen

A despatch from Peling last night said
the failure of Ii Nuen Heng, who has been

have requested from President Yuan SIN
Kai permission to depart from the forbid
den city. He is said to have informed the
president that he would not oppose the re
establishment of a monarchy, but would
not ascribe his name to petition favoring

was believed by Lieutenant Kirby B.
Crittenden, member of the naval board
of inquiry, 10 be the remains OF either
Alfred EIDE, who was commander of
the diver, or of Ensign Timothy A.

An officer s cap found near one of
the bodies in the after part of the
battery compartment led to the belief
that one of the bodies was that of an
officer. The insignia on the cap was
gone.

contents legible, was found, but there
was nothing in it that would clear the
mystery of the vessels sinking. It
contained records of the submarine s
battery, according to Lieutenant Crit
tenden.
Fresh air has been forced into the
forward compartment Of the submarine
to facilitate work there, but this COM
partment has not vet been entered in

DIVORCE DECREE
FOR MRS. COWLES
Opposition Withdrawn by DR.. Cowles-
Each to Have Custody of Children
Six Months in Year.

An agreement was reached in Ports
mouth, n. H., yesterday in the divorce
case of DR.. Edward S. Cowles against
Mrs. Florence J. Cowles and in the
counter suit of Mrs. Cowles against
her husband, and after a brief formal
hearing to establish certain facts Mrs.
Cowles was granted an absolute di-
Nvorce and the custody of the two mi
nor daughters was decreed to Mrs.
Cowles for six months in the year and
TO DIR. Cowles for the remaining six
months.
After two days of conference be-
tween lawyers the hearing began at 2
clock. With an agreement as to the
children in their pockets tie attorneys
came into court prepared for a speedy

Cowles had consented early in the ne
gotiations not to contest his wife s
suit for divorce if an agreement could
be reached in the matter of the chill
dren.
Judge Ernest L. Guptill of Mrs.
Cowles s counsel stated that as the al
legation in the criminal libel fled by
his client of conduct injurious to health
was not specific he submitted specifica-
tions regarding it, and at the same
time withdrew all other allegations
contained in the libel filed by Mrs.
Cowles, and subsequently amended by
her.
This statement by counsel, eliminat-
ing the allegations of misconduct con
tained in the libel, robbed the case of
much of its piquancy to many persons
in the courtroom.
Counsel, having amended his libel
proceeded to specify in substance that
Mrs. Cowles, being person of "ten-
! der sensibilities. - had suffered injury
| to her health from enforced contact
and association with persons suffering
from nervous diseases, who were in
mates of her husband S sanitarium
which was also his home.
| At the conclusion of the reading OF
| the libel Mrs. Cowles took the stand
| As a result of her enforced labors and
constant association with persons suf
! fering from nervous and mental dis
/ eases, she testified, she had suffered
severely in her health. She continued
/ TO live at Dr. Cowles 5 sanitarium il
| Portsmouth until Dec. 10, 1914, whcl
/ she went to live with her mother IN
/ Brookline. Mass. She was then suffer
! ing from nervousness and hysteria
and feared breakdown. She had lost
/ so pounds in weight as a rseult of he
experiences in the sanitarium.
Mrs. Cowles was on the stand !;
minutes. Two physicians testified al
to Mrs Cowles S physical condition. NJ
testimony was introduced in behalf O.
I DR.. Cowles and his attorneys Withdrew
the petition filed against his wife.
The Judge then announced that h
would see the counsel in conference ant
withdrew, having been on the bencl
one hour and 10 minutes. An hour an,
10 minutes later, at 4.20, he gave hi
decision.
