"You Can Cad Around Nights, If

No Harm Meant When This Actor Called on 'Actorne" at
Midnight-Diferent from Other Folks
Referee Rules

New York. July 23.-Circumstances
which might seem proof of miscon-
duct on the part of men and women
in ordinary walks OF life should be
viewed more literally in the case or
actors and actresses. Referee Saul ].
Dickheiser so holds in disposing of the
John w Dean-Jennie Gertrude N.
Dean divorce suits.
This is the striking feature OF the
referees report generating Miss
Fannie Ward, actress, named by Mrs.
Dean in her suit, and finding Mrs.
Dean. also an actress, guilty of mis-
conduct with Eddie Foy. the comedian.
Lenient with Thespians.
Concerning testimony that Miss
Ward and Dean, who is her leading
man, occupied adjoining rooms while
playing in New York City, and had
been known to remain in the same
room for an hour or two. the referee
states:
while probably the ordinary con-
ventions in everyday social life will

Mrs. Abel. all of whom appear TO have

Received 800 Weekly.
There is proof, the referee states, that
while Foy was playing in up and Down
Broadway" Mrs. Dean. although not a
member of the company, travelled with
it, and occupied a stateroom on the same
trains. that after her retirement in 1910
she frequently was visited by Foy at her
home in Pelham Manor, was in receipt of
money from him and was at different
times the possessor of several automo-
biles.'
Reference is made by the referee to the
testimony of Mrs. Everett that Mrs.
Dean and Foy frequently were guests at
her home at the same time, that they
addressed each other in endearing terms,
that she saw Foy give the plaintiff $50
on several occasions. and that Mrs. Dean
admitted she received 800 week from
him.
Herman L. Roth, counsel for Mrs
Dean. said that he will attempt to have
the case reopened for the hearing Of ad-
ditional evidence.

Submarine To Be Brought I Here.
As Feature Of c.. A. r. Reunion
Arrangements Also Being Made by Citizens Committee for
Placing on Exhibition Interesting Collection of
Relics of the Civil War.

Submarines and torpedo boat destroy
ers will be brought to Washington by
the Navy Department to add a special
feature to the events which are to take
place at the National Capital in con-
nection with the encampment Of the
Grand Army of the Republic the week
of September 2T-October 3.
Because of its successful operation in
European waters at the present time, the
submarine is the most talked Of weapon
of present-day warfare, yet few veter-
ans OF the civil war have ever seen one.
The suggestion at first was made that
the department should bring to Wash
ington the old Holland, the first under
water craft of our navy, and from which
the successful boats of today have been
developed, and place beside it one Of the
recently constructed submarines. The
fact that this vessel has been sold to a
private concern will preclude that pos
sibility. and accordingly 1t has been
planned to bring here one Of the earlier
types and also one of the modern sub
marines to illustrate the progress made
IN construction.
May show Hydrcplanes.
An effort also is being made to have
one or more kydroaeroplnes brought here
for exhibition purposes.
1t is also the intention OF the depart
ment to bring here the old Hartford.
now ut Charleston, C. S. restored to
appearance she bore in the days of the
civil war. when she was the flagship Of
Admiral Farragut.
The Navy and the Marine Corps will
be represented by their enlisted per-
sonnet and probably some of the YES
sells of the Atlantic Fleet. II will be
possible for the bluejackets and ma
rines to be brought to Washington. as
they have on similar occasions. by
special steamer to remain during the
day Of the parade and form an impress
sive part of the escort of the veterans.
The Navy Department contemplates
doing this in honor of the G. A. r.
members and their friends. 1t may be
possible, also-to have the midshipmen
brought to Washington from Annapolis
if by that time the first. second, and
third classes shall have returned from
their practice cruise.

to arrange for exhibition a collection OF

many reminders of the great struggle;
many of these relics are owned and held
by the government. but the average Wis
itor sees few of them. 1t Is planned to
extend special courtesy to the old vet
Grams and allow them an opportunity to
view some of these treasures.
In a fire-proof vault. opening from a
small room on the third floor of the
Treasury Building, are the manuscripts
which set forth the diplomatic efforts of
the Confederacy to secure recognition as
a member of the family Of nations and
to obtain the means to establish a navy
and maintain an army
When the most important of the Con-
federate archives were removed from
Richmond the diplomatic correspond
ence, consisting of the state depart
ment" records except the secret service
papers. which had been destroyed were
hidden in a barn in Virginia. Later.
they were packed in four yellow trunks
and brought from Richmond to Wash
ington by their custodian, Col John T.
Pickett. After endeavoring for years to
dispose of them, Col. Pickett, having in
dcXed them, took them to Canada, where
in April, 1872. the trunks and their con-
tents were purchased for the use Of the
United States. On July 3. 1872. the trunks
were delivered at the White House, and
later were removed to the treasury.
Col. Pickett. In payment, received the
stipulated sum OF $4,000, large portion
OF which was distributed to needy
widows and orphans of Confederate SOL
diers. The money for the Pickett pa
pers" had been appropriated by special
act of Congress.
These diplomatic papers remained in
the original receptacles until about a
year ago. when the old trunks were
sold at one of the Treasury auctions.
The papers already had been placed
in three new chests of polished pine.
In small dark room under the
caves of the south wing of the Treas
ury stand seven large packing boxes
with covers nailed down. Sightseers
are never permitted to enter this attic
room, and very few persons, even
among the oldest employees. could
guess the contents of the boxes. They
are filled with Confederate money, a
portion of which was captured from
Southern banks and from dead or liv-
ing Confederate soldiers and forwarded
through the War Department to the
Treasury.
