Aurora Driven from Moorings.
The full text Of the wireless message
received in London contained about 400
words. II said that the Aurora had
reached her destination late in Jsnu-

Lieutenant Macintosh and also con-
siderable quantity Of stores. Meanwhile
the Aurora lay at her moorines oH
Cape Eyeans. Several attempts we're

all failed owing 20 the extremely bad

A blizzard on May 6 drove the
Aurora from her moorings. The vessel

Lakewood Fooled by
Lads Flight.
HUSBAND ACCUSED;
HOUSE GUARDED
Married Me for My Money
Says Wife-He Denies He
Sought Sons.

Lakewood, ~ j., March "a This re-
sort was astounded 20 learn to-day that
an attempt had been made during the
night 70 kidnap the children Of Mrs.
William c. Bergh, Of New York City,
who has a winter cottage here. Accord
ing TO Mrs. Bergh, this Is not the trst
attempt OF the sort, and she IS kept IN
a constant state Of terror, with de
tcctives guarding her and the children
night and day.
Last night, she says, three men
chased her youngest son through the
pine park which fronts her place here.
Last Saturday a man. had endcavored
TO enter the house through one OF the
kitchen windows. but was frightened
away. Mrs Bergh says, by shot nTeu
by her eldest son.
II has been known here that there
was a local detective, William Mason.
living in the Bergh household. Mason
substantiated Mrs. Bergh's story Of e.
forts at kidnapping by swearing out
John Doe warrants to-day for the sus-
picious men who have been seen hang
ing about tn residence.
Mrs. Bergh reused the interest Of the
community to- day by charging that all
these efforts 20 trap her sons were
made b. agents OF her husband, Will
lam c. Bergh. of 80 West Seventy first
Street. New York Mr.. Bergh ia son
Of the late Henry Bergh. who was we'll
known in New York RS founder Of the
Society for the Prevention OF Cruelty
TO Animals.
When asked what possible motive
Mr.. Bergh could have in kidnapping
his own sons, Mrs. Bergh replied that
he knew all three Of them would tes-
tify against him next May. when MS
action for separation comes M.
"My husband has not spoken to me
but twice in eight years" Mrs. Bergh
said. "He is supposedly pollshed
gentleman. realized the dsY after
we were married that he had married
me for my money. but ! thought that
this would be different when the
babies came. This was not the case,
and he continued his cruel treatment.
Mr.. Bergh. at his home. 80 Wes;
Seyenty-frst Street, had all the marks
Of being polished gentleman IN ms
evening clothes and silk hat.
81 am surprised that such report as
that should come from Lakewood" he
said. "And am sstounded that one OF
the boys fred a shot. The whole thing
is unbelievable"
Mr.. Berghs rejoindcr TO his wife,s
statement that ne treated her with
STUDIED indifference and contempt and
talked only in monosyllables' was that
she told him in 1913 mot TO kiss her or
notice her Ia any way lie complained
that she was an eXtravsRsat romsn
and has spent since her marriage
$4,000.
