Aids Daughter
In Suit Against
His Son-in-Law
Nicolini's Affidavit Out.
does Mrs. Calder in Ac-
cusing Her Husband

Charges that Frederick V. Calder,
real estate broker had not accounted for
more than $4,000 of funds intrusted
to his care are made by his father-in-
law, Matthew Nicolini, of 400 Riverside
Drive, in a supplementary affidavit
filed with Mrs. Viola A. Calder's suit
for separation from her husband.
This affidavit, Mr.. Nicolini says, was
made against his son-in,law with great
reluctance.
81 hoped" his statement reads, "the
defendant would exhibit sufficient re-
morse for the wrongs he has already
committed to refrain from additional
wrongs, but his statements force me to
tell the entire truth"
Accuses Wife's Parents
In reply to his wife's suit Mr.. Calder
has said her parents Unframed her"
against him. He alleges that Mrs. CAL
der insisted that he give her evidence
which would enable her to get di-
vorce, and that he left her, "partly in
sorrow and partly to satisfy her" He
now regrets this action and believes
that were it not for his parcnts-in-law
he and Mrs. Calder might become rec
onciled.
This statement by his son-in-law has
caused Mr.. Nicolini to assert that he
was opposed to the mans marriage
with his daughter because he had the
reputation Of a "rounder." A month
before the wedding. he alleged. Calder
had to settle claim for $4,000 by one
Eva NJ. Watkins.
Says He Failed to Pay Taxes
Mr.. Ncolini says he gave Calder
$4,000 to pay taxes on the premises at
400 Riverside Drive, but that these still
remain unpaid.
Mrs. Calder is suing for separation
on the ground of abandonment. From
the beginning Of their married life, she
says. existence for her with her hus-
band has been most miserable.
She charges that he drank heavily
and frequently remained away from
home ali night. Usually, she admits,
he offered some excuse for these abb
Once, she alleges, he told her upon
his return home that he had fallen
asleep in the subway and had ridden up
and down all night long. Another time,
she relates, he explained his failure to
come home the night before by saying
that he had gone to the dentist and had
fallen asleep in the chair. The dentist
did not appear. she says he told her,
until the next morning, and he slum-
bered peacefully until his arrival.

Anna Gould's Son
Loses in Suit to
Save Teuton Title
French Court Rules De Sa'
gans Have No Right to
That Name

Paris, May 2o.-Duke Helie de Talley-
rand-Perigord, husband of Anna Gould,
the divorced wife of Count Boni de
Castellane has lost the suit instituted
in behalf of their son, Howard de Tai
leyrand- Perigord, Prince de Sagan, to
restrain a dealer in antiques, who
purchased the mansion formerly occu-
pied by the family, from using the
name "Hotel dc Sagan."
TIE Supreme Court of Paris in de-
cision Just handed down declares that
the title "Prince de Sagan" was not
hereditary, and that since the death of
the original holder it was decreed by
Emperor william, on August 10. 1911.
that Howard de Talleyrand-Perigord.
who was then two years old, should be
invested with the title, but only upon
condition that he should swear fealty to
the King Of Prussia upon reaching his
majority. The court held. therefore,
that no member of the de Talleyrand-
Perigord family has the right to take
the name de Sagan in France or main
tain an action in justice under that
name.
The Royal Feudal Curia of Berlin
formally certified the youthful FRINGE
de Sagan as the Duke of Sagan and
heir to the Prussian title i'll 1911. This
action was taken at the request OF the
princes father. who sought thereby to
escape paying s3,75O,OOO debts he owed
in Germany and still retain for his
family its estates in the little Silesian
town of Sagan.
The present duke was told that as
long as he made no move TO possess
himself of his German duchy its reve-
nues were safe against his creditors,
but that if he claimed his title he
would have to pay them. To escape
these claims and save the estates for
his heirs he abdicated his rights IN
favor Of the then infant prince.

Carnival to End
Actors Fund Fair
Daniel Frohman Praises Work
of Rurlesuue Profession

The Actors Fund Fair at the Grand
Central Palace will end tonight with
q patriotic masque carnival festival.
The indications are that it has been
even more successful than the fairs
OF other years and that the receipts
will be more than $4,000, including
the $4,000 obtained through the bur
lesque sisterhood.
"All arts Of the theatre" said Daniel
Frohman last night. ARE bound by
one tie of brotherhood, but the fair
shows that the tie of sisterhood has
been stronger as well as more proiita-
bic to the fund. The burlesque pro-
fession alone and its sympathetic thea
tire associations produced over $4,000
for the fair"
One hundred volunteer auctioneers
will set to work to-day TO rid the
booths OF the remaining $4,000 worth
of goods. regardless OF price tags.

Ex-Police Officer
Held for Gem Theft
G.. w. jackson Arrested in
Canada, Accused of Stealing
Diamonds Worth $4,000

Brockvlle, Ont, May 20.-George W.
Jackson. formerly sergeant CT the New
York Police Department, who came
here four years ago, saying that his in
tention was to avoid being summoned
as a witness against Charles Becker,
was to-day arrested on a charge Of
grand larceny. Indictments were found
against him in New York, the police
here say, after he had failed TO return
S83 900 worth of diamonds which he
had on memorandum.
When Jackson came here he APP
peared to be well supplied with money
and speedily became well known in
sporting circles. He was manager Of
the Brockville baseball team, and often
acted as umpire. Recently he had
joined with others in exploiting Cana
dan war pictures. The police say that
he told them part of his income came
from theatrical road companies which
he had financed.
Word that Jackson had been found
reached Police Headquarters in New
York last night. Formerly a police
sergeant, he had been engaged in bust
ness for some time when he was in
dicted. One diamond dealer committed
suicide soon after he learned that Jack
son, who was alleged to have 10000
worth of goods. had disappeared.
So far as is known here, there was
no attempt at the time of the investi-
cation into the murder of Herman
Rosenthal TO make use of Jackson as
a witness,
