ed by the noise, rushed into the room
and found his wife and the boarder
in a compromising position. He grab

Bethel Woman Obtains
Divorce From Husband

New York, March 1.-Two small
white Pomeranians were the only 'evi-
Ddence' that the agents Of Theodore
Dougherty, shipping broker, found in
his wife's room at the Green Hotel,
Danbury, Conn.,, according to William
Klein, referee. But Mr.. Klein says In
his report, filed yesterday in the Su-
preme Court, that Mrs. Frances B.
IDoughertys agents found an unidenti-
fled woman in a room with her hus-
band. Mr.. Klein dimisses the divorce
proceeding against the wife and re-
commends a decree of divorce in her
favor.
Evidence introduced at the hearings
before the referee concerned at least
two women said to have been friendly
with Mr.. Dougherty, One Of them, the
wife said, was living at a cottage at
Spring Lake, N. j., ais Mrs. Ruby
Dougherty, a fact which might never
have been disclosed except for an au-
tomobile accident which was reported
in newspapers. The referee did not
find the husband guilty of misconduct
in the Spring Lake incident. He ap-
proved the granting Of decree be-
cause Of an incident in apartments
near Fifty-fourth street and Seventh
avenue. =.
Mr.. .Dougherty, who is member of
the firm Of J. F. Whitney & Co., No.
10 Bridge street, told the referee that
he went to the apartments in question
to sell an automobile to a young mans
father. Mrs. Dougherty marshalled
witnesses to testify that when they saw
Mr. Dougherty he was with the young
woman, her father being absent, and
automobiles not being the subject I'M
der consideration.
The counter divorce actions have
been pending since last autumn. Ed
ward II. Burger, of Burger & Burger,
No. 2S3 Broadway, has been repre-
senting the wife. Another phase of
the conjuga1 difficulties was an action
brought by the husband to obtain fur
niture and personal belongings held
by the wife at her present home, SOL
West 138th street. The action was de-
feated.
Mrs. Dougherty is the daughter of
Nathan Ives Bennett, retired Jewell
Ter, who has a country place at Bethel,
Conn. she has gained distinction as
dog fancier, making a speciality Of
Pomeranians. Mr.. Dougherty is said
to have an income of $4,000 a year.
The question of alimony and counsel
fees will be determined later.

Knights of Saint
Patrick to Feast
at The Stratield

All arrangements have been CONF
pleted for the annual banquet Of the
Knights Of st. Patrick, to- be held at
The Stratfeld, Monday evening. These
banquets have been distinguished for
the high standard Of oratory, which
has prevailed on every occasion given
under the auspices Of this organiza-
ton. This year will be no exception,
and the society in concentrating
the day, has procured the services Of
orators of marked ability and wide
reputation.
Among the speakers will be Hon.
John r. Crosby Of Boston. Mr.. Cros-
by is one of the leading members OF
the Boston bar, and enjoys a reputa-
ton throughout New England for his
ability as an orator. He is in con-
slant demand for occasions where
public speaking is desired. His adj
dress on Monday night will be a gem.
and will add distinction to the after
dinner speaking.
Another orator who has accepted
the invitation Of the society to address
it on this occasion is Phillip Troup.
postmaster Of New Haven. Mr.! Troup
is one OF the leading citizens of New
Haven and was appointed by Presi-
dent Wilson a few years ago. He IL

who held a prominent position in ma
tional politics Phillip Troup has fol-
lowed his father in the field Of Jour-
nalism, and occupies lin the newspaper
work OF Connecticut a position OF
commanding influence. He has In
herited all his fathers gifts Of ora
tory, and is classed by those who have
listened to him as speaker surpass-
ing even In ability his late distin-
guished father. Mr.. Troup lately adj
dressed gathering at Hartford. held
in honor OF events in Irish history.
and his speech at that affair evoked
the highest admiration and unquali-
fed compliments.
During the banquet Irish songs will
be rendered by well known local
singers.
The dance program to follow the
banquet, music TOR which will be fur
nished by Murray's orchestra. is
proving an attractive feature among
the younger people and the society

gathering in It's history Monday even

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET WAS CAUTIOUS.
Best Quotations of the Day We're
 Made in the Final Hours.

New York, June 12-Trading pro- ceeded with greater precaution in the stock market today, a logical result of latest factors in the general f1nan- cial situation. Foremost among these were the stiffer money rates. Call loans did not rise to their maximum of the previous day, ruling between 1-2 and 4 per cent but time accom- cent for most maturities.
 The most conservative attitude maintained by local banks in accept ing collateral for ioans and new minimum of 23.6O for Russian ex- change were among the other incl edge off bullish enthusiasm. These were neutralized in part by a more hopeful feeling regarding the outcome of the Liberty Loan.
 Transcontinentals, grangers. coalers and minor western and southwestern issues figured among the active rails at extreme gains of one to 1-2 points. Pacific Mail featured the steamships at a frther advance of two points.
 Dealings dwindled on. the rebound the rise evidently failing to evoke out side interest Best quotations were made in the final hour.
 United States Steel, which fell to 129 1-2 on the liberal offerings of the at 130 5-s,5 net gain of 3-4 of point. Bethlehem Steel new stock and Lackawanna Steel made extreme gains of 1 1-2 to points and Savage Arms, one of the inactive stocks. made a net gain of 88 points. Industrial AL cohol and Unitedt Cigar Stores were among the strongest issues at the fin ish, the former making up much of yesterdays severe decline. Motors. oils and sugars were backward throughout the session. Totals sales amounted to 775,000 shares.
 Bonds were inclined to droop, Pa cifics showing some frregularity with low priced conVertibles. Total sales par value aggregated $2.450, 900.

 Mates in Batting.

Joe Shannon, the sorrel-topped cen ter fielder, is the real batting leader of the New Haven baseball team, accord ing to the official averages made pub lie. Shannon is hitting the horsehfde for the phenomenal average of 1855 for B games. shannon, by his play, is fui- filling the confidence placed in him by Manager Danny Murphy, who predicts a bright future for him.
 Breaking up the partnership that existed when the Shannon twins were together on the same club seems to have done a world of good for both of them. Maurice Shannon who was sent to Baltimore, is playing a whale of a game for Jack Dunn, and Brother Joe is even doing the same thing for the Murlins. Manager Murphy opines that Joe is a real star at the tender age of 19 years and will be called higher up before long. He attributes the New Haven clubs fine showing so far to

 From the sunny coast of California we travel to the sunny south, and here find some more real good boy shooters. Joe Pacini of the Norfolk -Portsmo (Va.)

He has an average of 95 in the cub shoots. Jennings Harding of Columbus, Ba., IA years of age, tied for third place in the Southern handicap at Memphis two years ago, and J. D. Cummings, a Nashville, Tenn, boy of Is years, broke 92 targets in the same event
 Russell Richards of Richwodo w. Va, is the oldest of our list of youthful trapshots, being 21 years. He had a run of 66 in the West Virginia State shoot last year. Richard l.. Beck is years old and lives at Martins Ferry, which is pretty close to Wheeling, W. Va. This lad has broken 55 out of so targets and is equally proficient in handling all other firearms. In a re- cent tournament of the Hill City Gun club of Vicksburg, Miss, Ted Bradfeld broke AZ out of 50 targets.

 Young lShearer is a live bird shot, too He has challenge out to meet any oby in the middle Atlantic states to a shooting match. Wilmington. Del, boasts of a lad who shoots above the average.
