er which causes the bomb to explode
on contact.
The invention is regarded as one Of
the most important developments in
bomb warfare.
Hand grenades now used in Europe
are dangerous. They explode easily
and are not equipped with safety de.
vices to protect the thrower. They
are often dropped with disastrous re-
suits in the trenches or in charges.
The American invention may be
thrown or dropped without exploding
unless the, plunger is set by the hand
attachment.
The formula for the explosives in
the bombs and the secret of the de.
tonator are carefully guarded secrets
of the ordnance bureau of the army.

Favors Annulment
Of Calhoun Marriage
Referee Learns Wife Hus-
band, Thought Dead, Is Alive

John G. Agar, as referee. yesterday
recommended to the Supreme Court
that an annulment of marriage be
granted to John c. Calhoun, jr., great
nephew of the Southern statesman Of
that name, from Mrs. Mary Virginia
Calhoun, grand-niece of President John
Quincy Adams. The suit was brought
on the ground that Mrs. Calhoun, who
had been married twice before, still
had a husband living when she was
married TO Calhoun in 1913 in Atlanta.
Her second husband, who she thought
was dead, is DR.. Benjamin +. Irwin.
He is still alive and is connected with
the United States Navy Hospital in
Samoa. Mrs. Calhoun's first husband
was Elliott W. Reed, whom she mar
ried in 1907 and divorced in 1912 in
Florida. She was married TO DR.. Irwin
four days after obtaining her divorce
from Reed.
Mrs. Cslhoun's testimony before the
referee was that she believed her sec
ond husband dead when she married
Calhoun. and letters submitted in evil
dence proved that she had reason to
think herself free TO wed again. The
Calhouns have been living at s67 Madi-
son Avenue, which also is the home of

With $l33 Indemnity,
Ends War with Cook
Separate Peace Concluded When
Beatrice Receives Repara-

Princess d'Aragonl Pignatelli has
made peace with Beatrice Gaughan, her
former cook.
Douglas Lawrence, counsel for the
latter in her suit for $4,000 damages
against the Princess, told Justice
Jones in Hampstead yesterday that the
long -standing feud between the royal
house of Aragon and the no less
historic County Cork had been settled.
The consideration was 1888, paid by
the Princess to recompense Miss
Gaughan for facial scratches and other
physical blemishes, alleged to have
been inflicted by the representative of
Aragon when the soup was of a dis
tasteful temperature.
The case was scheduled for trial in
the County Court until Mr.. Lawrence
appeared and announced the settle

Last month the case was tried be-
fore Justice Jones, who incensed the
Princess by referring to her as Mrs.
Pignatelli. Protest by the Princess
was met by the Justice with the
declaration that kings. cars and

Italy Expected to Send
Cocchi Back for Trial

Washington, June Extradition Of
Alfredo Cocchi, alleged murderer Of
Ruth Cruger, will be asked of the Ital-
ian government Immediately. The State
Department to-day cabled the Italian
government requesting his provisional
arrest. He is understood now to be de-
tanned in Italy 1t is believed that
Italy will promptly comply with the re-
quest as an act of grace if not as of
right.
II was pointed out to-day that tho
United States resisted the extradition
of Porter Charlton, charged with the
Lake Como murder, and that he was
surrendered to Italy only after fight
in the courts, which finally decided, the
Supreme Court afterward affirming the
verdict. that Charlton should be ex-
tradited.
Italy has contcnded that. even if
bound by the provisions of the extra
dition treaty of 1868, her constitution
f0rbids the extradition of Italian sub
jects charged with capital crimes in
foreign countries where the penalty is
death. and it was considered not I'M
likely to-day that Cocchi would seek
refuge in the constitution, and that
there will be legal contest over his
extradition, even if the Italian govern
ment decides TO eXtradite him for trial
in America.
In view Of the entrance of the United
States into the war, and of the assist
ance already given and more expected
by Italy from this country, il is prob
able that the Italian government will
not resist the extradition of Cocchi, but
will facilitate his return to the United
States for trial.

When Mr.. Oeland mentioned bunker
coal transactions, which is the subject
OF another indictment against the de-
PENDANTS. there was spirited objection
by the defence on the ground that this

not actually handled bunker coal, all
were charged with having participated
in the alleged conspiracy to fix the

twice as high as the actual value. The

pointed out, is assessed at $500, 900
and is worth s7,5O0,OOo; the Hotel
