Mrs. Randolph Wins
Order for Alimony
Says Descendant Of Famous
Virginia Family Started Cruel
Treatment on Honeymoon

Through proceedings in the Supreme
Court yesterday it became known that
Mrs Vera Schermerhorn Randolph,
daughter of the late George J. Scher-
mcrhorn, has left her husband, Robert
John Randolph, and is suing him for a
separation on the ground of cruelty.
Justice BLUR signed an order yesterday
granting Mrs. Randolph, who, it was
believed, received large income from
the estate of her father, $15 week
alimony. Mr.. Randolph, a native of
Virginia, is descendant Of John Ran
dolph, one Of the signers Of the Dec
laration Of independence.
Mrs. Randolph SAID in her petition
for aimony that since she left her
husband she had had an income of from
SIS to 500 a month from the sale of
handkerchiefs of her own manufacture
but this amount, being too little to
properly maintain her, she has been de-
pendent on the charity of her mother
and friends, to whom she is now in
debted $4,000. Mr.. Randolph, she said,
lives at the New York Athletic Club,
drives racing car and spends money
IN restaurants and cabarets.
The Randolphs were married in 1905,
after an elopement. The husbands
cruelty began on their honeymoon, Mrs.
Schermerhorn alleged.
Mr. Randolph denies his wife's allie
cations. He said that he is now serv-
ing the government in civilian ca
paclty and expects to receive d COM
mission as second lieutenant in the
army. He said he mas been living at
The expense of his sister and that II is

Madame Theodorini, Well

Nine. Helena Thcodorini, who one
year ago conducted an opera studio in
New York after being introduced to the
musical world by Caruso, Scott, Aida
and other operate stars, has been ar
rested as German spy, according to
reports from London. Her brief stay
here and frequent trips between Ar
gentina and New York attracted the
attention of the United States Secret
Service.
When she sailed for Spain the Brit
lsh Secret Service was notified. A
British warship interrupted her voyage
near Cadlz. When her baggage was ex-

treated chemically, disclosed some un-
intelligible markings.

Shipbuilding Stop

Eastern Vessels Must Be

WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.-stoppape
OF the wooden shipbuilding is only

manager Of the Emergency Fleet Cor

SAID, but vessels under construction in
the East must be completed as quickly
as possible, and available material is
being sent to the Atlantic coast and

new contracts would be given at this
time.
Henry Howard, director Of recruit

the committee that he believed there
would not be a shortage of officers and

Delay in Blue Case
.Stirs Navy Circles
Daniels Criticised for Not
Making Public Verdict of
Court Martial
LStaf Correspo1udencel

WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.-Thc fail
ure of the Navy Department to make
known officially the result of the court
martial of Captain Victor Blue COM
mandcr of the battleship Texas, which
went aground off Long Island some
months ago, has become the cause of
considerable embarrassment to that Of
flcer, it was stated in we'll informed
naval circles here to-day.
The naval court of inquiry made a
thorough investigation Of the incident
shortly following the mishap to the
Texas. Full responsibility for the ac-
cident was directed against Captain
Blue it is stated. The recommendation
OF the court, it is known, was that
Captain Blue should be reduced twenty
points. This recommendation was not
foncurred in by the commander of the
tieet, who held that the penalty was
too severe and the reduction was modi-
tied to reduction of ten points. No
Official announcement of this action by
the court of inquiry, however, has been
made by the department.
The absence of this announcement
and the further fact that Captain Blue
still retains command of the Texas and
has not actually suffered because of
the grounding Of the vessel, has placed
nm IN the embarrassing position of
being favored officer. The apparent
"whltewashing" of Captain Blue is
taken by we'll informed naval men to
be a forerunner Of a choice assign
ment being offered to him.
While Captain Blue himself is criti
clsed for not demanding an official
statement of the finding of the court
martial, there also is criticism directed
at Secretary Daniels for his reported
hesitancy in publishing the outcome of
the case. Strict disciplinarians in the
navy declare that the Blue case is
pointed to by officers as distinctly un-
fair to the service. Others assert that
any promotion or choice sea assign
mcnt rendered to Captain Blue will in
crease the dissatisfaction now prevail
ing for the departments failure to
officially make known the verdict in
the case.
The recent announcement of the
Navy Department that Captain Blue
was delegated to receive the Knox tro-
phy tor gunnery excellence, won by
the Texas crew last year, adds extra
weight to the prevailing impression
that Secretary Daniels desires to focus
Blue. ''''''

the valve which connected the burning
fluid with an enormous supply tank
containing 100000 gallons of kerosene
The fire. which occurred at the sup

alarms of fire were turned in, but fire
men quickly realized that their efforts
would be of no avail until the tank
