Vatican Hears Troubles
OF Princess Radziwill
Divorce Application Of Former
Miss Dorothy Deacon Was
Made in November

ROME, Jan. 26.-The Vatican tribu.
nal having such cases in charge began
to-day discussion Of the request of the
Princess RadziwiIl for an annulment
OF her marriage to the Polish prince of
that name. The princess, who was Miss
Dorothy Deacon. of Boston, bases her
plea on the ground that she was forced
INTO tho marriage.
Before her marriage to Prince Rsdzi-
will Dorothy Deacon, a daughter Of the
late Edward Parker Deacon, was noted
Tor her beauty and long had been
prominent in sociNty in London and
Paris, as we'll as Newport.
-Four months before her marriage
news that the princes mother opposed
the match was in general circulation.
because of this there was much specu-
latlon in June, 1910, when a large crowd
gathered IN st. Mary's Roman Cathc<c
Church, London, only to find a post
poncd wedding
The month following, however, Prince
kadNwill and Miss Deacon were mar
ried in the little Catholic church in
Cadogan Street The few guests pres
ent noted the COLD. istlcss air Of the
usually Vivacious bride. The prince
nervous to the point of agitation, had
to seat himself in pew before the
ceremony was finished.
The couple apparently got along to-
gcther splendidly in Warsaw and in
Rome. where the princess immediately
forged her way TO the front in social
circles. She caused a sensation in
january, 1913, when she rode into n
ballroom seated in an ancient Roman
chariot drawn by team Of praucing
horses, which the princess drove with
one hand, while with the other she led
a l!on and a leopard chained together.
The application to the Vatican, which
was made IN November, was the first
news OF a break between the prince and
princess.

Special Message Founded ON

SPECIAL Correspondence
ALBANY, Jan. 26.-State regulation
OF milk was urged by Governor Smith
IN special message sent to the Leeis-
azure tonight, accompanying reports
OF the Fair Price Milk Committee Of
New York City and OF former Governor
Martin H. Glynn and State Education
commissioner John II. Finley, who were
appointed last summer to investigat te
the causes of the high cost of living.
IL IS the unanimous opinion of all
those who have made any study of the
milk subject said the Governor. that
the solution lies in state regulation to
the end that an adequate supply be
always available at price within tho
reach of all.
Il urge your honorble bodies to read
these reports, having in mind that re-
lief can only come by Legislative ac-
ton, and | strongly urge you to con-
sider favoraby legislation to carry
these recommendation into effect"
Governor Smith said that last year
witnessed steady increase in the cost
OF milk to the consumer.
While all food commodities have
increased in cost. continued the Gov
ernor, the special attention Of our
people IS attracted to the question Of
an &dequate supply of milk at prices
within reach of everybody Inasmuch
as milk is the sole food Of infants. and
absolutely necessary to children and
lnvalids and those convalescing, the
question of its price becomes infinitely
more important than the economic
question involved in the price Of food
generally. It becomes question oil
public health, and is as vital to the
welfare of great community as is
supply Of pure and wholesome fresh
water
Governor Smith said that the re-
ports Of Mr. Glynn and DR.. Finley
urge the necessity on the part of the
state of declaring the productions dis
