Husband Who Was
Too Painfully Good
Mrs. Angelique Reese Declared Spouse
Was 'I-lpossil'la," Motion Pict-
ure Actor Declares.

WHITE PLAINS, y. Y, Thursday
"He was so good that he was impossible. .
This was the reason given by Mrs. An
gelique Reese, OF Yonkers, for the sepa-
ration of herself and her husband. Rich
mond Fl. Reese, lawyer. now living. in
Manhattan, according to Mrs. Helen
Grant, a motion picture actress. Mrs.
Grant testified for the defence today in
the Supreme Court in Mrs. Reese's suit
for separation. Mrs. Reese charges
cruel and inhuman treatment.
Lawrence Grant. a motion picture actor
and husband of Mrs. Grant, testified Mrs
Reese asked him to get her position as
a motion picture actress. He tried to dis
suade her, he declared, but she believed
she could make a success before the
camera.
HE is too painfully good she said OF
her husband, according TO Grant.
Several witnesses testified for the de-
fence that the Reeses had always appeared
to be very affectionate. and that there was
no evidence of any trouble between them.
Edward S. Hine. a real estate expert of
Bridgeport, Conn. one OF the men named
by Mrs. Reese as Objectionable companions
forced upon her by her husband, said that
he had known both Mr.. and Mrs Reese
since before their marriage. and that they
had always been friendly. He said he had
never heard that Mrs. Reese considered
him to be immoral Mrs. Hine followed
corrobating her husbands testimony, and
adding that all four called each other By
their first names.
Reese himself took the stand, gave his
age as forty-two, and said he now lives ir
4 New York rooming house. He said he was
graduated from New York University. and
was admitted to the bar in 1908. He said
he felt hurt when his wife left him
and that she left two days after he told
her that he had been rejected for a life
insurance policy. He blamed his wife's
mother, Mrs. Mary Hart. in large part for
the separation. He said he was willing,
for the sake of their three-year-old daugh-
ter, Catherine. to take his wife back. He
denied all of the immortality charged by
his wife.

President Wilson to retain control of the
railroads for another two years. With
settlement of the differences between Sen

bill in sight. largely along the lines of the
Esch bill, those who are urging retention
Of the roads have no recourse but the
President, and are bringing nationwide
pressure to bear on him to rescind his
proclamation,
The recent demand for increased wages
by the railroad organizations is part OF
this m movement. and it is understood there
is great seriousness of purpose back o1
the demand.
Curiosity is centring on what course the
President will take, but up to this tims
undertake to rescind his proclamation
Any attempt on his part to do so will bt
Immediately appealed to the courts, or
the ground that the President has eXer
cised his authority in issuing his proc
lamation and that he could not rescind i
now ii he wished, except on a showing o.
war necessity, under which authority tn,
roads were turned over to him.
The demand for increased wages is Civ
ing the Railroad Administration consider
able trouble and Walker d. Hines
Director General, will give his answer t,
the railroad workers early in February
II is understood that he will decline I,
make any increases in wages before tn
roads are turned back, OH the grount
that the question Of wages is no longe

This feature of the situation makes TIL
anti-strike legislation in the new railroa,

The conferrees still adhere to what i

That the general sentiment OF tn

Irish, British Poets
of Two Generations
Meet at Dinner
Mr.. SaSSoon and Mr.. Yeats Tell
Impressions of Work of
Others.

Irish poetry of one generation. in the
person of William Butler Yeats. met Eng
lish poetry Of another generation, in the
dinner of the Poetry Society of America
in the Hotel Astor last night.
Edward ]. Wheeler. president of the So
cety. presided. The speakers other than
Mr.. Yeats and Mr.. Sassoon were Yone
Noguchi. Arthur Guiterman, Margaret
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. and Gale Young
Rice. Many prominent poets and prose
writer's were present. including Edwin
Markham. Charles Hanson Towne, Hildet
gardc Hawthorne. Alice Hogan Rice, Wit
ter Bynner. Percy Mackaye and Gilbert
Cannan
"All poetry is either q triumph OF a man
over himself or a triumph Of man over
circumstances. Mr.. Yeats declared.
Referring TO Mr.. Sassoou. he commented
on the wide barrier" between one genera =
ton and another Of poetry.
I'VE OF my generation were all sub
jcctive. SIR. Sassoons : generation is OBJ
icctivc My generation produced a little
great love poetry, little great religious
poetry. The greatest lyric poet does not
produce moro than thirty pages Of poems
worthy TO live after him.
Mr.. Sassoon. who arrived in New York
from Europe on Wednesday. said he came
with a toothache and he would leave with
a heartache. Asked by three interviewers
for his first impression Of New York. he
replied I rode through the streets
in a taxicab kept saying to myself:-"Oh,
hell where Is the nearest dentist"
Mr.. Sassoon said IL he should be asked
TO vote for the Prime Minister of living
English poets he would cast his vote for
man whom most Americans probably
know only as a prose writer. Thomas
Hardy. He read three Of his poems and
gave a fourth In response 10 applause.
Mr.. Rice ssaid that American poets.
whose lines twenty years ago were used
as filters at the bottom of a page, had
come into their own In the last few
years Mr.. NogIehi declared cold neral
ity is often mistaken for art.
Mrs MISUNDERSTANDING pleaded -.c,
the public 10 give the poet time off, to
treat him like an ordinary human being.
Miss Jessie b. Rittenhouse read letter
from cecil Roberts. who recently arrived
from England. in which he said that " H.
in New York that most English poets first
become personally acquainted with ono
another these days.
Arthur Guitcrman relieved the strain o.
the poetic atmosphere by reading alleged
fayorite quotations Of those present.

Roosevelt Company
Seeks German Ships
Corporation of Which He Is Secre-
tary Bids for Twenty-Eight Seized
by Brazil During War.

Representatives here of the American
Major General George w. Goethals is
president and Captain Kermit Roosevelt
secretary. said today that an effort is
being made to purchase twenty EIGHT of
the former German ships in Brazil and
that the deal still is pending.
Captain Roosevelt and Alfred Z. Clegg,
an officer of one of the subsidiary COM
panies, are now in South America to take
up the proposed sale with the Brazilian
government. a recent report from Mr
Clegg was to the effect that the negotia-
tions We're 80 per cent complete.
When the war broke out Germany had
in Brazilian waters between fifty and sixty
ships aggregating about 10000 gross tons
With the entry OF the United States into
the war and the putting to transport uses
of American ships previously carrying sup
plies Brazil chartered to France between
forty and fifty of these ships. For this
purpose the French Chamber of Deputies
appropriated 100000 francs. The char
ter to France was for one year and in
cluded, il was stated at the time, the
right of France to make outright pur'
chase of the ships at the expiration oi
the charter
France not availing herself of this pro
vision, the American Ship and Commerce
Corporation made an offer for the vessels
1t is also understood here that the ques'
ton of Brazils right to sell the former
German ships has been questioned by the
Allied Preparations Commission.
Recent maritime reports show that fifty
six of the vessels are in active trade, the
majority with France. All are operated
under the Brazilian flag although some are
manned by French crews.

Important to ell Women
 Readers of this Paper

Thousands upon thousands of women have kidney or bladder trouble and never suspect it.
 Women's complaints often prove to be nothing else but kidney trouble, or the result of kidney or bladder disease.
 If the kidneys are not in healthy con dition, they may cause the other organs to become diseased
 You may suffer pain in the back, head ache and loss of ambition. Poor health makes you nervous, irrita- ble and may be despondent; it makes any one so.
 But hundreds of women claim that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, by restoring health to the kidneys, proved to be just the remedy needed to overcome such conditions.
 Many send for sample bottle to zee what Swamp-Root, the great kidney, liver and bladder medicine, will do for them. By enclosing ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & Co.,, Binghamton, N. Y, you may receive sample size bottle by Parcel Post. You can purchase medium and large size bottles at all drug stores.-Adv.
