separation suit against Edward Schmal-
heiser, also known in the theatrical
profession as Edward Small. Justice
llcAvoy had to reprove Mrs, Schmal
helser during the argument of counsel
for her husband.
In the course OF the argument Of the
defense counsel. the plaintiff was re-
ferrcd to as a "paranoiac" To this
Mrs. 5chmalheiscr countered "Tncre
is not a word Of truth in wha= that
man Is aaying,' and the court !e-
qrestcd ner to keep her mace
The attorney for Mr.. Schmalheiser
told the court that the allegations Of
the wife were only the outpouring Of
a fertile Imagination, which also had
led Mrs. Schmalheiser to evolve q
worlds philosophy" on which subject
she had written in her magazine. When
she married tho defendant in 1912 she
was booking agent for the Loew circuit
in Boston. Her husband also was q
struggling booking agent at the time
with on income Of $50 q week. At that
time, said the lawyer, Mrs. Schmal-
h'iser told several persons that her
husband was earning So 900 q week:
that she was managing his business and
allowed him carfare and lunch money.
Il few sears ago the couple sera-
rated and entered into an agreement
under which Mr.. Schmalheiser paid his
wife $500 for a general release OF all
claims. including a!imony. Their diff
Iercnces subsequently We're aired in the
Domestic Relations Court. and Mrs
hmalheiser, it was said, denied she
ever signed the agreement or that she
had iAdorsed the checks that were
given under the terms Of settlement.
The attorney for the husband told
Justice McAvoy that his client haa
doubts about the mental condition Of

that III the last two years the slulnn

I'm cs,ing Defends Negotiations

From The 1'ri5ane's Hash.noto,' Eureou
WASHINGTON, Aug. 23.-The sub
jcct of the treaty with Germany came
up at to-days Cabinet meeting. and
it is understood that the President
said emphatically that the Administra-
ton does not believe it practical to
negotiate treaties "before mass meet
ing" In other words, while secret d.
plomacy is to be deplorcd, there are
phases Of diplomatic negotiations which
OF necessity must be transacted With
thc minimum publicity or the objects
SOUGHT after shall be impossible Of at
tainment.
1t was said after the meeting that
the President himself is incensed at
the reports noised about here that the
negotiations We're not meeting with
success. He long since made it known
that this nation was bargaining with
Germany in the hope that {. COM
pleted treaty would contain all the ele-
mcnts necessary for a complete re-
sumption of friendly relations.
1t was pointed out at the white
House to-day tnat negotiations with
Germany have, by tAc very nature Of
things, been surrounded with secrecy
and that the negotiating OF a compact
satisfactory to both sides could never
be attained if every move and every
proposal is to be publicly hera!ded
SO far as the Administration is con-
cerncd, it feels that negotiations have
proceeded in most gratifying man
ncr. What the President does resent
is forcing Of his hand by reports.
both printed and verbal, to the effect
that nothing was heard from the ncgo-
tiatjons because they were meeting
with failure. AS a matter of fact. it
was said at the White House to-day
that an official announcement concern
ing the German situation might be
forthcoming this week. The issuance
of a peace proclamation is another de-
velopment looked for within short
time. and probably will be announced
