NEW YORK. Aug. 1s.-Lou Telle-

has given Geraldine Farrar an ex-
tension OF time within which TO Tile
an answer to his separation suit.
This was taken to mean that the so.
prano has accepted service and VIII
file a definite answer next month.
Indications yesterday were that
the names of several persons prom
inent in metropolitan musical and
social circles will be drawn into the
action.
Miss Farrar. 1t was reported, has
left the home OF her parents at
21O West Ninetieth street. Whether
she has left town could not be ascel-
tanned.
Harry NJ. Steinfeld. attorney for
Mr.. Tellegen, strongly denied last
night the reports that the actor does
not intend to press the suit. Stein
field said:
There is no hope for reconcllin-
ton. The time for that is past.
Mr.. Tellegen will push this suit to
the finish, and there is no ques-
ton in our minds as to what the
finish will be-"
The actual cause OF the impending
litigation is still unrevealed. Stein
field yesterday simply repeated that
Tellegen had been locked out Of his
house by his wife, and added:
1T was necessary for him to bring
action to preserve his self-respect
and avert public humiliation.

Discovery DispeIs Theroy That
Victim Was Robbed by Man
Who Slew Him.

Recovery OF the black pocketbook
reported as missing after the fatal
shooting of John Lacovaro, sixty-two
years old, at as + street northwest,
Wednesday night, has dissipated the
robbery theory and the detectives are
now investigating other angles of the
case.
The poclSetbook was recovered today
at the morgue when the morgue keep
err was searching the body. 1t con-
tanned a fifty-dollar Lberty Bond and
several gold coins when relatives last
saw 1t, but 1t was empty when found
today. IL is believed Lacovaro con-
cealed them in some part of his store.
The shooting occurred SO quickly
that the murderer did not have time
to rob his victim. He hurried into the
delicatessen, fired the fatal shot and
ran from the place. Robbery may
have been the murderer's motive, but
he was frightened off when he heard
Mrs. Locovaro running down the
stairs.
Detectives Kelly and Scrivener, who
are investigating the case, said today
the man had no enemies so far as they
could ascertain. Inspector Clifford l..
Grant, chief of detectives, could give
no reason today for the murder.
