Navy On Alert.

Washington, Oct. 13.-The Zeppe- lin ZR-S was floating today over the broad expanses of the Atlantic ocean, and the navy. on the alert, was standing by to render any help that might be needed by the great airship in its epoch-making journey from Friedrichshafen, Germany, to Lakehurst, N. J.
 No direct word from the ZR-3 had come to the navy bureau of aero nautics, because her radio range had not reached a point where navy apparatus could make contact, but through ships at sea and through lis other sources of information ef- forts were made to keep in touch.
 Captain George W. Steele, Amer ican naval officer aboard the ship. who will take command of her upon her arrival at Lakehurst, told the navy department in a belated radio- gram today of her departure from Germany where she was built for the American government in con- rormity with the terms of the armi- stice. adding that she sailed smooth- ly from the start and passed over the Bay of Biscay without incident.

storm on Ocean.

Washington, Oct. 13.-A moderate disturbance in the mid-Atlantic was reported today practically in the path of the ZR-2 by the naval ships on observation duty In connection with the trans-ocean flight. The lat est forecast relayed by the cruiser Milwaukee and giving the compiled prediction from all sources for the noon period today was as follows:
 "Disturbance south of Greenland moving northeastward with trough of low pressure southwest 10 Der muda. The lowest (harometer) 29.42. Pressure still high Quebec south to Florida; highest 3o:S4 at Montreal. Strong shifting winds above latitude 45, but diminishing elsewhere. Mod- crate to fresh northerly winds west Of longitude so and probably mod crate southwest winds between lati- tude S5 and 45. from longitude 60 eastward"
 On the basis of the forecasts off cials here predicted the cruiser would be assisted rather than hin dered by the disturbance. They pointed out that from the Azores the zR-3 might expect to have fla voring westward winds If conditions now prevailing continue and by maintaining her present indicated speed would arrive at her destina- ton about o'clock Wednesday morning.

Can Marry Now.

Chicago, Oct. 13.-With a divorce granted today in Cincinnati to Mrs. Rosamond Hart, the last obstacle in the marriage of Mrs. Shirley Knox Hall-Quest, whose husband obtained divorce here last Tuesday to en- able her to wed Frederick William Hart, was removed.
 Mrs. Hall-Quest departed from her hotel last Tuesday night after the news of the divorce granted to Dr. Alfred Lawrence Hall-Quest, dean of the extension department of the University of Pittsburgh, had become public.
 Major Hart, a public accountant and a member of the firm of Rauer and Hart, remained at his offices here but left the city last night His partner, Elmer Bauer, said today that the major was away on busi- ness and would not return before Thursday and that the marriage of Mrs. Hall-Quest and Major Hart would not take place during the early part of the week. he was sure. As to the marriage plans of the couple he referred inquirers to Ma jor Hart.
 Mrs. Hall-Quest left her Cincin- natl home with Major Hart in octo- Der, 1923. Dr. Hall-Quest carefully avoided any mention of Major Hart in his divorce hearing. The files of Mrs. Hart's divorce suit ignored mention of Mrs. Hall-Quest.
 Dr. Hall-Quest merely introduced Into evidence letters from his wife, with the name of Major Hart deleted in which she said she had not de- cided in haste but had waited before going away until she knew she truly loved another.
 The social sanction for marriage, she write, would bring greater con tentment and ease. but if that could not be, she was prepared to go on in the new love.
 Major Hart In e brief interview last week said Mrs. Hall-Quest had left the city but was nearby and that they would be reunited and married as soon as his wife could obtain her dlcorce. -

TRIBUTES PAID TO
 POLICEMAN SHELLY
Clergymen Refer to His Her0ism at Sunday
 Services

Not for a long time has New Britain been stirred to depth of feeling such as it was yesterday when it became known that Patrol man James Skelly had died in the New Britain General hospital from the bullet of an assassin, while in the performance of his duty.
 All over the city wherever people gathered, in the churches, and homes, the murder was the sole topic of conversation. Sympathy for the family, respect for the memory of the deceased policeman and indignation at the crime were expressed. Peculiarly pathetic was the scene at the autopsy when men were present who had worked side by side with the dead man.
 Detectives Feeney and Dolan, who with Patrolman Skelly have time after time taken emergency cases to the hospital were on duty during the inquest and were visibly affected Dr. Waterman Lyon, medical ex- aminer, as he worked, remarked Many time l have worked with Skelly. Little did l ever think he would be shot down like this" Drs Peter Fox and George w. Dunn who attended the dying man, and other physicians who were present at the autopsy also expressed theil indignation at the fatal deed. "He didn't have an enemy in the city, commented Detective Fceney.
 At the police station a general ail of sorrow was noted He wa: one of the most popular men on the force," was the general comment He was a good officer and a fine fellow" said Chief of Police William c.

Fugitive Described as Mild Hammered and Luxury Loving With Penchant for Flashy Clothes.

A mild-mannered, flashily dressed, luxury loving, gentleman yegg, with hair trigger brain and devoid of any conscience whatsoeyer;-such is the description acquaintances give of Gerald Chapman, notorious deni- zen of New York's underworld, es- capped convict, mail robber and gun man for whom nets have spread in every city in the east in an attempt to bring him here to answer for the death of Policeman Skelly.
 In October 1921, Chapman, at tired in a Tuxedo, wearing a mon- ocle and swinging a cane, sauntered down Broadway, boarded a car and one-half hour later engineered a mail robbery in which jewels and cash in the amount of $2,400, GOO were seized. Six months later he paid his first visit to his old haunts following the robbery and he was picked up by agents of the depart ment of police to whom a confeder- ate had "peached." Chapman was sent to Atlanta for a 25 year term in the federal penitentiary, On two occasions he attempted to escape and on the second he was wounded. While being treated in St. Mary's hospital, Athens, Ga, he leaped from the second story window, attired only in night clothes and made good his escape.
 Nothing was heard in police cir cles of Chapman's whereabouts un- til members of the New Britain po- lice department found themselves staring into the muzzle of his AS calibre revolver yesterday and an in- stant later Policeman skelly dropped to the floor fatally wounded

PERFECT LOVER IS
 NOW FREE TO WE'D Mrs. RoSamund Hart Gets De-
 cree From Her Husband THE HALL-QUEST CASE Man Is Correspondent fin Divorce Ac- tion of Last Week in Which Uni- versity Professor Gave His Wife Her Freedom.
THE HALL-QUEST CASE
Oct. 15.--Mrs. Rosa obtained a divorce from illiam Hart "nerfact

F llllam Hart, perfect lloyer" of Mrs. Alfred Lawrence Hall-Quest, in the court of domes- tic relations here today. Alimony, agreed upon out of court, consisted of $5,000 cash and one-third of Hart's income for the rest of Mrs. Hart's life.
 Mrs. Hart is likewise to have pos- session of the furniture and effects which were located in the Hart's apartment here. In the event that one-third of Hart's income at any time is more than $20O a month, the contract specifies that his former wife is to receive one-third of the income. She is to be given. in ad- dition $500 for attorneys fees and court costs.
 Judge c. L. Hoffman immediately after the hearing of testimony grant, ed Mrs. Hart the decree on the grounds of extreme cruelty. Throughout the case the name of Mrs. Shirley Hall-Quest came in for frequent mention. Hart was not in court although dispatches stated that he left Chicago Sunday night, ostensibly for Cincinnati. In con- sequencs Of Hart's failure to Appear, Judge Hoffman said that, although he had granted the divorce, he would not issue the formal decree { until Tuesday. This, however, is but technicality. Pale, with her voice but a whisper, Mrs. Hart told of the alienation of her husbands affections by Mrs. Hall-Quest.
 She and Hart were born in Lon- don, England, she said, and married there August 2S. 1905. After they had come to Cincinnati to live. she said, she learned about the other woman. Her husband, she said, "ad- mitted that he loved her and said he could not change his mind"
 His associations with Mrs. Hall Quest continued until May of 1923, Mrs. Hart said. Then her husband took her to England, saying he wanted time ''to think 1t over."
 ''We were tflere7 but two weeks" Mrs. Hart related. ''Then he said he was going back to Cincinnati. He didn't say why. He left me in Lon don. He came back to Cincinnati and resumed his associations with Mrs. Hall-Quest. He wrote me, say- ing he could no longer live with me as his wife. He went to Chicago some time in November. Mrs. Hall- Quest went with him. They have lived in Chicago since then. He said to me he couldn't live with me any longer because of his love for tEis other woman. He admitted he was living with her. He said I ex- pect to marry her as soon as l get a divorce.'"
 Professor Alexander Wilson. a professor at the University of Cin- cinnati, testified he was familiar with the Harts' family life. He de- scribed Mrs. Hart as being of very high standing.
 He related a conversation he had had with Mr. Hart before he went to Chicago.
 He said he had decided to do the thing" Wilson said. "and that they were going to Chicago together. and that it was the best they could do before they should be free to marry each other. But they were going whether they were divorced or not"
