Wife of Bear Admiral A. R. Cou- den. U. S. N, retired. The foregoing "personal notice" In the current Issue of the Army and Navy Journal yesterday furnished members of Washington society and the naval set In particular an Interesting little tale. Involving to some extent the marital dif ficulties between Bear Admiral Couden end his wife, who Js suing him for a limited divorce and separate main tenance In the District Supreme Court. If it had not been for this suit It Is highly probable this public apology on Mrs. Couden's part. twele jears after the occurrence giving rise to it. would ner have been made. On August M Capt. Hlnes, who now lives in Montclalr. N. J., testified be fore a referee In Washington, the rec ords show, in the suit brought against ttiar Admiral Couden and at the lat ter's request. His former commanding officer wanted legal proof of the fact, apparently, that Mrs. Couden was aboard the Mohican for a certain period while this gunboat, to which the officers and crew of the Wheeling, the man-of-war mentioned in the notice quoted above, had been transferred.

He said he could, and he related the incident on the Wheel ing which led to the apology by Mrs. Couden printed In Saturday's issue of The Army and Navy Journal. Rear Admiral Couden in 1900 was a captain in command of the Wheeling, stationed In Alaskan waters, and Capt. Hlnes, then a lieutenant, was his nav igating officer. Capt. Couden. while his vessel was anchored off Sitka, gave a dinner in his cabin at which the oth er officers of the ship and Mrs. Couden. among other women, were present. The conversation turned on the American and British navies, and Mrs. Couden, who Is an Englishwoman, took a vig orous part in it. As the topic unfolded she began making comparisons, aimed partly at her husband, between Brit ish and American officers, to the dis paragement of the latter. Her husband remonstAted with her. He questioned the accuracy of her statements and their good taste in such a company. But she persisted. Continued on Page Ten.

' r REFRESHING AFTER -EARTH Says Satan Is Very Much derstood and Maligned Character. Weird stories of hell, transmitted to him through his ex-faculty, as he terms It, by his departed friend, Thomas Jef ferson Miller, were told in Alexandria yesterday by John Armstrong Chaloncr, of Merry Mills, Va., scion of the noted New York family who had him placed In Bioomlngdale Asylum and from which he escaped to Virginia. These stories he declared to be "as whirling as the Arabian Nights and no more miraculous than the New Testament." Hell, according to Miller. Is not "the old-time place of perpetual. Indiscrimi nate combustion. That old scarecrow serves well enough on earth, and Is near enough the truth to servo Its purpose on earth." Hell flame, accoraing to Miller, la "a thinking, diamond rattlesnake that beautiful and noble reptile that molests no one that does not cross Its path, but strikes to kill all that do cross its path and do not give away before It. Hell flame." Miller continues. "Is a com position of my own Invented shortly after arriving here from Paradise. In hell, according to Millers revela tions to Chaloner, everything Is judged primarily by the intent. "In law with ou," be says, "intent, of course, gov erns, but the intent must be followed by action on earth In order to bring the party under the law. Whereas In hell the intent In Itself is enough to convict a man of crime. If a man thinks adultery in hell be commits adultery, and sharp and shrewd will the- reckoning be. If a man thinks rape in hell he commits rape. If theft, theft. If arson, arson. and so on down the list. And lastly, if a man thinks a lie by which In this as in previous cases, of course. Is meant If he wishes In his heart that be had a chance to lie, and would lie be lies." AH Mn.t Prepare. Miller tells those on earth to steel their courage and arouse their characters to the campaign before them, "which will require jears of severe and torturing training before 5 ou can possibly be ready for the- ordeal." Miller described to Chaloner the sen sations of death. "You must know." he is alleged to have said, "that death comes without the least trans'tlonal shock or feeling whatever. By this, I mean that upon making the passage of the Styx as the ancients bad It there Is neither jar nor shock, nor sense of falling and landing, though, of course. the soul does fall and does land, since hell Is within this terrestrial ball. do not. of course, mean that there Is no phjacal pang at the dissolution of the human existence at death sometimes the pang Is dreadful; any physician can tell you that who has seen people die in agony but I refer to the aftermath, so to speak, that follows after the heart ceases to beat, and life In your world is entirely extinct." Continuing his death sensations. Miller Is alleged to have communicated the follow ins: Napoleon on Throne. "Upon reaching the undiscovered country the first sensation I experienced was that of awaking after a sound and peaceful sleep. I felt refreshed, vigor ous, calm, and cheerful. Not a pain or an ache and not a care on my mind. could scarcely believe my senses this unutterable relief from years and years of pain and care. I mentally prepared to look about me and wonder not where I was, but how I was, for all these delightfully new sensations coursed through my being Derore i. naa time to open my eyes and see where I was. When I did open my eyes, what did I behold? Napoleon , Bonaparte sitting upon a throne the like of which never before was seen. Miller hero described the bed of gold. the spotless linen, creamy woolen blankets and other sumptuous furnishings. The bedrooms, he said, were twenty-four feet square and the walls were studded w 1th rubles. The "elect" are not. according to Mil ler's alleged revelations. Immune from lielL "You may as well know first as last." he says, "that the vicarious sacri fice of Jesus Christ, by which alone we miserable mortals escape perpetual flame, does not land the elect on the sunny side of the Jordan. Far from It. Over and above said vicarious sacrifice each man and each woman must work cut his or her salvation In purgatory which is but another name for helL Work It out. he or she must, in agony and bloody sweat, such as Christ experienced upon the cross." Miller Is alleged to have declared that when he "undertook this Job de desired to intimate tnat ne as not at liberty to describe every se cret of hell. Satan Is Gentleman. In the opinion of Mr. Miller, according to the message to Chaloner, Satan "Is about as thoroughly misunderstood a personality as It Is possible to picture. Satan is no enemy of Jehovah, as is sin for whom Satan has stood as a pro totype In tho Scriptures since the begin ning of time. Satan is Jecovan s rlgnt handed minister Satan is Jehovah's pub lic prosecutor as the District Attorney is with us In the North and Common wealth's Attorney In the South. 'Per sonified sin Is everything vile, treacher ous, and bad that Satan or the Devil Is alleged to be :n the Scriptures. But you must know that bad the existence of personified sin been revealed in the crlptures It would have complicated an already sufficiently complicated state of affairs among believers. Therefore. Satan has been employed In the dual role of Jehovah's attorney general to try out all supposedly fair-minded men and women and separate the gold from the dross. Briefly, Satan 4s the highest power In heaven after, the trinity. .He reigns in hell, but appears In heaven as he pleases." Satan, Miller declares, Is a prince, a gentleman, a hero, and noble creature who has been maligned as no other being has been maligned since the beginning of time.

SEPTEMBER SIX LOSE LIVES IN LAKE STORM; NINETEEN SAVED Boatload of Naval Recruits Goes Down iif Gale Near North Chicago Station. Chicago, Sept. 13. Six boys, recruits at the United States Naval Training Sta tlon at North Chicago, lost their lives to-day In a Lake Michigan tragedy which In many respects has no parallel. The dead: W. E. Antrobus. Chicago; R. C. Harlan, Memphis. Tenn.: L L. Southworth. Nash ville, Tenn.; John Wallace, Jonn i-auon. petty officer, Detroit, Mich,; A. L. Ray mond. Twenty-three boys, one able seaman, who was a petty officer, and another petty officer, set forth early In the afternoon for a pleasure sail. They becamo helpless In a gale, but fought their wav almost to shore, where the tragedy occurred within 100 feet of frantic people on the oeacn. One man who battled valiantly against the storm and saved two lives besides his own, raving in delirium as he walked up and down the shore this evening, declared that he and he alone was responsible for the loss of life. That was William Negus, petty offi cer and able seaman. Takes All Blame. "It was my fault." he cried. "I could have saved them. I could have beached the boat and they would all have reached the shore." But Capt. W. F. Fultam, commandant of the station, who saw the tragedy, declared that Negus did all he could when he dropped anchor near the shore. "He thinks be could have beached the boat, but he could not," said the com mandant "His oarsmen were exhausted, and they were helpless against the pull of the water. In full view of hundreds of people along the shore the boat capsized. The lake was alive with struggling boys. Many of them had never been In rough water before. . They struck out strongly for the shore. but there was an undertow In addition to the heavy waves. Three boys got almost within arms reach of rescuers, when they were snatched back by the sea, and w'ent down. A survivor told a dramatic story. "Negus wanted to save the boat." he said. "He knew that If he, as the only able seaman aboard, returned without the boat he would lose his position. When we had almost reached the shore, and he saw that we could not land without smashing the boat, he gave the order to drop anchor. At the k same time he headed the boat out to sea. Orders Anchor Dropped. " 'Drop anchor.' he said to one of the boys. "The lad turned pale, and stammered: 'Have I got to obey that order?" "Drop anchor," repeated Necus sharn- ly. and the boy who had sworn obedience when he enlisted, dropped the anchor without a word. But Negus thought he was dolng--the right, thing and Capt. f'uiiam is sun certain ol It. The boat was near the shore. It seemed almost a certainty that the boys' could swim the distance. And still Negus was care ful. But the waves were too much for them. 'Is there any one here who cannot swim?" demanded Negus. "I cannot swim, sir," said a boy in the boat. Another boy was in the stern, pray ing. I don t know whether I can swim in water like that," he said. Come with me, both ot you." order ed Negus. And he went into the boil ing lako with the two boys. Others followed, striking out for themselves. The boat capsized on a sand bar Just as the last boy left it A group of the recruits, fearing to attempt the hard swim, clung to the upturned boat until the -waves and the undertow tore them sway.

CAUSES COMMOTION HERE If True, Taking of Prisoner Will Break the Backbone of Revolution. Unofficial advices were received here last night to the effect that Gen. Orozco had crossed the border Into the State ot Texas and had been captured by Capt Mitchell, U. S. A. Gen. Steever. com manding the American forces at El Paso, telegraphed the War Department that this rumor had reached him. but that he was unable to confirm It. He added that he had sent re-enforcements to Marfia. Tex., where Capt. Mitchell Is stationed. The report caused a great deal of com motion here last night, and the greatest significance Is attached to It in those quarters where the rumor is credited. It is the general belief here that it the re port be true, and Orozco Is in the cus tody of the United States army that the collapse of organized revolution In the north of Mexico Is at hand. It Is not believed here that the rebels would last long without Orozco, who for months has been the brain of all the operations in the north. Wonld Disprove Rumors. On the other hand, it is pointed out that if the report of Orozco's capture Is correct, it goes far to disprove the rumors of the last forty-eight hours to the effect that a general uprising. In which the federal forces of the north are to join, is due to take place to-day. which Is the national holiday ot Mexico. According to the report of Orozco's capture, he was driven across the border by federals, who pursued him and his force after a hot engage ment. The one fact which has been taken as lending some semblance ot truth to ru mors that the Federal soldiers Intended to join the revolution. Is that apparently they have not taken any steps to run down Orozco or any of his chieftains, who have been raiding and pillaging la the border country In the last few weeks. If they Intended to join Orozco In revo lution against the Madero government. it is hardly likely. It Is said here, that they would attaclc- him and drive him across the-border. - Dispatches to the State Department yes terday gave no sign of any change In the situation. Ambassador Wilson re ported that great uneasiness prevailed in the capital over what to-day may bring forth. He also reported that he Is tak lng steps looking to the ascertaining of the whereabouts of John Devine. an American, reported sentenced to death by rebels.

Assistant Prosecutor Says Accused Men Impressed Hii with Intelligence. New York, Sept. 15. "Gyp the Blood, and "Lefty Louie," the two alleged' Rosenthal murderers captured last night, were ordered from the custody of the police to-day by District At-, torney Whitman, to separate cells in' the Tombs with an abruptness that' caused Deputy Commissioner Dough-! tery and his men to stop talking of the case. The prompt action of the District At torney is taken to Indicate that he has no faith In the story of how the polios trailed the wives of the men for more than a month, learned of their house hold purchases, and still failed to land the fugitives. Mr. Whitman's wishes were made known to Assistant District Attorney Moss In a long distance telephone mes sage from St. Louis. Mr. Moss admitted that the story as glen out by Deputy Commissioner, Doughtery of how the murderers were located on a clew that called for bouse with a laundry under it and a moving picture show to the rear would "not hold water." Wives Held as Witnesses. The girl wives of the two men were ordered held as material witnesses. Ball was fixed at J1.W0 In each case. In default of which they were sent to the House of Detention. Michael Kramer, the New Haven pick pocket who was found In the Brooklyn flat with the party, was also held as a material witness. All of the prisoners will be arraigned before Justice Goff in the Supreme Court to-morrow morning. With the same stnclal sljfnce with which they accepted arrest. Gyp" and "Lefty" still refuse to discuss the mur der charge against them and will tell nothing of their movements either be fore or after the crime except that they have been living In Brooklyn about af month. ' Assistant District Attorney Moss, who with Deputy Commissioner Doughtery, submitted the two gunmen to a "sweat ing" process, declared that no informa tion of value had been elicited from the prisoners. "We examined the men separately and with questions went oer all known de tails of he Rosenthal murder, but failed to get any satisfactory informa tion," said Mr. Moss. "To all questions that might In any way connect them with the crime the same stereotyped an swer was given. 'We decline to answer.' Imprrmrd b- IntelllBence. "The only change In the form of re plies to my questions was when they would' sometimes answer: 'We do not care to discuss the case in any way until we have had time to talk with a law er." "I was very much Impressed with the arparent intelligent of both "Gyp the Blood.' ai.d 'Lefty Louie' I do not re call that at any time during the exami nation that an ungrammatlcal word or sentence was used by either of them. They are far above the typo from which gangsters are commonly supposed to de velop. 'There was everv evidence that the prisoners were prepared to meet the sit uation with which they were confronted. They had either been schooled In what rot to say by some skillful adviser or they displaj ed remarkable Intelligence In prearranging a plan which both adhered to so closely that nothing detrimental could be obtained." The wives of the gunmen have already begun to talk, and tb stories they tell about automobile rides with their hus bands through Brooklyn and at Coney seems to Indicate that very little, if any, fear of the police was entertained at any time. It also shows that a number of persons must hae known of the pres ence of the murderers In the city. Good Time at "Cone) " Mrs "Gyp" told, with much glee, of the good time she and Mrs "Lefty" had with their husbands at the Coney Island Mardl Gras last Tuesday night This Is the day Deputy Commissioner Dougherty tells that his men saw the girls get off the Second Avenue elevated at Ninety-second Street and disappear In an automobile.
