NEW-YORK 1> WI.Y TRIBUNE. WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 2t> 1910.
FIRST WIFE TO BEGIN SUIT
From Paris Mrs. Chanler In
structs Lawyer to File
Complaint.
SHE WILL DEMAND JUSTIC
Couples Cavalieri and "Sheriff
Bob" in Action to Set Aside
Ante -Nuptial Agreement.
T"n!<vo<: I.ma Cavalieri is not dependent on
real estate for her happiness and can sat
isfy her craving's by reflecting upon the fact
that, after all. she is a June bride still
and her Vmshand is a man whose only
faults are his boisterous ways, her immedi
ate future does not seem crowded with con
tent.
If she has set her heart on certain Dutru
ess County farms and particular West Side
properties in Manhattan, she la going 1 to
have a lons pull, and will probably try to
find some salve as pood for wounded feel
ings as that which she is said to have in
vented for other women's complexions.
Many persons here and abrond say that
I>lna never should have received that ante
nuptial transfer of Robert W. Chanler's
real estate. T-tna was only second choice,
says Mrs. Julia Remington Chamberlain
Chanler. in Paris, who successfully main
tains that she was first on Mr. Chanler's
nuptial list. Pointedly Mr. Chanler's first
wife notified her attorney. F. N. Watrtas,
at No. 22 Liberty street, yesterday, that she
would demand Justice alonjr the. well es
tablished custom of "first come, first
Barred."
The first Mrs. <."hanler is living In Paris
with her two children. Julia and Dorothy.
She hap instructed Mr. Watrlss immediately
to brine suit in the Supreme Court to set
aside the atite-nuptlal agreement that
Chanler made with Cavalier! Mrs. Chanler
and her children now receive $20,000 a year
under an agreement made with Chanler in
l?<*i. when she frot her decree of separation
from him in the French courts.
Mrs. Chanter's counsel will begin action
hy filing a Us pendens in the County
Clerk's office, it is understood, together /vlth
a copy of the summons and complaint in
the proceedings asainst Chanler and Cava
lieri.
The Ha pendens will serve to notify all
concerned that an action is pending in the
courts that involves the title to the real
estate that the former Sheriff tri>c.i to trans
fer to the opera singer. While the tiling of
he ante-nuptial agreement with the County
Register by Cavalieri gives her a lien on
Chanler's real estate ahead of any Judg
ment creditor and does not affect the dower
riehts of Mrs. Julia Chanler in the realty,
it does seriously affect ber position with re
lation to the income of the property.
Chanler la now reported to be "sorry he
did It" whenever the ante-nuptial agree
ment is under discussion in his presence by
lawvera who are paid to try to keep its ap-
Darent face value from being realized by
Cavalieri. Every legal resource will be
taken advantage of by the ('hauler counsel
to that '-lit!. Chanler is docile now, they
say. He is even said to be in a highly
nervous state now, fearing that when he
issued that rash transfer he may have stood
between his two children and his first wife
and so much that could make them happy.
There is no doubt that the Chanler fa.m
ilv will use meney and diplomacy first,
and. if they fail, whatever recommends It
self as the next best thing, to secure an
fterrcal "aoodby" from Cavalieri to all those
wifely hopes that may now rest in the
thousrht that her possessions and Robert's
are one.
The Chanler counsel are prepared to pay
her well for signing some duly iron-clad
Dost-nuptial agreement having for its chief
paragraph the obligation on the wife's part
never asain to refpr with an owner's pride
to those same farms and West Side proper
ties several times aforesaid.
No money offer has been tendered to Cava
lieri as yet. but there is expressed in sev
eral auarters the confident belief that there
soon will be negotiations on between Sid
ney Harris. Chanlc-r's attorney, and Will
iam Russell Osborn. Cavalieri" s lawyer, in
an effort to determine the size of the tip
that a grand opera singer can bring herself
to accept for leaning a husband.
Chanler's counsel declare that the artist
has not vet revoked the power of attorney
be rave to Cavalieri to collect her $20,0i.''t.
"1 am not going to do anything in the
matter at present," said Mr. Harris.
Chanler's tailor will have tn wait until
next .Monday before lie can demand judg
ment by default in his suit for |H7 brought
a few days ago before Judge F. B. Dele
hantv in th« City Court. Affidavits in fhe
ca «=e w^re filed by the tailor's counsel yes
terday.

JOSS HOUSE TO BE CLOSED
Reformers Plan to Turn Temple
Into Public School.
The Chinese temple, or joss house, at
No. 16 Mott street, will soon be abolished
and the owners of the dozen algti I Baling
cars which conduct several hundred tour
jsts every nipht to view the chief attrac
tion of Chinatown may have to look for
Other places to keep their business going.
The leading Chinese merchants who com
pose the membership of tho > "hlnese Pub
lic (liamber are considering the proposi
tion of destroying the idols and using the
rooms to conduct the classes of the New
York i 'hinese Public School.
The classes of the r*hinese school are now
being conducted In the schoolrooms belong
ing to th-* church of the Transfiguration,
at Park and Mott streets, paying a rental
of CO a month. The Chinese Public Cham
ler is tne trustee of both the school and
the temple.
The destruction of the Idols hi to *" the
chief of a series of reforms that are pro
posed ior Chinatown. It is to be followed
by the prohibition of public exhibition of
opium denp and the rrmoval of disorderly
and gambling houses. Pr Shin King
Wong, speaking of this. said.
"To < lose Ti:e house of worship of the
many thousands of our countrymen here
who sincerely believe that the gods will
order calamity to descend upon the com
munity for doing it is a serious matter.
We shall begin our work in such a way
as will not :ir<>upe any strong opposition
from the mass of Chinese in this city.
"Those objectionable things which hay»
tivpn this part of the city such a had
reputation have to go sooner or later.
Why not nerw?"
Formal action of the chamber to close the
temple is expected soon. After the main
temple is closed little difficulty, H was
said, would he experienced tn abolishing
the lesser ones.
As exclusively announced In this paper
on Friday many merchants of Chinatown
cut off their queues on Saturday ninht as
a testimony agahist superstition and in
favor of reform. Members of the Public
Chamber who cut off their queues long a*;o
entertained the new members at dinner on
Monday night, it was at this dinner that
the proposed reforms were discussed.

CUSTOMS MEN MAKE HAULS
Attempts to Smuggle Persist Despite
Officials' Activity.
The activity of the customs authorities
did not prevent several attempts from being
made yesterday to get dutiable g<io<i!>
through without paying the fees demanded
by the tariff. In fact, in one case, that of
Ignatius Horn, proprietor of the Hungarian
restaurant at No. 1629 First avenue, goods
wore found hidden away that were not duti
able at all. Horn was accompanied by his
wife and child, and on Mrs. Horn's person
were found, besides wearing apparel, three
billiard balls and various small articles of
jewelry. All the things were ordered seised.
Peter Stock and his wife, of .Port Arthur,
Tex., after passing the baggage examina
tion on the arrival of the steamship United
States, were leaving the pier, when a cus
tom* watchman, George H. bears noticed
that M" Stock's clothes were bulging. .An
inquiry revealed that «he had various kinds
of souvenirs. They said they had not con
sidered It. worth whil«» to declare them, as
they were only trinkets. They were allowed
to pay $10 duty.

AN IDEAL FABRIC.
Oriental weaves ami clinging robes, for
which the fabric must be soft and drapy,
are in fashion, and nowhere have materials
of this character reached a more success
ful development than in the new Priestley's
English tussah royal. The soft tad
lustrous finish of thts fabric, together with
its draping quality, appeals to alt women
who understand tiit- art of elegant dressing.
It is shown hi all the plain and pu.^tf!

SMARTNESS IN FURS
It Is Largely a Matter of Design
and Workmanship.
To the fashionable woman no subject
Wfß be more interesting during the '•!'
and winter than that of fur. So great H
the demand for p»ltry. both ■■ a mafrial
for entire garments and for trimming*,
that the variety of skins use«i is greater
than ever before, and because the cost of
th* more valuable ftirs Is increasing er»rr
year some that have. be*n but lightly es-
teemed in the past are now comin? to the
fore. The smartness of a garment or ac
cessory of any particular kind of fur is
largely a matter of design and workman
ship. The discerning woman who. has only
a limited amount to spend will therefore
ho one one of the humbler varieties of
skins. so that aha can afford to have them
treated with all possible skill.
Raccoon hi one of the inexpensive furs
that has prored itself, under the master
hand, to have wonderful possibilities. To
any one who has been accustomed to think
of raccoon as batafj suitable only for bis;.
clumsy coats that serve as a protection
from the cold, without any aesthetic con
siderations whatsoever. the charming
muffs and neckpieces now made of it come
as something of a surprise. They have
the natural heads and tails for decora
tions, and m form resemble those made
of fox. The varied tones of raccoon make
it very effective in combination with dif
ferent textiles, and it is used with great
success in millinery. In one hat it served
as a connecting link between a dark brown
velvet crown and a white satin brim, and
