MEDDLESOME CENSOR
CAUSES ARREST HERE
Business Snarl Brings Accusa?
tion. Then Apology.
How the work of the stern war cen?
sor in Europe caused the arreet of an
Innocent and energetic young business
man right here In New York waa told
yesterday before Magistrate Nolan In
the Tombs court. Tho victim waa Al
fred V. ('uidet. manager of the Metal
Export Company of America, 24 Stone
Street. His accuser wr.s Albert A.
Moors, president of the same concern.
Moers had recently taken a creat lik?
ing to Gtiidet and showed his regard by
making the toaaa ?nan his business
manager. Then Moer* married his
st?nographe! and went abroad. He be?
gan to get puzzling letters and cable?
grams from (iuidct, and, fearing that
all waa not well, he suddenly returned.
On his arrival he found that many
checks had been indorsed over to
Gai dot. There was a stormy interview
between Moers and Ills young prot?g?
that ended in the latter'a arrest. Then
Mr. Moors went around to his bankers,
M?ller, Sekrawl & Co., 45 William
Street, and was amazed to find that
they had not received a single one of
his cablegrams instructing them to ad?
vance money to Guidet to run the busi?
ness.
Meanwhile Guidet had declared that
he had been advancing thousands of
dollars to the firm from his own com?
missions. When the case came up yes?
terday Moors told Magistrate Nolan
that not only did he withdraw the
charge against Guidet, but he asked
permission to read his apology to the
defendant into the record.

Wheels of Progress
Along the New York Central Lines the
manufacture of motor cars, the Fourth
Greatest American Industry, has arisen to
a position of commanding importance
within the past fifteen years.
Of the more than 2,000,000 automobiles
operated in this country, more than nine
tenths were built in the industrial centers
served by this railroad. Plans for the con?
struction of nearly a million new cars in
1916 prove that the motor car has become
an economic necessity. It has become the
horse of the farm, the truck of industry,
the wagon of commerce, the carriage of
society, the chariot of war.
It facilitates transportation and expe?
dites business. It brings millions of people
within easy reach of the railroad, " the
people's automobile." It helps to make
travel a pleasure, the purpose and achieve?
ment of

MRS.A.J.DREXEL
WINS HER SUIT
May Recover Money from
Her Husband Under
Deed of Separation.
DEFENDANT LEGAL
HOME IN ENGLAND
Chancery Court Rules Out His
Motion?Plaintiff Represent
ed by Sir Edward Carson.
London, Dec. M.?A Judgment in fa?
vor of Margarita Armstrong Drexel.
wife of Anthony J*. Drexel, the Amer?
ican banker, was rendered to-day In her
suit to recover money under a separa?
tion deed. The point involved was Mr.
Drexel's motion to set aside the service
of a notice of a writ by his wife, on the
ground thnt li's domicile was France
and that, therefore, he was outside the
jurisdiction of the English courts.
J istice Neville, who tried the case in
the Chancery fourt, ruled that England
-.va; tho domicile of Mr. Drexel. He
therefore catered judgment in favor of
Mrs. I>rexel and dismissed the hus-!
band's motion with cost?.
Sir Edward ("arson, who represented
Mrs. Drexel, argued that Mr. Drexel
too'-? the ground "that he could not be
sued In America because he had no rei
idence there, could not be sued in
France because divorce proceeding?
w?re pending, and could no* be sued
bOFS because he was not ordinarily ?
rttidttt of this country.
"Therefore it came to this," Sir Ed- '
ward continued, "that his wife could
not get the money at all."
He contended that Mr. Drexel had'
urged bis trif. to go to Pnr'.s on the
ground '.hat it would be easier to ob?
tain a divorce there, although Mr.
Dr.X.1 at thai time had n* intention of J
going to Paris if he could avo)d it. His
purpose. Sir Edward continued. WOO
that Mit. Dr.X.1 should go to Paris j
and that h. ihould be a party to her
divorce proceeding*.
Mr. Prexel bad attempted to free him- .
lolf rom tht loporotioa agreement, Sir i
Edward continued, by compelling his'
Wife to abandon her rights, either by
going through a fictitious form of di?
vorce proceedings in Paris or by sub
mitring othtrwiat to such terms aa the
husband dictated. The court concurred
in this view.
In announcing hi?, decision Justice
Neville said there was abundant evi?
dence to show that Mr. Drexel had ac?
quired an English domicile; that he had
made England his permanent home and
had expressed the intention over and
over again of neter returning to Amer?
ica.
Permission to appeal was granted.
GOULD TO FIGHT
KUHN-LOEB PLAN
Head of Family Objects to

tion Scheme.
MRS. SHEPARD AND
BROTHER OPPOSE HIM
Banking Firm Apparently De?
lighted at Prospect of Con
test for Control.
By refusing to depoait the Missouri
Pacific holdings of the Gould estate?
George J. Gould came out openly yes?
terday against the reorganiiation plan
drawn up by Kuhn, Loeb & Co., under
the agreement drawn up by the reor?
ganisation committee, of which Alex?
ander J. Homphi'.l, of the Guaranty
Trust Company, is chairman, and
whose membership includes Otto H.
Kahn. Seward Presser, president of
the Bankers Trust Compr.r.v; James
NY Wallace, president of the Central
Trust t'ompany, and Robert Winsor,
of Kidder, Peabody _ Co.
Mr. Gould's public announcement
that he would oppose the efforts ot
his obltime enemy, Kuhn, Loeb ?& Co,
to reorganize the Missouri Pacific did
not come as a surprise to the finan?
cial district, as their hostility toward
each other has been a matter of much
comment lince the spring of 1911?
when Could, after promising to sup?
port tho Kuhn, Loeb ticket at the an?
nual election, reversed his position at
the last minute and put through his
own siav.
In the new fight against the William
Street bankers Mr. Gould will have
the support of his brother Kdwin. Mrs.
Plaie*" J. Shepard and Krank Gould,
however, have already deposited their
securities under tho Missouri Paoifft
plan. Tho following statement waa
mude by Kdwin Gould, who apparent?
ly acted a? spokesman f.?r the head
of the family:
"The Go Yd estate Will no*, deposit
the Missouri Pacific bonds it hohl/,
The executors consider themselves a
committee to look after these bonds.
The matter has been up several time?*
at meetings of the executors, and
they have decided not lo deposit their
bond."

;had thrown down the gauntlet to them
, .seemed rather to reli.?h the idea of a
light. They seemed to have no faar
of tho outcome, and predicted that tho
. Goulds would not be able to iefea*
i their plans. They were somewhat at
!a loss, however, to imagine what the
nest Ciould move would be.
"If Mr. Gould fails to deposit the
holdings of the Gould estate under ttaa
plan," said one of the bankers, "j-o
will bo in the same position that the
Waba.sh bondholders were who failed
to assent to that company's reorgani?
zation plan. By failing to deposit
1 their bonds they only got $40 m
bond in the liquidation of the old com
pany, while the assenting bondholder?
received |400 for a $1,000 bond."
As the reorganisation m?nagera.
Kuhn, Loeb S? Co. formally announced
yesterday that considerable major.

bond issues had been deposited. There
have also been deposited 587,000.000

th? total amount outstanding, r'urtheh
large amounts have been pledged for
