THE THEATRES
JACKSON'S
JACKSON'S VAUDEVILLE.
; The excellent bill of vaudeville which
&ias been delighting capacity audiences
daily at this theatre comes to a close
this evening, and it is expected that
the 6. R. O. sign will have to be hung
out real early, at least the superior
excellence of this program would war-,
rant it. From start to finish, it is a
tip-top bill and one that has met with
the unauallfied favor of the clientele
at Jackson's. The headline feature,
the Breakaway Barlows, in sensational
feats on the ladder-trapeze, has proven
a thriller of the most startling order,
and is easily the best act of its kind
ever seen in this etty. The limit in
daring is reached in many of their
Ptunts. and particularly so ".n their
closing number, when the ladder upon
which both performers are perched
seemingly breaks in two. and revolves
e round in a most perilous fashion.
Those who are looking for the sensa
tional In vaudeville will have their
desires satiated here. The other acts
also contributed their share to the
general excellence of the entertain
ment. They include Chas. O'Toole,
the pinging monologist; McG-rath and
Yeoman, comedy entertainers, in the
Finging and dancing skit. "The Luna
tic and the Maid"; and TValsh and
Walsh, cWassy singers and dancers.
Those who have not seen this bill,
Fhnuld take advantage of this last op
portunity tonight. The usual scale of
prices will prevail.
The srand opening of the summer
fteaso.n of high class vaudeville and
jnotion pictures "will take place Mon
day, and to fittingly dedicate the oc
casion Manager Jackson has arranged
en enticing and delicious array of vau
deville talent, and one which is un
datable in its quality. As a special
leadline feature for the entire week

inent and talented of all vaudeville
teams. Collins and Hart, comedy strong

playhouse, where they -were the star

ANGLO-JAP EXHIBITION,
RICH IN ART TREASURES
OPENS WITHOUT CEREMONY
(Special from United Press.)
London. May 14. The Anglo-Japanese
exhibition, planned to open last
Thursday with great eclat by the
present King and Queen, opened with
out ceremony today. The death of
King Edward caused abandonment of
all the spectacular features and few
of the distinguished guests that were
to haTe honored the occasion were
present.
The exhibition is at Shepherd's Bush.
It is backed by both the Japanese and
English governments and is expected
to result in strengthening their com
mercial relations. The exhibition is
particularly rich in art treasures.
Many valuable paintings were lent by
the late King. The Japanese gov
ernment has apparently ransacked its
temples and storehouses for antiques
and curios. The Japanese display of
manufactured riroducts is the greatest
ever shown by that country.

much discussion. Pages have been
devoted in magazines to finding flaws
in the "lines," the towers and the
general appearance of the house. It
has been called a rich man's folly a
thousand times, but Mr. Clark has
gone ahead pouring his millions into
the home until now his task has
reached an end. Mrs. Clark has been
spending the majority of her time in
Paris, and if the plans of the mining
man do not miscarry she. will arrive

active part in the social world. But
here a stumbling block may await the
man of millions and his wife, for the

YOUNG WIFE
PLEADS FOR
HER HO
Son of Vassar Professor Lied
About His Age to Get Mar
triage License.
WThen Deputy Sheriff Charles John
son, in the Criminal Superior Court,
yesterday morning, cried out that the
bond of L. Saxpn Griggs of Pough
keepsie, N. Y was called there was
no comment. His bondsman, John C.
Griggs, also of Poughkeepsie went his
security for $500. A forfeit was de
clared. Griggs was charged with per
jury. He is the son of John C. Griggs,
of Poughkeepsie, N. Y., professor of
Music at Vassar College. A short
time ago he drove away from his
home town to Danbury, with pretty
Helen McLean, a stildent at the col
lege. They went to the office ot the
registrar of vital statistics, for a mar
riage license. To the clerk, young
Griggs stated that he was 21 years
of age, when as a matter of fact he
is but 18. They were united. A few
days later, young Griggs was arrested
in Terrytown where he had obtained
employment, charged with perjury. He
did not deny the charge and was
bound over to the Criminal Court.
In the mean while, the young Mrs.
Griggs wrote to J. Moss Ives, prose
cuting attorney for Danbury, asking
that he do everything in his power
to save her husband. The touching
appeal of the young wife is as fol
lows: "This morning my mother spoke to
me of a letter which my father had
received from you. In it you spoke
of the approaching trial of my hus
band. I realize now that perjury is
a grave and serious offense, but 1 as
sure you. sir, that when we swore to
false ages, neither of ue realized the
seriousness of the crime. We did know
that it was a wrong and that punish
ment might follow, but we were so
flushed with the excitement of the mo
ment that we scarcely thought. I
realize, sir. that all this Is a poor ex
cuse, in fact no excuse at all, but only
a better reminder that we should be
punished and set up as an example of
others. '
"But, sir, I do ask you, beg of you,
to use your influence in the coming
trial to make the punishment of my
husband as slight as possible. I know,
sir, that neither of us deserve it. We
realize what we have done. But if he
is punished (and I understand the pun
ishment is ten years imprisonment) it
means a great, heavy sorrow not only
in our lives, but in all those dear to
us. It means the blasting of all our
hopes, ambitions and aims.
"Oh, sir, would you do all you can,
conscientiously, so that Leverett will
get off as easily as possible. We are
two sadder, wiser people.
"Believe me. sir, it is hard for me
to write this, and X beg that in pre
suming to do this, you will not think
me insolent, but consider me desper
ate, all anxious and grieved. Might
I hope for some reply, that I may not
remain in such terrible suspense.
"Yours very truly, Helen McLean
Griggs, 9 Barclay street. Poughkeep
sie, N. Y."
"No free transportation or gratuities
of any kind will be permitted. The
responsibility of appointment will be
placed with the Governor. The new
bill will attack unused charters, the
discussion showing that much hard
ship and wrong have resulted from
companies getting charters merely for
sale.
"The appeal clause provided by the
legislative committee's bill was pre
ferred to the appeal clause drawn for
the Bridgeport bill by Judge Baldwin
as being mere simple and direct. The
provision of the Bridgeport bill re
garding employers' liability and the
safety of employes was heartily en
dorsed. "The Bridgeport delegation explain
ed that it had no desire to have its
bill presented to the Legislature as the
Bridgeport bill, but simply offered it
to the State Association to be used in
getting up a bill.
"Representative G. B. Chandler paid
a tribute to the enterprise of the
Bridgeport association in starting the
work early and getting something def
inite. He also praised Mr. Vincent
and his associates."
HUSBAND NEVER
SOBER AND WIFE
GETS A DIVORCE
"He drank like a fish" declared Er
nest Bartold of Darien in speaking of
the characteristics of one Lucien B.
Bogardus, the scion of a respectable
family of South Norwalk. JSogardus
was the defendant in a suit brought
by Phebe A. Bogardus, 338 Lafayette
Street, this city, employed with the G.
C. Batcheller Co., heard by Judge
Curtis in the Civil Superior Court yes
terday. The court decided that Mrs.
Bogardus is entitled to a decree and
to a change of name, to Phebe A.
Kearns.
Mrs. Bogardus told the court that
she married in New York Dec. 21, 1907.
Bogardus soon developed a desire for
drink, often, while intoxicated he
would strike his wife and choke her.
Mrs. Bogardus said that she was often
ashamed to leave her home, because
of blackened eyes.
Mrs. George Taylor said that she
called on Mrs. Bogardus, one after
noon. He struck his wife and choked
her. Bogardus is a hatter by trade.
He was a fireman in the South Nor
walk fire department, but was drop
ped. John Brown, of Broad street,
this cit told the court he never saw
Bogardus sober. He told Brown that
when he got a cent he could not re
sist the temptation to drink. Mrs.
Gippie Barthold, a sister of the plain
tiff, said, "I never saw Luce but his
breath smelled of liquor."
