THOSE PROMINENT IN PRODUCTION OF Y. W. C. A. PLAY, “EGYPTIAN PRINCESS” \ ' i ’ v-—r~ jy/?A’/?//xrG!r<=>rrj HAVE RESENTED RIVAL’S WOOING Court Says Howard Greims Showed Lack of Sense i of Honor. TRENTON, May 17.—Although find ing that Mrs. Jennie E. S. Greims, of East Orange, \vu milty of miscon duct, Vice-Chancellor Stevens, in an opinion filed in the Court of Chancery, has refused to grant a decree of divorce to her husband, Howard K. Grehns. The divorce is refused on the ground that the husband had knowledge of his wife’s misconduct and continued to live witli her after he had knowl edge of his wife's wrong-doings with David Young, Jr. in his opinion the vice-chancellor intimates that the hus band tolerated the actions of Young and his wife because the husband be lieved it would be to his advantage in a business way, as the husband was being employed by a trolley company in York, Pa., while Young was the superintendent. In his opinion. Vice-Chancellor .Ste vens says that Greims had more than a mere moral conviction of his wife’s guilt, and that by continuing to livj With her after having obtained con vincing evidence of her misconduct he barred his right to a decree of divorce. In concluding his opinion, the vice chancellor says: “The evidence, l re gret to say, does not indicate that Mr. Greims possessed any very nice sense of honor. The day after he had read Young's letter, Instead of showing re sentment, he, as he himself admits, played cards with him. “He knew Young's character and what he I. 1 writt n. and yet when the two families had taken up their residence in East Orange, he told his wife—prob ably b- ause he thought Young's ac quaintance from a business standpoint to be of advantage to him—to treat him Ilka a prince. "Under these circumstances the fact that he did not leave sooner is not of itself of r.iuch weight. The defendant throughout denied her guilt. If the petitioner had believed her be could not be charged with condonation. But i think the weight of the evidence is that he believed her guilty.” COPS SAY HE SHOT AT THEM AS THEY LEFT CAFE.

ACROBATIC FEAT SAVES BOY FROM DEATH BY TRAIN Willie Hoppe, 5 Years Old. of Harrison, Turns Somersault in Leap for Life. With an express train bearing down on him at a high rate of speed on tho Lackawanna railroad in Harrison, Willie Hoppe, 0 years old. turned a somersault, landing out of harm’s way only by Inches. When the train had passed the boy climbed up the em bankment and continued bis journey to the Harrison depot and told the people there that ho was glad his big "brud der" had made an acrobut of him. Willie lives at 131 Harrison avenue, ' Harrison. He was walking along the track Into yesterday afternoon on the way to his home. Just as ho started to cross the bridge over Warren street there was a Bcreech from a whistle of tho engine of a truin that leaves Newark at 5:30 p. in., and makes /.o more stops until Hoboken Is re&ehed. Tho engineer, with one hand, kept tho whistle lever tightly down and v.dth his other hand shut off the speed and threw on his reverse brakes. The train passengers shaken In the cars by the reversing of tho speed peered from the windows. The lad was directly in the path of the train and la seemed doomed. He suddenly reulijsed where he was and In a second was flying through the uir. Station Master Joseph F. Lynch witnessed the feat. The engineer stopped his train. Ha thought the boy had been struck, but wus glad to learn thut such was not the case.' Picking himself up, Willie resumed his walk along the tracks. He told the people at the station he did not think much of his feat. ‘‘1 hud to do it," he said, ‘‘or else be runned over." He made one request and that was that no one at the sta tion tell his mama. RUSH TO STREET IN "NIGHTIES”'US BOMB EXPLODES NEW YORK, May 17.—The heart of the hotel district had another early morning bomb explosion today. The explosion occurred in front of the house of Hymle Rosenthal in West Forty-fourth street, near Broadway, and shattered several windows without hurting anybody, but It caused such consternation among the sleepers in the big hotels that cluster In this neighbor hood that the police reserves had to be called out to quiet the excitement. , Out of the new Hotel Rector, the Astor, the Royal, the Gerard and a score of others tn the neighborhood came terror-stricken guests who did I , not know that the explosion was mere- i ly an incident of a war among gam blers an.', other members of the under world, which has been going on with ; occasional murderous explosions and shootings for several months. The ho tel people thought there had been an earthquake or a great disaster. Big Crowds Gathered. They piled into Forty-fourth, Forty- | fifth, Forty-third streets and Broad way in bathrobes, kimonos, pajamas and even less co: lete attire. They were joined by hundreds of all-night people from nearby Tenderloin resorts. It was twenty minutes before Cap tain McNally, of the West Forty-sev enth street stat'on, could get to the spot with the reserves. The people at . first refused to pay any attention to the police. The thinly clad hotel lodg ers couldn’t understand what tile great i crash was all about. They could not believe that the gamblers’ war explanation was reason able—not In New York in this year of grace. In a dated, nervous way they were afraid to go back to their bods. FORTY 1IAI.C. A.

A now sot of plana for the alteration of the office building at 15R Market street, which W. Rogge la desirous of converting Into a hotel, have been filed with Superintendent O’Rourke, and. like the first, will be rejected. The ■ present plans call for the flre-proofllng i of the floors at a cost of 110,000, but i according to the. superintendent they do not meet with the requirements of the law. Mr. O'Rourke declares that the walla as well aa the floors will have to he fire-proof before ho can legally puss the plans. Tho cost of this, , as estimated some time ago, would he about 125,000 instead of 110,000. The original plana were rejected be cauae of the fact that the building code requires that all buildings more than four stories high must be tire-proof. The building in question is six stories high and not of fire-proof construction. An appeal was taken to the Common Council committee, who Inspected the building and sustained the superin tendent. It was also decided to amend the ordinance with regard to giving tho committee the right to override the decision of Mr. O’Rourke In such im portant matters and also to curtail COAL! COAL! EVERY W HE RE NOT A CHUNK TO BURN! Millions of Tons Near, Must Send 1,600 Miles for Fuel. SORDOVA, Alaska, May 17—Within about thirty miles of millions of tons of coal the United States cruiser Uuf falo lies here with empty bunkers, practically helpless for want of fuel. * It is expected here that the govern - ment will send a collier from the Puget Bound nev, yard, about 1,660 miles, with coal. Efforts to secure a supply in Alaska waters proved un availing. The cruiser sailed from San Fran cisco to establish wireless telegraph stations In Alitalia. The Bering river coal fields nearby I cannot lie touched until title to these : fields, claimed by private individuals, I is decided. the power or the superintendent by eliminating the clause which gives him discretionary power In some instances. Although it was agreed to pas* the amendments with others at the last meeting of the Common Council, the committee for some reason or other changed its mind at the last minute and decided to hold up the matter for further consideration. Mr. O’Rourke said today that before the plans would be approved by hint they will have to meet the requirements of the code in every way. He declared that the walls must be as thoroughly tire proof as the floors, and thnt he did not consider that the fire-proofing of the floors only would make Iho building fire-proof.
