ONLY ADMIRED HIS ACTING
Beauteous Actor Will Himself Give
Deposition Servants and Trades
men Say Mrs. Gould Is Xot
a Drunkard.
NEW YORK. June 23. Counsel for
Katherlr.e Clemmons Gould, who is suing
Howard Gould for separation and J25O.0W
a year alimony, labored Ions and late
today, and It was 11 o'clock tonight when
court adjourned. Tomorrow a deposition
of Dustin Farnum .who has figured so
prominently in the case, will be sub
mitted in Mrs. Gould's behalf.
The testimony submitted and deposi
tions read for Mrs. Gould today and to
night, taken as a whole, cover the re
buttal of all the incidents of the various
motor trips that she is alleged to have
taken fo cities in which Dustin Farnum
was playing. Also they sought to es
tablish that Mrs. Gould drank moderate
ly, principally with her meals; that her
language was never other than what it
should have been: that she saw Farnum
only in the company of others, and that
thers was nothing out of the ordinary in
her attitude toward him.
Nothing Wrong, Says May Robson.
Thirty-six witnesses In rebuttal have
thus far been, called, and it Is expected
that Mrs. Gould will take the stand to
morrow. With the exception of . Mrs.
Sells, who testified during the day, and
the deposition of her daughter Marjorle,
which was read tonight, the testimony
for the most part was that of servants
and employes of various shops. The nar
rative of Miss Sells bore out that of
her mother favoring Mrs. Gould as to her
association with Dustin Farnum and as
to her sobriety.
After this deposition came a corrobo
rative deposition from May Robson, the
actress. In essentials it agreed with
the story of Miss Sells. The actress was
not sure about the number of nights
she had slept in Mrs. Gould's room, blut
she was positive that .she had used one
of the twin beds in Mrs. Gould's bed
room. "Have you ever observed any Improper
relations between Mr. Farnum and Mrs.
Gould?" the actress was asked.
"No."
"Did you ever see Mr. Farnum embrace
Mrs. Gould?"
"No," Miss Robson replied.
Over $20,000 a Tear for Gowns.
Edward Rouman, who said his business
was dressmaking, testified that he was
employed by Mrs. Osborne, and had
talked with Mrs. Gould frequently when
she came to try on her gowns. He had
never noticed any words or conduct on
her part which would indicate she was
under the influence of intoxicants. In
cross-examination the witness said Mrs.
Gould's account at Mrs. Osborne's in 1906
would amount to more than $30,000.
Mrs. Elisha W. Sells, an intimate friend
of Mrs. Gould, who was a guest at the
Gould estates and on the yacht Niagara
many times since 1901 testified she had
never seen Mrs. Gould intoxicated or
boisterous and abusive in her language to
the servants. Mr. hearn took the wit
ness over the various cruises on the Niag
ara In 1302 and 1JW8, on which occasions
the witness was Mrs. Gould's guest. They
visited Ormond Beach and Palm Beach in
'.".-. and Mrs. Sells testified that the
plaintiff had always conducted herself in
a proper manner.
Mr. Shearn asked the witness par
ticularly about a visit Mrs. Gould paid
to the Sells country place at Newcastle,
in June, 1905. when she drove the party
back to New Tork. Mrs. Sells said they
stopped for lunch and relays of horses
on the way to New Tork. and that Mrs.
Gould did not drink any liquor and
had not been drinking before they
started.
May liobson, Not Farnum, Guest.
"When did Mrs. Gould first talk to you
about oustin Farnum?" Mr. Shearn asked
Mrs. Sells.
"I don't remember."
"As a matter of fact. Mrs. Gould never
made a confidant - of you in regard - to
Farnum, did she?" asked Mr. Nicoll.
"Well, she talked very freely to me,"
said the witness.
"Did she say he was a handsome man?"
"No.-
"Did she say he was a fine actor?"
"Why. she said he was a good actor,
and had a future. She said if she re
turned to the stage she would like to be
associated with Farnum."
Mrs. Sells' maid contradicted the testi
mony of some of the servants at Castle
Gould, who testified that Mrs. Gould was
intoxicated on various occasions. The
maid said that May Robson, the actress,
was with Mrs. Gould at the hotel and
spent the night In her apartments. She
saw no man there, she said. This was
when the defense contended Farnum vis
ited Mrs. Gould.
The maid testified In regard to the In
cident at Blue Gap farm, at Lynchburg,
where the carpenter. Trotter, testified he
saw Mrs. Gould lying before the door in
the dining-room intoxicated.
Collapses After Drinking Coffee.
The witness said she was In the dining
room where Mrs. Gould fell from her
chair to the floor. Just after she had
finished a cup of coffee at the meal. The
maid said she was frightened and ran to
Mrs. Gould and tried to revive her. Mrs.
Gould's face was discolored and she was
unconscious. When she regained con
sciousness she was taken to her room.
Mr. Shenrn asked If Mrs. Gould had
said anything to the maid then about the
carpenter. Trotter, and what she believed
he had done.
The maid said Mrs. Gould did say
something about Trotter, but the witness
was "not allowed, on Mr. Nicoll's objec
tion, to say what it was.
When Trotter was on the witness stand
Mr. Shearn asked him if Mrs. Gould
had not accused him of putting poison
In her coffee at Blue Gap farm.
The maid testified that at the Belle-vue-Stratford.
in Philadelphia. Mrs.
Gould. Miss Robson. Mr. Farnum and
Mrs. Sells had a party in Mrs. Gould's
room one night, and the following night
Farnum came to the apartments about
11 o'clock and took the ladles out. Miss
Robson hud remained with Mrs. Gould
overnight on these two occasions.
Rev. Patrick J. Perry, who was the
priest of the Catholic church In Port
V ashlngton from 1901 to 190S, testified that
Mrs. G?uld frequently called on him at
tlie rectory In regard to works of ehar-
ty In the community. He was well ac
quainted with her. he said, and never
had seen her under the influence of
liquor or heard her use indelicate lan
Siiage. Louis Moratelll. a chef employed by the
Goulds testiried that he had never seen
Mrs. Gould intoxicated . nor heard her
wear at the servants. He denied that

June 22, 1909.
Gentlemen: I can hardly ex
press to you in words the delight
I experience when I play your
piano. In Europe I have played
such instruments as Bechstein.
Bluthner and Pleyol, and in Amer
ica the three or four makes that
can really lay claim to be the
pianos for an artist, but not one
of all these has so absolutely satis
fied me as yours.
The singing and carrying possi
bilities of your piano are only lim
ited by the performer himself. The
evenness of the touch is such that
if the most artistic effect is not
produced, only the plaver is to
blame. The effect of the "Ten
sion Resonator" in your piano is
so wonderful that it seems to me
that artistic playing on a Mason
& Hamlin will not demand any
special effort from a true musi
cian. From the grand I have bought
of you, I anticipate all the joy and
pleasure an ideal instrument can
give to an artist. Very truly
yours,
ARTHUR VON JESSEN.
Bare Lamp Touches Off Pocket of
Gas, and Report That Follows
Brings Weeping Women to
Mouth of Big Pit.
WEHRUM, Pa., June 23. As the result
of an explosion of gas in mine No. 4 of
the Lackawanna Coal & Coke Company
early today, IT miners were killed and
16 injured. With the exception of one.
those killed were foreigners. With few
exceptions the injured were Americans.
Inspector Joseph Williams with a party
entered the mine today to ascertain if
there were any more victims. Superin
tendent A. M. Johns stated that while
the mine has always been regarded as
non-gaseous, the explosion was caused by
a miner's open lamp igniting a pocket of
gas.
Flash Fires Mine.
The mine is burning fiercely In sev
eral places and deadly black damp is
pourinp from the mouth, effectually
preventing- systematic rescue work.
Large quantities of oxygen and many
oxygen tanks have been requested from
the Cambria Steel Company of Johns
town, Pa, and the United States Gov
ernment mining aad testing station at
Pittsburg.
The scenes about the mine this after
noon are pathetic. Relatives and friends
of the victims are hysterically weeping
and are greatly retarding the work of
rescue.
Three men, seriously burned, succeeded
in reaching the surface. They, said that
following the explosion there "seemed to
be a flash and then all was darkness.
Calls for help and groans were heard
by them as they made their way to the
entrance., staggering over the bodies of
comrades, who had fallen with the first
shock. -
Women in Hysterics.
As soon as It was known an accident
had occurred., the greatest excitement
prevailed, both at the mine and In the
little hamlet, a short distance away.
Relatives rushed to the mouth of the
mine. A number of the foreign women,
screaming and crying, tried to rush Into
the shaft.
The company officials immediately en
gaged the services of all the men they
could find and the work of restraining
the hysterical relatives was undertaken.
In the meantime calls for help were
quickly sent throughout the surrounding
country to reach the unfortunates In the
mine. Work was pushed forward rapidly.

Extension of Strike on July

'HONOLULU, June 23. The work of
getting a jury for the trial of the first
of the several conspiracy charges against
M. Makino and other- leaders of the
strike of Japanese plantation laborers,
which began yesterday before Judge John
T. Bolt, of the First Circuit Court, has
been rendered difficult by the court's
ruling, which disqualifies any talesman
who holds stock in any sugar plantation
or who is related to any person owning
such stock. This ruling disfranchises
many, as the stock of the sugar com
panies Is widely distributed.

Included among those confiscated. Strike
leaders repeated today predictions that
July 1 would see the walkout of the Jap
anese spread to other plantations as yet
unaffected. If the owners had not yielded
to the demands of their wages before
that time.
M. Makino today asked Consul-General
Uyeno to Intercede with the planters on
behalf of the strikers. Makino asked that
an Interview for himself and assistants be
arranged with the planters, but Uyeno
declined to take any steps in the mat
ter. The plantation-owners so far have re
fused to recognize Makino or the Higher
Wage Association, desiring only to deal
with the laborers themselves. Bo'th sides
are firm. Makino says the strikers are
urging him to cause all of the Japanese
on the Islands to strike, but that he is
opposing such a move, as it would bo
ruinous to the main industry of Hawaii
and cause a loss of millions of dollars to
the people.
