Mrs. Cress at One Time Preferred Charge of
Abduction Against Her Step-Son After
Scene at Jersey City Station.
The New York World of Monday
the following: story concerning
the suit for divorce and alimony of
Mrs May Nelson Oress against G. V,
Oress, formerly of Atlanta, but now of
Somerville, N. J.:
The social set of Somerville, N. J„
thrown Into excitement yesterday
«hen It was learned that George V,
area, of New York and Atlanta, Ga..
capitalist, had been sued for divorce
^Jlr'oress’ who la a lumber merchant,
.ooeared at Somerville a year ngo and
bought the fine old P. T. Norton es
tate which dates back to the revolu
tion' It was commonly supposed that
h. waa a widower. He paid *30,000
for the country place and since living
th.re has won a reputation for gener
osity once taking all his neighbors, to
the number of nearly a hundred, to
New York to attend a performance at
^oreee^hM "stocked the big farm,
which Is near the James H. Dulto place,
with blooded stock. Ho also owns two
automobiles. Somerville society has
tried particularly to Inveigle the new-
comer Into attending social functions,
but he has shown considerable ret
icence, Matrons with marriageable
daughters understood yesterday some
thing of hla dislike for social life.
Of an old Southern family, himself,
his fi--t wife, who died about 25 years
nan was a Southerner. For his second
wife he married a school teacher of
Indianapolis, Ind., Miss May Nelson. In
Mav i*82. She Is a native of New
York Ills private secretary, who Is
managing the form In his absence in
the South, said yesterday that Mr-
Gress had often said that he married
his first wife for love, and his second
wife for beauty.
ftv his first wife he had two eone,
who arc prominent Southern business
men today. Morgan Gress Is a lumber
merchant, managing his father's Jack
sonville. Fla, branch, and Hart Gress
manages the Arm’s Hartseaae, Ga„
mills. Both are well known In New
York and live with their father when
here at the Hotel York.
Tastes Were Not 8imilar.
The second wife bore one daughter.
May, who died two years ago In At
lanta. Mr. Gress’ lumber business at
Heartsease, Ga., nourished In a re
markable manner. In the little com
munity he established a luxurious
home for hla wife and three children.
Mrs. Gress disliked country life and
epent much time In Atlanta, living at
the Hotel Majestic. She worshipped
her little girl, May, and as long ago
as Julv, 1807, this child was a source
of trouble In the family. ,
In that month Mrs. Gress, tiring of
Atlanta life and the humdrum of the
Georgia forests, at Heartsease, came
North to visit the family of Dr. Van
Buren Young, at Garrleon'e-on-the-
Hudson. Dr. Young had a city house
at No. 108 West Seventy-fifth street.
When Mr. Oress learned that his
wife and daughter were at Garrison's,
he came North with his son, Morgan,
and requested his. wife to return homo
with her daughter at once. She .re
fused, whereupon a scene followed in
the Pennsylvania railroad^ station In
at midnight with his step-sister, .May,
and took a compartment In the South
ern express. A few minutes later Mrs.
Gress and several friends rushed Id
with a detective and took them off the
train. A charge of abduction was pre
ferred against the young man In the
police court the next morning. His
father defended him, saying that he
had given the little girl Into his Son’s
keeping to take her home.
The court discharged Morgan Gress,
whereupon Mr. and Mrs. Gress patch
ed their differences and all went home.
- Two years ago Miss May Gress, who
was then 18 years old, was to make
hor debut In Atlanta society. Her
dresses had all been made, she was
declared the prettiest girl coming out
that winter In the South, and her am
bitious mother was happy. The day
before her coming out party the girl
went to her dentists, blood poisoning
set In from a defective tooth, and she
died suddenly the very hour her debut
was to take place.
It was a sad blow to both parents,
but It did not reconcile their differ
ences. Mrs. Gress continued to live a
great deal of the time In Atlanta and
New York, and Mr. Gress spent his
time at hts lumber mills at Hartsease
and In the lumber district in Man
hattan.
Wife's 8ult for Divorce.
On August 24 last Mrs. Gress filed a
Bull In the superior court of Fulton
county, Georgia, for a divorce. If It
be necessary she says the Is prepared
to name corespondents. She prays that
she be granted *50,000 permanent ali
mony and *200 per month temporary
alimony.
While the suit was Aled some weeks
ro, It was not given out till last week,
tie wife alleges that her husband Is
worth 2100,000. She says In her com
plaint that because of her husband’s
acts of InAdellty she has lived away
from him since January, 1805.
She also charges that on August 1
last Mr. Gress, anticipating a suit for
divorce, deposited In the Fourth Na
tional Bank of Georgia *20,000, which
sum was to be paid to her under cer
tain conditions, these being that she
should obtain a divorce within the year,
and lliat Samuel D. Hewlett, attorney,
should certify to Mr. Gress that all her
debts had been paid.
She alleges that these conditions are
unreasonable as she cannot foretell
whether a divorce will be granted her
or whether Mr. Hewlett, not being her
attorney now, will certify as to her
debts.

court, of Fulton county, Georgia, grant-

LABORING CLASS TOASTED
BY BRYAN IN SPEECH
The Bijou Opens.
The flfth season of the Bijou opened
Monday nfternoon with a Labor day
matinee and was marked by an au
dience which Ailed every seat. At the
Slonilay night performance standing
room was sold to many late comers,
amt every nook from pit to gallery was
filled with a noisy, cheering crowd.
•Mr. Wells made a wise selection
when he chose Haverly’s 5flnatrels for
■the opening bill. Nothing pleases so
many different kinds • of people as a
minstrel show. There Is usually good
slnslmt for music lovers, plain Jokes
for the fun seeker, bright lights and
danclnx for everybody. Haverly’s has
them all In plentiful proportion. That
It pleased the crowd W'as evident in the
applause which swept the house at
every song, the recalls which forced
the favorites hack to the curtain If
only for a parting bow.
The opening scene, In which a great
watermelon opens and exposes Its
crimson core Ailed with minstrels In
evening dress and black stockings, Is a
happy thought. The fun begins at the
beginning and keeps on. The bill fol
lows the tinea of the old-time minstrel
more than most of the companies. Two
acrobats, two musical comedians and a
pair of athletes, all excellent of their
class, appear In the olio, but the rest
sre all plain black-faced negroes, with
food songs and the favorite Jokes
which all of you know and like.
wily Heard made the greatest Indi
vidual hit of the evening with his song,
■Id rather He on the Outside A-Look-
Jng In Than on the Inside A-Lookllt'
[hit,’’ and Inter In his monologue before
the curtain.
The staging and costuming of the
production la not gorgeous, but pleas-
ng. and the chorus singing Is excel-
, n '- K thn manager would prune a
feu of the broader Jokes, which are
"sully In keeping with the Bijou stand-
*rd, he would Improve that portion of
the program.
The engagement Is for the week, with
matinees Tueaday, Thursday and Sat-
show. "Cute" Is used to describe him
by those who have that word In their
vocabularies.
Johnson and Hardy, who sing comic
songs rather comically, got their share
of the applause. In fact, they received
an encore—something no one else got.
Miss Roattlno, of the Roattlno and
Stevens team, Is a very clever dancer.
Mias Stevens supports her with songs
to suit the dances.
The Banks.Breseale duo consists of
two women who play music, which un-
doubtedly demonstrates no mean abil
ity, but doesn't catch with the crowd,
One Is nn expert with the cornet, the
other with the violin.
.Mildred Flora, comedienne and
slack wire performer, lacked mostly ap
plause to make her net good. The cold
ness of the audience, however, made
most of her Jokes seem Hatter tljan
they were.
The enmeragraph, which, by the way,
was the second feature on the bill, In
stead of the last, ns usual, did Its part
to "amuse, Instruct and entertain.
Tim Murphy Coming.
Tim Murphy's revival of his former
success in "Old Innocence" Is of In
terest to all lovers of the gentle and
reHned In comedy, for this comedy,
viewed with tenderness and truth, Is
an Ideal story wherein no moral Is
lost. It is one of the most beautiful
stories Imaginable and was unques
tionably one of 51 r. Murphy’s great
est successes.
The revival of a former euccess by
this versatile artist seemingly means
the presentation again of a comedy that
has met with the unbounded approval
of all theatergoers.
Tim 5lurphy’s engagement will be
for Friday and Saturday nights with
matinee Saturday afternoon.
OELRICHS’ FORTUNE
IS ABOUT $1,000,000
By Private Leased Wire.
New York, Sept. 4.—Funeral services
over Herman Oelrlchs, who died sud
denly at sea aboard the Kaiser Wil
helm Der Grosse, will be held tomorrow
at the home of his widow, No. 2 East
Fifty-seventh street. The Interment
will be at Woodlawn. 5Irs. Oelrlchs,
her sister, Mrs. Fair, and Herman Oel-
richs, Jr., spent last night at the
Hotel Belmont, awaiting, the arrival of
the steamer.
It Is not believed that Mr. Oelrlchs’
estate will amount to more than *1,000,-
000, as his losses from the San Fran
cisco disaster were great. 51 rs. Oel
rlchs' owns "Roaecllff," the home at
Newport, valued at *2,000,000. In view
of the Ananrlal losses she sustained by
the earthquake she hae curtailed her
expenses and did not open "Rosecllff”
this season.

Detroit, Sept. 4.—In hts speech last
night In the Light Guard Armory, Wil
liam Jennings Bryan condemned tho
railroads as a corrupt Influence In pol
itics and advocated his previously of
fered theory of flrst trying as an ex
periment a system of dual government
control, the state owning the state
lines and the federal government own
ing the, Interstate lines, giving a
chance for the avoidance of centraliza
tion and building up the power of the
state."
Regarding the Republican 'party and
Roosevelt, Mr. Byron said: ' "
"Ten years ngo the Republican par
ty came Into power and has held ab
solute control ever since. What
strikes me as the most astonishing ex
ample of Republican decadence Is that,
whllo at the outset of that ten years
Republicans seemed to believe that
any number of men from their ranks
might be nominated for the presidency,
now they admit that there Is only one
man who, If nominated, would stand
any chance of election, and that man
Is our president." •
' At the fair grounds yesterday Mr.
Bryan made a Labor Day speech In
which he said:
"1 return to my home more than ever
believing In the dignity of labor and
the Importance of crystallizing a senti
ment among the people which makes
them respect more the man who tolls
than the one who Idles In society, I
trust we shall never have In this coun
try a leisure class, If by that we mean
wo see nothing to do. I cannot con
ceive any place In a well regulated
society for men or women who have
nothing to do."
He left for Chicago last night.

BOY BUILDING.
Right Food Makes Fine Boys.
Many people have questioned the
truthfuness of the statement that the
brain can be really nourished and built
up from some particular kind of food.
Experience Is better than any kind of
theory.
The wife of a prominent legislator In
Kentucky says: "A woman of my nc
qualntnnce was In a badly run down
condition at the time she became
mother, nml at three months of age
tho. child was s mite of humanity plti
ful to look upon, with no more brain
development than a monkey.
About the time I apeak of when the
child was three months old the mother
began feeding him Grape-Nuts.
In ten days It was plain that a
chnngf was taking place and tn a few
weeks the boy became rosy, healthy
and rounded out.
He is now 5 years old and his food
this entire time has been Grape-Nuts
and cream. He seldom ever takes any
other kind of food.
It Is u splendid Illustration of the
fact that selected food can produce
results, for this boy ts perfectly form
ed, has a beautiful body and arms and
legs of a young athlete, while his head
and brain development appears perfect,
and he ts as bright and intelligent as
can be.
”1 cannot comprehend a better Illus
tration of the truth of the claim made
for Grape-Nuts, that It ts a brain nnd
body builder." Name given by Postuni

It keeps the men nt work. It la good
practice for everybody. During tho
late war the supply ships just would
not read the elgnals. They could not
be made to. They ppparently did not
know one signal from another.
The actunl coat of this review will
bo Just about the cost of the powder
burned; that Is to say, about 1*00 for
each ship. The ships are In cornmls
slon all the time and coat no more
during the review than on other days.”

Chattanooga, Sept. 4.-—Ex-Shertff W.
P. Hays failed to taka charge of the
office ot county court clerk yeeterday,
and Ab C. Carroll was not Inducted
Into the office of county register. They
were enjoined from so doing.
5tr. Hays was elected over his oppo
nent, J. N. McCutcheon, a Democrat,
by twelve votes. Mr. McCutcheon con
tested the election on the ground of
alleged fraud In the Sixth ward, charg
ing that, through collusion and con
spiracy, the officers of the election In
that ward sought to elect\5Ir. Hays
and Sir. Carroll by fraud. While Mr.
McCutcheon has filed contest papers,
\Y. J. Springfield, who waa defeated
for county register, has also given no
tice that he will- contest the election
of Mr. Carroll. Samuel Hixson, how
ever, sought to enjoin Mr. Carroll from
being Inducted Into office on the
ground that Sir. Carroll had drawn
written agreements with persons,
promising to give them a Job If elected,
which, It Is charged, disqualifies Car-
roll, and as a result Hixson will hold
over until the matter Is settled.
