OF LONG STANDING
. Mrs. Gress at One Time Preferred Charge of
Abduction Against Her Step-Son After
Scene at Jersey City Station.
The New York '"" orId of Monday
print! the following etory concerning
the «ult for divorce and alimony of
Mr». May Nelson Gress against G. V.
Ores*, formerly of Atlanta, but now of
Somerville, N. J.:
The social set of Somerville, N. J..
vas thrown Into excitement yesterday
When It was learned that George V.
Areis of New York and Atlanta, Gn.,
capitalist, had been sued for divorce
bv his wife.
Mr Gress, who Is a lumber merchant,
anueared at Somerville a year ago and
bought the fine old P. T. Norton es
tate which dates bock to the revolu-
It was commonly supposed that
he was a widower. He paid 130,000
for the country place and since living
there has won a reputation' for gener
osity once taking nil his neighbors, to
the number of nearly a hundred, to
New York to attend a performance at
the Hippodrome.
Gress has stocked the big farm,
which Is near the James B. Duke place,
with blooded stock. He 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 his dlBlIke for social life.
Of an old Southern family, himself,
his first wife, who died nbout 23 years
ago was a Southerner. For nls second
wife he married a school teacher of
Indianapolis, Ind., Miss May Nelson. In
Mac ISS2. She Is a nntlve of Now
York. His private secretory, who Is
managing the fnrm In his absence In
the South, said yesterday that Mu
Gress had often snid that he married
hit first wife for love, and his second
wife for beauty.
By his first wife he had two sons,
who arc prominent Southern business
men todav. Morgan Grcaa Is a lumber
merchant, managing his father's Jack
sonville, Fla., branch, and Hart Gress
manages the firm's Hartsease, Ga„
mills. Both are well known In New
York and live with their father when
here at the Hotel York.
Taites Were Not Similar.
The second wife bore one daughter,
May, who died two years ago In At
lanta. Mr. Gress* lumber business at
Heartsease, Ga., flourished In a re
markable manner. In the little com
munity he established a luxurious
home for his wife and three children.
Mrs. Gress disliked country life and
spent much time In Atlanta, living at
the Hotel Majestic. She worshipped
her little girl, May, and as long ago
as Jutv, 1897, thla child was a source
of trouble In the family.
In that month Mrs. Gress, tiring of
Atlanta life nnd the humdrum of the
Georgia forests, at Heartsease, came
North to visit the family of Dr. Van
Buren Young, at Garrlaon’x-on-the-
Hudson. Dr. Young had a city house
at No. 108 West 8ev*nty-flfth street.
When Mr. Gress learned that his
wife and daughter were at Garrlaon’s,
he came North with his son, Morgan,
and requested hlSr.wlfc to return home
with her daughter at once. She re
fused, whereupon a scene followed In
the Pennsylvania railroad station In
Jersey City.
Young Morgan Gress appeared there
at midnight with bis step-sister, Alay,
and took a compartment In the South
ern express, A few minutes later Mrs.
°r c ' ,B nnd several friends rushed in
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. Hls
father defended him, saying that he
had given the little girl Into hls 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
her 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 wob a sad blow to both parents,
but It did not reconcile their differ
ences. Mrs. Gress continued to live i
great deal of the time In Atlanta and
New York, an a Mr. Gress spent Ills
time at hls 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
suit In the superior court of Fulton
county, Georgia, for a divorce. If It
be necessary she says she Is prepared
to name corespondents. She prays that
she be granted 130,000 permanent ali
mony and |200 per month temporary
alimony.
While the suit was filed some weeks
jo, It was not given out till last week.
Tl\e wife alleges that her husband is
worth 3200,000. She says In her com
plaint that because of her husband’s
acts of Infidelity she has lived away
from him since January, 1903.
She also charges that oh August 1
last Mr. Gress, anticipating a suit for
divorce, deposited In the Fourth Na
tional Bank of Georgia *30,000, which
sum was to be paid to her under cer
tain conditions, these being that she
should obtain a divorce within the year,
and that 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 foretoll
whether a divorce will be granted her
or whether Mr. Hewlett, not being her
attorney now, will certify as to her
debts.
Judge Pendleton, of the superior
court, of Fulton county, Georgia, grant,
ed an order restraining the bank from
paying the *30,000 to Mr. Greas until
hearing la had.
The young woman who has acted a*
Mr. Gress' private secretary for two
year*, said at the country place In
Somerville yesterday that Mr. Gress
had been In the South for a week. She
admitted that he had deposited the
money in the Atlanta bank and that he
was willing hls wife should get a di
vorce as the simplest way out of their
difficulties. Mr. Gress Is well known
os tho man who foutlded the Atlanta
MOO. A traveling circus went to'pieces
there and Mr. Gress bought the whole
menagerie and presented It to the city.
He served one term In the Georgia sen
ate.

POPULAR IN LONDON
THE THEATERS
The Bijou Opens.
The fifth season of the Bijou opened
Monday afternoon with a Labor day
matinee nnd was marked by an au
dience which filled every seat. At ths
Monday night performance standing
room was sold to many late comers,
and every nook from pit to gallery was
filled with a noisy, cheering crowd.
Mr. Wells made a wise selection
when he chose Haverly's Minstrels for
the opening bill. Nothing pleases ao
many different kinds of people as a
minstrel show. There Is usually good
singing for music lovers, plain Jokes
for the fun seeker, bright lights and
dancing for everybody. Haverly’s has
them all In plentiful proportion. That
li pleased the crowd was evident In the
applause which swept the house at
every song, the recalls which forced
the favorites back to the curtain If
only for a parting bow.
The opening scene, In which a great
Watermelon opens and exposes Its
crimson core filled with minstrels In
evening dress and black stockings, I* a
happy thought. The fun begins at the
beginning nnd keeps on. The bill fol
lows the lines of the old-time minstrel
more than moat of the companies. Two
acrobats, two musical comedians and a
pair of athletes, all excellent of their
appear In. the olio, but the rest
are all plain black-faced negroea r wlth
food songs and the favorite Jokes
which all of you know and like.
Billy Beard made the greateat Indi
vidual hit of the evening with hla song,
' I'd rather Be on the Outside A-Look-
Irg In Than on the Inside A-Lookin
Out," and later tn hla monologue before
the curtain.
The staging and costuming of the
production Is not gorgeous, but pleas
es. and the chorus singing la excel-
■'ht. If the manager would prune a
few of the broader Jokes, which are
hardly in keeping with the Bijou stand-
*rd, he would Improve that portion of
the program.
The engagement la for the week, with
matinees Tuesday, Thursday and Sat-
ahow. "Cute" la 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.
Mia* Roattlno, of the Roattlno and
Stevens team, Is a very clever dancer.
Miss Stevens supports her jvlth songs
to suit the dances, i
The Ilanks-Breieale duo consists of
two women who play music, which un
doubtedly demonstrates no mean nbll-
Ity, but doesn’t catch with the crowd.
One Is an expert with the cornet, the
other with the violin.
Mildred Flora, comedienne nnd
alack wire performer, lacked mostly ap
plause to make her act good. The cold
ness of the audience, however, made
moat of her Jokes seem flatter than
they were. |
The cameragraph, which, by the way,
was the second feature on the bill, In
stead of the last, as usual, did Us part
to "amuse, Instruct and entertain."
Tim Murphy Coming.
Tim Murphy's revival of hls former
success In "Old Innocence" Is of In
terest to all lovers of the gentle and
refined in comedy, for this comedy,
viewed with tenderness and truth, Is
an Ideal atory wherein no moral Is
lost. It la one of the most beautiful
■torles Imaginable and was unques
tionably one of Mr. Murphy’s great
eat successes.
The revival of a former success by
this versatile artist seemingly means
the presentation again of a comedy that
has met with the unbounded approval
of all theatergoers.
Tim .Murphy's engagement will be
for Friday nnd Snturday nights with
matinee Saturday afternoon.
Dr. Clement Clay Greene, one of the
best known physicians In Atlanta, died
at the Frederick Apartments on White
hall street at 5:30 Monday afternoon
from a complication of diseases.
Dr. Greene was born October 7. 1857,
and was the son of tho late Judge C. C,
Greene, who was for years connected
with the sheriffs ofllce. Early In life
he determined to become a physician,
and entered the Southern Medical Col
lege, where he graduated. He has been
almost on Invalid for the past eight
years, having been on the operating
table four different times, and only hls
Indomitable will enabled him to keep In
touch with the world, nnd not give
away to hls sufferings.
In 1891 Dr. Green was married to
Miss May Rhodes, of Bay City, Mich.,
who lived only a few years. He Is sur
vived by hls brothers, A. H. Greene,
IV. D. Greene, A. N. Greene, and three
slaters, Miss Lizzie Greene. Mrs. For
rest Adair and Mrs. G. T. Rowland, of
Mount Vernon, N. Y. Besides these
there are a half-sister, Mrs. Will
Brannon, and two half-brothers. For
rest Greene and Hubert Greene, all of
Atlanta.
Dr. Greene a number of years ago
affiliated with the Methodist church,
and when the end came he met It in a
resigned manner, conscious that hls
work was well and faithfully done. Up
until a few hours before hls death ho
was able to exercise hls skill as a phy
sician nnd take the count of hls pulse
anil other things of a like nature.
The fufleral services will be held at
Park Street Methodist Church, In West

Detroit, Sept. 4.—In hls speech last
night In the Light Guard Armory, Wil

fered theory of first 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. Byran said:
"Ten years ago the Republican par
ty came Into power and haa held ab
solute control ever since. What
strikea me as the most astonishing ex
ample of Republican decadence la that
while 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:
"I return to my home more than ever
believing In the dignity of labor and
the Importance of arystalllzlng a senti
ment among the people which makes
them respect more the man who tolls-
than tho 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.’’

BOY BUILDING.
Right Food Makeo Fine Boys,
Many A people have questioned the
truthfuneas 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 seye: "A woman of my ac
qualntance was In a badly run down
condition at the time she became a
mother, nnd at three months of age
the child was n*mlte of humanity piti
ful to look upon, with no more brain
development than a monkey.
About the time I speak of when the
child was three months old the mother
began feeding him Grape-Nuts.
In ten days It was plain that a
change was taking place, and In a few
weeks the boy became rosy, healthy
and rounded out.
He Is now 3 years old and hls food
thla entire time has been Orape-Xuts
and cream. He seldom ever takes any
other kind of food.

fact that selected food can produce
results, for this hoy Is perfectly form

Chattanooga, Sept. 4.—Ex-Sheriff W.
P. Hays failed to take charge of the
office of county court'clerk yesterday,
and Ab C. Carroll was not Inducted
Into the office of county register. They
were enjoined from ao doing.
Mr. Hays was elected over hla oppo
nent, J, N. MeCutcheon, a Democrat,
by twelve votes. Mr. MeCutcheon 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 Mr. Hay*
and Mr. Carroll by fraud. While Mr.
MeCutcheon ha* filed contest papers,
W. J. Springfield, who was 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 Mr. 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.
