CHICAGO, June 6.-s Mme. Ernes
tine Schumann-Heink's divorce suit
azainst Willilam Rapp, Jr.—her once

max with a Wagnerian crash to-day.
The madame’s lawyers, who had

and apparently pointless depositions
taken in New York, suddenly t:r»gun‘
to reid a satéhel full of letters writ- |
ten by Rapp last summer to .\l:'s.{
Katherine E. Dean, the occupant of
the third corner in his domestic tri
ingle. In the correspondence Rapp
flippantly shortened his wife's hy
phenated name into “Shanks.”
After Mrs. Dean—"Nonnie” was the
pet name almost invariably used by
Rapp in his salutation—had read the
letters, they fell into the hands of a
woman detective, who had obtained
entrance to the Dean-Rapp “affinity
flat” in New York City as a roomer.
The detective, Miss Frances Ash
ton, on the witness stand, in addition
to identiTying the letters, told of
kisses in the dark and nightgown pa
rades in the Dean flat in New York.

Women and Children Among the
Refugees—Captain and Crew
Stick to Ship. :
NEW LONDON, CONN;, June b.—
Seventy-fivé passengers, including a
number of womern and children, were
rescued to-day from the steamer
Northland, which was driven ashore
on Bartlett’s Reef, six miles south
west of here, in a gale last night,
whil> on her way from New York to
Portland, Maine.
The passengers were rescued by the
tug Tasco, which had been summoned
by wireless. Five holes were torn in
thre stranded vt-.=§ol‘s hull by the rocks
and five of her 'compartments were
quickly flooded. The passengers were
forwarded to their destination by rail.
Captain Johnson and members of his
crew refused to leave the steamer,
despite the heavy seas which were
dashing against her.
As soon as the Northland struck,
her wireless operator sent out an “S.
0. 8.” call. The passengers, awakened
by the jar, hurried on deck. With
thoughts of the Empress of Ireland
disaster still fresh in the publie mind,
the officers feared a panic, but the
passengers behaved with calmness.
The wrecking tug soon reached the
stranded ship. The transfer of pas
sengers was at once begun.
Captain Johnson said that the
Northland was proceeding slowiy
when she struck. The point where
the Northland went ashore is known
as The Race, and is the narrowest
point of Long Island Sound.

Disaster $4,500,000
MONTREAL, QUEBEC, June 5.—
The monetary loss in the disaster that
caused the liner Kmpress of Ireland
to sink in the St. Lawrence, with
more than 1,000 men, women and
children, was placed at $4,500,000 to
day/in estimates based on the latest
figures in the possession of the Ca
nadian Pacific Railway. This less was
tabulated as follows: i
< Ship, $2,000,000; general cargo,
$500,060; bullion bars, $2,000,000.
Probably all of the bullion’ can ke
saved, though there is ‘a’ possibi‘.ity
that much of this might be lost if the
ship has to be dynamited.
