•Mme. Marie Rappold. who is unable to obtain a divorce, al
though separated from her husband. Dr. Rappold says he still
loves his wife, and wants to protect her by refusing to give her
freedom to marry again.
Husband Says He Wants to
Protect Her. Therefore Re-
fuses Decree.
NEW YORK. July 9.—Marie Ra’—old
the stately Aida of the Metropolitan
Opera Company, has returned from
Philadelphia, where she serenaded the
mayor in the National Saengerfest. in
despair, because her husband. Dr. J. C.
Rappold, a Brooklyn physician, will not
agree to a legal separation.
Dr. Rappold stands considerably more
than six feet in his stocking feet, and
weighs in proportion, and he is no ex
ception to the rule that large bodies
move slowly and stand firmly.
"You can say that 1 am standing
pat.” he said, with no little emphasis
at his office, at No. 750 flushing ave
nue. when asked whether he would con
sent to a divorce or a legal separation.
“What good would' it do if Mme.
Rappold and the tenor Berger are in
love?” he asked with a bit of fire in
his eyes. “She can’t marry him. can
she?” *
"Then you don’t intend to let her be
free ?”
“Why should T. tell me? Would you
step out? I am doing nothing, there
fore. there are no comments to be made.
She may try to do what she will.
That is her affair. But I—well,1 —well, 1 am
standing pat.”
And you knew that he meant i( by
the vigorous manner in which he said
it.
"1 am taking precisely the same po
sition I did six months ago. and there
is no reason why 1 should change it,”
he added.
At that time he said with no little
feeling. “1 am a philosopher in matters
of this kind. Perhaps that is why,
outwardly, I am taking this matter so
calmly. But the separation—after
eighteen years of married life —was
the bitterest blow I ever suffered. I
still love mj' wife and love her dearly.
It is for the reason that I love her
dearly that 1 have her welfare so much
at heart, that I shall never consent to
her obtaining a divorce.”
The Rappolds have <jbeen separated
for some time, the husband explaining
the rift by her lo\e for her art. which
has crushed out her love for him.
Until recently it was believed that
she was heart ftee.
But recently the fine looking tenor
who Gatti-Casazza discovered ar
rived in this country »>me five months
before his season opening, and has been
seen constantly in Mme. Rappold’s com.
pany.
MARIETTA TO PURCHASE
ELECTRICITY FOR CITY
MARIETTA, GA.. July 9—The city
of Marietta will close down its electric
plant, which was recently installed,
and buy power from the Georgia Rail
way and Power Company, which is now
building a transmission line through
Cobb county. L. B. Robeson, a member
of the water and light board, stated
that a contract had been closed with
this company for power for the city,
and that it could be bought cheaper
than the city could make it.
About a year ago Marietta voted a
bond issue of $20,000 for an electric
light plant. This was done, however,
before It was known that lhe power
company would build a line through
this section. The present plant will be
kept in readiness for emergency use.

NIP OF EVIDENCE
Barton Decided "Whisky” Bot
tle Contained Colored Water.
Accused Bootlegger Free.
As everything that glitters is not
gold, also, on the saute principle, ev
erything that looks like whisky is not
whisky, as Policeman Barton today is
frank to admit.
Had the officer been willing to rest
a prosecution merely on appearance,
Will Hunter, a negro he had arrested
for running a blind tiger, would have
been convicted In police court. Know
ing that appearances are oftentimes de
ceptive. he refused to testify that the
contents of a pint of whisky flask was
whisky, despite the fact that the liquid
had the exact color of old red eye and
the bottle was sealed in regulation
style. Attorney Leo Suddeth said his
client. Hunter, was charged with sell
ing whisky, and insisted that Barton
testify positively as to the contents of
the bottle.
Recorder Broyles upheld the attor
ney, and asked the policeman to exer
cise his nostrils. The bottle was open
ed. and the bluecoat took a whiff.
"I’m not certain about it yet—l don’t
think it’s whisky." came from the test
er.
"Then take a drink,” suggested the
court.
As the crowd in the courtroom tit
tered. Barton raised the bottle to his
lips. A look of surprise came over his
face.
"Water,” he exclaimed. “Colored
water.”
Attorney Suddeth smiled significant
ly.
“Case dismissed,” said the recordei',
as he directed Recorder Pro Tern Pres,
ton to call the "next.”

NEGRO BURGLAR
Prisoner Believed To Be Thief
Who Ransacked* Two West
Peachtree Homes.
Ed Reed, a negro, believed to be the
elusive burglar who has been making
a specialty of the fashionable West
Peachtree section, is behind the bars
of tne police station today, after having
been captured twice last night by-
George Henderson, negro butler, in the
home of Herbert 1,. Wiggs. 620 West
Peachtree street.
Henderson discovered the burglar
prying open a rear window in the
Wiggs home, and gave chase when the
marauder fled. The chase continued
for several blocks, but the butler prov
ed the better sprinter and finally
bugged the fugitive. He then aroused
a resident of another West Peachtree
home and asked him to call the police
station. While the man was telephon
ing, the burglar suddenly broke loose
from his captor and again sprinted,
with Henderson in close pursuit.
The burglar again led the chase sot
several blocks, and for the second time
was outclassed. This time, Henderson
held him with the tenacity of a bull
dog and kept him a prisoner until De
tectives Pate and Rosser arrived and
clasped the handcuffs.
Burglar Drops Jimmy.
In his flight, the burglar dropped his
jimmy, which was later found by the
officers.
The Wiggs home was burglarized on
the night of July 4. and a lot of valu
ables stolen. Both jobs are believed to
have been done s by the same person.
The detectives also are satisfied the
prisoner is the same burglar who rob
bed the home of A. P. Coles, cashier of
the Central Bank & Trust Corporation,
565 West Peachtree, on the night of the
Fourth. Mr. and Mrs. Coles were at
their country home near Roswell at the
time. The burglar ransacked every
room in the house, obtaining valuable
jev. els.
Outside of their intrinsic value, the
jewels are particularly prized by the
family as most of them are heirlooms
handed down for generations. Detec
tives Black and Harper, who are inves
tigating this burglary, put Reed
through a close examination today' in
the hope of getting trace of these gems.
