Figures In a Negative Capacity. NEW YORK, May *10.—Cablegrams from London report that Mrs. Ida Von Clausen is not to marry Fred erick Davis, Jr., whose family are among the prominent persons of Great Britain. The match had been publicly announced and the denial was of gen eral interest. It is the first time in her unusually busy career that Mrs. Von Ciaussen has ever figured in the news in a neg ative capacity. Heretofore she has been a live, active figure in the doing of something, and there is no woman of this generation who has created so much interest in her earnest efforts to see ’ that no stagnation ever took place in her immediate neighborhood. Mrs. Von Clauasen is the daughter of Adolph Ciaussen (minus the "von’.’), a merchant. Her grandfather was Mike Byrnes, once a New York con tractor, who left a comfortable for tune. From it Mrs. Ciaussen holds an interest amounting to one-eighth in the Hotel Lorraine that pays her about $C,000 a year. From this beginning she has caused cyclonic disturbances* at the court of a Kiftg. been a thorn in the 1 side of a President of the United States, a com bative litigant in courts, the assail ant of bank officers in a knockdown fight-, and has generally commanded the center of the stage whenever it pleased her to start something. As Ida Ciaussen she married Dr. William Francis Honan. The wedding took place in 1899, and one child, a little girl, was bom to the couple. She got a South Dakota divorce in 1905, and shortly after that event went abroad. It. was during the sum mer that a naval officer introduced the tall, striking-looking woman to old King Oscar, of Sweden. The in troduction was at a lawn fete, and the King told her to drop in and see him any old time she happened to be in his kingdom. She happened to be along that way in 1907, and went over to Minister Charles H. Graves’s house in Copen hagen for the purpose of having him present her at court. In the mean time she had prefixed t,h£ tilth “Counters” to her name and added the link of “von” on the strength of the idea that she belonged to a noble famih of Germany Graves was not satisfied with her credentials and >de- clined to present her. If regret ever comes to an official at a foreign court Minister Graves probably is entitled to pose a? an expert authority on re She preferred charges, at YVasnin- ton against the Mirry: r. ^ She went in person to the White House when Roqsevelt was President and de manded his removal. The patient buffer, Loeb, was then keeper of the tent door at the White House, and he shunted Mrs. Von Ciaussen off with out allowing her to get at the Presi dent. She came to New York, prepared a complaint addressed to the Supreme Court of the United States, and filed it in all of the newspaper offices in town. In it she named Roosevelt, Minister Graves and his wife, and Robert Bacon, Ambassador to France, as defendants, and she besought the Supreme Court to force some lawyer to represent her. The burden of her complaint was that the officials had Kept her out of society and that the hotels in this country considered her an undesirable citisseness* on account of their activity. Nobody ever paid any attention to the suit, and she took a glass pistol, loaded with perfume, up to Saratoga, wheer the Republi cans were pointing with pride and viewing with alarm in State conven tion in 1911 to oppose anything that .Roo.vovelt wanted. A s he wanted almost everything in sight, she had plenty of * opposing to do, and the papers had a lively lot of gossip about her doings. Trouble in Court. ’About the vamo time she appeared in the Domestic Relations Court to make a tight upon her former hus band, and created such a scene in court that the Judge had a couple of capable policemen eject her vi et armis. She strenuously obpected, and went out in the street, mounted a goods box bnd spoke her mind to a grinning street crowd. The woman is powerful and ath letic. Her arms are like steel, and she is proud of her muscle. When she could not get the officials' of the United States Mortgage & Trust Com pany to see a financial matter in the light that impressed her, she invaded the banking house at 55 Cedar Street, and when the smoke of battle cleared two vice presidents were stretched on the floor, knocked out by punches from hef gobd right. Her troubles were more or less of a minor nature for a time, but she put all of the energy of a gladiator into them.. T-liey recruited in her'being rent to Bloomingdnle as an insane person. She fought this procedure, and Judge Morschauser.- in March. 1912, declared her sane and directed her release. Then she announced that she was to marry a distinguished citizen of another country whose name she declined to give. Following her arrival in London, some week* ago, it was* called that Mr. Davis was the man. first real jolt several days ago. Cobb jumped on his car and said: “I want to apologize to you, George." “What for?” asked George, who had an idea when th" inspector came on board that he was going to be called down for something. “I want you to Bee that lam doing the right thing and am playing the man.” continued Cobb. "What do you mean? What are you apologising to me for?” asked Sut ton. Cobb laughed and said: “Oh, it’s nothing but a little joke. I’ll tell you about it later. ” Then he jumped off the car. Cobb referred to his “little joke” several times after that and Mrs.’ Sutton also appeared to have some sort of secret. Finds Marriage Record. “I became suspicious.'’ said Sutton, “and questioned her about Cobb last Sunday. She owned up. I could hardly believe it, but I took a day off yester day and went to San Rafael. I found at the registrar’s office that Cobb and my wife were married on March 22, 1910. She had given her grandmoth er’s name of Mary Coonan. “I don’t know what made her do It. She says that she don’t know. He per suaded her with his soft words, prom ises of money and fine clothes. She told me he had promised her these things. “It is a Serious case. I don’t want to cause anyone harm, but I want Cobb punished. He knew she was married to me. He knew of the chil dren. Some men would kill him. but I can’t see what good that would do. I have placed the ease in the hands of my attorney and it is puzzling him how to figure it out. I don’t want to do anything to my wife. I want to see Cobb punished, hut I don’t want him hurt Cobb told me he would square it by having the marriage an nulled, but that would be letting him off too easy. Both men have been in the employ of the company more than 15 years. Sutton resides at 2294 Union Street with hlfc wife and twd children, one a boy eight years old and a girl five years. Cobb lives at 2717 Union Str.eet. Thanksgiving eve, 1903, Sutton mar ried Agnes McGuire, who had come to this country from Ireland. They were married at St. frigid's Church in Van Ness Avenue. For the firs: few years life was happy*for the cou ple. As an old friend of Sutton, Cobb was a frequent visitor. through freight trade, mainly meats' and fruits, between the Pacific States and the Canadian prairies. The third transmountain and Brit ish Columbia line will be by way of Edmonton, in the northern competi tive territory. Two practicable pass es remain in the North, the Pine Riv er paes and the Peace River pass. Both would open up fine, productive territory and either would give the Canadian PacifC what it Is ambitious to obtain—easy access to Northern Pacific ports by way of Saskatoon and Edmonton. It is said the completion of these improvements will make the Cana dian Pacific main line 300 miles shorter than that of any other trans continental railway either in Canada or the United States. The Kicking Horse Pass was a historic stumbling block in the path way of the Canadian Pacific Railway, and it was the dominent genius of Sir Donald Mann for railway con struction. together with laborious in vestigations by some of the best en gineers in the world, which enabled the company to penetrate the barrier with the 4 1-2 per cent grade ihat existed for twenty year*. That grade has latelv been reduced to 3 1-2 per cent, and it will be less than 1 per cent when the tunnelling is com pleted. The route will also be short ened by five miles. CAPTAIN LORD TITANIC SCAPEGOAT SAYS PAPER LONDON, May 10.—The May num ber of the Nautical Magazine con tains a defense of Captain Lord, the sklpepr of Leyland liner Californian, who was reprimanded by the British Court inquiry Into the Titanic dis aster for neglecting to answer that vessel’s wireless calls. The periodical maintains that sev eral unidentified vessels were much nearer the Titanic than the Califor nian was. yet no steps were taken to trace them. Captain Lord, it says, did not have the opportunity of de fending himself. "In consequence of the finding of the court. Captain Lord was asked ui resign, and has been without employ ment until recently 'The Board of Trade declined to hoid an inquiry into his conduct when: asked by him to do so after the Titanic inquiry.” WINIPEO, May 10.—A double railway tunel. 16 miles long, the long est In the world by nearly four mile*, is being planned by the Canadian Pa cific Railway. It will pierce the Rocky Mountains through Kicking Horae Pass, link ing Alberta and British Columbia. It will pass under the crest of the Rocky Mountains. Its eastern outlet will be in Alberta, its western in British Columbia. Cost $14,000,000. It is estimated that the tunnel, with nil modern appliances for con- etruction. will cost over $14,000,000 and will take seven years to build. The Canadian Pacific has an even greater plan afoot in the West. For purpose?* of commerce the company proposes practically to eliminate the Rocky Mountains. It is said to be its plan to have no less than three, possibly four, distinct routes from Winnipeg to the Pacific Coast. Two of these routes arc already partially completed; one of them, the present main line. Is done except for tunnel improvement. The line partially built is the Crow’s Nest Road, which, after tra versing the Kootenay district to Nel son, will almost certainly be directed to Portland, are., through the Cas cade Mountains. The object of this line will be to capture the fast ! itiiSt SAN FRANCISCO, May 10.—George E. Sutton, a street car conductor, found out yesterday that his wife, with whom he is living, had been married for three years to his chum, Charles W. Cobb, a street car in spector. But Cobb has apologized. Besides Sutton might lose his job if he gets too peevish about it. Cobb is an inspector on the same line that Sutton is a conductor—the Presidio and Ferries railroad. “Darn it!” said Sutton. “He knew 1 was married to her. What did he want to go and marry her for?” Sutton thinks it is a serious case. Cobb, however, and Mrs. Sutton-Cobb referred to it as “a little joke.” Sut ton had felt vague premonitions that things were not quite right between his wife and Cobb, but he got his Woman W: : oirred Whole World At Kiss at Midnight Wakes 50 Sleepers Outburst of Affection Also Results j in Call 'for Reserves in Quiet and Sleepy Yonkers.
