Mrs. Howard Gould’s own character witnesses gave “saweiety” women of the gay metropolis a severe Jolt in swearing that Mrs. Gould drank no more than the average society women of the millloniare class, when the evidence was that she had an appetite on her for strong drink that would put to shame a traveling selesman for a wholesale liquoi* t house.

“Cholly” Landis, ex-congresman from the Ninth Indiana district—to the credit of the voters of that district be it said —attended the banquet at Washington a day or two ago given by the ship-subsidy promotors. Cholly always voted for every subsidy that came his way when in congress, and he still has a very friendly feeling for every crowd that Is trying to work your Uncle Samuel.

Poor Mrs. Gould. The court has granted her a separation from her husband, Howard Gould, but instead of $1 40,000 a year alimony she is to have but $36,000, a paltry SIOO per day. And this, too, after she had testified that it cost $40,000 a year for a women to dress decently. She will either have to go looking shabby or cut out some of her favorite beverage, Manhattan cockteils, for which she seems to have had an abnormal appetite. The court was even cruel enough to intimate that if she returned to pink tights or other wage-earning occulvations it would be proper to revise this allowance downward. The only hope left for the poor Woman seems to be in marrying some other rich ‘ mutt" who will gratify her taste for loud dress and iced whiskies.

This line of reasoning necessitates the rejection of the story told by Chong Sing, who said he had seen Leon in the room over the Eighth avenue restaurant where Miss Sigel’s dead body lay, but the authorities declare that Chong’s statements have shown discrepancies with known facts in several particulars. In considering the possibility that Leon was kilted, it is regarded as probable that bis body was placed in a trunk, as was the girl’s, and this has drawn renewed attention to the baggage checked to Schenectady, N. Y., near where Chong Sing was found, and rechecked T by a Chinaman from Schenectady to Cleveland. “What about the theory that Leon is dead?' Police Inspector McCaffertv was asked.

.“Well, if Leon is dead, we have one of the men that killed him under ar rest, arid We can lay our hands on another in five minutes," he replied. All the Chinese laundries in the city, which are operated by four companies in the name of individual managers have received notices from the owners warning employes that they must have nothing to do with white women beyond business over the counter.
