NEW YORK COURT GIVES PERMISSION Prospective Groom Den lee Story, bat Persnades Jadge to fannere Dl re Decree aa He Desire A aother Wife. (Copyright. 19T1I, by Prcwi Publishing Co.) PARIS. April 20. (New York World Csblegram, Special Telogram.) It Is re ported In the American colony that William K. Vanderbllt, sr.wfll marry within a few days Mrs. Lewis Morris" Rutherford, ' Jr., daughter of Oliver Hartiaaa; ar., of New York City.- The, wedding. It la. said, will be quiet. There Is some doub as to where It will be celebrated, but It is believed that London haa been chosen. Mr. Vanderbllt's lptentlons with j-espect to Mrs. Rutherford, who Is considered the beauty of the' American contingent In Paris have been an open secret for a long time. The American multi-millionaire's devotion to his charming countrywoman was so marked, as to . attract general attention, and waa' freely ' declared , that the widow of Lewi Rutherford was deeply In love with Mr. Vanderbllt. Mrs. Rutherford s husband .died a year ago of consumption. For a lime the widow lived In a tiny cottage, set In a little court yard, In the Avenue . Bois De Boulogne. She recently removed to her handsome home In the arrondlsscment of Passy, la which fashionable part of the city the De Castellanes have their mansion, and where there are many other splendid homes. Mr. Vanderbllt claims a legal residence In Polssy, which Is fourteen mile's out of Paris and where he and Mrs. Rutherford could declare their intontlons as the law require. The necessary legal action might also be taken In Passy,. but since nothing of the kind has been done at either It I be lieved that Mr. Vanderbllt and Mrs. Ruth erford will avoid the red tape and circum locution of the marriage requirements agalnat foreigners in Franc and seek the less exacting . regulations of England. An American marrying In France must, among other things, present a fully at tested certificate of birth and not being able to provide this must make oath to the facts of the customary residence and conform to certain other declarations to be made at th nearest American consulate or embassy. There Is not yet on file with the am bassador or consul here any of the neces sary legal papers, which lends additional color to the statement that the marriage will Uka place In London. It is not im probable, however, that the event may be celebrated at Mrs. Rutherford's house In Passy, or at Polssy. In reply to a note sent to Mr. .Vander bllt at his residence at 138 Champs Elysees, asking if It wer true he waa to be married on Wednesday or on any other date, the following was received tonight by th World correspondent: Report that I am to be married on Wed nesday Is untrue. (Signed.) W. K. VANDERB1LT. This equivocal note was In the hand writing of Mr. Vanderbllt and waa dis patched immediately upon Mr. Vander bllt's return- from St. -Cloud, where he spent the day at a rac meet and where on of his horses won. NEW YORK. April 20. it is reported here, says the Psris .correspondent of th American, that, William K. Vanderbllt is to. be married here quietly on Wednesday to a young American widow, to whom he has recently been paying attention.. The name of- th bride-to-be, who Is at present living In Parla, is kept secret.. She Is reported to have visited New York a year ago, where she was entertained by her sis ter, an unmarried woman, who Is in 'the secret of the approaching marriage, to the exclusion of Mr. Vanderbllt's relative In New York. Justice Getgerlch in the supreme court today signed an order permitting William K. Vanderbllt to marry again. The order modifies the decree obtained by Mrs. Alva E. Vanderbllt In 1895 by which Mr. Van derbllt was forbidden to marry within th life of his divorced wife. The application stated that. Mr. Vanderbllt Is "now In France and Is desirous of forthwith, con tracting another marriage. ' Enema, Ao Care, Ro ray.

I heard from him twice since he went and wrote to him in care f Salvatore Macoloso. The resson my husband went to New York was that my brother was in trouble there and sent to Sfitig Sing piiunn for four year. My husband said ne thought that If he went to New York he could hav my brother sent to a prison near Buffalo. He did not tell me why he thought he could do It, but he said somethlne about some men down there who would i able to help him. He belonged to some secret society there; no, I don't know the name of the society. He never told me much about It. Before I came over from Italy my husband told me about belonging to a secret society In New York. He told me about It in a letter, but that waa ail he said. Some time ago my brother, Joseph de Prlmo got Into trouble In New York. I don't know what the trouble was, but my husband said he would help him out Then my brother sent to us for money to psy his lawyer. My husband sent the money. I don't know Just how much it wss, but It was over $100. My brother had to send this money to Salvator Macoloso. After we sent the money we got a letter from my brother saying the money had been re ceived by Macoloso and that it had been given to Mornillo. Afterwards, when my brother waa sen tenced to prison, my husband said he would go to New York and have him sent to prison in Buffalo, or near here. He said he would see Morrelllo. When my husband got to New York he wrote to me that he had seen Morrelllo and that Morrelllo would not do anything to have my brother sent to a prison near here. He said Mor relllo -was against him.

MANSFIELD . FAVORS OMAHA Groat Actor Like tho Town aad Glees it Consideration' en Hie r ' -Tesr. " What Is Omaha's standing as a theatrical city? That was the question under dis cussion yesterday at lunch. There were present a banker, an editor, a broker and a theatrical manager. Th last was Paul Wllstach, business manager for Richard Mansfield, and th question was put to him. "On can only snswer that from Intlmat experience," said Mr. Wllstach, "and based on Mr. Mansfield'a warm welcomes In Omaha, your city's standing Is first-else. It Is , with tis. . Heretofore, for a number of years. It has been down for one night on Mr. Mansfield's rout. Always th ticket on sale have been thousands too few for th demand. So this season Omaha Is down two nights of 'Julius Caesar.' This was dene out of confidence In the city, for yon know the science of successful man agement Is to glvs as few performances to as many peopl aa possible. "Have you arty idea of th comparatlvs standing of Omaha on Mr. Mansfield's tour?" "Well, comparatively this city Is getting more nights of 'Julias Caesar' than any other city In America. There are Provi dence and Montreal, the former with 178,000 and the tatter with 287,000, yet Omaha, with 103,000, has m many nights of Mans field as either. This Is based on the cen sus of 1900, as are the following," he con tinued, consulting a not book: "Louis ville has 204,000, Indianapolis 169,000, Roch ester 162,000, Toledo 181,000, Columbus 125, 000. Worcester US.OOO snd New Haven 108, 000;. yet these, with more population than Omaha, hav only half aa many appear ances of Mr. Mansfield. In other words, they are one-night stands oa his route. From thla you can gather Omaha's stand ing as a center of culture and appreciation, at least with Mr, Mansfield." Mr. .Wllstach has been an annual visitor to Omaha during his alx years association with Mr, Mansfield and declares thst th olty during the last two yesrs has shown remarkable vitality and growth. Ha I the author of several plays which hav been seen here, th last of which was "A Capital Comedy," given by ..Tim Murphy, and ho I th brother of Frank J. Wllstach, manager of Viola Allen, and. of Claxton Wllstach, manager of petite Adelaide Thurston. He haa just completed a new comedy which he haa named "Polly Primrose." Adelaide Thurstpn will play ''Polly Primrose" next season.
