GUGENHEIMM WINS
WIFE'S SUIT
JUDGE IN CHICAGO DISMISSES5
PROCEEDINGS TO HAVE DI
VORCE ANNULLED.
Chicago, Jan. 11.--The application
of Mrs. Grace Brown Guggenheim to
have her divorce from William Gug
genheim annulled was dismissed by
Judge Heard here today for want of
equity.
Mrs. Guggenheim based her applica
tion on the allegation that when she
obtained her decree she swore erron
eously that she was a resident of
Illinois.
The then Grace Brown married the
millionaire mining and smelting man
in 1900 and the decree of divorce was
entered the next year with alimony
in the lump sum of $150,000.
Since the divorce bioth parties to the
suit have remarried.
According to Jacob Newman of
coinse or ,Wrillia a Guggenheim, Mrs.
duggeiheirris first hu' ban'd was
Charles Herbert of Washington, D. C.)
A divorce separated them. Her mar
riage with Guggenheim came next, but
Mr. Newman states they lived to
gether only three days. After this
divorce Mrs. Guggenheim married
Jules Roger Wahl, a Frenchman resi
dent in New York.
"They lived together for four years,"
related Mr. Newman, "when Wahl re
turned to France. Whether the re
port is true that Wahl's parents had
his marriage annulled in France I do
not know."
Guggenheim married Miss Amy
Steinberger, by whom he has a son,
William, Jr.
It was after Mrs. Guggenheim had
married Wahl that she filed suit in
New York state for divorce from Gug
genheim, claiming that the Illinois
divorce was illegal. The case went to
the supreme court of that state, where
her bill was dismissed. In 1909 she
filed another suit to set aside the
original Illinois divorce, but Judge
Honore denied her right to file her
petition after the lapse of eight years.
She sent this case to the appellate
court, where it is still pending.
In the present suit Mrs. Grace
Guggenheim claimed that Guggenheim
knew she was not a resident of Illinois
when the divorce was obtained. Mrs.
Guggenheim, or Waj4l, claims that
she does not want money but wishes
to ascertain beyond doubt whether the
divorce .was legal.
Judge Heard, in giving the decision,
criticized the divorce laws of Illinois
and urged that steps be taken to
change them. He declared that both
Mr. and Mrs, Guggenheim pnocured
the divorce of 1910 by fraud. He also
held that if fraud were practiced in
securing the divorce, Mrs. Guggen
heim *as a party to it.
This factor weighed largely with
the court in his decision against the
the complaint, who was not in court
when the decision was rendered.

Mrs. Clara Baldwin Stocker (on left) and her daughter on Mrs. Stocker's
$40,000 private car.
Arcadia, Cal., Jan. 11.-(Special.)
Mrs. (Clara Baldwin Stocker, one of
the two heirs of the 11ias Jackson
(Lucky) Baldwin estate, who has al
ready received approximately $1,500,
000 from the estate and who is soon to
get -half of the remaining $24,000,000
or so, arrived here from Chicago a
few days ago in her specially built
private car, bringing the first instal
ment of her $1,000,000, purchases of
rare gems, precious wares and other
things, in accordance with her ex
pressed declaration to "spend a mil
lion or two in order to have a really
good time."
Mrs. Stocker, radiant over her re
turn to her beautiful home at Ar
cadia and Joyous over possession of
her veritable princess' fortune that
surrounded her, expressed her policy
with promptness and decision :
"I am going to have the very best
sort of a good time," she declared as
she stood upon the observation plat
fonm of her car and viewed the little
throng of people who ,welcomed her,
"for what is money for if it is not to
give one access to real enjoyment of
life? I have already started to have
my good time. I'm having it and I'm
going to have still more of it. I'm
going to-have. all the good-time-that
money will buy me. Iavish in my
purchases? Of course. But lavish as
it seems, I'm going to be, still more
so, for I'm going to have a really good
time."
N NO SONDERCLASS
YACHT IN SIGHT
GERMANS PROTEST AGAINST
LOW "SLARY LIMIT". OF THIS
CLASS OF BOAT.
Berlin, Jan. 11.-There is a likelihood
that the next summer's international
regatta will furnish no sonderclass op
ponents for the Americans.
At present not one sonderclass
yacht is being built by any of Ger
many's greatest yacht constructors,
and none will be unless conditions
alter. The German yachtsmen have
long protested that the existing price
limit for sonderclass racers-$1,300-
was too low to enable them to com
pete with the higher priced American
yachts, and the builders also demand
ed that the limit be raised. A few
weeks ago the price-limit was in
creased with the consent of the Em
peror to $1,400, but the builders are
still dissatisfied with this figure. They
demand a limit of $1,625.
Whether the emperor, to whose in
itiative and encouragement seonder
class racing in Germany owes its de
velopment, will consent to the new
price-limit is doubtful. If he does
not, there will probably be no Ger
man competitors with the American
yachts.
Germany's practically applied sci
ence is about to rescue another waste
product and make it useful.
Professor Reinke, of the Brunswick
Technical high school, has discovered
a method of converting into cellulose
the waste of the asparagus plant. A
good quality of paper is made from
cellulose, and it has many other yal
aable industrial uses.
TOO AMBITIOUS.
San Francisco, .Jan. 11.-Wallace I.
Poland, Pacific coast sales manager
of the International Harvester com
pany, was sentenced to seven years in
San Quentin penitentiary today ,for
peculation aggregating $84.000. His
wife collapsed. Poland had been a
trusted employe for seven years. He
had no bad habits and his thefts were
prompted solely by a desire to estab
lish himself independently in business.
He speculated in moving-picture ven
tures and lost.

rammed by l vpr monster whales in
pursuit of a -dtb6f Of porpoises. 'the
whales were the largest seen in this
locality.
Included in the $1,000,000 expendi
tures just made by Mrs. Stocker are
a $200,000 steam yacht, diamonds ag
gregating in value $250,000, a ward
robe whose'cost is estimated at $100,

er precious metals, $20,000; automo
biles, $20,000; and mnany other articles
purchased in the east.
"I believe I just about bought Tif
fany out," Mrs. Stocker declared,
laughing, in discussing her gems.
'I just love diamonds," she added,
"and you certainly ought to see my
collection. I have diamonds and dia
monds and diamonds. I have them in
all sorts of settings-necklaces, sun
bursts, pendants, bracelets, rings-oh,
I cannot enuimerate the list. There is
at least $250,000 worth of them in the
collection. I just bought and bought
until I gbought all that pleased me.
Then I quit-for the time being.
"But my yacht!" cried ,the happy
woman, pointing to a photograph of
the craft. "She is a beauty. She cost
me $200,000. She's one of the most
beautiful things of her size afloat.
"And," sweeping her hand around
her private car, "isn't 'this just the
loveliest car? I had it especially
built by the Pullman company. It
cost $40,000 and was built just as I
wanted it."
MISLEADING ADVICE
DENOUNCED
REPRESENTATIVE SIMS WOULD
HANG MEN WHO ADVISE PRES
IDENT TO .DO WRONG.
Washington, Jan. ll1.-"When men
privately, under the guise of friend
ship, mislead the king or president, in
order to obtain an end other than pub
lic welfare, they ought to hang," Rep
resentative Sims of Tennessee de
clared in the house today, upon the
conclusion of the reading of an edi
torial regarding the cabinet to be se
lected by President-elect Wilson.
Mr. Sims obtained the floor during
the consideration of the postoffice
appropriation bill and sent to the desk
an editorial lauding the .president
elect for the stand taken in the mat
ter.
"Under the English law, they did
not punish the king for any wrong,
but they punished his advisers," Rep
resentative Sims added. He said
when he read this in his boyhood
days he thought it a great outrage,
but since had concluded it was wise.
Mr. Sims continued:
"Those who get next to the king
and next to the president, who are en
trusted with his confidence, and who,
instead of telling him the plain truth
as they see it, color it so that he does
not see the facts, but views them
through colored glasses and there
fore does wrong through misinforma
tion. I am in favor of hanging the
advisers instead of punishing the
president.
"In the last 100 years good pres
idents have done that which they
would not have done had they known
the facts. When a man is appointed
to a cabinet office, he ought to be a
man of ability, ought to forget him
self, forget his friends and enmles,
and tell the president the plain truth."
Representative Sims declared the
country had confidence in Vovernor
Wilson's judgment to do the right
thing. During his dissertation on the
cabinet, Representative Sims was
asked by Representative Cannon if
he had in mind any one who would
fll the bill. Mr. Sims replied in the
negative. *
