Long Suppressed Scandal Published

Daniel f. Vermilye was arrested in Chi
cago last week, charged with embezzling
$4,000 from Weem's stone and marble com-
pany. Suits are also brought against him
by Gen. William Myers, retired last winter
after thirty years of honorable service in
the army. One is to recover 500, 600, given
by him to Vermilye Tor Investment in real
estate on the line OF the Northern Pacific;
the other, 1926, 900 damages for Islander, in
volv;H2 the name Of Ger. Myers with that
of Mrs. Vermilye. Vermilye, it seems, is a
Young man of thirty, of a respectable East
ern family. He married a Miss Holmes,
of a wealthy family, in Orange, N. j.,
and two years ago went to st.
Paul, where Gen. Myers was Stationed, and
entered the employ of the Northern Pacific
railroad. Gen. Myers became intimate with
him and his wife, and, on VeTmilye's rep
resentation that he could give valuable
pointers about land on the line of the rail.
road, invested money with him at James
town, Mundan and other places. Gen. Ny
ers says, regarding his relations with Mrs.
Vermilye, that they have been only those
of friendly acquaintance, he having known
her mother in the east, and Mrs. Vermilye
and his wife are intimate friends.

has the reputation, Justly or unjustly &C
quired il more youthful days, Of being in
clined to libertinism, and his intimacy socn
gave rise to gossip, and even TO direct char
ges of wrong, non of which were substan-
tiated, however, and the close relations SUBJ
sisting between Myers and Vermilye were
pointed to by friends of the former as a re-
futstion of the stories of wrong duplicating
the wife of the latter.
The whole business was an exciting scan
dial two years ago in st. Paul, but was
kept out of the papers. In the meantime
Gen. Myers retired. Mrs. Vermilye is now
in Orange, where she has brought suit for
divorce against her Grant husband. The
bill, a2cC Ply of which was seen by a repor-
ter, charges Vermilye with having volunta-
ri:y left his wife, with "groE and Vicious
habits" making the martial relation intol-
cradle, with drinking and other vices to
such N extent as to make him unfit for
business, with dishonesty in his business
dealings, and with written acknowledge
ment of having fresuented disreputable
houses.

freight shipped over the company's road
from points in Iowa to points in Wisconsin,
and originated under the tariff law q
1874, now repealed. Judge McOrsry
nlied to through shipments, re-
lated to the subject in its nature national
and that if the power of a state to pass such
an act were conceded, it would necessarily
include the power to discriminate against
the of other states. For these
reasons such a statute would be in violation
OF the federal constitution, and 1t is not
within the power Of one state upon an inter
state hne to fix rates to be paid for carriage
within its territory; for that would in effect
give it power to demand more thar its
share of a reasonable charge for the entire
distance. 1t would be giving to the statutes
of such state extra territorial force.
