MALICIOUS TALE Is DENIED
Father Of Mrs. Thurston Refutes a Story
Printed in Eastern Papers.
HER ALLEGED CONNECTION WITH STAGE
Mr.. Purmnn objects to Having Only
Part of the Truth About His
Daughter Appear In
Public Prints.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.-(Speclal Tele-
gram.)-The New York Journal today
printed story from Boston wherein 1t was
stated that Mis-. j. NJ. Thurston, formerly
Miss Lola Purman. was we'll known in the
Hub, having been a professional actress
there, a divorced woman and that she had
acted before tine aristocracy of Massa-
chusett's capital under the name of Little
Lola Tripp." The story has created consid-
erable talk in social circles hereabouts and
w. j. Purman, father of Mrs. Thurston, in
speaking of the article said.
ut can with truth be said that my
daughter was never upon the professional
boards. She graduated from the Emerson
College OF Oratory in Boston and with some
of the professors, teachers and pupils of that
school appeared a few times in Boston in
amateur performances of Shakespearean
plays, in which Miss Purman assumed lead
ing female roles. Her performances were
so favorably received that her friends urged
her to enter upon professional career and
finally, in 1897, she went to England with
Augustin Daly's company with her friends,
Miss Hornick, now with Frohman, and Mr..
Southwch, who were teachers in Emerson
school,
"Whie at school in Boston she met and
married Walter b. Tripp then professor
In Emerson college. he was also unuer en-
gagement to go to London with Mr.. DAILY,
but other arrangements were made and Mr..
Tripp remained on this side to join William
II. Crane with whom he played for short
time. Miss Purman, now Mrs. Thurston.
soon became disillusionized of the stage and
within two months of her visit to England
she returned to the United States thoroughly
satisfied that hers must be domestic and
not professional life. She was never an in
structor in Emerson college, nor has she
been a kindergarten teacher in this city, as
was erroueously stated in some of the news
papers at the time OF her marriage to Sen
ator Thurston.
Miss Purman's marriage to Walter B.
Trip was of short duration. The marriage
was not a happy one and resulted in separa-
ton. Miss Purman securing divorce and
having her maiden name restored. My
daughters tastes are thoroughly domestic
and she deserves to have the whole truth
told and not half truth which is as venom
GUS as a serpent's bite.
"As to her appearing in the drawing
rooms Of the aristocracy Of Boston, as al
legged by the New York Journal that Is alb
solutely erroneous. AS pupil, she ap
peared with others in amateur performances
which were fads of the social life Of Bos-
ton but never as a professional. Her mar
riage to Mr. Tripp was mistake. That Is
all there is to my daughters. past life"

this afternoon she is said to be out of dan

REPORTED INDIAN lIPRIslAe

Version of the Sacs and Fox
Trouble.

gram 1.-The reported uprising of the Sac

the action OF Agent Malin in forcibly taking
married woman of school age from her
liege lord and keeping her locked up in the
school building, has not yet materialized

II have not asked Mr.. Malin for report"
said Commissioner Jones, "and don't expect
to do so. In the first place / cannot believe
that less than 300 Indians will buck against
the state of Iowa over a trivial matter like
that. The trouble with these Indians began
some time ago. Chief Poweshiek came to
Washington with a claim that there was
something like $500 due him as chief of
the Sacs and Fox. There was question
as to whether it belonged to him or the
head man of the Sacs and Fox band in Okla
homa and he did not get the money. He
then said he would not let HE children go
to the school that had been established just
outside the reservation nor would he draw
his annuity until the $500 was paid. He
was supported in both these matters by some
OF his tribe, who have not drawn their an
nuities. very much doubt If we can compel
this married girl to attend school and it Is
question whether We can compel attend
ance of any of the enrolled children, as the
school is outside the reservation.
THAT is a matter for the courts to decide.

vised and all this trouble, to my mind, Is
directly traceable to /. L. Wilcox Of Mon
