director in several other lines, was very
much surprised today on reading the
press cablegranls announcing that he was
the father-in-laW of the Duke of Man
chester He stated that the press re-
ports We're all the information that he
had regarding the matter, and that he
did not desire to talk about the marriage
until he was further advised He in
sisted, however, that there had been false
reports about the Duke OF Manchester;
that the duke had never been engaged
to any actress; that he is not a SPEND
thrift, and has not been so notorious as
reports would make him Mr.. thinner
man said the ducal fortune was dissi-
pated before the present duke assumed
his heritage. Mr. Zimmerman said that
he had received word that his daughter
was on her way to America; that he
would attend the meeting of the directors
of the Southern railway next Thursday,
and then go to New York to await her
arrival He had only the jkindest words
to say of his daughter and of whatever
she may have done. The Duke of Man
chester had met Mr.. Zimmerman at the
seaside, in this country and is not a
stranger to his wealthy father-in-law
Besides being connected with many rail-
ways, Mr. Zimmerman is a large stock
holder in the Standard on company and
local concerns, and one of the largest
owner of coal and iron lands in the West.

years, he is known as a royal entertainer
at his mansion on Mount Auburn.

Later Mr.. Zimmerman received a cable
gram from his daughter announcing the

his blessings. Some three years ago q
cousin of the duke spent a month here as
the guest of Miss Zimmerman and as the
representative of the duke in their al
lance. At that time society was astic
over their automobile rides and other
innovations in the conventionalities Of the
queen city.
1t is expected Mr. Zimmerman will hold
a reception for the duke and duchess on

opposed their marriage
