to be strictly business one. When ques-

Kuropatkin desired the fullest information
concerning Russia's interests and work In
the far east, and naturally requested the
officials to meet him, since it was I'M

It Is intima ted that one important ques-

Deprecate War Talk.
High officials strongly deprecate the
war talk rife among officers Of lower rank

DIVORCED AND DIED
Death Of George Elder Of III" Ends a
Maryland Society

Baltimore, July 13.-George Howard
Elder of "R' died yesterday at the Elder
country place in Garrison, Md, without
knowing that his wife Anita Carol Nc
lavish Elder, had been granted an abso-
lutte divorce from him on statutory
grounds on the report made by Charles
j. Bonaparte, the master appointed to
take evidence. Thus ends one of the most
discussed society scandals that ever agi-
tated Baltimore, for both belonged to th2
most exclusive strains of colonial days,
families that claim the highest prestige
by reason Of their birth
Elder was a Howard, a direct descend
ant Of the famous family Of Howard
county. Mrs. Elder was Carol and a
McTavish. In Maryland these simple
statements carry with them world OF
significance. Altho both Of the families
are rich, especially the Carols, Mrs
Elder inherited a comparatively small
amount of money and George Howard
Elder Of R none at all. The peculiar suf
fix Of "R" means son of Robert Elder, .
and it is used to distinguish him from an
uncle bearing the same name.
Mrs. Elder has been left penniless and
she must depend upon herself to make q
living.
