Chicago, Aug. 23.-Accompanied by
Pittsburg and his wife, from whom
he has been separated several months,
met in Chicago yesterday to reach an
agreement in their matrimonial diff

truce. but to determine just how many
millions stood between them and a
peaceful separation, including some
agreement under which both could see
their children.
Recalls Sensational Kidnapping.
1t was these children which caused
the sensational act recently of Mr..
Phipps when he took them from his
wife in New York City and flew with
all haste to Denver where they now
are.
Both Mr.. Phipps and his wife ar
rived in Chicago in as much state as
secrecy, but particular stress was laid
by both on secrecy. The husband
came from Denver and his wife from
Pittsburg. 1t was contended by
Phipps and his attorneys that many

The demands of the wife are said
to have been a payment of 5000. 900
in cash and the custody of the Phipps
children one-half of each year. On
such terms the wife agreed that she
would make as easy as possible her
husbands efforts to secure a divorce.
The outcome of the conference was
not made public.
Later in the day both Phipps and
his wife were reported to have left
the city, the man returning to Denver
and his wife TO Pittsburg.
