Mrs. Chauncey NJ. Depew. Her arriv-
al from her long stay abroad Is coin

that she has brought a suit for separa-
tion against her distinguished husband.
There is rumor current in Wall
street that Senator Depew is in a state
Of complete mental and physical col
lapse at Scarbnro on the Hudson. 1t
is significant that Charles Spanldiug
Senator Depew's nephew did not know
of the arrival of Mrs. Depew fro
Abroad. When questioned concerning
her whereabouts he gave answers in-
dicating his belief that she would re-
main abroad indefinitely. Concerning
the rumor that she had retained a law,
yer to bring suit for separation, he
said
THAT is a malicious felsehood.
