NEW YORK. Feb. 23--There is to be
a reconciliation between James II. Duke,
the head Of the TCbaccD trust. and his
wife. Lillian.
The divorce suit of the millionaire
and the cross-biIl of Mrs. Duke, ordered
for trial by Vice Chancellor Pitney, in
Newark, between April Is and May 2,
will be withdrawn. friends said today.
and Mrs. Duke practically admitted as
much.
Mr.. Duke is all right if he would get
rid of certain people said Mrs. Duke.
when asked If she would return TO her
husband.
Negotiations for a reconciliation are
almost completed. and it is expected
that before the date set for the trial
Mr. and Mrs Duke will be back on the
Duke farm in Somerville. y. j. The
scandal already has hurt the trust ;
European trade. and it is this, so'the
story goes. which has induced the head
of the trust to change his views on the
divorce question.
A story is current in high social cir
cles that the recent robbery of the home
of Mrs Z. c. Hoyt, when Mrs. Edgar
l. Marston lost a gold bejeweled hand
bag worth $3.50, is the direct result of
bridge whist. The detectives are posi-
tive that the bag was not stolen by a
servant. and they seek among the two
score society women who participated in
the tourney at Mrs. Hoyts house for
the perpetrator of the robbery
Because of the refusal of Edward l.
Marston, the rich Wall Street operator
and owner Of one of the finest estates
near New York, TO permit the police TO
make Il thorough investigation and the
unwillingness OF the hostess OF the whist
tourney to make public the names of
her guests, the police are handicapped,
and the result is that not only does the
inquiry remain incomplete, but the flag
