NO ''EVELESS EDEN"
FOR YOUNG DU POINT
Son of Millionaire Powder Man.
ufacturer at Sioux Falls TO
Secure a Divorce.
SEPARATED FOR YEARS
Owns Five Residences at Wilmington
but Wife Declines to Share Best
One, Which Is Termed an
"EveIess Eden"

Sioux Falls, S. D, June 2.-"This talk
about my Eveless Eden and all that sort
Of rot annoys me, and the public ought
not to be interested in it. It's not OF
the public's concern If ] did come here
TO seek a divorce"
With this characteristic utterance AL
fred J. DUPONT, son and partner Of the
multi-millionaire powder manufacturer
Of Wilmington, Del, who is the latest
acquisition to the Sioux Falls divorce
colony, entered upon a discussion Of the
report hat he was here for the pur-
pose of obtaining a divorce.
I'm here for my ~health-not for a
divorce" said he. Here l am AZ years
old and / feel like an old man Of so.
Lord knows, I've lived a whole lot in
my time, though. Some would have
had more gray hairs than l, had they
gone through what l have. I'm over so
in experience. I've been married TWEEN
ty years or more, but my wife and l
haven't lived together for years-nO
matter how many years-the public
knows all about that
Had Notoriety Enough.
Town Topics has been making com
ments on my 'EVeless Eden and all
that and / don't care for any more no
toriety. This comment was called forth
by my purchase of a splendid residence
a year or so ago. l have two or three
other residences, too, in one Of which
my wife and children reside. Yes, l
have children"
DUPONT is accompanied by ]. w. Viii
Hanson. a New York stock broker,
whom rumor also listed as a member
Of the divorce colony. DUPONT was
asked if Williamson also sought a di-
vorce.
II really don't know" he responded
dryly. Il hardly think so, however, as
he's never been married yet"
DuPont's attention was called to the
fact that he had registered at the
Cataract hotel as a resident of Will
mington, Del, but had subsequently
crossed out the word Wilmington" and
substituted Sioux Falls"
IF you are here for your health and
not for a divorce" he was asked, why
you thus change your residence?"
Keeping the Record Straight.
my residence is Sioux Falls and not
Wilmington" he responded. Il want
that distinctly understood. And it Dies
seem a bit strange that / would aban-
don my residence and business at Will
mington TO move out here for my
doesn't it? Well, the public is
bound to make it's own deductions and
It's welcome to them. There's no Sc
cret about my estrangement from my
wife. The newspapers printed a lot
about II. She was a New Haven girl.
I don't care to discuss that, though"
HAS she done anything recently to
p~recipitate divorce proceedings-com-
mitted any offense?" he was asked.
None tina I know Of" he replied.

SOUTH DAKOTA

A London scientist says that life IN a
metropolis makes young children sharp
but not clever; that 1t often destroys
their nance Of ever being clever, FOR
IL hastens the development of the brain
unnaturally; ii makes them superficial,
alert, but not observant: excitable, but
without one spark of enthusiasm; they
are apt to grow blase. tickle, discon-
tented; they see more things than the
country bred child, but not such inter
esting things; they do not properly sec
anything, for they have neither the
time nor capacity to get at the root OF
all the ~bewildering objects that crowd
themselves into their little lives.
