MARTINET'S VICTIM,

OF BROKEN HEART
Remarks Made by His Wife
Caused His Retirement
From Army.

New York, Oct. 2.-Colonel Charles
Greenlief Ayers, U. S. A, retired, died
the other day at his home. No. 6 West

eral months. He died, his friends be-
lieved, more of a broken heart than Of
illness. He was retired for diplomatic
reasons a couple of years ago, when, to
all appearances, he was strong n
hearty and good for a decade more of
active service.
What was at first a trifing affair at
West Point, later was magnified into a
national matter. On Easter, 1907, some
cadets at the academy parade grounds
gave some young girls their army over
coat because it was a raw day. Among
the girls was Miss Emily Ayers, the
colonel's young daughter.
The academy authorities ordered hat
the girls take off the coats under pen
atty of arrest. Mrs. Emily Fairfax
Ayers, the colonel's wife, made vigorous
comment on this as n piece of unwar-
ranted martinetism. She had an argu-
ment with Colonel Scott. commandment
of the academy, and the result was that
an order from Washington barred her
forever thereafter from the academy
grounds.
She and the colonel. who was in the
Philippines at the time of the argu-
ment, later threatened suit against
Scott and others for ~defamatory state
ments they gave to newspapers. But
before the suits could be brought Colo
mel Ayers was ~railroaded into retire
ment. He entered the examination
looking the picture of health and came
out bearing the verdict disabled"
