ing Of the supreme court records in
the divorce suit of Mrs. Alva Willing
Astor against her husband, John ia
cob Astor, the secret as to the name
Of the correspondent is revealed.
This testimony has been very care
fully guarded ever since Mrs. Astor
filed her suit before Justice Mills In
the supreme court at White Plains.
Mrs. Astor gave her testimony behind
closed doors before Referee Charles
II. Young, and a decree was granted
Mrs. Astor by Justice Mills on Nov.
last. 1t took just three minutes for
the justice to grant the divorce.
Mrs. Roberta Menges Corwin Hill.
once known as 'the belle Of Sleeps
head Bay" and who has had a varied
matrimonial career since that time, is
the woman named by Mrs. Astor.
In September, 1904, Mrs. Astor was
informed that her husband was pay
ing considerable attention to Mrs. Hill.
Her informant told her that Colonel
Astor had had Mrs. Hill as his guest
on trip up the Nile.
Mrs. Astor went to the Scottish
shooting lodge of Attorney John L.
Cadwalader and consulted him there.
Soon after this conference Mr.. Cad
walader came to New York and en-
gagged a detective agency to watch
Colonel Astor, who had returned to
the city from Egypt. Mrs. Hill was
also here.
Colonel Astor admired Mrs. Hill very
much. Her social position was not
equal to his, and he was unable to
meet her at public functions. Never.
theless they did meet frequently. The
detectives from the agency found out
where these meetings were held.
Here are the facts as testified to by
the detectives.
They learned that a woman had Sc
cured a suit of rooms at a well known
New York hotel so that Colonel Astol
and Mrs. Hill could meet there and
that the pair did meet in this suit al
most daily.
With this information in its posses
sion the detective agency stationed

All of these details were decided

today that he had accepted the ap-

President Mckinley and did much to
swing the Illinois delegation to the Nc
Kinley column in the national conven-
tion. In 1900 Mr.. Calhoun could have
received the Republican nomination for
governor If he would have permitted
his friends to enter him in the race.
In 1898 Mr.. Calhoun was named a
commission, serving until 1900. In
1905 he was selected as a special COM
missioner to Venezuela when an inter-
national crisis was impending. His re-
port, made then, has formed the basis
for American action ever since in
maintaining the principles of the Mon
roe doctrine.
