WHITE PLAINS, N. :, March 4
Mrs. Ava Willing Astor yas
awarded final decree of divorce
today from John Jacob Astor. the
multi-millionaire.
The decree was signed by Jus
tice Mills in the supreme court,
when her attorney moved that the
interlocutory decree granted four
months ago be made permanent,
and counsel for Astor made no OBJ
jections.
1t had been the intention of the
attorneys in the case to ask that
the papers be sealed but without
waiting for any statement from
them Justice Mills announced
These papers will not be sealed" )"
The attorneys, however, refused
to allow anyone to examine them
and announced that they would
not be made public until they
were filed with the county clerk.
1t developed that during tae
hearing of the case no mention
had been made of alimony, that
feature having been settled out
side the court.
1t Is reported that Mrs. Astor
will receive 100000 a year.
The decree restores her maiden
name and she will be known as
Mrs. Ava Willing. She is given
the custody of her daughter. Che
custody of the son is awarded to
the father.
Colonel Astor is forbidden 10
remarry during the lifetime Of
Mrs. Willing. She may, however,
remarry at any time.
As there is only one ground
upon which an absolute divorce
may be obtained in this state.
there was intense interest on the
part of many people to learn the
contents of Mrs. Astor's petition
and various rumors have been c,r-
culated regarding names that pos
sibly have been mentioned in 1t.
Every effort has been made to
keep the matter secret, and the
announcement of Justice Mills to-
day was a severe shock to coun-
sci. 1t was expected that they
would withhold the papers as long
as possible.

FAMOUS LAWYER
CROSSES DIVIDE
HENRY M. HoYT, COUNSELOR OF
DEPARTMENT OF STATE,
DIES OF PERlToNITiS.
WAS SECRETARY KNOvS CHIEF ADVISER
Noted Attorney Had Just Completed
Preliminary Work for Reciprocity
Treaty Between United States
and Canada.

Washington, D. C.-Henry Martyr
Hoyt, counselor for the depart
ment of state, died at his home here
from peritonitis. Mr. Hoyt was taken
i'll in Canada while there in connec-
tion with the reciprocity negotiations
between the United States and that
country. Since his return to Wash
ington he had been confined to his
home and physicians called into con-
sultation with the family physician
considered the case as extremely Sc
rious from the beginning. Almost
from the time Mr.. Hoyt took to his
bed there were rumors that his con-
dition was very grave. The body OF
Mr.. Hoyt was taken to his home city
of Wilkesbarre, Pa, for interment,
which was private.
Henry Martyr Hoyt was the strong
right arm of Philander G. Knox when
the latter was attornew general. In
fact, he made himself so indepensa-
BILE to his chief that when Mr.. Knox
became secretary of state he lost no
time in obtaining the transfer of
Judge Hoyt from the department of
justice TO his own field of action. Mr..
Hoyt was assigned, August 81, 1909,
to a new office, that of counselor of
the department In that field, though
the fact was not widely known, Mr..
Hoyt rendered invaluable service to
the government. Mr.. Hoyt came into
the department as an assistant attor-
ney general in 1897. He was appointed
by President Mckinley and served in
that position until March 81, 1908,
when he was appointed solicitor gen.
eral by President Roosevelt.
Mr.. Hoyt was born in Wilkesbarre,
Pa, December 2, 1856, being the son
of Gen. H. M. Hoyt, once governor
of the commonwealth. He was edu-
Gated in the public schools, graduated
from Yale in 1873, took post grad
uate law course in the University of
Pennsylvania in 1881 and afterward
was admitted to the bar and prac-
ticed law in Pittsburg. In 1888 he
married Anna, daughter of Col. Nor
ton McMichael, one of the foremost
citizens of Philadelphia. He moved
that year to New York to become as
sistant cashier of the United States
National bank, but after three years
there he returned to Pennsylvania to
become treasurer, and afterward pres
ident of the Investment Co. of Phil
adelphia. In 1894 he resumed the
practice of law in Philadelphia but
came to Washington in 1897.
