.LOMMIS SILENT
REGARDING. WIFE
Author Refuses to Reply to His
SpouSe'S Statement of
Marital InfeIicitieS
WILL NOT ATTACK A WOMAN
Friends Relate Story of the Two
Matrimonial Exploits of
Gifted Man

Apparently Mrs. c. F. Lummis, wife
of the former city librarian, must
carry the fight for freedom from mar
ital bonds which she is said to be
contemplating into the home of her
distinguished husband in the Arroyo
Seco. AS he said Wednesday, he
scorns to fight woman. Therefore
he will not meet her half way. Mr..
Lunmis has become reticent. From
simile and metaphor, used almost flip
PANTY, he has withdrawn to silence
and meditation.
"I have no statement of any kind
to make" said Mr.. Lummis last night
in answer to an inquiry regarding the
suit for divorce likely to be Instituted
by his wife at San Francisco, Further
than that he would say nothing except
that should his attorney deem a state
ment advisable he might make one
later, although his personal inclination
was to say nothing at all.
II do not favor attacking woman
under any circumstances" he added,
land In a case like this it is better,
perhaps, for the man to keep silent,
however unjustly he may be accused. :
DR.. Lummis was seen by Herald
reporter at the unique western home
he built for himself on early American
lines in East Avenue Forty-three.
He is engaged in literary work, pre-
pairing new manuscript and attending
to his forthcoming books which will
appear next year.
WIFE NOT SOLE INSPIRATION
Friends of the historian and former
public librarian deny that his present
wife was his sole inspiration for the
work which has made him an author
ity on the history of early America
and for his literary reputation.
1.-THE first Mrs. Lummis and Dr.
Lummis were always great chums, and
1 think they still have the highest re-
gard for one another" said man VINO
has known the family for many years
"Refore his second marriage Lunmis
was already famous and ranked high
in literary reputation. His trip across
the country, of which The Herald
speaks, was camera trip, and re-
suited in a remarkable collection OF
Photographic negatives.
INV understanding is that the wife
who is said to be suing for a divorce
was introduced to Mr.. Lummis by his
first wife, who sent her to take care
of him while he was suffering from
stroke of paralysis. / think tnat tps
three have always been the pest 9
friends. and I do not believe thai
there has been any such scanoal al
the papers have limited.
"When Lummis came back from
New Mexico he constructed his home
with his own hands, aided only by the
labor of Indians he brought back with
him. The window glass is made from
some of the most remarkable neg
atives ever made in America, and In
other ways the house has the stamp
of its builders strong individuality"

Krauss before she met Griffith, as well
as her movements after they were in

ago, will be revealed. Also the alleged
matchmaking schemes OF Mrs. Krauss

room, surrounded by business associ-
ates. while Mrs. Krauss took seat at

Countess Aurelia Bethlen, Hungari-
an exponent of Bahaism, visited Mrs.

that a superior judge may extend the
time of probation of a defendant for

The opinion came with the denying
of a writ of habeas corpus in the case
of ]. M. Sizelove. Sizelove was placed
on probation for two years for bur-
glary, but before that time expired
was arrested for violating his parole.
The Judge extended his probation two
years and he was again arrested for
the same, offence.
The writ was demanded by Sizelove's
attorneys on the ground that the SUI
perior judge lost control of the case
after the expiration of the first two
years. The writ was denied
