millionaire drug man of this city, and the
father of the recently divorced Mrs Smith
Holins AIcKim, will not separate, and that
the relations existing between them arc

Emerson stated that the report was alb

10 get Il divorce.
1--WE were never on better terms IN our

have stated that the relations We're so
strained between us that he moved to d
club In 10th street, while remained at the
WaIdorf-Astoria At that time he was liV-
ing at the club. He stays there the most OF
the time he is in New York. So that was
nothing unusual We had luncheon to-
cether that afternoon, and later he went
to his club and met some friends My
daughter had rooms at the Waldorf and l
engaged one next TO hers. I thought that
It would be convenient for me to do that
and let Captain Emerson stay at the club,
for the hotel was very crowded during the
Horse Show.
ION Sunday morning I received note
from my husband telling me that he would
be down to luncheon. In the mean time,
however. I had made another engagement
with a friend of mine. and so, when the
captain came In was in the dining-r0om.
Then he found one OF his friends and dlned
with him. After luncheon met him in the

he had on hand. He told me that he want
