Suydam Jr. Would
Marry Wife to Her
Plumber Affinity

NEW YORK, Sept. 19.-Stip-
ulating that his young wife,
Louise White Lawrence Spy
dam, should first enter into an
agreement to marry Frederick
Noble, the plumbers son, with
whom she recently ran away
from her home in Blue Point,
L. l., Walter Lispenard Suydam
Jr. offered today to free her. by
suing for divorce.
Suydam, his millionaire father
and lawyer called upon the
young woman at the fiat where
she and Noble have been living,
and made the stipulation as an
alternative to never having a
divorce suit begun. They also
demanded that the agreement be
signed by Noble.
Previous to their arrival, Mrs.
Suydam complained OF her hus-
bands delay in starting the
divorce proceedings. She said
she had no intention of going
back to him and wanted a
divorce Immediately.
Young Suydam had hoped for
a reconciliation, but, finding it
hopeless, began to consider the
divorce situation. His one
thought, he announced, was that
the future of his wife should be
provided for. His attorney sug-
gested the marriage contract,
which appealed to Suydam and
his family .inasmuch as it would
provide for the future of the
eiopers before the divorce pro-.
ceedings were actually begun.

BUILDING 100 STORIES HIGH
Nothing Improbable in Report Of Plans
for New Structure for City
of New York.

There is nothing intrinsically i'm
probable in the report that a hundred
story building has been planned for
New York A 50-story building is al.
ready in process of construction there.
and presumably there are no serious
engineering problems involved In the
higher structure that have not been
encountered in the lower. The one es-
sential would appear to be that a plot
OF ground sufficient in area to provide
an ample base should be obtained: the
relation between base and height In
skyscrapers has been at least theo-
retically determined. Whether a hun
dred story building is commercially
practicable is another question. Would
a suite of Offices on the ninety-ninth
floor, say, rent easily? This is some
thing that perhaps even the real es-
tate experts in Manhattan could not
decide offhand. But if the hundred
story structure should be built, ris-
ing 1900 feet above the pavement,
New York would take certain pride
