CONDITION OF MAD KING
OTTO is GROWING WORSE
viii Soon Celebrate Twenty-ffth An
nlversary Of His Sad and A.
fiicted Reign.

BERLIN, May 3.-Though physical
ly as robust as ever, the mental con-
dition of the unhappy King Otto OF
Bavaria. who has just celebrated his
sixty-third birthday and whose TWEEN
ty,tifth anniversary as king occurs in
June, Is declared to be growing
worse.
Excluded from the outside world
In his castle OF Fursteinreid, the
kings only visitors are the court doc
tors, who visit him at stated inter
walls In order to report TO the regent
and government. No one else enters
the monarch's presence; even his own
mother is prevented from seeing him.
He spends hours daily In deadful mel
ancholy, his eyes fixed on the floor
and very seldom uttering a word. On
one recent and rare occasion he dis
played some intelligence and appeared
searching for something. When a
keeper inquired the cause the king
replied slowly and impressively:
II am looking for the past"
Then he relapsed into his custom
airy dependency. Formerly some
show OF court etiquette was observed
but the king'e Indifference TO all his
surroundings rendered this CHASTITY
farce and II was abandoned. He is
never left for a moment alone. Four
keepers in officers uniform contin-
ually attend him.

ANOTHER CHAPTER ADDED
TO TANGLED DIVORCE SUIT
Frank M. Root Refused To Allow His
Wife to Work and He Must Pay
Her SIS Week Allmony.

ANN ARBOR, Mich, May 3.-Frank
NJ. Root. music dealer In this city,
must pay his wife SIS week alimony
In spite of the fact that he earns but
S25 week as manager OF the store
he formerly owned in this city. Judge
Kline OF the circuit court here, has
issued an order for him TO do so on
petition OF the wife, who Is preparing
TO sue him for a divorce third time.
The marital troubles OF the Roots
have furnished food for gossip for
number OF years. Mrs. Root filed
suit for divorce some years ago, but
before II came to trial the pair became
reconciled and went TO living together
again. About two years ago Mrs.
Root fled a second suit, and on the
grounds OF cruelty and abuse was
granted a divorce and alimony In the
circuit court here. Mrs. Root then
engaged I'm the music business In OPP
position TO her husband. He carried
the suit to the supreme court. and that
tribunal recently handed down de-
cree reversing the judgment OF the
lower court and granting an intunc-
| ton restraining Mrs. Root from engag-
ing in business as long as she Is the
wife of Mr. Root The courts deci-
sion. In reality was 10 the effect that
wife Is subject TO her husbands or
ders. and that she cannot even work
| for a living as long as he is willing
TO support her
This, Mr.. Root asserts, he Is willing
to do and since the decree OF the
higher court Mrs. Root has been
placed in the position OF being unable
| to earn q living. She Immediately dis
posed OF her business here, and began
suit for a divorce on the grounds OF
cruelty and abuse, her attorneys hav-
ing discovered alleged grounds for a
divorce in Mr. Roots actions between
| the time the supreme court decree was
granted and the filing Of the latest
suit. At the time of the filing OF Mrs.
Roots suit she asked for and secured
an Injunction restraining him from
disposing of his business. but before
| he could be served with the papers
he had sold his business to Detroit
music house. and had accepted a posi-
ton az manager OF the store at s25
a week
In spite of the fact that he claims
that he no longer has an interest in
the business he refused in court to al
low his wife to go to work, although
her attorneys stated that she would
withdraw her demand for alimony II
he would consent TO II. They also
stated that she would agree to pay
his board II she were allowed 10 go TO
work. On account OF this refusal
Judge Kline granted the alimony OF
SIS week pending the hearing Of
the suit and also ordered Mr. Root
10 pay her solicitors fee OF $50.
