TOWER IS SUED
BY SONS WIFE
Former Ambassador Germany
is Accused of Alienation.
SHE DEMANDS RECOGNITION.
Declares Young Tower Married Her
In 1911 And She Seeks
To Force Recogni-
%ion

Philadelphia. Charlemagne Tower,
former Ambassador to Germany, is
made defendant in suit filed here by
Mrs. Georgeanna Tower, asking dam
ages for alleged alienation Of the af-
fections Of Charlemagne Tower Jr.,
the 26-year-old son Of the former diplo-
mat, whom Mrs. Tower says married
her on June z, 1911
The suit comes as climax to re-
peated reports that young Tower had
been married while student at Yale
and repeated delials by himself and
his parents Of the marriage.
The younger Mrs. Tower is living
quietly with her mother, Mrs. George
A. Burdick, at the Netherlands Apart
ment House. Mr. Towers home is
with his parents at 1913 Locust street.
The statement Of claim is purely
formal, alleging the marriage Of the
two young persons and setting forth
that, through suasion and threats, Mr..
Tower has been induced to leave his
wife and to refuse to recognize her as
SUCH
Mrs. Tower was Georgeanna Bur
dick, more widely known among he1
friends by the name of Dixie" be.
cause of her pronounced Southern ac-
cent. The marriage, according to Mrs.
Tower, was performed at the home Of
her mother, % Whaliey avenue, New
Haven, Conn At that time Mr.. Tower
was student at Yale and Mrs. Tower
says she consented to keep the mar
riage secret until he should be grad
uated, as there is strict rule at Yale
that students who marry while in the
university must leave.
Refused Recognition, She Says.
Since then, she charges, both her
husband and his parents have refused
to recognize her as the wife of the
young man. According to Mrs. Tow
er's lawyer, Mrs. Tower does not de
sire monetary damages SO much as to
compel recognition by her husband
and his family Of her legal status as
his wife.
The suit for alienation was decided
upon as the best means to obtain suck
legal ruling. No damages are speci-
fed in the statement of claim.

CITY OF TORREON IS TAKEN

Laredo, Tex. Federal General Al

to information from reliable sources
brought here With the city Of Tor
reon the rebels captured practically
all Of the Federals' arms and artillery.
The battle lasted four days, with
heavy losses to both sides.
The Constitutionalists captured Tor

cording to an Official report. General
Choa, OF the insurgent forces, told Of
it in making his report to General
Caranza, at Hermosillo. and also put
a new aspect on the capture of Santa
Rosalia.
While the Federals we're fighting
with what they considered the main
rebel force at Santa Rosalia. Chi
huahua, the major group of insurgents
took Torreon and La Paz. The town
of Sierra Mojeda also fell into rebel
hands on Thursday, the message said.
Three hundred refugees, most Of

stitutionalists and are making their
way overland to the border, according

MAY SPLIT THE
MEXICAN ARMY
Huerta Dissolyes CongressAfter
Arresiing Deputies.
CALLS THEM HIS ENEMIES.
Drastic Coup Follows Disappearance
OF Senator Who Attacked
The Provisional Presi-
dent.

Mexico City-Provisiona President
Huerta's latest coup, whereby he rid
himself in spectacular manner of
the legislative bodies of the Govern
ment and constituted himself dictator
of the Mexican republic, has left the
city in state Of tense expectancy.
The dissolution Of the national Con-
gress was not wholly unexpected In
political circles. but the manner of its
accomplishment served to demon
strate the lengths to which the Execu-
tive was prepared to go to maintain
his grasp upon the administrative at
fairs of the nation.
The declaration was made after 10
members of the Chamber of Deputies
had been arrested and lodged in the
penitentiary. A proclamation was
issued just before midnight calling for
new elections OF Senators and Depu-
ties on October 26, which date is CO.
incident with the Presidential cleo
ton.
The capital is alive with rumors.
one being to the effect that three
Deputies. arrested had disappeared.
This report is not given much Gre
dence. President Huerta, before the
arrests were made, had given his word
that none of the Deputies would be
harmed.
Provisional President Huerta de-
clared that the Chamber Of Deputies
had constituted itself one Of the Exc
cutive's worst enemies, hostile to all
his acts and invading his Jurisdiction
even to point of questioning, his
selection of Minister of State.
BY its demagogic tendencies, Gen
eral Huerta said, it had attacked the
basis Of the existence Of the nation
and had taken upon itself all branches
of the Government. He declared his
patience with the body had been tax
ed to the limit.
The unexplained absence from his
seat in the Senate and the disappear
ance from his residence at a local ho-
tel of Senator Belizaro Dominguez,
representing the State Of Chiapas. was
what precipitated the heated debate
at the Chamber of Deputies secret
session. The debate resulted in a
warning being conveyed to Provisional
President Hqerta by unanimous vote
of the body that unless the Deputies
were given assurances of their per-
sonal safety they would hold sessions
elsewhere than in the Capitol.
