BALM
Albanian Sues Mother-in-Law in
New York for Alienation of
Ex-Wife's Affections.

NEW YORK, Nov. 22.-Telamon
Cuyler, a young lawyer, formerly of
Atlanta, brought suit in the Supreme
Court to-day against Isabella T.
Barton, his former mother in law, for
100000 damages, alleging that she
alienated from him the affections of
his wife, Grace T. Barton.
lebanon Smith Cuyler, a promi-
nent Atlanta clubman and member of
an old family in Georgia, was di-
vorced from his wife last SUMMER
when she instituted suit in Alameda,
Cal, which he did not contest.
The proceedings came after a SEN
sational chase by deputies for Mrs.
Cuyler to serve a summons on her
husband which extended over the
globe. Incompatibility of tempera-
ment is said to have been the chief
basis for the suit
Mrs Cuyler, who possessed a large
estate in California, is understood
since to have disposed of her property
there and returned to New York City.
Cuyler later came to Atlanta, where
he engaged in some research work
Which he is now preparing to pub
lish. On October 16 ne was reported
to have filed suit against his mother
inlaw in Chicago, alleging aliena-
ton of his wife's affections, but, the
report later said. the suit was with
drawn for lack of service.
Cuyler was first drawn into the
limelight when he applied to the Leg
islature to have his name changed
from Cuyler Smith to Smith Cuyler.
This was granted. He has a number
of relatives in Atlanta who bear the
name of Smith.

In part he said.
Il thought 1t very doubtful if the
chauffeur intended any familiarity
with the young woman, but fined him
small amount for annoying her by
so persistently calling out to her,
Taxi, want a taxi?' whenever she
passed by.
Il fined the young woman in still
smaller amount ($375) for taking the
law into her own hands and creating
an unnecessary disturbance and eX-
element on the street. l say unnec-
