GUGGENHE|M WINS
W|FE'S SUIT
JUDGE IN CHICAGO DlSMlSSES
PROCEEDINGS TO HAVE d.
VORCE ANNuLLED.

Chicago, Jan. 1.-THE application
have her divorce from William Gug-
genheim annulled was dismissed by
Judge Heard here today for want of
equity.
Mrs. Guggenheim based her applica-
ton on the allegation that when she
obtained her decree she sWore erron-
eously that she was a resident of
Illinois.
The then Grace Brown married the
millionaire mining n smelling man
in 1900 and the decree of divorce was
entered the next year with alimony
in the lump sum of $150,000.
Since the divorce both parties to the
suit nave remarked.
According to Jacob Newman of
counsel for William. Guggenheim, Mrs.
Guggenheim's first husband was
Charles Herbert of Washington. D. c.
A divorce separated them. Her mar
riage with Guggenheim came next, but
Mr.. Newman states they lived to-
gether only three days. After this
divorce Mrs. Guggenheim married
Jules Roger Wahl, a Frenchman resi-
lent in New York.
"They lived together for four years."
related Mr.. Newman, when Wahl re-
turned to France Whether the re-
port is true that WahIs parents had
his marriage annulled in France I do
not know"
G~uggenheim married Miss Amy
Steinberger, by whom he has a son,
William, Jr.
1t was after Mrs. Guggenheim had
married Wahl that she filed suit in
New York state for divorce from Gug-
genheim, claiming that the Illinois
divorce was illegal. The case went to
the supreme court of that state. where
her bill was dismissed. In 1909 she
filed another suit to set aside the
original Illinois divorce, but Judge
Honor denied her right to file her
petition after the lapse of eight years.
She sent this case to the appellate
court, where it is still pending.
In the present suit Mrs. Grace
Guggenheim claimed hat Guggenheim
knew she was not a resident of Illinois
when the divorce was obtained. Mrs.
Guggenhefm, or Wahl, claims that
she does not want money but wishes
to ascertain beyond doubt whether the
divorce was legal.
Judge Heard, in giving the decision.
criticized the divorce laws of Illinois
and urged hat steps be taken to
change them. He declared that both
Mr.. and Mrs, Guggenheim procured
the divorce of 1910 by raud. He also
held that if fraud We're practiced in
securing the divorce, Mrs. Guggen-
helm WAS a party to it.
This factor weighed largely with
the cour in his decision against the
the complaint, who was not in court
when the decision was rendered.

The arrest of young Repsold followed
n series of crimes in Sacramento and
burglarics in Oakland on the one of
which he struck down Miss Constant
Meesc in her home and severely in
jured her. In zach home robbed by
Repsold there remained the strong
aroma of violet perfume after his de-
parture, and this. combined with the
fact that the burglars tools found
upon him when he was caught were
all perfumed, earned him the sobriquet
of the "perfumed burglar" AT the
time of his arrest Repsold was said to
be engaged to two girls, each of good
family.
Repsold was tried and convicted of
burglary in Sacramento in February.

n 0 S0NDERCLASS
YACHT|N SIGHT
GERMANS PROTEST AGAINST
LOW "sLARY LIMIT" OF THIS
CLASS OF BOAT.

Berlin, Jan 11.-There is a likelihood
that the next summers international
regatta will furnish no sonderclass OPP
ponents for the Americans.
At present not one sonderclass
yacht is being built by n of Ger
many's greatest yacht constructors,
and none will be unless conditions
alter. The German yachtsmen have
long protested that the existing price
limit for sonderclass racers-$1, 300
was too low to enable them to COM
pete with the higher priced American
yachts, and the builders also demand
ed hat the limit be raised. A few
weeks ago the price-limit was in
creased with the consent of the EN-
peror to $1,40O, but the builders are
still dissatisfied with this figure. They
demand q limit of $1,625.
Whether the emperor, to whose in
itiative and encouragement sender
class racing in Germany owes it's de-
velopment, will consent to the new
price-limit is doubtful. If he does
not, there will probably be no Ger
man competitors with the American
yachts.
