NEW YORK, Jan. 1o.-When Phi
lander c. Knox, Jr,, son of the former
Secretary of State, sailed this week
for Bermuda without his wife, it was
the sequel of a separation which has
already lasted six weeks, and which,
it is understood, will eliminate in the
courts.
Young Knox was accompanied By
his mother.
The romance which is so unhappily
ending began in March, 1910, when
young Knox eloped with pretty Miss
May Boiler, salesgirl in a Providence
Or. ID store.
Knox was then a student and there
was much parental anger following
his escapade. The family purse
strings were knotted against him, But
the young man went to work in an
automobile factory.
There was later a partial recon
Citation between the then Secretary
of State and his son, and this was
Gus reunion at Wayne, near Phna
delphia
For three years young Mr. and Mrs.
Knox have lived careless and some
what reckless life at Wayne, with
much time and money given to the
acquisition and wearing out of high
powered automobiles. Close personal
friends of the Konxes thought the
young people were living in harmony
but personal friends are sometimes
deceived.
The first intimation of a break came
unexpectedly a few days ago. when q
friend Of young Mrs. Knox drove to
her Midland avenue house, Wayne
and to her, surprise found the house
vacant and stripped Of all its furnish
ings.
That led to inquiries, but they were
so quietly prosecuted that it was n1t
until after young 'KnoX's departure for
Bermuda that the extent of the up
break was discovered
1t was learned that two weeks ago
Mrs. Knox, Jr., took an apartment ON
the fourth floor of house, No. 100
pine street, Philadelphia, and that
four weeks before that her husband
had gone to live at the home of mis-
father in Valley Forge.
II was also learned in Philadelphia
that for some time there had been
what may be called financial stria-
gency in the affairs of the young
Knoxcs. A number OF civil suits -
