ment was made here tonight that
Clarence Mackay. telegraph magnate,

the French lawyer who represented
Mrs. Mackay.
Though there have for years been
rnmors of a lack OF harmony in the
Mackay household. there is no doubt
that the divorce is due directly to the
million dollar alienation suit brought
by the wife of the Mackay's physician,
DR.. Joseph A. Blake, against Mrs.
Mackay in the summer of 1913.
