Son of Former Secretary Of State
Separated From SaIesgirl
Bride Six Weeks.

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, a 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 partial recon
Citation between the then Secretary
of State and his son. and this was
followed by a more or less harmoni-
Gus reunion at Wayne, near Phiia-
delphia.
For three years young Mr.. and Mrs.
Knox have lived a 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 sometime
deceived.
The first intimation of break came
Unexpectedly few days ago, when a
friend of young Mrs. Knox drove 10
her Midland avenue house, Wayne,
and to her surprise found the house
vacant and stripped of all it's furnish
ings.
That led to inquiries, but they were
SO quietly prosecuted that it was not
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 a house No. 100
Pine street, Philadelphia, and that
four weeks before that her husband
had gone to live at the home of his
father in Valley Forge.
1t was also learned in philadelphia
that for some time there had been
what may be called a financial stria-
gency in the affairs of the young
Knoxes. A number Of civil suits %
recover overdue bills were started W
tradesmen.

LOCAL POsTOFF|CE
TO Be REM0DELED
Experts Come to Atlanta to Make
PIans-New Building on
South Side Urged.

The new postoffice building already
Is sadly outgrown, and a committee
from the Postoffice Department in
Washington was in Atlanta Saturday
going over the situation with Boiling
H. Jones, postmaster, to the expected
end that 5000 square feet of space
will be added TO the present building,
with good prospects Of an appropria
ton in the course of the next year for
another postoffice building.
The committee has with it an ar
chitect, who is to make plans for
remodeling the interior of the Fed
eral Building. A mezzanine floor
probably will be constructed between
the ground and second floors, afford
ing 1000 more square feet of space,
and another 1000 square feet will be
provided in the basement to handle
the rapidly growing parcel post bust
ness.
Mr. Jones also wants an automatic
carrying system installed, to trans
port the outgoing mails directly from
the mailing windows to the distribut
ing tables.
The new postoffice, for which Mr..
Jones is working with effective CO.
operation in Washington, would be
designed to handle all the incoming
and outgoing mail on the south side
Of the city, leaving the present build
ing to the Federal courts and offices,
and to handle the mail on the north
side Senator Hoke Smith and Con
gresham Howard assured Mr. Jones
of their support.

sincerity in every detail, and their
natural deficiency in moments of
melodramatic stress that a shortCom-

story of Effie, the clergymans daugh-

plant, in a rather innoCuous first act,
that there are certain vague impulses
within her that make her feel she Is

that.
There is something she wants, and
she doesn't know what 1t can be.
She is lonely, the little darling, say

Graham is indicated, as he is a fine

So he doesn't use the suicidal re-

And all the blame falls on mother
and father who haven't told Effie
before this all the things she ought
to know.
And because everything is so sin

callowness of the play.
