The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1915-07-24

In a beautiful home in Lake For
est lives a mana recluse. Broken in
business and in spirit by a friend who
betrayed him, he exists surrounded
by a few servants. The silent home
and vacant grounds are rapidly at
tanning an air of mystery which nov
elists so love to write about.
The man is Edward S. Adams, a
member of the Board of Trade. His
friend who betrayed him is Robert
R. Mccormick, publisher of the Chi
cagO Tribune.
Adams knew Mccormick from boy
hood. In the year 1904 Mccormick
began to spend his summers at the
Lake Forest residence of his older
friend. Until in 1910 he was almost
a continuous guest of the family and
accompanied them to Tower Court,
their Chicago home. From 1910 I'm
til 1913 he lived with them cOntinu-
Ously. He kept one Of his autos in
Adams garage and horses in his sta
BILE.
In the fall of 1913 Mrs. Adams
packed up and left. Afew days later
a divorce bill charging drunkenness
was filed. Mccormick remained at
Tower Court to cheer up his friend.
Adams says his real purpose was to
influence him in letting the divorce
suit go uncontested. He succeeded
in this, according to Adams, and al
most Immediately after the bill was
granted Mccormick left. Adams be-
gan to hear rumors. He investigated.
On Aug. IA, 1914, he filed $780,
900 damage suit against Mccormick.
The suit charged the publisher with
alternating the affections of Mrs. Ad-
ans and conspiring with her to OBJ
tain a divorce.
Today Mrs. Adams is Mrs. McCOr-
mick. The marriage took place in
London a little more than month
ago. Mccormick had his paper LAY
off, the story. The Herald published
it. but did not mention the 1O-yeaT

100000 suit against him he hired
Michael Gesas, one of the best bank
ruptcy attorneys in the city, to have
Adams declared a bankrupt. 1t de-
veloped from the arguments in front
of Federal Judge Lands that the
owner of the crib" held $4,000 IN
prOmissory notes signed by Adams.
The dates of the notes cOrresponded
with the dates given by Adams when
Mccormick lived at Adams home.
After a legal battle lasting week
a receiver was appointed to take
charge of Adams brokerage office IN
the Board of Trade building.
Adams then moved to Lake Forest
to await the day when his suit would
be called.
Yesterday it was brought up before
Superior Court Judge DeVer and dis
missed without costs by stipulation"
Attorneys say that this probably
means a settlement was made.
Haight, Brown & Haight, attor-
neys for Adams, today announced
that they didn't even know that the
suit had been called. They are now
trying to get in touch with Adams.
There is still another suit pending
against Adams. This is for $4,000.
1t was filed by Frank Pizza, formerly
employed as chauffeur by Mccormick
and who alleges false arrest and inn
pTisOnment.
Pizza says he was arrested on
warrant taken out by a man named
Fitzgerald on Aug. 1, 1914. He says
that the warrant charged him with
receiving a commission on auto sup
plies purchased for Mccormick:
Pizza alleges that Fitzgerald was en-
pIoyed by Mccormick to take out the
warrant.
Instead of being brought to the po-,
lice station he was brought to room
in the city hall and quizzed by Nick,
Hunt, head of a private detective
agency, about what he knew regard

ORCHARD TRACT ITEMS

The Orchard Tract owners are
pleased to know that A. A. Spencer
ccntemplates going into the commits
sion business, as they believe him to
be hustler, honest and that he will
dc the right thing by every one. He
has already found a market for sew
eral carloads of potatoes.
Geo. Pulls is holding down his home
stead on Whisky Hill.
The friends of Miss May Potter are
glad to know that she has returned
to her home on the tracts.
While Mr.. Graham, who recently To-
Gated here, was moving a load of
goods to Mrs. Andersons ranch, east
OF town. with Chester Clendenning's
team, Sunday the horses took fright
and ran away. 1t seems that Mr.. Ora
ham was walking and driving the
team, and was dragged some distance
The animals finally got away and ran
to the hills When found one horse
vas badly cut and the other one had
a leg broken. The animal was shot.
This is quite heavy loss to Mr.. Glen
denning, as the team was extra well
matched.

GOOD ROADS ENTHUSIAST

One of the most earnest and en-
thusiastic good roads champions in
the north part of the county is Clay
Fruit, of Tonasket. Mr.. Fruit not only
believes in main trunk roads to bene-
fiji the automobile travel, but he is an
advocate of permanently built feeders
on the broad principle that good roads
are lasting benefit to the farming
community, adding to the value of
farm property. There is no town
in the county that can boast of better
road facilities than Tonasket, and it
was largely through the energetic
work of Mr.. Fruit that those roads
have been secured. While here the
latter part of last week Mr.. Fruit ex-
pressed his satisfaction over the pros
pect of great improvement on state
road No. 10 between Tonasket and
Oroville, and declared that if he own
cd land anywhere along that route he
would cheerfully donate right-of-way,
if by so doing he could in the least as
sist in securing better grades or sur
face for that road. That is the right
spirit to manifest and should be an
example for emulation to every resi-
dent along that important avenue of
travel that is certain to become one
O. the great public highways of the
state in future years, linking the high
way system on both sides of the in
tcrnational boundary.

Mrs. J. F. Samson returned home
Saturday via the Orovile- Wenatchee
branch after an absence of some two
months in California, visiting among
relatives and friends. While in the
south Mrs. Samson visited both the
San Diago exposition and the San
Francisco Panama-Pacific Interna-
tonal exposition. She describes the
San Diago exposition as wonderful in
all its appointments, but the San
Francisco exposition is a glimpse in
to wonderland. The buildings and
scenic surroundings are marvelously
beautiful, the exhibits beyond descrip-
ton, and the crowds in attendance
enormous. She was particularly i'm
pressed with the Canadian building
ard the wealth of exhibits therein.
Mrs. Samson returns in improved
health from her southern trip.
