DIVORCE ASKED
BY MRS. WYLIE
Suit Writes Another Chapter
in Sensational Society
Elopement Case.

The sensational elopement of Horace
Wylie' wealthy clubman and Mrs. Elinor
NJ Hichborn, wife of Philip S Hichborn
which aroused Washington society in
December, 1870 was recalled yesterday
when Mrs. Katharine V. H. wylie filed
suit in the District Supreme Court for
an absolute divorce from Horace Wylie,
Mr. Wylie is son of the late Andrew
Wylie. Justice of the Supreme Court
Of the District. Mrs. Hichborn. who is
named as a correspondent 10 a daughter
of the late Henry NJ. Hoyt, solicitor OF
the Department of Justice, under Roose-
welt and Taft.
Mrs. Wylie, in her petition. cites that
Philip S. Hichborn in January 1872 filed
a petition for absolute divorce from Mrs
Hichborn based on the eIopement, and
Mrs. W"lie's petition also recites that
while this case was pending, Hichborn
committed suicide. He is a son of Rear
Admiral Hichborn.
The petition filed today by Mrs wylie
declares that she lived with her husband
in this city 'in mutual affection, as
petitioner supposed" until December
1910. when, she asserts, her hubsand dis
appeared from their home, leaving a
written confession that he had eloped
with Mrs. Hichborn, who had left her
husband. She declares that it became
a matter of public notoriety that the
defendants had eloped together going
first to Canada and then to Europe
In 1911, Mrs. Wylie says in her petition
her husband twice came to the United
States from Europe. to see her with the
avowed intention OF effecting a recon-
ciliation. and in the summer of 1911 he
went along with her and the children
while travelling in Europe. He suddenly
departed. she alleges, September &c, 1911,
leaving a message to the effect that
the separation from her was final, and
he must go back to and live permanently
with said correspondent" Mrs. Wylie
asserts that wylie rejoined Mrs. Hich-
born.
Mrs Wylie informs the court that
unless a divorce with custody of the
children, Mrs. Wylie. should he survive
her, might claim a parental authority,
which, she asserts, he has forfeited
both In law and in morals. To pre-
clude any such claim on the children,
she AYERS, is the reason for filing the
suit.

TROOP MOBILIZATION
INQUIRY DEMANDED

A flood of complaints reaching members
OF Congress as to conditions under which
the National Guard is being sent to the
Mexican border, prompted Representa-
tive Moore, Of Pennsylvania, to begin yes
terday a determined effort to secure &C
ton in the House on his resolution de-
manding information as to how the mill
tia is being cared for.
Representative Moore asserted that
practically every member of Congress is
receiving complaints, many OF them from
men in the militia. He demanded that
Chairman Hay. of the Military Affairs
Committee, which has the resolution un-
der consideration, speedily place the
measure before the House.
1T is apparent from the tone OF the
complaints reaching Washington" said
Representative Moore. that the conditions
under which the militia has been sent to
the border are, in many cases, deplor-
able. Letter after letter tells OF lack OF
water and lack Of food on the troop
trains which are crowded 20 point
where the men are unable TO obtain any
rest en- route.
THE men are apparently being moved
in the flimsiest Of ancient wooden cars,
and practically no provision has been
made for their comfort, according to
charges made by various complainsnts.
Certainly the War Department should
be made to tell US just what the condi-
tions are, and who Is TO blame II they
are as charged"

The tourist season just closed has been the most successful in the history of the North. which country has been visited dur ing the past few months by thousands of people who never saw it before but who will remember it as long as they live. While a portion of the people who come here or who visit any country, return to their homes without seeing anything and without any enthusiasm about the land to which and through which they travel their num- Der is very small Nine-tenths of the people who visit Alaska and Yukon return com firmed boosters of the entire north They tell their friends of the wonders of the great silent land and urge others to see it for themselves To the average person enthusi- asm oyer the North never wanes for the reason that nowhere on earth does freedoms thrill so completely fill the average heart as in the North, Every years residence in the North doubles the patriotism and love for it of the majority of us. The person who has lived here two years thinks twice as much of the country as the person who has lived here but one year and the twenyyear res idents patriotism is double that of his ten year neighbor.

Juneau is to be congratulated on securing permission from congress to vote bonds for the purpose of building new school house; also on having as a resident such a lobbyist as Councilman J. H.

ANOTHER NATIONAL VICTORY

It is not for any political party to accord to itself honor for the settlement of the rail- road crisis which a week ago threatened to eneulf the entire country in temporary ruin which would have eventually led to want and starvation. but for the entire United States of America which, through its agent, President Wilson, has escaped impending dcsolation and ruin, to congratulate itself on having at it's head man who was equal to the occasion. President Wilson's victory in the railroad matter and at time when all hope was practically gone stamps him as the peer of the immortal Lincoln.
 Not since the days of Lincoln has any president been confronted with crisis after crisis as Wilson has been and not since the dav, of Lincoln has there been a president who has possessed the statcsmanship and ability to meet and dispose of so many n- tricate questions as has Wilson He has done so. not as the representative of the party to which he owes his election. but as the head of the greatest republic on earth without re- gard Co party. elan or creed. Many of his principles have been bitterly opposed by leading Democrats but he has not swerved one iota from the path of right as seen by himself. And who is there that now says hi, attitude ou four-ffths of the important questions. local and International. which have arisen in the past two years has not been the right onc-the one which has not only preserved the dignity of the country. but which has kept the country free from war-and such war as the world has never before known?
 Personally. we were not an admirer of the school-tcochcr candidate four years ago, looking upon him as a thcorst and dreamer. There were millions like Us, millions who voted for him as the lesser of three evils, but who will thank God for the privilege of vot- ing for him again and since he has proven his worth. his ,tatesman-hip, his love for humanity and his regard for right in the face of such opposition as few men have eyer met. The settlement of the railroad trouble was just one more big achievement for man accustomed to doing big things.
