 of the Yale quarter back and the Chilean heiress, which has won them much notoriety in the past, came to an end publicly yesterday when Mrs. Blanquita Erazzuriz de Saulles filed suit in the supreme court for di- vorce from John Longer de Saulles, captain of the Yale football team in 1901. close friend of President Will son, and member of the real estate firm of Heckscher 6 de Saulles at Fifth avenue and Fffty-seventh street
 The filing of the suit brings to light the fact that MT. and Mrs. de Saulles have been separated for some time, and that Mrs. de Saulles came here recently from her home at Valparaiso. Chile, for the purpose of arranging for the divorce action. While the papers in the case are sealed, it was learned that Mrs. de Saulles names two correspondents, described as wo- men unknown to her. The acts of misconduct are alleged to have occur red in several cities in the last few months. It is understood that one or the women involved is a young actress appearing in beauty show, who has been declared one of the most attractive women on the stage. 8 MT. de SauIles' engagement to the daughter of Sonora Blanca Erazzuriz- Vergara, one of the wealthiest women in Chile, was announced by de Saulles himself in December, 1911, in letters to friends in this country. Sonora Erazzuriz-Vergara and her daughter had gone to Paris in October of that year. and de Saul1es followed them later and married the heiress on De- cember IA, 1911, in Paris.
 A year prior to meeting the heiress, de Saulles had gone to Chile as the representative of the South American Concessions Syndicate, concern made up largely of Americans living in London. He was active in pro- noting the Trans-Andean Railroad. connecting the railway systems of Chile and Argentina. Before going there he had been interested with William H. Reynolds in the devel- opment of Long Beach. Sonora Eraz- zuriz lived of her mothers immense Valparaiso.
 
 1907 to Miss Elsie Moore, daughter of Charles A. Moore, and a year be- fore his marriage his engagement to Miss Eleanor Granville Brown, daugh- ter of Waldron P. Brown, was also reported. De Saulles insisted that both reports were spread by his col lege friends as joke.
 When William F. McCombs was planning the Wilson campaign in 1912 he sent for de Saulles, one of his most intimate friends, and the latter organized 72,000 college men for Wilson. In the campaign de Saul- les and President Wilson became close friends. In 1914 President Wilson sent to the Senate the nomination of de Saulles as Minister to Uruguay. He agreed to accept and at the time said he believed he had been selected be- cause President Wilson knew he was in sympathy with the Administration policies toward the South American republics.
 After the Senate had confirmed the appointment de Saulles resigned the post and exylained that his business interests here made 1t impossible for him to accept. It is understood that his declination of the post cal.1e as a surprise to his wife, who had gone to South. America before him and ex- pected him to join her there.
 Mrs de Saulles is the niece of a former president of Chile and of Ra- phael < Arrauiz, at. one time Chilean Minister at Rome. Her mother has been known in Chile as ''the, Star of Santiago because of her great beau ty.
 De Saulles is the son of MT. and Mrs. Arthur de Saulles, of South Bethlehem, Penn. HIS father was Major on the staff of General Polk of the Confederate Army. He is the cousin of ex-Mayor Mcclellan and Capt. Philip M. Lydig and a,nephew of John G. Heckscher and Mrs. >Steph- cn Van Rensselaer,.
