Great interest was aroused in the
wedding because of an incident which
occurred in Paris a few months pre-
viously. when de Mumm was wounded
twice by Mrs. Marie Van Rensimer
Barnes, an American woman.
Miss ScoyilIe. was famed for her
beauty and after her marriage il was
said she often was proclaimed the
most beautiful woman in Paris.
De Mumm, in addition to being a
millionaire wine grower. attained no
tice as sportsman, aviator and ball
loonist.
De Mumm was crippled during the
war when an airplane fell with him.
Mrs Mumm was a daughter of c. C.
X. Scoyille, wealthy Seneca banker.
Mrs. Scoville Mumm, the wife of
Count Walter de Mumm. French wine
grower of German birth. had her
American citizenship restored in Oc-
tober last, after the immigration COM
mittee of the house of representatives
at Washington had by unanimous vote
recommended adoption of a resolution
to repatriate her. She proved she had
not lived with de Mumm for several
years.
When the war broke out de Mumm
resumed his German citizenship and
his properties in France were seized.
The French courts held that Mrs. Sco-
vile Mumm by her marriage had as
sumed her husbands nationality and
refused to allow her claims to any
part of the property. The repatria-
ton resolution was introduced in the
American congress to protect her in
terests in de Mumm estate.
The Mumms were married in 1913,
but Mrs. Scoville Mumm obtained a
decree of separation in 1918. She was
a Seneca. Kan. girl.

City Leases Sixty-Two Acres
Adjoining 1t on West.
Has Option to Buy Tract for
$4,000 During Time.
HAS BIG LAKE FOR BOATING
To Connect 1t With Present One
Golf Links, Too.
Addition VIII Be Opened to
Public Immediately.

Gage park was enlarged by seventy
five per cent this afternoon when the
city commissioners, at a special meet
ing, signed a contract with o. E. Walk
er leasing for a ten-year period the
sixty-two acres of land adjoining the
park on the west. This tract will be
thrown open to the public at once. it
was said.
By the terms of the contract the
city has the option of buying the tract
for $4,000 at any time during the
ten-year period. The commissioners
said it was their intention to take ad-
vantage of this clause as soon as the
necessary funds were available. The
rent on the tract is 81 1000 a year and,
amount of the rent will be reduced
with each payment on the purchase
price.
Park Acreage Now 1872.
This makes the total number of
acres in Gage park, 152. 1t originally
consisted of eighty acres, but about
leight years ago the city bought an ad-
ditional ten-acre tract from the ninety
acre tract on the west. With the
sixty-two acres arranged for today de-
Quoted, eighteen acres remain in the
tract, part of which belongs to Mrs.
L. H. Mum. City officials quote Mrs.
Mum as saying she will donate her
share in the land to the park as soon
| as the city has acquired the rest.
| On the new tract is a large lake
much larger than the Gage lake now
| in use. 1t is planned to cut a channel
| between these two lakes, a distance
of about four blocks. for boating pur
| poses. This will also make the water
| in the swimming lake better. Just
when this will be done Robert Nc
| Giffert, commissioner of parks, could
not say.
| To Lay Out Golf Links.
| Golf links may be laid out in the
addition also, it was said. There are
no buildings on the tract, but there
are some fine natural woods and
lawns and the city, by the terms OF
the contract, has the right to make
| improvements as it sees fit.
/ Walker has been accommodating the
land west of Gage park for several
years, it was said. He had expressed
a wish to assist the city in making
| Gage bigger and better park. Altho
| he has been offered $500 an acre for
the land, he has granted the city the
| right to purchase it for park purposes
at approximately $500 an acre.
The purchase of this tract will be
| carried out in the same manner as the
| purchase of Ripley park, on which the
| city paid out last fall. Ripley park
cost $4,000 and was paid out in three
years, whereas the Gage addition
costs only $4,000, with ten years time
| in which to pay out.
