AMERICAN WOMAN
DIVORCED IN ROME
Church AnnuIs Wedding Of
Countess de Frasso, Daughter
of Mrs. Henry Siegei.

NEW YORK, March 22.-s the in
ternational marriage a success? One
CT Americas foremost exponents OF
alliances with foreign nobility, who
for years urged Yankee girls to
seek European mates. is now sep
erated from her husband and an
annulment has been granted by the
Roman Catholic Church.
It was fearned today that the
marriage OF Count Dentice di Frasso
and the former Miss Georgina Wilde,
daughter of Mrs. Henry Siegel, was
annulled in Rome within the last
two weeks.
This information was given out oy
Mr. Siegel, who stated that efforts
had been made for many months by
both sides to get the decree.
The wedding on April 20. 1905. was
one Of the outsta nding social events
Of the London season. During the
war the erstwhile Countess worked
energetically among the Italian sold
iers and went to the front frequently
with her husband.
On her Hips to America she de-
Tended the marriages of American
girls with <ftled foreigners and re-
sented criticism of such alliances.
The Count, a member OF the italian
Parliament, Is a scion of one of the
oldest and wealthiest families in
Italy.
But according to Henry Siegel. the
matrimonial path was not a smooth
one, and about two years ago the two
separated. The annulment. he said,
was granted on the grounds of in
compatibility, and was entirely salts
factory to the count and countess.
Tho former Georgina Wilde has re-
mained abroad.
The count is in New York, a guest
of Mr.. and Mrs. Bertrand l.. Taylor,
of $40 Park avenue. He arrived here
about a week ago. Rumors are afloat
OF the coming engagement of the
count to Dorothy Taylor. daughter Of
Mrs. Taylor. Mr.. Siegel said last night
that he had heard of the rumors, but
had been unable to determine their
veracity.
Drothy Taylor is the FORMER wife
of Claude Graham White, well-known
English aviator They were married
in June, 1912. and separated in 1917.
The count yesterday refused to dis
cuss the rumor. The Taylor family
was silent on the subject.

Don't bother the other fellows"
was the attitude of the Congregation
alists.
The Baptists said not a word.
The report that the clergy intended
making a pronouncement in the aues-
ton of blue laws and tobacco arose
from the presence in Chicago of Mrs
Margaret Munns, national treasurer of
the Woman's Christian Temperance
Union.
But even she denied in a statement
that her organization was planning
a special campaign. 1t merely would
continue its endeavors along educa-
uonal lines she said, in accordance
with its regular program. Mrs Munns
said, however, there would be a spe-
cial week of prayer and that a cam
paign was being started to increase
the membership of the w. C. T. u.
from 100000 to 100000.
CAMPAIGN EDUCATIONAL.
"The week of prayer" said Mrs.
Munns, "is an annual procedure and
has been SO for a great many years.
We always have had a department
which fought for protection of the
Sunday and for the bet
ter observance of that day, but there
is no special campaign on.
The same is true of the anti-to-
bacco work. We are not sending out
any tons of literature, nor are we
making any legislative fight on to-
bacco- Our campaign has been and
viii be purely educational and direct
ed to save the youth of the nation.
I'VE are, laying special emphasis
on law enforcement, better morals
and better citizenship"
Miss Anna Gordon, head of the
organization, is in New York. Mrs.
Munns said, preparatory to a trip
South America.
The week of prayer. called on be-
half of Sunday observance, begins
April 3.
FOR ALL CHRISTIANS.
This call for prayer is for all
says the w. CT. U. an

ance Of the Christian Sabbath funda-

ment to be as mandatory as any of

WARF|ELD|DEA
Leaders View His Plan as Ad-
mission That Government
Control Is Salvation.
BY InterntiensI News Service.

BY intentional News Service.
Leaders of railroad labor who have
long advocated Government owner
ship and control of the roads look
upon the 'Warfield plan" as a big
forward step toward the end OF
private control of the nations car
riers.
END PRIVATE CONTROL.
The proposals of Warfield, who is
head of the Association of Railroad
Security Holders. would virtually
place the control of the roads in the
hands OF a governmental super-gov-
erning body. Labor leaders view his
plan as the first move on the part
Of those in the owning class to take
the operation Of the roads away from
those now in control.
Il have been unable to ascertain
what plan Warfield has for dealing
with labor" said william NJ. Clark,
representing the Brotherhood Of Con-
ductors. today. But the plan as
outlined appears to be a distinct
move toward end of private control"
ADMIT BREAKDOWN.
Officials of the Plumb Plan League,
who have conducted persistent propa-
ganda in favor of Government owner
ship. voiced similar sentiments. They
said the Warfield statement was "a
frank admission that private owner
ship and control have broken down"
The Association of Railroad Execu-
tives and Senator Cummins, Repub-
lican. of Iowa, chairman of the Sem
ate Interstate Commerce Committee,
refused to be brought into a discus
sion of the railroad control plan ad-
vocated by the security holders. 1t
is known that the executives have
that the Esch-Cummins bill
should be given, further opportunity
to demonstrate it's value before being
revised.
Edward Keating, OF the Plumb Plan
League, said the deficit in operation
by the roads during the
six months following Federal con-
troll. which was paid out of the Fed
eral treasury, was almost as great
as the deficit in operation for the
twenty-six. months OF Federal con-
troll
"This further demonstrates that
private ownership has broken down."
Keating said.
