.MCORMICkS
IN NEW FIGHT
ON MARRIAGE
Mother Asks Court to
Stop Union With
Oser.

Chicago, May 31.-CBy The Asso-
clated Press. "A petition for a re-
straining order to prevent the mar
riage of Miss Mathilde Mccormick.
IL years old, to Max Oser, former
Swiss cavalry officer, more than
twice her age, was presented in
probate court late today on behalf
OF her mother, Mrs. Edith Rockfel-
Ter Mccormick.
Probate Judge Horner announced
he would grant letters of guardian
ship of Mathilde to her father,
Harold F. Mccormick, president of
the International Harvester com
pany.
Mrs. Mccormick in her petition
objected to the proposed marriage
because of the disparity in the ages
of the girl and Oser, and because
the marriage would make Mathilde
"a Swiss subject.
She further set forth in her peti-
ton that Mathilde was one of the
heirs of the millions of the Rookie
feller family while Oser was COM
paratively a poor man.
Chicago, May 31.-(By the Asso-
ciated Press. Mrs. Edith Rookie
feller Mccormick will ask court
action TO prevent the marriage of
her daughter Mathilde, to Max
Oser, Swiss riding master, in an
amended appeal to be presented in
court today. No objection will be
made to the appointment of Har-
old F. Mccormick, divorced hus-
band of Mrs. Mccormick. as Ma
thilde's legal guardian, but pro-
riage will be made formally in
court
The statement, dictated by Mrs
Mccormick from her Lake Forest
home today to Charles S Cutting,
her attorney, was to be read when
the guardianship case came up in
probate court this afternoon.
The fact that Mrs. Mccormick
will formally protest to the court
against Miss Mathilde's marriage
to the Swiss horseman was taken
to strengthen the supposition that
a legal guardian was appointed To
facilitate Miss McCormick's mar
riage.
Father FaVors Marriagel
since her return to America sew
eral months ago, Miss Mccormick
has made her home with her father
and his appointment was accepted
as merely another step in the mar
riage arrangements.
Authorities to substantiate Mrs.
McCormick's request for interfer-
ence in Miss Mathilde's proposed
marriage are included in the state
ment, which contends that the pro-
bate judge has the power to inter
vene between a guardian and his
ward when marriage is involved.
Edwin H Cassells, attorney for
Harold F. Mccormick, declined to
make any comment on the latest
move of Mrs. Mccormick. He said

With Rejection.

Associated Press. An unfavorable
reply by Chile to the Peruvian pro-
poSal TO arbitrate the sovereignty
Of Tacna-Arica is understood to

session of the Chilean-Peruvian
conference.
The Chilean reply, although not
considered of a final character, was
received with manifest disappoint-
ment in Peruvian circles. The
meeting ended, however, without
definite action.
There were indications that de-
spite the Chilean refusal to arbl-
trate the question Of a plebiscite in
Tacna-Arica, the door to further
exchanges on forms of arbitration
had been left open by certain coun-
ter suggestions on the part OF the
