are staying with his mother-in-law.
A combination of unfortunate cir
cUmstances which resulted in his
back being injured, Mr.. Knox said
yesterday, has prevented him from
seeing his wife in West Virginia
before this.
He says that while motoring there
he was accosted by car full CT
bandits who overlook him and tried
to force him to stop and that they
hurled a rock through the wind
shield, causing him to further strain
an already wrenched back.
To Appear Thursday.
Justice Stafford, in Supreme
Court here. issued e. rule for
Knox to. appear next Thursday
and show cause why he should
not be required to pay his wife
an amount sufficient for the sup
port of herself and children.
The most sensational charge made
by Mrs. Knox in her suit is that
her husband on June last.
STRUCK plaintiff and knocked her
down, injurfng her."
Knox was first married in 1910.
when he eloped with Gertrude May
Boiler, shop girl Of Burlington, VT.
Parental ire was ailayed with
much difficulty, and later the
young people went with the Secra-
tary of State on his famous tour
of South and Central America.
In 1916 young Knox went to
Reno, where he obtained a divorce,
taking with him his prospective
bride and her family. The second
took place shortly after
the decree was granted.

walk this morning, escaped an ac-
cident which undoubtedly would
have resulted in serious injury.
Accompanied by her Secret Serv.

private roadway leading up to
White Court when four members
of the Massachusetts, State con-
stabulary, mounted on motorcycles,
tore around the bend in the road
at high rate OF speed.
Haley shouted a warning to Mrs.
Coolidge and both jumped, one to
each side of the road. The four
motorcycles swerVed in and passed
between the two, missing each only
by a hairs breadth.
The motor officers, who will con-
voy the Presidential party to Cam
bridge this afternoon, did not slack
en- their speed, but continued on to
the front door of White Court.

TO SPEND REST OF HER
 LIFE GOING TO COLLEGE
Mrs. Hedges, Widow Of Famous New York Wit, Eurolls At
 Columbia Uni, crsity,

New York, Sept. 19 Pl-Mrs. Ida Hedges, widow of Job F.. Hedges, noted wit and lawyer and republican candidate for governor Of New York in 1912 plans 10 study al college for the rest of her life.
 Though woman of mature years Mrs. Hedges has enrolled for her second year as Columbia univer- .slty extension student. She started last year to further the intellectual .companionship which existed be- tween her and Mir. Hedges who died last February c2 at Atlantic City, N. J. He was much interested in economies and history and she IS de- voting four afternoons week tn academic study of these subjects. "rhc majority of young girls are as much interested in dances and parties as in college. which is as it should ho," Mrs. Hedges said. "The older woman's angle is different.
 It is more wonderful than had anticipated. The hours of study do not in the least interfere with home life and suit the con, enience of the most conscientious housewives. Once "a woman of mature mind becomes interested in studying 1t is more fascinating as time goes on. Now prefer it to anything else in the world."
 Human companionship Is what makes life worth living. If that is possible between husband and wife, married life can be ideal. That is what mine was"
 Mrs. Hedges, who was formerly Mrs. Ida Jane button. was well fare worker. She married Mir. Hedges at Norristown. Pa, October 10 1922, when he was so years old
