WRIGHT CLOSES
 DOORS ID WIFE
Says Nothing Will Induce Him
 to Admit Her Again

he hand of architectural rrafts- kuanship which wrought its genius in 70 hemispheres, today is raised be- ! hind Taliesens gates, to bar from the estate of Frank Lloyd Wright the wife he no longer loves.
 The embattled portals which twice yesterday withstood assaults of Mi riam Noel Wright, seeking refuge beneath the roof of the husband who failed 10 days ago in an effort to divorce her, swung back last night to admit the architect.
 Fastening home from the east. Wright was prepared today for a state of siege, In which, he said, neither word nor warrant would avail to make him open his home to his wife.
 Moving to new methods Of forcing entrance to her husbands mansion. Mrs. Wright sought legal aid in compelling the protection of the home she left three months after her dramatic marriage to the architect in 1923.
 Housed within Taliesen's walls. Mrs. Wright charges, is Olga Milan off, housekeeper for Wright and a Montenegrin dancer.
 Yesterday, Mrs. Wright went to the gates of the estate and demanded entrance, armed with q warrant for Mime. Milanof and a peace bond for her husband. The padlocked portal blocked her path. and deputy sheriff who was permitted to enter T ported that his search for Mime. ! ilanoff was fruitless.
 Accosting the caretaker Mrs Wright demanded that he admit her but he declined. fingered and weep ing, she shattered with curses the glass in two large signs. announcing positively no admittance." and re- turned 10 Spring Glen, renewing her assertion that Pm going to get in there tonight"
 A physician advised the 54 year old woman not 10 exert herself fur ther, but to take legal steps if she still desired entrance.
 The courts, the courts". she an- swered, wait eternally for the courts and starve to death mean while. I have no money, no place 10 go but Taliesen and they won't let me in.'
 Again, she went 10 Tailesen, al dusk, and approached the rear gate. Again she came to an iron barrier and the guards. Entr"atins were in
 
 Green hotel.
 Today, she planned further coun- sel with attorneys in an effort to make the processes of law aid her.
 The episode adds another troubled chapter to the history of Wrights country seat, which. in its fifteen years has been the scene of murder and arson as well as high romance.
 Built when Wright returned from Jspan with Mrs. Bamah Bortwick Cheney with whom he eloped in 1909, the house was fired in 1914 by i a crazed servant, who slew Mrs. ! Cheney and her two children. Wright ], rebuilt it and occupied it with |. Miriam Noel, Parisian divorcee, and | after the first Mrs. Wright divorced | her husband he lived there with Miriam for ten years.
 They were married in 192S--at midnight. on a bridge spanning the Wisconsin river near the estate, but they lived together only three months after their marriage. Mrs. Wright went to Los Angeles.
 Mrs. Wright was sued for divorce several months ago, charged with assertion. When the case came up for hearing at Madison, she threat ened to file a cross bill naming Mmc. | Milanoff, and he withdrew the suit !. when they failed 10 agree on a finan- II cial settlement and when she would Il not agree to let him obtain di- yorce without mention of the Mon. tenegrin beauty.
 Mrs. Wright announced at the con- ciusion of the action that she would return to Wright's home and compel him to support her. All she desires, she says, is a place to live, and she will live apart in one wing of the bungalow if she may.
