REVIVAL OF DU POINT
DIVORCE CASE HINTED
Former Husband Of Wealthy Girl
Declares Reno Writ Was
Fraudulent.
By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK. August 20.-A three
line public notice printed in a local
paper today intimated a resumption
OF the court fight between Harold S.
Glendenning and his former wife, Alice
Maddox Du Pont Glendenning, with
custody of their small son the OBJ
ject Of the fight.

Maddox Glendenning formerly known
as Alicia Du PonO having left our
home and refusing to return, / will
not be responsible for any debts con-
tracted by her.-Harold S. Glenden-
Ming"
Glendenning today limited comment
on his marital affairs to the state
ment that the divorce obtained by
his wife in Reno, New, last Septem-
Der was fraudulent. invalid and
worthless" but intimated that he
planned some action.
The marriage of Glendenning. a
Rhodes scholar. to the stepdaughter
of Alfred I. du Pont of Wilmington,
Del, was the outcome Of war
romance which began when Glenden-
ming was assigned to duty in the
chemical department of the du Point
munitions plant, where he met Alicia
Maddox du Pont.
An effort said to have been made
by Dean Robbins Of the Cathedral of
st. John the Divine to bring about q
reconciliation between the couple was
reported to have failed.
Mrs. Glendenening now has custody
of her child under the terms of a
court order.

The enthusiasm of Policeman Rob.

sore right hand for Bryant and a
swollen jaw for Policeman Z. w.
Ambrose, where good right swing

Ambrose and Bryant were part of

which resulted in the arrest of Joseph

keeping a disorderly house and per-

charges Of disorderly conduct.
Police who were notified by tele.

found a general mix-up upon arrival,
alleged to have been the result of a
dispute about money in a black. ack
game. Fists were flying every which

an attempt to rescue Nicholas and
his family
The official Soviet report merely
says:
'In June information reached the
Ural Soviet that an organization
formed to liberate the Romanoffs was
about to act"
This is the first time the alleged
leader Of the plot has been identi-
fed and an explanation given of how
the plot was discovered.
The morning of the 18th the
official inspection party, with Count
ess Godniowa, We're breakfasting in
the railway station. Yurowsky enter
ed and sat down at their table. Count
ess Godniowa subsequently made
careful notes Of his exact language.
These are the quotations given above.
AS She was the only woman at the
breakfast table, Yurowsky addressed
most of his story to her. Seeing her
shrink back as he told of firing five
shots into the cars body, he &C.
cused her angrily of monarchist SYM
pathies. She kept silent and the in
cident passed over.
Yurowsky expressed astonishment
at the behavior Of the Car. Like
all bolsheviks, he had great contempt

stitious awe he had for him as the
semi-sacred Little White Father of
all the Russias." But in his last
moments Nicholas behaved with dig.

On the still remaining mystery OF
the execution, the fate of the Grand
Duchess Anastasia, Countess God
NOVA has no conclusive testimony.
Recently several women have ap-
peared in Central Europe claiming to
be the grand duchess and telling or
miraculous escapes and Ekaterinburg.
Report Is Vague.
The official Soviet report says
daughters Of the Car, without
specifying them by name, were exc

Countess Godniowa is positive Yur-
owsky said only the Car, the faith
full physician, Botkin, and two or
three members of the Cars body-
guard were killed the night of the
10th.
She says subsequently she was told
the grand duchesses were executed
few nights later, and she believes
the Anastasias who have appeared
recently are imposters. However, she
herself left Ekatrinburg with the in
snection train the day after the
cars execution, while Yurowsky still
was maintaining the usual guard at
the "house of special appointment,
and the general public was ignorant
of the Cars death.
Her understanding that Anastasia
died with the rest of her family is
based only on the general belief held
in the Urals at that time.

was made quite evident when he re-

appealing to him to reconsider his de-

in his tone when he said that, and
there. has been a trace Of it since
when he was talking privately with
friends about the responsibilities Of
being President.
Invitations to Be Declined.
To carry out the Presidents desire
for a real vacation next week no in
vitations to make formal stops along
the way or visits to adjoining States
are to be accepted. No business is to
be transacted on this trip and no COM
munications are to be handed to him
unless they are highly important. In
fact, aside from the train schedule to
and from the park, the President has
not agreed to the making of an
itinerary for his trip. He wants moth
ing suggestive of routine. He wants
to move about as he sees fit. He re-
fuses to turn his trip into regular
tourists sightseeing trip. He wants
to sit and rest, to ride over some of
the back trails and to do little fish
ing now and then.
The President will be accompanied
by Mrs. Coolidge and their son John.
Col. Blanton Winship, his military
aide; Maj. James F. Coupal, his ply.
stefan; Everett Sanders, his secretary:
the newspaper correspondents, photog-
raphers and secret service men.
The special train to carry the party
to Gardner, the station nearest to the
north entrance to the park, will leave
Custer at o'clock tomorrow night.
The park will be reached about 1870
o'clock Monday afternoon and the first
night will be spent at Mammoth camp,
where there Is a splendid hotel. At
this place the party no doubt will visit
the hot springs and the famous Ter.
race Mountain.
Expects to Visit Geysers.
1t Is thought the next night will be
spent at Old Faithful, in the upper
geyser basin, at which place the party
will see Old Faithful, the Giant, the
Giantess, Grotto and dozen or so
other world-famous geysers.
1t is understood that the party will
spend two nights at Yellowstone Lake,
which will be reached probably Wed
nesday afternoon. 1t is expected that
the President will do his fishing at
this place. The next stop will be at
the Grand Canyon. Although no an
nouncement of the time for the party's
return to the Black Hills has been
made, it is thought that the following
Monday has been selected.
