was in a delicate condition.
You're not the father OF the

Stay of Execution Denied
Attorney McDonough gave notice
OF an appeal and asked that a stay
of execution be granted. but Judge
Wolfe denied the request. saying he
would not allow the infant to be
without support pending the appeal.
Attorney McDonough replied that
his reason for making the request
was that he did not wish Petrasch
to go into the supreme court of err
rors in the position of appealing
from the finding of superior court
and at the same time carrying it out
by supporting the child.
Petrasch was released in custo dy
of Attorney McDonough until Mon
day. when the bond for appeal will
be posted. Attorney McDonough said
the appeal will be based on Mrs. Pc
trasch's refusal to live with her hus-
band. despite his offer to support her
and the child. Petrasch is 90 years
of age.

SCHO0LMATES MEET
AGAIN AT CAPITAL
Mrs. HooYer's Closest Friend
May Be Dr.. Lyman's Wife

Washington. March . Rt-Mrs.
Ray Lyman Wilbur, wife OF the new
secretary of the interior. probably
will be Mrs. Herbert Hoover's closest
friend in the capital.
Their association began when
they were goods together in Leland
university. and Mrs. Wilbur feels her
chief JOY in coming to Washington
is the renewal of this friendship OF
many years standing. 1t has never
been disrupted; but the span of a
continent has separated them from
each other during more than a
decade. except for infrequent visits.
A misfortune of Mrs. Wilbur's.
however, will bring them closer to-
gether than they would be other
life. III health. which she has suf-
fered since she fell from horse
and broke two vertebrae of her neck
seven years ago. probably will keep
Mrs. Wilbur from most Of her social
duties. but it is expected to make
more intimate the first lady's atten-
tons to her friend.
Cannot be Active
Because of these circumstances,
Mrs. Wilbur said today. she looks on
the four-year period with zest. She
will remain. at least for time, in
the hotel suite to which she came
last weekend. She will attempt to
participate in some of the official
ceremonies. although 1t will be I'M
possible for her to be as active as
will be most Of the other cabinet
ladies.
During the first five years after
the accident. she explained, she con-
,inued really strenuous" duties OF
her role as the wife Of the university
president.

conscience made it possible" she
added. but | found it omparatively
easy
The injury suffered in the fab
was a fracture OF the spinal bones.
Mrs. Wilbur's survival Of it has
been marveled at by physicians. For
five years after it occurred, she felt
compa ratively well, except for an
occasional lameness. Then she vas
totally incapacitated.
Several months ago her physicians
operated, cutting away the spinal
bones and cutting the covering Of
the cord. Five years ago this, an
unusually delicate operation. physi-
clans say, would have been impossi-
bic.
In nine months or year" Mrs
Wilbur said. Il hope to be much
stronger For the present though.
she will spend most Of her time rest
ing.
Relatives Are Medical
Mrs. Wilbur's own, as well as her
husbands family have been promi-
nent in medicine and in other pro-
LESSONS. Her interest in science was
one of the things which gave her a
ground Of common interest on
which to meet the former Lou
Henry
Mrs. Wilbur was Miss Marguerite
May Blake. One Of her three sons
is d physician OF the Mayo clinic at
Rochester, MINI. Another recently
began the practice Of surgery in
their home state. California;: and the
third and youngest is studying to
enter the profession. The older
daughter of the Wilburs is the wife
Of a young Orthopedic surgeon.
OF the California redwood trees,
! for which Mrs. Hoover has profess
ed much feeling, Mrs. Wilbur also
spoke admiringly.
