DIVORCE SUIT EVIDENCE They First Lived Apart in Hope He Could Get Money From Mother Who Opposed Marriage. DETROIT, Dec. 2—Mrs. Juliette Smith Northrop today made public 99 letters, which she received in less than a year from her husband, Murray S5. Northrop of St. Louis, and which she says she will present as evidence in her divorce suit, recently filed here. They reveal that Northrop remained away from her for a considerable period in the hope of getting funds from his mother, Mrs. Reid Northrop, a wealthy St. Louis widow, who never has become recon- ciled to his marriage with “Judy,’’ to whom she is said to have referred con- temptuously as a dancer and an act- ress. The Northrops were married in Chica- go in May, 1914, and lived in St. Louis and New York hotels for a time, rpend- ing much of their time, when in .t. Louis, dancing at the Sunset riill Coun- try Club. Their efforts to raise funds with which to pay their hotel bills w.re narrated yesterday in the Post-Dis- patch. He is 2% and she is 21. Parted in Two Months. They had been married only about two months when Northrop left his bride and began writing the series of letters, which his wife has numbered from 1 to vy, ana which she now plans to exhibit at the alimony hearing here Jan. 8. Letter No. 1, written in New York, July 20, 1914, states: Il told mother I would not give you up, so she is going to leave me, and let me dig for myself. It’s too bad. God, littie girl, I want to do all .«. can for you and get back into your good gracés and show the world. The man I saw this morning told me to take the girl in preference to the family. That’s what 1 want to do,” Northrop’s third letter was written from St. Louis, Sept. 23, 1914, on Plant- ers Hotel stationery. It follows: “My Dearest Judy—Every night I am by myself thinking about you and pray- ing as devotedly as I know ‘how that you will join me—I cry a great deal and pray all the time. God, will you ever come to me? I am just pining away longing for you—-I WANT YOU, and if you don’t come I do not know what will happen to me. Now, my parting words are this: ‘Won't you come to me just as quickly as you can? May God guide you towards me and protect you ig my constant prayer. Don’t these letters mean anything to you* ” Northrop was in St. Louis, Oct. 7, 1915, when he wrote the fifth letter, as fol- lows: “Dearest: Tonight for the show. I am going to doll up in my Tuxedo. Maybe it will bring me luck.”’ Letters From Of] Fields, Last February Northrop went to the Oklahoma oil fields, and wrote frequent- ly from Muskogee and Tulsa. In one he lamented that the State was dry, and that cigarettes were prohibited. (In her crossbill Mrs. Northrop states that her husband's allegations that she had “af- fairs’ with other men were the result of his drinking and smoking cigarettes.) “If you didn’t have my love," he wrote, “maybe you would like me bet- r, but I can't conceal it. A more truthful saying was never said, “What we have we don't want, and what we want, we can’t have.”” Once we made a bargain, that, if one got cross, the other would laugh. Why have we failed?’ Northrop was in Chicago last April, after visiting his wife, and wrote that he hoped this would be their last sepa- ration. He told her. to writé him in care of T. A. Bell, in Muskogee, and “then Mrs. Northrop (his mother) will know nothing about it. You remember Miss Long drove at the St. Louis Horse Show. Got a postal from mother say- ing she went to the Long farm. Soon ag the doctor says you can come, let me know, and I'll see what can be done. ‘Cause I sure want you as soon as I can get you.” Latter No. @&, written April 9 last, from Muskogee, was what Northrop himself styled “‘some letter.” It was filled with endearing terms, and ended with, ‘“‘Hope I feel better tomorrow or I'm afraid I can’t turn that $1,000,000 tomorrow. A million kisses. Can't you write me twice a day? There we tears in my eyes. God, I'm lonely.” Next day, before retiring, Northrop wrote: “Sure am lonely for you, as usual. Can't wait for your letter each day. Don’t fall me. Dearest one, please tell me all you do each day. Don't miss a trick, even which foot you put your shoe on first.” His letter the following day: “My dear little girl: Malled you some little flowers today. God help me to stick it out; it will help me. Won't you help me? Really, dear, you don't realize how helpless lam. Everything depends for our best advantage on waiting just a little while. Then we can tell thera all to g0 to h—. Leave it to me, but do your part in Detroit. Now, dearest, I love you and you me. God, I want you, but don’t you see we must first buy something with her money and then all will be well.” In another letter, April 14, he wrote “Am inclosing, picture of the dare-devil | driver—Northrop—and his speed car.

Letter No. 99 was written July 16, 4 few weeks before Mrs. Northrop sued for divorce. Northrop, after apologiz- ing for leaving his wife when she was il, wrote: “Let's go back to Detroit and I'll go out to Henry Ford and get @ job and we can live where real hap- piness is. Won't you? That's what I want to do, and if Mrs. N. (his mother) wishes to help her son she can do it there. C. H. will let me use the car.” This letter was signed ‘““Murphy,” and in a postscript Northrop wondered who gave him the name of Murphy and said he rather “liked it.”’ Other letters referred to his progress in the Northrop-Bell Oil and Gas Co., of which he was secretary and general manager. Northrop’s father, who was a cousin of George Gould, lived at 23 Washington terrace, St. Louis, but that home has been sold and Mrs. Reid Northrop is living at the Westmoreland Hotel in St. Louis. Northrop, it is said, met his wife ina Detroit cafe, where he danced with her and then escorted her home. She was Mrs. Juliétte Gilmore, a young widow. Her first husband, with whom she eloped when she was 16, died a year after their marriage. Ross-Gould Removed to 810 Olive St. Mailing lists. facsirn)le letters. addressing =|C. ORRIGK BISHOP SERIOUSLY ILL Al HOME OF COUSIN Assistant Circuit Attorney, 74, Has Grip and Bronchial Com- plications. C. Orrick Bishop, Assistant Circuit At- torney, who is 74 years old, is seriously ill at the home of his cousin, Mrs. C, L. Pearson, 5795 Berlin avenue. He is suf- fering from grip and bronchial trouble, and visitors in the past two days have not been permitted to see him. Bishop has been connected with the administration of justice in St. Louis at intervals more than 3 years. He acted as prosecutor in the famous South- ern Hotel Maxwell-Preller murder case in 1885. He was associated with Joseph W. Folk in the prosecution of the boodle cases of 1902 and 1903, his specialty be- ing the work of legal detail. Folk later, as Governor, made Bishop a Circuit Judge for an unexpired term, and Bishop ran for election to the bench, but was beaten. He was one of the survivors of the Missouri Athletic Club fire of March, 1914, in which 3 men were killed.

The title of King and Kaiser are but a subterfuge to befuddle and hypnotize the minds of the useful workers of society and set them at each other's throats.

Other CHAS. WILCOX, the judge of that welfare? If the welfare of the Government were always identical with the wel- fare of the State and the people, the Government might be trusted to determine what should be printed and what should not be printed in the newspapers. But suppose the Government is corrupt; suppose the Government is incompetent; suppose the Government is in control of classes whose interests are inimical to the interests of the people—newspapers might then be suppressed and articles forbidden which would give the peo- ple invaluable information about their Govern- ment, its corruption, incompetence or selfish pur- poses which threaten the vital interests of the people, or the very life of the State. The interests or ambitions of a governing class may force a people into a disastrous war if gov- ernmental purposes and acts are not freely ex- posed and discussed in the newspaper press. A free press is essential to the forming of en- lightened and sound public opinion. No attacks that have been made upon Germany and Germans in this country have surpassed in malignance those made upon the President and the Government in behalf of Germany by the hyphenated press for the purpose of controlling governmental policy against public interest. Yet no hyphenated newspaper or periodical has been suppressed. For the protection of individuals from slander and abuse we have libel laws. We believe it bet- ter that some érrors creep into print than that any truth be suppressed. In respect of the freedom of speech and the press, our way differs from that of Germany— our culture is higher. We agree with Thomas Jefferson in his immortal defense of free speech: Error of opinion may be tolerated where reason is free to combat it. The liberty of speaking and writing guards our Uberties. The basis of our Government being the opinion of the people, the very first object should be to keep that right; and were it left to me to decide whether we should have a Government without newspapers or newspa- pers without a Government, I should not hesi- tate a moment to prefer the latter. = = -~ = = NONLEATHER SHOES. The German scheme of making shoes without leather is not a novelty. During our Civil War shoes for the army were made without leather. War shoes have been known to be made of paper. = = ™ wwe A CONGRESSIONAL AUTOMOBILE TRIP. An unnamed Missouri Congressman had a sin- less aggravating than tears of despair later on, ANOTHER AUTOMOBILE PERIL. Dr. Appelbach, an official employed about the public health in Chicago, has made a careful analysis of the stuff we so constantly breathe in the streets—automobile gas. In the noisome carbon monoxide. There is not enough of the poison to kill pedestrians outright, but there is many a headache in it, the analyst affirms, and attacks of vertigo and nausea on the downtown Streets are frequently due to it, he _ believes. These are in reality “‘mild cases” of what medi- cine knows as “petromortis.” As its name im- plies, the latter is fatal poisoning. The automobile has come to stay, and gasoline will continue to be used for power, but more regulation is evidently necessary in cities. Motors cannot be permitted to trespass indefi- nitely upon the limited air we are vouchsafed between high walls and under a smoke blanket. The comfort, health and lives of too many people are jeopardized, The automobile downtown in congested districts is becoming more and more of a nuisance, a traffic difficulty and a menace to health. In St. Louis the regulation of the automobile’s use is lax and insufficient for public protection. Machines “park” everywhere. Smoky motors, diffusing more poison than necessary, are tol- erated. Such ordinances as we have regulating fumes, lights and speed are but loosely enforced. The careless motorist dreads neithér police nor courts. Incidentally our casualties and fatalities are excessive. Regard for public rights and pub- becomes a bigger “problem” every day. Yet the problem can be largely solved by regu- lation. The perils and the nuisance can be min- imized, and it would be vastly to the interest of the municipality to undertake the task intelli- gently +9—___—— The convict in a crowded penitentiary may well pray to be hanged. = -_ ii is VON BISSING ON THE CAVELL BLUNDER. The mind of military bureaucracy was working in its normal fashion when Gen. von Bissing, Governor of Belgium, was interviewed about the execution of Miss Cavell. He could not under- stand why the whole world is concerned about the case. To him the fact that even Berlin re- gards the act as a blunder was only “very inter- esting” and another example of the disposition of some persons to make “mountains out of mole- hills.” The General’s statement, which contains the ad- mission that the nurse was not charged with es- pionage, leaves disinterested opinion where it was before. Her only offense was assisting dis- tressed persons to escape from the misery of Bel- gium. The allegation that this is a capital of- fense in all countries requires serious modifica- tion. Such assistance is given to fugitives in all wars and has rarely been penalized so ferociously. That higher German authority would not have countenanced putting the woman to death, had fumes from the exhaust he finds a good deal of } lic comfort is at a minimum and the automobile , apo Lh Sie beh Si ge EF hae Date of ae eal ws STL AOS es re Fy (Oey tke ' ori. os. 24 eee A _ . . ec reg oe ; : Sad . ww. ww grou s P, 4 A ‘ lS, ee a ‘ 7, a7, ore ote ~~. el on paella acca SSO 8 eee at © + > A a “WAIT, 'M NOT READY!” ~~ gO OG OOOO JUST A MINUTE SOO eer lin atl tii al ee Written for the POST-DISPATCH by Clark McAdams a ee ee ee —— " eee - Se ENVOY OF WAR.

The Congressman is curious to know why, in going from Missouri to the District of Columbia, the cost of running a motor car should practically be doubled and may take means to find out. Of course, it is not explained by the transportation charges on the refined gasoline. He will discover that the principal reason is a difference in com- petitive conditions.

There are plenty of signs of prosperity beside clearing house reports, bank statements and tales of big holiday business. The news of one day bristles with them. The bank robbery and train robbery lines are picking up. Jess Willard is being offered big purses. Baseball leagues are buying each other out. Profit-sharing plans are being announced quite frequently. Burglaries are netting good re- turns. Pullman wages are increased. Here and there a painter is selling a picture. Taxpayers, we observe locally, are not awed at the prospect of penalties. Ford is offering to give away $2,000,000 more. Frick gives away $169,000 to the school children of. Pittsburg. Charities have never known such a harvest. Brand Whitlock {Is carrying money to the Belgians. Relief funds are growing tremendously. Bequests to eleemo- synary institutions are freer than ever. The news fairly reeks with stories of ready money. But the best barometer of business in the paper is to be found elsewhere than in the news—look at our advertisements, both local and general. = = - eS While the men in the trenches await attacks, the patriots at home await a tax. = - i A SCHOOL FOR OFFICE BOYS. Some benevolent New Yorkers thinking to fill a long-felt want have established a school for of- fice boys. That is w say, the school will take otherwise boys and try to make office boys out of them. Success to the venture, but we question whether office boys can be made. Is not the office boy born, rather? We mear the ideal one, of course. His red hair, freckles, freshness, independence, capacities—are not all his endowments natural oves? To school, to teach, an office boy would geem a prodigious undertaking. Yet, paradox- teally, it might be overdone. Many a great office boy has been ruined by learning. He becomes too smart for an office boy. The bright office boy who will remain just an office boy is a rara avis. He is easily the most -—oo— ON ot Se wee ee ee THE DUC D*AUMALE. This delightful Prince of the Royal House of France, who was almost as well known in Worces- tershire as the present Lord Dudley’s distinguished father, who lived to contemplate life from the bow- window of ‘‘White’s’’—this gallant gentleman, to whom Edward VII and his mother were 80 partial, had not met his nephew of Sofia for a considerable period. One evening, being in Paris for a while, the King- and-Tsar of today, intent upon getting a square meal, strolled into a restaurant which was quite ‘‘a la mode.’’ Almost the first person his eyes fell upon was his uncle Aumale, of Chantilly. The nephew sidied up to him, anticipating a warm welcome. To his amazement the Duc merely stared indifferently, with a look of ‘‘who-the-deuce-are-you?’’ kind, and went on with his dinner, as, according to Thackerdy, Charlotte, ‘‘went on cutting bread-and-butter.’’ ‘‘But surely, my dear uncle, you have not forgotten me? Je suis Ferdinand.’’ Thus adjured, the Duc looked fixedly at the young man; then jumped up, and, holding out his hand, ox- claimed: ‘‘Ferdinand; Is it possible? Forgive my apparent rudeness, but it is so long since we met that, for the moment, like the Powers, I failed to recognize you!’’ As the Italian humorist remarked of another story: ‘‘Si mon e Verdi, e bene Trova- tore!’’—Pall Mall Gazette. Young Americans who watch England in the : present war will readily understand how we won Among the men indicted by the Federal grand jury in New York for conspiracy to blow up American am- munition plants are the following Germans: Messrs.

AMBITIOUS By Means of Winter Practice He Hopes to Make Good Showing Against Wolverines. The Washington University football eleven will meet the Michigan Univer- sity team in Ann Arbor, on Nov. 4, next season. Coach Edmunds of the local institution had been angling for an early date with the Wolverines, and expected to take his Pikeway gridders up to play them on an early Saturday in October. However, a message was received yes- terday from the Michigan athletic au- thorities stating that Nov. 4 was the only date open and that Washington would be placed on the schedule for that day uniess Coach Edmunds turned it down, This date will find the maize and gold man at their best. as, on the following Saturday, Syracuse,is met and on the week previous the Michigan Aggies are the Ann Arbor lads’ opponents. Al- though a date has not as yet been defi- nitely set. Edmunds believes that the Drake Bulldogs will play in St. Louls on Oct. 2%, the week before the Michi- gan game. The Bulldogs bave a habit of leaving a number of myrtie and ma- roon cripples, and should they repeat this season it ‘will work more havoc than usual After the Michigan game the Pikers will luckily have two weeks to recu- te before the Missouri contest, on ov. 18, as Knox is played on the llth and that team is generally a less tough foe than most of -the locals’ opponents. Edmunds Was Ambitious, Edmunds, when he received the mes- sage, stated that playing the game on such a late date practically killed all hopes of Washington sneaking over a vietory and that all he could now hope for was a small score. He had ho that ny holding winter, spring and early fall practice, that he might whip his men into shape before Yost’s squad was in condition. Rather than lose the op- Michigan, he said that Ostake a drub : He wired to Griffith, athletic director at Drake University, last night, to close the date for. the annual ker-Drake game, . ; Too Much Snow for Football.
