ONE SIDES WITH WOMAN
President of Tobacco Trust to Fight
for Annulment of Marriage,' Hav-
ing Had Similar Experience
Mrs; Duke's Marriages.
CHICAGO, Jan. 1L (Special.) Detect
ives of Chicago today uncovered the ex-'
istence of a clique of desperate women
and men who, with this city as their
headquarters, have been preying upon
rich men, getting millionaires under their
control ind forcing money from them by
all forts of ruses. Every effort was made
to hunt down the leaders of this gang, the
existence of which is the latest startling
revelation In the spectacular career
of Mrs. Powell-Hopkins-Masterson-Duke,
who, as Alice L. Webb, married Brodie L.
Duke, of the millionaire tobacco family,
to have her husband taken from her by
the law during their alcoholic honeymoon.
The operations of this gang of women
and men, who have made men of wealth
their prcyT will strike a sensation from
one end ot the country to the other, it Is
held, if the threads of this conspiracy are
laid bare to the world'e eye. "With liquor
as their weapon, It is said, this gang has
cajoled its victims out of tens upon tens
of thousands of dollars.
Division Among the Dukes.
Friends of Alice Webb-Duke say that
before the eensatlonal case Ib ended the
Duke brothers will be waging war against
each other, and the upshot of the whole
thing will be, they say. the disruption of
the American tobacco trust.
The friends of the woman base this
statement upon an unconfirmed rumor
from New York that the half brothers
of Brodie I Duke have taken sides in the
case. Benjamm N. Duke, eeqretary and
treasurer of the American Tobacco Com
pany, It Is flald. hast gone to the aid of
the woman, and has signified his intcn
tlon of furnishing the money needed to
back her up in opposing the annulment
of the marriage. The main witness, it is
fcald, will be Charles W. Thompson, who
was a witness to the wedding.
James B. Duke, president of the Ameri
can Tobacco Company, will stand by his
half brother Brodie, because he, too. It 1s
atild. had a similar experience In Durham,
N. C. and failed in his efforts to have-
his marriage annulled. Later the woman
whom he married secured a divorce, but
not until she had received $500,000. Ben
jamin X. Duke is said to be a bachelor
The two officials of the American Tobacco
Company are brother and half brother of
Brodie Duke.
Alice Webb's Ventures in Marriage.
It now develops that Alloc Webb-Duke,
as she Is noT known, obtained a divorce
from E. H. Powell bofore Judge, Cliytraus
In Chicago. The decree was obtained on
a statutory plea, in which "Nan" Selser,
divorced wife "of a Philadelphia profes
sional man, was named. The Selser
woman is living in Atlantic City. Ac
cording to testimony at the time, Alice
It. L. Webb and E. H. Powell were twice
married. In Philadelphia, 1S97. they were
first wed, while Powell was employed as
steward In the Lafayette Hotel. Later, It
is asserted, the Selser woman was heard
from In Blkton, Ky., where she said she
was .Powell's wife. She created a scene
in PhlladelDhia by threatening to kill
Powell and Alice Webb, but later she ob
tained a divorce in Elkton on statutory
grounds.
CRIMINAL. CHAKGb. BKUUUMi.
Duke Family Take Steps to Punish
Those Who Caused Marriage.
NEW YORK, Jan. 11. Brodie L.
Duko was yesterday transferred to the
lasane asylum at Amltyvllle, L. I., from
tho Sanford Hall Sanitarium at Jt'iusn
ing. Tho Duke family, it was learned
todav. will not only seek to have the
marriage to Miss Webb annulled, but
will bring criminal charges against
persons who will be charged with
conspiracy to bring about his mar
riage.
The action looking toward the
lease of Duke was taken .today by
Champes Andrews, who obtained from
Justice Gaynor. of tho Supreme Court,
in Brooklyn, a writ of habeas corpus
calling upon the superintendent of the
Sanford Hall Sanitarium to produce
Duke in court Friday morning at
o'clock.
On the other hand, Cornelius J Sul
llvan. counsel for the Duke family, ap
seared before Justice Grecnbaum,
tho Supreme Court, this afternoon and
obtained an order directing Duke and
his relatives to show cause why a com
mittee should not be appointed to take
charge of the person and property of
Brodie L. Duke. The order was made
returnable to tho Supreme Court on
January 20.
Mr. Sullivan also obtained from Judge
Grecnbaum an order -restraining R,
Kauffmann from disposing of two prom
ISKory notes aggregating $16,800 which
Duko Issued and gave Kauffmann
discount in the course of transactions
for the purchase of lands In Texas c
behalf of Mrs. Duke.
Tho habeas corpus proceedings were
lifcun at the instance of W. G. Bram
hum. of Durham. N. C., who was, up to
the time of Mr. "Duke's commitment, his
private secretary.
Missouri Legislature Orders Investi
gation of Bribery Charge.
JEFFERSON CITY. Mo.. Jan. 11. Rep
resentative Grace, of St.; Louis, has In
troduced a resolution in. tne -ixwer jiouse
of the General Assembly calling tor an
investigation of the report that St. Louis
brewers had given 51000 to Thomas XC
Nledringhaus. chairman of the State Re-
for 'United States Senator, to Influence
legislation during the present session of
the Legislature.
The resolution caused a. sensation. A
motion to lay it on the table was lost,
after a roll call had been demanded, and
it was unanimously adopted.
The Democratic Senate took up the
matter and appointed an investigating
committee consisting of Senators Mc-
David, McAllister, Dowel!, Mclndoe and
Frlsby. The committee consists of
three Democrats and two Republicans.
POSITION OF R. C. KERENS.
Defeated Rival of Niedringhaus De
sires No Tainted Title.
ST. LOUIS, Jan. 11. R. C. Kerens,
formerly member of the Republican
National Committee from Missouri, who
failed to secure the Republican caucus
nomination for United States Senator
to succeed Francis M. Cockrell, made
a statement today as to the action of
the Legislature looking, to the investi
gation of the campaign contributions
of Thomas K. Neldrlngbaus, the sue
cessful candidate. Mr. Kerens said:
I .have rend the proceedings upon the
resolution offered bv Mr. Grace In the
House of Representatives of the Missouri
Legislature. I have no advice or knowl
edge of that procedure. The Legislature
is perfectly competent to manage its own
affairs without suggestion from any one.
I have not and will not Intrude upon Its
prerogatives.
Toucnimr my canaiuacy ior xne uenator-
shlp. my position was stated in my letter
to every jttepuDiican uenaior ana mem'
ber-elect To this I have adhered rigor
ouslv.
I would not accept the office of Senator
with the slightest taint upon its title. A
United States Senatorshlp tarnished, if
secured bv- the nromise of Federal, state
officers or other disreputable considera
tions, would be a might upon its owner
that would destroy its useiuine&s to tne
state, the people and the party to which
tne recipient oeiongs; mereiore, it snouia
be assumed that the friends of Mr. Nied
rlnehaus in the Legislature will place no
obstacle in the way of the fullest Inquiry
into the many rumors current ana pub
lished involving improper methods.
