RICH WIDOW WEOS
LATE MATE'S HEIR
Mrs. Collis P. Huntington Be
comes Bride of Henry E.
Huntington in Paris.
BRIDEGROOM 63 YEARS OLD
Nephew of Millionaire Railway Mag
nate Takes Vncle's Widow as
Wife, Sealing Romance of Sev
ern 1 Years, Thrice Denied.
PARIS. July 16. (Special.. In the
marriage today of Mrs. Arabella. D.
Huntington, widow of the late Collis
P. Huntington, of New Tork, and
Henry E. Huntington, Collis P. Hunt
ington's nephew, a romance which has
kept society agog for several years
was sealed. The wedding was at the
American Church in the Rue de Berrl.
Collis P. Huntington, who died in
August, 1900, left a fortune estimated
-t many minions, which he bequeathed
to his wife, his adopted son, Archer M.
Huntington; his nephew, Henry E.
Huntington, a railroad man of Los
Angeles and New York, and his adopt
ed daughter, Clara Huntington, born in
retroit, Mich., now widow of Prince
I rancis of Hatzf eldt-Wildenberg.
LOS ANGELES. July 16. (Special.,
The romance of Henry E. Huntington
and the beautiful widow of his late
un'cle. Collis P. Huntington, has been
hinted at for six or seven years. Their
engagement has been three times re
ported and thrice denied.
As far back as December, 1910, fol
lowing his arrival here from Europe,
when he brought with him the famous
Gainsborough portrait of the Duchess
of Cumberland, which now hangs in
his veritable palace of art at Oak
Knoll, he laughingly denied his report
ed engagement with Mrs. Huntington.
When he left Los Angeles in March
of this year for New York and Europe
he was again asked whether he in
tended to marry Mrs. Arabella Hunt
ington. Again he half laughingly
made his denial, saying:
"You newspapermen are bound to
build me a romance and I have been
trying to keep you away for several
years.
The marriage itself came as a sur
prise to Mr. Huntington's most inti
mate friends in this city. Howard Hunt
ington, the son of Henry E. Huntington,
said:
"I have no knowledge of my father's
marriage except what the newspapers
tell me. It's all a surprise to me. But
I suppose it Is so, because the news
papers seemed to have confirmed the
report by dispatches from Paris.
"T received a letter from my father
only yesterday. It was a business let
ter, mostly, and gave no hint whatever
of any purpose to marry.
"My father Is 63 years old. I am not
certain as to Mrs. Hu'ington's age.
She is. however, a youn(?oman yet."
Mr. Huntington recently completed a
great mansion near Pasadena and
filled it with art works. His represent
atives here said today that he and his
bride would soon occupy the place.
Mr. Huntington at one time con
trolled all of ,the electric railways in
and about Los Angeles," but recently
transferred his Interests In the Pacific
Electric Railway Company, the cor
poration owning all of the extensive
suburban lines, to the Southern Pacific
Railroad. He still retains a controlling
interest in the Los Angeles street rail
way line.
MINISTER TO CHINA CHOSEN
Br. Paul S. Relnsch, of University
of Wisconsin, Selected.
WASHINGTON. July 16. Dr. Paul S.
Reinsch, professor of political economy
in the University of Wisconsin, has
been selected for Minister to China.
Secretary Bryan, Dr. Reinsch and Pres
ident Wilson had a long conference at
the White House today, after which it
became known that Dr. Reinsch's name
would be sent to the Senate, 'probably
Friday.
Dr. Reinsch is a writer of recognized
. authority on Oriental topics and Far
Eastern politics. His works on those
subjects have been translated into Jap
anese, Spanish and German.
Dr. Reinsch was born in Milwaukee
in 1869. He was educated' in Berlin
Rome and Paris and began college work
at the University of Wisconsin in 1839
He has been active in Pan-American
conferences and in societies for the
study of international law and histori
cal research. Hs'ls "married and livts
in Madison.
did not press to have the Sherman bill
passed at this session of Congress.
He then stated that thev passed to
the child labor law and Mr. Watson
asked the President who would draw
this model bill. The President replied
he would have his Labor Commissioner,
Mr. Neill, draw it. the President ex
plaining that he merely wished this bill
to be an academic bill for the states."
The letter closed with a. reference to
Mr. Watson's account of his efforts to
draw Colonel Roosevelt out on the ques
tion of a third term.
Sohwedtman told Mulhall in a letter
early in 1909: "It is really a. pity we
cannot get you to Congress or the Sen
ate right away. You ought to be there.
Each day teaches us how to do things
better, and just another year of this
harmonious co-operation will put us in
a shape where nobody can beat us."
Mulhall identified a letter he had
written to David Parry March 10, 1908,
saying:
"I have had several interviews with
Speaker Cannon. Mr. James Sherman,
Mr. Littlefleld, Mr. 3artholdt and sev
eral other leaders of Congress, in the
last ten days, and all of those gentle
men assure me that there will be no
labor legislation at this session of Con
gress." Cole Called Subservient.
Senator Reed asked whether ex-Representative
Cole was friendly to the
National Association of Manufacturers.
"Extremely so," replied the witness.
"Subservient in fact. On one ocasion
Mr. Emery sent for me and told me Cole
had not acted right. I went to the
capital and got Mr. Cole. Mr. Emery
gave him a scolding right there on the
carpet in his office."
In a letter to Secretary Schwedtman
Mulhall wrote that he had had a pleas
ing interview with ex-Governor Myron
T. Herrick, who promised to do every
thing he could to have Cole returned to
Congress again.
One letter from Schwedtman, March
24, 1908, said:
"How splendid it would be if we
could do what you and I feel ought to
be done; that is, have representation
for the National Association of Manu
facturers in the next President Cabinet.
Of course we must be careful in talk
ing these matters with Mr. Van Cleve,
because, being independent and a man
of great means, he has no desires in
that direction at all, and he has been
brought to believe, as a good many
business men do, that it is bad for a
high-class business man to be mixed up
with politics."
CABINET PLACE IS AIM
Continued From First Page.)
"Watson, of Indiana, in which the lat
ter described a two-hour Interview at
the 'White House between Colonel
Roosevelt and himself. In part the
. letter read:
"He (Watson) said he was invited to
the White House at 9:30 P. M. and was
with the President until 11:30 P. M.
The President wished him to call so
they could talk over the legislative
programme for the Balance of this ses
sion, the President knowing . that he
represented Speaker Cannon and the
other leaders of the House and Senate.
He stated that the main reason of the
, call was that Speaker Cannon, Vlce
rresident Fairbanks and several other
leaders wanted to find out how the
President stood in relation to a third
term. He stated that there were four
things the President wished. First,
that Congress stay in session until the
15th of May to receive the Governors
of the different states coming to Wash
ington on that day; second, to amend
the Sherman law; third,' to have Con
gress vote for four battleships; fourth,
to pass a child's labor law for the Dis
trict of Columbia which would be a
model law for the states in general.
Colonel's Programme Modified. ,
"Mr. Watson says he told the Presi
dent that it was impossible for him
to get through this Congress two of
these bills. First, that Congress would
only vote for two battleships. Second,
that Congress would not amend the
Sherman law. The President wanted
to know why. Mr. Watson told him
that almost the entire manufacturing
interests of the country were against
it. The President wished to know if
Mr. Watson knew or had met Mr. Van
Cleave. Mr. Watson told him he knew
Mr. Van Cleave well and other manu
facturers who were In touch with Mr.
Van Cleave, and that Mr. Van Cleave
was a splendid fellow and knew what
the manufacturers wanted. He stated
that he talked along theso lines with
the President and finally the President

DIVORCE HELD FRAUD
Judges Declare Guggenheim
Decree Won Illegally.
PROSECUTION IS ORDERED
Collusion and Criminal Conspiracy
Charged to All Parties Involved.
Statutes of limitations Ex
empt Illinois Attorneys.
CHICAGO. July 16. On the ground
that the divorce of William Guggen
heim, the millionaire mining man, from
Grace Brown Guggenheim-Wahl in
1901 was obtained by fraud, collusion
and criminal conspiracy, Judges
Windea, Heard and Baldwin today in
structed Attorney Hoyne to proceed in
criminal action against the alleged
parties to the fraud.
Mr. Hoyna announced that he would
place the matter before the July grand
jury, now in session, in compliance with
the suggestion of the judges sitting
en banc
Illinois Attorneys Exempt,
"The statute of - limitations prevent
prosecution of Chicago attorneys who
may have been guilty of collusion and
fraud in this case," said Mr. Hoyne;
"but attorneys who live outside the
State of Illinois may be prosecuted. I
will present the matter to the grand
Jury. If this grand jury, by reason of
pressure of business, cannot handle the
case, it will go ovor until Fall."
Mrs. Guggenheim-Wahl, setting in
various suits to have the divorce de
clared. Invalid because in obtaining it
she swore falsely that she was a resi
dent of Illinois, testified that she acted
on advice of counsel for her husband.
The judges denied today a motion
made by State's Attorney Hoyne, as a
friend of the court, to expunge the rec
ord of the divorce.
Case Kot Disposed Of.
While the decision is a victory for
the millionaire mining man, the judges
pointed out that it does not dispose of
the case finally, as the points involved
in Hoyne's ' motion remain to be de
cided on two separate actions now
pending before the Appellate Court.
The divorce was granted in 1901, and
Guggenheim subsequently .married
again, and a child of this union is now
living. Mrs. Guggenheim-Wahl, in re
cent years, has been in court a great
deal seeking to have her divorce an
nulled on the grounds that it was ob
tained by collusion and fraud.
She was defeated in court here sev
eral months ago on this plea, and an
appeal was taken.
