) k Mrs. Verges Denied Marriage And Later Banished Husband\ REUNION DATE CHANGED. New York. Feb. 21—Notwithstand ing the fact that Addison Mizner, who has a studio at 30 West Twenty- fourth street, ridicules the idea that his brother, Wilson Mizner, has sep arated from his wife, who was Mrs. Charles T. Yerkes, widow of the great street railway magnate, there are many who hold to the belief that the Mizner-Yerkes romance has been shattered. Mrs. Mizner became a widow De cember 29, 1905. She was married January 30, 1906, -to Wilson Mizner, a California giant and one-time lion tamer of the Pacific. And now comes the report that husband and wife sep arated Feb. 18, 1906, and that Mizner is out of the Yerkes mansion, over which he ruled briefly as its lord. The former Mrs. Yerkes is in a state of nervous collapse and will see no one. The telephones at her house ha^e been disconnected and she has practically isolated herself from the outside world. All efforts on the part of friends of her young husband to reconcile the couple have failed. The news of the parting came from Washington, where Mr. Mizner was seen with a group of men friends and a young woman. It was learned there that he had telephoned his wife from that city begging to be for given and to be permitted to return. The reply, it is said was an emphat ic and bitter “no." Mr. Mizner did not attempt to hide his chagrin. Friends said that he would probably sue his wife in the attempt to compel her to carry out the provisions of a prenuptial agree ment they had made. This agreement is alleged to have provided $1,000,000 for the young bridegroom. The trouble is believed to have be gun over financial affairs, and to have been made worse by the influence of Mrs. Mizner’s lawyer and women friends, who were always strenuous ly opposed to Mizner. Mizner had been living in the Fifth avenue mansion scarcely ten days when he took his departure, because his wife refused to give him enough spending money. Mlznen, it is said, is now on his way back to the coast, whence he came to woo and wed the widow worth millions. Along with the news of the separation comes the an nouncement that Chicago will get a $1,000,000 hospital as a result of the disagreement. Advanced Because of Georgia Memo rial Day Conflict. Macon, Ga., Feb. 22—From the of fice of Gen. C. M. Wiley it is an nounced that Adjt. Gen. William E. Mickle for the veterans has agreed to postpone the national reunion In New Orleans one week and set the dates for May 2, 3 and 4, instead of April 25, 26, and 27 as first announc ed. This is due to the fact that the Georgia veterans attend memorial ex ercises on April 26, and could not change that date to accommodate the national body. Georgia usually sends the largest delegation to the national reunion, BOURK ^lOCHRAN SARCA8TIC. Declines to( Discuss Report of His (Engagement. Washing *■*, Feb. 22—Representa tive W.
