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,
