WIFE BELONGED TO SECT Her Membership in “Life Insti- tute” Was Cause of Quarrel. Special Dispatch to The Star. CHICAGO, Ill, August 28.—A tragio sequel to the exposure of the love cult of Albert J. Moore and his Life Institute loomed today as coast guards dragged Lake Michigan for the body of a suicide feared to be W. W. Talcott, estranged husband of one of Moore's most devoted follow- ers. Talcott has been mysteriously miss- ing from his home since Thursday noon, when he bade his children an tionate farewell, saying he would end the night at his mother’s home. He and his wife had not been living together for four months and he has been very despondent over the estrangement, due to Mrs. Talcott's adherence to the teachings of the Moore cult. Thursday afternoon an unidentified man jumped from the deck of an ex- cursion boat just after it put out into the lake. He sank before t crew could reach him. The two my t s were not linked until Talcot inued disappearance led his sis- M George Rett, to get the au- thor to . start an_investigation. A haberdasher identified the straw hat left behind by the suicide as one he had sold to Talcott a few weeks 0. Members of the crey of the ex- cursion Steamer declare that Taleott's deseription answers that of the man who jumped overboard. Wife's Dream Shattered. Meanwhile Mrs. Talcott, her dreams and ideals shattered, her faith in Moore and his mystic rights fast fail- i sits at home wringing her hands in angulsh and hoping against hope that the man who leaped to death i hé lake was not her husband. would do anything In the world to have him back,” she moans as she Izathers closer to her the three chil- dren she was accused of neglecting during her recent infatuation with the teachings of the Moore institu- tion. “I cannot believe that he has ended his own life. I know he must hing to condemn Moore, although S dmits that her views have chang- ed since the disappearance of her hu d. It was Talcott who exposed Moore's love cult and instigated the recent court proceedings, in_ which Mcore was found gullty and fined 50 and costs. As chief complaining witness Talcott showed that Moore had wrecked many homes and mulcted numerous women of unreasonable money fees under pretense of false s for ills of the flesh and spirit. Mr: Taleott herself, her husband claimed. had contributed $6,000 to the Life Institute. Husband Disappears. When Mrs. Talcott continued to iadhere to Moore, even after his con- ction, Talcott had his wife's sanity tested at the Psychopathic Hospital. But when she was declared perfectly sane she took up her work at Moore's temple with renewed zeal, and Talcott became strangely despondent and moody. “I am through with the struggle,” he said to his sister last Wednesday. The next day he disappeared. “Despondency over the estrange- ment with his wife and the strain and worry over being chief witness the trial have made my brother po sibly temporarily mentally deranged, said his sister today. Talcott was a successful business man and very highly regarded by his associates. 3 (Copyright, 1922.) LOSS OF DREADNAUGHT BLOW TO FRENCH NAVY IFighting Strength Now on Equal- ity With Italy—Little Hope of Refloating Warship. By the Associated Press. PARIS, August 28.—The loss of the dreadnaught France, which foundered on the rocks of Quiberon Bay, Satur- day morning, reduced the country' { first naval line by one-seventh of its fighting strength and places the French navy on an equality with Italy's.

CONVIT Y LOSE RACEWITH DEATH Edward Doree, War-Time Offender, Awaits Release to See Dying Son. By the Assoclated Press. PHILADELPHIA, August 28.—Al- though the massive gates of the federal penitentiary at Leavenworth, Kan. are ready to swing open a second time for Edward F. Doree 80 that he may visit his five-year old son, “Buckey,” dying In this city, it was considered un- likely today that he will see the lad alive. Physicians believe that death is imminent. Several days ago the powerful gov- ernment machinery was moved that can issue the paper ordering & con- vict's leave of absence for a visit to his home. But Doree is virtually broke, and he must pay not only his own transportation for the nearly 3,000 miles, but also that of the guard to accompany him. He wired his wife three days ago that $300 was necessary. The wife, Who earns her own living, replied that she had no funds, but would endeavor to raise the money. Mrs. Doree has wired the warden at Leavenworth to learn whether her hus- band had negotated funds for the trip, but lives in hopes that he will arrive momentarily. As the days grow, she is torn between joy and sorrow. Fleet- ing as is the hope that her son will live, friends are expecting President Hard- ing to sign a pardon for her husband within a few days, due largely to the intercession of Senator George Wharton Pepper and Mrs. Charles Edward Rus- 11 Doree's case first attracted public at- tention when he was granted a brief leave last spring to visit his son who was critically ill with pericarditis. His reward for the long journey was a visit of but a minute or two with “Buckey,” who called for him every day and still continues to do so. Doree has served about three years of a ten-year sen- tence for violation of the espionage act. PLACED ON RETIRED LIST. Cols. Charles Wilicox and Champe C.
