Eighteer By the Associated Press. | NEW YORK. April 4—A common | interest in internationalism. sociology and education is credited by friends | with having led to the marriage of the wealthy 38-year-old widow ef | Willard D. Straight to Leonard | Knight . son of an obscure | Mr. Elmhigst is| vears old They were married vesterday at the bride’s country estate in old West- | bury, L. I, one day after the fi public announcement of the engag ment While the Agric working his way through ! ltural School at Cornell five years ago, Mr. Elmhirst came to New York to visit Mrs. Straight in the interest of the University Cosmo- politan Club, an organization of stu- dents from foreign countries. She had given Cornell $1,000,000 for a club for all the students in memory of Mr. Straight, as hts will requested her to take an interest in the univer- sity At Cornell, Mr. Elmhirst was recog- | nized as a leader among the intellec- tuale. His political views were con- sidered advanced, but he was not a| Soclalist. After receiving a degree | at the Cornell Agricultural School, he went to India, where he was associat- ed with Rabindranath Tagore, Indian poet and philosopher, and taught ag- riculture in the International Univer- sity founded by Tagore near Cal- | mhirst’s fortune at the time of her first marriage was estimated | at $15,000,000. She has interested her- | self in a variety of matters that have ! attracted public attention. Her home on one occasion was thrown open for | a tea to mothers of 25 children who paraded here in April, 1822, for amnesty for 114 war-time prisoners in Fort Leavenworth Penitentiary. She also has given financial assist- ance to the cause of Sacco and Van- zetti, socialists, convicted of murder, sachusett Elmhirst inherited millions William C. Whitney, | ho was Cleveland's Secretary of the | av and from her uncle, Oliv er ! | Huzard Payne, Standard Oil treasurer. | Her second marriage is similar to her| first in some respects. The poor son of | a missionary, Willard D. Straight, was hold of a career in finance and diplomacy when he married Dorothy | Payne Whitney, in Geneva, in 1911.
