MONTEREY, Mexico, March 16.— ‘With the refusal of Fugene Zimmer- man, who is reported to be negotiat- ing for control of the Mexican Central Rallroad, to procure a special train for his son-in-law, the Duke of Manches- ter, the latter’s tour of Mexico with a party of distinguished guests has come to an abrupt end. The Duke, the Duchess and their retinue of servants have left for Mexico City, preparatory to returning to the United States. Bulletins of the progress of the ducal party have been received regularly by Zimmerman in his home in Cincinnati, and it is rumored that he did not ap- prove of the tour. A recent acquisition to the party was James Henry Smith (“Silent” Smith), the New York multi- milliopaire. Smith took his leave of the party in Tampico. Rumor has it that the Duke of Manchester and Smith did not prove congenial travel- ing.companions. It is known that the expenses of the trip to the Sierras and back again were met by Zimmerman. He is re- ported to have been keenly disap- pointed when the bulletins informed him several weeks ago that after a meeting between the members of the Gould party and his son-in-law, the Duke of Manchester had withdrawn, owing to the absence of congeniality. Since that time the movements of he Duke’s party have been some- | what erratic and bulletins to Zimmer- man have been increasing in number. The Duke wired to his father-in- law 'a few days ago for a continuance of the favor by which the special trains had been obtained. Requests made subsequently upon the raiiroad authorities indicated that the, order for “specials” for the ducal party had deen countermanded. The Duke’s special car was ceupled to a regular train thereafter, RECONCILED BY STORKS ~ APPROACH ‘Wilkie—lf Edwards and His Wiie “MMD°,’ Epecial Dispatch to The Call.

Their dif- ferences were not afred in court, how- ever. Edwards left Colorado Springs and soon Mrs. Edwards went to San Fran- cisco. There the reunion took place several months ago. Mrs. George W. Trimble, mother of Mrs. Edwards, left Colorado Springs sevaral weeks ago to be with her daughter. Tt is said that Mr. Trimble intimated that when the heir came he would do “the right thing.” This “right thing,” Leadville associates of Trimble say, will be in the neighborhood of $1,000,000 | —a sum he could easily spare without inconveniencing himself. It is further asserted that he has often remarked that he would give just $1,000,000 to be called “‘grandpa.” Mrs. Edwards is his only daughter. Her domestic trou- bles have worried him greatly, but now that they -have been adjusted he is ppy in the thought that there ‘will ~a direct heir to whom he can leave his large fortune when the grim rea calls him. 3 Special .Dispatch, to The Call.
