WIDOWHOOD AND
*4,000 IN CASH LURKS
VANCOUVER. Wash., Oct. 9.—
Widowhood with $4,000 in cash into
the bargain as a prospect is doing
much to aid Cupid hereabouts. Inci
dentally this aid to the little God of
Love, in addition to making business
brisk for the county auditor here—
the man wiio issues the licenses, is
provoking a storm of protests from
the mothers of boys and girls alike.
The auditor's office is being flooded
with letters from parents putting
"stop orders” against the issuing of
permits to minor venturers into the j
field of matrimony.
One girl, whom her parents had
reason to suspect was going to get
married, was reported to be only 1 4
years old.
Parents of a son in the army said
they objected to their son's marriage
' first, because he had nothing with
which to support a wife, and second,
J he is a minor and in the service of
his country, so should not form any
entangling alliances which would
have a tendency to impair his effic
iency in time of great stress.
Another mother objected that her
son was a minor and she would not
give her consent to his marriage.
It is the belief that the stories in
the newspapers indicating that sol
diers may :arry insurance for their
wives to the amount of $4,000 has
been responsible for the license rush.
The impression seems to have gained
belief that the government will pay
the $4,000 to the widow, in case of
death in battle and therfe seems to be
a growing desire to take a chance to
become a wealthy war widow. The
glamor of being a war bride, however,
is in no small way responsible for the
desire to wed.
Bloody Shirt Evidence
RED OAK, la., Oct. 9.—Another
link in the chain of evidence pertain
ing to the much discussed “bloody
shirt” was woven Into the record to
day by the state in the trial of the
Rev. Lyn George J. Kelly, charged
with murder in connection with the
Villisca ax slaying.
Mrs. Cora M^rquard, a marker in
a Council Bluffs laundry, testified that
she had opened a package of soiled
garments at the laundry shortly after
the murders and that it contained a
shirt apparently bloodstained. The
state contends this package belongs
to Kelly.
A signed statement of gu'lt that
Rev. Kelly is alleged to have made
in the jail at Logan, Iowa; Aug. 31,
I was admitted as evidence today.
Paul E. Roadifer of Logan. Har
rison county attorney, testified Kelly
had said he was making the statement
because “he thought it the right thing
to do.” ,
Promise and Performance
One of the shining lights among
the Big Business patriots is J. Ogden
Armour, head of the packing com
pany of Armour £ Co., Chicago. Re
cently Mr. Armour wa quoted in the
Chicago Tribune as making this pat
riotic declaration:
“The government can have the
plant of Armour & Co., if it wants
it. . . .We will do all in our pow
er to aid the government.”
Shortly after this statement ap
peared, the following news item was
printed in the Tribune:
“Charges that three Chicago pack
ing companies, Armour & Co., Mor
ris & Co., and Libby, McNeill & Libby
have been buying up the California
tomato crop, bidding up the price to
unprecedented, heights and shutting
out the wholesaler and retailer who
originally bought it directly, were fil
ed with the federal trade commis
sion.;: .« ...
It looks as if there were quite a
difference between Mr., Armour’s pro
mise and hie. performance.—Ex.

THREE TIME WIDOW
CAN’T WED IN ROME
ROME, Oct. 9.—Mrs. Phillip Van
Valkeuburg of New York w*a inform
ed by the American embassy today
that her proposed marriage to the
duke of Oporto, brother of the late
King Carlos of Portugal, ‘preferrab
iy should take place ii, London.’'
While Mrs. Van Valkenburg has a
Connecticut divorce certificate it is!
believed that the lies? 'solution of her1
difficulty would he lour.d in a noil-j
Catholic country, where divorced per
sons can he married in a religious I
ceremony and also in a country
where the relatives of the prospect-j
ive husband con offer no objection to
both civil and religious marriage. I
Mrs. Philip Van Vaikenbiiig was di-j
vorced from her first husband, I.eej
Agnew of Chicago, in 19(K in New.
York. The Bame year she married \V:1-1
Ham Hayes Chapman, then 70 years j
old. Mr. Chapman died ilie following
year leaving an estate of $200,000
to his widow, who was then l^ss than !
31 years old. In 1909 Mrs. Chapman1
became the wife of Philip Van \alk-j
enburg, son of a New York hanker, i
She obtained a divorce from him in j
Putnam, Conn., in February, 191*. j
on the ground of desertion.
HE ADVERTISED FOR A WIFE,
GOT DIVORCED SPOUSE BACK
AUGUSTA, Maine, Qct. 9 —Anna
Cagley, of this state recently became
tired of single life. So she looked up
a copy of a matrimonial paper. In
the paper she saw the advertisement
of a man, who, like herself, was
yearning for the married 6tate.
The advertisement of this man pro
ceeded to tell bis good points in de
tail. He seemed to be just the sort1
of a fellow Anna would want to sit
on the davenport with the remaind
er of her life, while they whispered
soft nothings in each other's ears.
Anna answered the advertisement,
giving a number instead of ,her name.
A correspondence began, and the cou
ple decided to marry.
They went to the city to meet and
be married.
There they found they were divorc
ed husband and wife.
They got married, and are now hap
py.
Mrs. dagley says: “I never knew
what a good husband I had until I
[ saw all his good points set down in
I print. There will be no more di
vorces in this family.”
Mr. Cagley refused to make a state
ment beyond observing, “It pays to
advertise.”
DRIVES AW AY WITHOUT WIFE
AND MYSTERY BAFFLES POLIC E
SEATTLE, Oct. 9.^The police de
! partment had all available men busy
j last night for hours looking for Mrs.
: B. S. Eberhardt, wife of a merchant
of Maltby, Wash.
Mr. Eberhardt reported to the po
| live that his wife had vanished like
I magic. He drove in from Kent, with
| his wife in the back seat of his car.
j He knew that he wife was with him
j when he reached Seattle.
He left Seattle and drove toward
Bothell. He looked around to speak
to his wife and she was gone.
Mr. Ebrehardt was frantic when
the search of the police found no
trace of his wife.
Then the mystery was cleared up.;
Mrs. Eberbardt was located in Kentj
She said that her husband had stop-,
ped on Eastlake avenue to have his
motor examined. She was tired of sit
ting in the car and she got out. She
took a little walk.
Suddenly she saw her husband hop
into, the front seat and spped away.
She could not stop him. She waited
until be had disappeared from sight
and then she took an interurban car
for Kent.
Mr. Eberhardt remembered the stop
on Eastlake avenue when it was re
called to his mind. He absent-minded
ly got back in his car and neglected
to look if his wife were still in her
seat.
Wm. Evans was a passenger on the
Hyak for Bllainar this morning.
