EZETA-WRIGHT MARRIAGE
VIII 1t Take Place is the Question Interesti
Two Continents

Two continents,
VIII Miss Ida Dent Wright. of Atlanta
become the wife of the president-elect of
Salvador?
That Is a question in which the people of
the United States and of our little sister re-
public are just now evncing q great deal of
interest.
When the first announcement came of the
matrimonial alliance of so great Importance
hearty and sincere congra tuations were
showered upon Miss Wright by her many
friends In Atlanta-congratuatio that were
IN reality meant for the atiianced husband
for his good fortune in winning charming
woman to be his wife. This international
marriage became a favOrite theme for news
paper writer's and all the illustrated papers
contained elaborate sketches Of the valiant
general of Salvador and his beautiful fancee.
The surprise then with which General
Ezeta's denial was received can better be
imagined than described.
The general sentiment was that there must
be some mistake in the denial. And this
seems to be the case, for in 4 special cable
yesterday Mrs. Marie Wright Indignantly
denied the report that the wedding would
not occur.
Two weeks ago Mrs. Marie Wright, the
mother of the young lady. in Washing
ton and made al arrangements for the we'd
ding to occur at st. Matthew's church there
in October. Mrs. Wright and her daughter
purchase trousseau.
Miss Wright invited several very we'll
known young ladies in Washington and New
York to be her assistants. Among them is
Miss Harrydell Hallmark, formerly of Au-
gusta, but doing literary work in New
York. Miss Hallmark and Miss Wright have
been intimate friends for some time and
Miss Hallmark was to have been maid of
honor at the wedding When the story of
the denial appeared The Constitution tele-
graphcd Miss hallmark to ascertain what
truth there might be III it. She was in
structed to cable Mrs. Wright in Paris and
to ascertain from San Francisco whether the
consul of Salvador who gave out the denial
was authorized TO do
Miss Hallmark just heard from San Fran
cisco yesterday. She teeglaphed:
Il have just received u telegram from the
Salvadoran consul general at New York, who
is in San Francisco. He says he presi-
dent Ezeta's letter to the consul at San
Francisco denying the engagement"
Later came this message:
Mrs Wright who is in Paris cables an
indignant denial of the report. She says the
marriage is to occur in October. Should Il
revolution be on at that time the marriage
Will take place by proxy"
Miss Hallmark adds
Il have seen letters signed by him referring
to the marriage to take place in Washington,
and l know that $4,000 from a Salvador
bank was deposited here to Miss Wright's
credit with which TO purchase household
furniture"
So that is the status of the case. There
seems to be decided conflict of testimony or
rather Il decided difference of opinion and
the public continues to ask, will the marriage
occur?
He is a Brave General.
The funny complications surrounding the
Ezeta Wright wedding that is, or is not, TO be
make interesting everything concerning the
two people who occupy the central positions
in the controversy.
Is the Ezeta denial genuine or was it sent
on by some Ezeta other than the gallant
general?
The dispatches from Washington last Thursday
advanced this theory Of mistaken identity and
a good many people in Atlanta believe that
to be the real situation. Miss Wrights friends
