Albany, y. Y, Feb. IL. - What the
League of American Wheelmen in an
nual convention declined to do was Of
equal Importance, if not greater. than
those things they did. They declined
TO allow professionals, no matter Of
what standing. to either full or asso-
ciate membership in the league. They
refused to allow the assembly at it's
meetings to select the city for the an
nual meets. They declined by a
heavy vote to allow local option for
Sunday racing. They declined to
amend at all the section Of the consti.
tuition that provides only for amateur
riders and draws the color line. The
things they did were to divide the
league into consulates Of twenty-five
clubs. each allowing amateurs to ex-
change their prizes for anything but
cash. They placed road racing under
the espionage of the racing board.

Hortense Monteverde will be tried
for perjury in Brooklyn, and in this
lies a romantic story. She came from
the Pyrenees ten years ago and became
newsgirl, selling papers at the Broad
way ferries in Brooklyn, where three
years ago she met William j. Vance,
81 years old.
Vance was married, but he and Hor-
tense, it is declared, were married on
Nov. 2, 1895, at the rectory of st. Bar
nabas' church, in Bushwick avenue,
Brooklyn, the Rev. Dr. Cartwright per-
forming the ceremony before witnesses.
They lived together for time, and
child was born to Hortense. Vance then
deserted her, and, she alleges, was cruel
to her. She complained several times
in court. Mrs. Vance, however, has
now had him arrested for bigamy, and
Hortense has declared to the grand jury
he is not her husband, and on this lies
the charge of perjury.

Getting Rid of Mormons.

A band Of Mormon elders has been
in Taylor county, Fla, for over six
months working quietly in remote SEQ
tions. A party of 18 men, well armed,
recently visited their camp, and, after
stripping the preachers, gave them a
dose of 'birch bark" and one Of them
a partial coat of tar and feathers. They
then escorted them to the limits Of the
county and assured them that if they
were heard from again lead would be
given them instead of this milder pun
ishment. The elders re-established their
camp across the county lines, and eight
women left their homes and went with
them, all intending to move to Utah
soon.
