THEY MAY BE MARRIED YET
But a Bro'her-in-Law's Interference
Suoils a Honolulu Romance.

San Francisco. March 14.-Honolulu
society is talking mainly now of the
Uay in which Miss Bessie Along,
daughter OF the Chinese millionaire
was prevented from marrying /. L.
Burns. a young Californian, who fell in
love with her the first time he saw the
girl at a party in Honolulu. Burns had
uuarreled with his wife in this city,
and she had taken her little child to
Yokohama to visit relatives. So he de-
termined to get a divorce and marry
Miss Bessie. who has a fortune in her
own right Yariously estimated at from
$40, 600 to $4,000
Though half Chinese and half Ha-
waiian. the Along girls move in the
best society and are highly educated.
One of them married Capt. Whiting, of
the United States Navy, several years
ago. One of Miss Bessie's brotherS-in-
law. who is a lawyer, did not fancy
Burns. and he persuaded the girl
mother that the young man was simply
after her money. The lawyer obtained
possession of a letter which Burns wife
had written. agreeing to a divorce, and
when the suit came up he disclosed the
facts to the authorities. and a divorce
was denied. The marriage is off. but
Miss Bessie is still true to Burns. and
he may manage TO secure his divorce
in California and marry yet.

THE ENGAGEMENT Is BROKEN.
4 Lover Causes the Arrest of His
Sweetheart.

sweetheart.
New York, March 14-When pretty nine
teen-year-old Sarah Havener met Louis
Wanesling at a dance i'm Jersey City some
months ago she never for a moment i'm
agined that one day she would be a pris-
oner al police headquarters upon a charge
preferred by the man who that night
showed her so Huch attention. Yet on
Saturday night Sarah was led a prisoner
into police headquarters by Detective Ne
Nally, charged by Wanesling with embez-
zling $40.
Sarah is saleswoman in a department
store. and lives at No. 132 Pacific Avenue
Jersey City. Wanesling is a barber. an |
resides at No. 20 Gregory Street.
1t was case of love a first sight when
they met, and in the course of time
WaneslingS devoted attentions had their
reward. for Sarah promised to be his
wife Wanesling, being of a provijeat
turn of mind. proposed to his love that
their savings be laid aside toward the .ur-
nishing of their future home. Sarah
agreed, and was made custodian of the
fund, which was deposited by her in Il
local bank.
The course of the true love of Wines
ling and Sarah ran smoothly for Il time
and the housekeeping fund grew apace
But like all lovers. Sarah and WaneSliag
quarreled and when she no longer smiled
upon him Wanesling demanded that she
return his share of the fund, which
amounted to $40. Sarah, however, re-
fused so Wanesling hied himself to Po-
lice Justice Nevin and from the latter Sc
cured a warrant for his former sweet
hearts arrest upon charge of embez-
zling $40.
Detective McNally found Sarah AT her
| home and escorted her to police head
| quarters There she was detained for a
time, until the arrival of a bonlsman.
when she was released.
Justice Nevin will hold an examination
| in the case in the first criminal court to-
| day.
Sarah who now, womanlike. doubtless
| hates Wanesling as ardently as she mere
| tofore loved him, denies that she wrong
| fully holds any money of his, but states
| that whatever funds she was custodian CT
were her own.

who is said to have had hand in dis
posing of about So 900 in contracts under
the last administration of Brooklyn. Is
expected to go before the grand jury in
that borough today, and make clean
breast Of his connection with the scan
dal exposed by Comptroller Coler. Ger
tain men standing in high social and
political life of Brooklyn. and who held
office under, Mayor Wurster, are tremb-
ling today for fear of the disclosures
which contn,tors may make.
Contractor Dobdy had a long confer
ence. il is said. on Saturday afternoon
IN the Office OF his lawyer. jerry Wern-
berg, in Brooklyn. with Assistant Dis
trict Attorney John f. Clarke and Dep
uty Corporation Counsel Almet r. jerks.
one Of the court stenographers was
present. and the result Of the meeting
was carefully guarded from the public.
A friend of Contractor Doody made no
secret Of the fact that Doody would tell
all he knows about those mysterious
contracts. He does not propose t.
shoulder all the blame in the matter. es-
peCially as, il is said. other prominent
officials got their share Of the profits.
Shortly after he took Office COmptrOll-
er CoIcr discovered that about $50 0op was
missing from the water fund in Brook
Ign. He discovered that this money had
been paid out for emergency work. "
The money has been paid in sums of
- 0Go or less, and in this way the Off
Gals of the city works department ha I
got around the necessity of advertising
for bids The alleged firm of Thomas
Frazier & Co. did most of the work Id
consisted mainly in filling up certain
streets where the sewer pipes came
above the surface.
Contractor Daniel DoOdy has admit
ted. in effect that he was the firm of
Thomas Frazier * Co. All the bills for
dirt filling had the 20. X" Of Water

District Attorney Marean declined to
say yesterday what the alleged confer
ence with Contractor Doody on Satur-
day was about. Deputy Corporation
Counsel jerks said he would be wilin.
to wager that the city would sue for the
return of any money that had been paid
to contractors illegally. 1t is expected
that the grand jury will make very
strong preSentment against the business
methods pursued by the last administra-
ton of the city works department.
Some indictments are also looked for
next Friday. when the grand jury re-
ports its findings.
