illness. She had been attended during her
illness by DR.. Woodruff, whose office was
directly over the drug store conducted by
Meyer.

that she had been staying in this city, and
that Dr. Woodruff had made frequent
visits TO her. and that she went by the
name of Mrs. Woodruff.
Dr. Woodruff left Lawrence last week
and went TO Beloit, Kan, to see his wife,
and borrowing her bicycle there, rode to
Clasco, shipped his wife's wheel back to
her. and took the train to st. Joseph. Mrs.
Meyer had been traced to St Joseph. and
it was learned that they registered at the

get possession of the child, claiming that
il had been kidnapped.

for his wife from Kansas City. He ern-
ployed detectives here, and had Woodruff
closely followed several days. A detective
was close on Woodruffs trail when he
left Beloit on a bicycle. When Meyer

in Portland, with his wife and child, he
left for Portland with Edward Kirk, a de-
tective. Woodruff may be brought to this
city to answer charge of kidnapping. A
warrant charging him with this has bee.I

AFTER MANY YEARS.
An Ante-BeIIum Romance Ends in
Marriage of a Virginia Couple.


Capt John Bragg. seventy years old, a
v-<-an of Lees army, and Miss Betty
Proctor. ten years his junior, both of
Prince George County. Va, were married
yesterday morning at the home of Stan
ley Woodson, 1922 Twelfth Street north
west. The ceremony was performed by the
Rev. H. j. Prettyman, a friend of the
groom who met him on the street and
induced him to officiate. The wedding
closed a romance which began in ante
bellum days. Both the bride and the
groom were supremely happy. and acted
as though they were scores of years
younger than they really are.
Il am sure l made a mistake in not
marrying him many years ago." said the
bride. who for years past had withstoOd
the suit ardently pressed by the captain,
who had married twice since the war,
but had returned to his first love.
After the marriage Captain and Mrs
Bragg went on a sightseeing expedition.
Last night they boarded one of the river
steamers for Norfolk. After a wedding
tour of the Virginia seaside resorts they
will go to Mrs. Bragg's home, on Noda-
way River. in Virginia. where she owns
beautiful country place.
The couple came to Washington to get
married Thursday afternoon. Miss Proc
tor had yielded to the suit of the cap
tain, which he pressed with as great per-
sistence us he fought during the rebel
lion They were greatly disappointed
when they found that they could not pro-
cure a marriage license because Memorial
Day was d holiday. The captain had won
the consent of his sweetheart and was in
great haste TO have the ceremony per-
formed He even went to the home of
the marriage license clerk, in the hope of
prevailing upon him to issue the license,
but he was unsuccessful, and he had to
wait until yesterday.
The delay was irksome. but Captain
Bragg was one of the first persons al the
City Hall yesterday morning. He secured
his license, then boarded a car. and soon
reached the home of MIR Woodson. where
his bride-to- awaited him. A minister
had not yet been secured, however, and it
was the intention of the couple TO have
the Rev Frank Bristol, of the Metro
poli.an Church, unite them. Just before
Captain Bragg reached the house he met
his old friend, the Rev II. ]. Prettyman.
Hearty greetings were exchanged and
the captain. only half explaining the situ-
alton. caught the clergyman by the arm
and FASTENED to the house, informing him
at the same time he wanted him to per-
form a marriage ceremony.
After little pr aparation the bride-elect
and groom-elect entered the parlor, and
in the presence of several friends, tine
marriage ceremony was performed.

the Commissioners to the special assess
ments against lots 81 to 3S. block 8.
Brightwood Park The attorneys say
that Mr.. Lander on December u. l900 on
the faith OF tax certificate, purchased
the lots in question for a valuable con-
sideration. Continuing, the attorneys
say:
said certificate showed the property
clear of any assessments for sidewalk,
and before the purchase of said property
your petitioner inspected the premises
and found that there was a sidewalk
in front of the premises and had evidently
been there for some time A few days
ago, and about seven months after the
said purchase of the said property and
after the delivery of the tax certificate,
Mr.. Lander was served with special as
sessment bills for sidewalk laid long be-
fore his purchase.
In view of these facts between the
District and our client, he should Ger
tainly be protected by the certificate is
sued to him under the law. That said
assessment might not at that time have
been made is no answer to this conten-
tion. for the law impliedly requires the
same TO be made within reasonable
time, which in, this case, was manifestly
not done. Mr.. Lander can certainly not
be charged with negligence. He took
every reasonable preeaution to protect
himself and should be now released from
these assessments"
j. w Daniel, the Special Assessment
Clerk, in reporting upon the above state
has 'tAANA Nohii4iiSSiOiASiS 90
follows:
The within mentioned special assess
ment was served May I, 1901. and the bills
were served upon Mr.. Lander on May p.
1901, five months after the purchase of the
lots by him, not seven months, as
stated by his attorneys. This. however,
has no bearing upon the question of can
collation. of the assessment, which is
levied under act OF August Z, 1894 every
provision of which has been carried out
within a reasonable time
1t is understood that the action OF the
Commissioners will be based upon this
report and that Hufty q Hufty will be

POLICE CHIEFS CHOICE.
Major Sylvester Elected President
Over Commissioner Devery.

NEW YORK May 31.-After a fierce
campaign that began on Monday and be-
came very hot last night and this morn
ing William S. Devery. Police Commits
sioner. was beaten this morning in the
election for President of the Association
of Police Chiefs of the United States and
Canada by the narrow margin of one vote
by Major Richard Sylvester of Washing
ton. The result of the balloting announc-
ed by the teller was Sylvester 81, Dew
cry so There were no other nominees
for the office and there had been no
other candidates discussed during the con-
vention.
Sylvester Chief of the Washington po-
lice. had been urged because he might
be able to influence some Federal legis-
lation that the association wanted. Dew
cry was urged because he had been hos
pitable and was de facto chief of police
in the convention city, and because he
had been a target for attack and we
chiefs ought to stand together Those
who voted for Devery to give him a vim
dication were probably equaled by those
who thought that the association ought
not to be used for such a purpose.
Louisville, KY. was chosen as the next
place of meeting.
The news of the election of Major Rich
ard Sylvester, the Chief of the Washing
ton Police Force, as President of the Ma
tional Association Of Chiefs of Police OF
the United States and Canada, was re-
cefved in this city yesterday with express
Sions of qualification in police circles.
Major Sylvester has been in New York
for several days, attending the annual
convention of the association at the Savoy
Hotel, and the news of his election was
all the more agreeable to his friends as
it was entirely unexpected. When Major

he had no idea, so far as is known. of
and at no time was he an active candi-
date fer the office which will greatly add
to mis- already burdensome duties.
1t is believed that Major SylveSter's
election will facilitate the securing of
such legislation as will authorize the es-
tablishment of the Bureau of Criminal
Identification in this city, as an adjunct
TO the Department of Justice The bureau
has been maintained in Chicago for sew
eral years by contributions from the po-
lice departments of many of the large
cities, but it is impossible for the work to
attain its highest efficiency in the detec-
tion and prevention of crime until il is
made national in its scope and is in touch
with the b2ckwoOds hamlet as well al
with the metropolitan cities In order to
thoroughly impress the various members
of Congress with the Importance of the
cation it has been urged that the bureau
be removed Immediately to this city. and
it is thought that the election of Major
Sylvester as the head of the association
will ensure the accomplishment of this
object
