after it in the interest of a Nickers-C ramp
combination
Though the negotiations for the union
of interests have had setbacks when they
appeared to be in the most favorable
stage, there has been no time when the
/ prospect has seemed to be so good. as at
/ present
For more than a year the Vick5rs-
Maxim Company has been endeavoring
to obtain a foothoId in the American field
! First, 4 combination with the Cramp in
/ tereSt was postponed, and, later, the for
nation of q corporation to take in both
the MidvaIe Steel Works and Cramps
| These negotiations fell through when
they seemed to be in a favorable stage,
and the attention of the promoters was
turned to Bethlehem Steel.
a year ago, when it was thought a
deal to include Midvale was probable,
/ Charles H. Cramp outlined in an inter
view the plans he had in view for ex-
tension of the equipment of the company
/ He stated that he had long desired 20
/ bring about such an expansion as would
make it possible for his company to turn
/ out 4 warship complete, and to provide
within itself ship, aTmor, and guns. The
I formation of a company to take in the
/ three interests mentioned would result in
/ the extension which Mr.. Cramp held to
/ be desirable
/ Bethlehem is the only American steel
works which has the rights to the Krupp
1 armor process, and which also has a com
plete gun-forging plant It is believed that
the combination of the Cramp and Bethle-

Mr. Cramp was seen last night. but de-
ciined to discuss the subject of new

been finally determined upon, and, as the
deal cannot be called closed until the last
detail is arranged. he preferred not to

TOO YOUNG TO GET MARRIED
A Youth and His HrIde-to-Be Fail to
Get "a License.

A detected couple returned to this city
Monday after having vainly visited Bal
timore IN the hope of securing the neces-
sary papers to permit them to be mar
rfed. They were Milo A Barnet, of 427
g Street northwest, who is employed by
the Washington Electric Vehicle Compa-
ny, and Marie J. Hooper, whose parents
live at 100 South Capitol Street.
Barnett Is twenty years old and she is
only sixteen and therein lay the founda-
ton of their trouble, for when the clerk
of the court at Towson, the county seat Of
Baltimore county, demanded the written
consent Of their parents. they being not
yet Of age. they were unable to produce
it and were compelled to defer the we'd
ding. When they returned TO Washing
ton they took the matter quite phiIosophi-
cslIy and concurred IN the opinion that
youth was an obstacle that they would
outgrow They are now back with their
respective parents, much to the satisfac-
ton Of the latter.
