SENSATION IN ROME.
American Woman Married Without the
Sanction of the Vatican.

Rome, July "a great sensation has
been caused here by the action of the
Vatican authorities toward the Princess
Joseph Rospigliosi, an American Her
husband is the head of an ancient fam
lily of clerical nobility, and his brother
is commandant of the Papal Noble
Guard.
On August 26. 1901, Prince Rospigliosi
married here Mrs Marie Jennings Reid
Parkhurst of Washington, the divorced
wife of Col. Frederick H. Parkhurst, of
Bangor, Me. The ceremony was civil,
and hence was not recognized by the
Vatican. Princess Rospigliosi, who is
now on the point of confinement, engage
ed an English blue sister as nurse,
and the latter took up her duties. But
Cardinal Mach secretary of Apostolic
briefs, hearing of this, forbade the sister
to fulfill her duties. on the ground that
the marriage was non-existant. The
prince was furious and exerted all his
influence to overcome the scruples of the
church, but without avail. Eventually he
was obliged to send to England for
nurse The incident is expected to have
important developments.
When the news of the marriage of
Mrs Parkhurst to Prince Rospigliosi
reached the United States it was as
serted at first that the Vatican refused
to sanction her marriage because Mrs.
Parkhurst was a divorced woman. but
that as the prince declared she should
be his wife with or without the sane
ton of the church, sanction was finally
given.
Mrs. Parkhurst is granddaughter of
Samuel Chester Reid, who commanded
the American privateer Brigadieer- GEN
eral Armstrong in the battle at Fayal,
in the war OF 1912. On her side she is de-
scended from the Rowan family of Ken
lucky. About ten years ago, In Wash
ington. she met Mr.. Parkhurst, who is
a member of the Maine legislature and
on Governor Hills staff. with the rank
of colonel.
The couple were married and lived hap
PLY for a time In Bangor. They then be-
came estranged and Colonel Parkhurst
sued for divorce. The divorce was grant,
ed, and Mrs. Parkhurst left the city. At
Bar Harbor she met Prince Joseph, who
fell in love with her.

THE CHANCELLOR
TO DECIDE TODAY
MUCH SPECULATION AS TO WHAT
DECREE IN BELT RAILROAD AND
sEAsoARp AIR LINE LITIGATION
WILL BE.

Chancellor J. c. Carmichael has notified
In the Belt Railroad-Seaboard Air Line
Injunction case this morning at half past
nine o'clock. There is naturally much
speculation among lawyers and railroad
officials as to what the decree will be.
The papers filed in the suit were volum-
nous and several weeks were required
by the chancellor In sitting them.
If the decision is In favor of the Sea-
board and no appeal is taken the work Of
laying tracks in the city will be COM
menced at once. Material enough to lay
ten miles of track was unloaded early
last month, and the construction would
have been well advanced by this time
had 1t not been for the Belts injunction
proceedings.
Mr.. j. M. Barr. vice president and gen.
eral manager of the Seaboard Air Line,
was In Atlanta yesterday. It may be that
he will come to Birmingham this week
and organize his construction depart
ment, so as to be ready TO push the
track laying at the earliest possible mo-
ment.
Officials of the Frisco System Will ar
rive here within the next few days, and
will probably give out their plans for the
extension of their properties at this end
of the line. They have announced their
purpose of developing the Belt, which
the Frisco purchased recently. A good
part of the old track will be relaid and
new tracks added

SEVENTH MAY COME
ONLY ONE MORE KNOT TO BE UN-
TANGLED AND REGULARS WILL
BE IN ENcAMPMENT AT EAST
LAKE.

In all probability troop of the Seventh
United States Cavalry now at Chicka-
manga Park will come to Birmingham
and encamp at East Lake next week
with the First Alabama regiment of
cavalry.
The government has agreed to allow
the regiment to come provided the state
will pay the camp expenses. The state
has agreed to bear the expenses and
now the only difficulty in the way is
whether the regulars can reach Birming-
ham in time.
Should the regulars come to the en-
campment they will march through the
country and it is estimated that it will
take them until July IS to reach Bir-
mingham. This would throw them here
only the last four days of the encamp-
ment. but those interested in the city
are anxious they should be here even
that length of time.
The encampment starts next Monday
afternoon and lasts for one week. There
will be four troops composing the Ala
arrangements for the four troops have
been made at East Lake.
Should the regulars come TO Birming-
ham arrangements will be made for their
accommodation at the encampment. 1t
will mean little additional work as
there are already sufficient tents and
mess hall that will accommodate all.
Governor Jelks and General Brooke,
who is at Governors Island, are keep
ing the wires busy trying to find out
definitely If the regulars will come here,
The news that the regiment would come
