THE sTRANGLE HOLD
Lost Wrestling Match with J. J. Rooney
to Chas. Norbeck.

Chicago, April 25.-Because Chas.
Norbeck of Sweden, refused to release
John ]. Rooney in strangle hold in
the third bout of their Graeco-R Roman
wrestling match here, Thursday night,
the referee gave Rooney the decision
and the match. This created great ex-
citement, for Norbeck had won the
first fall and Rooney the second, and
there was plenty of interest in the de-
Gliding bout.
After II minutes of fast work in the
first bout Rooney was downed with a
body hold, quickly shifted into a half
Nelson. The second bout was another
of speed, both men giving a good exhi-
bition of Skill in the game. But
Rooney's endurance was the better and
it took him only II minutes to put
Norbeck to his shoulders with a bar
lock and half Nelson.
The third bout had progressed but
six minutes when the referee inter-
ferred and gave Rooney the fall and
match.

A SECRET MARRIAGE
Results from Acquaintance Made on
Train a Year Ago.

Chicago, April 25.-A romance which
began year ago on the Overland
Limited express in California, ended,
last night, in a secret marriage in the
First Presbyterian church. The father
Annex, knew nothing of the affair un-
til it was all over.
James G. Darden of Chicago, one of
the vice-presidents of the American
Can Co, was the hero of this love story
and Miss Marie Elise Ross of Brooklyn,
n. Y, the bride. Miss Ross is the
daughter of j. NJ. Ross, a member OF
the firm of Ross & Snyder, millionaire
lumber dealers.
Mr.. Darden is 80 years of age and his
bride is 20. a year ago he was in Cali
fornia and while in his way to Chicago
he met Miss Ross, who was a passenger
on the same train. The day after Miss
Ross reached her home, near Prospect
Park, Brooklyn, she received a letter
from her travelling companion. A regu-
lar correspondence developed but sud
denly Miss Ross stopped. For several
months Mr.. Darden did not hear from
her until yesterday when he learned
that she and her father had arrived at
the Auditorium on their way east from
California.
Mr.. Darden called, proposed and was
accepted, although Mr.. Ross was left
out of the secret. \ license was pro-
cured and with two friends, the party
proceeded to the first Presbyterian
church where the marriage ceremony
was performed by the Rev. VIM. Chi
chester. Later the bride and groom left
on Southern trip to spend their honey
moon, after Mr.. Ross had given then
his blessing, and left for the East.

MUST BE LIBERAL.
Methodists Considering How to Get
Young People Into Church.

Chicago, April 25.-"If the clergy OF
the Methodist Episcopal church expect
to keep their young men and women
in the field they must do away with
old restrictions against card playing
dancing, the attendance at theatres. II
they are not allowed to follow the die
tates of their conscience they will at
tend churches where they will be al
lowed to or they will not attend church
at ALL"
This in substance was the declara-
ton set forth at dinner at the Union
League Club attended by 65 prominent
Methodist ministers and laymen OF
Chicago. The proposition received
general discussion in which Bishop
Hamilton, L. d.. Condee and Robert
Quarle took leading parts.
IF we do not take active steps
toward arousing interest in the church
on the part of our young men and
women we shall stand alone in our old
age, there will be none to take the bur-
den from our shoulders when We pass
away" said Mr.. Quarle. IF we seek
to bind the young people down toe
closely or draw too tight the reins we
cannot hope to keep them with us.
II recommend that all laymen and
clergymen to whom the interests of the
Methodist church are dear, organize
around this question and insist that
at the next general conference the
present regulations and restrictions be
removed"
Another important movement set on
foot at the meeting was the consolida-
ton Of all the book interests and
periodicals of the church in this
country.

ney General l.. r. Willy created SEN
sation and astounded the judge, lawyers

where it stands under the law passed
1t wants to know whether it will be en-
forced or whether such unwarranted
statements will be allowed The court
knows the wishes of the government and
it is to be presumed that it knows its
own rules"
Judge Odlin replied:
THE court will determine the case ac-
cording to law. The court wants you to
understand that it believes individuals
have rights as well as governments
The defence had asked for a delay OF a
week owing to counsel having been dis
qualified on account of not passing the
Filipino standard of law. The hearing
of the demurrers in the case was post
poned until May 3.
