AFFECTS MANY MARRIAGES
Marie ReId's Matrimonial and Mater
nal Troubles Involve Laws
of the Catholic Faith.

ROME, Oct. 5.-The statement is made
that the presence in Rome the end Of this
month Of Mgr. Chapelle will result In de-
cisive action with regard to the claims OF
Prince Rospigliosi in the matter OF securing
the performance of a religious ceremony
with Princess Rospigliosi. The Reid-Park-
hurst marriage was celebrated by Mgr.
Chapelle when he was pastor Of St Math-
ew's church, Washington.
Prince Rospigliosi threatens to create a
scandal II his religious marriage with the
princess is not allowed. He maintains that
Mgr. Chapelle did not obtain the necessary
dispensation for Mr.. Parkhurst, and that
Miss Reid married Mr.. Parkhurst without
knowing that he was not Of the Catholic
faith. Princess Rospigliosi has applied for
the annulment OF her marriage with Park
hurst. The matter involves change In
canonic laws, which will affect thousands
OF marriages in the United States. The
princess was Miss Marie Reid of Washing
ton. d. O.. and was married frst to Fred

KEEP UP SEARCH FOR HUSsMAN
No Trace of Missing Sugar Factory
Fireman Has Yet Been
Found.

FREMONT. Oct. 5.-(Speclal) dis
appearance Of Ernest Hussman from Leav-
lit still continues a mystery though every
thing points to the conclusion that he was
killed for his money. The lime pit was
dragged yesterday without any result. The
lime solution is not strong enough to com
peteiy destroy a BODY and II he was
thrown in there his body will probably be
found. The search has not been abandoned
and large force of men is at work today,
including a couple OF detectives. The night
that Hussman disappeared he brought his
dinner pail to the engine room as usual
and 1t was found the next day where he
left It. The night that he disappeared a
couple of men, both strangers, drove up ia
the main gaze of the factory grounds and
wanted to go into the factory. The watch
man refused to admit them, and later two
men were seen trying to climb over the
fence at some distance from the gate.
Nothing else of a suspicious nature oc-
Cured around the premises that night ac-
cording TO the recollection Of the employees,
and the officers claim to place but little
confidence in this story. Hussman worked
at the factory last season and WAS con-
sdered one of its most reliable men He
occasionally came to Fremont but had no
intimate friends here. He was a quiet
fellow who attended to his own business
and had little to say to his companions OF
his personal affairs, though he was gener-
ally known to usually have considerable
money about his person.

FIGHTING AT SANTA MARTA
Colombian Government Forces and
the RevOIutionists Reported to
BE stiII Exchanging Fire.

KINGSTON. Oct. 5.-The British steamer
Para, belonging to the royal service.
arrived here today from Co II, brings
reports Of a serious situat. RI 'nta
Marta, Colombia, whence the Brt, =
Retribution has proceeded for the, ~
Of affording protection to the ras
there and other British interests. Accot
ing to the reports brought by Para, fight
ing is still going on at Santa Marta be-
tween the Colombian revolutionsts and
the government forces. The Magdalena
river is completely cut of from communi-
cation. The revolutionists hold Teneriffe,
near Santa Marta, and have four quick
firing guns at this point. Last week the
force at Tenerlffe captured senor La Forest,
Colombian minister OF state, who was COM
ing from Bogots.
Para also reports that owing to the
rebel success in the vicinity Of Santa
Marta. the government has sent back from
the isthmus to the vicinity OF Santa Marta
a large body OF troops on board the gov
eminent gunboat Cartagena The fighting
is proceeding in the vicinity Of Santa Marta
with considerable success by the govern,
ment forces.
The gunboat Libertador, formerly the
British steamer Ban Righ and lately known
as Bolivar, which arrived at Barranquila
recently in the service of the Colombian
government, is in need of repairs. Its boil
ers are In bad condition and 1t can only

AGAINST FUNST0N'S VIEWS
DinwiddIe of the Anti-SnlOOn League
stII Defends she LIaunrIess
Army Post.

SPRINGFIELD, o.. Oct 5.-Edwln Din
widdie, president of the American Anti-Sa-
loon league gave out the following state
ment today with reference to the attitude
Of the league on the army canteen.
"If such reports as published from Gen
eral Funston are correct two things are ap-
parenta1 First, the canteena or beer selling
army saloons so debauched the men in SER
vice that these conditions of drunkenness
and disorder exist not by reason Of its aboli-
tion, but because its presence during twelve
GERS and men; second, when generals and
commanding officers are ready to state that
they cannot maintain discipline without a
beer saloon, II Is certain proof of their in =
competency.
I'VE demand a fair trial OF the post ex-
change system with the canteen eliminated
Congress appropriated 100000 to improve
the mems condition and to add 5 cents a day
to their rations, a laudable change in the
governments policy. The people will never
consent to the return of the canteen with
out trial OF this substitute. There is
a serious temperance problem in the army;
We advocate the estoppage of Official sa-
looms, provision for the recreation and So
ciabillty Of the men and disciplinary orders
against drunkenness.
I'VE advocate the present law on the
broad principle that the government should
neither be In the saloon business, permit
| premises to be used for such purposes mol
officially tempt its soldiers to drink"
