Two Continents Are Stirred Up Over
the Reports That w. n.
bilt is to be Married to Mrs.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. One of Them
Will Discuss the Natter.

Paris, April 21.-The American colony
here has been considerably exercised
by the persistent reports of the ap-
preaching marriage of William K. Van
derbilt. Most of these reports came
from New York, following the court
proceedings, but all persons here have
declined to give any definite informa-
ton on the subject. At a late hour this
afternoon when a cal was made at the
Vanderbilt residence and a eques sent
in for information concerning the cur
rent rumors, word was returned from
Mr.. Vanderbilt that he was so busy
engaged hat he had been obliged to
deny himself to all representatives of
the press and to decline either to af-
firm or deny the reports.
Practically the same response was
given at the residence OF Mrs. Ruther-
ford. Those occupying confidential re-
latiOnS with Mr.. Vanderbilt declined to
discuss the reports of his marriage
Edmund Kelly, counsel for the United
States embassy, and Secretary Wig
maud. said they knew nothing regard
ing Mr.. Vanderbilt's interest in Paris,
and he has not been consulted regard
ing the legal formalities for marriage,
which are indispensable under the
French laws, nor are the officials of the
embassy or consulate aware of any
papers relating to such a marriage.
When a request was made tonight at
the residence of Mrs. Rutherford for a
confirmation or denial of the report,
word was returned that no answer
would be given. One Of the women in
the house expressed Indignation at the
reports and characterized them as silly
rumors. 1t is understood that Mrs.
Rutherford denies being engaged to
Mr.. Vanderbilt.
Notwithstanding the reticence of all
parties concerned the members OF the
American colony hold strongly to the
opinion that Mr.. Vanderbilt shortly
will be married.

the Offenses were committed and since
that time the officers have been under

turned over to a trading company at
q high rate. Although in the hands
of the trading company. the potatoes
were carried on the books of the COM
missary officer as stock in hand, until
some officer made purchases from the
company when the stock of potatoes
were reduced to meet the credit at the
COmpanv'S Office and the officer making
the purchases would be charged with
potatoes. All the officers stationed at
Skaway at the time were implicated.
though it is stated at the war depart
ment that there were different degrees
of responsibility.
Another Alaska case relates to al
legged shortage in the accounts of an
officer. The officer claimed that his
safe was broken open and the money
stolen. The authorities decided on
court martial. The names of the Off
GERS were made public at the depart
ment. Most of them have changed sta
ton since the irregularities are said to
have occurred.
