AN ELOPEhENT SPOILED
BY THE GIRLS FATHER
Elmer Burdette and Alice MoSheu-
vel Tried to Wed.

There was an attempted elopement
yesterday afternoon which failed in it's
early stages. The reason for the failure
of the plan of the two youthful lovers
to materialize was the stern action OF
the young lady's father.
The dramatis personae were Alice
Mosheuvel. aged fifteen, daughter Of An
thony J. Mosheuvel, fireman of Truck
A, living at 341O Street northwest, and
Harold Burdette, the sixteen-year-oll
son OF Elmer Burdette. janitor OF the
Fillmore School. who lives at 2OS0 Thlr-
ty-fifth Street northwest
1t seems that the young couple fell
In love with each other while attend
ing the same school. They finally de-
termined to run off and get married.
and selected Rockville as the place
where the knot could conveniently be
tied without parental interference. Ac-
cordingly young Burdette informed a
cousin named Lester Blackman to be
in readiness to lend assistance.
Burdette and Blaekman therefore met
and first repaired to the Navy Yard.
where Burdette has been employed as a
machinist's apprentice at Sc cents a day,
to draw his two weeks pay.
In the meantime the bride-to-be was
waiting at a Georgetown crossing TO
board alRockviIle car.
Young Burdette. however. had made the
mistake OF confding to his chum his
real intention. This chum promptly in
formed the father of the young girl, who
secured leave OF absence. and found the
girl where she stood waiting for her
lover and her car. He took her by the
arm. and marched her home to correc-
tiUn, and when the young man arrived
he found no bride.
Last night his father reported TO the
police OF the Seventh precinct that his
boy had refused TO come home, for fear
OF corporal punishment for his folly
and IL was thought that he had gone to
Baltimore to get job in lieu OF the
wife he had lost. The police were asked
to locate and apprehend him as fugi-
tive from his parents.
