WASHINGTON COUPLE
SEEK GRETNA GREEN
Marrying Parson" at Rockville Ties
Matrimonial Knot and Love Laughs
at Parental Objections.

Another romance of two young people
in Washington eliminated in conven-
tional fashion this morning in Rockville
when Miss Hattie S. Stowe became the
wife of Ira T. Byram-
Parental objection in the case of the
young man did much TO pave the path
Of true love with obstacles, but the well
known and ready powers of accommo-
dation of the Rev s. r. White, the
Rockville marrying parson, were
brought to mind and the young couple
boarded an electric car at. 1890 o'clock
and in just one hour We're made man
and wife. They will go TO the home OF
a married sister of the groom in Mary
land to await the result of the news
when it reaches their respective honces.
Miss Stoves home is at 91J G Street
northwest, where she lives with her
grandmother and an aunt Mr.. Byram
resides at 2024 II Street northwest. His
f. ther is n weil-known contractor. and
1t is said that objection 10 the marriage
was based solely on the youth of the
principals.
Miss Stowe is said ohe nineteen
and Mr. Byrau eighteen Their ages
were given in the license as twenty-one
and twenty-five.
Mr.. and Mrs. Byram were accom-
panied 10 Rockville by a mutual friend.

HAWAIIAN BALLOT
FRAUDS IN COURT
Investigating Irregulari-
ties by Republicans.
BASE TRICKERY is ALLEGED
Matter Has Been Taken by Democrats
Before the Federal and Terri
torial Grand Juries.

HONOLULU, Dec. 3t.-Two investiga-
tions into the trickery and coercion al
legged to have been practiced by Repub-
licans at the recent election are now in
progress.
The Territorial grand jury has had
the matter under inquiry for more than
week, while the Federal grand jury
was called into session yesterday for
the purpose of looking into alleged cleo
ton frauds.
The impression among the Democrats
seems 10 be that the chances of getting
hearty cooperation are better before a
Federal grand jury than they would be
before a Territorial body.
While no evidence in any way impli-
eating Attorney General Lorrin Andrews
was adduoed at the Territorial grand
Jury. still it is said that it would hardly
be reasonable to expect his department
to be in hearty accord with the prosecu-
tion of any of the men who had been
political iieutenants under the attorney
general during the recent election.
The attorney general was in charge of
the Republican campaign in the Fourth
election district on the island of Oahu
This district takes in part of the city
of Honolulu The work was spIendidly
conducted by the Republican managers,
for precincts supposed and generally
conceded to be Democratic strongholds
were carried by large nlajorities for the
Republican ticket.

In 1909 the receipts amounted to SIS

year and the expenditures aggregated
s5l2. .o0o,00 showing an increase in

Tflis rise in expenditures was due prfn-

OF maintaining the Navy Department,

were S23,0oo,0c9 in excess of those for
1903, and S15.00o.090 additional was paic
