MISS BUSCH ELOPES
 BUT COMES BACK HOME
Could Not Get License, and Father Says He Has No Objections
 to the Man.

St. Louis, December 9-Announcement was made today that Lieut.. Edward Scharrer of Stuttgart Germany and Miss Welhima Busch, daughter of Adolphus Busch the brewer, will be quietly mar ried on New Years day at the Busch mansion here. This announcement came as sequel to the elopement of Lieuten- ant Scharrer and Miss Busch Wednesday night to Belleville, Ill., sixteen miles across the river, which was frustrated by the fact that they were unable to se- cure a marriage license at the late hour, and therefore returned to Miss Busch's home.
 They drove to Bellevlle, found they could not secure license, and then Miss Busch telephoned her father
 "If you intend to be married, come back to St. Louis, and be married at home. [ have no objections to MT. Scharrer as d son-in-law," replied MT. Busch.
 Lieutenant Scharrer arrived from Ger many last Saturday and while stopping at a hotel has been q visitor at the Busch home. He has known Miss Busch since childhood. He is reported to be 20 years of age and she 21

He said that while New Years day had been mentioned during a family conference in regard to the proposed wedding, that no date had been finally decided upon, and that the marriage will not probably take place until later in the year.
