MRS. MINER ADMITSIT
THE WEDDING TOOK PLACE AS
ALREADY PRINTED.

Mrs. Charles T. Yerkes yesterday admit
ted that she was the wife of Wilson Miner
Of California. Miner has been cheeriully
admitting the fact ever since the ceremony
was performed last Tuesday night Mrs
Yerkes says she did the denying because
of desire to avoid publicity 1t has be-
come apparent that her method was an
tique and not practically successful from
the anti-notoriety point of view.
Young Mizner left the Hotel Astor Just
before IL O'Clock yesterday morning. TAX
ing two suit cases with him, and leaving
the remainder of his baggage to be for
warded by express, he was driven In an
electric cab to the Yerkes mansion. He ar
rived there about Ills o'clock. Leaping
from the cab, he was met by the group OF
newspaper men, who asked him to induce
MS bride to grant an interview.
The Bride Admits It.
Il will certainly ask her, he added cour-
teously, as he marched up the wide front
steps and through the doors, which were
opened as If by magic at his approach.
Half an hour later the newspaper men
were summoned and the butler ushered
them into the little Japanese reception room
al the right of the main entrance.
Ihere Mr.. Miner met them and said Mrs
Miner had consented to an interview of a
few words
'tShe has not been very we'll for the last
two days. he added land is not dressed for
receiving. For that reason she can appear
only on the balcony in the inner court but
from there she win say few words"
With that explanation the happy bride
groom led the way to the glass enclosed
marble court surrounded by a balcony at
the height of about twenty feet AS he
marched at the head of the little band he
called out endearingly, waving his hands
JoyfuIly, "Oo-eei Oo-ee!' somewhat after
ftG
The bride quickly responded by appearing
on the balcony. She wore a rose-colored
silk wrapper. Her wealth OF black hair had
been dressed carelessly and evidently in
haste. She is a woman of about medium
height, with well-formed figure, not in any
way stout. She has large black eyes and
long eyelashes, well defined, nicely arched
eyebrows and oval face, with plump cheeks
and rosy lips. She looked, even in the way
she was dressed, not more than thirty-five
at the very outside. She has a very pleas
Ing smile. While not one of her features is
distinctive, her face indicates a cheerful,
loving and agreeable disposition.
As she smiled charmingly down on her
young husband, the picture recalled wildly
that of the balcony scene in Romeo and
Juliet"
Here is an audience for YOU" said Mr.
Miner affectionately ''They want you to
say something about our marriage"
Yes, dear" she replied. 'but I don't
know what l can say"
I'VE would like to have you straighten
out little misunderstanding that has
arisen in the last few days over the incl
dent" said one of the newspaper men as
they stood all with their heads back and
their eyes turned to the figure leaning over
the railing of the balcony.
Observation-Disclosures repeated the smiling
bride. Yes; that's 1t; that's the most
pleasant way of putting it,
''Will you issue a statement on the sub
ject later on?' she was asked
Why. no. don't think it is necessary"

not fifty, but eighty.
She Gave Them Nothing.
81 want you to correct an assertion print
ed that I settled a million dollars on Mr..
Mizner." said Mrs. Miner. 81 gave him
nothing. Did I Wilson,"
mo, indeed" answered Wilson, between
the puffs of a Russian cigarette.
You never asked for anything, did you,
Wilson," she proceeded.

''There!" exclaimed Mrs. Yerkes- Miner,
as she nodded her head and smiled with
satisfaction.
MY husband (referring to Mr.. Yerkes)
never expressed a wish that 1 should not
marry again, but he did elicit from ME a
promise that I would lie beside him In the
mausoleum over there" She bowed her
head in the direction of Greenwood GEM
etery.
II told Mr.. Mizner that, and he said" she
added with a charming little laugh, We'll

you on a tree 1 replied. didn't /, Wilson,
The young Californian laughed loudly IN
his boyish fashion, and said, You surely
did"
Now, in respect to our marriage, Mrs.
Miner continued, Il may say that Mr..
Mizner was very good to me all through my
troubles. l don't know what SHOULD have
done without his help and sympathy AS

ideas are almost Identical. / am sure We
shall be very happy together"
