NEW SANT0 DOMINGO
TREATY PROBABLE
By Associated Press.

JSy Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 21-A new
treaty with Santo Domingo probably
will be negotiated.
BY the proposed new agreement the
feature of the treaty previously negoti-
ated, which failed of ratification by the
United States senate, very likely will
be eliminated
By the terms of the proposed con-
vention the United States will not act
as the fiscal agent of Santo Domingo
in full capacity; that is, it will not act
as paymaster OF Santo Domingo in the
liquidation Of that countrys indebted
ness.
The plan suggested by FREDERICK We
lasquez, minister of foreign affairs and
commerce of Santo Domingo, was with
the approv:i of the officials of the state
department. Out of this will grow the
negotiations for the new treaty.
Under the proposed convention the
United States will continue to collect
the customs revenues of the island re-
public, and out of these revenues create
sinking fund for the liquidation OF
the foreign indebtedness of Santo Do
mingo.
By the convention Santo Domingo
will obligate itself to this country tc
use specified proportion of the GUS
toms receipts for the payment of its
Indebtedness, but the United States viii
not act as paymaSter.
1t Is believed at the state department
that the elimination of one or two feat.
ures of the former treaty to which the
senate objected will result in the rati.
ncat1on of the proposed convention
when 1t is submitted to the senate.

manufacturer who shot and killed him
self and his wife here yesterday, has
been involved in much domestic trou-

The woman killed by him was his
second wife. He was divorced from his
first wife in June, 1905. His suit for
divorce was instituted after the wo-
man had been sent by him to visit her
parents in Wooster, Ohio.
He married Mary L. Marks at her
home in Toledo, Ohio, before the ex-
piration of the period which should
elapse under the Kansas law before n
divorced person can remarry. The first
wife returned to Topeka shortly after
the second marriage and threatened
to have the suit set aside, but Curry
agreed to pay $50 month alimony and
she returned to the home of her pa
rents.

In the event that these same Repub-

TRAVELLED MANY MILES T0GET
PARENTS CONSENT
Officers of the Law Strained a Point
and the Youngsters Are Happy
Now-Bicycles Nearly Caused
Their Undoing

While the officers stood about as the
only witnesses, and while Justice
Young of the township court read the
simplest of marriage services, Frank
Schwenck, an 1S-year-old lad of Chi4
cago, yesterday promised to love, cher
ish and obey little Rubie Purdue, his
16-year-old sweetheart, who stood be-
side him.
The faithfulness and devotion of the
youth in his attempts to make amends
for the mistake he unwittingly made
won him many friends, and yesterday,
to bring happiness to the youngsters
and save them from much sorrow, Dep
uty District Attorney Paul Mccormick
strained the law just little point and
allowed a license to be issued without
what might be termed sufficient cor
roboration.
For there is a long story behind the
simple little marriage of yesterday and
many a time both youngsters felt more
like giving up the hard race than like
fighting against the hand of fate, for
they were very young and their trou-
bles occurred so fast that they We're
hardly able to keep up with them.
Courted in Michigan
Back in Michigan, where the little
girl used to live, she had met Frank,
and the two started up a little court
ship. The boy was a manly little chap
and he planned to win his little sweet
heart in spite of the opposition of the
girls parents.
So after much planning the young
sters decided that they would elope and
come to the far west. With his arm
about her and her pretty head resting
on his shoulder, the little "Leander'
! could easily imagine a happy trip and
an "all lived happy ever after" ending
to the trip, and so they decided to
elope.
SO they came west, working their
way, and finally landed in Los Angeles.
The wonder of the case was that the
children We're able to accomplish the
trip with hardly any money and with
out experience. But they did it, and
upon their arrival they promptly
started to work In an attempt to get
enough money to go to Pomona. But
the boy had better scheme, and with
the girl he purchased two bicycles to
ride to Pomona.
Buy Bicycles on Time
The purchase was made on an in
stallment plan proposition, the details
of which Schwenck failed to under
stand, for when he attempted to leave
for Pomona he and the girl were ar
rested.
That was only one of the many
trials and tribulations endured by the
youthful ones.
The boy went to his cell and said
nothing. But later his attorney
learned of his hopes and he placed the
case before the district attorney.

attorney to consider the case, and he
dismissed the complaint against the

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept 21.-At a
meeting of the down town property
owners association today a resolution
was adopted declaring that the in

body that at some date in the near fu-

his lieutenants that "the push" in the
Democratic convention had enough
strength to prevent the nomination of
any part of the non-partisan ticket,
and the weak showing made by the op-
ponents of the non-partisan movement
is SAID TO have made the Republican
machine boss exceedingly wrathful.
After the Democratic convention. by
an overwhelming majority. had nomi-
mated the non-partisan candidates,
Parker issued orders to his lieutenants
to secure control of the various dis
trict conventions. This was accom-
plished by shameless system of pack

result that weak men were nominated
for several offices in an effort to help
the Republican machine men not taken
up by the non-partisans.
Parker on the Anxious Seat
That Parker is very much worried.
especially regarding the supervisoral
and the legislative tickets, is conceded
by Republicans, and his frame of mind
was not improved yesterday by the
action of Martin c. Marsh In declining
the nomination for supervisor of the
Third district. The convention for this
district was openly packed by Repub-
ncans, and Marsh was nominated in
hope of defeating DIR. w. A. Lamb, who
was nominated by the non partisan
committee
Mr.. Marsh yesterday repudiated the
cutthroat tactics adopted by "the

If. while prospecting, we came across
trees bearing strange fruit or nuts, we
would wait until the monkeys came
along. then If they ate we would do
likewise, for what the monkey eats

gained from the natives.
upon one occasion while of on a
five days prospecting tour 1t became
necessary to shoot something for our
dinner. The South American monkey is
the most delicious meat Imaginable.
This is easily understood when one con-
