Heiress to Millions May Have EIoped With an EngIishman.
FATHER IGNORED BY POPE.

Daughter of Millionaire EIudes Maic
 In New York HoteI-Parent Gives
 Up His Roosevelt Trip and Joins In
 Search For Her.
 Sea Girt, N. J., Oct. 5.-Forsaking the beautiful home of her parents in Spring Lake, Miss Helen Maloney, daughter of Martin NIaloney, mil. lionaire Standard Oil man, who was made a marquis by the pope and one of the most prominent Catholics in this country, is somewhere in New York, it is believed, and may be the wife of Samuel Clarkson of England, of whom little more is known than that he is man of pleasing personality and seemingly with much leisure.
 The couple left the home of the young woman in Spring Lake on last Tuesday afternoon, and yesterday morning her mother hastened to New York city. The millionaire father, who started on last Sunday to join Presi- dent Roosevelt, received word on Wednesday of his daughters probable elopement. He left the presidential party at once and arrived here yester- day He and his wife spent the entire day and evening searching for their daughter.
 Before leaving her country home Mrs Maloney denied she had received word from her daughter that she had been married to the Engishman, but she said there was a special delivery letter in the house addressed to her husband, which would not be opened until he should arrive here from the west The letter, Mrs. Maloney said, probably was from her daughter and explained the young woman's absence from home.
 Will Welcome the Couple.
 Mrs. Maloney said it was unfair to assert her daughter and Clarkson had eloped, as neither she nor her husband were particularly prejudiced' against the young man. The mother asserted that if she found her daughter had married Clarkson she would invite the couple to spend their honeymoon in this country.
 Clarkson was a guest in the Maloney home He is about twenty-four years old, and Helen Maloney is twenty three. They left the house, known as the White House by the Sea, one of the nL of fbA cf nf, Tuesday morning. Helen told her mother she intended to go shopping in New York. A French maid accompa- nied the two to the city, but the cou- pie had no difficulty in slipping away from her. They left her seated in the lobby of the Waldorf Astoria while they went into the dining room and had luncheon.
 After the meal the couple slipped away unseen by the maid, who sat in the hotel lobby until Q ?. m. It finally dawned on her that Miss Maloney had eluded her, and she telephoned to the mother. Search was made for the couple, and it was learned they had had dinner in Sherry's. Whither they went after that is not known, but the friends and relatives of the young wo- man believe it is almost certain she and Clarkson were married.
 Houghton Remembers a Pair.
 The relatives believed also there was a strong probability the couple were welded by the Rev. pr. Houghton in ! the Church of the TransfiguratiOn. Dr. Houghton said last night that couple who answered the description oF Miss Maloney and Clarkson were married by him, but he did not remember their | names. The marriage record, Dr. Houghton said, was locked up. and his private secretary. who had charge of 1t, was away and would not return until Monday.
 That Miss Maloney would get mar. ried without the pomp that accom- panied the wedding of her sister. Mrs. Margaret Frances Ritchie, wife of L. Carberry Ritchie, was predicted by her friends. She was of an exceeding ly romantic nature. Two years ago she was in love with a Princeton stu dent. Her parents objected to his at- tentions and took her abroad for an ex- tended trip. They intended that the girl. who then was twenty-one and who had received birthday gift of Sj0O00 from her father. should forget the Princeton man, and they succeed ed. But in forgetting that attachment she formed another. and the parents became more anxious than before.
 The man with whom Miss Maloney fell in love when abroad was Clark: son. He paid ardent court to her. so her father and mother hastened back with her to this country. Clarkson followed and arrived here toward the end of last summer. It was said he mot the young woman clandestinely and that in Ouler 10 avoid further se- cret meetings her parents invited the young man to live in their home.
