Ward.PresIey Stony DESTROYED.

Ward-Presley Story Disproved.
The story about Representative
Ward, whose name has been promi-
nently mentioned in connection with
the death of Miss Presley, waiting
for Miss Presley at the Grand Trunk
station at Detroit, on Gratiot avenue,
is a fairy tale so far as Miss Presley
is concerned, unless Ward expected
har to take the late afternoon train.
AS a matter of fact she left on the
Pere Marquette evening train which
leaves here at 7:10 p. m, her brother
Frank put her aboard and State High
way Commissioner Earle conversed
with her from Plymouth to Detroit.
He occupied the day coach but she
was in the parlor car. Knowing she
was on the train he looked her up.
On nearing the station he went back
to get his grip, but on getting off at
the depot, he could not find her. Miss
Presley must have hurried out to
avoid him and went directly to the
Wayne hotel, where she registered
under the name of Hall. Stories are
now afloat to the effect that several
persons knew of Miss Presley's condi-
ton for several weeks back. A Lam
sing business man told member Of
the legislature that he was appraised
OF the matter a month ago, but now
says that he cannot remember who
told him.

Hand of Beautiful Southern

NOR That Heir to Throne
Was Among Admirers.
Bridegroom, Young and
Immensely Wealthy New
Yorker, Has Been Married
Before Couple Will Re-
turn to This Country Some
Time Next Month.

New York.-Live abroad If you want
to, but you must promise never to
marry a foreigner
That was the promise the mother OF
Miss Sibyl Kaye made her give, and
Miss Kaye gave it. She has married
an American, Arthur 7. Kemp, a
young New York millionaire and soci-
ETY. favorite. But in the track Of young
Mrs Kemps honeymoon tour in Eu-
rope is a long line of broken hearts
the hearts of earls, dukes, lords and
barons.
And that was just what Mrs. Angus
tus Post, the mother-she has married
again since the death of Mr.. Kaye
was thinking of when she eXacted the
promise.
Have nothing to do with any of
these foreign noblemen," was her last
behest to her daughter as she left for
Europe six years ago. Meet them If
you want to, and study them If you
feel so disposed, but don't, don't fall in
love, l beg of you. Marry an Ameri-
can, as your mother did, and be
happy"
Miss Kaye is well-to-do in her own
right and Mr.. Post, her step-father, is
a man of means and a broker on
Change. But beautiful as she is, New
York society has never known Miss
Kaye, although the 400" knows young
Mr. Kemp well. He inherited $4,000,
900 from his father, who was a mem
Der of the big firm o. chemists, Lam
man &c Kemp.
Coming Home in June.
The young pair intend to return in
June. You may be sure that Newport
and New York are anxious indeed to
see the bride who now takes her place

first Mrs. Kemp did-she was divorced
from Mr.. Kemp four years ago and is
now Mrs. Hollis II. Hunnewell Mr..

Lansing.-That it is going to be a
commission bill satisfactory to all the
interests concerned, was shown when
the Joint railroad committees held a
hearing on the merits of the substi-
tute measure that was drafted to SUI
percede the bill presented by the Man
ufacturers' association. Hal Smith. OF
Detroit, who drafted the original bill,
took the view that the substitute is
too radical to invite general support,
and he questioned the wisdom of sew
eral of the amendments. He also
pointed out that the original bill met
the demands of the shippers and was
also satisfactory to most of the rail
roads. A. NJ Todd, of Kalamazoo,
talked in favor of the substitution, but
he also wanted number of provisions
added for the further protection of
shippers. The attorneys for the Mich
igan Central and Pere Marquette rail
roads were not present and there was
a general demand from all the counsel
that they be given further time in
which to study the provisions of the
substitute so that they may be better
prepared to discuss il. This was final
ly granted and the hearing adjourned
until next Tuesday. The provisions OF
the substitute that are particularly OBJ
jectionable TO the railroads relate TO
authority vested in the commission.
The first practically gives the commits
sion authority over the operation OF
trains and gives them authority over
steam and electric terminals to the ex-
tent that the commission could compel
the Michigan Central to permit the
Pere Marquette to use its terminals.
The substitute also leaves the question
of reciprocal demurrage, which the
railroad committee of the senate dis
missed after several hearings earlier
in the session, to the commission.
Against this the railroads use the ar
guments that they would be at the
mercy of the commission and they
would prefer some fixed regulations.
This is one of the matters that the in
terstate commerce commission is try
ing to fathom. The substitute also
leaves the commission to restrict the
issuance of stock and bonds, which is
distasteful to the railroads.

KEPT PROMISE TO
MOTHER TO MARRY
ONLY AN AMERICAN
ROMANCE OF SYBIL KANE AND A. T. KEMP

travelled extensively. And from the
first the foreigners were smitten and
more than one heart was laid at her
feet.
The Wooing Of the Count.
The most ardent of them followed
Miss Kaye and her chum, Miss Mil
dred Harrison, of Philadelphia, across
this continent and all the way to Eu-
rope, but in vain. He was Count Carl
Hohnstein, whose mother was lady-in-
waiting to the wife of the prince re-
gent of Bavaria.
Miss Kaye met him in the west,
where she was travelling with Miss
Harrison, just before leaving for Paris.
Count Holstein appeared at every city
and always at the same hotel where
Miss Kaye was stopping. The counts
mother was with him; the transeonti-
mental chase of the nobleman after
the American girls was chronicled in
the newspapers at the time.
But when it was over Miss Kaye
was heart whole and fancy-free. She
finally eluded the count and his moth.
er at Colorado Springs. She hired a
special car and before the count or
his mother was aware of it the Amer
lean girls and their chaperon were
in New York
The next steamer took them TO Eu-
rope, where Miss Kaye has been ever
since. There she travelled every
where-to the British isles, all over
the continent, even to Egypt, up the
Nile and into the Holy Land
With her beauty and her wealth she
found it easy to be presented at the
courts Of Europe. Her social sue
cess everywhere was most pro-
nounced. Even 1t was whispered that
the heir to one Of the minor thrones
had offered to give up his prospective
kingship for the American girls
hand.
But Miss Kaye remembered her
promise to her mother
None But an American.
81 can marry only an American"
she told them all, whether she liked
them or not.
Then Arthur Kemp appeared on the
scene.
He had gone to Paris three years
ago to seek relaxation from all his
domestic troubles. He told his friends
he would never tempt matrimony
again; that he intended to remain a
bachelor for the rest of his days.
All of his resolutions were changed in
the twinkling of an eye.
At reception at the American en-
bassy in Paris Arthur Kemp met
Miss Kaye. He was smitten from

Judge William W. Douglas of the SUI
preme court of Rhode Island. No Ro-
man Catholic priest, much as the Neil
sons would have had it, is allowed to
officiate at the marriage of a divorced
person.
Mr.. Hunnewell took his bride off for
a honeymoon trip to China and Japan,
while young Mr.. Kemp went in the
opposite direction-to Europe.
Among the few guests were Mrs.
Nelson, the mother of the bride, and
her other daughter, young Mrs. Van
derbilt; Jules Nelson and their uncle,
Frederick Gerhard. Among the friends
were Mrs Sallie Duncan Elliott and
Mrs. Victor Sorchan, who had been
Miss Hunnewell.
And some of them harked back to
that other wedding years before-so
different, with the great cathedral
packed and the Nelson house filled
The Yale expositor., 1907-05-17

with flowers and music and the chit
ter-chatter of many guests. Some of
the smartest men in society and the
pick of clubdom served as grooms-
men, and the prettiest girls in town
were the bridesmaids.
And they remembered young Mr.
Kemp's bachelor dinner, too II was
the smartest thing ever seen, so those
who were present declared. The room
was set to represent a barnyard and
there were all sorts of high links, be-
sides a special vintage of champagne,
in which numerous toasts to the bride
to-be were tossed off
But all that jollity is with the dead
now-both sides would forget in a
new love. Mrs. Kemp has another
husband, and even Mrs. Hunnewell No.
has married again--the Maude Jaf-
fray that was Mrs. Hunnewell is now
the wife Of j. S. Tooker. So of the
three marriages and the six persons
involved, only Miss Kaye has not been
married twice.
The Posts, parents of this latest
bride, are very wealthy, but care little
for society. Mr.. Post is an enthus-
iastic aeronaut and has made several
successful ascensions. He Is score
tary of the Aero club.
Young Mr.. Kemp's grandfather was
Maj. John s. Thacker, one of the pio-
neers in the organization of the New
York national guard. His daughter Is
Mrs. Post. Mrs. Post is very much
interested in charities and is a mem

And all this is society's newest ro-
mance-or romances, quite jumbled.
but romances still.

caught on the limb of a tree and was

The boy heard a roar and a growl
behind him and looked around to find
big black bear kicking his last. The
charge of shot had nearly blown his
head off. He wasn't out bear-hunting
that day, but he got one so big that IL
took four men to load him on a wagon

Governor Will Veto Bill.

By a vote of Sc to % the house
posed the exemption of credits bill.
Perhaps more work has been done
in the interests of this measure than
any other that has come up this ses-
sion, but the final determination is
long way off. The bill now goes
20 the senate and in the event of
its passage Gov. Warner will inter-
pose his veto. He is convinced that
the bill will give no measure of re-
lief to the borrowers of money, es-
pecially i'm that il will not reduce
the rate of interest. The governor is
strongly impressed with the stand
!aken by Gov. Davidson, who is work

It has proven failure after being

the proposition took up nearly three
hours, opposition to the repeal being
ed by Representatives Waters, New
kirk and Benton. The last named con-
tended that it would take $4S,000,00
from the tax rolls, sum equal to
the assessed valuation Of 20 counties
in the state. Representative Newkirk
declared that while the rich money
lenders in his section had urged him
to support the measure not one re-
quest had come from the farmers or
from men who are small borrowers.
He took the position that the object
sought is wrong in principle and
