DOUBLE LIFE
Gets BRYAN
INTO COURT

Elisha B. Bryan. Ss years old. and Eu-
nice p. Piper. 2s years old, in the district
court this morning. pleaded guilty TO
statutory offense. and sentence was de-
ferred for one week and each were held
in 5000 surety.
Bryan said that he came here from
Somerville and that he has wife and
three children whom he left two years
ago. and gave up supporting four months
ago. He was married in 1896.
The woman said that her husband died
five years ago and she became acquainted
with Bryan four years ago In Boston.
The two have been living in this city to-
gether as man and wife for six weeks.
and were arrested on the complaint OF
Bryan's wife, who has come to this city.
The Piper woman said that she lived In
Boston with Bryan. and has lived with
him for two years. but did not know until
last summer that he was married. Bryan
told the court that the woman was not
to blame, as he had taken advantage of
her. and had told her that he wanted to
marry her.
Sentence was continued that this phase
OF the matter and the fact OF the death OF
the woman's husband may be inquired
into.

GERMANY NOT WORRIED
OVER MOROCCO

Berlin. Aug. alderman official circles
deprecate the idea prevailing In certain
foreign quarters that the visit OF the
French ambassador. Jules Cambon. to
Chancellor Won Buelow at Horderney to-
day was occasioned by the latest develops
ments I'm Morocco and that Won Buelows
invitation to him means that Germany 10
dIsquieted over the Casablanca incidents
and is about to change her attitude to-
ward the French course In Morocco. The
officials here say that on the contrary.
the ambassadors visit To chancellor is
due to the wish expressed by NJ. Camoon
to nee Prince Won Buelow. whose engag,s-
merits prevented an earlier invitation.
While the fighting at Casablanca has not
caused the meeting OF the two statesmen
they will talk over the Moroccan situa-
tion. Germany thus far sees no occasion
90 depart from her previous policy OF
yielding 20 France and Spain the right to
establish order In Morocco.
Official quarters continue to treat the
Moroccan situation In a calm spirit.

THURSTON'S COURSE.
THE refusal OF Mr.. Thurston to permit

rather TO strengthen him. The only per-

would use an honorable ambition on his

He owes them no duty other than TO
help destroy the hold they have gained on
the Democratic party. Heretofore he has
done his utmost, with time and money,
to defeat their machinations. and IL Is
inconceivable TO me that he is likely to be
bamboozled by them now.

solidation is carried out II will be done

nothing in the national laws that can pre-
vent IL.
The inquiry is TO embrace also. the cleo
trio and water line acquisitions made by

acquisition OF competing electric trolley

MANAGEMENT is NOT
WORRYING MUCH

New Haven. Conn, Aug 24.-In railroad
circles here the report that the govern
ment Is making an investigation OF the
alleged illegality OF the proposed merger
OF the New York. New Haven and Hart
ford Railroad company and the Boston
and Maine is not regarded as serious, ex-
cept as such Investigation might he fol-
lowed by positive steps 10 prevent the
merger. In that case the result might be
grave not only to the New Haven COM
pany but TO other great railroad interests
of the country which have absorbed COM
petitive roads. In the meantime. the pol
icy OF the New Haven corporation is sim
ply suspensive and awaiting new develop
ments and also awaiting the next meeting
OF the Massachusetts legislature when the
merger Is likely. after election to figure
less actively in Massachusetts politics.
A high railroad authority. referring TO
the general subject today, said II had a
three-fold aspect. AS regards the ele-
ment OF competition bringing the proposed
merger under the antitrust law. the fac
tor OF competition in the Boston and
Maine case is reduced to very low terms.
The Boston and Maine and the New Ha-
ven occupy essentially separate and nom
competitive territory exchanging with
each other great volume OF traffic.
The second aspect OF the situation is tho
fact that In the Northern Securities case.
a New Jersey corporation. acting as a
holding company, carried through a kind
Of railroad non-competitive trust in direct
violation OF the law OF the state OF Min
nesota. In the present case by contrast
there Is the simple and direct absorption
OF one railroad system by another with
presumptive assent OF stockholders. and

any violation OF state law
