from his residence when his identity
became known, together with his young
companion, Floretta Whaley and their
baby was located here again last night.
He is staying at the home of a friend,
where he and his companion are COM
fortably situated.
In an interview Cooke said he will
return east as soon as he can get
enough money together to travel and
as soon as matters can be arranged ne
will marry Miss Whaley. 1t is expect
ed that the grandmother of the young
lady will send her the funds necessary
to return east.
The head of a San Francisco detec-
tive agency named in connection with
the possible arrest of Cooke, stated last
night that they had not received any
Instructions from the east concerning
Cooke; that so far as they knew there
was no warrant for his arrest, and that
they were doing nothing at all in the
case. There was nothing to stop Cooke
from going where he pleased and they
were not even keeping track of him
The police are not looking for Cooke
although dispatches from New York
say there is a warrant for clipping

duction. and that the local authorities
will be asked TO find and hold the fugi-
tive.

New York. Dec. Especial dispatch

Jere Knode Cooke now lives quote the
wife of the minister, who eloped last
April with F1orette Whaley and was
found recently in San Francisco, as

This is the first reliable news I
have had of him since that day when
my life became desolate, but he has
never been absent from my prayers.
About three weeks after they went
away, I received an envelope bearing
the San Francisco postmark with no
enclosure save a newspaper clipping:
The clipping was a brief report OF
Bishop Burgess sermon preached the
Sunday after my husband disappeared.
There was something about the hand
writing that made me think 1T was my
husbands. but I could not be sure.
Now I am certain it was his, which
means. if / am right, that he and the
girl went to California at once.
Not long ago I received a letter from
the Rev. Frederick w. Clampitt, rector
of Trinity church. San Francisco. He
is an old and dear friend. He said If

told me my husband had been found

For nine years we lived a life of the
purest devotion to each other. 1 am

lieve 1t was so with him until that girl

happened to his brain. He must have
become demented.

more money than she ever possessed be-
fore in hr life as the result of being struck
by train. She was crossing the tracks OF
the New York, New Haven and Hart
ford at Main street, Port Chester, Satur-
day as a special train from New York was
due. 1t was crowded to suffocaton with
foot ball enthusiasts on their way to the
Yale-Princeton match at New Haven. The
woman seemed to be confused by the
train when she saw it coming and could
not get out of its way.
Engineer Madden, who was driving the
special vainly did all he could to stop in
time. His engine hit the woman and threw
her fifty feet on to the side of the track.
The passengers were alarmed by the
sudden pull-up and jumped from the cars.
One of them, a doctor, did what he could
for her, and others determined to assist
her financially. Several of the men ap-
pointed themselves collectors and passed
rapidly through the crowded cars. Into
their hats were dropped piles of silver and
bills so that by the time the woman could
be removed $1,000 was handed over to her
friends to help her through her trouble.

BAN ON MIXED MARRIAGES.
Roman Catholic Archbishop Issues
Pastoral Against Them.

OTTAWA. Ont. November 1S.-In a PAS
toral letter read in all the Catholic
churches in Montreal yesterday Archbish-
op Bruchesi absolutely prohibits the SOL
emnization of marriages between Roman
Catholics and Protestants by priests un-
der his jurisdiction. He makes the an
nouncement that in so far as his diocese
is concerned dispensations will no longer
be granted to Roman Catholics wishing
to marry Protestants
In strong language the archbishop
places the ban upon all such unions. Here
after should Protestants and Catholics
wish to marry they will not be able to Sc
cure the sanction of the church. Hitherto
mixed marriages have been tolerated in
Canada, but they have never met with the
unqualified approval of the church.
The pastoral is based on the recent en-
cyclical of the pope and il is to go into
effect Immediately. 1t remains to be seen,
however,, if existing engagements of Ro-
man Catho les with Protestants will have
to be broken off. The pastoral has not
been read here yet. but a copy of it has
reached the -Basilica. the headquarters of
Archbishop Duhamel.

FOR EVACUATION OF CUBA
COMPLETION OF CENSUS BRINGS
QUESTION NEARER.
Many Demands That Date Be Fixed
for Holding Municipal and
National Elections.

The completion of the Cuban census
has caused demand from many sources
mat time be fixed at once for the hold
ing of municipal and national e.ections in
the island. Officials of the War and
state Departments assert that the prob
lem Is not solved by the termination of
the census enumerations and the tabuIa-
ton of the returns to form electoral reg
istration lists. The provisional governor
is disturbed over the recommendation he
must make concerning the time of holding
the elections and it appears that he can
parties, inasmuch the leaders hold
varying views.
The taking of the census in Cuba by
American methods is recognized on every
side AS a great and needed work, but III
the present Instance there is no Disgusting
the fact that it was used as a means of
delaying the time when the United States
again must surrender the reins of gov
ernment to the CubanS. 1t was hoped
that by the time the enumeration had
been completed agreement could be
reached by the political leaders as to the
time of holding the elections and that the
United States would be spared the ne
cessty of mourning the enmity of any of
the parties. 1t had been hoped. too, that
time would have healed much of the sore
ness engendered by the revolution against
the Palma government and that all parties
would become imbued with a desire to
hold a peaceab be and fair e.ection. While
these hopes have not been entirely full
filed. it Is true that the United states
now occupies more favorable position in
the matter than it did year ago.
From reports received by Washington
officials it appears that there will be dis
satisfaction with the result of the cleo
ton, whatever it is. The only thing hoped
for is that a majority of the best classes
of Cubans will see that the United States
is endeavoring to live up to the promise
made by President Roosevelt that Ameri-
can troops shall be Withdrawn at the
earliest practical moment. and the govern
mental affairs restored to Cubans. Gov.
Magoon is not quite ready 10 say when the
elections shall be held. but it is believed
that date will be fixed arbitrarily within
year.
