BRIDES LITTLE SISTER
Sworn to Secrecy for Period

Tuesday the Week Expiring Miss
Ethel Patterson Says Marion
Young Couples are Married.

"Gne. but Us hard to keep a
real secret. If sister hadn't given
me Il dollar | would have told long
ago, but ! only promised to keep
quiet for a week. so here goes -,
said Ethel, the twelve year old sis
ter OF Mrs. Coral Patterson Lcf-

and were quietly married. The
marriage was unknown to the fam.
lies and immediate friends with
the exceptions of little Miss Ethel
Patterson, who kept her secret well
until today.
When the young people returned
home. they went to their respective
homes and their marriage was not
even suspicioned until the licenses
were read the following day IN the
Cincinnati: papers. Even then the
young people partially warded off
the inquisitivc public by stating
that some one had merely placed
their names in the paper for 4
joke and all emphatically denied the
reports of the marriage. 1t was
not until today when the little
girl disclosed the secret that con-
gratulations began to rain down
upon the brides and grcoms and
the happy young couples made no
further denial.
The young people, when inier-
viewed today gave no special rca-
son for their secret marriages
They declared that parental OBJ
icctions did not at all figure in
the affair as the parents knew
nothing Gr the planned marriage OF

MAYOR IS
DELIGHTED
With Thought of Having
More Policemen.
Two new BLUE COATS
To be Added to the Present
Force in Near Future.
Appropriation for Apparatus for the
Fire Departments Means New
Chemical for the West End.

Maor Scherff and Chief of Police
taken by the city council last night
in the semi-annual appropriation
budget in which arrangements were
made to pay the salaries of two ad-
dtional policemen, which will in
crease the force from eleven to thir-
teen men.
The Mayor has been working for an
increase in the police force ever since
that the city is insufficiently policed
and that the laws cannot be faithful
ly enforced umess more officers are
placed on duty. sano
For the present the mayor will be
satisfied with the two additional men
but it is expected that he will ask
for appropriations for several more
officers within the year.
One officer will be added to the
force at once and the other will be
secured rs soon as an examination
can be held By the Safety board.
The Gepa'tncn is slpportal en-
titirely by the revenue accruing from
the enforcement of the Aiken law.
An Italian, whose name appeared
on the police blotter as John Dago,
hailing from Salem. was arrested yes
terday at the Union Station by Of
ticers McDonough and Bell, and
charged with drunkenness.
At his hearing John Dago was
fined a five spot by the mayor.
Two thousand dollar< was appro-
priated alst night by the city council
for apparatus for the fire department
and fine chemical wagon will be
purchased by the board Of public
safety for the west end department.
At present the department Is using
an antiquated hose cart with which it
is difficult to make fast runs and
which, because Of the lack of chem
icals, makes :. necessary for the
chemical wagon of the Central de-
partment to make all of the runs on
which the other department is called.
The board will also have suffi-
cient amount of money to purchase
some of the apparatus of which The
departments are in need.
