Robes and Sandals.

Bar Harbor, Sept. 1.-Miss Evelyna
Palmer, daughter Of Mrs. Robert Abbee,
of New York, was married here today
to Angelo Sikelianas, a Greek, who won
recognition in this country for his
poems and philosophical writings.

of the social prominence of the brides
family and her unconventional ideas as
to dress. .
Possessed Of an independent fortune
Miss Palmer travelled much. On her
last voyage she returned from Europe

the most observed person in the

LEOPOLD TRANSFERS
CROWNS INTEREST IN
CONGO FREE STATE

Brussels, Sept. 1O-King Leopold made
another momentous move in the Congo
question by turning over the domain
of the crown in the Congo independ-
ent state to a joint stock company in
which he Is alleged to be interested.
This is the most important section of
the Congo. 1t is ten times larger than
Belgium and was to have reverted to
Belgium with annexation. Its transfer
deprives Belgium Of the most profitable
part of the independent state.
The decree announcing the transfer,
which appeared In the official bulletin
yesterday caused a sensation, 1t being
generally accepted as endangering the
success of the commission appointed re-

HEAD OF FIRM STEALS:
RECEIVER NAMED

Chicago, Sept. 10.-The appointment
of a receiver for the Bedding and Hall
Manufacturing company has followed
the discovery by creditors that Jesse
Edison Hall. the president, had appro-
priated to his own use $315,800.
1t appears the entire amount went
into mining stocks and theatrical adj
ventures n like investments.
1t appears Mr.. Hall had been Dor
rowing" the company's money for the
last two years. There had been little
effort on his part to conceal the fact
and the money taken from the bust
ness was secured by promissory notes
signed by him. He has no other
stock aside from SAC, 900 in the COM
pany, which Is worthless until all out
standing bills are paid.
A pathetic feature Is the condition
OF the missing mans two children,
who are living in the Hall home
in Winneteka in charge Of the house
keeper.
Since Hall left Chicago they have
received no word from him, nor have
they received any money with which to
meet household expenses.

Betrothsd to Slayer.
This young woman. who was highly
educated, was betrothed to Sozoneff,

At her trial her old, white haired

MOOR TRIBESMEF
BURN THEIR VICTIMS

Tangier, Sept. 1.-THE tangle OF con-
aicting reports from the iterior reflects
very fairly the hopeless chaos into
which the country has drifted. The
truth seems to be that the interior is
in such a wild state of anarchy that
genuine news does not reach the coast
towns freely or quickly.
Some idea OF the atrocities committed
by the tribesmen while they were loot
ing Casa Blanca can be gathered from
the following cases:
Eight young children OF a Jewish
family were deliberately murdered, one
after the other. In the presence of their
mother. Another Jewish woman, who
has reached Tangier and is being
looked after by English missionaries,
saw her two sons killed by tribesmen,
who then carried on her three young

outraged and carried away by tina

ITALY TO RESTRICT AUTOS.

Rome, Sept. 1O.-The government Is
considering some measures Of regulat-

this action resulting from the national
horror over the tragic fate OF Baron

while racing was dashed against a tree
and crushed to death.
1t is likely that automobile races In
future will be held on courses where

The result is the department Of JUS

In some quarters there is a disposition
to blame District Attorney Ruick ano
TO charge him with being in sympathy
with the Western Federation OF Miners

Ruick is likely to be removed IL 1t ID

Indictment. Borah maintains that while
he was counsel for the Barber Lumber

Illegal entry of timber lands by the

morrow.
Attorney Hawley, of the prosecution,
who is defending Senator Borah, said
the government claimed it would re-
auire four weeks to try the Borah case,
but the defense was of the opinion II
