duke OF ABRUzZI
Will ASK king TO
SANCTION HIS love
Associated Press.

Rome March 21.-An explanation
of the situation regarding the reported
engagement of the Duke of Abruzzi
and Miss Katherine Elkins, daughter
of Senator Elkins, of West Virginia,
was obtained today from an unim-
peachable authority, who stated that
the duke came to Rome in February
and dined with King Victor Emanuel
He did not ask consent for an engage
ment with Miss Elkins, but obtained
leave of absence and went to Ameri-
ca. The king learned through the
newspapers of the contemplated en-
gagement and sent word that the duke
must return to Italy the first of April,
when his leave expires.
1t is learned that the duke spoke
to the king regarding the Elkfns fam
lily, but at no time did he ask the
consent of the king to his marriage
with Miss Elkins. 1t is believed here
that the duke is coming to Italy to
ask the consent of the king, as it is
understood the duke intended to ar.
range the matter with the Elkins fam
lily privately before pressing his suit
with Victor Emanuel. A definite deci
sion is therefore not likely to be giver
until after Duke Abruzzi reaches
Rome, about April /.
