Several lays ago reports were re-
ceiycd in Washington that many
former Hondurans who had left there
at the time of the war last year with
Nicaragua were returning from Gaute-
inula. and the fact that a Presidential
election was approaching in Honduras
added colpr to the report that a revo-
i|Giionarv plot was being developed.

foreign office of the activity of these
alleged c~uuspirators in Belize and also

ernment IL the fact that the United

SON HOLDS SECRET
OF LONG HIDDEN ROMANCE

written contract never to live together
or to recognize the marriage vows.
Bevan saw to it that this contract
was adhered to by sending the girl to
Vancouver, b. G. Shortly afterwards
Bartlett returned to this city. He was
benefited but little in Colorado and
preferred to live in this climate. His
parents and other members of the fam
lily never had any suspicion of what
had transpired during the young mans
stay in the West and no inkling of such
q marriage reached them until yester-
day.
Mrs. Bartlett is greatly affected by
the report from Colorado Springs, as
are other members of the family. Since
he returned home four years ago young
Mr.. Bartlett has been failing rapidly
in health and has been bed-ridden for
some time.
The marriage, 1t is said, grew irlz-
some to both young people after the
first year. Each sought a release from
the singular contract, and while neither
was in court during the proceedings,
Judge Kerr granted the separation and

proceedings.
The condition of mys son is such
that we dare not speak to him about
this matter" said Mr.. Bartlett yester-
day. II have never heard of such q
thing, and I fail to understand any
phase of 1t. My son has not been in
the West for three years or more"
The report has created a sensation in
the vicinity of the Bartlett home,
where the young man is well known.

SENATORS TO PROBE
NAVY SOCIAL PULL"
Tillman Has Been Keeping Tabs ON Sea-
Fighters with Shore Campaign
Records.

WASHINGTON, Ian. So.-The Senate
committee ON naval affairs is going to
investigate social pulls to find out, If it
can, how so many officers keep themselves
for long stretches in pleasant blllets
ashore. 1t proposes TO find out whether
a great deal of the work these officers do
on shore could not be performed just as
well, If not better, by civilians,
Senator Hale, chairman of the commit
tee, believes that there are plenty of Off
GERS in the navy to handle all the ships
afloat or being built. Senator Tillman and
some other members OF the committee
agree with Mr.. Hale.
Senator Tfllman prepared a table show
ing the number Of officers on shore duty,
TO be submitted to the committee. This
table shows 9SS officers. OF this number
there are ashore 395, or 40 per cent; in
Washington. 1O4, or 10 per cent.
The committee agreed that a general An
v%estigation into the navy should begin
mex week. Two matters TO be investl-
gated are the Social pull and the Reuter-
dahl charges, ON which Admiral Converse
and CHIEF Constructor Capps will be
heard.

HELD ON BIGAMY CHARGE.
Illegal Ceremony Was Performed in
Newark Last October.

JERSEY CITY, Jan. 3O.-William G..
Seaman, a window dresser, 2S years
old, of S48 Grove street, this city. was
arrested last night on a charge
of bigamy. AS the alleged crime
al committed in Newark, Sea-
man will probably be. sent there
for trial. The complaint was
made by Lillian Daniels, of 165 Mercer
street, to whom Seaman was married
October 81, 1907. by the Rev. DR.. Isaiah
Hopwood, of Newark, at the clergy
mans residence, "A Murray street,
Miss Daniels, who is a tail and
stately blonde, 10 years old, went 10
her home at Seaman's request and
agreed to keep the marriage a secret.
Last week she learned he had another
wife, and when she charged him with
it he is said to have admitted it.
Wife Nc. /, when she was informed
of his arrest, said she would stand by
him. He says he was under the influ-
ence of liquor when he was last mar
ried.

The Maccabeean prize amer rests once
more in its old niche in the rooms of Car
taret Tent No. 8, in Market street. For
years it was an inspiration to the knights
in getting members. But one day another
tent quietly laid designs on the banner and
quietly did 1t carry out its plans, with the
result that in January of last year the local
knights were Mortified to learn that the
banner they had come to look on as Car
taret's property, was to be taken from its
niche and carried to Jersey City and turned
over to Progressive Tent No. 10, Of that
city.
The Hudson County knights had beaten
the local knights in getting new members.
Suffering from humiliation and defeat, the
members of Carteret Tent went to work in
earnest, and when the roll Of tents was
called last month Carteret was once more
the largest tent Of the State, and better
stlll, the banner was once more to be in
their possession, and so last night there
came to Newark a delegation from Jersey
City carrying a long narrow roll. 1t was
the banner coming nome to its first love.
1t was turned over to the tent with APP
propriate ceremonies. A strange COM
panion accompanied the banner. 1t was
a broom of huge dimensions, gai1y deco
rated with ribbons. 1t signihed a clean
sweep for the local knights.
Commander George Hines. of Progressive
Tent, surrendered the banner, and it was
received by j. j. Henry Muller, jr., COM
mander of Cartaret Tent. OF course there
was an exchange Of pleasantries, but, as
the members OF the local tent said. "a
victor can afford TO be generous TO the
vanquished," and so many nice things
were said 10 the visitors, but one thing
was especially avoided, and that was any
reference to the banner going back to
Jersey City by the local members.
The visiting delegation numbered TWEEN
ty-iye. A smoker was held after the
meeting, at which many friends of the
members were present. a splendid time
was enjoyed by all, and the gathering
broke up with the cry: "To the victor be-
long the spoils." May the banner rest in
the tent of the victor in whatever city it
may go, but may Carteret retain it as long
as 1t did before.
State Commander A. w. Frye, Com
mander Muller and others made addresses.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 30.-With
anxious members Of his family by his
bedside eager to hear from his own lips
denial or confirmation of q strange tale
of a secret marriage. Chandler Clayton
Bartlett lies at the point Of death, at
his home, 1884 Wilton street. For four
years the family had been in ignorance
of the reported wedding of young Mr..
Bartlett and heard of it only when 1t
was annulled by the Colorado courts
last week.
The condition of Mr.. Bartlett is such
that his father, Henry s.. Bartlett, who
is head apothecary at Jefferson Hos
pital, dare not breach the matter. Re
action at this time may result seriously.
The younger Mr.. Bartlett is In the last
stages of tuberculosis.
Judge Robert Kerr, in the County
Court at Colorado Springs, last week,
annulled the marriage of Chandler
Clayton Bartlett to Miss Lulu Herman,
of Littleton, Col. The action is unprec-
edented in so much as there was no
application for a divorce, merely the
acquiescence of both parties to the
action of Judge Kerr. The request for
the annulment was made by II. w.
Bevan, stepfather of the young woman.
In 1908, Bartlett went to Colorado to
regain his health. He boarded with
the Bevans at Littleton and soon a
strong attachment sprang up between
pretty Miss Herman, then II years
old, and Bartlett, who was in his TWEEN
ty-first year. According to a dispatch
received last night from Colorado
Springs, Mr.. Bevan later forced the
marriage between the young pair,
though both were required to sign a

DIVORCE SUIT
CAUSED BY
CHILDREN
Their Care Too Trying
for Woman Charged
With DeSsrtiOn.

PATERSON, Jan. 30.-Judging from
the nature of the story set forth by
Ellsworth Arlington, of this city, in his
petition for absolute divorce from his
wife, which was filed at Trenton yes
terday, he and his wife might still be
living ~contentedly together but for the
presence of his two children by a
former wife.
Mrs. Arlington, it is alleged, deserted
her husband because she sought to
escape the worry which the care of the
two children forced upon her. On
March 1, 1899, after the woman had
been living with Arlington only about a
year, she left him without any previous
notice, it is claimed, and has remained
away from him ever since. AS a re-
suit he is applying for a divorce upon
the ground of desertion.
Lawyer Louis H. Grunauer, solicitor
for Mr.. Arlington, fled Arllngton's
petition yesterday, which set forth the
facts in the case.
The Arlingtons were married on
March 8, 1898, by the Rev. DR.. J. B.
Galloway.
IL was on March i, 1899, that Arling-
ton alleges he returned home from
work to find that his wife had taken
leave without saying good-by. Before
her marriage to Arlington Mrs. Airing
ton was a widow, and it was with her
furniture that the couple had gone
housekeeping. Arlington, therefore,
didn't complain when he found the
rooms stripped of their furnishings and
nothing remaining but his clothing and
a few of his own belongings.
In his petition Arlington describes
his wife's alleged attitude toward his
children, q boy and girl. She frequently
protested, he claims, against being de-
prived Of other pleasures in order to
wait on the youngsters and attend their
wants. When he would try to persuade
her to regard the children more at
fectionately. he alleges, she would be-
come resentful and oftentimes severe
in her replies.
Mr.. Arlington is in the n%eighborhood
of 80 years old, and his wife, from
whom he seeks a divorce, is slightly his
junior.
