CROSS THE OCEAN TO MARRY
NATIVE OF SWITZERLAND AND
STEP-AUNT WED HERE.
Law of Republic in Europe Would
Not Sanction the Match.
Start for Home.

Ernest WSdenkeller and kosette Haue-
ter. his step-aunt. both of Canton Berne.
Switzerland. were married last evening,
Rev. James d. Buhrer. pastor of the
First Dutch Reformed Church of this city.
officiating The couple had Travelled
across the sea to find city wherein the
laws sanctioned such a union. After the
ceremony Mr. and Mrs. wydenkeller pro-
ceeded to the home of Jacob Bruegger,
9th and Louisiana avenue. They will de-
part this evening for the return trip TO
Switzerland.
The groom is twenty-seven years OF
age, and the bride seven years his senior
When they decided more than year ago
to marry they found that the laws of
Switzerland forbade such a union. Ihen
they met a wealthy hotel keeper of the
province Of Berne and were told that In
the states beyond the Atlantic they could
be married. He mentioned two places
the District of Columbia and the state of
Florida.
Lose No Time.
Wydenkeller and his fiance lost no
time in making ready for the trip. They
went direct to German seaport town
and Just prior to sailing asked Tor a
license to marry. but when the authori-
ties were informed that the bride to be
was q step-aunt Of the groom the legal
sanction was refused.
The couple then embarked and after
landing in New York several days ago
came direct to this city and presented
themselves at the residence of Mr.. Brueg-
ger yesterday morning. They next went
to Rev. Mr.. Buhrer's residence at 18th
and Riggs place, and after exhibiting
a license were married.
When the minister was seen today by
a Star reporter he explained that he offi-
ciated at the wedding of the hotelkeeper
Of Berne several years ago.
Omciated Several Years Ago.
When he appeared at the parsonage,
according to the minister. he stated that
the woman he wished to marry was his
step-niece Rev. Mr.. Buhrer hesitated
and babe the couple return the next day.
In the meantime he consulted the United
States statutes governing marriages and
found that the ceremony could be legally
soemnized, and it was accordingly per-
formed He thought no more of the mat
ter until Wydenkeller and Miss Haueter
visited him yesterday and asked to be
married. After the ceremony they re-
lated to the pastor that the hotelkeeper
at their home had told them the nuptlal
knot might be tied here.

to which he made great objection. Dur
ing the discussion the novelist gazed

At last he sprang to his feet, struck
a dramatic attitude, clasped his heart
with his hands and stalked to the

WOOD: LOTS OF JAPAN.
Example Furnished Of Tree Growing
on Small Plots.

E on Small Plots.
In these times Of great drains on the
timber supplies, caused by the heavy
demand for forest products of all
kinds, Americans may see in Japan an
example of what can be done in grow
ing wood on small plots.
That country contains 100000
wood lots. about three fourths of which
belong to private persons and one
fourth to communes. The average size
of the plot is less than nine-tenths of
an acre. They usually occupy the
steepest, toughest, poorest ground. In
this way land is put to use which
would otherwise go to waste and If
unwooded would lose its soil by the
wash Of the dashing rains.
From Japan's wood lots the yearly
yield of lumber is about Lightweight
feet, board measure. an acre and three
fourths OF a cord of firewood. In many
cases the yield Is much higher. More
than 50O,0O0000 trees are planted year
ly to make up what is cut for lumber
and fuel.
With all the care in cutting and the
industry in replanting it is by no
means certain that Japan's forests are
holding their own. If the preservation
of the forests is doubtful there, it is
evident that depletion must be alarm
ingly rapid in other countries which
cut unsparingly and plant very little.
On the other hand, it Is encouraging to
see what can be done with rough. steep
and poor land. The United States has
enough of that kind to grow billions Of
feet of lumber.-Pathfinder.
