of last year. not even Saying goodby to
his wife, to whom he had been married
less than two years. Investigation
showed that the affairs of the American
saddIery company, of which he was sec
retary, were in muddled condition. No
charge of crookedness was made, how
ever. Bundrems troubles being at
tributed to careIessness in book keep

social favorite, was a horseman, MEM
ber of the Los Angeles polo club and
of other social and sporting organiza-

make an eastern trip.
Mrs. Janss said last evening that
there was no romance connected with

we did not want a big wedding or any
fuss There is n0 romance connected
with our wedding. We simply decided
to get married. Yes, 1 have known DR..
Janss for 10 years. How did 1 come to
marry him now? Why persistence
sometimes wins out; perhaps that was
the reason. We shall remain here a
few days and then go north and east.
There is really nothing to this wedding
of public interest"
