TRAMP ACTOR
MARRIES AGAIN
Walter Newton Jones. Tramp Impcr-
senator, Divorced a Few Weeks
Ago. Married Miss Blanche Lillian
PiXley. Dancer.

Chicago. April S.-Previous marital
troubles evidently had no terrors for
Walter Newton Jones, known far and
wide as a tramp impersonator. Neither
do the laws Of Illionois bother the
factor 10 an aprreciable degree Tor he
was married yesterday to Miss
Blanche Lillian PiXley, only few
weeks after his previous wife divorced
him in the Illinois courts.
Miss Blanche Lillian PiXley, the
bride, is none other than Blanche Deyo
famous as a dancer and vaudeville
artist. She WAS also Recently divorced.
Jones and she are playing together in
vaudeville.
The latest knot was tied for the
actor at Crown Point, Ind, by Judge
Harry b. Nicholson. The bride is a
resident OF Chicago and knows all
about Mr.. Jones' matrimonial expert
ences 1t is understood that he still
retains his residence here. and if so he
runs counter to the recent decision of
judge Geo y Carpenter, who inter-
prets the statute barring remarriage
within Year To have force even over
weddings performed outside Of the
state
Less than Two months ago Jones was
legally separated from his wife, for
merly Mrs. Frederick King Pulsifer,
originally Miss Beatrice Champlin.
MIS-. Jones filed her suit on February
ana obtained her decree Of divorce
largely through evidence relating to a
love affair which involved a Vaude-
pear in published accounts OF The di-
vOrce proceedings.

TAFT GAINS
 THIRTY-SIx
His Nearness to Goal Ad-
 mitted by Allies.
COMMITTEE IS DEFENDED

Chicago, June 11.--Secretary Taft Is today within four votes of nomina ton by the allies own figures. Thirty six votes were added to his column by the national committees decisions of contested cases, thus bringing his to tai, according to the allies figures, up to 4S7. It requires 491 to nominate, md Taft will, his supporters say, get the additional four without trouble.
 The votes added to the Taft column were Missouri, four district delegates: North Carolina, four delegates at large and sixteen district delegates; Ohio, seven district delegates: Pennsylvania, one district delegate; South Carolina, four district delegates.
 The decisions in Missouri deprived Governor Hughes of most of his strength outside of New York, for the two districts settled were those in which Hughes men had been elected. In the Missouri case decided there were two sets of Taft delegates, but the preference was given to the in structed as against the uninstructed set.
 While the contests were being de- cided Manager Frank H. Hitchcock was in his usual place in Secretary Elmer Dovers room directing the pro-

Wednesday, June 17, Will Be Water
 bury's Big Day.
 Wednesday next will be circus day, when all the poster promises that have decorated the billboards are to materialize.
 The omnipresent clown will be there with a new makeup, but with the same delightfully."- reminiscent smirk. The wonderful trained ami mals, performing feats seemingly impossible, the daring equestrian, the hair-raising aerialist, the beauu- full horses, the hundred and one pic tured features will all make theif ap- pearance, and the long anticipated enjoyment of circus day will be a reality.
 The Barnum and Bailey Greatest Show on Earth is practically new this year. The present owners have brought all their combined resources to aid in perfecting an organization which 1t is hoped will win for itself the distinction of being tho greatest circus exhibition in the world. Chief among the many features is the sen- sational double automobile flight. Nothing in the way of circus thrillers has, it is said, in any way approached this latest hair-raising feat.

 The allies show signs of breaking down in their decision to make fight , in the committee on credentials and even on the floor. The cases of the four anti-Taft contestants from South Carolina were withdrawn before any argument could be had, and they will not he carried any further.
 PsnnsyIvania Contest Withdrawn.
 The lone contest in the state of Pennsylvania was withdrawn, and the delegate against whom 1t was direct ed, Lewis Emery, Jr., will be allowed to take his seat. The fight against Emery was on the ground of certain statements said to have been made by him, among them being the alleged as- sertlon that Bryan was certain to be the successor of President Roosevelt. This, 1t was claimed by certain Penn sylvania politicians. classed him with the Democracy. The contest against him was withdrawn by Senator Pen- rose.
 There was a sudden cessation of &C., tivity regarding the vice presidential situation. This was largely due to the announcement made by Frank H Hitchcock that the Taft forces would not take part in any campaign for the second place on the ticket. The leaders of the "allies" adopted the at- titude that il had not been customary for the party to consider the vice presidency until after the first place on the ticket had been filled and that there was no present reason to depart from this precedent What discussion was heard centered largely about Sen stor Deliver of Iowa and Secretary Cortelyou.
