"DRUMMERS"
UP IN ARMS

milwaukee, Feb. 15.-A declaration
of independence from the greed Of
grasping landlords, the negligence Of
naughty hotel clerks and the cupidity
of walters and bellboys, all Of wnCm
consider the drummer" as their prey,
was promulgated at meeting OF conl-
mercial travellers held in the Plank
inton house today. A general union
was formed which will attempt to
correct some of the more glazing evils
of life on the road.
The position taken is that the COM
mercial traveller is everywhere being
subjected to extortionate charges,
poor service and little accommoda-
ton The promoters aim primarily
to remedy this alleged evil. The union
will not interfere with the affairs of
business between the employer and
employee, except in cases where some
member is i'll treated by the firm he
is working for. Nor will there be any
insurance feature in the new union.

hotel, and completing the very extern
sive outfits considered necessary for
the Misses Shonts to make their debut
in Washington the following winter
Both the young ladies are pretty, the
Younger one, however, possessing
more regular features than her sister,
and to the younger one, Miss Theod0-
ra. her fathers namesake, the titled
Frenchman at once began paying
marked attention. Not, perhaps, in the
frank and direct method of Chicago,
or even Washington, but through the
most progressive French method,
which included the assistance of his
entire family, but especially his sister,
the Duchess d'Uzes, wife of the four
teenth due of that name and one OF
the very smartest and most influential
Young matrons OF the French nobility.
Recognizing in the pretty American
Ill the possibilities of charming
wife, as we'll as a supposed great heir
ess, the enterprising young duchess at
| once took the Shonts family under her
noble wing, which assured them a
great social success in Paris.
Extravagant, even as school girls,
when they had their own automobile
at nearby garage, and never were
known to enter car Or hired cab, the
fair Americans gave the impression OF
much greater wealth than the two
million dollar fortune of the head of
the family would seem to justify.
The Due de Chaulnes has house in
Paris, and a hereditary castle in one
of the French provinces. His income
is small, of course, and in Paris it is
well known that for years he has been
seeking rich American wife.
His engagement was at one time
made public to Miss Ena Gerhard,
daughter of William Gerhard Of New
York, who is said to have aided him
pecuniarily, but who finally broke her
engagement with him.
Paris accredits the due with being
one of the gayest of the nobility and
with having already spent two inheri-
tances-amounts unnamed.
His family is unquestionably OF the
oldest nobility, not alone in France,
but in all Europe. Originally an Old
Italian family of patrician origin, his
ancestors settled in France, and he is
connected with the ancient nobility OF
Spain.
The Duchess d'Uzes, the dues Sis
ter, and the Duchess de Luyness, an
other sister, are said to have arrang-
ed the marriage.
The Due de Cleanliness first came to
Washington last March, when he was
a guest at the Shonts residence, on
New Hampshire avenue, for month.
The rumor of an engagement was nat
urally renewed by this visit, but
whenever repeated, was denied not on
ly by the Shonts family, but by the
due himself

mony marked by extreme simplicity.
Miss Theodore Shonts, youngest
daughter of Theodore p. Shonts, pres
ident OF the ELECTROMAGNETIC
tan Company and former head Of the
Panama Canal Commission, today be-
came the bride of Emmanuel. Theo-
dore Bernard Marie d'Albert de Luy-
mes daily, ninth Due de Chaulnes ct
de Picquiny, and Marquis de dan
geau. who also bears the title of
prince and few others of the Italian
and Spanish nobility to supplant
those bestowed on his family by
France
The bride was given away by her
father, the ceremony taking place at
the new Shonts home, 122 East Thir-
ty-ffth street, in the large drawing
room on the second floor.
The house is in mural decorations
and furniture is in Louis XVI style,
and this large drawing room is espec-
tally pretty, having color scheme of
gray and white.
Monsignor Michael J. Lavelle, rec
tor of st. Patrick's cathedral, who
officiated at the marriage OF Miss
Gladys Vanderbilt to Count Szechenyi,
performed the ceremony.
MANY guests from Europe witnessed
the ceremony, including the Duke and
Duchess Dues, sister and brother-in-
law of the bridegroom-elect Prince
Andre Galitzin, his cousin; Baron
Louis de Condo and Baron de Ia Bouil-
lerie There were also many guests
from Washington, including M. and
Nine Jusserand and the entire French
embassy.
The bride had one attendant, her
sister, Miss Marguerite Shonts. The
brides wedding gown and the dresses
of Mrs. Shonts and Miss Shonts were
made by Worth.
1t is reported that the duke and his
bride will go to Florida on their hon
eymoon and two months later will
go to France.
That this is a real love match all
Miss Shonts' friends are convinced.
The young couple recently signed
pre-nuptial agreement, which is nec-
essary because the prospective bride
groom is a foreigner, in which the
question Of q dowry was not mention
ed These friends also assert posi-
lively that there was no settlement of
money on the duke.
According to report Mr.. Shonts
was at one time outspoken in his de-
nunciations of weddings between
American girls and foreign noblemen,
and the young duke is said to have
been put through 4 very severe pro-
baton in which both Mr.. Shonts and
his daughter, Miss Marguerite, had a
hand. He completely won them over.
Mr. Shonts has always disclaimed
all responsibility in the shaping of his
daughters future and only sanctioned
the engagement a few months ago, al
though every one familiar with the in
ternational love affair has known for
at least a year that the young people
considered themselves engaged.
The duke and his American wife
will pass six months of the year in
Paris and six months in New York.
He intends to pay considerable atten-
ton to politics and as a Moderate Re-
publican to offer himself as a candi-
date for the Chamber of Deputies.
Thus he will disregard all the royalist
traditions of his family, all the preju-
dices Of his caste and the political
opinions Of his friends.
The courtship of Miss Shonts began
about two years ago in Paris, where
the wife and daughters of the then
chairman of the Panama Canal Com
