NOT MARRIED YET
Nwe Gould and Relic De SagaD Say They We're Not Wed in
 BCb0ken
TO BE TWO CEREMONIES

Paris, May 25.-M. Cachard, at- torLey for Nine Anna Gould, wAo is engaged in preparing the contract for Mme Gould's marriage to Prince Helie de Sagan, authorizes the As sociated Press to deny the story that the couple were secretly married at Hoboken on the eve of their depart ure from America last montk.
 As already stated the Gould fam ily's opposition to the marriage has been withdrawn. The bans will be published next Sunday and the marriage will take place fortnight later, the French law requiring that the bans be published 10 days in advance of the wedding.
 There will be both civil and relig- ious ceremonies the latter under the Protestant rite. The couple will be married under what is known in France as the separation of prop erty regime" namely each party to remain in absolute control of his or her own fortune which in the event of death shall not pass to the survivor but to the heirs of the deceased. Af- ter the marriage the Prince and Princess de Sagan will reside in France. Count Boni de Castellane, the divorced husband of Mime Gould, evidently is not apprised of the exact situation as he imagines that Mime Gould is still hesitating with regard to the marriage. He counts upon, the continued opposition of George Gould, who, he says. is ex- pected in Paris within fortnight.

FIFTEEN DROWNED
Bad Flood in Texas Washes Away Railroads and Bridges
 and Causes Loss of Life.

Dallas, Tex, May 25.--The worst flood conditions in years now prevail here. Trinity river rose about thir- teen feet during last night and is still rising. A section of the Texas and Pacific railway bridge has just gone down. Fifteen men were thrown into the river { and were drowned.
 The flooded section is along stretch- es of low lands and the main resi- dence and business section of the city will in all probability escape the wa- ter's invasion. Reports of persons missing and loss of lives are being brought to the attention of the au- thorities which because of the at tendant confusion it was impossible promptly to confirm. The property loss will be heavy. Those who were driven from their homes were forced to leave all their possessions, many of them barely escaping with their lives.

POLITICS AT CONFERENCE.
Opponents of Candidates For Bishops
 Bring Up Old Charges.

Baltimore, May 25.-The Methodist Episcopal general conference now cur rent here will doubtless be long re- membered for the number and peculiar character of the attacks that have been made upon candidates for the bishop rics to be filled. Thus far four men have suffered more or less by reason of the circulation among the delegates of stories, some of them very vague and not all of them told with their proper and just explanations.
 The most pronounced sufferer has been Rev. Dr. Charles L. Goodell of Calvary church, New York. A story that falsely represented Rev. Dr. VII. liam A. Quayle as having in his youth acted the part of a jilt apparently hurt him for time, but the reaction brought by the statement of the truth has been markedly to his advantage. A similar result is probable in the case of Rev. Dr. Joseph c. Hingely, secre- tary of the conference, against whom a resident of the doctors home city, Minneapolis, attempted to influence delegates, and succeeded for a time, by means of telegrams declaring that Minneapolis was astonished at the prominence given pr. Hingely in the balloting. A fourth candidate who has been made victim is Rev. pr. George F. Eckman, pastor of St. Paurs church, New York. In the case of Dr. Goodell a divorce story more, than twenty years old was revived.
 It is not unlikely that the tenth bal lot will result in the election of two more bishops, leaving four to be cho- sen. There are some indications-and more hopes-that the selection of men for elevation to the episcopacy will thereafter go on more rapidly, though none will venture a prediction as to when this portion of the work of the conference will be completed.

London, May 25.-This situation arises from the fact that the mem- bers of the royal household have not received penny from the state since King Carlos and his son were assas- sinated nearly four months ago be- cause the new civil list cannot be approved until after the financial accounting of the reign of the late King Carlos is completed and this is held up by threatened revelations from Senhor Carvalho, who was minister of finance under ex-Premier Franco regarding moneys which went to members of the present gov ernment. The official figures of the defici. for last year show the amount to be only $300,000.
 This has convinced the public of the honesty of ex-Premier Franco s administration.

to fool the farmers. There are du-
