NEW YORK, April 3o.--Miss Helen
Maloney, the beautiful daughter of the
Standard Oil millionaire. Martin
Maloney, of Philadelphia and Spring
Lake, n. j.. will probably be free to
marry Sammy" Clarkson, with whom
she elopcd last fall, in a few days.
Referee Cohalons report, which will
be submitted to Supreme Court Justice
Mccall by Monday or Tuesday, de-
clares that the young woman was
never legally married to Alfred H. Os-
borne, the young broker with whom
she went to a justice of the peace at
Marnaroneck in 1905. The justice mar
ried the couple then; but the conten-
tion of the referee is that no valid mar
riage exists, because both parties gave
fictitious names, and, further, because
Miss Maloney was then only II years
old
The Maloneys, having an advance
report of the recommendations of the
referee, have decided to have Miss
Helen Maloney married to Clarkson i'm
mediately after Justice Mccall declares
that she was not married to Osborne,
which he is expected to do, and then
ship the young couple off to Europe.
1t is further expected that there will
be no trouble with the Catholic Church
over the affair. as the courts decision
that there was no marriage with Os-
borne throws an entirely new light on
the case. The referees report holds
that the only valid marriage was that
of Clarkson and the girl at Montreal,
when they eloped. therefore making
any protest from the church unneces-
sary.
Although the family now states that
ii accepts the Montreal marriage as
valid Mrs. Maloney will insist on an
other ceremony before the couple sail
Clarkson has been stopping at the
Maloney home in Philadelphia, and it
is expected that when he reaches Lon
don he will resume his former habits.
He was known as a gay young man
about the clubs. and was famed as n
youth who had gone through several
fortunes It is not believed, however
that Martin Maloney, knowing the past
of CIarllson so well, will be very liberal
with his allowances
Osborne objected to the report of the
referee. claiming that his marriage to
the young woman was legal and valid.
Unless he changes his mind, there may
be a protest from him.

young Fuerhern as the probable cul-
prit.
The boy was arrested yesterday and
placed in a cell, denying his guilt. He
was behind the bars less than two
hours, when he weakened, admitted ne
had robbed the safe, and told where he
hid the money.
In his statement the boy said he had
ripped off the screen on one of the
windows of Brenz's place and made his
way to the safe. He knew the com"

PHILADELPHIA, April 30.--Henry
Percival Fritz. son of the millionaire
merchant from whom Daisy Fair, the
New York chorus girl, wants 100000
for the alienation of his sons affections,
was member of the crew of the lost
ship Arthur Sewall. which was last
heard from when it left Honolulu a
year ago for the Atlantic coast.
This startling statement was made to-
day by William Henry Fritz, the father
of the young man, in his offices. here. He
said that after his son, then 10 years
old, had married Daisy Fair in Will
mington. in 1905, he had him sent to the
Norristown Sanitarium The young
mans attachment for the chorus girl
did not suffer by this treatment. and
the father decided to send him off on q
long cruise as O member of the crew of
vessel. lie got him a berth as cabin
boy on the ill-fated Arthur Sewall, and
the last heard of him was when the
vessel sailed from Honolulu. Since then
the Maritime Exchange has reported
the ship lost. wit1>all on board.
This was news to Daisy Fair. In her
suit she said that Fritz's father had
incarcerated the young man in the Nor
ristown Sanitarium and was keeping
him there. She did not know that the
youthful husband had been shipped
away as a sailor and had probably gone
to the bottom of the sea with his vessel.
The elder Mr.. Fritz was overcome
with emotion today when he told about
the loss of the son. He said he had
sent him away to get him as far as pos
sible from Daisy Fair, and in the hope
that an absence of a year or two would
cause him to forget his youthful love
for the girl. When asked if he would
now accept the chorus girl as his
daughter-in-law, he became excited and
exclaimed:
Never; no, sir, never! will fight her
to the end. She will never get one
penny from me. She is the cause of my
sons senseless infatuation. and it was
on her account that sent him away on
the journey which cost him his life"

! Among the officers who are known
to have been lost are Captains Name,
Yoshimori and Yashiro. The Matsu-
shima carried as instructors many of
the most famous naval commanders OF
the Japanese navy and it is feared in
official circles that they have been lost.
The captain of the Matsushima is
known to have been killed in the acci-
dent.
A report from the admiral says:
"Smau bonts from the other cruisers
have been rowing nbOut the scene of
The disaster for five hours and 1t is be-
licved that those who have not been
reported saved already have persisted.
The 141 survivors have been cared for

Divers will be sent into the sunlScn
cruiser as soon as advisable. An in

Probable Cause of Explosion.
In official circles here it is believed
that the anchor chains. in being fed
out, Jared a magazine in the bow and
set off one of the projectiles, which
might not have been properly packed
In the room. One projectile set off ali
the others and the interior of the ship
was torn out. 1t Is probable that all
cadets and officers whose quarters
were in the vicinity of the exploding
magazine were blown to pieces before
the cruiser went down.
The naval ministry has arranged to
have all the bodies recovered sent to
Toxic for public burial. 1t is destined
to be the most impressive funeral ever
held in this country. Those of the
survivors who are disabled have been
ordered to the Sasebo Hospital, ana
those who We're not injured will con-

was just about to leave for the State
Department today when a representa-
tive of the Associated Press showed
him the dispatch from Toxic telling OF
the loss of life by the explosion of the
cruiser Matsushima.
Naval officers, who at once looked
up the record of the cruiser, drew the
conclusion that her loss was not a
heavy one to the Japanese Navy. She
was of less than 5000 tons displace-
ment, and of type which has not been
followed since her construction.
Acting Secretary Of the Navy New
berry today sent the following cable
gram to the American naval attache
