During the summers of 1906 and

of elopments. Joseph Howard, the

have made several musical comedies
successful, was the principal in one
of these. Immediately after Mr.. How
ard was granted divorce from his
former wife, Ida Emerson Howard, he
rushed from the courtroom to an auto

in which was Miss Mabel Barrison of

After this elopement there success
sively followed score of weddings
and elopements in which No. 1866 fig
ured including the elopement of a
prominent North side manufacturer
to Hammond; a well known young
woman of Woodlawn avenue and also
a goodly number of weddings without
the sensation of an elopement. Among
these more quiet weddings in which
the love boat" was used is that of
Herman Landfield, better known as
Kid Herman in pugilistic circles. On
this occasion No. 1865 took Mr.. and

clergymans house, but to the chagrin
of the couple the minister was not at

was taken, and when the wedding

OF the clergyman's house it was found
they would not have time to go in.
SO the clergyman was called out to the

Then Gibbons gradually brought his

who told, the police he recently escaped
from an insane asylum near Cincinnati

Kovars, in court, told of having been
prosecuted the past ten or fifteen years
by enemies both in America and in his
native land. saying he wished to be placed
somewhere SO that he might be safe from
bounding.
Kovars was noticed last night on Penn
sylvania avenue near AZ street with his
arms full of bundles, alternately weeping
and swearing. The man made a rush for
Policeman Kelley and requested protec-
ton from enemies who. he said, were
trailing him. Kelley sent kovars to the
sixth precinct station house After con-
ference with the authorities 1t was de-
c.ded to send him to the Police Court this
morning. Judge Kimball committed the
man to the Washington Asylum, where he
will be under the observation of alienists,
who will report to the court later. In
the meantime. 1t Is stated, efforts will
be made to locate relatives of kovars.
