Widows Now on Pension Rolls to Get
$12 Per Month From Uncle Sam
Without Asking.

Washington, March 25-The bill to
increase widows pensions to $12 a
month has been sent to conference
Both houses have named their con.
|ferees and the matter will be taken
Iup for consideration the latter part of
this week.
The house bill did not recognize
widows who married soldiers since
1890. The Senate amended to recog-
nize all widows married to soldiers
down to the time of the passage OF
this act. This is about the only pro-
vision that must be adjusted in CON
ference. The house conferees will no
doubt yield.
The bill is automatic, so far as wi.
dows now on the rolls are concerned
They will not be required to make
new applications when the act is
passed. The pension commissioner
upon his own motion will extend the
names of all the widows now drawing
pensions to the $12 roll. OF course
widows not on the rolls now will have
to apply for pensions under the new
Ilaw.

Peking, March 25.-Japan has asked
China to take such steps as may be
necessary to prevent boycott on
japanese goods in China and to put
an end to the anti-Japanese agitation
growing out Of the Tatsu Maru Incl
dent. This agitation was manifested
last week at Canton, where there were

attempt to use the Tatsu Maru case
against the Peling government, as
well as against Japan.
1t is believed that a dozen or more
of the men recently taken into custody
on the charge of agitatng for reform

MISS EI.kINS
ALREADY WE'D
Report Emanating From Rome Of Sec.
ret Ceremony is Given credence in
Official Circles.

New York, March 25.--A report en-
anating from Rome that Miss Rather
inc Elkins and the Duke of the Abruz-
zi already had been married secretly
is given credence in certain high soc.
ial and official circles in New York and
Washington.
A cable from Rome reports that the
duke, when he had won the hand Of
Senator Elkins daughter, insisted on
private and secret ceremony SO that
no objections from anyone, no matter
how high, could intervene. The Italian
embassy at Washington was mention
ed as the place of the alleged secret
wedding.
Those who credited the report
pointed to the fact that after Miss
Elkins had been to the Italian en-
bassy last Thursday evening the duke
accompanied her and her parents to
their home, where he was the guest
at an informal dinner. Only the very
closest friends were invited to this
|dinner.
Former United States Senator
Henry Gassaway Davis, who was the
Democratic nominee for vice president
in 1904 and who is the grandfather OF
Miss Elkins, has come out in the
young woman's behalf. During a fam
lily counsel on the proposed marriage
Senator Davis is reported to have said
to Senator ElklnS:
Stephen, ain't much for dukes, but
|if Katherine loves him and wants him
the old man is with her, and If 1t is
money that Is wanted she can count
on me for every dollar in the pile. MY
girl wouldn't let me marry the woman

Katherine feel. You can count me in
