NO LICENSE FOR her.
Mrs. Margaret Fox Refused Permis-
sion to Wed A. A. Arnott.

Mrs. Margaret Maud Fox, who gives
her residence as Chicago dropped into
the office OF the probate judge Monday
afternoon, accompanied by her attor-
ney, w. I. Jamison, and demanded a
marriage license. This is rather an
unusual proceeding-for the woman in
the case to secure the license, but
nevertheless legal, and Mrs. Killilae.
the clerk, pulled down a blank and
took the name of the applicant. "And
the gentleman's name?" she queried.
"A. A. Arnott," answered the appli-
cant.
The clerk shrugged a shoulder, and
smiled. Il cannot issue that" she said.
why not?" demanded the applicant
wrathfully.
Because" answered Mrs. Killilae,
"Mr. Arnott is under arrest at his
home on q charge of insanity"
This was evidently expected by Mrs.
Fox and her attorney.
'They think they are smart. but they
can't beat me-" said Mrs. Fox. Il will
fight this to the limit. That is some
of Frank Morgan's work"
Frank j. Morgan is the name Of the
complaining Witness admitted the
clerk. Mrs. Fox and her attorney then
left the court.
A. A. Arnott, who is an invalid. and
expected to live but a short time. is
living at 209 East Seventh street. He
is insured for $4,000, and Mrs. Fox, the
sister of Arnott's dead wife. came here
to marry him.
Fred Morgan, Arnott's nephew, who
secured the complaint for the purpose
of heading off the intended matrimon-
ial venture. says that his uncle is a
helpless paralytic, unable to speak or
move in bed, and is also of unsound
mind because his brain is partially
paralyZed.
Mrs. Fox had made her arrange
ments to pull off the wedding as soon
as the license was secured, and had re-
tanned A. J. Bollinger. justice of the
peace. to accompany her to the house
where Arnott is living. for the purpc So
of performing the ceremony. Her fall
ure to secure the license interfered
materially with this arrangement.
Mrs. Fox is still hopeful Of success.
and will retain an attorney to defend
the man of her choice against the in
sanity charge.

There was fight for the light
weight boxing championship of the
fleet at Athletic hall. in which Lynch,
of the battleship Ohio, drew with
Kelly of the Missouri, in the eighth
round.
In the course of the afternoon thou
sands of people of Sydney visited the
battleships and were shown over
them by the officers and men. 1t
rained hard all the afternoon, but
this was not sufficient to deter the
excursionists.
This evening the city was illumi-
mated as usual. The lord mayor of
Sydney gave a reception to about q
600 persons, including Lord North
cote, governor general of Australia,
and Lady Northcote; Admiral Sir
Harry Rawson, governor of New South
Wales and his wife; Vice Admiral Sir
Richard Poore, command in chief of
the British squadron in Australian
waters and his wife and the senior
officers of the American fleet. The
commonwealth tonight entertained
about 1000 American offices and sail
orS at theater parties.
The general behavior of the Ameri-
cans on shore continues to be most
exemplary An incident occurred to-
day, however, which shows how
keenly the men resent anything that
would tend to destroy their excellent
record in this direction. A negro
sailor insulted a bar maid, whereupon
four white sailors at once interfered
and handled the colored man very
severely. The offender was taken
back to his ship.
