CUPID CoNoUERs SCIENCE
American Girl Is to Become wife Of
Noted Hungarian.

Noted Hungarian.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. Is
Among the learned savants who
came from all over the world to at
tend the recent international Con-
gress on Tuberculosis was DR.. Lads
laus Detre, q famous Hungarian
scientist. Next week he will return
to Budapest, taking with him as his
bride one Of Washington's most beau
tiful young women, Miss Lillian
CobIenzer. The wedding is set
for next Tuesday, and the doc
tor and his wife will leave immedi-
ately for their Hungarian home.
That science, stern, cold, forbid
ding science, can become at times the
ally of cupid is shown by the ro-
nance of DIR. Detre. If the learned
physician had not SO ably and con-
clusIvely proven to the world the cor
rectness Of his new method of
diagnosing tuberculosis, Miss Coble-
nzer might not have said yes" and
blasted the herr Doctors romance.
DR.. Detre is member of the fa-
Guilty Of the University OF Budapest
While making a tour of Europe a
year ago Miss CobIenzer and her mo-
Their met DR.. Detre on a railway
train. The young physician become
grealy impressed with the American
girl, and was thereafter a member
of the Coblenzer party.
Before she sailed for America Dr.
Detre poposed to Miss Coblenzer, but
she would not promise to become his
bride. remembering, 1t is said an old
schoolmate in Washington. Through
out the succeeding months DR.. Detre
and Miss Coblenzer corresponded,
and it is now said that one of the
principal reasons for his attendance
at the tuberculosis congress was the
fact that It's sessions were to be held
in Washington.
DR.. Detre arrived here almost
week before his associate delegates,
and the first thing he did was to
call upon Miss Coblenzer and renew
his proposal Of marriage.
Prove your theory to the world"
the American girl said, "and then
will say yes"
The physician accepted the chal-
lenge, plunged into the work of the
convention and made a success of his
demonstration.
Miss Coblenzer has just passed her
18th birthday. She speaks German
and French fuently and is a highly
cultivated girl. having a fair skin
and coal black hair. She has spent
much time abroad. DR.. Detre is 32
years old.

oKLAHoMANS GROW ANXIOUS
Senator owen, Governor Haskell and
Others Want Indian Land
Cases Pushed.

WASHINGTON, Dec Ex-senator Owen
of Oklahoma, who is one of several de-
PENDANTS in suits brought by the govern
ment to clear up titles to Indian lands
in that state, is urging President Roose-
welt to have these cases settled at the
earliest possible moment by directing At
torney General Bonaparte to take them
directly to the United States supreme
court II possible.
Governor Haskell and many other promi-
nent in Oklahoma are defendants in these
suits for which the government has been
preparing for two years. Senator owen
says that the slow dragging of the cases
of which there are 2SOOO, is damaging to
business and development generally. 1t is
his contention and that of other defend
ants that the federal courts have no
jurisdiction, this matter belonging entirely
to the state courts. Senator Owen be-
lieves that much unnecessary delay can
be avoided by framing up the direct ques-
tion as to Jurisdiction and submitting II
to the United States supreme court.
Secretary Garfield, who has consulted
with Attorney General Bonaparte several
times as to the cases and who saw sena-
tor Owen at the White House. said that
he would be glad to have test case ar
ranged. The question of such case,
however. he said, was now before Attorney
General Bonaparte for consideration.

CHANCE FOR SIGNAL CORPS
OmciaIs of War Department Give
Burkett Bill an Unqualified
Endorsement.
(From a staff Correspondent }

a
WASHINGTON, Dec. 26-(Special Tel
egram.) )-senator Burkett today had a
long conference with General Allen, chief
signal officer of the army. with reference
TO his bill for the enlargement of the
signal corps. 1t has been recommended
favorably by the staff and line officers
OF the War department. and those who
understand IL insist that it is one of
the most advanced steps of military leg
islation for generations. Under present
methods of fighting with long-range guns
and high-power explosives IT is evident
that armies in the future will not only
fight at long range. but different por-
tions of the same army will be widely
scattered 1t is therefore necessary that
signal corps stations shall be developed
to meet the requirements of this new
method of warfare Senator Burkett says
that If his bill goes through it will make
Fort Omaha the largest signal station in
the world.

FOUR MONTHS ON THE TARIFF

WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-If leaders In

unanimity of protest against a long
siege of Washington summers, however,
and the usual course is likely to be altered
In inaugural years the senate is always
in session for ten days or fortnight in
order to confirm nominations under the
new administration, and It has been sug
gested that the house could be in session
also and utilize the time in considering the
tariff bill. as 1t will have to be disposed of
there before 1t can be taken up by the
senate. 1t is expected that the house ways
and means committee will have bill ready
to report to the special session on the day
II assemblies. and that no time will be lost
by committee hearings AS soon as the
bill has been drafted 1t can be taken up
by the senate committee On finance. and
that committee can be ready to report, Il
1t works assidiously, as soon as the bill
has been passed by the house and mes
saged to the senate. If this course is fol-
lowed. and 1t now seems probable that II
will be. it is believed the special tariff re-
vision can be concluded inside of four
months.

HANDS OF PRESIDENT TIED
He Could Not Interfere in Labor Case
if He Desired.
STATEMENT FROM WHITE HOUSE
No IntimatiOn Given as to Position of
Executive, but He Promises to
Give the Matter His
Attention.

WASHINGTON, Dec 26.-In an official
statement issued at the White House today
In regard to the presidential interference
In the cases of President Gompers, Vice
President Mitchell and Secretary Morrison
OF the American Federation of Labor, now
under sentence for contempt of court, at
tention IS called to the fact that the
cases are still before the courts and that
no matter what the presidents opinion
may be as to the justness of the sentences
imposed, he cannot take any action look
ing to pardon or express any opinion as
to the merits of the case.
The text OF the statement follows:
Various appeals have been made to the
president to interfere by pardons in the
case of Mr.. Gompers and his associates
Those making the appeals are unaware of
the fact that the matter is still before
the courts. 1t is civil suit between private
parties and there has been no way by
which the government could have inter-
4. .sned II It had desired to do so. Whether
the president does or does not think the
sentence Of Mr.. Gompers and his associates
excessive is not at present of conse-
quence because he cannot take any action
or express any opinions while the case is
pending before the courts.
Case Not Yet Concluded.
when the decision is made then the
president can promptly consider whether
the terms of Imprisonment are excessive or
improper. But. 1t is, OF course, impossible
for the president to act while an appeal
is pending, for he has nothing whatever
to act about The courts must finish with
the case first and the defendants are at
the present moment at liberty on bail
If the defendants see fit to abandon their
appeal the matter will then, of course,
be brought before the executive, in which
case 1t will receive immediate and most
careful consideration.
"But the defendants have perfect right
to prosecute their appeal, and II unsuc-
cessful in the final court then ask for a
pardon or Communication. But as long a.
they are prosecuting an appeal the presi-
dent has nothing to do with the matter.
THE president has already instructed the
Department Of Justice to keep him fully in
formed as to the progress of the case 50
that in the event of its becoming p oper
for him to act he may have at his disposal
all OF the facts which will enable him TO
decide whether there was justificat on for
the sentence and whether If there was Jus Il
fieaton for such punishment the sentence
is -or is not altogether too severe.
But at present the president has
more to do with the case than with the
case of the $2s. 600 fine imposed by Judge
lands on the Standard Oil company which
is also on appeal and concerning which the
president has also been repeatedly asked to
interfere by well-meaning persons who did
not know that he could not interfere while
the matter was still before the courts on
appeal"
