Under the Mississippi code as
amended by the legislature in 1906,

be recovered in this case cover a per-

marketing concern which merely sells
oil and has no well in that territory.

GORE HAS A PLAN.
Wants Each Tariff Schedule in a
Separate Bill.

Washington. June 30.-In the SEN
ate today Mr.. Gore, the blind senator
from Oklahoma, made 1.-THE novel
suggestion that the finance committee
should report each schedule of the
tariff bill as a separate bill so that
senator's and representatives. might
vote against the portions of it they
may not approve, while voting for the
parts acceptable to them. The sug-
gestion was in the form of a resolu-
ton and urging it's adoption, Mr..
Gore argued that it would have the
additional merit of affording the
president an opportunity to veto any
schedule not satisfactory to him. He
declared that the president ought to
veto the pending measure when it
reaches him.
On suggestion from Mr.. Galiinger,
the consideration of the resolution
was postponed.

BY TRAIN TO EMPORIA
Parents of Girl Try in Vain to
Stop Wedding.
Young Wife Cashier in Mayor
Green's Store.

Carbondale Kan, June 30.-Elbert /.
Overton, an electrical engineer of To-
peka, and Miss Adair Florence Ander-
son, also of Topeka, eloped to this
place in an automobile Sunday after
noon. The car was left at the Merrill
mineral springs. and the couple took
a train to Emporia Monday morning
where the ceremony was performed.
Shortly after leaving Topeka the
brides mother suspected her intentions
and used the wires in an effort to pre-
vent the marriage, but her attempts
were futile. They returned to Topeka
Tuesday morning where they were met
with a hot reception by the brides
mother, who objected strenuously to the
elopement. The mother grew bitter
toward her daughter and son-in-law,
but when Mrs. Overton reminded her
mother of a former elopement in which
she herself had figured. the relations
between mother and daughter grew
more affectionats.
The bride is we'll known in Topeka,
while the groom is one of Topekas
leading electricians. Mr. Overton is
about 40 years of age. while his wife is
about a. Mr.. Overton is in Carbon
dale today to take his automobile home.

Both parties to the elopement are
well known in Topeka. Mr.. Overton
has acquired quite a reputation with
his electrical work. His office is loca-
ted at 11S East Seventh. Mrs. Overton
is employed as cashier for the William
Green & Sons grocery store, and has
a large acquaintance in Topeka. Be
fore working for the Greens, Mrs. Over
ten was employed for several years in
lxrx
Grocery company near Tenth and To-
peka avenues.
The wedding became known to
their intimate friends upon their ar
rival in Topeka Tuesday morning.
To the numerous friends of both bride
and groom, the announcement of the
wedding will occasion no little sur
prise for it is the elimination of
romance of but a few weeks duration.
Very few but the closest friends were
aware that a strong ease" was on
between the two.
When Miss Anderson failed to re-
port at the cashier desk at Green's
Monday she was naturally missed but
they were notified shortly after the
store had opened that she had been
in an automobile accident and that
she would be unable to be at work
that date. When she came to work
Tuesday morning, it was not known
by the clerks in the store that, she
was bride, but the clerks learned it
during the day. Mrs. Overton will
continue in the employ of the store
for a short time, until her successor
is named.
The groom who is better known as
BERT Overton has been married be-
fore. He is. divorced from his first
wife, by whom he has three children.
His second wife died a few years ago,
leaving him two children. This
makes his third matrimonial ven
ture.
The couple will go to housekeeping
as soon as possible. Mrs. Overton's
mother, sister and brother live at 1913
Monroe street. Her brother, Norman

shops. She is still at her post in the
