corrigibles aiding the deserving poor,

started III some quarters TO build up some
sort OF permanent organization, but
this will meet with strong opposition from
many of the leading delegates.

evening, and Mayor j. y. Adam will wei
come the delegates. Ernest L. Bicknell Of
Washington. president of the conference.

CUPID FINDS THE WAY
Secretary Meyers Order No
Bar to MILDLY Koenig.
GETS TRANSFER TO ARMY
As a Coast Artilleryman Will Wed
Pretty Miss Mccoy.
ONLY WAITS FOR COMMISSION
Then He Will Go on His Honey
moon Instead of Starting on
Bachelor Naval Cruise.

There are some things that any wise
man knows cannot be done One is keep
ing squirrel on the ground. The other
is beating Cupid to it when the little god
has his mind made up and has instilled
of two of his subjects. If proof of the
latter is needed information will be fur
nished by young man named koenig.
who comes from Texas and who gradual
ed from the Naval Academy last week.
and young woman named Miss Mccoy.
whose home is in Baltimore. The foiled
villain in the drama is George Won Len
gerke Meyer. sometime Back Bay aristo-
crat. foreign ambassador of the United
States and now Secretary of the Navy,
who ought to have known better.
When Secretary Meyer took his pen in
hand and wrote the now famous order
forbidding graduates of the Naval Acad-
emy to marry until they had served two
years in the navy. he paved the way to
a wholesale desertion of the navy for the
army by matrimonially inclined midship-
men. What the ultimate results will be
cannot be foretold, but one young MILDLY
has flown the coop already and gossip
in naval circles has it that his lead will
soon be followed by several of his class
mates.
The lion-hea rted pioneer in question is
Midshipman William C. Koenig of Rush,
Tex, who has just passed a physical ex-
animation for a transfer from the navy
to the coast artillery, subsequent to an
application he filed last week. What rea-
sons he gave to his superior officers for
wishing to be transferred are not known.
They do not amount to anything, anyhow.
The Real Reason of It.
The real reason is Miss Eugenia Nc
Coy of Baltimore, who is soon to become
Mrs. William c. koenig. And she is
pretty enough, young Koenig's class
mates say, to furnish just cause for out
right desertion, let alone a simple
transfer.
koenig met Miss Mccoy at Annapolis
about a year ago. He was an ardent stu
dent, in love with the prospects of life in
the navy. but when 1t came to a show
down as to whether he would serve two
years without Miss Mccoy or quit the
navy he calmly turned his back on his
CHOSEN profession and sought refuge in
the Coast Artillery where matrimOny still
flourshes without interference on the part
of Secretaries of the Navy.
Just as soon as the commission as Sec
ond lieutenant in the Coast Artillery is
forthcoming the William C. Koenig that
was to have been a bachelor midshipman
will become benedict artilleryman. All
the wedding arrangements have been COM
Within the next two weeks Mr.. and Mrs
koanip will start on their HONEYMOON

biggest and best organized branch OF
the Black Hand In America Headquar-
ters are known to be located at Marion,
Ohio, and it is also known that the mem.
bers Of the Ohio band took an ironclad
oath to carry out orders. Each member
was invested with grips. passwords and
signs, and 1t has been learned that only

was held in Marion, when plans for the
future were mapped out.

The men arrested are Sam Lima, Sc
bastion Bataglio and Samuel Rizzo at

evidence that two weeks ago the men,
bers sent from the Marion post Office
money orders aggregating $1,000 to con-
federates in Italy. this being the division
of blackmail funds in one case.

of the ringleaders sent nineteen interna-
tional money orders for the limit Of 800
and one for nearly much, the post
office fee having been deducted. to his
home in Sicily. and that he expected to
depart for his native country July l.
THE proof we have found against the
gang convnces us that they have worked
their game successfully on many Ital-
ians principally well-to-do Eicilians.'
