D'ABRUZZI READY TO
MARRY MISS ELKINS
DUKES FATE RESTS WITH
AMERICAN GIRL
Close Friend Of Italian Nobleman and
Senator's Daughter Says She
Would Be Given Rank
Duo Her

PARIS, Sept. 13-A high parsonage
in touch with previous preliminary ar
rangements regarding the marriage of
the duke of the Abruzzi and Miss
Katherine Elkins said today that, con-
trary to the popular impression, the
real hitch was not due to objections
on the part of the Italian royal family,
but to the attitude of Miss Elkins her.
self.
"If Miss Elkins would accept the
duke" said this authority, "no obstacle
would be placed in the way of the mar
riage by his family.
"I know the king and the royal fam
lily have offered to grant their consent,
not to a morganatic union, but to a
marriage which would include the priv
ileges and rank for Miss Elkins to
which the duke is entitled.
1.-THE queen mother perhaps was not
pleased with the prospect of the duke
contracting a union with an American,
but her objections would have been
withdrawn.
1.-The dukes fate rests with Miss
Elkins herself. If she would say the
word the duke would be at her side to-
morrow and the marriage would not
long be delayed"

Which Has Long Been
in Controversy

CHICAGO, Sept. 13.-Illinois became

statute of 1918.
The United States ship Nashville

The Chiperfield legislative committee,
which is trying to reclaim for the state
all made land, planted the spreading
eagle and the state sovereignty and
national union declaration at every
spot where filled in land looked good.
Today, officially, the Illinois flag and
the coat of arms of the state flies
above every acre of made land, regard
less of any other of the claimants of
the filled in lands.
The ownership of made land along
the shore of Lake Michigan has been
in controversy for many years. Many
manufacturing concerns and few
railroads have extended their plant
sites by filling in part of Lake Michi-
gan.
1t has been held that all made land
belongs to the state, but much difficulty
has been experienced in recovering such
land.

SAYS PEARY AND COOK
BOTH LIKELY IN ERROR
Expert Navigator Declares Many Diff
ficuIties In Way of Observations
In Arctic Regions

PARIS, Sept. 13--Raymond Lesion
nat, a member of the superior council
of navigation, said today he thought
the difficulties of ascertaining position
in high polar latitudes made 1t likely
that both Commander Peary and Dir.
Cook were in error.
The delicacy of the recording instru-
ments and the fact that the excessive
cold makes it necessary to handle them
with muffled fingers. together with the
refraction of the rays of the sun, make
accurate use of the sextant almost
impossible.
Continuing, NJ. Lestonnat said ne
thought a dash to the pole had little
scientific value.
The real secrets were to be found
at the magnetic pole, where a study of
conditions might furnish important in
dications regarding the physical prop
critics of the globe.
