HELEN NJ. MALONEY
is MARRIED TO OSBORN
Papal Marquis Daughter Weds
Former Sweetheart

PHILADELPHIA. Feb. 2.-HeIen M.
Maloney of this city and Arthur Her
bert Osborn of New York were mar
ried today by Rev. Stephen NJ. Lyons
at st. GATHERINGS Roman Catholic
church Spring Lake, N. j., where Mar
tin Maloney, father Of the bride. has a
summer home.
The marriage marks the elimination
of an international romance. 1t began
in October, 1907, when the social world
was startled by the announcement that
Helen Maloney had eloped from her
fathers home at Spring Lake N j.,
with Samuel r. Clarkson OF London.
who had been a guest at the Maloney
home.
For time after the elopement the
young couple were missing, but Ma
loney finally located them in Europe
and brought his daughter home. In the
meantime the discovery was made that
Miss Maloney had gone through a mar
riage ceremony with Arthur Herbert
Osborn of New York, who was then
student at Princeton university. The
ceremony uniting Miss Maloney and
Osborn was performed by Justice of
the Peace Boyd at Mamaroneck, n. Y,
December 2S, 1905. Miss Maloney took
the name of Helen Eugene of Pitts
burg and Osborn used the name of Her
bert Ogden of Pittsburg.
Finally action was begun in the New
York courts looking to the annulment
of Miss Maloney's marriage to Osborn
The annulment was granted on the
ground that they had never lived to-
gether. Miss Maloney was a witness
in her own behalf. Miss Maloney testi-
fed that she went through the cere-
mony as a precautionary measure to
save herself from the attentions of
titled foreigners who were regarded
favorably by Miss Ma1oney's parents.

been discussed was the seeming change
of sentiment of the present saIoonmen
toward Chsef Brfare, as compared with
that OF few years ago. At that time
Chief Briare was an aspirant for hon
ors in the police department. His de-
feat was said to have been due to his
hostility to the tenderloin and saloon
element generally.
Recently Chief Briare was placed at
the head Of the department by faction
which is generally known as the sa-
loon element-off1cials Chief Briare is
said to have engaged counsel and is
