Of the United States the unlawful

must be concerted action on the part

ANOTHER CHANCE TO PAY.

to Send Family $40 Weekly.

Watson Lawrence, who deserted his
wife and five children in this city on
August %, 1908, and was trailed through
the efforts of Chief Frederick Weiner,
of the county detectives, to Bedford,
Ind, where he was arrested by County
Detective Walter Godfrey on March IA
last, was given a chance by Judge Jay
Ten Eyck in Quarter Sessions Court to-
day to make good.
Lawrence was down for trial On a
charge of desertion, but as his case was
called, changed his plea Of not guilty
to one OF non vult. Judge Ten Eyck
accepted the plea and then placed Law
renee on probation for one year, under
bonds. Lawrence must pay his wife $40
a week during that time and in addition
must pay 50 each week as costs to reim-
burse the county for the expense of
bringing him back from Indiana.
Lawrence is a ~stonecutter, and was
the leader of a strike- breaking gang at
Bedford, Ind, when placed under ar
rest by Godfrey. When Godfrey started
to take his prisoner to the depot threats
of rescuing the prisoner were made, but
were not carried out.

BEGS TOBACCO; GETS NINETY DAYS.

That the police of the First Precinct
are determined to break up the band of
beggars that have infested Market
street lately was made apparent again
today when Charles O'Neill was ar
laigned before Judge Hahn for solicit
ing aims in Market street last night.
Although the prisoner was quite sure
that he was only asking for some to-
bacco, Patrolman Fahey said that the
man had approached several people,
and that he had him under surveillance
for some time. Judge Hahn said that
he was determined to discourage the
growth of the begging nuisance, and
sent O'Neill to Jail for 80 days.

MARJORIE GOULD
IS MARRIED TODAY
TO A. j. OREXEL, JR.
Bishop Scarborough 0ffciates
at Ceremony Uniting Two
Prominent Families.

NEW YORK, April 19.-In the mar
riage at St. Bartholomew Episcopal
Church today of Miss Marjorie Gwynne
Gould. daughter of George j. Gould.
and Anthony j. Drexel, jr., of Phila-
delphia, society recognized the premier
event of its season and prepared to do
it justice. Nearly everybody of wealth
and prominence in New York and many
leaders of society in other cities figured
on the list of guests.
The ceremony united the Gould fam
lily with one of Philadelphia's wealth
lest II most aristocratic families. and
the match has excited comment. as
notable because Miss Gould chose to
wee an American instead of one of
the many titled Europeans who sought
her hand. The bridegroom is a banker.
second son of Mr.. and Mrs. Anthony
j. Drexel. and only two years the
senior Of his 1~9-year-old bride.
Out-of-town guests arrived in num-
bers during the day and the last
touches were given the elaborate ar
rangements for the wedding.
Pink Keynote Color.
Pink was the keynote color of the
wedding decorations. 1t prevailed in
the decorations of the Could mansion
for the luncheon preceding the cere-
mony, planned for the entertainment
by the bride of her attendants, includ-
ing her sisters, Miss Vivien and Miss
Edith Gould, and for the reception to
follow. The church was likewise taste
fully decorated in keeping with the
prevailing color scheme, and presented
a beautiful appearance.
Miss Gould herself selected Bishop
Scarborough, of New Jersey, to per-
form the ceremony, the bishops assist
ant being DR.. Leighton Parks, rector
of st. Barthofomew's.
There was a pretty sentiment back
of the selection of Bishop Scarborough
to oficiate. When Miss Gould was par
ticipating in a family council to de-
eide on whom to have perform the
ceremony she insisted on having Bishop
Scarborough, BECAUSE he had confirmed
her and all the other children of Mr..
and Mrs. George Gould.
Detectives keep constant watch today
at the Gould home over the fortune in
presents that have been received by the
couple. and which include almost every
thing conceivable from huge chests of
silver to priceless heirloom jewels. 1t
became known today that the Gould
wedding cake, a marvel in size and
artistic construction, had been under
police guard all Sunday night and I'M
til it was delivered late yesterday at
the Gould home, S57 Fifth avenue.
The cake was baked by Mrs. Heller
c. Brown. 217 West Sixty-eighth street
and on Sunday she went to the West
Sixty-eighth street station and asked
protection for the cake and the boxes
in which it was to be packed. There
were 500 boxes costing 5000 and made
by Tiffany. They are he~art-shaped with
white satin covers Kidding a crescent
design. Silver boxes1 are to hold the
slices for the immediate family. Mrs

This is not the boys first offense. He
was arrested once before on the charge
of stealing some cakes from a baker

on the case. He found the boy early
this morning in Market street playing
with a penny peanut machine. He had

mumbled words, which no one under
stood. No one claiming to be his
parents were present.

brakes Arrangement of Department.

In his concise arraigtment of the
department and his denuneiation of
law violations, Mr.. Drake says:
"Hon. John Franklin Fort, Governor:
Dear Sir-Herewith L had you a re-
port Of the audit of the accounts of
the motor vehicle department. This
report overs a period of fifteen
months, and includes the accounts of
the department in the State House and
of thirty-six agencies in various parts
al the State and in New York city
Gnd in Philadelphia. The work has
Bequired the entire force of the de-
Naftment, and has been pursued with
all the diligence possible. Owing to
the lack of permanent records in the
department and agencies, it has re-
quired more than the usual amount
of time to perform the audit. So far
as the records show. and so far as we
have been able to verify the records.
the work has been honestly conducted.
1t has not. however, been conducted in
an efficient and businesslike anner.
without duplicating the information
contained in the report submitted here
with. made by our Mr.. Brown, I de-
sire to supplement his report in GER
tain particulars, much of which does
not come strictly within the scope Of
an audit, but would be included in an
investigation. The line separating an
examination and an audit from an in
v~estigation is not a very clearly de-
fined line. and accountants do not agree
as to where an examination and audit
ends and an investigation begins.

that the chief Inspector of motor We

the chief inspector performs any of

suggested by the title of chief clerk.
