CAUCUS DEFEATS PLANS
FORCING PARTY PLEDGES
Democratic Senators in Colorado
Agree on Legislative Program

DENVER, Aug. 16.-An initiative
measure, which, it is asserted, is ultra
conservative and will make but little
change in existing conditions, was
agreed on at a caucus of the Demo-
cratic senators early today. They met
to agree on legislation to be enacted
at the present session of the legisla-
ture. The measure will call for a pc
tition to be signed by Is per cent or
the voters for governor at the last cleo
ton in two-thirds of the counties.
The caucus resulted in a complete
defeat of those who advocated the en-
actment of all of the party's pre-elec-
ton pledges, for which the extra ses-
sion was called by Governor Shafroth,
and a victory for the Senator Hughes
Mayor Speer crowd will be advocated
as a redemption of pledges on the most
conservative basis.
1t is thought that there will be the
same lineup of Democratic senators
with respect to each of the other six
measures to be considered, and that
they will not be as vigorous as the
governor desired.

DASHING DRIVER WINS
RICH MANS DAUGHTER
Young Bride and Groom Return
to Their Homes After
EIopement

NEW YORK, Aug. ia romance in
which the principals are a 17-year-old
boy and 17-year-old girl, and which
had for it's setting the old volunteer
fire house in Flushing, where the boy
was the heroic engine driver, was
made public when 1t was found that
Miss Lucille Mangold, daughter of
Andrew Mangold. piano dealer, had
been secretly married to Michael Nor
iarty, son of Michael Morlarty, an en-
ploye in the highways department in
Queens.
The parents of the bride were angry
when they learned of their daughters
marriage. The girl returned to her
home and at first denied that she had
with proofs tearfully admitted she had
changed her name and begged for her
mothers forgiveness.
DRIVERS DASH WINS ADMIRER,
The couple obtained license last
Wednesday in Long Island City and
were married on Thursday night in ST.
Michaers Catholic church in Flushing.
William ]. Moriarty, a brother of the
bridegroom, and his wife were wit
nesses.
After leaving the church the party
separated and the young wife returned
to her parents home. Young Moriarty
went back to his fathers house in
Flushing.
The couple met two years ago, when
the Mangold family lived in the neigh
borhood of the engine house of the vol
unteer firemen in Burling avenue,
Flushing. His dashing way of hurry
ing his horses to fires won the heart
of Mangold's daughter.
When Mangold went to live in Cy-
press avenue, Brooklyn, the volunteer
fireman continued his attentions and
was a frequent caller. Mrs, Mangold
said that she had always liked the
young man, but thought that the
friendship between him and her daugh
ter was a boy and girl affair. Both
were too young and the bridegroom,
she thought, was not earning enough
to provide for a wife.
BRIDES FATHER WEALTHY
The husband lives with his father.
Mr.. Mangold is wealthy and his home
is luxurious one. He had not been
informed of the wedding at a late hour
last night, as he had been detained in
Manhattan on business.
Mrs. Moriarty has curling, golden
hair and blue eyes. She is slight of
figure and scarcely looks her age. The
bridegroom is boyish looking.
The bride said that she had been
engaged for more than a year. She
said that they had not intended to an
nounce the marriage until the husband
had obtained employment and fur
nished a flat.

POLICE ARE UNABLE To
LOCATE BROKER MINER
Missing Mans Wife Frustrated
by the Charges Made
Against Him

Efforts to intercept C. B. Miner,
prominent clubman and broker. be-
lieved to be hurrying to Mexico failed
yesterday. If Miner, who is alleged
to have left a number of his friends
and close business associates in the
lurch to the extent of at least $40, 900,
started toward Mexico, 1t is probable
he avoided San Diego. The police of
that city searched for him and watched
all trains.
Mrs. Miner, wife of the missing
broker, did not accompany her husband
in his fight, as was intimated in a
nant that such a report should have
been circulated. She is at the home of
her parents, Mr.. and Mrs. c. w.
Rogers, Twenty eighth and Hope
streets. Her husbands disappearance
has caused her SO much distress that
she Is on the verge of a nervous break
down and her father would not permit
her to discuss Miners fight yesterday
I'VE don't know where he Is and
we have come to the conclusion that
he will not be seen very soon," said
Mr. Rogers. Naturally, his disap-
pearance is a sad blow to my daughter.
She cannot speak of 1t without burst
ing into tears, and have decided that
1 will not permit her to submit to an
interview She knew absolutely moth
ing of his financial difficulties and no
one could have been moro surprised
when the charges against him were
made public"
While it is stated that Miner got
more than $4,000 on worthless paper,
the only charge on record against him
at police headquarters is that made by
J. H. Blagge, also a broker. Blagge
charges Miner passed a worthless
check on him for $4100. It is on this
charge that Miner Is being sought. The
police of the principal cities of Cali
fornia and those of towns and cities
along the Mexican line have been asked
to watch for him.
