he IS MARRIAGE BUREAU
VICTIM Of HIS OWN ZEAL

MONTCLAIR. N. j.. March TO-
When George w. Da Cunah a re-
tired New York architect, who
lives in a handsome home in Val
ley road, announced last October
at public meeting that laws ought
to be passed to make compulsory
the marriage of all men and wom-
en- more than 80 years old, he had
no idea he was getting into hard
and fast partnership with Dan Gu
pid and Hymen. The idea advanc-
ed by him was taken so well that
he is receipt of hundreds of let
ters- each day, and the burden of
correspondence has been taken
over by a special secretary. Da
Cunah soon discovered the task
was entirely too great, and that he
would obtain little pleasure from
his retirement from active bust
ness if he were to continue.
Although no compulsory mar
riage laws have been passed such
as were suggested by Da Cunha,
his plan seemingly has aroused
many old bachelors and old maids
T., a realization of their social
responsibilities. From all sections
of the United States and Canada
and also from Europe, he is receiv
ing letters from men and women

asking him to find life mates for
them.
Il have plenty of time on my
hands," the architect says, so why
shouldn't | do what / can to help
these people?"
One of Da Cunha'c correspond
ents is a rich ranchman who lives
out in Idaho. Da Cunha put him
into correspondence with a young
woman at Allenhurst, N. j. Now
the two are engaged.
My intended husband has prom

the girl wrote to the senior men,
Der of the firm of Da Cunha, Gu
pid & Hymen. I'VE want you to
attend our wedding, which will
take place shortly in New York
city"
A Texas ranchman is among the
many others who look to Da Cunha
for happiness.

NEW YORK, March 10.-The
Metropolitan Life Insurance Co. has
ended novel and interesting legal
dispute by sending check to the
widow of Adolph Bertchey, alias
big Bilr' Travis, burglar, put to
death in the state prison at Tren-
ton, N. j., last August, for murder.
Bertchey's life was insured for
$4,000. His widow, now a resident
of this city, was the beneficiary
named in the policy.
The officers of the insurance COM
pany at first refused to pay the in
surance money, maintaining that in
applying for the policy Bertchey
misstated his occupation, alleging
that he was TRAVELLING salesman,
when, in fact, he was a professional
burglar.
Had they known that he was en-
gagged in the hazardous occupation
of robb.ng, they argued, they would
never have accepted him as a risk
at any price. They contended fur

DECIDES GIRLS LEG
WORTH BUT $500

NEWARK, N. j., March TO-
Judge Heisley in the Essex Co.
court decided that $500 was a
reasonable sum to be awarded to
a girl for the loss of a leg and that
this amount compensated for the
loss of her chance to marry or to
find employment The decision
was made on the motion of the
attorneys for Dorothy McDermott,
five years old, $50 Mulberry street,
Newark, to set aside the award
made by a jury on the ground
that the sum granted was made
quate. The first jury awarded
$500, but the second scaled it
down to $4,000 The girl was run
down by street car.
