 of President Taft were preparing to search for the Wellman party. The text of the Presidents telegram to the treasury department follows:
 "Is there any reasonable hope of my sending out a revenue cutter that could make the safety of Wellman any more assured? What vessel have you In Boston or along the coast?"
 The messages to the navy depart ment asked what vessels were available to go in search of Wellman. A reply was sent by the revenue cutter ser vice, stating that the revenue cutter Gresham at Boston, the revenue cutter Acushnet at Nantucket and the dere- lict destroyer Seneca at Tompkinsville N. Y, could be sent in quest of the wrecked balloonists.
 Rear Admiral Nicholson, acting Sec retary of the Navy, was preparing to reply when he was informed by the Associated Press that Wellman had been rescued. He then telegraphed to the olina and Prairie at New York, and the Birmingham at Yorktown, Va, were available to make the search, but that authentic press dispatches indi- ca ted that 1t would be unnecessary.

Briton. Congratulate welIman

London, October 1S-The British press editorially congratulate Walter Wellman on his escape and compliments him on his daring attempt to fly across the ocean. The papers consider that his ex- perience will prove invaluable to the sci- ence of aviation and will stimulate the ambition of other workers in the same field.
 All agree that the failure of the enter prise shows the necessity of extended trial trips over the land before ventur- ing on a voyage across the sea.

FINE JOB FOR YOU,

DOZEN LANGUAGES
City Clerk Connolly Wants an
Interpreter for the Mar
riage License Bureau.

i, City Clerk James F. Connolly, with
out whose consent as chief of the local
marriage license bureau, no ceremonial
marriage contract may be entered into
by residents of this city, is seeking the
service of an expert linguist to act as
Interpreter for the bureau.
If Mr. Connolly were able to devote
bis personal attention to that one of
his multitudinous duties he would need
no interpreter for the bureau, inasmuch
as he now enjoys the. reputation of be-
ing a linguist of marked ability.
The language with which all appli-
cants must be familiar, as shown in
the public notice published in another
column of the EVENING STAR of a
civil service examination to be held in
the City Hall next Wednesday after
noon at 2 o'clock, includes about every
tongue spoken by, residents of this city,
with the possible exception of German,
French, Gaelic. Spanish, Swedish and
Mongolian.
The city clerk feels that his present
office force contains more than one
clerk well versed on the first five named
and his own experience as American
consul in the far East will enable him
to handle Mangois as well as those who
speak Lattish. This is one of the un-
familiar dialects included in the pub
lished list. and. while unknown to the
qompilers of the last edition of the In
ternational Dictionary, Mr.. Connolly is
u lite familiar with 1t. Perhaps, how
u Mr.. Connolly intended the word
l51 - -tish. which. the EVENING"
STAR begs to inform him, is allie
the Finnish language.
The city clerk hopes to be assisted in
the examination by Senator John d.
Prince, of Passaic, a professor of
languages in Columbia University. and
Max Gelb. Of this city, who is attached
to the gas meter inspection depart
ment
The successful applicant will receive
a salary of $1,000 year, the same
as is now paid to the interpreter, who
has acted since the bureau opened on
July 1 last.

Court it was brought out that the
marriage was secret one. Several of

woman and said there was no doubt
that she was his wife. The suit not
only involved the question of the mar
riage, but also the right of inheritance
to the Dram estate by the 14-year-old
