A pretty romance involving James A.
Terrence, an employe of the c. NJ.
Staub Shoe company, and Miss Vir-
ginia Fox of 1926 Bunker Hill avenue.
became known last night when the
couple admitted their engagement.
Friends of the young people assert
that the romance eliminated coinci-

heiress to a considerable fortune. This
was denied last evening by Miss Fox.
1T is true that I am engaged to Mr..
Torrence," she said, but it is untrue
that I am an heiress to any large
estate. / only wish I were, but / am
afraid some of my friends must have
made my engagement a little too ro-
mantle
The date of the wedding has not been
set, although it will be in the near

COURT RENDERS
UNIQUE DECISION

ST. Paul, Mimi, July 10.-(Special)-
By a decision rendered by Judge Will
lard of the United States circuit court,
sitting in st. Paul, the question OF the
legal relationship between monk and
the monastic order to which he belongs
is settled Although he may accumulate
a gigantic fortune and have royalties
coming to him on published books, he
cannot make a will legally bequeathing
any of his property to his mother, fath-
err. relatives or friends. His entire es-
tate, whatever 1t may be. must revert
to the monastic order to which he be-
longed
This decision was rendered in the
case of August Wirth, who died In
Springfield Mimi, in December, 1901.
He was a member of the Order OF ST
Benedict of New Jersey. Among his as
sets were the royalties on a large num-
Der of religious books. Such royalties
as were then due and as may accrue
from these works were claimed by
several of his relatives as his legal
heirs The Order of St Benedict
brought suit against Albert Stein
hauser, administrator of the estate, as
sorting that 1t had an equity in all the
moneys at Issue, alleging that Wirth' s
membership in the order made 1t in
cumbent upon him to turn over all his
property and earnings to the order. The
rules of the Benedictife order provide
that its members surrender all individ-
ual ownership and possession of prop
erty into the common fund.- the ex-
penses of their personal living being
paid by the order, which also under
takes their education and preparation
for life

San Antonio, Tex, July D.-(Special. y
That the marriages he Is promoting
against his will are made in heaven is
the sincere wish of Postmaster Stevens
of this city OF late letters from ycang
women anxious to find cowboy husba nds
have been coming into his office at the
rate of two and three day. Some of
them are pathetically sincere and these
usually find their way into the press, adj
vertising expenses being thus avoided.
Recently one young woman admitted that
she was % and that she had no great IL
lusions as to cowboys, her principal OBJ
ject being to get in the country. OF
course, she would grow to like the proper
party
The latest aspirants for cowboy hus-
bands are Miss Julia Schilly and Miss
Lorraine Mccormick, both of st. Louis.
The former just wants Postmaster Stew
ems to put her ''in communication with
some reliable cowboys" she being quite
capable of making her own selection
afterwards. Miss Mccormick, however,
goes into considerable detail and wants
Cupid Stevens to manage the affair She
is Just crazy about ranch life, is not
afraid of anything. has had lots of pro-
posals since she was 10, can ride any
kind of horse for hours and will never
marry anybody but a cowboy because
she Is lively and jolly as cowboys are.
She is Is years of age, has brown curly
hair, dark blue eyes and fair complexion
lis. according to this description, real
Irish beauty. The young lady confesses
great penchant for horses, ten-mile
rides and the shooting up of everything
she sees.
Miss McCormicks letter incidentally has
put the postmaster and an enterprising
newspaper man on the outs The letter
contained a request not to let the fresh
newspaper men of San Antonio get hold
of 1t and Postmaster Stevens intended to
grant this simple wish of so fair CORE
spondent all the more SO since he is
Irish himself. But fate in the form of
the regular dopeman interviewed The
latter has for years gone through the
desk of the postmaster when he is alb
sent and in this manner tho young lady's
epistle has become public.

WOMAN IS RESPONSIBLE
Mr.. Date Says Women Are Sensational

Japan The Japanese editor arrived IN
New York after a slow tour around the
world, when he studied the newspapers
in every big city. G. Date is collecting
data for a history of journalism, but ne
does not deny that he is using his IN
formation for more practical purposes.
The paper of Toxic of which Editor
Date is the head is morning Journal
but the editor is contemplating issuing
an evening edition also. This had some
thing to do with the editors trip for, as
soon as it was decided to give the
Kokun.in Shinbun an evening edition, the
editor started out to see how evening
papers were really made.
He came across Siberia to st. Peters
burg where the bomb-proof cellars and
the artillery of the editors alarmed him.
Continuing to Berlin he was again dis
oouraged by the alarming quantities OF
beer which the GeTIndn cuieoiS ~
sumed. Mr. Date thought that an editor
must necessarily drink large quantities
of beer, judging from his experience IN
Berlin. In Paris he failed to Keep several
because the editors were
fighting duels. This added new note
of disbursement In London the heavy,
solid looking papers caused the Jap TO
believe that no one read them.

DICKINSON DIED
FROM |NHAL|NG GAS
Spirit Was Crushed By Action
of Directors
THOUGHT HE WAS VICTIM
Attended Meeting of Directors of Car
negie Trust Company Six Deys
Before Denth-Refusnl to
Make Him Director

New York. July 10-(SpeciaD-It be-
came known today that on May 49, just
six days before his death, Charles c.
Dickinson, former president of the
Carnegie Trust company, attended a
meeting of the directors of the cam
pany and In spite of the fact that he
was very i'll at the time was severely
taken to task by some of his fellow
directors for what they regarded as
grave errors in administration of the
banks affairs.
Although the directors as body did
not censure Mr.. Dickinson, various in
dividuals on the board were not sparing
in their criticisms and when Mr.. Dick
inson left the meeting with his brother
1t was with the understanding that his
resignation as a director and member
of the executive committee would go
into effect on June l. 1t was said that
Mr.. Dickinson, although quite willing
to relinquish the presidency of the In
stitution he had built up, was very
anxious, for sentimental reasons, to
remain on the directorate and that he
was completely crushed by the refusal
this.
There seems to be little doubt that
Mr.. Dickinson left the bank in bad
physical and mental condition. He was
very much depressed and believed him
self the victim of great injustice.
That night he was taken to st. Lukc's
hospital and six days later he died.
The reason for Mr.. Dickinsons death
has been officially fixed by a coroner's
jury as gas poisoning. The story of
how Mr.. Dickinson, in company with his
brother and several friends, went to
Scranton about ten days before his
death to witness the experiments of
chemist who claimed to be cble to ex-
tract silver from base metals has al
ready been told. During the demon
stration there was an explosion and
Mr.. Dickinson, who was closest to the
vessel in which certain chemicals were
cooking, Is alleged to have inhaled a
great volume of poisonous gas.

APPEAL TO FOREIGNERS
Qniuian Is Grayxinc Tint the Matter
APPEAL TO FOREIGNERS
Opinion Is Growing That the Matter
Has Assumed Importance and
Japan Is Believed to Have
Been Appealed To

Washington, July 10.-(Special.) 1.-The
state department gives great Importance
to a communication received today that
Madriz has been in communication with
a foreign power for the transfer to it of
an island of Nicaragua in return for the
foreign nations assistance to Nicaragua
against the United States
Officials do not believe that the power
referred to is Germany, as generally be-
lieved. Germany recognizes the Monroe
Doctrine and has repeatedly stated that it
had no intention of acquiring lands either
from Venezuela or Colombia. Castro, it
is recalled, made an offer to Germany of
a similar nature, but it was rejected by
Germany England is opposing Madriz.
Madriz knows these facts and would not
have made his proffer to Germany or Eng
land. The opinion Is growing now that
the matter has assumed Importance by Of
fetal consideration that the power ap-
pealed to by Madriz is Japan. japan is
not much interested in the Monroe doc
trine. and it is manifest that it would be
to her supreme advantage should she get
base on the west coast of the American
continent. Under the strained relations
existing between Japan and the United
States, the acceptance by Japan of the
Madriz offer would be an immediate cause
of war.
The department also gives out the in
formation that it is suspected that some
American concessionaries under Zelaya
are still helping the Madriz government.
The clearance of the tug Chamberlain
from Mobile is declared to have been ir-
