the man. He has toward her a kindly
sentiment of liberation. but he simply
feels the need OF a woman's love and
accepts the best at hand.
In doing SO he denies his hopes for
different life and a broader field or
work and afIlrms his allegiance to-
ward the vineyard that he has in

HAS PERSIAN BRIDE
Protege Of Miss Barney Weds Accord
Ing to Bahaism,

Paris, Nov. 16.-The first American
who ever married Persian woman
passed through Paris this week with
his bride and was entertained by Miss
Laura Barney, the well-known Ba-
haist apostle, of Washington, d. G.
The happy bridegroom is a Chicago
man named Sprague. Some years ago
he embraced the religion of Bahai and
has been a Bahaist missionary at Te-
heran. He is one Of Miss Barney's g
converts, for she has made many and
is an enthusiastic Bahaist. The Miss
Barney referred to is the second
daughter Of Mrs. Albert Slifford Bar
ney Of Washington, who lived at 20
Rue de Vienne. Paris.
Mr.. Sprague's bride Is Farang Han
guez. a daughter of the Persian poet
Mirzh Assah D'Ullak, whose portrait
Mrs. Clifford Barney has painted.
They we're married by Abdula BAHIA,
the head OF the Bahai movement. The
marriage ceremony took place at the
foot Of Mount Carmel. When Miss
Barney was in Persia studying the
religion Of Bahai she taught 1t to Mr..
Spragues bride. The happy husband
seems quite as proud of his distin-
guished father-in-law as Of his wife,
for the former is the author Of the
standard work on Persia called "The
School of the Prophets"
Mr.. Sprague is the first American
| to marry Persian woman, but there
is an American woman married to q
Persian. She is Miss Breed Of Bos-
ton. and her husband is Alikull
| Khan.

Believed the Creation of New
Peers Was the Matter
Considered
WANTS TOsuPPORT Governments
POLICY OF REFORMING THE LORDS
Postponement OF Announcement Of
Policy and Frequent Communication
With Cabinet Caused Speculation
As to Determination.

London, Nov. licking George
summoned the privy council to meet
today. presumably for the purpose of
obtaining the advice Of it's members
regarding his course in the matter of
giving Premier Asquith guarantee
to increase the number of peers suf-
ficienly to support the government in
its polio yof reforming the house of
lords. This summons brought to-
gether the leaders Of both parties.
The cabinet also held sessions today.
King George arrived in London
from Sandringham and received Pre-
mier Asquith soon after reaching the
place. The postponement of the gov
ernment's announcement of its pro-
gram and the frequent communica-
tions between the king and the cab
met have deepened the impression
that his majesty may have refused to
give the guarantee for the creation
of new peers under the present cir
cumstances. The resignation of the
cabinet appears more probable than
the dissolution of parliament. AL
ready the activity of the king is be-
ing discussed in the newspapers.

NEW DANGER.
Navy Will Study Attack From Aerial
Graft

Washington. Nov. 16-The next step
which the United States navy will
take in its study OF airships to de-
termine the extent of their proctical
value from the standpoint Of war, will
be to test the possibility of an aerial
craft landing on warship.
This was indicated by. oflicials OF

fight, that the airship would play an
important part in the naval warfare
of the future. Officers # the navy
generally believe that Its principal
usefulness to feet in time of war
will be for scout duty.
The question of landing an airship
on a vessel presents many difficult
phases. Some experts believe net

other obstacles. while others believe
It will be necessary to equip the ma
chimes with pontoons, SO that they
may descend in the water beside the
war vessel.
The department it is said, undoubt-
edly will acquire a few machines in
the not distant future. 1t was said
by an official today, however. that the
time had not yet come to outfit the
navy with airships because aeronau-
tics had not reached stage Of per-
fection.

knew him. Pfeiffer slowly made his
way across the river, walking ON the
lower cable and holding on to the
upper rope, by means of which he
steadied himself and maintained his
balance.
Reaching point above mid-stream,
the cables swung apart, and for a
moment Pfeiffer hung almost in a
horizontal position above the waters.
Then, as his footing on the lower
cable gave way, he fell into the river
and sank from sight. His body was
not recovered and it is presumed he
drowned before his corpse was swept
over the falls.

BITTER TO BoNI
Former Anna Gould Explains Appeal
to the Pope.

Paris. Nov. 16.-The Princess de
Tallyran, formerly Anna Gould. in an
interview today gave her side of the
story about an application having
been made to the vatican for the an
nulment of her marriage to Count
Boni de Castcllane. in order that she
might marry "religiously" her pres
ent husband, the Prince de Sagan.
The duchess said:
cit is Boni who is seeking an an
nulment Of the marriage. He applied
for such annulment to the vatican six
months ago on the ground that had
made a mental reservation at the
time of our marriage, as was a Pro-
testant. A few days ago he renewed
the application. basing it on alleged
technical flaws in the ceremony, his
object being to marry Miss Anne Nor
gan. daughter Of ]. Pierpont Morgan.
"All have to say on the subject is
that advise Miss Morgan to get the
details from my sister Helen concern
ing the purchase Of land in Paris
when Helen and my brother George
were my guardians. If can call any,
thing mine in France, 1t is due to my
sisters lack Of confidence in Boni.
It Is always best to take such an i'm
portant step with ones eyes open" :"
Offered $4,000 to be Freed.
The duke and duchess seemed to be
certain that the present pope would
never grant the annulment asked for
by Count Boni There was a time,"
said the duchess. when I offered
Boni $4,000 a year II he would OBJ
tain 1t. but l am glad now that he re-
fused.
"Boni neglected no opportunity to
annoy u.s. continued the duchess.

strengthen his credit, Of which Miss
Morgan was ignorant"
The duchess did not believe, she
said, that Count Boni went to see Miss
Morgan Off when she sailed for home.

take" continued the duchess. in per-
suading Miss Morgan to marry Boni
and representing him as all innocent
victim. They may get present when
the marriage takes place, but they
will soon be compelled to leave the
house. for Boni does not like his wife

ess, that | received confirmation of

Washington, Nov. 16.-The condi-

United States will be revealed about

in answer to the call issued by the
comptroller of the currency two days
ago.
The complete report will reflect the
condition Of the banks at what is re-
garded by bankers as probably the
most critical time of year. Many Of
ticials of the treasury department be-
lieve the banks will be found to have
been fortified to meet the exigencies
of the autumn months. That the de-
mands upon the banks will be large
is generally conceded. 1t is estimat-
ed that in addition to being called
upon to finance some important oper-
ations, the banks will have to make
the usual year's-end settlements.

Reports from the west and north
west are to the effect that any local
money stringencies appear to be
caused by spectators and farmers
holding crops for higher prices. In
many cases banks have been reported
carrying such situations at high
rate of interest.
The information available on De-
cember l will show what the condi-
tion Of the banks was on November
10, and in the exigencies of crop
moving season there is plenty of room
for change before the next call is
made.
1t is freely predicted that a great
portion of the millions held in the

Kansas City Used Unique Method t.
Construct Highway.

Independence, Kas.. Nov. 1s.-Prao-
tically every able-bodied man In this
county today lent hand to building
a new road between here and Coffey-
vile. eighteen miles away. About
1,500 men were engaged in the work.
The road was completed with the ex-
ception Of spreading the oil. It will
be oiled later.
1t is the plan Of the good roads or
ganization which made possible the
building Of the thoroughfare today to
continue to improve every highway
in the county in the same manner.
H. G. James was responsible for
the movement. By holding q series
Of public meetings hero he aroused
the interest Of farmers and business
men in the project. A subscription
list was started. Some gave money,
others the use of teams or automo-
biles. and some their own labor. A
holiday was declared both here and
in Coffeyville so that everybody might
have an opportunity to help build the
highway.
