P. C. KNOX JR. EXPELLED
Son of Cabinet Officer Disciplined for
Runaway Marriage.

Providence, March Swearing q
broad wedding band of gold and with
a large diamond engagement ring
sparkling on a finger of her left hand
Miss May Boiler, 81 years old, until
recently employed in a department
store of this city, coyly claimed Phil
ander c. Knox, jr., the 20 year old
son of the secretary of state, as her
husband.
I'VE were married in Burlington,
Vermont. Sunday evening at o'clock
by a minister" she confessed.
The first revelation of the romance
proved rather diSconcerting to young
Knox. News of his efforts to obtain
a marriage license preceded his re-
turn, after a three days absence. Re
fusing to tell Principal French, of
the Morris Heights school,, where he
was a pupil, whether or not he had
been married, he was at first confined
to his room and later was expelled
from the institution At noon he had
luncheon at one of the hotels here,
but later disappeared.
with James E. Gillen, youthful
friend of Knox, the young woman,
who says she is Mrs. Knox, 1r., return
ed to Providence in company with
young Knox Gillen and the young
woman went Immediately to the apart
ments of Miss Boilers mother, where
they remained until discovered about
the middle of the afternoon.
Wnen MISS bOl0I, OF MIS-. AHOA, I'M
ally admitted having been married to
young Knox, she said she did not
know the name of the clergyman who
officiated, or even that of the street
on which the parsonage was situated.
She refused to recount any of the de-
tails of her romance or of the we'd
ding trip.
Young Knox did not appear. When
the young woman made her statement
the only person visible beside her
mother was Gillen, who has been
learning the wooden manufacturing
business at OIneyville. He also re-
fused to tell of the trip.
The federal express for Washington
last night carried Principal French
and the bride and groom.
Mr.. French, who had had a long
distance telephone talk with Secretary
Knox, thought that the young man
had gone to Washington on an earlier
train and was indignant when he
heard that the woman in the case"
was aboard. He said he would have
the police at Westerly, the next STOP
put her off.
At Westerly Chief Cornelius Brans-
field wanted to know the trouble, but
was met by a smiling conductor, who
told the officer that young Knox had
boarded the train in Boston and had
assured him that the secretary of
state had expressed approval of the
marriage.
The young people were speeding to
Washington to receive the parental
blessing, he said.

series of 10 concerts to be given in
different parts of the city this summer.
1t is planned to have this band give 10

The bids for the extension of the
Melan bridge last night were turned
down by the council. The lowest bid
was $4,000 and the highest $4,000 The
city engineer estimated that the work
could be done for $31, 900 and the bids
We're rejected. It will be necessary to
advertise for bids again. 1t is not
thought that anything can be done on
the extension now for a number OF
months. The flood season this year will
undoubtedly find the same OLD narrow
channel to hold part of the river
and the city will hold the rest

an entire revision of the city salaries
will be made. The policemen and street

attractions forrthe annual fair to be
given next September
Last year the officials of the society
had for an attraction each day an au-

this kind ever seen in this county, and
it was truly a great attraction. Besides
this, public wedding. a leap the-g gap
bicycle trick and other novel features
drew the creates crowds perhaps that
ever visited the city for three success
sive days
This year it is proposed to go the
previous year even yet better and it
has been decided to secure as an at
traction an iairship, and offer it as a
leading feature. Besides this, it will
probably be decided 10 have another
public wedding. and. perhaps to make
it the more attractive. a double we'd
ding may be decided upon. This was a
popular card last year.
This county has no trouble in draw
ing prizes in other products, and the
officials are talking of adding to the
list of entries department for babies,
the same to be exhibited in competi-
ton for prizes.
