PREFERS A BRIDE
TO BEING 4 MILDLY
Texan Weds After Taking
Annapolis Examinations.

Annapolis, Nd. June 27.-Coming all the
weIl-wishes of his parents as well as
his own hopes for a career in the United
States Navy. Alfred L. Bruce. a candi-
date for the Naval Academy, has shat
tered all chances for such future by
taking unto himself wife.
His bride was Miss LeOna Meade.
daughter of Mrs A NJ Meade, of An
napolis. formerly of Philadelphia, and
the wedding ceremony was performed last
night at Towson, Baltimore County.
But the strangest feature Of the elope-
ment is the fact Of the bridegroom's
attitude. as the indications are that, had
he successfully passed the academy ex-
aminatiOns. he would either have incOT-
rectly stated his age or else he swore
falsely TO that when the marriage license
was procured at Towson on Saturday.
Under the regulations governing the ad-
mission of candidates to the naval insti-
tuition, the maximum age limit is fixed
by statute at twenty years, whereas
young Bruces age is given as twenty
three years in the marriage license.
The wedding was a complete surprise
10 Miss Meade's family and friends. The
first reports of it were disbelieved. The
friends Of Miss Meade would not discuss
it, and the name of the officiating clergy
man was not ascertained here. The bride
groom only completed the entrance exam
nations for the Naval Academy on Sat
Urday. During his stay OF less than two
months in Annapolis he had gained many
friends.
Shortly after his arrival here he met
Miss Meade. and an intimate acquaintance

Milton Z. Allies avows and afirms that
he hasn't a hobby, never had a hobby.
nor ever will have a hobby. That savors
too much Of ''Rooseveltism" to appeal
TO Mr. Allies. At least he considers that
MIR. Roosevelt was the means of inau-
gurating this hobby business" which
he believes has done far more harm than
good.
Questioned as 10 what his favorite
pastime is. he reluctantly admitted that
he owns a quaint little farm up In the
Blue Ridge Mountains, where he and his
family are wont to spend Saturday and
Sunday. both summer and winter On
this farm are two houses-one a log
house, with massive open ehimneys and
antebellum roasting forks" the other
more modern and typical Of the "coun-
try gentlemans" home OF an evening.
while the winds rage without and the
mercury drops toward zero, Mr.. Allies
likes TO sit within his hut" languidly
gaze az the blazing log fire and watch
the flames soar heavenward up the
Dutch chimney. while his thoughts
seek fantastic and ghostly chimes.

Capt Lyon or was merely the signer. but
admitted that the charges and specifca-
tons were handed him by Capt Rowland.
The point which the defense sought TO
make was whether Gen. Young was the
actual sponsor of the charges which ne
had signed or whether they were made
up by Capt. Rowland.
The several witnesses called to testify
regarding the rumors that the Texas
militia had intended using bali cartridges
