THE $500 BRIDEGROOM
Man Who Married Hungarian heiress
May Have A Wife In Brooklyn

Following closely the climax of q

as Miss Eugenie Adams,'' which

ington, to the altar for the sum of
5000, Judge Charles S. Bundy, of the
Municipal Court of the District yes
terday received a letter from Mrs. H.
Z. Dilks, of Brooklyn,N N. Y, express
ing the belief that Brown, the bride
groom of an hour, is her husband.
Mrs. Dilks was deserted by her hus-
band on August 10. She saw Brown s
picture in a New York paper and
was impressed with the strong resem-
blances to her missing spouse. She
clipped the picture and mailed it
with photograph of Dilks to Judge
Bundy. On the back of the photo
graph she gives a description of her
husband, which the Judge believes
fits the man he married to the Hun
garian heiress.
Judge Bundy, after learning the
identity of the woman he married to
Brown, declared the marriage to be
invalid under the terms of the con-
tract entered into, which set forth
that the couple were to separate and
not attempt to communicate. Mrs.
Dilks's letter reads as follows:
Upon seeing the picture l find it
bears startling resemblance to my
husband, II. E. Dilks, as knew him,
missing since August 10. Find photo
graph enclosed, taken when a young
man. He has deserted me before,
but always returned. l have two
children, boy of Is and a girl of 8
years. have been married sixteen
years. Very respectfully,
Mrs. H. E. DILKS.

Judge Bundy characterizes the
marriage of Brown and the Hungar-
ian heiress as scandalous proceed
ing" He says that had he known
their identity he would have refused
to marry them.
Mrs. Brown" left Washington i'm
mediately after the ceremony, an
nounoing it as her purpose to pro-
ceed to Hungary to claim an inher-
itance which would have been de-
MED her unless she returned hom e
with a marriage certificate.

A MILLIONAIRE MARINE
Carried Gold Cane And Led Bull Pup
When He EnIisted

Epper Williams Sergeant, who en-
listed last Thursday in the United
States Marine Corps, at Chicago,
where he created sensation by ap-
pearing at the recruiting station in a
taxicab with gold-headed cane in
his hand and bull pup on a chain,
began active service Saturday at the
Philadelphia navy yard.
Tales of his wealth and social po-
sition wired from Chicago spread
throughout the yard at Philadelphia.
Wherever he appeared he was the
center of attraction. Sergeant was
routed out of bed along with the other
marines in the morning, and was sent
out on police detail, which consists
of cleaning the grounds. He made
no complaint.
One of the marines asked him if
he knew the game of foot ball. "A
little, not much" said Sergeant.
II played on the varsity at Har-
ward, you know, but that was a
while ago." Sergeant refuses to
discuss his family connections.

ARRAIGNED FOR MURDER
Chick" Brown Charged With Killing
His Wife Enters Plea OF Not Guilty
And Will Be Tried By Court

Charged with numbering his wife,
James Brown, alias "Chick" Brown,
colored, was this morning arraigned
in the Circuit Court before Judges
Brashears and Forsythe, who were on
the bench.
The accused entered a plea of
not guilty and elected to be tried be-
fore the Court rather than by a jury.
AS he had no counsel, the Court, un-
der the law, appointed Mr.. Robert
Moss to defend his case. Brown shot
his wife in the hall way of the Ada
ligum Hotel on Calvert street some
months ago while supposedly under
the influence of liquor and in fit of
jealousy.
After arraignment and the entry
of his plea this morning, the negro
was remanded to Jail and date for
his trial will be set during the hear
ing ,of the criminal docket of the
term.
The rest of the morning was taken
up with number of minor civil
appeals and suit cases.

A NEW BOOK
The Young Priyateersmau"-By Prof
W. O. Stevens OF The Naval Acade-
nv

The Young Privateersman" is the
name of new book of adventure
for boys, recently published by Ap-
pletons. The authors are Prof. w.
o. Stevens, of the Naval Academy,
and Mckee Barclay, the we'll
known cartoonist of the Baltimore
Sun.
The hero of this volume is one
Miles Godsdenn, a Baltimore youth,
who, during the exciting period of
the War of 1912, becomes a pri-
vateers man in the first chapter,
and from then to the end leads a
life. of hair-breadth, scapes and
parlous adventure that will be sure
to please the most eXacting young
reader. Many of the events related
in the volume are based on historical
occurrences, or are history itself.
The engagement between the pri-
vateer Comet and the four British
vessels near Pernambuco, in which
the American runs amuck among her
astonished enemy, is historical and
vividly narrated.
The escape of the hero from Dart
moor Prison, in England. is based on
the escape of Richard Dale, the right
hand man of John Paul Jones dur
ing the pickering and scuffling be-
tween the Bon Homme Richard and
the Scraps. We are glad to note
that space is given to the great
fight put up by Capt. Samuel Ches-
ter Reid in Fayal Harbor, against
an overwhelming force of British
frigates. This remarkable exploit,
we believe, has not received its due
share of historical notice. Captain
Reid is an antecedent of Mr.. Ches-
ter Reid, for several years a resi-
dent of Annapolis.
The authors are to be congratu-
lated in insisting on the essential
work performed by privateers dur
ing the War of 1872; for it was the
privateers that made the big hole in
John Bulls pocket, and when you
touch John Bulls pocket you touch
him on the quick.
Young readers of this book will
also learn some interesting things
about seamanship, the difficult sci
ence that had to be learned without
a text. Professor Stevens has sea-
manship at his fingers tips. The
volume is refreshing variation
from the cheap stories about naval
persons, young or old, which appear
in great numbers from time to time.
There is but one thing in the mar
rative that strains our imagination,
though we are naturally credulous,
that is the enormous amount of to-
bacco consumed by Boatswain Bill
Todd. Bill must have been wonder.

TO DEMOCRATIC VOTERS
OF Anne Arundel County.
Communicated .

Now that the Congressional primary
is over and the Hon. j. Enos Ray has
been fairly nominated as the democratic
standard bearer in this district, and as
the majority shall rule is one of the
cardinal principles of the democratic
party. he is entitled to the earnest sup
port of every sincere democrat and par
ticularly those who participated in the
primary contest. 1t is dishonorable for
a man to take part in a primary meet
ing and then vote against the nominee,
simply because his favorite in the con-
test was defeated and cannot believe
there are many such in dear old Anne
Arundel. Mr.. Ray is mentally qualified
to represent us in congress and is an
honest, straightforward democrat, and
as such, believes in the traditions, his
tory and principles of the democratic
party and what more should any demo-
cratic voter demand Of his party
candidate? 1t would be most mortify-
ing should the election be so close in
the district that the vote of Anne
Arundel County should decide it and
elect the republican candidate. 1t is
the duty, therefore, of every democrat
to turn out on the day of election,
Tuesday, November the 8th, 1910, and
cast his vote for j. Enos Ray:

Chairman Democratic State Central
Committee for Anne Arundel County.

ST. Luke's $ Day

Today was observed in the ritual
churches as st. Luke's Day. St.
Luke. the evangelist, is supposed to
be "the beloved physician" men,
toned by st. Paul. In other respects
Scripture is silent about st. Luke.
Tradition, however, says that he
was one of the seventy; that he
preached the Gospel in Egypt and
Greece; that he was an artist, and
took portraits of the Virgin Mary and
of Christ.
He lived to the age of eighty four
and was then hanged on an olive
tree. The only things about St.
Luke of which we are tolerably cer-
tain is that he wrote the Gospel that
bears his name, and also the Acts
of the Apostles. The day was OBJ
served by special services in St.
Mary's and St. Anne's churches and
st. Luke's, at Eastport.
