son OF ENGLISH PEER
ELOPES WITH ACTRESS

London. - Almost simultaneously
with Sir Weetman Pearson's elevation
to the peerage came the announcement
of hidden romance in his family
whereby it was disclosed that his
third son. Francis, had married the
beautiful Ethel Lewis. formerly a
member OF the D'Oyly Carte Opera
company.
The marriage occurred last August
at st. Clements in the Strand where
young Pearson in his license gave sew
eSal particulars concerning himself
which were inaccurate. The secret of
his marriage was kept for months
from his father, as after the ceremony
the couple did not live together, the
bride continuing her theatrical car
eer, while the bridegroom attended
Cambridge.
When the news was at last broken
his father was furious, but he has put
the best face on the matter The pub
lie announcement of the wedding was
made and the bride sent to the Cont
nent. ostensibly TO finish her educa-
| tion, which is conditional to recogni-
ton by Sir Weetman Pearson, who
is a striking Puritan in social mat
ters and great friend Of the present
King.
Meanwhile the bridegroom has been
taken from Cambridge by his angry
parent and sent TO work in the pur-
chasing department of his fathers Of
fices. He has an humble position and
/ Is obliged to work hard and late. If
he makes good his father will possibly
forgive him and permit the couple to
/ be reunited.

Manchuria and thas is a matter which
affects other powers commercially
other comments indicate that the

Des Moines, May 3.-The Iowa
weather and crop bulletin for the week
ending May !, issued today, indicates
gratifying conditions. Since the prep
aration of the bulletin the drouth has
been generally broken in the entire
state.
The fore part of the week was un-
seasonably cold, with freezing tenn
perature and snow tlurries over the
larger part of the state, but Thursday
and Friday We're excessively hot with
high winds. The maximum tempera-
ture on those days ranged from 80 to
SO degrees, which caused an excess
of temperature for the week. The
precipitation was very light and at
many stations, especially in the
western portion of the state, it was
nil.
Reports indicate that the hot, dry
ton, following so closely after the
severe freezing weather. are affecting
the grass and small grain crops in
the western districts where the
drouth has been the most severe. But
for the state at large. those crops are
of good condition generally. Rain is,
however. needed in all districts to
soften the surface soil and to start
the growth of the plants.
The late varieties of fruit damage
from the recent freezing freezing tenn
perature and garden truck is recover
