Bridgeport, Conn.,, December 21-Fol- lowing a courtship which might be called "a romance without words,' the engage ment of Keith Watt Morris, son of Mrs. Julia Watt Morris Curtis. a wealthy New York society woman, to Miss Helena May Waters of Washington. D. C., has been announced.
 Miss Waters Is considered an accom- plished musician and has cultivated so- prano voice, but her musical gifts her husband never can appreciate, for he has been totally deaf from birth.
 The engagement grew from friendship which began in February. 1910, when MT. Morris and Miss Waters first met in a railway station in Washington They hap pcned to be passengers in the same train and were introduced by a mutual friend
 Thanks to his training in special schools in this country and abroad, MT. Morris is an expert lip reader and is able to vocal ize without difficulty. He could carry on a conversation as well as anybody oould-and great deal better than many rersons-with the young woman who won his heart, but when she sat at the piano and sang for him he could only watch the motion of her lips, and then he was utterly at sea, for in singing the words are not vocalized in the ordinary way. It was not until she had sung for him that Miss Waters discovered that MT. Morris was deaf, but this misfortune of his appears to have been no obstacle for Cupid

BIG CLEANUP MADE
 BY GRAND JURY

West Union, O., December 2L-There
 was another big cleanup today by the
 grand jury which is Investigating the
 charges of vote bribing In this (Adams)

 It is expected that 145 more indictments will be returned tomorrow morning. Of those araigned today 70 pleaded guilty and four not guilty. The usual fines and disfranchisement were imposed on those confessing their guilt Fully one-half of those who have been before the court seem to favor the investigation and openly declare it is
 proper.
 Because he had made a mistake in tell
 ing the court yesterday how much he re-
 ceived for selling his vote, Sam Howell, civil war veteran, S4 years old, today walked IS miles through the cold to cor
 rect his error, and to tell Judge Blair
 that he had figured up and instead of
 having received $11 as the purchase price
 he had been given s15. Howell yesterday
 was fined $5 and costs and disfranchised Frank Salisbury, who lives in Franklin township, today was arrested for con- tempt of court and arraigned for trying to intimidate a grand juror.
