BRIDE CLAD AS MAN
ALMOST DIES AS TRAMP
Found Coated with Ice on Bar'
gage Car Bumpers of Fast
Train in Buffalo.
SLEPT IN HUSBANDS ARMS
Couple Come Across Continent
When Man Loses Job as Steel
Worker in Los Angeles
Woman Was Teacher.
[By Telegraph to The Tribune !

Buffalo, Nov. 15.-'Beating" her way
in mems clothing across the continent
for love of the man she married four
months ago. and barred from any
friendship with her own sex, Mrs.
Christine McWilliams, twenty years old,
rode into Buffalo early to-day on the
blind baggage" of a Lake Shore eX-
press from Cleveland with her husband.
Then she was hauled from the bump
er of the first car, where she had been
sleeping In the arms of "Cass" McWill-
iams who tried to keep his girl wire
and himself out of sight when the rail-
road detectives came on them.
Coated with ice and exhausted. they
were taken from their precarious posi-
ton by the trainmen and carried TO
| flag shanty After the pair had been
thawed out, the trainmen began TO ask
questions. Then it was that the iden-
titv of the smaller of the two tramps
was revealed to the amazed railroad
ers The husband, anxious as TO the
condition of his wife, asked that they
be put in charge of the police to get
proper care.
McWilliams and his girl wife were
well cared for and then taken before
Judge Judge and charged with vagrancy.
Married four months ago in Los An
geles to Christine Jamison, pretty
school teacher, McWilliams had good
Job as a structural steel worker. Then
came the laying off of workmen, among
them McWilliams. He decided TO strike
for New York. But the small amount or
money which stood between Mr.. and
Mrs. McWilliams and starvation was out
of the question or transportation.
1t was the girl who suggested method
of travel of which she had read and she
finally persuaded the reluctant husband
TO fit her out in some of his clothes. and
together they started On the journey
across the continent. From Los An
geles they went to Kansas City; from
Kansas City to St. Louis then striking
north for Chicago, where they stayed
for several days Starting again they
reached Cleveland II was Tuesday
that they left the Ohio city and jumped
on the blind baggage" of an express
train from Cleveland to Buffalo On the
Lake Shore. g..
They endured more on the last jump
than on all the rest. The cold was bit
ing the snow, through which the train
was tearing at a sixty-mile gait, cut
their faces, and their hands were frozen
10 he iron rods. to which they clung for
life. The suffering man and woman
were soaked to the skin by water from
the tender, and their clothes froze
Judge Judge turned the girl over to
the Salvation Army and suspended SEN
tence on McWiliams, who took the ad-
vice Of the court and started out to look
for employment.

steps, screaming.
Miss Helen Fits, who lives in the
house, was just entering and as soon
as she saw Mrs. Carley she threw off
the big chinchila coat she was wearing
and wrapped it about the victim. Mrs.
Carley fell TO the floor, and Miss Fits
! tried TO keep the coat on her. but the
frenzied woman jumped to her feet in
agony. She rolled down the steps to
the street, where a frightened group of
people stood and looked on helplessly.
Finally a man flung off his coat and
wrapped it about Mrs. Farley. who

MR.. HARR0LO'S TRIUMPH
Remarkable Ovation for Ham
merstein Tenor in London.

London, Nov. 16.-The rivalry between
oscar Hammersteins Opera House and
Covent Garden took new turn last
night. when Mr. Hammerstein introduced
Orville Harold. the American tenor, as
Arnold in William Tell" Rossini's
opera has been considered hopeessly old
fashioned in London. but critics were in
cIined to change their minds when they
heard the new singer warbling like a
bird i'm the highest passages. The tenor's
acting too, was marked by sustained
power.
Oscar Saengers pupil made a rapid
and complete conquest of his audience,
and was received with outbursts of en-
thusiasm and admiration. Maurice Re-
maud and Francis Combe were William
Tell and Gessler and Victoria Fer made
an excellent impression as Mathilde.
It was, however, Orville Harrod's
night and a remarkable personal triumph
for him.

From The Tribune Bureau ]

Washington, Nov. 15.--In accordance
with the protocol arranged at the con-
clusion of the Boxer uprising by China
and the foreign powers, by which the
latter are permitted to take measures to
keep open railway communication be
tween Peking and Tien-Tsin, steps are
being considered by the United States TO
send 10 China a regiment of infantry
from the Philippine Islands.
The other powers. it is understood, will
contribute forces for the same purpose in
proportion TO the number of soldiers
available in the Orient. Orders for such
a movement Of troops have not been
actually issued by the War Department
but General Bell, commanding the
American forces in the Philippines. has
been instructed TO be in readiness for an
emergency. The selection of the regi-
ment for duty in China will ~ left TO his
discretion.
II is probable that troops just entering
upon their tour Of duty in the Philippines
will be designated for the purpose.
There are several regiments available in
the islands.
The transport Sherman is being held at
Manila in readiness TO sail for Chin
Wing-Tao at any moment that the order
may be issued.
Beyond the maintenance of marine
guard of one hundred men (only recently
and temporarily increased to two hun
Gred) the United States has never
availed itself Of the permission to keep
open railway communication and it has
fallen 10 the lot Of other nations, prin-
cipauy Great Britain. France and Japan,

line Of the road from TienTsin to Pc
king 1t is felt that it is now incumbent
upon the United States to perform its
part Of this duty; hence the decision TO
employ some troops 10 supplement the
marine guard
The fact that the force 70 be dis
patched will be limited 10 one regiment
IS in itself an indication that there is no
intention on the part of the United
States government OF indulging in any
large military demonstration in China or
OF taking sides in the present struggle
for supremacy between the imperial
forces and the revolutionary party.
AS Tien-Tsin lies forty miles up the
river from the gulf, and is thus certain
10 be cut off from water communication
by ice early in the season, the American
regiment will probably be landed at the
Port Of Chin WingTao, which is said to
be rarely icebound. This port is on the
railroad which passes through Tien-
Tsin coming from Peking, and is about
two hundred and fifty miles distant from
the Chinese capital 1t is also about one
hundred miles southeast of Je-Hol,
Which place would probably be chosen as
refuge by the Chinese imperial family

Another Place Raided.

Before going to the West 3Sth street
raid Lieutenant Becker drove his tour
ing car full OF detectives to another al
legged gambling house in West 44th
street. just off Broadway. He did not
have any trouble at this house. for as
soon as he and Inspector Hayes rang
the bell and informed the doorman who
they were they were admitted. They ar
rested Frank Wills. William Busteed and
John Haggerty, all of No. 15S West 44th
street, and William Fennell, of No. 10
West 18th street.
At the West 4Ith street station these
men were charged with being common
gamblers. There were no axes. no re-
serves. no patrol wagon Even the per-
sons dining in the Hotel Rector did not
know anything about it. And it was a
little too early for the theatre crowds.
The warrants in this raid. too. were
issued by Chief Magistrate McAdoo at
the instance Of man named Marshall,
who figured in the other warrants. He
gave his address as No. 242 West 10Th

PATRONS IN EVENING DRESS

The police raided last night what they
said was one of the finest gambling
houses in the Tenderloin. The descent
or the resort was made just as the
crowds were leaving the theatres, and
the noise Of the raiders and the clang-
ing of the patrol wagons drew such a
throng that Broadway traffic was tied
up for a time.
Lieutenant Becker and six members
of the strong arm squad smashed
down doors for half an hour in a place
in 3Sth street, just off Broadway, be-
fore they gained entrance to a beauti-
fully furnished apartment, where they
said they found many men in evening
clothes playing roulette, faro and other
games Of chance. Meanwhile, four
other detectives stood guard at what
was said to be a secret passage leading
to a restaurant, for fear some Of the
quarry would get away.
The house was said to be run by John
the alleged proprietor. Lieutenant
Becker drove up quietly with six men
in an automobile and sent five others
who We're standing about the streets to
the rear of the house. Four men ran
into the restaurant and stood guard by
what was said to be a suspicious door
The lieutenant walked up the stairs and
rang the bell A peep hole opened
Nothing doing" said the owner Of
the eye that looked out.
Use Axes and Crowbars.
Becker and his men started right in
with axes, crowbars and sledge ham
mers. Tenderlon crowds are so used to
gambling raids that they regard it as
part of the days excitement nowadays
but this one attracted attention out Of
the ordinary. large part of the crowd
was composed of mothers, sisters,
daughters and sweethearts coming from
the playhouses.

the familiar looking four story brown
stone house Becker found himself in a
vestibule His men smashed through
double doors with iron castings. and had
a hard time doing il. They found moth
