MISSOURI GIRL IS
MARRIED TO
EX-C0Nv|CT
Miss Ethel Faskens Was StenO-
grapher to Secretary Of State
DISCHARGED BY EMPLOYER
Young Woman Says There Are as
Many Good Men In the Penitenti-
airy as Outside Of It

Carthage. Mo, June 13.--The love
that caused Miss Ethel Faskens, stem
ographer to Secretary of State Roach
at Jefferson City to carry on secret
with Harry Van War
inga while he was a convict in the
Missouri penitentiary, eliminated
last night in their marriage here at
the home OF her father, q. w. Flask
ems, Street Commissioner.
Since his release three weeks ago,
Van Waringa has been much at the
Faskens home. He met the girl at
the prison chapel, where he led the
orchestra. A jealous sutton for her
hand disclosed the romance and Miss
Faskens was discharged by Secretary
Roach. In her pique she announced
she would wed Van Waringa.
Van Waringa is native of Amster-
dam, Holland, and was sentenced
from St. Joseph to two years for sell
ing a mortgaged cornet. He pleaded
he was ignorant OF the law. Miss
Faskcns corresponded with him
through the Prison Chaplain, who had
married her father and mother when
they eloped. When her romance be
came known she applied for a
months vacation. Secretary Roach,
however, requested her OF resign
Immediately.
The fact that Mr.. Van Waringa
has been convicted of crime will not
swerye in the least my regard for
him." she declared. There are as
many good men inside the peniten-
tiary as out Of it, We expect to re-
main in Carthage at my fathers
home for several months. Then we
shall seek new location where our
story is not known, and my husband
viii continue his profession as music
teacher"

Washington, June 12-Emphatic-
ally denying any knowledge of the
alleged theft of the papers in the
case of Frank Bloom, which bore the
adverse Endorsement of Col Joseph
Garrard, Commandant Of the Fort
Meyer military post, on the ground
that Bloom was the son Of Jewish
tailor and which caused President
Taft publicly to reprimand Col, Gar
rards Simon Wolf, the lawyer at
whose instance the case was taken
up by the President, said yesterday
that he had received the papers from
Mrs. Joseph A. Bloom, mother of the
young man. Mr.. Bloom declared
that the papers had come from the
War Department through an officer
higher in rank than Col Garrard.
The members of the Bloom family re-
fuse to disclose the identity of this
officer
If the papers were stolen from the
files at Fort Meyer, as charged by
Col. Garrard il was not done at the
instance of any one connected with
young Bloom and no one interested
in his case had any knowledge that
there had been q theft until the
charge was made by Col. Garrard,
according to the statements made by
Mr.. Wolf and Mr. Bloom. Col. Gar
rard has not attempted to say who
stole the papers from his files. Feel
ing that the COMMANDMENTS accus-
alton indirectly affected his family,
Mrs. Bloom, who is the post tailor at
Fort Myer, said the papers were OBJ
tanned through perfectly honest and
straightforward channels.

TO WIDEN PUBLICITY BILL
Senate Committee Wants to Know II
Money Is Used In Primaries.


Money Is Used In Primaries.
Washington, June 13.-With a view
OF insuring the widest publicity of all
the expenditures of candidates for
Congress the Senate Committee on
Privileges and Elections next week
will complete amendments TO the
House bill on this subject, which will
vastly broaden the proposed law.
Much difficulty is being experience
ed in finding terms which will ex-
press the committees purpose. II is
proposed to make the law applicable
to primary as we'll as regular cleo
lions. The various kinds of primar-
les now being used make it difficult
to deal with all in the same terms.
An individual accounting by both can
didates for the Senate and House will
be required.
An effort will be made to amend
the law applying to corrupt prac-
tees so as to further insure the puri-
" of the ballot.

r T vas Italian Initiative that gave this city the verazzano memorial
and this State Columbus Day as a public holiday. Yet the Floren-
i tine Verazzano made his voyage hither under a French commits
sion. The Genoese Columbus planted here the arms of Spain. 1tal-
ian navigators of the fifteenth century made their Western discoveries
under alien flags. The interests OF their own governments were
bound up in trade routes that ran East instead Of West.
In the discovery OF America only the individual achievement
WAC an Italians. The national achievement was SPANS. The power
which had newly won unity in the joint sway of Ferdinand and
Isabella, and awakened to consciousness of its strength in the expul-
sion Of the Moors, quickly harvested the seed sown by Columbus and
won for its empire the greater par. Of the new world. 1t is one of
the condolences Of history and akin to the reoccupaton by Italy Of
The old Roman town Of Tnpol, that in South America the race whose
chef adventurer bazed the way for Spain is treading in its foot
,teps, and that Argentina has become a great depot for Italian immi-
grafton.
1t matters little that the lust for gold and viceregal power was
strong in Columbus. 1t was equally 40 in all the navigatos OF that
period, and substantially the same motives that put America upon
!. he map at a later day peopled with pirates the Spanish main. 1t
matters little now that Columbus wal sent home in chains, and that
nc died in obscurity, a disappointed man. That, r a worse fate,

WHY NOT CHEW, INSTEAD?

TO eTVHE two big fires Of the year were probably tobacco fires. Ac-
" cording to former Fire Chief Croker, a cigarette caused the
inv Ach Building fire and the loss Of $50 lives. 1t is believed
:, = That u cigar tossed in a wastepaper basket set the Albany Capitol
a1rc. The origins Of many fires are never certainly known, but the
s"H. heoGy most often held attributes them to cigars and cigarettes flung
81 ss1inst window curtains and awnings, or matches used in lighting

IL carrying Of matches into factories forbidden by law.

OF Thsy have also, and this is n mere coincidence, the largest annual
% IRE loss, some $216, 900 900. In the thirty-Ave years ending in 1910
. The total recorded loss was 81, 9O6, 619 24o, or five times the national
or debk Add to the annual fire loss Of $216,O 600, 900 the annual fire
o defense cost Of about $780, 900, 900, and you have a sum equal to half
"of the annual value of new buildings erected.
ssvu These figures arr arrayed in no vain argument against the to-
lacco habit, which many smokers hold is worth all it costs to other
