ELOPES WITH
HER CHAUFFEUR
Society Belle Weds John
E, P. Geraghty,

Newport, r. l., Aug. 10-Newport Is
much stirred up over the elopement Of
Miss Julie Estelle French with q
chauffeur, John Edward Paul Ger
agility. Miss French's father Is Ames
Tuck French of Tuxedo and Newport,
and she is a niece of Mrs. Elsie French
Vanderbilt.
At first there was but little credence
put in the report, but later, when 1t
became known that the couple had
been located In a little Connecticut viii
lage and when, even later, a telegram
was received by Geraghty's mother
announcing that he and Miss French
had been married, everybody settled
down to the fact that Cupid had been
victorious in a race with the wits Of
the families Of both contracting par
ties.
Before official confirmation of the
marriage reached Newport Mr., French
for his daughter. Mrs. Vanderbilt,
aunt Of the clipping girl, was also
called into the family conference.
Miss French Is of one Of the best
known and oldest families In the New
port summer colony. She is about
nineteen years of age and very at
tracttve. She is a devotee Of out of
door life and a great lover of dogs and
horses. She was about Newport a
great deal, and 1t was a very rare oc-
caslOu that she was ever seen without
a dog, she having several as pets at
her parents home, Maple Shade, on
Red Cross avenue. Not only is her
family well known here, but also in
New York and Tuxedo, where they
usually spend the winter, owning an
estate at the park called Tuckesden.
Her father is connected with many of
the New York clubs and her mother,
who was a daughter Of Mrs. Stuyve-
SAINT Leroy, together with the other
members Of her family, are consider
ably wrought up and worried over the
action of Miss French.
Though Miss French's family has
thus far declined to make any state
mPnt upon the subject of the elope
nent, it is understood that she did
not tell her folks anything about
where she was going or what she had
in mind. 1t was learned, however,
that Miss French's family knew OF
her acquaintance with Geraghty, who
is twenty-one years of age, and thai
they had done about everything they
could think Of trying to break it off
Young Geraghty is the son of Mr..
and Mrs. John S. Geraghty, who have
been residents of Newport for many
years and who are q humble and re
spected family. Mr.. Geraghty is pro
prietor of a small livery stable here,
and his o prior to the time that he
went into the automobile business had
frequently drove q cab and other car
riages for his father.

the federated trades have been told
that they would be given no recognl-

The railroad department of the

GOV. FAVORS
.BTHE EXTENSION
Thinks Waterway Project
0. K. Except Cost.
.ecia1 to The EVENING NEWS.

SFNNNNt ~ tf'r " 1@fA- 49,
Trenton, Aug. 10:-Representa-
tives of the Waterway League of New
Jersey and other public bodies of
the North Jersey seashOre resorts
have laid before Governor Wilson
the plans for the extension of the in
land waterway from Manasquan to
the Shrewsbury river. They told the
governor that the state could not
reap the full value of the inland
waterway project unless the canal
was opened so as to give an outlet to
New York waters. They pointed out
that should the proposed extension
be built it would bring hundreds of
people and thousands of dollars
worth of business from the metrOpOl-
itan district into Jersey by this
route.
Governor Wilson told his visitors
that he favored the proposition and
the only objection to 1t was its cost.
It has been roughly estimated that
the extension will cost about two
million dollars. The governor sug-
gested that a survey of the proposed
work be made and that a more def
mite estimate of the cost be submit
ted. He thought also that a portion
of the cost of the work should be
assessed upon those municipalities
which will reap the most benefit
from the extension.
Among those who called upon the
governor were Benjamin P. Morris,
of Long Branch, vice president of
the Waterway League; Charles L.
Edwards, representing the league,
and William D. Martin, of the Board
of Trade, both of Long Branch; Har-
old E. Denegar, of the Asbury Park
Hotel Association, and George w.

Park Board of Trade, Henry w.
