REPORT MILITARY
RETIREMENT BILL
TO THE SENATE
Committee Members, However,
Make No Recommendations
On the Measure.
iFrorn a Stan Correspondent

TRENTON, April 12.-The Senate
military committee yesterday reported
the military retirement bill. The House
recently passed IL. The chairman of
the committee reporting the bill is Sem
ator Edge of Atlantic City, who is a
staff officer of the National Guard and
who, 1t is understood. is opposed to the
measure.
Edg Would Amend Bill.
Edge requested thai the bill lie over
so that he could offer an amendment
to it. The bill went over.
1t was said when the House bill was
referred to the Senate military COM
mittee that 1t would never see the light
again; that Senator Edge would not
report the bill. The action of the COM
mittee was, therefore, something of a
surprise.
The other members of the commit
tee are Senator Osborne. of Essex. and
Senator Brown. of Monmouth. 1t Is
understood that the Essex Senator ia
vored the bill as it came from the
House and, therefore, 1t is assumed
that Senator Brown stood with his Es-
sex colleague on the bill. The fact that
the bill was reported without recon-
mendation and without amendment
shows that the chairman prevailed TO
the extent Of withholding committee
Endorsement of the bill. The amend
ment he will offer to the bill will not be
the committee amendment but his own.

ERROR PUTS CUPID
OUT Of BUSINESS
IN TOWNSEND SUIT
Failure to File Divorce Makes
One Marriage Void;
Bars Another.

PATERSON, April 12.-Paterson So
ciety was stirred when it learned that
the failure to record at Trenton the
final decree of the divorce of DR.. S.
Cyrus Townsend from the woman to
whom he was married eighteen years
ago has thrown the physician and the
wife to whom he has since been mar
ried into a peculiar and unpleasant
p~redicament. The former Mrs. Town
send. who was a society leader here for
many years, has been forced through
the strange tangie to postpone her
wedding I a wealthy retired New
York merchant, Which was to have
taken place on Saturday.
DR.. Townsend was granted a divorce
by Vice Chancellor Eugene Stevenson
on March 4. 1908 Counsel. however,
had neglected to present a draft of de-
cree to the Vice-Chancellor for his sig
nature. n consequently h divorce,
although granted by the findings of the
court, had never been issued. In the
belief, however. that he had been legal.
ly divorced De Townsend married
again This was two years ago.
Complications did not develop until
q few weeks ago, when the former
Mrs. Townsend received IN offer of
marriage and accepted. the wedding
date being fixed for Saturday. In order
to comply with the requirements under
which marriage licenses are issued
Mrs. Townsend wrote to Trenton for a
copy of the decree of divorce and was
informed that no such decree had been
recorded. This necessitated a post
ponement of the wedding unless some
way could be found out of the diff
Guilty. The Vice-Chancellor was asked
to date back the divorce three years,
but when he reviewed the case he
refused. He stated that all he could
do was to sign a decree now. n at
the expiration of six months from the
present date 1t would become operative.
AS a result the court has ordered a
suspension of domestic relations in the
physicians home for the next six
months. and the proposed wedding has
been r~ostnoned indefritelv.
At the time OF the suit, v e three
years agt, sensational testimony was
offered by DR.. Townsend through let
ters obtained by him telling of his first
wife's trips to Saratoga. Coney Is and
and nearby summer resorts with Harry
T~unnicliffe. a former well-known SPORT
ing mar of this city.

umphantly, "he believed that there is

mare was nozzling her shoulder and
paving slightly. Let us be off,"
She put her small booted foot on his
palm and vaulted into the saddle, and
he swung on to his mount. He stuffed
his cap into a pocket, for he was nc
fair-weather horseman, but loved the
Jingle of the wind rushing through his
hair, and the two cantered down the
clear sandy road.
"En %avant!" she cried. joyously, with
a light stroke of her whip.
For half a mile they ran and drew
in at the fork in the road. Exhilara-
ton was in the eyes of both of them.
There's nothing equal to 1t. You

of the whip toward the sea, "off there

being. Breitmann, In his capacity of
secretary, was not so often In her COM
pany as Fitzgerald; nevertheless she
was subtly attracted toward him.
When he was of the mind he could
invent q happy compliment with a fe-
licity no less facile than Fitzgerald.
And the puzzllng thing of 1t all was,
both men she knew from their histories
had never been ornaments at garden
parties where compliments are current

mired Breitmann, a differentiation
which she had no inclination to re-
solve into first principles. That Brett
mann was a secretary for hire drew
no barrier In her mind. She nae known
many gentlemen of fine families who
had served in like situations. There
were no social distinctions. On the
other hand, she never felt wholly COM
Portable with Breitmann. There was
not the least mistrust in this feeling.
1t was rather because she instinctively
felt tina he was above his occupation.
To sum 1t up briefly, Breitmann was
difficult to understand and Fitzgerald

"Then l shall say nothing"

about YOU being a secret agent
from France"
This time M. Farraud's glance proved
that he was truly startled. Only three
times in his career mad his second life
been questioned or suspected. He eyed
his hands accuslngly; they had be-
trayed him. This young man was
clever, cleverer than he had thought.
He had been too confident and had
committed a blunder. Should he trust
him? With that swift unerring instinct
which makes the perfect student of
character, he said: You will do me a
great favor not to impart this suspicion
to any one else"
"Suspicion?"
1T is true; l am a secret agent" and
he said it proudly.

Mon Dieu! No. I am here for the

Can you tell me anything?"
Not now. l trust you; will you trust

Fitzgerald hesltated for a space.
"Yes."
For that, thanks" and M. Ferraud
put out a hand. 1T is clean, Mr.. Fitz-
gerald, for all that the skin is broken"
"Of that I have no doubt"
Before we reach Corsica you will
know"
And so temporarily hat ended the
matter. But as Fitzgerald went over
to the chair just vacated by the sec
rotary, he found that there was a
double zest to life now. This would be
far more exciting than lodging ice
foes and freezing ones toes.
Laura told him the news. Their
guests would arrive that evening in
time for dinner.

PRESERVATION OF YOUTH.

Keeping the heart young is one of
the great secrets of retaining a youth
full appearance and is far better than
creams n external treatment. Main
tain a cheerful, healthy outlook on life.
Keep up a youthful spirit and you
will keep up youthful looks. If you feel
old. you will look old, no matter what
your age may be-even II you are still
on the sunny side of 40. Inaction and
lack of interest In outside affairs tend
to crystalline a woman's sympathies and
make her "old" compared to the woman
who keeps her heart young by opening
her mind to humanity, thinking little
of self. and approaching the humorous
and romantic elements of life that are
the saving grace of those with burdens
to bear.
