Family conferences are proceeding to-
day over the desire of Edwin A. Wood
ward, a nineteen-year-old youth, La
Massachusetts avenue, to marry Mrs
Mary Swank, a young and pretty di-
vorcee, who lives at PA E street north
west. The couple attempted to get
married yesterday afternoon, but failed
because they picked an Episcopalian
clergyman, the Rev. Randolph w.
LowIie, Alb Fourth street northwest,
who would not marry a divorced per-
son.
This is not the first time that fate
has been unlkind to Mrs. Swank in a
marital venture.
Cause of Her Divorce.
years ago, married Wood May, scion of
a prominent family. on a dare. Last
October she was taken by her parents
to Oklahoma, where she secured a di-
vorce and the right to resume her
maiden name. Wood May had caused
this action by two feats. lie forged
his fathers name to a check for $500.
More exciting than this, his wife had
caught him in the act of marrying an
other woman in Philadelphia.
The summer after Mrs. Swank had
married May, two years ago, the couple
went TO Atlantic City for a belated
honeymoon. May told his wife after ar
rival that business required his presence
in Philadelphia.
Suspecting something wrong, Mrs.
May followed him, and arrived in the
nick of time. May, who is said to have
been somewhat unbalanced, was just
about to lead to the altar another young
woman.
Mays forged signature followed this
episode and Mrs. Swank and her parents
decided that it would be just as we'll
If Mrs. Swank secured a divorce.
Worked for Scalp Doctor.
Mrs. Swank, who is now about twenty
two years of age, has been a hair dress
er and manicurist, and was employed
for two years by a scalp specialist. Dr.
G. n. Payette. Later she worked for a
time at the Dolby hair dressing estab-
lishment on F street near Ninth.
Mrs. Swank was a well-behaVed little
GIRL said DR.. Payette today, land her
conduct has always been above re-
proach. l met her just after she had
married May, of whom / did not think
much. She told me that he had said
on Christmas eve:
" i dare you to marry me tomorrow
Mrs Swank said she had answered."
I II take your dare.
Il told her that I did not think much
of May, but that as long as she had
married him, she must make the best
of it. / hope her present troubles end
happily"
E. T. Woodward. father of the would
be-groom, declared today that he would
never give his consent to his son marry
ing Mrs. Swank.
On the other hand, Mrs. Woodward,

TAFT IS INVITED TO
MAKE HIS SUMNER
HOME IN MARYLAND
Delegation Wants Him to
Use Famous Garrett
County Home.

Maryland today put in its bid for the
summer capital of the country. A
delegation of prominent citizens of
Garrett county called on the President
and rendered him the most delightful
spot in the country. they said. for a
summer home. And this proffer. too,
was made without any suggestion OF
cost to the Executive.
The committee was composed Of DR..
Charles w Baldwin. of Baltimore and
Oakland; Dr. Charles Eldred Shelton,
of Mountain Lake Park, and C. S. Da-
Wis, Of Oakland. They fret asked the
President to visit Mountain Lake Park
on June ., when the Chautauqua opens,
and then told him they were prepared
to offor him a summer home, ready and
furnished.
Cottage At Deer Park.
This home is the cottage at Deer
Park, in which the late President
Cleveland spent his honeymoon. It Is
also the same cottage in which the
late President Harrison sojourned more
than once. 1t is. the committee told
the President. beautifully located, and
at his command, any time he chooses
to take II.
Incidentally the President accepted
the invitation of the committee to visit
Mountain Lake Park June 3. He will
be the guest of the Park Association,
and will speak in the auditorium on
Missions in the Philippines"
Senator Cummins of Iowa introduced
the committee of MaryIanders to the
President. He is a personal friend Of
DR.. Shelton.
Utah Visitors See Taft.
A delegation from the Salt LAKE City
board of education was introduced to
the President today by Representative
Howell Of Utah. This committee has in
charge the expenditure of 100000 for
new high school building. and is in WASH
ington to study the architecture of the
high schools of this city.
President Taft has at last settled the
long standing controversy over the ap-
pointment of a postmaster for Norfolk,
Va. naming Col Clinton L. Wright to
succeed S. B. Carney. Mr.. Carney had
first been recommended by Alvah II.
Martin, national committeeman from
Virginia. The President would not
appoint him again on account of the
charge that while assistant under the
late Postmaster Waddy, he received
part of his superior's salary. After this
Mr.. Martin recommended Mr.. Wright,
who has been connected with the Nor
folk Office for twenty-three years.
An invitation has been extended to the
President by Senator Cummins and
Former Senator Lafayette Young to
visit Des Moines, Iowa.. during Sep
tember. This has been taken under ad-
yisement, and will consider II in making
up the itinerary for the long Western
trip in that month.
Senator Cummins of Iowa called at
the White House today, and predicted
a vote on direct election of Senators
resolution during the present week. He
is of the opinion that the Bristow sub
stitute will be adopted. and looks for
d verv close vote. He would not be sur
prised IL the Vice President were called
upon to settle the matter by casting the
deciding vote.

whenever pressure was removed from
the market 1t displayed an easy i'm
provement, but with the renewal OF a
selling movement, yielded just as read
lily.
Careful observers, commenting on the
proposed cut in steel prices, recall that
when the cut was made In February,
1909, 1t marked the turning or the tide
in the steel business. That the price
has not been cut before this wasJ due
entirely to the belief Of the leaders that
such an effort would not have acted as
a stimulant to the market, but would
have simply reduced the profit on the
small orders that were received. NOW
that the situation has been CHARMED,
the feeling is hopeful of general in
crease in orders on cuts.
Additional selling orders have been
caused largely by the persistent at
tempts of traders to take profits, as
their margin of gain dwindled away in
the reactionary trend.

FAIR DIVORCE IN
TANGLED ROMANCE
Family Conferences in Progress to Determine 1t Mrs
Swank Is to Wed Youthful E. A. Woodward, Whose
4 Parents Oppose Match

I mother of the would-be bridegroom, said
| today that If argument and coaxine
| did not make her son change his mind
| she would give her consent. Mrs. Wood.
ward believes she can induce her hus'
band to agree also.
Family Conferences.
Mrs. Woodward and Mrs. Swank went
into conference late this morning al
the Woodward home. At the same houI
another and a hostile section of the
Woodward family held conference al
422 Massachusetts avenue the home OF
Mrs. John Stewart, a sister of Edwin
Woodward
Mrs. Stewart and her brother Thomas
woodward. are unalterably opposed 10
the marriage, because" says Mrs
| Stewart Mrs Swank is divorced
woman and is much too old for Edwin
Mrs. Swank is thirty years old II she
is day, and l woulS not be surprised II
she were thirty-five."
Mrs. Swank herself says she is twen-
ty-two, and her looks bear out the state
ment.
Mrs. Swank passed an anxious night.
and was much worried today also be-
cause she gave young Woodward's age as
twenty-one, when she herself procured
the marriage license.
DO you think they could do anything
to me?" she inquired, "and wouldn't II
fix things UP If Mrs. Woodward now
goes to the license bureau and gives her
consent"
Incidentally, Mrs. Swank occupied
herself in keeping the news of her pre-
dicament from her father and mother.
who are as yet ignorant Of the whole
affair, she says.
Mrs. Swank declares that Tom Wood
ward, the brother, tore up the marriage
license when the couple came home
with 1t. Tom Woodward and his sister,
Mrs. Stewart, say emphatically that
Edwin Woodward tore the license in two
after his mother tainted. Mrs. Woodward
was overcome when the couple came in
saying:
Mother, we are going to get mar
ried."
Who Tore the License?
Mrs. Woodward thinks that 1t was
Edwin who destroyed the license.
All members of the family are much
concerned because the address of Mrs.
Swank was printed incorrectly in a
morning newspaper.
The street given is by no means as
good a neighorhood as where Mrs.
Swank does i've" Said Woodward
pere, and it is doing the family name
an injury to have my sons name as
ISOLATED with such an address.
Mrs. Swank says that If the family
is not won over" she does not know
what she will do.
1t was suggested to her that she and
Woodward might wait until he comes
of age, two years hence.
"Oh. I could not wait that long,"
sighed Mrs. Swank. "and besides my
father and mother are going West in
eight days and / must settle the matter
one way or another by that time"

M. Pasteur, sometimes called the
Greatest Physician often said 81 be-
lieye that we shall one day rid the

ing the germs. The HYOMEI
method is the only sensible method,
because you breathe the highly anti
septic and germ killing air directly
over the entire membrane infested
with catarrh germs.
HYOMEI will cure catarrh. There
may be some complicated cases where
it will fail, but the chances are ten
to one in its favor, and the sufferer
from catarrh takes no risk, because
HYOMEI is a guaranteed remedy,

HYOMEI will also give instant re-

SPRING-NoT YET.

Editor Pilot:
Who was it said that spring has
arrived, aroye or arriven? Hang the
chump, or, better still, boil him in
hot kerosene oil. From the windows
of my castle wherein ! am penciling
these lines, on this 30th day of March,
Ammo Domini 1911, | can look out and
see one broad expanse of that which
has been the theme for so many
mushy rhymsters. Methinks the
PILOT is little mixed when it speaks
of preparations being made for the
base ball season. Snow balls, my boy,
are still in style, and high balls fur
nish tonic for conversation, since
the vets and drys of this city have
put on the gloves and jumped into
the squared circle. These two ele-
ments are supplying about all the
tmOspheric warmth and barometric
pressure at present.
Is this not spring, we have been
asked?
Yes, this is NOT spring. This is
last winter. We had so little winter
last winter that we are having last
winter this spring. If we have good
luck, we may have little spring next
summer or next fall. If the Wausau
Ice & Fuel Co. and the Healy &
Brown Co. think they haven't enough
ice in cold storage, now is the time
for them to cut ice. At present they
don't cut much ice with us What
appeals to us is jug of Jamaica
ginger and a hot brick
We understand that our two florists,
G. Lund and NJ. Philip, have green
lettuce and onions in their green
houses. That is no sign of spring.
If these two gentlemen wish to be
kind to their vegetables they will
blanket them and mt hot water
bottles to their feet at night. No,
green things are not sign of spring.
Has not Healy 81 Brown been de-
liyering wood and coal in green
wagon boxes all winter? And one of
my neighbours wives (he has but one)
wears green dresses and green plumes
in her bonnet at all seasons, and an
grily AYERS that she is not as green as
she appears.
1t will be noticed that the ducks
and geese now flying northward are
flying backward. This, we understand,
they do to avoid being blinded by
snow storms, which they may en-
counter.
No, spring is not yet-how soon?
Yours truly,
WILT WORK.

What better gift can you make your
boy or girl at this turning point in
their lives than to start savings
account for them at the National
German-American bank? They are
growing into manhood and woman

to say that they will then appreciate
nothing more than this. One dollar
