MARRIED ON LICENSE
He CARRIED THREE YEARS
Pear and the Widow Quarrelled
and Parted Before Day
Set For Wedding

KANSAS CITY. Mo, Feb "A
marriage license issued three years
ago-so worn, besmeared and ragged
that IL had to be duplicated-was
pulled from the pocket of Karl Pear,
2S years old, miner from Mulberry.
Kan. and used when he married Mrs.
Grace While, "a years old, widow.
He intended making her his bride
three years ago, when a quarrel in
terrupted their plans. The ceremony
was performed by l.. A. Halbert, SUI
perintendent of the board of public
welfare, in the Office OF the pardon
and parole board in the city hall.
Three years ago the couple came to
Kansas City TO be married. They had
a good time until II was almost time
for the wedding and then they quar-
relied. They went back to their homes
In Mulberry. But Pears love for the
little woman was not killed.
Five weeks ago Mrs. While came TO
Kansas City again. She did not come
10 get married this time. She came
alone and she came to have a tiSle OF
II. And a good time she did have.
When she went TO the union station
to take train she was In condition
which makes one appear as II he were
on shipboard.
Mrs. While was arrested and when
she appeared before Judge Clarence
A. Burney in the north side municipal
court she was fined 800 and sent to
the women's workhouse.
When Pear heard OF the woman's
trouble his old love for her returned
and he began to do everything In his
power to get her paroled. The parole
board received many letters from him
and other persons in Mulberry asking
the woman's parole.
His request was granted finally ana
the two met in the city hall. Their
old affection returned and they de-
cided to carry out the plans they had
made three years ago.
l.. A. Halbert was chosen to per
form the ceremony, and Mrs. Kate
Pierson and Karl Schrieber. clerks In
the office, were the witnesses. When
the knot was tied Pear handed Mr..
Halbert So bill. He was thanked by
Mr.. Halbert, but stood waiting as IL
he had something on his mind. Hal
bert put on his hat and coat and left
the office. Pear showed no inclina-
ton to leave with his newly acquired
possession.
''was there something else?" asked
a clerk.
Nothing; only I'm waiting for my
change. | gave him S. and I've got
$50 in change coming" replied the
newly-wed. The office force could not
SUPPRESS their smiles. One OF them
managed to explain that Mr.. Halbert
had gone home and that he had
thought the IS was for him.
Grumbling about the nerve Of some
city oncials, Pear departed with his
bride. He's going back to Mulberry
where they treat you right"

EXPRESS COMPANIES
PAY MEAGER SALARIES

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.-While
George C. Taylor. of the American
Express Co., was detailing TO the In
terstate commerce commission today
how his company took an almost
parental interest in its employees
Examiner Ryan, for the commission,
introduced as evidence figures show
Ing that express clerks and cashiers
received less salary than that paid
stable men.
Cashiers and clerks received an
average of 500 a year; stable men,
$675. The average paid all employees
was $3.50.
Taylor laid stress on the high char
acter demanded of employees.
I'VE canduct rigid Investigation
of every prospective employee he
said. I'VE go back 10 years in every
mans record, because we hope every
employee is ambitious for advance
ment, and thus in time he may be
called upon to handle large sums OF
money"
