HAMBURG ROMANCE
BRINGS GIRL HERE
TO WE'D MUSICIAN
Member of Marine Band
Meets His Fiancee at
Baltimore Dock.

A pretty romance which had it's in
ception amid the quaint gardens Of
Hamburg, Germany, came to an end
with the docking of the steamer Neckar
from Bremen at Baltimore yesterday,
when Siegfried Scherbau, a member Of
the United States Marine Band, living

met his "fatherland" sweetheart, Miss
Marie Anderson, and made her his wife.
The ceremony was performed by the
Rev. Otto Apitz, immigration mission
ary, stationed at the dock.
Scherbau and Miss Anderson proved Of
great interest to the immigration and
custom officials at the pier. Miss An
dersen made the voyage alone, and was
met at the pier by her husband-to-be.
Scherbau said today that he fell in
love with the girl who is now his wife
about five years ago, while visiting in
Hamburg. They met In one OF the
gardens for which the city is famed, he
said, and the flame of love was kept
burning through correspondence. The
happy couple received the congratula-
tions of friends when they returned to
this city from Baltimore last night.
They will make their home at the South

MULE THE VICTOR
IN ENCOUNTER DUE
TO WARM WEATHER
William Coleman, Colored,
Goes to Hospital After
Exciting Episode.

Another hope OF the colored race. in
the age-old feud with the Missouri
mule, has gone. down to ignominious
defeat.
William Coleman differed with a big
black mule in the stable in the rear
OF S2lS X street northwest yesterday y
afternoon, and William came off second
best. He was cleaning down the mule,
after a day on the hot streets. They
had been working companions for quite
some time, and they got along fine
until the hot weather.
Williams disposition seemed niched to
ut that particular mule, and sudden
commotion in the stable at supper time
last evening started considerable ex-
citement in the neighborhood. There
is no witness to say whether William
became cross or the mules disposition
, suddenly soured, and he had a change
OF heart. At any rate, In no mild voice
William requested the mule to git over
dar."
Now the mule scented his supper ard
was impatient. Consequently when
William gave emphasis to his words
the hind legs of that mule rose in one
mighty wave of resentment. Knowing
mules william did his best to keep IL
one side, but a narrow stall is no place
in which to dodge failing hoofs and
William went down and out.
Friends started him on bis way 70
Georgetown University Hospital. VIII.
lam felt better when there was that
much distance between himself and
that particular mule and he is well on
the only injuries except to tempera-
ment, sustained

Remodeling or House
Is Again Postponed

The remodeling of the House Of Rep
resentatives will not be attempted this
summer. The last chance expired this
week. Had Congress adjourned before
July 10, the work might have been
rushed by Elliott Woods, Superintendent
Of the Capitol Building and Grounds,
and have been completed before the
next session in December. but the re-
modelling has been definitely postponed
until 1913
disappointment prevailed last year
when the special session Of Congress,
called by President Taft to pass the
Canadian reciprocity bill, lasted far into
midsummer, and caused the postpone
ment OF the project at that time II
was then believed that the summer OF
1912 would see the completion Of the
work, and 1t was not until the present
week that Superintendent Woods de-
cided 1t was impossible to attempt the
remodeling at this time.

WOMAN WOULD-BE
SUICIDE TRIES To
PROTECT HUSBAND
Mrs. R. H. Davis, Who
Swallowed Camphor,
Will Recover.

Mrs. r. II. Davis. the eighteen-year-
old woman who attempted to commit
suicide on the Capitol Grounds last
night by drinking spirits Of camphor,
attempted even on the verge Of death
to both protect her husband, alleged to
be deserter from the navy, and in
form him of her end. She was taken
to her home, 404 3 street northeast, to-
day from Casualty Hospital, still nerv-
Gus and hysterical, but entirely re-
covered from the Ill effects Of the cam
phor.
A note was found on her dress when
she was picked up on the Capitol
Grounds. In it che asked to be taken
to her mothers home and not to a
hospital. This direction was dictated
by her effort to keep secret the pres
ent location of her husband, whose aa-
dress, under a fictitious name, vas on
the note. This note is now in the hands
of the police.
Mrs. Davis has been married three
years. From what she told attendants
at Casualty Hospital It has been three
years Of tragedy. Her husband was
a common sailor, and her unha ppiness
is attributed largely to his actions.
Il have had as much trouble In the
last three years as most women who are
f1fty," said the patient this morning. IL
did not want to live longer"
Attendants at the hospital are salts
fed of the truth Of this assertion, and
believe that Mrs. Davis was convinced
that the relatively harmless spirits OF
camphor would cause speedy death.
Mrs. Davis and her parents have lived
at 40i street northeast only about ten
days. Formerly they lived in the south
west section.
When the unconscious woman was
found in the Capitol grounds a crowd
gathered quickly. Dr. Willis Lynn, OF
Casualty Hospital, was passing or
another call, and, stopping. examined
the woman, and ordered her sent to
the hospital.
