UNCLE SAM is
OUT THE COIN
Loses $50 Fec on $1,000
Money Order Today.

1t is not often that Uncle Sam
loses an opportunity to earn an
honest penny, but the refusal of a
foreigner to agree with the laws of
the money order department this
morning at the postofhce cost the
government just $36. A stout Hun
garian stepped to the window of the
money order branch at the postoffice
shortly before II o'clock this morn
ing and informed Clerk William
Pemberton hal he wished to send
$1,000 to the "Old Country" by the
cheapest system.
Mr.. Pemberton talked over sever
al methods of transporting the
money to the folks back home"
and finally selected the money order
system as the most economical.
"Thirty-six dollars is the charge"
said Mr.. Pemberton, as he reached
for the stack of fives, tens and twen-
ties. The capitalist finally agreed
to place the small fortune in the
safe keeping of the government and
allowed the clerk to count the
change" 1t was correct-just
$1,000. But after Mr.. Pemberton
had checked the "rolp' several times
and was about to make out neces-
sary slips for the exchange, the gen.
tleman Of wealth decided to decide
differently. He withdrew his roll
and was last seen by the astonished
clerk tripping lightly along the cor
ridor.

GIBBS TO REWED
MISS BENNETT
Ceremony as Soon as First
Wife is Divorced.

Metuchen, July 18.-Preparations
for the remarriage of Delaphine c.
Bennett and Tyler M. Gibbs, who
was recently arrested for bigamy,
are being made, according to the
statement of Mr.. and Mrs. William
H. Bennett. parents of the young
woman today. The ceremony Will
be performed, they said, upon the
granting of the final decree of di-
vorce to Mrs. Edith Sammls Gibbs,
of White Plains. Mrs. Gibbs No. 1
received the interlocutory decree
from Justice Morschauser at Pough-
keepsie, N. Y, last Saturday.
According to Mrs. Bennett, this
course has been decided upon as the
best manner In which to clear up
an unpleasant affair, once and for
ALL" Until the ceremony Is per-
formed, she said, her daughter Will
see very little of Gibbs until the lat
ter Is legally separated from his first
wife.
Mrs. Bennett branded as false GER
tain stories that have been pub
lished with relation to the move
ments of her daughter and herself.
She denied positively that they had
gone to Newark ON Saturday to meet
Gibbs or that her daughter vas now
in his company.
"It Is true" she said, that we
went to Newark and met a gentle
man at the station there, but he was
an old family friend, who had Of
fered his summer home as a place of
s%eclus1on for my daughter. My hus-
band was aware of our intention to
leave town, and, in fact, he helped
US with our traps and escorted us
to the station"
This statement was corroborated
by Mr.. Bennett. The latter denied
emphatically that he had discovered
the absence of Mrs. Bennett on his
return home Saturday. With equal
positiveness he denied that she had
left any note telling of her deter
mination to be absent for several
days.
Admitting that while she and Mr..
Bennett had felt prejudiced against
Gibbs, following his indictment for
bigamy by the Middlesex County
Grand Jury, after marrying her
daughter, Mrs. Bennett declared that
this feeling had since changed.
I'VE realize" she continued, that
he believed the divorce he received
from his first wife in Texas was
legal at the time he married our
daughter"
