A MARRIAGE THAT PEEVED A MILLIONAIRE BRINGS
ABOUT A COMPLICATION OF RELATIONSHIP

Palm Beach, March 14.-Hen-
ry Clay Pierce, millionaire Stand
ard Oil highlander, is the orig
inal little sulk today.
Henry has locked himself in
his own room. He wont see in
reviewers, He wont talk, even
through the keyhole. He wont
do anything except sulk.
And all because his young and
hopeful son, Roy Ellsworth
Pierce, has been and gone and
married his own stepsister.
Perhaps the reason Henry
wont talk today is that he pump
ed himself dry yesterday, when
Roy broke the news to him.
Henry called a family council
Immediately, and the neighbors
say it was some council, from the
sounds that emanated from the
Pierce residence.
The council lasted all day, and
when Roy and his blushing bride
left for St. Augustine in the
evening, Roy admitted that "the
old man was somewhat peeved,
so to speak"
The "o1d man. seems to labor
under the delusion that his, pro-
prietary rights have been irfring-
ed on by his hopeful SON. Roy's
bride is the daughter of Mrs.
Virginia Prickett Burr ows
Pierce, whom the "old man. abb
systematically married in London
in 1909.
Therefore, the "old man" had
come to look upon the younger
Virginia as his own daughter,
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1912-03-14

For instance, the old man
now becomes his own sons faith
er-in-law, and the "old mans"
wife becomes the mother-in-Iaw
of her own stepson.
The bride becomes the daugh-
ter-in-law of her step-papa, and
the step-daughter-in-law of her
own mother. Also she becomes
her own step-sister-in-law, so
they tell us, and if there is an
other generation of Pierces, the
children will be the -, but let's
stop this, before something drops.
This isn't the first marital adj
venture of young Pierce. Two
years ago, he married Mrs. Eliz-
abeth Faulkner Chapman, better
known as Betty Chapman, a ia
nous show girl and the divorced
wife of Boston banker.
The 'old man" grew peeved
about this marriage, too. He did
not seem to think that divorced
wife and a show girl was good
enough for the son of Standard
Oil brigand.
Being naturally of a sweet for ?
giving temperament, the "old
man" hired detectives to hound
Betty, and started annulment
proceedings, using his bankroll
with some freedom and careless
ness.
He finally got the kibosh put
on the marriage, quite recently.
They say he had to pay the Lady
Betty a cool 100000 to keep
quiet about it, too.
And then this thing comes off,
and TODAY the "old man" isn't

statement that the President Of tho United

this statement reflects upon the integrity
OF the society, the wisdom and judgment
OF the President Of the United States and
other guests who were present at the ban
auet OF the society on April 2, 1911, and
is calculated to damage the reputation OF
the society

statement Of Mr.. Collier Copies OF these
resolutions have been sent to those who at

nifty TO obtain beautiful and striking effects.

somely furnished greenroom. TO which the
actors may repair when not on the stage.
The building throughout Is absolutely
fireproof, no wood being used in the con-
struction. Floors and stairways are of
cement: wire lathing Is being Used through

SAYS STRIKE IS JUSTIFIED
Representative of Peoples Fo-
rum Renorts from Lawrence.

The Peoples Forum. which meets after
church service every evening In the parish
house of the Church Of the Ascension,
heard a report last night on the strike Oh
the textile workers in Lawrence Mass
from Samuel A Stodel, member OF the
Industrial Workers of the World when IS
now managing the strike He went to Law
renee on behalf of the Peoples Forum ana
found that the strike was justified, The
strikers were paid less than living wages
and were forced TO strike.
He accused representatives of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor of trying to en-
roll strikers in that body and induce them
to make an agreement with the employers
This, he held if carried out would do the
strike harm, as the idea would go abroad
that II was over.
In answer TO a question, Stodel said that
there was little rioting before the militia
came. He was not there before the militia
came, but thought the militia caused
trouble and that the police were the real
preservers of order.

Quotes Abraham Lincoln II
Justification of Strikes.

Montclair, n. j., Feb, (SpeciaD.-John
Mitchell. vice-president of the American
Federation Of Labor, said tonight in Unity
Church here that II he believed the success
Of the trade union movement depended in
any degree upon the commission of Illegal
acts he would not hesitate for moment
TO sever his relations with it. Mr.. Mitchell
made the statement during a discussion or
"Labor's Programme for Industrial JUS
tice."
1.-The Justifable practices and the splen-
cid principles Of trade unionism should not
be assai!ed because of occasional violence
or on account Of illegal acts committed In
It's name. Just as the Church is not TO be
condemned because some OF its adherents
Rave been guilty occasionally OF wrong
doing" ne said
As to the justifability Of the strike. Mr.
Mitchell in his address quoted Abraham
Llncoln's reference to the strike of the New
England shoe workers in a speech deliv-
cred at Hartford, Conn. In 1860: THANK
God. we have a system OF labor where
there can be a striker He said there is no
truth in the charge often made that trade
unions desire strikes because they are or
ganized for that purpose.
