BELGIAN SUSPECT

under way.
Detectives Leeson and Moody of the

! through Belgian Consul General Mail,
Nestor Wilmart of Ghent, who is ac-
cused of stock manipulation that cost

They were in quest of a man weigh

strength. despite his 30 years, and one
who had known only a life of ease and
refinement. though that life had been
! literally checkered with gay dinners
TO chorus girls, both in Belgium and
France, and an Unsuitable appetite for
the costly luxuries of existence.
But all the detectives gained was
the story OF the suicide at sea OF Louis
Labarque. a passenger OF the steerage
who weighed some 300 pounds, who
could not talk English. who showed
all the earmarks of better days and
who bore upon the back OF his mech
an ugly scar.
Such a scar had been worn by the
defaulter, Wilmart, since the time
some years ago. when, singlehanded
he routed a band of brigands, al
though sorely wounded by a knife
slash.
The detectives. however. expressed
themselves as not altogether satisfied
that the suicide was Wilmart and con
sequently will meet and search all in

MRS. CLEVELAND
CAUSES SURPRISE
Friends Pleased With the News
of Her Engagement to
Marry.

of Mrs. Grover Cleveland, widow of

their surprise and at the same. time
their pleasure at the announcement
of her engagement to Professor Thom-
as J. Preston, Jr. One of those most
pleased was the man who made the
announcement, President John Grier
Hibben of Princeton university, a mu-
tual friend of the affianced couple.
Professor Preston first met Mrs.
Cleveland in this city, where he was
taking a special course in 1906. He
went out into the society of the uni
versity set a good deal. Later a mu-
tual interest attracted them to each
ether, for Professor Preston took the
chair of archaeology at Wells college,
Mrs. Cleveland's alma mater, In which
she has always been greatly interested.
Mrs. Cleveland is 4S years old. two
years younger than Professor Pres
| ton.
Former President Grover Cleveland

city after a long Illness. Since then
Mrs. Cleveland, who was known as
the White house bride, because of heI
marriage to President Cleveland after
his first election, has been living al
the Cleveland home here.
The marriage of President Cleveland
and Miss Frances Folsom was the re
suit of romance that extended ovel
many years, although 1t was a sur
prise when the engagement was an
nounced, for President Cleveland was
thought to be a confirmed bachelor.
Mrs. Cleveland's father, Oscar Fol
som. was a law partner of Mr.. Cleve

In 1875, became Frances Folsom'
guardian.
