ELOPES WITH HIS
OWN STEP:S|STER
Roy Ellsworth Pierce Is
Married to Miss Virginia
BurrOWeS.

PALM REACH, Fla. March 4.-Hen-
ry Clay Pierce, millionaire oil magnate
Of St. Louis, sulked in his home today
and refused to make any statement re-
garding the marriage of his son, Roy
Ellsworth Pierce to the later's step-sis-
ter, Miss Virginia Burrowes. However,
the millionaire had much to say to his
son when he learned Of the marriage.
1t took him all day Yesterday to say it
and when young Pierce left last night
for ST. Augustine with his. bride, he
admitted that the old man was in a
very bad humOr." Both the bride and
bridegroom declared, however, that
they were happy. The bride is the
Burrowes Pierce, whom the elder Pierce
married in London in 1909. Her father
is w. Alexander Burrowes, a New York
banker.
Young Pierce was married to Mrs
Elizabeth Faulkner Chapman. famous
show girl and divorced wife Of Bos-
ton banker, at POughkeepsiC, y. Y,
i'm 1910, but the ceremony was annulled
last October. 1t was shown at that
time that young Pierce was incompetent
through drink and cigarettes.

Mr.. White this morning, Mr.. White
marries on an average, two or three or
more Washington couples, often elopers,
each week, although he says that some
times he does not have a marriage for
two or three weeks at a stretch.
Brother Keen gets good many of

minister who also has united a good

who overcomes a real temptation does

Ned sat quietly thinking for a few
minutes, and then he asked: IF l had
not gone swimming the other day when
the boys teased me to go, would that
have been victory"'
Yes" replied his mother, that would

The mother vino mas a lively young

bargain offered by a store near Seventh

ribbed hose, but have the advantage Of
being double material where all the
wear and tear comCs-at tic knees,
heels, and toes. Although these stock
ings are usually sold for 90 cents a pair
this week they will be 25 cents. In the
same department stocking for the lit
tic girl, who will wear this summer Il

Isle hose, which look like silk, but wear
much tctter. Although heretofore they
have been 80 cents, this week they are
teing sacrificed at D cents.
A department store in Eighth street

charming little spring and summer
frocks. They are made of various ma

made of wood-brown messaline. II has
the high waist lire that Dame Fashion
insists upon, and little apron effect.
Tie sleeves and collar, the front panel.
and the wide turned-up hem are all
edgeo with a litt!e quilted rLffle of the

designs are shown, all marked $7.95.
The approach of Easter is heralded

which are appropriate for that season
The cunningest trifies are displayed for
the little ones, including rabbits in all
shapes, sizes and costumes, which are
selling for from to 80 cents. One tiny

Says Politics Disrupted the
Paymaster Generals
Department.

Political campaigns disrupted the en-
tire organization of the payma ster gen.
erals department of the army, accord
ing TO former Paymaster General G. G.
Sniffen, who appeared before the House
Committee on Expenditures in the War
Department today to discuss the case
of Major BeeCher B. Ray.
Snifcn said he had been fighting Rays
political influence since 1905, when Sen
ator Mark Hanna wanted to secure the
return of Ray from the Philippines to
attend the convention of the Brother
hood of Railway Trainmcn at Pitts
burGh. Ray was finally brought back,
but did not attend the convention,
Sniffcn said, the need for his appear
ance there having passed"
Discussing the Taft campaign of 1908,
the witness said:
II was just as good a friend of the
Secretary of War (TafO as General
Edwards, but I felt that the assistance
of an unreliable army officer could be
of but little benefit to a Presidential
aspirant."
In presenting the record Of Rays
transfers throughout the country and
in the Philippines, General Sniffen
declared that Senators Hemenway of
Indiana, Cullom of Illinois, and Han
ma of Ohio, worked to secure Rays
changes, and that he knew that Ray
possessed influence with relative Of
the Secretary of War.
'What was that relatiVe?" asked
Congressman Bulkeley of Ohio.
"Charl,S =. Taft" returned Sniffen.
After tracing Rays activities
through two political campaigns,
Sniffen was asked:
so that he worked in every pOliti-
cal CamDaiEn?'
Yes and for every aspirant for
President" returned Sniffen
What would have happened If
Presidential campaigns came often

of Pennsylvania.
Il wouldn't have had any depart
mont" answered Sniffen. General Ed
wards says l was angry about this
matter. OF course, l was. They were
breaking up the system Of my depart
ment 1t was none of General Edwards
business, nor anyone elses business
what the paymaster general or any
other bureau chief did with his men l

COLUMBIA HEIGHTS
CITIZENS SCORE IN
CONDEMNATION SUIT
Justice Barnard Rules Cause
Must Be Shown for
Opening Alley.

Favorable to the attitude of the Co.
lumbia Heights Citizens Association,
Justice Barnard, in the District Su-
preme Court. has ruled that before
jury is sworn and evidence taken in
the condemnation proceedings to open
certain alley in Columbia Heights
that the actual necessity for the i'm
provement must be shown
The alley in question would be in
Square No. 2SI3, and would be bounded
by Thirteenth and Fourteenth streets
and Kenyon street and Park road. Res
idents and property owners have viCor-
ously Contended that there is no neces-
sity for the alley and that public in
terest does not require any such i'm
proVement. Some of the property own
ers opposing the proceedings saw they
bought their lots with the expectation
that there would be no alley proiected
II am forced to the conclusion that
before the jury is sworn and the evil
dence taken in this case as to the dam
ages and benefits, the issues raised
as to the necessity of the said alley and
as to the fact that the Commissioners
doom the same to be of public interest,
should be inquired into and determined
on proof to be presented to the court"
says Justice BarnGFd, in his lengthy
opinion.
The peculiar shape of the lots in
this square and of the width and di-
rection OF the alley. and the fact that
II does not run through the square
at all, may have a material bearing
rs to the necessity for it, l am not
prepared to say that 1t may not be a
properly designated alley within the
meaning of the law. but there is force
in the argument of the counsel that
the alley should run through from one
side to the other"
Assistant Corporation Counsel p. Il.
Marshall Is appearing in the case for
the Commissioners.

They are having a sale of picture
frames for % cents in an r street
leather store, not far from Twelfth

imitation leather, and brass, and are
artistic. and decidedly reasonable at
this price. Other attractive novelties
are offered in this store at the same
price. which would be just the thing
for card prizes.
