Dr. Alexander Graham Bell, appear

You have no idea Of the absurdities of
our speech" said DR.. Bell. For instance,
enough spells enuff, whereas p-l-o-u-g-h
spells pillow. A foreigner might think that
c-o-u-g-h spelled COW, but it doesn't If
we want the English language to dissem-

be some universal alphabet to represent

Asked by Representative Difenderfer of

mercial language of the world, Mr.. Bell
said 1t undoubtedly was.

brother of Edward B. Alsop, the septua-

Washington, whose marriage to Miss
Effie Pope Hill, nineteen years old, not
long ago created a sensation, said yes
terday that as far as he knew there was
no quarrel between Mr.. and Mrs. Alsop.

had been made trustee for the $1,000 600
estate which the millionaire was said to
have transferred to his sons without MAX
ing any provision for his young bride.
Not Designated as Trustee.
AS trustee, the Brooklyn preacher was
to pay the income from the property to
Mr. Alsop as long as he lived This
was also denied by Rev. Mr.. Alsop, who
said that he knew Of no such provision,
and that he was sure any such report
was a mistake.
When asked if Mr.. Alsop was not on
his way to Litchfield. Conn, to effect a
reconciliation with his wife, the brother
said he did not believe there was any
truth in that report, and as far as he
knew his brother was in Pittsburgh.
