Method Discredited

Captain de Carteret, of the cable ship

discredits practically all Of tae methods

unity of icebergs at sea. From the re-

useless.
While the Minia was cruising In search
of bodies of the Titanic victims, reports
the captain, icebergs were sighted NOV

ory they should nave been drifting

WILEY BABY GETS
ANOTHER PROPOSAL,
!. It GAME TOO LATE
Pure Food Child, Through
Father, Gives Chicago
Belle a Heart Jolt.

Harvey w. Wiley, jr, Is not to be
bigamist.
That much was settled this morning,
when Dr. Wiley declined for him an
offer of marriage from Miss Ruth May
Harrison, of Chicago, born May 10 and
made through her parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. Harry p. Harrison. Mr.. Harrison
is manager of the Redpath Chautauaua
circuit.
DR.. Wiley announced the engagement
of the pure food baby" Just one week
old, at the graduating exercises of the
Columbia School of Nurses last night.
He stated that the formal request for
the hand Of his son had been made by
Mr.. and Mrs. r. M. Allen, Of Lexington,
KY, In behalf of their infant daugh-
ter, Miss Mabel Allen, just six days old
er than the young Wiley. He said, how
ever, that the acceptance was condi-
] tionaI on the later ratification of the
young folks.
In declining the proposal from Chi
cago DR.. wiley said: Regarding the
proposal of marriage made in behalf
of Miss Ruth May Harrison, my son
wishes me to say for him that he feels
honored by the interest the young lady
| takes in his future welfare.
Unfortunately, however, he requests
me to say that the laws of the coun'
try are particularly severe on bigamists
Before receiving this very compliment
| ary proposal the young gentleman hac
accepted similar one from Bln'
| Grass belle OF tender years. He ask
me to say, also that the fact that Mis-,
Ruth In six days older than he has hac
no effect in causing him to reject th'
fattering proposal.
He asks me to request that his nam
be still kept in mind by Miss Ruth IL
case the Blue Grass belle, Miss Mabel
| should develop a degree Of fcklenes
canceling Of the engagement"
