MARRIES AMERICAN
GIRL, DISINHERITED
The President of Ecuador Is Wroth
Over Young Plaza's
Wedding.

Chicago, April l5.-lt became know
here yesterday that Frutos Plaza, q
years of age, a nephew of Leonida,
Plaza, president of Ecuador, married al
American girl several days ago in Chi
cago and that as a result the young
bridegroom's remittance has been cut
off and he is threatened with disinheri
lance by his relative.
The bride is Miss Pauline Dole Of
Chicago. Frutos Plaza came to this
country four years ago to finish his
education, and, after spending three
years at West Point, came to Chicago.
He met Miss Dole at a West Point
football game, and soon afterwards
they became engaged. When he wrote
his uncle of the engagement, it is said
the president of Ecuador offered strenu.
GUS objection and said he had planned
for the young man a marriage with
beautiful Spanish girl. Young Plaza
was determined to mary his American
sweetheart, despite the objections of his
family and obtained position with
the foreign department of a Chicago
firm.

NEW SENATOR A SUFFRAGIsT.
Hollis Expects Congress to Pass on
Amendment in Fall.

Washington, April l5.-Deelaring his
belief that an equal suffrage amendment
t. the federal constitution would pass
both houses of the present Congress at
the first regular session, Senator Hollis
of New Hampshire predicted yesterday
that Maine, Massachusetts and his own
state would ratify such a measure. Mr..
Hollis, the first Democrat to represent
his state in the upper house since the
Civil war, il working for the amendment
in and out of the capital.
New England is conservative and STOW
to adopt political reforms such as this,
he said In most of the states es-
peeially in New Hampshire and Mass
achusetts, the suffragists are active, but
they have stirred up great deal of OPP
position. Equal suffrage was defeated
IN Maine last winter by a close vote, and
in New Hampshire and Massachusetts,
by large majorities. The feeling now is
that equal suffrage is likely to come
through the federal government sooner
than through state action.
II believe the Senate committee on
elections is strongly in favor of won-
ans suffrage"

FRANK L. POLK FOR

Lawyer, Former Chairman of State Civil

William Loeb, Jr.

Washington, April l5.-Frank L. Polk
New York lawyer, and former chair
man of the New York civil service com
mission, has formally accepted President
| Wilson's offer to become collector of GUS
tens at New York, succeeding William
Loeb, jr., and his nomination is expected
to be sent to the Senate when it meets
to-day. Secretary MeAdoo urged the
president to appoint him.
Directly, Mr.. Folks appointment is
taken as the expression of Presidept
Wilson's desire to have strictly bu-i-
nesslike administration of the port. In
directly, it is taken as slap at Tam
many hall. with which organization Polk
has never been peculiarly intimate, and
as a justification of the recent visit to
the White House of Franklin ID. Roosr-
Welt and other new-fashioned Democrats
who sought out President Wilson to
urge him to appoint man from some
sphere outside of the shadow of Charles

the floor of the House. The bill also
carries appropriations for various
branches of the government totaling
81 l6.000.000. President Wilson does not
favor attaching general legislation to
Appropriation bills, but he does not re-
gard the particular provision to which
objection was made as one that estab

10 labor unions or farmers organiza-
