West Point, N Y, Jan. 10.-Cadets at

upon what action the authorities would
take over the marriage of one of the

ed in uniform, was married at larry
town yesterday to Miss Florence N.
Davis. daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harry
]. Davis, of Buffalo. Adler came from
Billings, Mont, and was in his third
year at West Point.
None of the cadets today could re-
call similar romance and they won
dered what the authorities will do if
anything further than declare him dis
qualified as cadet. The charge of
absence without leave, is now pend
ing against him. but cadets say that
Adler will return to face the charge.
Miss Davis met Adler at a football
game more than a year ago. She had
attended a number of dances here and
was highly regarded, while Adler him.

known citizens of this county, was
told in a hearing before a jury IN the

charged with being feeble minded and
an habitual drunkard. The jury sus-
tanned the charges and Probate Judge

to recognize hisafriends, and just any
from him under any sort of pretenses,
it was asserted, as long as he had any
money. riE
Wilkerson has two small children
by his last wife and according to re-
port a visit of the -stork is expected at
the Wilkerson home again in the near

to look out for the little folks and see
that provision is made for them.
Witnesses in the case declared that
Wilkerson, who was once one of the
strongest men in the county both
mentally and physically, has become
a wreck through the excessive use of
liquor 1t has undermined his con-
stitution, and has left him a wreck of
his former self.
Among the witnesses were Mrs.
Anne Schermerhorn, his daughter;
Bob and Tom WilkerSon, two of his
brothers; c.. w. Ward, former
deputy sheriff who served under
Wilkerson; and w. H. Gregg, a recent

New York, Jan. 18-Work ON the
new park for the New York American
League club at Broadway and Two

been begun but it is said today that
the stadium will probably not be ready

League grounds
In the new American League pro-
perty there is a small-sized pond which
is to be filled in with rocks and ashes
before the place will look anything
like a baseball ground. When the
stadium is completed, each of the
three clubs at Greater New York Will
have modern baseball homes.

READY WITH ALIBI.
Tailor Tells How Firebug
"Posted" Him on Fires.
Instructed to See and Speak to
His Acquaintance.

New York, Jan. 10.-Samuel Gold
in a confession made to Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Royal H. Weller told
how easy it is to hire an incendiary
in New York to commit arson in a
business house or dwelling
The confession of Gold will lead to
an investigation, which may result in
the indictment of several firebugs,
who have long been looked upon as
suspects in the office of Fire Marshal
John P Prail, who caused the arrest
of Gold
Gold was Jointly indicted for arson
with Isidor Stein. who, it is alleged,
has been the active agent in more
than three hundred incendiary fires
in New York city, and how many
more in other places is not known.
Sent to Sing Sing for IL Years.
The prisoner was arraigned before
Judge Grain and pleaded guilty to
arson and is in the Tombs awaiting
sentence. Stein is in Sing Sing prison
serving sentence of twelve years on
his conviction for arson.
Gold was a tailor. His business was
not good, so he decided to have a fire
and collect the insurance As a pre-
liminary step he obtained a policy of
insurance from the North British and
Mercantile Insurance company for
$1,000 in Nay, 1912, and then sought
Stein, who was known in certain cir
cles as firebug who would do any
thing for money.
First Arranged an Alibi.
Stein agreed to set fire to the Gold
home and said that the first thing to
do was to arrange. for an aIibi for
Gold and his family. 1t was arranged
for Gold at about the time fixed for
the fire to collect bill, visit a saloon,
buy newspaper, talk to the ticket
chopper, speak to the guards on the
subway and speak to everyone he
knew while making the trip to his
store in Brooklyn from his home
Stein, after all the alibis had been
perfected, on June 20,' 1912 went to
the Gold home. He was under the
surveillance of agents for Fire Mar
sinai Prial and was seen to enter the
place. He was not arrested until after
the fire was started.
Gold alleges that he had no trouble
IN lnsur1ng his property for about
twice its real value and that no one
from the insurance company ever in
spected his furniture. Gold had one
1ncendiary fire in which he collected
the insurance money without any
trouble.
