OBSTACLES REMOVED;
LEISHMAN-CROY TO WED
DAUGHTER of Former American Am
bassador to Germany to Marry
Duke October 28.

Paris, Oct. 15-The numerous obstacles
and determined family opposition which
have interposed to prevent the marriage
of Miss Nancy Leishman and Karl, the
thirteenth Duke Of Croy, at last have
been overcome.
1t is learned that the marriage will take
place in the Cathedral in Geneva on Octo-
Der 2S. At the same time 1t is announced
that because of the veto powers which
family traditions give to members Of the
House of Croy, the exact time will not
be publicly announced until the very day
of the ceremony. This precaution has
been taken to AVOID the possibility of a
dramatic surprise being sprung at the last
moment by those members of the family
who are still opposed to the union OF the
house with the daughter or the former
American Ambassador to Berlin.
1t furthermore is learned that Miss
Leishmah will be legally entitled to the
title of Duchess of Croy, and in Ger
many, France, and Spain will be recog-
nized socially as the wife of the head Of
the historic house, various branches OF
which have upheld the feudal traditions
in past centuries at practically every
court In Europe.
Miss Leishman, whose whereabouts is
kept secret. is expected to arrive in Paris
next week to arrange the final details of
the trousseau.
The duke Is regarded as one of the
wealthiest members of the continental no
bility. His income from his westphalia
estate is estimated at 100000 year. He
also derives a considerable revenue from
investments made by his mother in
French and Belgian securities.

Here's Quick Relief
A Simple Remedy to Correct

Very few people go through life with

the good effect is soon lost. and the
more one takes of them the less effec-

physic or purgative is seldom nee
essary, and much better and more per-
manent results can be obtained by US
ing a scientific remedy like DR.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin. 1t does not hide
behind a high sounding name, but is
what II is represented to be, a mild lax

and yet IL is so compounded. and con-
tains such definite ingredients that 1t
will have equally good effect when
used by a person suffering from the
worst chronic constipation. In fact.
among the greatest endorsers of Syrup
Pepsin are elderly people who have
suffered for years and found nothing to
benefit them until they took Syrup
Pepsin.
1t is a fact that millions of families
have DIR. Caldwens Syrup Pepsin con-
stantly in the house, homes like those
of Mr.. H. w. Fenstermaker, Siegfried.

The Washington railway official i'm
dressed the traction representatives
present with the benefits to be derived
by allowing the employees of a public
service corporation a share Of the profits.
He pointed out how the system con-
duced to extreme caution on the part Of
every employe for the safety of the pas

unfailing politeness on the part of the
employees to the public.
Besides the profit sharing plan Mr..

VICTORY FOR NEELEY
SUITS ADMINISTRATION
Election of Democrat in West Virginia
Great One, Declares Repre-

Commenting on the victory of Mai. NJ.
NJ. Neeley, Democrat. who was elected
to fill the vacancy in the First West Vir-
ginia District created by the resigna-
ton OF John W Davis. Democrat, who
was appointed Solicitor General of the
United States, Representative Doremus
of Michigan chairman of the Democratic
Congressional campaign committee, yes
terday declared that Neeley's victory was
a great one and indicates the practical
extinction of protectionist sentiment in
the district.
The result is very gratifying to all
friends in the administration. being a
special Endorsement of the policies of
President Wilson," said Representative
Doremus, "and the Democratic party. In
1872 Mr.. Wilson received in this district
3,212 votes, Mr.. Taft, 12.7o2, and Mr..
Roosevelt. 1921. Mr.. Wilson'S percen-
tage of that vote was E.71. Mr.. Neeley,
Democrat, received 1890; Mr.. Hearne,
Republican. 1o.3s2, and Mr.. Laughlin,
Progressive, a721.
These latter figures are based on re-
turns from nearly all the districts. A few
have not been heard from. Mr.. Neeleys
percentage Is 4967. His percentage, there
fore, is greater than Mr.. Wilson'S.
The combined protectionist vote was
only slightly in excess of Mr.. Neely's,
which would seem to indicate the prac-
teal extinction Of protectionist senti-
ment in the district"

Honeymoon on Astor
Estate.

London. Oct. 1.-THE wedding Of Prince
Arthur Of Connaught to the Duchess OF
Fife at the Chapel Royal today was a
simple yet brilliant affair. The cere-
mony was marked with little royal pomp.
but was surrounded with great popular
rejoicing. The chapel is so small that
scarcely 200 guests were able to squeeze
themselves in, but 1t contained distin-
guished gathering OF gorgeously gowned
and jewsled society women, prominent
statesmen, and military officers.
The bride looked extremely girlish in
her white bridal gown decked with
orange blossoms and surmounted with a
sprig of white heather. Her veil hid her
only Jewels, a wonderful rope of pearls
and a diamond butterfly. Prince Arthur
wore the gold-laced uniform of his regi-
ment, the Scots Greys.
Groom I'm Uniform.
King George and the Duke of Con-
naught, the bridegroom's father. wore
field marshaPs uniforms. The Prince OF
Wales. who supported the groom. wore
the uniform OF a naval lieutenant
Great crowds, mostly women, lined the
route froZr the chapel to the brides home,
and cheer after cheer rang out as the
bridal party passed. The King and Queen
later motored to the house to give the
couple a send-off, which was distinctly-a
family affair.
The first part of the honeymoon win be
spent at a cottage lent by Waldorf Astor
at Sandwich, Kent, which adjoins the
famous golf links. The last thing the
bride did before leaving for her wedding
trip was to send message extending
her sympathy 70 the families OF the men
killed in the Welsh mine disaster.
Among the American women who at
tended the ceremony were Lady Decies,
nee Gould, Mrs. Lewis Harcourt, nee
Burns, and Mrs Page. wife OF the United

sEAMEN's BILL UP.
La Toilette Measure Probably VIII
Be Passed Next Week.

The seamen's involuntary servitude bill
will be taken UP by the Senate today and
will be threshed out until October .
when a vote will be taken. The chic
advocate OF the measure will be Senator
La Toilette, and its chief opponent Sen
ator Burton. Small doubt Of its ultimate
passage is expressed.
The bill makes a sailor in an American
port a free agent instead of binding him
to the ship on which he enters an Ameri-
can port, provides for an increase in the
efficiency of sailors, and makes it neces-
sary that a majority Of the crew be
able to understand the language in which
orders are given.
Aside from making ocean travel safer,
the bill is expected to equalize the cost
in the operation of American and foreign
ships by placing the wages Of employees
on an equality through free competition
in American ports.
