To effect n reconciliation % the now

proposition of such a combination Is

At the outset and to relieve the

that Mr. Hughes, now an associate

II is not known whether he would

the sufficient reason that the plan IS

NEW YORK, Nov. 11,--Mrs. Mary
Caruan. a uubltc school teacher, TWEEN
ty-eight years old, of Brooklyn, ap-
piled today to Supreme Court Justice
Maddox for an order TO compel Deputy
City Clerk sculley to issue marriage
license permitting her to wed William
Weisheimer.
Mrs. Gargan and Weisheimer pre-
scented themselves before City clerk
ScuIIv on October 18th. last, and asked
for a marriage license with the re
suit that Scully. after questioning the
pair. learned that Mrs. Gargan had a
husband living from whom she had
not been divorced. Scully refused 10
grant the license.
The husband in question is John =
Gargan, who is now serving an IN
determinate term in Sing Sing for from
twenty years to life imprisonment Tor
having killed Mrs. Gargans father
Martin Hynes, in May, 1910.
There was an alteration between
Gargan and his father-in- law. and Gar
gan's brother. Harry, during which tbs
two latter were shot and killed.
An Indictment for murder was found
against John C. Gargan, and jury
before whom he was tried returned
a verdict of murder in the second de
gree, thereby saving him from the
electric chair.
In court today Frank L, Tyson. at
torney for Mrs. Gargan, contended that
inasmuch as Gargan is now n prisoner
in Sing Sing, he Ia civilly dead in tht
eve of the law and consequently Mrs
Gargan is free 10 marry again. tha'
under the penal law Gargan's sentence
to prison acted automatically AS di-
vorce.
Justice Maddox took the papers IN
the case and reserved his decision.

He's Real Diplomat.
Having sized up Bryan satisfactorily
from the personal standpoint, the
next concern of the department ex-
perts was to see how he would act as
diplomat. 1t was hard to believe
that he would handle delicate interna-
tional affairs with the finesse usually
associated with more aristocratic
temperaments than his. But Bryan
set all fears at rest on this point
The first situation confronting him
was the settlement of the Cuban am
in American experts. He grasped an
intricate situation so quickly that it
surprised the subordinates. Then he
disposed of the matter thoroughly and
in manner to satisfy the most criti-
cal of diplomats.
Shortly afterwards Bryan again
showed his skill as a diplomat. He
issued the statement warning the tenn
peramental Latins not to reyolute ex-
cept for good reasons, and not for
reasons of personal. ambition. This
was followed by the famous Chinese
loan statement, whose secondary
meaning was that dollar diplomacy
will be Withdrawn from Central and
South America. Except for the warn
ing coming first, the announcement
of the reversal of the dollar diplo-
macy policy could reasonably have
been expected to be followed by revo-
lutions in Latin America.
Lodge Is Pleased.

meticulous critic as the precise Sen
ator Henry Cabot Lodge, q deep stu
dent of foreign affairs, after observ-
ling Bryan's methods for two weeks,
has predicted as much; and Lodge has
disapproved of every, secretary of

Broadened by travel, Mr.. Bryan
has peculiarly fitted himself for his
present. position by personal study of
foreign affairs. He is an enthusiastic
trade sexpansioflist along democratic
lines, and the recent promise in the
Chinese pronunciamento of legislation
giving our exporters adequate banking
facilities abroad is probably the be-
ginning of our most far sighted ~for-
eign policy of modern times.
Politicians Bother Him.
Contrary to expectations, the poll
ticians and office seekers bother Bry-
an, who grudges the time taken from
his regular work. There are several
doors to Bryan's private office, and
the other day an office hunter asked
which one would take him out.
All of the doors to this office lead
outward said Bryan. There is only
one door in, and that one is guarded"
But as sphinx Bryan continues to
be the wonder of the administration.
He was genuinely touched the other
day. by the plight of the reporters. 1t
was after the Latin American state
ment was issued-one of the most
cryptic utterances that ever came
from the White House. A CORES
pondent told Bryan that unless Off
cially enlightened by him, the report
ers would proceed to do their own
reading between the lines.
You may read between the lines,
or above them or under them,' said
Bryan. You are at liberty to do as
you choose" Then, thinking to tenn
