YOUNG MAN MARR|ES
HIS RELIGIOUS TUTOR
TiIIetson B. PIatt Claims Miss
White, Christian Science
Practitioner, as Bride.

The romance of twenty y-five-year-ol
Tilletson Beach Platt and his tutor.
Miss Ada Gertrude White. a Christian
Science practitioner, twenty years his
senior, is being discussed by friends OF
the couple here today with the an
nouncement of their marriage.
Young Plat and Miss White were
married in Brookline, Mass, Saturday
afternoon, according to dispatches from
that place. The bridegroom is a son of
Lester Beach Platt, of this city. and
lived with his parents at 300 Nineteenth
street northwest. His father is presi-
dent of the Stone Straw Company. Of
Baltimore. Miss White. who Is active
in Christian Science circles, made her
home at the Oakland apartments. in
Columbia road. sr
While relatives of the young man and
friends of the bride deny the marriage
was the result Of an elopement, they
expressed surprise at the announcement
Of the ceremony today.
Both Platt and Miss White left this
city Friday. They had known each
other for more than a year, the young
bridegroom seeming deeply interested in
the Christian Science teacher from the
moment of their first meeting. The
couple were seen frequently together,
but everyone who knew them regarded
them as merely platonic friends" and
the announcement of their marriage
naturally caused a surprise In circles
where they are known here.

Headquarters Fight-This
City's Chances Good.

Although the selection of a city for
permanent headquarters of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Flremen
and Enginemen was discussed all
morning at the convention. the deci-
sion which was expected was not
reached and the delegates are still
debating the matter this afternoon.
The situation has been made some
what more complicated by the en-
trance OF st. Louis into the competi-
tion. that city having made an espe-
cially attractive offer. Cleveland Is
also pulling hard for the headauar-
ters. and it is probab the Chicago
delegation will enter a bid this aft
ernoon.
In spite Of this. however, II is be-
lieved the real fight still lies between
washington and Peoria. The other
cities may complicate the. affair,
however, so there NAV be no decision
at this convention. but the temporary

Direct Seeding Gives Good Results

Pine seed sown directly In the
spots where the trees are to grow
is yielding good results in young
trees on the Tahoe national forest
In Western California.
This is in marked contrast to
the usual results in such cases, be-
cause squirrels, mice, and birds will
eat the seeds where they are plan
ted without protection, and even
when these enemies allow the seed
to terminate, tn drying out. of the
soil In drouth periods is usually
too much for the tiny seedlings dur
ing their first season.
Because of these vicissftudes for
esters usually find it advantageous
to grow the seedlings in nursery
beds, where seeds and plants can
be protected by wire screens and
shade frames, and where water can
be applied when needed. Usually,
too, the seedlings are transplanted
once or twice before they are set
out In their final situation, the
transplanting process serving to de-
velop stocky plants with compact
sturdy roots. While the nursery
bed and transplant process, invol-
yes more work, 1t Is said to be
generally cheaper in proportion to
results accomplished, particularly
when the cost of seed is taken In
to consideration.

WRITES OF MISSING YACHT
c. G. Smith Says Winneenah Was
Formerly the G. +. Holland.

In a letter from Brooklyn, N. Y.
C. c. Smith, 2759 Bedford avenue,
shed some light on the former his
tory of the yacht Winneenah, which
was picked up, abandoned at sea-.
by the Merchants and Miners steam
ship Somerset, off Frying Pan
Shoals, and afterward lost by the
parting of hawser.
''This boat was formerly owned
by me-" writes Mr.. Smith. She
was called originally the c. F. Hol-
land, and was purchased by me in
1910 from the estate of the late
Judge c. F. Holland, of Salisbury,
Md. AS a member of the Baltimore
Yacht Club, she was enrolled in
the yacht register of the Club un-
der the name of c. r. Holland. In
the spring of 1912 l brought the
boat with me to New York, chang
ing her name to Winneenah.
six weeks ago l sold the boat
to Capt G. D. Groom. of Whining
ton, N c.. who, with H. B. Gift
fen, of Harbor Haven, LII. started
for Wilmington about three weeks
ago. They may have been accom-
panied by an engineer. The boat
was stanch and able. l cannot ac-
count for her apparent abandon
ment unless due to breakdown in
machinery or ravages of storm
