DEATH OF MARQUIS
REMOVES OBST|CLE,
ROMANCE OF HEIR
"tl..

Actress.
SUIT IN COURTS
Earl's Father Could't Buy
Off Girl for $4,000 and
Now He's Dead.

London, England.-Behind the &C.
ton entered in the High Court here
as Moss VS.. Compton, action for
breach of promise to marry" is a
romantic story which may throw
some light on the sudden death an
nounced today from Acquil, Italy, of
the Marquis of Northampton, head of
one of the highest, noblest and veal
thiest families in England.
The defendant in the action. which
is down for hearing shortly before
the special jury, Is the Earl OF Comp
ton, eldest son and heir Of the dead
Marquis. He is being sued for
breach of promise to marry he is
said to have made to the fascinating
and charming musical comedy ac-
tress, Violet Moss. The young Earl,
who, of course, succeeds to the fam
| lily title and estates, was born in
1885, and was educated at Eton and
Balliol Colleges, Oxford. He joined
the army in 1908, and is at present
a lieutenant in the Royal Horse
Guards.
Some months ago the Earl was
introduced to Miss Moss, pretty
girl, twenty years of age.
Fathers Order Defed.
1T was a case of love at first sight
on both sides and for time the
young lovers kept their secret close
| ly. The thunderbolt fell when the
Earl told his father of his love. The
Marquis finally ordered the Earl new
er to see the girl again. But the
Earl refused to give up his sweet
heart and she refused to relinquish
her lordly lover. Then from the
Marquis came the final stern de-
mand: GIVE up the girl or be dis
inherited"
+ Eventually III Ter Sge5sasta arr mud
heavy parental pressure, though
vowing his love, the Earl reluctantly
broke away.
Then came the unexpected sequel.
Hoping, it is stated, to force the
hand of the Marquis, the discarded
actress started proceedings against
the Earl for breach of promise. The
Marquis offered a huge settlement,
but the girl wanted her lover and
refused to listen.
$4,000 Offered Girl.
AS the legal aspect of the case pro-
gressed the Marquis took an unpre-
cedented step. He ordered his law
yers to pay into court the astound-
ing sum of $4,000. Even then the
girl would not settle and the case
went on.
There are those who believe that
as all opposition to the marriage has
been so dramatically removed, the
Earl will carry out Ills promise and
marry the girl he loves. The late Mar
quis only left London last Friday fol-
lowing breakdown, which affected
his heart.

STEPHENSON HAS

Washington, d. C.-Senator Issac
Stephenson of Wisconsin, the Oldest
member of the upper house in point
of age, entered upon his S5th year
today, but is as vigorous as the aver
age man of fifty. For many years
Senator Stephenson has been an in
fluential figure in the financial af-
fairs of his state and nation. OF late
years he has become power in ma
tional politics.
Senator Stephenson is a splendid

American. His boyhood was spent in
poverty. Today he is the richest man
in Wisconsin, being worth at least

Mr.. Stephenson was born on June
is, 1929, near the city of Frederic
ton, N b. He went to Wisconsin with
his family when he was only sixteen
years old and was one of the first to
plough the soil. AT that time his par
ents were so poor that the children
had to go barefooted, even in the
winter. When only seventeen the fu-
ture senator broke 130 acres of land
near GAINESVILLE and helped put in 400
acres of wheat. In the winter he went
up into the lumber regions and work
ed hard and faithfully, hauling logs
with a siX-oX team. In 1850 he be-
gan to do business on his own ac-
count. During the summer he sailed
| vessels ON the lakes and during the
winter he continued to work in the
| lumber camps.
| Being a good Judge of the value
of timber, he was able to locate for
himself and associates hundreds of
thousands of acres in northern Wis
| consin and Michigan, which later
made them all millionaires. He estab-
lished mills, factories and banks in
| his home town of Menominee. Else
where his financial, manufacturing
and commercial investments reached

vast lumber and timber interests he
ecquired thousands of acres of pine

Michigan he became the owner OF
great tracts of farm lands, cut-ove1

turning the whole northern country
to farming and dairying. Near Keno

Washington, ID. C.-The state rate

a railroad failed to sustain its claim
the state rates were confiscatory, the
supreme court specificly preserved
the right of the road to begin new

This was true as to two roads in
