FOUR COUPLES WE'D TOGETHER

ElktOn

A quadruple romance, which began
in Philadelphia several years ago, cul-
minated yesterday in the marriage of
four young Quaker City girls to four
pc tty officers of Uncle Sans Navy.
rhe ceremonies were performed at
Elkton, Md, by the Rev. John Nc
Elmoyle, pastor of the Presbyte rian
Church. The parties were Conrad
Motz, 26, of Los Angeles, quarter
master on the battleship Kentucky,
and Miss Anna Kelly. 10; Frederick
Schoerner, q, of Cincinnati, Ohio,
quartermaster on the battleship Ala
bama, and Miss May Oliver, l9; E :
nest G. Miller, 20, of Boston, quar-
termaster on the Kearsarge, and Miss

While the young men were sta
toned at the philadelphia navy yard
they fell in love with the four girls.
They agreed to be married together.
A short sine afterwsrd young Motz
was ordered to Samoa and the we'd
dings were postponed. The Others
soon followed to distant posts and

BIG TROLLY SCHEME.
A Proposed System for The Eastern
Shore.

Hugh Phillips, formerly of Sails
bury, Nd, now of Washington, was
at the State House yesterday and ad-
vocated legislation to aid in the con-
struction OF system of electric lines
through the Eastern Shore counties.
His proposition calls for g separate
referendum in Dorchester, WicomIco,
Worcester and Somerset counties on q
question whether ach of these coun-
ties shall subscribe to $500, 900 of the
capital stock of the company, which
will construct the road, the money
not to be paid until the road shall
have been built and in running orde r.
1t is proposed to connect Dorches-
ter county with Fair Haven, this
county, by ferry. Fair Haven is TO
be connected with the Chesapeake
Beach road. Direct connecti ln will
thus be established between Washing
ton and the Eastern Shore. The line
will, as projected, pass through Dor
chester county to Cambridge, thence
to Sharptown, thence TO Salisbury, to
Princess Aune, to Pocomoke City, to
Stockton.

HUFF MAY GET ONLY REPRIMAND.
Naval Officers Believe That He Won't
Suffer in Rank.

Secretary Daniels will remit that
/ part of the sentence Of Lient. Com.
mander Chas. 2. Huff which calls for
the loss of five numbers in rank and
will let him off with only reprimand
if the views of naval officers in
Washington are accepted.
Lieutenant Commander Huff was
sentenced to receive a reprimand and
be reduced FIVE numbers in rank
= a result of his striking j. Philip
Kiesecker, an employee of the New
port News Shipbuilding and Drydock
Company. Officers in Washington
consider that in view of the circum-
stances in the case and the admitted
provocation the sentence was alto
gether to severe. They point out that
commanders who have been found
guilty of running their vessels
aground with resultant expense and
the crippIing Of great bsttleship
for months have not received senten-
ces so severe as that meted out tc
Huff.
Officers familiar with the charac-
ter Of the work Commander Huff was
called upon to do as inspector of ord
nance material for the new battle
ship Texas 90 not credit the asser-
tions made by his friends that his
encounter with Kiesecker was the re-
suit of the company trying to "fix
him for his rigid inspections of its
work.
They point to the fact that aeither
Hrff nor his counsel made any serious
effort t get these allegations in evil
dence at the courtmartial as proof
that the defence realized it could not
make out case On that basis. No
mention of Huff's attitude toward
the shipbuilding company was made
beyond the statement by Huff's
counsel that Huff's loyalty to the
Government was costinhg the company
$4,000 day and this fact as used as
the basis of an argument that Huff
was the kind of man wanted in the
navy.
Officers in Washington familiar
with the Huff case express the tbelief
that the encounter between him and
Kiesecker was simply due to the lat
ter's attentions TO Mrs. Huf. Upon
the return to Washington it is expect
ed that steps will be taken to inves-
tigste the Huff case further.

IN MEMORIAM.

CANPBELL.--In sad, but loving
remembrance of our beloved dsugh-
ter and sister, ELIZA GATHER
INE CAMPBELL, who departed
this life March %, 1914.
We watched her breathing through
the night,
Her beathing soft and low;
As in her breast the WORRY of life
Kept hesving to and fro.
But when the morn came dim and sad,
And chilled with early dew,
Her eyelids were forever closed
In death, we knew.
Often from our heart comes a cry,
why, why, did dear sister die7"
Then comes the answer 20 solemn
and deep
Your sister is only asleep"
Out in the lonely graveyard,
Down in the deep cold ground
There they laid our darling sister
Only this afternoon.
Oh, darling sister, can it be,
Thy loving face no more we see;
Those large blue eyes, now closed in
death
We think of thee with our last breath.
BY HER DEAR MOTHER, SISTERS
AND BROTHERS.
SIMMS-In cad but loving remem-
brance Of our dear mother CARO-
LINE V. SIMMS who departed this
life FIVE years ago today, March 25th,
1914.
The depth of our SORROW we cannot tell /;
The loss of our mother we loved so
WE'LL
And while she lies in peaceful sleep
Her memory we shall keep.
But in our saddest moments,
One happy thought holds sway,
We will meet again, Mother
And be happy some sweet day.
BY HER LOVING HUSBAND AND
CHILDREN.

1t was thought in many quarters to-
day that if the government would con
sent to give the counties of Ulster per-
petual option ora the question of
home rule, instead of compelling them
to come under the Dublin parliament
at the end Of six years, way out of
the present difficulty would be open
ed The nationalists always have con-
tended that the Ulster men would be
glad to join the home rule scheme
once it had been demonstrated that
their fears of unfair treatment was
unfounded.

part in the negotiations.
liberalism will not finch one inen
before the arrogant and insolent
plague of Toryism," was the message
conveyed today by Chancellor Lloyd
George to a meeting of liberals at
Huddersheld. The chancellor was
talking about Ulster, and the attitude
of the unionists. He said:
The country is confronted with the
gravest issue in the history of demo-
cratic government, since the days OF
the Stuarts. Representative govern
ment in the land is at stake. am
here on behalf of the government, to
say we mean to confront this defiance
of popular liberties with resolute and
unwaYering determination, whatever
the hazard. We are not fighting
about Ulster or about home rule. We
are fighting for all that is essential to
tie civil liberty Of this land"
An official communication issued
this afternoon said:
The recent movements of troops in
Ulster are purely precautionary with
the object Of giving adequate protec-
ton to dCpost of arms and ammuni-
ton and other government property
against possible risks"
