GRAND JURY PROBES
CHILD'S ELOPEMENT
Case of Girl Who Twice
Fled with Young Huber
IS Presented.

Headquarters detectives, said 70 have
warrants. were looking last night for
Herbert Huber who "eloped" the sec
ond time with his seventeen-yedr-ol
wife. Horsinia. the daughter OF Adrian
II. Muller Of No. ga West End ave-
nue., after the young couple had re-
turned home from a runaway match
and had received paternal forgiveness
on condition that they would live apart
for a year.
The case was under investigation by
the grand jury yesterday. When that
body reported to Judge Rosasiy, IN
General Sessions. no dismissal Of the
case was filed. Under the penal code
the statutory offence Of abduction is
committed if girl under eighteen
years of age is taken away and mar
ried without the consent Of her par
ents.
Mrs. Jessie Muller Jones, who is only
fifteen, figured with her sister. Horsinia,
in a double elopement about six weeks
ago Rex Jones and Herbert Huber,
each twenty-five years old, and cousins,
married the Muller sisters in Elkton,
Md. The young people came back
home in a few days and were for
given. They agreed, however, to sepa-
rate and live in their respective homes
until they were all year older.
Miss Mary Manuel, their aunt. had
the girls under her care at the West
End avenue home. Horsinia slipped
out from under her watchful eye on
Saturday and disappeared. presumably
with her husband.
Fearing that Jessie might follow her
sisters example, the aunt kept the
front door locked. When a Tribune re
porter called at the house yesterday
Miss Manuel insisted upon talking
through the outer glass doors. A
young girl appeared in the hallway
while her aunt was talking.
"Auntie has the door locked she
said with a laugh. she won't let me
out. but l really wouldn't run away"
The aunt said that she had placed no
restraint on Horsinia, because when
she returned after the elopement she
had promised not to leave without her
consent or that OF her father. She in
timated that some of Huber's relatives
might he sheltering them.
81 have not seen him since he called
on me last week" said Mrs. Huber.
He made no mention of the second
elopement, but he did say that he
couldn't stand it to be separated from
his young wife much longer"
1t was learned that members OF the
Muller family had made inquiries as TO
where they could find Mrs. Olga Ev-
erard Williams, daughter Of the late
James Everard. the brewer, who is TO
marry Robert Hilliard, the actor, as
soon as her interlocutory decree of
divorce is made final Mrs. Williams
was said TO be a close friend Of the
Hubers, and it was assumed that she
might know where the young people
were.
Mrs. Williams once eloped with her
brothers chauffeur, William Williams.
She and her mother lived for some time
on the Everard estate, near Stamford,
after she and her husband separated.
II was said at The Lambs last night
that Mr.. billiard was in Chicago.

Henry Lane Wilson Thinks
Recognition the Only
Logical Course.
TELLS THREE WAYS
OF SOLVING PROBLEM
Neither Armed Intervention Nor
New Republic Would Settle
Situation, He Says.

Henry Lane Wilson. former United
States Ambassador. 10 Mexico. arrived in
New York yesterday At the Waldorf
Astoria he talked freely about the MeXi-
can situation. He said that the attitude
which he he'd held all along was jusu-
fed and that the United states, In hold
ing aloof, had practically interviewed and
given support TO the rebel cause.
II do not wish 10 cmbarrass the ad-
ministration by expressing my views.
said Wilson. but the damage brought
upon our citizens in Mexico by the war
is so deplorable that any light which
can be thrown on conditions is war
ranted.
There are three courses open 10 this
government.
"First-The recognition Of the provi-
sional government under General Huerta.
with the restoration OF the national
credit and the reorganization OF the
army.
"Second-Armed intervention. which Is
repugnant TO most OF the American peo-
pie. 1t would mean that the United
States must dispatch at least 100000
soldiers TO Mexico. for. while 10000 men
could take Mexico city. the policing Of
the country would require the number
mentioned.
"Third- OF a now repub-
lie in Northern Mexico. extending as far
south as the twenty-siXth parallel ana
including Lower California. This would
mean that we would have to guarantee
the independence Of the new nation.
encouragement of the rebels Is futlIe'
The strength at Huerta's command can
not he overthrown. Whether his army
succeeds I'm checking them at Torrcon is
not Of great significance, for eventually
he will gain control Of the entire coun-
FRY. At present the lluerta administra-
ton is receiving 100000 a month from
the custom houses. 1t has doubled the
tax on oil and more oil is being shlpped
from The country than ever before In It's
history. 1t also has doubled the rubber
tax The governments total revenue IS
about S11 100000 a month
AS all Of this money is going for
military purposes. intervention Is the
only action TO loosen Huerta's hold on
the government.
AS to Huerta's intemperance, l can
say that when my duties as ambassador
took me into his presence / never saw
him under the influence OF liquor. When
Nadero was in power all sorts Of rumors
rejecting on his private life were cur
rent. but Mexico city Is such hotbed
of gossip and scandal that ] never at
