The minister met them at the door
with a welcoming smile and hand
shake, and led them forward. AS the
music hushed for the words of the GER
emory, he leaned forward to the young
man and whispered:
Il neglected to ask you her name,
Tryon."
ooh, yes" The young nan paused
in his dilemma and looked for an in
slant at the sweet face Of the girl be-
side him. But he could not let his
friend see that he did not know the
name of his w~ife-to-be, and with quick
thought he answered, Mary
The ceremony proceeded, and the
minister's voice sounded out solmenly
in the empty church: "Do you, Tryon,
take this woman whom you hold by
the hand to be your lawful welded
wife?"
The young mans fingers held the
timid hand of the oma firmly as he
answered, ." do"

came the next question, and h girl
looked up with clear eye and said, II

Then the minister's wife, who knew
and priced Tryon Dunham's friendship,
said to herself: Its all right. She
loves him"
When the solemn words were
spoken hat bound them together
through life, and they had thanked
their kind friends and were once more
out in the carriage, Tryon said:
do you know you haven't told me
your real name yet?"
She laughed happily rs the carriage
started on It's way, and answered,
why it is Mary"

Danies and Bryan over the question were

The President discussed the situa-

considered measures for protecting the
neutrality of the canal.
Officials described as absurd reports
that Col. Goethals' request would be
denied. They declared action was being
delayed only pending a fuller discussion
of the needs of the situation. There

officials as to just what sort of a patrol

REQUEST FOR TESTIMONY
PRESSED BY Mr.. HOBS0N
House Committee Continues Inquiry,
Receiving Statements of Command
er Stirling Regarding Submarines.

Col Roosevelt loomed up today as
possible witness before the House naval
committee in its discussion of the pre-
parcdness of national defenses. At to-
days session Representative Hobson
pressed Chairman Padgett to call the
former President, and after some discus
sion the question was left to be decided
in an executive session of the committee.
why invite him." demanded Repre-
sentative Butler.
Hes been assistant secretary of the
navy and President, a commander-in-
chief. and has been in Il position to
know the facts about national defense"
returned Mr. Hobson. who protested
that his suggestion Was being treated
''";tvaIerly.''
Representative Buchanan remark ed
that due to the fact that Mr.. Roose-
Welt seldom expresses himself through
the newspapers and magazines, it
might be well to get hold of him and
drag something out of him on the sub
ject.
Committee Hears Naval Officer.
With that, the committee turned to
the examination of Commander Stir
ing, who testified there were eighteen
submarines in the Atlantic fleet.
Commander Stirling said that of the
eighteen submarines, one IL out of COM
mission and not attached to the Allan
tic fleet. There are five In the Canal
Zone, whose condition is good. They
have an old sailing ship In Panama as
a tender to the submarines, he said,
and this tender is inadequate and un-
suitable, and a tug has been sent down
from Charleston to tow it around.
The torpedoes used in the first divis-
ion are of an old type and unsuitable,
but the bureau Of ordnance has a new
type that will fit into the tubes per-
fectly.
The smaller type of submarines, he
said. go 200 miles out to sea and 200
miles back.
Are the smaller type effective as
the larger submarines for coast de-
fense?' he was asked.
Il don't believe in coast defense. If
a hostile fleet came near the American
coast some submarines or some tor
pedo boats probably would be able to
use them and drive the fleet further
away, but 1 do not see why a feet
should come to our coast. A fleet will

not lombard the cities even II the SUBJ

replied. IF We believe the accounts

Mr.. Hobson Makes Disclosure.

The naval officer was inclined to be
facetious over Representative Hobson'
vision of oncoming war. and the Ala
bama representative said:
In May and for some months of last
year, 1913" said Mr.. Hobson, "our gun
ners at Corregidor Island stood at
their guns night and day. with plans
for a two-year siege. The harbors
were mined. Troops from all over the
islands were brought into CorreEldor,
and everything prepared for a siege.

the government from Manila. 1t didn't

He said tenders were important.
That the United States government
expected hostile action from Japan in
May. 1913, and that preparations for a
two-year siege were made at Corrigi-
dor Island, in the Philippines. was
stated by Representative Hobson in the
course of the hearing before the naval
affairs committee of the House yester-
day.

mendably and there was little af-

EXPECT TO CATCH
TRAIN ROBBEBS
ARE THEY IN BIRMINGHAM?
Amount Stolen Was Not
Less Than $500, 900.

Birmingham, Ala, Feb. 90
Officers working on the case ex-
pect to capture within a few
hours the train robbers who last
night held up a fast train on the
Queen and Crescent and robbed
the mail car of a large sum. 1t
is believed the men are in Bir-
mingham and that they came
directly from the scene of the
robbery to this city. It is known
that they left the terminal station
here last night at Z o'clock in a
taxicab and that two men got
out of the automobile near Truss
vile, Ala, not far from the place
where the robbery was later COM
mitted.
While the amount of money Sc
cured will not be known until
formal report is made to the
Treasury Department, one of the
clerks to-day in an unguarded
moment let slip the belief that
the loss will not be less than
100000.
1t is believed the bandits are
members of a gang which has
made Birmingham headquarters
for the past two years and COM
mitted robberies in the South
during that time in which the
losses will aggregate nearly halt
a million dollars. .
Rewards of $1,000 for each of
the three men known to be i'm
plicated in the robbery have been
offered by the postal authorities.
