Liberty and Miss holland had been
tentatively engaged for several months.

month ago. Liberty was afflicted with
a stroke OF ambition. He wanted to
enter business independently. He
swung between a desire TO open a
garage here or become an automobile
agent in his home. St Johnsbury. But
he was going to do one Of the two
things. Therefore-marriage
Knew IneersoIls Would Object.
He and the young woman realized
that Mr.. and Mrs. Ingersoll would OBJ
iect to the union on at least one ground
that Miss Noland's musical career
would be disastrously sideswlped So
il was decided that they would nave
one of the quietest Of all quiet we'd
dings. and. IL possible. have that wed
ding in camera, so to speak, in New
Jersey.
They went to Hoboken on the morn
ing of May - and told the marriage
license clerk that they'd like to look
at some Of his incest licenses. Ihey
got a nobby little one and filled 1t out.
Fine" observed the clerk, on read

ooh. goodness, does that have TO be
done over here" asked Miss Noiano'
petulantly.

"Then this is a perfectly hoTid old
state" she replied, and she and LID
ertv wandered away. They came over
here and asked for license. They
filed out the application and passed 1t
through a window. One OF the clerks
questioned Miss hollands age. she re-
peated that she was eighteen. ana

That didn't convince the clerk and
he sent for Chief Clerk Scully. Mr.
Scully was dubious. but he granted the
license. at the time exclaiming, II was
recalled over there yesterday: III L
find YOU haven't told the truth III
chase you 20 the ends Of the earth"
From the license bureau they jour
neyed uptown, gathered few friends
and started off 10 be married. The
clergyman's return affirming the cere-
mony was not in the Marriage License
Bureau yesterday.
IngsrsoIls Take Niece Home.
That brings all the principals down
10 the point OF the arrival OF the Inger-
soils In town yesterday. They sent for
Liberty and the young woman. ii is
said. and ordered them 10 report to the
Apthorp. What was said has not de-
veloped. but late yesterday afternoon.
when Mr.. and Ms. Ingersoll motored
back to oyster Bay. their niece was
with them. And Liberty was not with
them.
The Young woman would not say
anything about it yesterday afternoon
in the brief period she was at the
Misses Bissells house before she went
20 oyster Bay. Liberty was reached
last night and no refused to talk.
When it was shown TO him that the
application for the license had been
seen he turned the reporter off with:
Il don't know how this thing got
out, but I'll tell you just this We
were married. Now go and get the
other facts yourself"
The chauffeur left the employ Of the
Ingersolls last Monday, his intention
being TO 60 on n honeymoon to St.
Johnsbury the latter part OF this week.

move OF Mr.. and Mrs. lngersoll in TAX
