Papa Huber Wants to Jail Youth Who
Again Runs Away with
Girl Wife.

New York. March 19.-DeteCtives were
searching today in Boston for rwenty-one-
year-oId Herbert Huber, who eloped the
second time with his wife, Mrs. Hersina
Muller Huber. aged seventeen.
II Papa Adrian II. Murer has his
way Herbert will he arrested to face a
possible ten-year Jail term on an abduc-
tiOn charge.
While detectives were searching for the
eiOpers Mrs. Huber, mother OF the youth,
today planned in her apartment at COS
West l3Ith street to hire counsel to de-
fend her son.
Muller, who is a rich lumberman, told
the grand jury the girl was still under
the legal age of eighteen and that he
had not given his consent to her mar
riage. Muller appeared eager to prose-
cute young Huber, though he took no
action at all against Rex Jones, Huber s
cousin, who at the time of the first
elopement made a foursome of it and
married Muller's ffteen-year-old daugh-
ter Jessie.
But that was explained by friends of
the family. They said Rex Jones had
kept his promise to live apart from his
young wife for q year, while Huber had
not.
Young Jones is to be permitted to see
Jessie twice a week under proper chape-
rOnage. If at the end of the year he
and she still love each other. the mar
riage will be permitted to stand.

tiers were mailed to students dealing with partlc-
ular difficulties encountered in the progress of
their studies. The international Correspondence
Schools are faithfully, earnestly and persistently
trying to convey instruction and create efficiency
by every possible method, and that they are sue
ceeding is attested by the multitudes of students
who have risen to position of power, afluence,
and honor as the result Of their training.
One feature, not always understood by the
public, is the energetic manner in which the Cor
respondence Schools enroll their Students Hun
dreds of agents or representatives go into the
homes, mills, factories, and shops to persuade
men that they can be benefited by course of
instruction. These agents create ambition and
stimulate desire for education. They tell men,
and they prove their point by innumerable exam
pies, that they can make themselves more efficient
in their present occupation or qualify themselves
for other and more congenial and more remuner
ative occupations, by course Of study at home
in their spare time. The cost Of establishing
these agencies has been very great but the re-
suits have amply justified the investment from
every stand point. Up to the present the Interna-
tional Correspondence Schools have spent ST.
1899 in agency establishment More than
one million dollars of capital now in the treasury
Of the company will be used to develop still
further the facilities for offering education to the
people. Hitherto the largest part of the work of
the |. c. S. has been in the cities and towns, but
the rural districts Of America are to be opened
Immediately by establishing automobile and
motorcycle routes.
1t will be seen at glance that the $780,
600 capitalization of the International Textbook
Company, which operates the International Cor
respondence Schools, is really modest when the
cost of creating the institution, carrying on the
business, and widening the facilities for educa-
ton, are considered. If the institution had not
been upon sound financial basis, under careful
and expert business management, and furnishing
bona 6de education and technical training, it
would have broken down long ago. Twenty-Five
years of overwhelming business, until the Schools
now have 5000 persons in their employment,
are sufficient evidence of the validity and perma-
nence of the institution. Since their foundation
the Schools have done gross business amount
ing to $85,753, l40 and have distributed cash

The International Correspondence Schools
had their birth in humanitarian impulse. The
first course of instruction was in coal mining, de-
signed to safeguard the lives of miners by edu-
eating mine-foremen and superintendent. That
course was quickly followed by others until now
there are 275 courses Of study.
During the past twenty-five years no fewer
than ,65l ,765 students have been enrolled in
the United States and Canada, and enrollments
are now being made at the rate of 100000
year.
The preparation of the textbooks written by
the Schools for the use of students, has cost more
than $2,0000O0 These texts are prepared
solely for the work of instruction by correspond
ence, and form the most up-to-date library of
their kind in the world. Their value is attested
by the fact that they have been purchased and
are being used for classroom work or for
reference purposes in l67 universities. colleges,
Institutes of technology, and other well-known
institutions Of learning. The University of Cali
fornia has just discarded its textbooks dealing
with the strength of materials. 1t has had l.
c. S. instruction papers on that subject bound
into volumes and has adopted them for the use
of its Students The United States Navy Depart
ment is using 5000 textbooks in the new naval
shpboard schools, and this is about one-hfth of
what will be required when these schools are in
full operation.
The international Correspondence Schools
are now the greatest teaching institutions in the
world. They have become powerful factor in
enhancing industrial efficiency. They have In
creased the earning power of hundreds of thou
sands of men and women, and more than all, they
have become great social and moral influence
by creating ambition, stimulating hope, and
preaching sef-reliance to their student body.
In Scranton, the International Correspond
ence Schools transact their business in build
ings valued at $l,I59,2SO.29, while their copy
rights and plates are conservatively estimated as
worth $1,864,404 after liberal annual allow
ance has been made for depreciation.
Every effort is being made to keep the stu
dents at their studies in order that they may re-
ceive the full benefit Of their courses. During
the year 1913 no fewer than 805 ,079 individual
