Of the "wirelessed" divorce decree
The rumor Of the engagement Of the
couple became rife following the re-
ceipt, by the Star-Bulletin of cable
news Of the granting Of the divorce a
few days ago.
The details Of the San Francisco
end of the romance are told In the
Chronicle Of April as follows:
Samuel Parker, Jr.. the oil lest son of
Col. Samuel Parker. Hawaiian capi-
taIist and sportsman, has made use Of
wireless to obtain a bride. Not in
the usual manner Of proposing by in
visible static currents. but by causing
a final decree OF divorce TO be sent
across seas from San Francisco to
Mrs. Marie X. King, whom he will
marry today at Honolulu >
Just a year ago yesterday Mrs. King
was granted an interlocutory divorce

Of the Junction OIL Refining Company,
at 216 Pine street, this city. After
she obtained this decree from Judge
William H. Waste Of Oakland, Mrs.
King returned to Hawaii, where she

Mrs. King is part Hawaiian. rich
In her own right and beautiful She
had not been back IN the islands long
when she met Parker. who, besides
being the son of his father, Is owner
of two Of the largest ranch properties
on the island of Hawaii. one OF them
adjoining that Of Mrs. Thelma Parker
Smart, a relative.
Parker wooed and won, but there
was still the final divorce decree to
be considered, and the possibilities Of
delay in having 1t transmitted across
the Pacific. This was source of an
ncyance to both Parker and his
fiancee until he thought Of scheme
to defeat time and tide.
Mrs. King yesterday wireIessed her
attorneys, McClanahan & Derby, to Sc
cure the final decree This important
document was signed by Judge vii.

equally as important news that she
was free to become Mrs. Parker, Jr.,
