NJ 'ADOO GIVES MEDAL
TO HERO IN ROMANCE
Secretary, Himself a Victim of
Cupid's Darts, Honors Cour-
ace That Won a Bride.

Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo,
himself victim of Cupid's darts, today
awarded a silver medal Of honor to a
happy bridegroom, who romantlCally
married the girl he saved from drown
ing.
In making announcement of awards
OF medals ii is the custom at the Treas
ury Department to issue A brief state
ment, giving the bare facts of the res
cue But not so in this case.
Secretary of the Treasury MCAdoo
has awarded a silver medal of honor
to Edward B. Ray, of 1872 Tenth ave
nue. Brooklyn, n. Y, in recognition
of his gallant conduct in saving Miss
Josephine Green from drowning in Long
Island sound, New York. August l.,
1902" said the eXplanat ton made by
Secretary McAdoo. Then il added:
Since the date of the rescue MI
Ray and Miss Green have been married
10 each other"
Secretary McAdoo. his heart attuned
to the music of romance, could not re-
sist the application for the medal when
advised of the happy outcome of the
rescue. So he issued the order and
VIXEN one of the messengers came in to
get the papers authorizing the award
he found the Secretary at his desk
ding march and gazing out the west
window of his office. which looks out OIL
the White House grounds, where
another romantic wedding soon will be
staged.
In giving the details of the rescue
which won Ray a bride and medal OF
honor, ii is explained that while in
bathing. Miss Green, after swimming
some distance out from the shore, be-
came exhausted by the strong under
tow and was unable 20 get back Ray,
who had yentured farther out into the
sound, saw Miss Green throw up her
hands and sink. Although exhausted
himself, he succeeded in reaching her,
and after a struggle brought her safe
ly to shore.
But he might never have been given
medal for that. Lots of men save
girls from drowning without receiving
silver medals Of honor from the Sec
retary of the Treasury But when ro-
nance and daring were so intermingled
as in the present case. Secretary Nc
Adoo was quick to respond.
