bride in newspaper.
That's Louis and he's married
again" she exclaimed.
Alfred, believed to be Louis Hard
ing, the escaped convict, was arrest
ed as a bigamist. His pretty bride
stood firmly by him until Mrs. Hard
ing took the witness stand.
That's my husband, and he es-
capped from the prison at Green
wood said Mrs. Harding, pointing to
the accused Georgia banker. divers
witnesses who had known him for
several years testified that he was
not Harding, but the wife's testimony
outweighed theirs.
Alfred Oliver was sent to the state
penitentiary for four years for big
amy. His wife, believing herself
married to Harding, who already had
a wife, was granted absolute divorce.
Police sent Alfred divers picture
broadcast and one fell into the hands
of the sheriff at Greenwood, Miss.
He wired to the governor of Georgia
that Harding was wanted in Missis-
sippi to serve out 10-year term I'M
der the name Of Harding.
So when Alfred divers bigamy
term was ended, sheriff of Missis-
sippi met him at the door of the
Georgia penitentiary.
Oliver continued his fight for lib
erty, insisting that it was his twin
brother they wanted, but he was
placed in the penitentiary and even
identified by residents of Greenwood
as Harding.
Pm not him, and I'll prove it to
you some day." he told his jailers.
The other day Alfred Oliver went
before the court to make final, de-
termined fight to prove that he was
serving sentence for his twin brother;
that he served four years in Georgia
as bigamist because of the mistaken
identity and lost a wife and fortune,
also.

FIGHT OVER MOTHER LEADS
FAMILY AFFAIR INTO COURT
Mrs. w. A. Tilden, wife of the presi-
dent of the Fort Dearborn National
Bank, will appear in Judge Boyer's
court in Evanston Wednesday and
stand trial on charge of disorderly
conduct.
The arrest is the result of a family
feud with her brother, bred G. Mer-
rill, and her sister, Mrs. M. L. Brown.
The argument concerns what is to
become of thei ragged mother, Mrs.
Margaret Merrill.
Mrs. Tilden, who it appears gov
ems everything in the best 400"
rules, desires Mrs. Merrill to end her
days in a sanitarium surrounded by
the care that only hired attendants
can give.
Merrill and Mrs. Brown, however,
are rather old-fashioned. They be-
lieve that their mother should be
given love and care in her old days
They don't want her to go to cold,
dismal sanitarium.
The fight started when Mrs. Tilden
cancelled tango tea engagement
one afternoon and appeared in Judge
Owens court seeking an order to
compel the removal of her mother to
sanitarium. Immediately Merrill
got busy. A fight ensued.
AS a final means of keeping his
mother nthe home of his sister, Mrs.
Brown, he had Mrs. Tilden arrested.

Secretary Garrison and General Gro
zier Make Pathetic Plea Before
Committee on Appropriations

Washington. Feb 9.---The United
States, through lack of ammunition,
would be at the mercy of any for
eign power which might declare war
against it.
Statements to this effect, it was
learned tonight have been made by
Secretary of War Garrison and Gen
eraI Crozier, chief of the Bureau of
Fortillcations, before the Senate
Committee on Appropriations in Sc
cret session.
IF We should by any misfortune
be brought into contact in a hostile
way with another nation it goes
withou. saying that we have not am
munition enough to make it eftec-
tive. We have got to have more, "
Secretary Garrison told tho commit
tee.
Working under rush orders and
to the limit of capacity afforded in
the country. it would take two years
to make up the casting deficiency
in artillery ammunition" said GEN.
eral Crozior.
The information was so startling
that Senator Martin of Virginia,
chairman OF the committee, eXclaim-
ed In amazemcnt:
"lf this ammunition cannot be
produced in less than two years and
we cannot maintain ourselves in a
war we might as well be without an
army. No foreign country would
wait two years for us to make am
nunition.
