Ambassadors Daughter Weds.

London, Aug. 4.-Miss Kathryn
Alice Page, daughter of the American
ambassador to Great Britain, Walter
Hines Page, was married at 2:30
o'clock this afternoon at the Chapel
Royal, St. James palace, to Charles
Greedy Loring, son of General Charles
Loring of Boston. The ceremony was
performed by Bishop Bord- Carpenter,
sub-dean of Westminster abbey, as
sisted by Rev. Edgar d. Sheppard
sub-dean of the Chapel Royal. The
bride was given away by her father,
and her brother, Frank Page, was Mr..
Loring's best man.
The wedding was very simple, be-
cause the ambassadors family desir-
ed to avoid anything resembling
social function while the war is in
progress. The floral decorations were
beautiful, but not profuse Members
Of the government, representatives of
the royal court and diplomats present
wore morning dress. The invitations
virtually were limited to persons in
official life and intimate friends of

lions with Jones to Captain thinner
and Assistant States Attorney John
X. Murphy. The fact that Jones gave
her 1885, presumably for the purpose
of fleeing from the city, before he fired
a bullet into his own body was also
taken as basis for the charge against
her
If love was the cementing bond of
the odd domestic situation which
death untangled, Miss Bitner gave lit
tie evidence of it.
Even when told that Jones had died
the girl wept little. The few tears
that welled up were prompted rather
by suggestion, it appeared, than grief.
Jones had found his home life in
complete. Miss Bitner, who scarcely
finished the fourth grade in the public
school, looked upon the automobile
rides he gave her as luxury. She
never had had sweetheart. Her
wants were simple. Jones met her on
an automobile ride which he gave a
party of boys and girls two years ago.
His son, Harry, then only IA, was
along.
The girl was easily influenced.
There had been other girls in Jones
life before, it was said. There always
has been a scarcity of beauX in May
wood. The girls far outnumber the
young men, and Miss Bitner had not
been as lucky as her prettier friends.
She was easily led by the attentions
Of Jones, a man twice her age. She
had had few pleasures. Homework
was her chief accomplishment, al
though she had worked at odd inter
walls as an Office girl for her brother
in-law, Charles A. Joslyn, head of an
auditing concern.
Both Mrs. Jones and Miss Bitner's
relatives tried to break the attach
ment, and the police were appealed to,
and Jones promised to give the girl
up, but he failed to keep his promise
Instead, he took her to the home of
Policeman Henry c. McNurney at 3401
Colorado avenue. That was four
months ago. There had been talk to
the effect that Jones was planning to
sell the garage which he had estab-
iioHeu with HIS Vile HloHty anu lake
Miss Bitner to California with him.
When she disappeared her folks
thought at first she had gone there.
There is little doubt but that Jones
never expected TO obtain a divorce
ard marry her, although Miss Bitner
believed he would. Then came the
filing of the divorce suit and the is
suance of the order restraining him
from selling his property. He saw
everything Slipping He was desper-

levee improvement commission will
build for the l. & l. railroad the sea

ton with that already built. When it

Jones died a suicide in the Oak Park

and not for the girl on whose life he
had cast a stain.
Miss Bitner was booked as an ac-

ALLIANCE DENOUNCES
MUNITION EXPORTS

San Francisco, Aug. 4.-Choice of
a city for the next convention, election
of officers and consideration of mass
of business, including several matters
of national interest, were on the pro-
gram today at the eighth biennial con-
vention of the GermanAmerican alli-
ance of the United States.
Much interest was shown in sew
eral questions to come before the
convention One of these was the
shipment of war supplies from the
United States to Germany's enemies,
which was denounced as a violation
of the spirit of neutrality by the pres
ident, by DR.. J. c. Hexamer of Phila-
delphia at the first days program.
Resolutions dealing with this subject
were expected to be presented today.
Another matter which aroused keen
interest was an open letter to Presi-
dent Wilson, prepared by delegate,
but the presentation of which before
the convention had been withheld.
Nothing was given out concerning the
contents of the letter.
Officers of the organization have
stated that the alliance was opposed
to nationwide prohibition and some
of them said this sentiment probably
would be crystalized in some definite
resolution today.
No contest for any Of the important
officers in the alliance was expected.
Reelection of DR.. Hexamer and his
assistants by reclamation was pre-
dicted.
For the next convention, however,
there was a contest, with chances adj
mittedly in favor of Milwaukee. 9th
