ensign to the top of the mast and
hoisted signal flags faring to the
breeze the words Maine, 1915" The

BRIDEGROOM GAY
HONEYMOON SETS in
IRON-BARkED CELL
YOUTH TTLLS HOW HE CASHED
WORTHLESS CHECKS ON BRIDAL
TRIP.

ST. LOUIS, May 29.-The story of a
honeymoon that set in an iron-barred
cell was told last night at Central Dis
trict Station by Walter Klein, % years
old, of New York.
This honeymoon began to wane when
the bank roll of Klein, the bridegroom,
grew slender, was restored to its et-
fulgency by the expedient of cashing
worthless checks and dipped below the
horizon when Pinkertan detectives
caused Klein's Arrest in St. Louis.
Klein was arrested at the Regent
Hotel last night by Detectives Joyce
and Sullivan on information supplied
by the Pinkertons that he was wanted
in Seattle and San Francisco on charge
of cashing worthless checks. At police
headquarters he readily admitted he
was the man wanted and told his
story.
Last October, he said. he met girl
in New York and fell in love with her.
At that time he was employed as a
drug clerk. They were married in
March, and decided to spend their
honeymoon 1T the Panama-Pacific Elk
position.
Then he went to bank and deposit
ed a check for $500 drawn on New
York bank. On this check he drew
$3.50, with part of which he sent his
wife back to New York, while he went
to Seattle.
There his funds again ran low and
he put through another worthless
check, this one for 1915. Later he tried
to cash another worthless check but
failed, he says.
From the West he came to st. Louis
several days ago, and was located here
by the Pinkertons. The authorities at
Seattle last night wired the st. Louis
police they would send detectives here
for Klein.

CABINET OFFICIAL
To SUPERINTEND
ENGLISH COMMERCE
(By Associated Press.)

LONDON, May 31.-At the annual
meeting of the Association of Trade
Protection SOCIETIES a resolution was
passed urging the establishment of d
Ministry of Commerce and expressing
the belief that such a Ministry would
have prevented many of the Difficult
ties which have arisen during the re-
cent months.
The matter has been taken up by
several newspapers and although the
question of cost is considerable it is
urged that the work now being done
partly by the Foreign Office, the Board
of Trade and the Colonial Office would
if coordinated and consolidated in a
single branch, greatly assist in the
extension of British trade and at the
same time smooth the contraband
difficulties which traders in almost
every branch of commerce are suffer
ing from at the present time.
