ANOTHER DREAM OF
+ LOVE IS SHATTERED
AMERICAN GIRLS PROXY MAR
RAGE OUT IN JAVA FAIL
ED TO MATERIALIZE.
SAD ELIMINATION OF ROMANCE

Colorado Girl Travelled Ten Thousand
Miles to Supposed Husband Only
to Find That She Had Been Duped
by Officer i'm Dutch Army.
Another romance has fallen and
broken, like vase, splitting its rare
perfumes half around the globe.
1t was last January that Eugenia
Campbell, OF Colorado Springs, was
led to the altar by proxy by groom
who dwelt in faraway Java.
Java is under Dutch rule. Under
the laws of Java proxy marriage
was required, so Harvey V. Duell, of
Brooklyn, then visiting in Denver,
served as the proxy bridegroom,
while the real bridegroom. Jan PETER
Scholten, an officer in the Dutch
army, was supposed to lead a proxy
bride to the altar in Java.
This was to be the elimination Of
romance that had its beginning
when Scholten met Miss Campbell
when he was travelling through this
country two years ago and their ac-
quaintance rapidly progressed until
the proposal of marriage and its ac-
ceptance by Miss Campbell.
1t was planned that Scholten
should come to Colorado Springs for
the wedding. Then the war broke
out and he was unable to leave his
command. The proxy marriage was
then decided upon.
So the American girl set out for
her 10,000-mile trip to Join her
proxy husband in the Orient. When
she arrived at Singapore. where she
was the guest of the American con-
sui and his wife, she acquainted them
with the facts. The consul suggested
an investigation before going anv
further. The bridegroom was
summoned to Singapore, but what
happened at the conference remains 4
secret. 1t is known, however, that
Miss Campbell ascertained there had
been no pI Ky marriage in Java.
Putting into motion the legal ma
chinery necessary TO admit the proxv
bride to Java was also responsible
Tor the collapse of the romance. n
was necessary that Queen WilbeI-
nina should grant a special dispense
tion for Miss Campbell. so that she
would not be subject to the immigra-
ton laws of Java. This brought the
american consul into the affair. Miss
Campbell is at home again.

there was never any official or semi
official statement back of it.
Denied by Officials,

Denied by Officials.
When asked about the rumor that
had gained such wide currency au-
thorized officials of the express COM
pany stated there was no truth in it
for the very good and sufficient rea-
son that they could not refuse to ac-
cept shipments of liquor when the
courts have already held that they
are legitimate articles of commerce.
They said that there was no ques-
ton that the new Georgia law would
place a good deal of extra work on
the company and in a measure make
it a sort of state constabular system
by putting upon it the burden of see
ing to it that no individual receives
more than his legal amount of liquor
in any calendar month and also re-
curing the company to take aftida-
Wits from individual consignees be-
fore delivering packages to them.
In this connection however, they
declared they would do the very best
within their power to comply with
the laws of the state, just as they
are endeavoring to comply now with
similar laws which are in force in
Alabama They further stated in all
probability they would endeavor to
obtain permission from competent
authority TO charge higher rates for
liquor shipments because of the adj
ditional expense to which they will
be put in handling them.

Is WHETHER PRESIDENTS Pro

LEADERS ALREADY ON GROUND

Is APPARENT That There Will BE a
Strange Alignment of Representa-

Big Fight Is Certain.
Observation-Disclosures are lining
up for the gigantic struggle in con-
gress on the issue of national defense
Party lines are crumbling and pollt-
ical differences fading in the ne"
alignment. Tariff and the currency
are subordinated to the main issue:
Whether we shall adequately defend
our possessions.
Congress convened Dec. 9Th, and
the question of preparedness is the
leading issue. The defense program
Of President Wilson is the question
that surpasses all others.
1t will be a strange alignment. ne
publicans and democrats will be
jumbled up in an inextricable tangle.
Representative Gardner, OF Massa-
chusetts, a republican, will tight
shoulder to shoulder with Champ
Clark, of Missouri, the democratic
speaker of the house, for the presi-
dents program.
Claude Kitchin, democratic house
leader from North Carolina and the
adherents of the extreme pacifst
views of Bryan, along with Edward
W. Saunders, of Virginia, the demo-
cratic caucus chairman, are oppo-
nents of the presidents policy.
Other issues shrink before the par
amount question of defending what
We have. What are questions OF in
ternal policy compared with che Dues
ton of outward defense? what Dus-
mess will there be left us If the man,
ed fist comes knocking at our doors
This is why republicans are lot
getting tariff questions in the matter
Of public defense. This is why DEM
ocrats are forgetting their past dlI-
ferences before the question OF ma
tional existence. 1t is life or death
matter.

SPOOK ISLAND SINKS
FOR WINTER SLEEP
Strange Mass That Blooms in Sum-
mer. But Hides in Lake During
the Cold Season.

PONTIAC, Mich.-Spook Island,
in Echo Lake, is again disappearing.
Usually this island comes to the sur
face each summer in June and con-
tinues rising until August, when it is
about two feet or more out Of the
water, and is covered with dropping
vines, grass and foliage.
By the time ice forms the island
has entirely disappeared, so that the
fishermen fish through the ice over
the spot where the island was dur
ing the summer.
This island consists of peat and
bog, which burn readily when dried.
In the summer stumps come up from
under the island six or eight feet
over night, raising the vines until
the creepers hang in festoOns. Large
pieces of the island break away at
times and float around the lake look
ing like huge boulders.

not Refuse to Take Them.
ATLANTA.-A terrible jolt was
shot into the consumers of mail order
liquors by the report published in
certain of the Atlanta newspapers
that the Southern Express Co. had
announced it's determination not to
handle any liquors at all into Geor-
gia after May /, 1916, on account of
the stringent provisions of the Sto-
vail anti-shipping bill, which would
require the transportation company
to keep a strict record and make
regular reports to the ordinary of
the county into which the shipments
were made.
In the light of such an announce
ment consumers Of liquor began to
see even their hopes of the meager
half gallon a month fade away. 1t
was frankly stated that the an
nouncement came from subordinate
officials of the company, in the abb
sence Of General Manager HOckaday.
Caused Cneasiness.
Although reason might indicate
the fallacy of this position on the part
of the express company there were
many who accepted the report as
true, and much uneasiness followed.
In the first place, it is hardly proba-
BILE that the express company would
give up a revenue amounting to APP
proximately half a million dollars,
in the gross, a year. In the next
place. the express company is a COM
mon carrier and can, of course, be
compelled by law to transport any
article of merchandise which il may
legally handle. Under the very strin-
gent anti-shipping law it is legal for
any person in Georgia to receive half
a gallon of whisky, or four quarts of
wine, or as pints of beer every
month The express company could
not refuse to handle such packages
if offered them for shipment. That
they will be offered for transporta-
ton there is of course, no question
1t develops, however, that the re-
port of the company's refusal was
not well founded. 1t emanated. it is
said, from the talk of some clerks;
