INDIFFERENT HUBBY
RETURNS TO BRIDE

Norfolk, Aug. 23.-The mystery of
the whereabouts of George Elliott,
the bridegroom, who disappeared
Wednesday morning following his
marriage on Tuesday. ceased to be
mystery when he returned to the
nome of Patrolman B. j. Jones, father
of his wife, s27l Olney Road. The re-
turn was as sudden as his disappear
ance and members of the Jones fam
lily refused yesterday to discuss the
matter.
Yes. Mr. Elliott Is here, but beyond
that we have nothing to say, was the
statement of the parents of the bride.
1t is said that Mr.. Elliott returned
TO the city on the N. Y. l.. y. sun
day morning, and that he had been
with relatives at Capeville, Va, on
the Eastern Shore. Mr.. Eliiotts home
Is near Capeville.
Elliott left the home of his wife
Wednesday morning for nearby drug
store. and was not seen again until '1is
temperance yesterday. AS he had a
considerable sum OF money on his
person at the time, the parents OF
Mrs. Elliott feared that ne had been
the victim of foul play but this theory
was not entertained by the police.

NICHOLS ADVOCATES
OFFICERS RESERVE

Washington, AUG. 23.---General II.
w. Nichols. superintendent of the Viz
sinia Military Institute, at Lexington,
and one OF the best-known military
instructors OF the South. In letter
TO Chairman James Hay, of the House
Committee on Military Affairs, urges
the utilization OF the military schools
and agricultural mechanical colleges
for the creation of n reserve list of
officers for the United States Army in
the event OF war. General Nichols'
plan Ia outlined as follows:
''First-By modifying the existing
laws regarding agricultural and me-
chanical colleges. so that certain
minimum of military instruction shall
be given. This minimum should be
prescribed by the Secretary Of War
and should be sufficiently extensive
to develop efficient reserve officers.
In addition, graduates OF these tnsti-
buttons should be required to attend
summer encampments for period OF
years in order that they may secure
the intensive training these maneuvers
afford.
Secondly making the laws and
regulations governing honor military
colleges, as defined and selected by the
War Department. more liberal under
either or both OF the following plans
-ta) by giving each Of ten military
colleges selected annually by the de-
partment the right to appoint ten sec
ond lieutenants to the regular army
under such restriction as Secretary
of War may prescribe. thus affording
the army 100 additional officers each
year: and (b) by permitting each
State to appoint two cadets to each Of
these ten institutions on the same ha-
sis as to pay as now exists at West
Point"
General Nichols adds that this plan
would keep in constant training every
year $50 young men, who. on their
graduation will he available for re-
serve officers. These graduates, he
adds, should he required to serve at
least one year with the colors with the
pay and allowances of second lieu
tenants.

RICH coal. FIELDS IN
DICKINSON COUNTY

washington, Aug. 23.--The United
States Geological Survey, after an in
vestigation OF the Pound quadrangle
coal deposits In Pike and Letcher
Counties, Kentucky. and In Dickinson
and Wise Counties. Va. has pronounc-
ed them among the richest in the APP
palachian coal fields. The Pound
quadrangle - now being developed by
the Elk Horn Coal Company, WHICH
is largely financed by Baltimore cap
italists
The Geological Surveys bulletin, is
sued today. says:
'Irntii recently the region was en-
tirely undeveloped, and little informa-
ton concerning 1t was available, but
1t has not escaped the attention OF the
coal operators. for some OF the largest
corporations have acquired lands In
this region, with view to active de-
velopment. The quadrangle probably
contains a greater number of coal
beds than any area of the same size
in the Appalacsiia coal fields. and
will compare favorably with most
areas In that field in the thickness
and extent OF its beds"
