TWO GIRLS VICTIMS
OF FAKE MARRIAGES
Lack of Records Leads to Sensation
al Disclosures Concerning
Alleged Gang.

Council Bluffs, Ia, April 13.-An
organized gang is said, to exist here
which has for it's object the victim
izing of young women by fake marri-
ages. Sensational disclosures were
made yesterday. Two girls are
known to have been victims of the
organization. Each has been here
within the last week searching the
public records for evidence Of her
marriage. No license or certificate
was found and the young women
sought advice resulting in the dis
covery of positive evidence of the
fake ceremonies.
In. both cases the alleged cere-
mony was performed by supposed
justice of the peace, whose descrip-
ton given by the young women tai
lies. In one case the ceremony was
performed in the road in front of a
house near town while the couple
sat in an automobile, some plausible
excuse being given for going to a
country justice for the ceremony, it
is said.

plan TO KEEP
FUTURE PEACE
Delegates of Ten Nations End Con-
ference at The Hague.

The Hague (via London), April
12.-For three days there has been
a private discussion of peace here
by a conference consisting of about
thirty delegates from the United
States, Holland, Germany, Austria
Hungary, Sweden, Norway, England,
Belgium and Switzerland.
The conference ended yesterday
with the drafting of a programme
for action in the various countries.
Only a short record of the work Of
the conference has been issued, as
follows:
"The object of the meeting was
not to suggest steps to bring the war
to an end, but to consider by what
principles the future peace Of the
world would best be guaranteed. At
ter a full discussion a programme
was unanimously adopted
"The action to be initiated in the
different countries ultimately will
be supplemented by an information
al propaganda A central commit
tee for durable peace has been Gre
ated, as a link between the nation
al organizations. The committee of
the Dutch anti-war council, supple
mented by members from other
countries, will serve as the execu-
tive"
Mrs. Fanny F. Andrews of Boston
was the American delegate.

GERMAN SHIP AT
NEWPORT news
Auxiliary Cruiser Slips Into Port,
Badly in Need Of Fuel and
Provisions.
ELUDES HOSTILE WARSHIPS
Nine British, Four French and One
Norwegian Ship Sunk by
Raider.

Newport News, Va, April 12-The
German converted cruiser kronprlnz
Wilhelm, the elusive raider OF COM
merce in the couth Atlantic, slipped
into this port yesterday and asked
for fuel and provisions. Many times
reported destroyed, the former North
German Lloyd liner had evaded hos
tile warships for eight months while
she sent fourteen merchantmen to
: the bottom.
Her officers said she was forced to
feel her way past four allied cruis-
ers off the Virginia capes to reach
this refuge.
1--WE got in without being seen by
the enemy and we can get out the
Same way" declared her command
er, Lieut.. Capt. Paul Thierfelder,
formerly navigating officer of the
German cruiser Karlsruhe, in a
statement last night.
When she dropped anchor the
Kronprinz Wilhelm had less than
twenty-five tons of coal and scanty
provisions for the crew of 500 men
and sixty-one prisoners from Brit
ish merchant ships sunk in the south
Atlantic.
OF the fourteen ships that the 49,
600 tor cruiser sank nine were Brit
ish, four French and one Norwegian.
The value of these ships and their
cargoes, officers of the Wilhelm last
night estimated at 100000.
The Kronprinz Wilhelm followed
in the wake of the interned Prinz
Eitel Friedrich, which arrived here
a month ago yesterday after thrill
ling and effective operations for the
German arms.
In her raid of the seas since she
slipped out of New York harbor
Aug. 8 last as German merchant
and passenger steamer, the kron'
prinz Wilhelm never touched land
and took $50 prisoners from various
vessels destroyed.
Most of these were sent to South
American ports at different times on
German ships which met the raider
in response to wireless calls. The
sixty-one now on board, who will be
landed here tomorrow, are British
sailors from the steamships lamar,
destroyed March 25, and Coleby, de-
stroyed March 27 last.
The second of the raiders brought
as thrilling a story as did the Eitel
Friedrich. Her record of destruc-
ton, however, was accomplished
with only four guns, two from the
German cruiser Karlsruhe and two
captured later from the British
merchant steamer La Correntina,
sunk Oct. 7, 1914.
