Statesmen Real
and Near.
BY Fred c. Kelly

WASHINGTON, March 11.-When
William b. Mckinley, the Champaign,
Ill, multi millionaire, retired from
congress two years ago, he set to work
at once on little project that had
been in his mind for many weeks
that was, to return to congress. And
he determined to set about the thing
in a slightly different way than had
ever been done before. In his unsuc-
cessful campaign OF 1912, Mckinley
had tried a number of innovations,
which included band concerts for the
voters by the famous United States
Marine Band of Washington. But that
didn't work. Much as they liked Nc
Kinley's band music, a great many
of the voters strayed from him on
election day. 1t was plain enough to
Mckinley that he must throw more
originality into his next campaign.
Soon after he ceased to be con-
gresham Mckinley went to Europe.
The trip was made partly for pleas
ure. but mostly by reason or Mchln-
ley's earnest desire to return to con-
gress. 1t may be a tritie unusual 10
approach a seat in cor gress via Eu-
rope. but Mckinley felt that II was
the only way.
For wears Mckinley ransacked Eu-
rome and part of Asia for people ana
scenes suitable for his purposes nav
ing photographs made as he WEN
along
When he returned to his district he
had a collection of pictures and IN
formation with which he could have
gone to any lyceum bureau and OBJ
tanned employment as travel lecturer
at good wages But Mckinley wished
TO be a lecturer only as a preliminary
TO being a congressman. lie had
slides mad from his photographs OF
people and things in the various
places he had visited. and each one or
these slides served as a text for tariff
argument one had only 10 look at
the picture and listen TO what Nc
Kinlev had 10 say concerning same
and be convinced that McKinley's
tariff views were exactly right.
Long before any other candidate
thought of getting ready for the con-
gressional campaign. Mckinley was
giving his illustrated lecture in school
houses and town halls throughout his
district II there was a single little
red doghouse-shaped school building
I'm the district where Mckinley dld
not exhibit his pictures at least once
ii was because he did not learn OF its
existence.
And each school child went home
TO talk about Mckinley and his IAN
tern slides and to be an unconscious
cog in his campaign organization.

no chance. What voter is going TO

MOCK MARRIAGE OF 20
YEARS AGO WIPED OUT
Court Establishes Status as
Wife Of Mrs. Henry
+. DOrgelOh.

The complications bcsettiuG Mrs. IL.
telle Dorgeloh Of Boston and her seven
tecn-ycar-old daughter. tratella B.a-
trice Barker. as a result OF a mock
marriage contracted twenty years ago
were wiped out yesterday by a decision
OF Supreme Court Justice Asphalt in
Brooklyn. Incidentally the status of
Mrs. porgeloh az wife Of Henry F..
Doreeloh. manager of the Hamburg
American line. is established.
Mrs. Dorgeloh was married three
times. Her second husband, Charles
:. Barker, Gicd IN 1901. but her first.
Alphonsus Murtagh, Is still alive. The
complications wer" raised by Mrs Dor
geloh herself about u year ago when
she interposed IN behalf of her daughter
In a suit to partition tho estate of the
girls grandfather. Charles Barker. As
a grandchiid. Arabella Barker was en-
titled to about $4,000 Of the estate.
The other heirs raised a question as
to her legitimacy.
The question was tried before SUI
preme Court Justice Rlackmar. the on
posing heirs holding that Murtagh was
alive when the second marriage. was
contracted. Mrs. Dorgeioh admitted
this, but insisted that she was only
II when she married Murtagh and that
neither he nor she had ever taken the
marriage seriously. Justice Blackmar
found the father had acted In good
faith and that the daughter, therefore,
was legitimate, but Mrs. Dorgeloh's good
faith lie left In question.
Mrs. Dorgeloh then brought the pro-
ceedings to annul her first marriage and
Murtagh. himself remarked. Joined with
her In the request. Justice Aspinall
finds that the plaintiff married Murtagh
on May !, 1897. when less thar is
years old. The marriage was contracted
during the absence of her mother. As
Mrs. Dorgeloh testified, so Justice AS.
itnall finds, that the marriage was
never taken seriously n annulment
was ordered.
