Then He Escapes
Back from the club came the
party and on Summit avenue. in a
moment of his guards relaxed
vigilence, Fandel escaped from
the car and ran down side street
to the home Of Adolph Bremen,
855 West Seventh street. Some
one had told Fandel his bride
was there, and sure enough, she
was. Unmolested they succeeded
in boarding night train for New
York City.

UNHAPPY, VERY UNHAPPY
For Several Long, Long Hours,
He is Kept Away From Dis
tressed Bride

The following clipping was Ia
ken from the St. Paul Pioneer
Press concerning the marriage
of Julius F'andel of st. Cloud.
brother of Victor Fandel of the
Bee Hive Store, and we'll known
in this city:
Julius Fandel of st. Cloud was
married yesterday morning. So
was Miss Magdelen Nicolin,
daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. j. H.
Nicolin, 1903 Stewart avenue. In
fact, they were married to each
other, and very pretty ceremony
it was, too, with the Church Of
st. Francis de Sales, West Sew
enth and DAILY streets, all deco
rated for the occasion, and the
bride looking her best and the
groom his bravest, plenty of ad-
mlrlng and we'll wishing friends
standing by and later delicious
wedding breakfast at the home of
the bride.
End Was Not Vet
1t all started out very felici-
tously, indeed. But the rocky road
OF their true love had yet to be
trod in it's entirety.
Shortly after the company
arose from the wedding feast. the
bridegroom, who had just pro-
missed to cherish his wife for bet
ter, for worse, for richer, for
poorer, disappeared. He drOpped
out OF sight as completely as if
the earth had opened up and
swallowed him. That is he disap-
peared from the sight of the
bride and from the sight of her
family.
Dust Cloud Gives Clue
Far down the street was a
cloud of dust. Beyond the dust
raced a big car and in the car, al
most buried in heap of young
manhood, could be discerned the
bridegroom, struggling and pro-
testing, crumpled and unhappy.
but still the bridegroom, the hero
of the recent affair at the church.
He was fairly caught and his
struggles against his captors
were in vain.
He Was Unprepared
A vision of the deserted bride
shedding tears at mis- unexplained
absence did not add to the COM
fort of the victim. His disheveled
appearance bore witness TO his
unpreparedness for the flight. He
had been nabbed while about to
assume proper travelling apparel
for the honeymoon trip.
Continued Their Flight
Needless of his protests, his
captors continued their flight
and took counsel as to what
should be done with the bride
groom now that they had him. A
bridegroom is not an easy article
to dispose of and an angry BRIDE
groom is not a comfortable thing
to have around. That he must not
be allowed to take the 8 O'Clock
train in company with Mrs. Fan
del they were determined.

The excavations nave been prac-

Action of Secretary
FOreshadows New Policy

London. June 9. 12.45 P. M.-The
Evening Standard says:
Mr.. Bryan's resignation from Presi-
dent Wilson's Cabinet appears to fore
shadow a more decided American
policy-not necessarily intervention or
war. 1t was some vision of this, no
doubt. which led Germany to dispatch
an unofficial emissary TO talk I'M
officially of peace in the United States;
he can be disavowed more easily than
Count Won Bernstorff when the occa-
sion requires. England will not emu
late Germany in attempting to bully
or cajole neutrals as to their policy.
THE policy OF the United States is
q matter for the government and for
the people of the United States to set
tie themselves Political feeling will
run high in America during the next
few days. but the issues are clear
enough although German agents will
certainly attempt to confuse the pub
lie mind.
We have already expressed our
hope hat the United States will not be
drawn into the conflict. but it is be-
coming increasingly difficult for her to
remain outside"

Resignation Will Not
Change Mexican Policy,
Is Belief of Mexicans

New York, June s.-Mexicans here
generally conceded to-day in the
opinion that the resignation of William
]. Bryan as Secretary of State would
not affect the policy of the United
States toward Mexico. General Vic
toriano Huerta. when informed of Mr..
Bryan's resignation, said:
THAT is something I should not
talk about. / am a Mexican and it is
none of my business. 1t is interesting
news"
Francisco Uruouidi. consul general
of the Mexicon Constitutionalists, said:
mfr. Wilson. as we understand II,
has been the n who has made the
Mexican policy of the Washington ad-
min%istration. There is no reason that
I know of why he will change that
policy or turn the formation of a new
policy over to anyone" d
Roberto V. Pesqueira, here on a con-
fidential mission for General Carranza,
agreed with Mr.. Uruquidi that Mr.
Bryan's resignation would cause nc
radical change in the Presidents Mex
lean policy.

London. June 9, 1923 P. M.-The
