YOUR WEDDING DAY
And the Famous Men and Women
Who Have Shared 1t.
August 25-Richard Wagner and Co.
: sima Liszt Won Bulow.
BY MARY MARSHALL.

Whatever may be said Of the moral as
pect of WagneT's second marriage, no.
body can deny the fact that Cosima Won
Bulow was admirably suited to compile
mcnt the strange character of the great
German musician. She understood him
as no one else ever did and he depended
on her. 1t Is tribute to her strength
Of character that he, who had never
known constancy before, was constant
to her
Wagner's first wife had left him be-
cause she could not endure life with this
monster Of genius" She bewailed their
poverty and used to beg him to compose
something popular, something that would
appeal to the gallery, something above
all that would bring in money
In 1851 this first wife left him and she
died five years later. II is an acknowl-
edged fact that Wagner wrecked the do
mestiC life OF the musician Hans Won
BulOw and his wife, but there seems to be
no foundation for the accusations that
Costma Won BuIow brought any unhappi-
ness to the first Frau Wagner
Fortune had been hard to Wagner up
TO the time of his separa ton. Nobody V
would even listen to his operas In 1864
when the great composer was fifty-one
years old, the young king Of Bavaria
called him to Munich as royal composer
He gave the artist a country villa, n
city house. and a generous pension and
asked him to conduct opera there Wag-
ner, looking about for a conductor, sent
for a former pupil, Hans Won Bulow. He
came to Munich with his wife Cosima,
an illegitimate daughter Of the great
liszt and the Countess d'Agoult War-
ner, lonely and depressed. suddenly found
himself favored by royalty and a wei
come guest in the home OF his congeniaI
CO. -worker-whom he called his second
sclf-and the lovely Frau Won Bulow For
= little while all went we'll Then be-
fore they quite knew what had happened
Wagner and COsima found themselves
violently in love.
In was in the autumn Of 1863 that the
Won BulOws were divorced. Some time
In the preceding summer Frau Won BuIovv
had borne Wagner a son. Won Bulov
could see no way out of the difficulty save
by divorce. ''If it were only some one
whom l could Kill" he said to a friend.
he would have been dead before this -
On August %, 1870, Wagner and Cosimo
were married in the Protestant church al
Lucerne. List, apparently, understood
his daughters deviation from the ar
ceptcd moral code, for it is said that fine
only thing about this second marriage
that displeased him was the fact that
she became a Protestant in order to
marry Wagner
Naturally there has been r,,,,cb .aid o,5
written on the question of the morality
OF this marriage. So long as Wagner's
music is played the subject will prove in
teresting to students of his life and works
Whatever the merits Of the case NAV be
Cosima Wagner proved a loyal, faithful
and sympathetic wife and Wagner him
ser enjoyed by his marriage to her
calmness of spirit and content which no
one else had ever brought him

Continental Army Idea SheIved,
Declares Hay.
He Is Storm Center of Ruction
With Sec. Garrison.
CONGRESS- is NOT WORRIED
House Committee VIII Go
Ahead With Program
Even Though Garrison Called
1t "Sham, Mockery."

Washington, Feb. 11.-s'Secretary
of War Garrison's resignation will
have no effect on congress" This was
the curt declaration today to Repre-
sentative James Hay, of Virginia,
chairman of the house military af-
fairs committee, the storm center of
the controversy which caused Garri-
sons summary withdrawal from the
Wilson cabinet.
Hay would not discuss personal
friction and disputes affecting himself
and Garrison. He would not comment
on reports of old feuds and differ
ences in the army policy. But he
declared the house military commit
tee will go ahead with Its own pro-
gram of army reorganization
Congress is the legislative branch
of the government" said Hay. 1T
gives due consideration to any sug-
gestions or proposals from the execu
tive branch, but by the constitution
congress is resolved the right to final
ly decide legislative questions
1t Was Some Feud.
When Hay was asked to comment
on Garrison's statement in his letters
to President Wilson that the federal
ization of the militia and discard Of
the continental scheme was a sham,
a mockery for national defense" Hay
repOrIeQ-
general Wood, former chief of
staff, said the continental army was
sham and stop-gap.' Hay plainly
intimated that the continental army
scheme is definitely and finally on
the shelf
I'VE will conclude our hearing on
the army and militia reorganization
bill today said Hay. I'VE hope to
have the bill out within ten days or
two weeks. Secretary Garrison's res
ignation will not affect the judgment
of the committee"
Hay said he had no intimation that
the dispute over the continental army
had reached such a serious stage that
it should cause another break in the
presidents cabinet.
That he and Garrison have not dis
agreed over the question of long or
short term enlistment in the army was
stated by Hay.
1.-The secretary did not advocate
shortening the enlistment term as
General Wood and many other officers
have said.' said Hay, who favors a
long term enlistment.
"Garrison's resignation will not
prove a blow to the general case of
national defense" Hay said.
Some say preparedness is one thing
and some another said Hay Il
think, the committee will bring out
bill which is generally satisfactory to
the administration and to congress
with real progress for preparedness"

WARNING TO CHARITY
State Board of Control Would Block
Illegal Solicitations.

Warnings were today sent by the
state board of control urging county
attorneys to block illegal solicitation
of funds fer institutions not author
lied to solicit under the state law
Aside from religious, benevolent and
fraternal organizations, the state
board has issued permits to but nine
charitable organizations
In the letters sent by W. E. Brooks,
chairman of the state board of con-
troll, all solicitors will be required to
show state permits when they enter
county to gather funds. The permit
provision of the state law has been
overlooked or lost sight of in many
counties and the state board believes
that Kansans have contributed heav-
lily for the aid of institutions not au-
thorized by the state board. All re-
ligious, fraternal and benevolent or
CARNATIONS are exempted under the
law.
Private institutions which have
been given permits by the board, i1-
clude: Bethany hospital, Kansas
City; Florence Crittenton Home (col-
ored), Topeka; William Small Me-
mortal Home, Leavenworth; Kansas
Children's Home society, Topeka:
Kansas Association for Friendless
Women, Leavenworth; Christian
Science League, Wichita; st. Vincent's
Home, LeaveHworth; Hutchinson Res
fuge Home, Hutchinson; Florence
Crittenton Home, Topeka. The per-
mits issued these institutions by the
state board are for the fiscal year
ending June 80.
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1916-02-11

agreed on the underlying principles of
both the military and Philippine
question but differed on methods of
carrying out their policies. They
pointed out that since Mr.. Garrison
wrote his first letter in January urg-
ing vigorous support of the continental
army, the president had toured the
middle west in it's advocacy and still
was trying to get congress to adopt it
Members of the presidents cabinet
generally expressed regret today that
Mr. Garrison resigned.
Department Without a Head.
Technically the war department to-
day was without a head, although
Major General Hugh Scott. chief of
staff of the army, was the ranking
officer Under an existing executive
order, General Scott, in the temporary
absence or illness of the secretary or
assistant secretary would become act
ing secretary. The judge advocate
general today decided that neither Mr.
Garrison nor Mr.. Breckenridge were
temporarily absent and therefore the
order was without effect.
A new executive order designating
General Scott as secretary ad interim
was Immediately drawn up. The or
der authorizes General Scott to per-
form the duties of secretary of war
Tor a period not to exceed 80 days,
until secretary of war shall have
been appointed and shall have quail
flied"

Topeka Shriners Will Continue Pres

Topeka Shriners will continue to

Leavenworth, until after the meeting
of the Imperial Shrine at Buffalo at
least. A committee composed of Ed

evening and discussed the PROPOSE

1t was decided that above all things
harmony must reign supreme in Alb
dallah and final decision on the pro-
posed separation should be given by
the Imperial Shrine. One Topeka
Shriner stated last evening that he
felt Topeka would lose its fight be-
fore the Imperial Shrine this year, as
in past years a first application for
separation always had been turned
down. But a few years later, if To-
peka still is DESTROYS of separation.
permission may be granted.
