DOUBLE TRAGEDY FOLLOWS AID.
vERTISEMENT COURTSHIP.

Chicago, March s. Marriage
through newspaper advertisements
brought an aftermath of tragedy when
p. G. Ginetis shot his wife to death
and then committed suicide at Mata-
gorda, Tex. The news reached here
yesterday.
Ludvicka Ginetis, 16 years old, was
married some months ago to Sebastian
Carroll Braganza de la Coralla, "A
years old, said to be a Spanish count,
after her father, p c. Ginetis, had in
serted in the papers a picture of the
daughter, together with the statement
that she wished to marry.
Good wealthy husband of high edu-
cation" the advertisement said, and
Ludvicka could be seen at Grace street
and Sheridan road. and that she would
wear a white waist and black ribbon
Hour after hour for several evenings
Ludyicka endured the jeers of the
crowd. Eventually de la Coralla came
to Chicago, saw the girl and Ludvicka
became a countess.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ginetis went to live
with the sbn-in-law on his estate at
Matagorda. 1t was there Ginetis fol-
lowing a quarrel over religion, shot
his wife through the heart and then
sent bullet in to his own head.

COHEN'S TRAVELS
Finally At End Modern "Wandering

Dies In Connecticut,

New York. March S.-The travels of
Nathan Cohen, the man without
country" who for two years was car
ried back and forth between New York
and South American ports on steam
ships because he was refused shelter
in either the United States or Brazil,
have ended, and his body lies buried

Greens Farms, Conn, last Friday, and
his body was brought here for burial.

business in Brazil, and, accommodating
several thousand dollars, he came to
the United States, landing at Balti-

he went to Jacksonville, Fla, where he
lost his little fortune and his wife left
him.
While searching for her in Balti-

TAX COMMISSION RESOLUTION Is
BEATEN IN HOUSE.

Frankfort, KY, March s.-The Per-
ry resolution, calling for the appoint
ment Of tax commission, was defeat
ed in the House BY a vote of SS to 40.
An argument was made for the reso-
luton by Representative Hutchcraft,
who stated that thus far the General
Assembly had been tried and found
wanting and that the proposal for a
tax commission was the one encour-
aging thing Of the present session. He
said that the cost Of the commission
would be trivial, and that "single-tax
dodgers" re now escaping more taxes
than the entire cost of the commits.
sion's investigation.
Several members expressed oppo-
sition to the appointment of a commits
sion, saying that there had been one
two years ago and it had come to no.
thing. The opinion was expressed
that the report, of the old tax commits
sion still contains good advice if the
House chose to follow it.
Representative Gardner opposed the
resolution, saying that if the tax COM
mission made recommendation such
as they were expected to do, they
would recommend a political machine
that it would take the German army
to break up.

OCEAN MASTERY
Lies In Result Of Worlds Greatest
Naval Battle Which Is Re-
ported Imminent.

Amsterdam, Holland, March S.-Po-
sitive information has reached here
that twenty German dreadnoughts
have left Kiel and naval experts say
that the greatest sea battle of modern
times is imminent.
In this same connection 1t was re-
ported from Vlieland, Holland that a
number of big German warships have
slipped from the Kiel canal and have
taken refuge in the German naval base
at Zeebrugge, Belgium, where they are
continuously held with steam up. A
heavy snowstorm is raging on the
North sea.
There have been active communica-
tions between the British and Russian
admiralties recently, giving rise to
the belief that English and Russian
war squadrons will cooperate wnen
the ice goes out of the Baltic and will
prevent all German merchant ships
from leaving port. At present there is
lively maritime trading between Ger
many and Sweden.
Boast of Strength.
1t is significant that at the moment
when the German feet is supposed to
make ready for battle the strength of
the British feet forms the principal
subject of discussion in the House of
Commons.
mo German cruiser is in a position
to menace British commerce on any
ocean of the world at this moment
This emphatic announcement OF
British domination of the seas was
made in the Commons by Arthur j.
Balfour, First Lord of the Admiralty
1t evoked cheers from all parts of the
House
Preliminary to introducing the naval
estimates for the coming year, Mr.
Balfour discussed at length the status
of the British navy and the work it has
accomplished He announced tina;
since the war began the personnel OF
the navy had been doubled and its
actual strength had been increased by
more than 100000 tons. In the same
period the naval air service has been
increased tenfold, he added
What Has Been Done.
"Under thee guardianship of the
British feet" confined Balfour, H..
! 100000 combatants, 10000 horses
and mules. 100000 tons of stores ant
22,0OO,OOO gallons of oil have been car
ried during the war"
Mr.. Balfour explained the escape o
the Moewe from the British fleet by
stating that it reached its home port
by sailing around Iceland. His an
nOuncement to this effect was the frs
official admission in England that tho
commerce raider had reached a Ger
man port.
Winston Spencer Churchill, former
ly First Lord of the Admiralty, bu
now serving with the army, urged tha
every precaution be taken against the
advance of the German feet into tho
North Sea.
Churchill urged the return of Lore
Fisher as head of the admiralty
Churchill said that he had received
from other sources less satisfactory
accounts of the preparations of the
feet than the statement of Lord Bal
four led him to suppose
"The great German navy has beer
built under the special care of the
Emperor" he said, "at vast expense
Could we conceive that the German
government was content to allow the
navy to lie in the Kiel canal If it hoped
to have any influence on the strug
gle?" He stated that they must as
sumo that Germany completed every
vessel begun before going into the
war.

"bur 1 just had to ind you, for Pm ln lots of trouble"
 The voice trailed off as the tele- phone rang. It had been ringing for some time, but Jack Crowthers had not heard 1t. When he took down the receiver the voice at the other end made him knit his brows.
 When he put up the receiver he turned to the sleeping child.
 "Well, youngster, whatever your trouble, whatever has been mine, neither is anything to what is before me during the next hour. What pos sesses the soul of women, and your Aunt AIary's in particular, is beyond my limited knowledge"
 He threw himself into a chair and did not move until he heard the pur- ring of car us it came slowly up the lane
 The woman who entered moment later did not look at him as she crossed the room and knelt beside the child. She lifted the two dirty little hands and laid them against her cheeks, then she raised white strained face to the man who stood beside the fireplace.
 I've have looked for him all day. I did not think of his trying to find you until phoned. You were so far away"
 "Why didn't you call me at once" l H. cIA ,ola r. Ing into her face. How could IT" she said at last.

 T was so frightened she repeated slowly. q had but one thought-to get to you and Tom.'
 ITO get to me?' he repeated in- credulously.
 "Ye es."
 T do not understand"
 She came and stood beside him. "Neither do I, Jack. All know is that something bigger and greater than anything else in all the world made me come."
 And that is?" He would not, could not help her.
 Her answer was not direct. "TO- day was to have been our wedding day. That thought has been with me all through the awful hours we spent looking for Tom. When I called you, when 1 heard your voice, 1 knew ] must come. and nothing on earth could

 He was not listening to her. He had taken down the receiver and was calling for a number.
 "You need not, Jack,' she said soberly. q Brought him with me, our old pastor, who always understands without being told, and the two girls who were to have been my attendants. They are a little bewildered over the idea of wedding without the proper accessories, but such trities are of small moment" Her face was hidden now and her words came haltingly.

THE END OF NOWHERE By SUSAN E. cLAGETT.

He trudged wearily along, mite Of youngster, with a mongrel cur watching him with adoring eyes and following closely at his heels. Tom was too miserable to think of any thing but his desire to get as lar away from everybody as he could.
 He had not been treated failly. His father had told him he could keep the dog-the one thing in all Toms uni verse he wanted with his whole little heart-then had changed his mind. He gave no reason. Just said he wouldn't have such looking cur about. That he must go, and Tom decided he would go also.
 He had walked miles and miles. Tempted by the shade of big trees, Tom had left the main thoroughfare and wandered down a little-used road that carried him farther and farther away from the usual haunts of men. Now he was very tired and very hungry. With his arms about the yellow cur, tears just glistening on eyelashes that rested lightly against berry-tainted cheeks, he slept the sleep of exhaustion, half hidden in the grass by the roadside close to the end of nowhere.
 A few yards farther on the road ended in front of a house, log house with deep, screened porch and gay flower border at one side.
 The place was lonely. Somebody's summer camp and that somebody was leaning moodily against tree whit ting There was a whine. Before him was lnongrel cur, paws hang ing, one ear cooked, the other limp.
 He stopped, but the dog whisked away from the kindly hand and sat down farther away.
 "Oh that's it." the man said. You want me to go with you? All right. Lead and l will follow" And follow be did until the dog stopped close by something lying beside the road
 The man gave a low whistle as he looked down at the boy. Then he gathered him into his arms and hur- ried back to the house. AS he laid him on couch, Tom opened his eyes.
 You told me you lived at the end of nowhere, Uncle Jack, and l came near not finding you" he murmured.
