and wealthy FISHERMAN. that he sat up
in bed yesterday and called for mar
riage license. wedding ring and a
minister 20 marry him to his nurse.
Everything he ordered was immc-
diately forthcoming. and he might have
been possessed of an efficient wife of
considerably less than half his age this
morning but for the fact that his
daughter. Mrs. Annie Jones, made so
many objections that the minister de-
parted without performing the cere-
mony.
CAPTAIN Housman's romance began
about a year ago, when he suddenly
was stricken with a pain. physician
and Miss Lulu Carleton arrived TO take
charge OF the case. Miss Carleton has
since been in constant attendance on
the aged captain at his home, Rich

idea OF his state OF mind until the

CAPTAIN Housman. He walked into the
captains bedroom and found that happy
individual propped up among the Pill

ME-" said the captain.
The minister was asking II the cap

Mrs. Jones arrived and answered the
question herself.
The situation became so exciting that
Miss Carleton collapsed and another
nurse had to be called in 10 look after

would get another minister. II was

POISON PEN MYSTERY
QUESTION OF VERACiTY
Sunday School Pupil Confronts
Teacher Across Bible.

The poison pen mystery OF Little
Neck. l. J.. depends for ITS solution on
determining whether Gfteen-year-old
Alvena Wolfe is telling the truth, or
whether the truth comes from MISS
Mary Fverson, a small, gray haired
SINISTER Of fifty, Sunday school teacher
and a pillar Of the Dutch Reformed
Church.
Escorted by a detective and two off
GERS Of the Queens County Children s
Court. the Wolfe girl went TO MISS
Fverson's home and there, with her
hands resting on the Bible IN the par
lor looked the elderly woman in the
ewes and accused her of writing the
letters and Of being guilty of some oil
the things the letters charged. Then,
calmly placing her hands on the same
Bible. the little spinster denied every
thing the girl had said.
For three hours the officers cross
examined her. and were unable TO
shake her denial Instead Of taking
her away on felony charge they left
her in her home II was Miss Everson
herself who turned the letters over TO
the District Attorney. Some were
addressed to her, some TO the NoltJe
Girl whom she had taught for three
wears in her Sunday school.
Some Of the letters were signed
Mrs. Gabrielle Grovetto,' once
neigbbor of Miss Everson. Mrs.
Grovetto was arrested, but on the con-
fession of the Wolfe girl of her re-
iations with Miss EveTsOn, Mrs.
Grovetto was discharged and Miss
Everson was charged with endangering
the morals Of q minor. She Is free in
the custody Of her counsel, James E.
Bennet. of New York, and will appear
for examination Wednesday. The
Wolfe girl will be arraigned to-day IN
the Children's Court, at Jamaica, and
will be held as a material witness.

Try to Help Orphans.

Henry Fords further activities in
the Great War may not deal with how
TO stop it. but how to relieve some OF
its terrors. Among these is the imme-
date need of milk for the babies OF
Germany and Austria-Ilungary. Judge
Ben Lindsey, who returned on the
Nicuw Amsterdam yesterday with the
last Of the Ford peace party, an
nounced this change Of front.
DR.. Edmund Won Mach gave this
country an inklng Of the need for milk
several weeks ago. Judge Lindsey yes
terday confirmed it, There are mill
ions Of babies in the Teutonic coun-
ties who must have milk" said Judge
Lindsey. milk must be purchased in
this country and shipped there for
those millions Of poor, innocent, starv-
ing babies Something, too, must be
done for the great number of war or
phans. ] will speak with Mr.. Ford in
behalf OF the starving babies and par
entless children and learn if he cam
not do something for them"
How would you suggest the wer or
phans be cared for?" he was asked.
"Wen, | wouldn't advise that they
be adopted by men and women in this
country, as has been suggested" re-
piled Judge Lindsey. They must be
attended to in their own native coun-
tries"
The judge had just greeted Mr. Ford
who went down the bay to meet the
Holland liner. As the cutter
drew alongside the delegates threw
their hats into the air and gave "three
rousing cheers" CASTOR Plaintiff, bust
ness manager of the peace argosy, was
cheer leader.
Mr. Ford conferred in Mr.. Plartifr's
stateroom until the ship locked.

THE members Of the party admit

the company was hastily gathered and
therefore poorly organized. But, at
least, they made a definite impression
in embattled Europe and promoted
wide discussion Of the principles Of
peace.
"The time for newspaper publicity
has passed. Now the harder task of
quiet conference, wise deliberation and
high diplomacy has come. II is the
opinion Of the returning members that
something can be done. The time IS
ripe Cor action. No one can do much,
but every one can do something, and
they are coming back determined to
continue their work more earnestly
than ever"
When Mr. Plaintiff came from his
stateroom he was asked:

DeplOres His Lack of
Virtue and Inability
to Win Grace.
DELAYS ASSUMING
IMPERIAL CROWN
Chinese Ruler PrOcIaims His
UnWOrthiness to ThrOne-PeO-
pies Hearts Not His.

Peking. Feb. 24-Yusn Shih-kai has
again proclaimed his unworthiness to
ascend the throne and expressed his
regret that lack Of virtue on his part
Is responsible for the unsettled condi-
tons in Yun-Nan Province and other
parts of Southern China.
In an impassionea speech delivered
to the officials OF the bureau ntrusted
with the preparation for the enthrone-
ment the president made an explana-
ton of the delay in the date Of en-
thronement as announced 10 the for
eign legations on January 81. Yuan
Shlh-kal's dramatic address was COM
municated TO officials in all the prov
inces in explanation of the failure to
carry out the ceremony.
TRANSACTIONS OF this remarkable ad-
dress differ somewhat although the
translations all credit Yuan with the
same lament concerning his own un-
worthiness. The following is an APP
proxmately literal translation of parts
of the speech:
"As the Province of Yunnsn is now
opposing the central government, and
under some pretext a rebellion has
been raised in those regions, causing
hardships TO the soldiers and suferings
of the people, we sigh in receiving you
in audience because owing 10 our lack
Of virtue we are unable to win the
hearts of all the people, which in eff
feet means that we are unable to WIN
the will Of Heaven.
I'VE are profoundly grieved TO con-
fess that a portion Of the people are
dissatisfied with US. To perform the
ceremony Of enforcement at this juno
tUre would, therefore, set our heart on
thorns. Furthermore. we must remem-
her that the national expenditure will
be greatly increased for the purpose Of
defraying the expenses of the military
campaign.
"Since the question of Kuo-Ti has
been settled, the request OF the people
accepted by us and the general situa-
tion is beyond doubt, the mind OF the
people should be at rest. II will not be
a serious matter if the grand ceremony
Of homage be postponed somewhat. We
hope that all the officials in and out
side of Picking will attend to their re-
spective duties and with unanimous
heart push forward all the admins
trative affairs for the betterment Of
the country and the welfare Of the
people"

Says Child Labor Bills
Opposition Is FOmented
by Emery Methods.
DEFENDS LEGALITY
OF NEW MEASURE
[ letters Showing Activity OF
Lobby Read Into Record of
the Committee.

Washington. Feb q. The opening
gun on the child labor question was
fired to-day BY Senator Kenyon. OF
Iowa. and the shell exploded, not IN
III, Southern cotton mill defences, but
3. the trenches of the National Asso-
ion of Manufacturers.
Senator Kenyon disclaimed any idea
% lacking the South. He had heard
a. testimony Of the Southern cotton
r.:.ufacturers, he said, and doubtless
ttc:- welfare work for employees was
.c-g fine. But the child labor qucs-
t.ca was national problem. he de-
clarod. and objections from restricted
area Of four states must be disre-
garded
The real opposition which was food
ing the Senate with letters Of protest,
Senator Kenyon declared, was the Ma
tional Association Of Manufacturers,
with its subsidiary organization, the
National Council for Industrial De-
fence.
Senator Kenyon then congratulated
Mr.. Emery and his associates, the
representatives OF the National Asso-
citation of Manufacturers, for daring TO
begin their lobbying work so soon after
the Mulhall revelations, but objected
TO their making the first attack upon
the child labor bill. The Senator then
read into the record some Of the dam
acinc testimony that made Mulhallism
a bvword several years ago.
"iThe contention that the power OF
CONGRESS- in interstate commerce is abb
solute has never been denied by the
Supreme Court" Senator Kenyon SAID.
"It Is not question OF power, but one
If discretion similar to measures pre-
venting the manufacture OF oleomarga-
rine and the shipment Of liquor INTO
states where its sale is forbidden by
state laws and the restriction OF the
traffic in habit forming drugs.
Senator Kenyon also pointed out the
friendship between Emery and Judge
James jenkins, formerly chairman OF
the House Judiciary Committee, who
had declared all child labor Legislation
unconstitutional
Senator Kenyon read letters from
Mulhall. Schwedtman and Emery, show
inc how funds had been collected from
81 Louis brewers and New York bank
ers TO save Judge Jenkins from defeat,
and how. after the Taft election. Null
hall wrote Schwedtman that Emery had
left in his charge the task Of fixing
the House Judiciary and the Labor
committees.
Senator Reed. who was a member OF
the Lobby Committee" confirmed the
impression Senator Kenyon had OBJ
tanned as to the activities of the trio,
and he showed how these bulletins sys-
tematically misrepresented the facts to
a trusting constituency of manufact-
urers.

negotiations for an eight-hour
day., | believe he used his best
judgment in doing as he did,"
President Lovett of the Union
Pacific railroad says: president
Wilson has substituted the law
as rule of conduct for presiden-

for Wilson, after reading all
these enconiums he has paid to
organized labor? The republi-
