c. B. Grundy, of Richmond, Flees
N. US Matrimonial Red Tape.

Carter B. Grundy, son OF Rich
mond, Va. capitalist, and Miss NJ. A.
De Witt, also Of Richmond, have been
married Somewhere in Connecticut
il is generally believed.
Saturday afternoon Carter. who is
youthful and admittedly inexperienced,
whispered his belief that 1t was hard
TO get married in New York into the
ear of the chief clerk at the Waldorf
Astoria, where he was staying. He
had heard of physical examinations,
verbal examinations and other handi-
caps to graceful plunge into matri-
mOny.
Leave it to me. I'll fix every
thing" said the clerk, who is bald,
blas6 and experienced.
Grundy agreed. The ceremony was
TO have taken place at the Little
Church Around the Corner at noon
yesterday, but it didn't. Instead,
Grundy and his fancee disappeared,
and, according 10 a bellboy with whom
he conferred about trains to Connecti-
cut and the rules concerning marriage
there. he showed every sign of prepRr-
ing to get married elsewhere. This
theory is given further credence by the
arrival of telegram al the Waldorf
Astoria last night on which was this
address, Mr.. and Mrs. Carter Grundy."

Americans to Officer Native
F Forces After Withdrawal.

Washington, May 22.-Rear Admiral
Caperton at Ssnto Domingo is taking
steps to distribute his landing force Of
American marines to various points in
the little republic, and before they are
withdrawn some arrangement probably
will be effected through which Ameri-
can officers will be placed in charge of
the native constabulsry.
A complete reorganization Of the
native troops is contemplated under
this plan, and Congress probably will
be asked to authorize naval and ma
rine officers TO serve under the Do
minican government.
American Minister Russell reported
to-day that he had received many re-
quests for protection of American
sugar plantations and other interests.
American warships already are sta
toned at all the important ports.
While Rear Admiral Caperton Is not
reporting details Of his operation, Of
ficials believe he now has the revolu-
tionary movement under General Ariss
well controlled.

TWO HOTEL MEN HELD
IN SWANN'S VICE WAR
Accused of Running Disorderly
House-Bail $4,000.

District Attorney Swann's campaign
against what he terms the vice com
bination," was continued yesterday in
tho arrest OF Louis Markell and Koppcll
Berger, lessees Of the Hotel New
Strand, 80 West Thirty-second Street,
formerly the Picrrepont Hotel The
men were indicted on charge Of
maintaining a dsorderly house. Judge
Delehanty. in General Sessions, held
each in $4,000 bail.
According 10 complaints, men who
had registered a. the New Strand had
been robbed. The methods used, Dis
trict Attorney Swami says, resemble
the old "creeper" game.
Markell and Berger, according to the
District Attorney, were driven out OF
St. Louis during the anti-vice crusade
there. They arc said to be lessees of
eight hotels in this city, some of which
are in respectable neighborhoods.
These are run strictly in compliance
with the law. The majority of them,
however, the District Attorney says,
are of the New Strand type.
Mr.. Swami says Markell recently
urged the Assembly TO pass "vice
bills" aimed TO remove hotels from
police espionage.
Complaints to the police by negroes
who bemoaned losses at policy led to
a general raid yesterday by Lieutenant
Costigan, OF the vice squad, and forty
detectives. Barber shops, bootblack
stands and cigar stores in Harlem were
visited twenty-five arrests were made.
