DECEIVED GIRL SPURNS
MANS MARRIAGE OFFER

Philadelphia, Pa, May 25.-Pretty Doria
SCardinOs eyes flashed and she vigorous
ly shook her head when Ettore Primiscl
the man who is accused of keeping her
prisoner in his room for FIVE months
offered to ''straighten things out" at his
hearing today by marrying her.
L love her and am willing to make
her my wife " he said
You are willing-you-" screamed
Doris, who is IS years old. What about
me? l will have nothing to do with
you; nothing. You are a beast"
Primisci said nothing. 1t was testified
he had met the girl two years ago. Five
months ago, according to the police, he
took out a marriage license and told the
girl that it constituted the marriage cere-
mony.
Many times she had tried to get away

said today, but was confronted with a
locked door. On several occasions she
had broken the lock only to be caught
by woman said to be the proprietor
Then when Primisci returned at night

NOT time FOR PEACE
TALK, STATES WILSON
Germany Desires End of War. but Is
Backward in Her Declara-
ton for Ii.

President Wilson explained to callers
yesterday that he did not believe an
offer to mediate in the European war
would be oppOrtune at the present mo-
ment. To be effective. the President ex-
planned. an offer of mediation must come
at a time when it Is likely to be favora-
bly, considered by all the belligerents.
That time. the President believes, has
not yet arrived.
Although the Presidents attitude on
the subject has been known to persons
in his counsel, the direct statement COM
ing from the President himself has added
further emphasis to the hopelessness of
persuading the belligerents to enter peace
parleys. All the information from the
entente now indicates that Germany
peace suggestions will not be entertained,
LlOyds is now offering three to one
against the war ending by December 81,
1916.
Sir Edward Grey's declaration in Par
Lament that peace talk is idle" Is re-
garded in official circles as part Of the
entente's campaign to check the pro-
German peace propaganda in the United
States.
President wileon is willing to comnuni-
cate any peace proposal which Germany
cares to make to the entente. But he
Is not willing to endorce the German pro-
posal to the extent of advising the en-
tente to accept or even consider IT, Tn.
imperial government desires first TO have
the backing OF President Wilson for
peace proposals. Germany apparently is
not willing to transmit a plea for peace
through the United States or any other
neutral government but is willing to
support any such plea made by a neutral
government.

PASTORS MUST NOT USE
TOBACCO, RULES CHURCH

Atlantic City, N. j.. May 25.-The Gen
eral Presbyterian Assembly tonight vot I'd
unanimously to prohibit the use of to-
bacco by ministerial candidates and
members or the boards. The resolution
which was adopted says 1t a a glaring
inconsistency to teach the Young peo-
pie of the church about the evils of to-
bacco and allow ministers to smoke.
THE use of tobacco" says the resolu-
ton, lis inexcusably condemned, and is
an evil to be avoided"
Only one man spoke against the resolu-
ton. He was a minister, Rev. Oswald E.
Helsing, Of Dexter, Mo. He said he
opposed IT, not because he smoked, but
because he believes in personal liberty
Congress will be petitioned by the as
sembly to put through the national con-
situtional amendment for prohibition.
