GIRL WHO CAME To
ELKO To MARRY
HINDU MARRIES
Mary Wilson, Who Amer Singh
Says Stung Him Gut of Four
Hundred Dollars Catches a
Life Mate in Ogden at Last

OGDEN, April 30.-The following
item from the Salt Lake City Tribune
will undoubtedly interest the many
Elko people who followed the case
when it arose here:
Another chapter of the romance in
the life of Mary Wilson was written
today when she was united in mar
riage to Lawrence NJ. Perry of Coun-
Gil Bluffs, Iowa. The ceremony was
performed at the courthouse by Jus.
tice of the Peace Adam L. Peterson.
The bride gave her age as 90 years
and the bridegroom said he was 81
years OF age.
Miss Wilson first came into promi.
nence last February when Amer Singh
a Hindu farmer of Corinne. complain
ed TO the police that Mary Wilson had
refused TO marry him after he had
paid her fare to Elko, New. Later
singh signed complaint against
Miss Wilson, charging her with en-
bezzlement of S400, which amount was
alleged TO have been advanced to buy
furniture for home to be fitted I'D
for the parents of the girl.
The complaint against the girl was
dismissed and then Singh then filed a
civil suit to recover $500 and $4,000
damages against the girl. She filed
an answer and counter claim for SIS,
600 for alleged injury to character
caused by the suit. Later Singh filed
criminal complaint against S. A. d
Wilson, the girls father, charging EN-
bezzlement. The civil action against
the father was filed to collect $4OC
and damages. All of the actions ar,
pending in the district court at thi.
time.

SUM MARY is
ENCOURAGING

Today's reports from the Flanders
battle fronts serve to emphasize the
completeness of another victory won
by the Anglo-French forces yesterday
in withstanding the tremendous as
sault by which the Germans hoped to
break into the allied hill positions 10
the southwest of Ypres to enable
them to begin cutting their way to-
ward the channel ports. The situa.
tion seems to have been another case
where the entente high command de-
cided once more TO make a stand az
ter having forced the Germans to use
up tens OF thousands of men in fight
ing their way desperately forward az
they have done. The decision unques-
tionably was made along that line
tho stand taken and the Germans
stopped. as they were on previous oc-
casions since the beginning OF the
great offensive. II Is estimated that
the enemy thsew as many as thirteen
divisions into the attack along a IL
mile front, but despite his continued
furious assaults was held almost in
his very tracks. At a few points there
were a few slight penetrations by the
Germans but the line was largely rec
titled last night. Last nights BATH
ing resulted in the French driving the
Germans from the remainder of the
small stretches of ground that had
been gained by them in their initial
drives during the day.

and accepting positions elsewhere af-
terward, without much loss Of time,
too.
The United States employment serv-
ice, which is responsible for the mon
essential industry industry" order
touching unskilled workmen in Wash
ington, is blamed by telephone Of
ficials for some of its troubles. This
bureau, il is stated, advert ises on
blaclSboards and in Other ways for
operators at higher wages than the
company is now able to pay and the
operators are thus lured to leave
their positions.
Many of the girls, il is said. seem
to feel that they are serving the Gov
ernment more fully II working for II
directly than working for the tele-
phone company, although telephone
officials point out to them that there
is no more essential war industry
than the telephone. especially in the
Nations Capital, the artery for Of
fetal communications to all parts of
the country.
May BE Matter - Wages.
Mr. Burleson's assistants will no
doubt have to determine whether the
serious Gripping of telephone busi-
ness here by the departure of trained
girls is one of wages, and act accord
ingly. The local situation is pretty
well understood by Mr.. Burleson and
his assistants.
The minimum wages paid OF girl
operators in Washington does not
average up to the minimum paid by
the Government for exactly the same
work in its branch exchanges, nor
to the salaries paid for clerical work
Of the lower grades. The telephone
company now requires 1900 girls to
handle the enormous business OF
Washington. inexperienced women
cannot be used. They must first be
trained to their duties, requiring
much time and patience. The loss to
the company in the departure OF girls
who have been in training for weeks
is naturally considerable
The wages paid the girl beginners
is 5000 per week while they are be-
ing trained, and increases with their
experience. Including the extra work
done by them in an entire year. how
ever, the best they can do is to aver
age $50 per month, or $720 per year.
After the first year they can. by extra
work. increase this to as high as $50
per month for the best and most
skilled operators.
