Hitchcock Denies Report.
A report that President Wilson was
TO take an active part in the treaty
developments by comforting this week
with Senator Hitchcock, of Nebraska
minority leader in charge Of the Ad-
ministration's fight, was denied by
Senator Hitchcock. He said that he
had made no appointment to see the
President and did not expect 20 see
him during the week unless the White
House believed it necessary to call
upon him.
Senator Hitchcock has been confined
to his home by a severe cold and he
said Yesterday that he did not think
that he would leave his residence
FOR at least several days.

NO HIGH RENTS HERE
Camp Sites Offered On State Reserves
Attractive Locations to All.

High rents and the proffteer have
no terrors for those who can take ad-
vantage of State Forester F. w. Bes-
ley's offer to spend their va
cations on the Maryland For
est Reserves. Nothing has gone up
because of the war, for everything is
free. These lands are now thrown
open under easy conditions to all
residents of the state, and Mr.. Bes-
ley says that this is the time to make
all reservations for the summer sea-
son.
AS many know, and as a great many
do not know, the state owns outright
in Garrett county nearly 5000 acres
CT forest and mountain lands. In
Baltimore county, along the Patapsco
River, i 900 acres more are owned by
the state. with an equal area, state
managed, open for camping on the
same terms as the reserves them
-e,lves There is no other spot In
Maryland where beautiful, healthful
surroundings may be had for the ask
ing, free.

lives in Baltimore, the Patapsco Re-
serve will make a strong appeal.
The Patapsco Reserve borders the
river between Relay and Hollofeld,
and it is a naturally beautiful region.
Camping sites are readily reached by
train, trolley or automobile, and
thirty minutes ride and a few cents
fare are all that any Baltimorean re-
quires to enjoy it. Several hundred
sites have already been laid out here
by the Board of Forestry. They
command not only a good view but
also wood and water. On the re
serve, the Board is represented by a
resident Warden, E. G. Prince of IL
chester. The State Forester may be
reached at his Office, 532 N. Howard
street, by telephoning Mt Vernon
1856, and the local Warden by calling
Gainesville SO r. In either case,
there is no delay in granting camp
ing sites absolutely free to bona fide
applicants.
If you have a week or two at your
disposal, or live further west in the
state, the 5000 acres embraced in the
Garrett County Reservations offer
equal attractions with slightly lar

BRIDE BARTER MART LURED
RICH VICTIMS
Bureau Picked Wives For Handsome
Adventurers-Preyed On Young And
Old.

Bureau Picked Wives For Handsome
dventurers-Preyed On Young And
Old.
A new swindle game, by which
wealthy brides are won by gallant
young adventures, who seek only
their victims money, is under inves-
tigation in New York.
Progress thus far made indicates
that a bartered brides mart really
exists here and that it is operated by
a small clique Of men who make their
Headquarters in one of the most fash
ionable and expensive hotels in that
city.
This coterie OF grating match
makers appears, on the face of re-
ports, and evidence already CLEANED,
to be composed principally OF type
of adventures thrown constantly with
women of wealth in such places ae
hair-dressing parlors, dressmak!nS
establishments and in some of TIE
most expensive hotels in the city
The scheme is this: The male hair
dresser. for instance, picks out an
eligible victim from among the pa
irons he serves He reports TO the
clique. There are usually two prime
requisites, aside from the woman 5
money and the fact that she IS IN
attached. She must be either ad-
vanced in years or young girl VINO
is chatting under restrictions or I'M
happy conditions in her home
These two types the sWlndlers ap-
Darently find are the most susceptible
to the wiles OF the handsome young
adventures picked to WOO and WIN
them.
Usually, according to the reports,
an agreement is made between the
conspirators. The men in the clique
furnish the gallant with sufficient
funds to entertain the intended VIC
tim lavishly, to shower her with
flowers and gifts and to press the
matter to the altar.
And usually, when the romance
reaches an advanced stage, there IS
also an agreement between the Wooer
and the bride-elect-a pre-nuptlal
understanding about money. The
marriage performed, the settlement
made. the adventurer splits the purse
won with the man who picked the
victim.
When the income from match"
ceases, the perpetrator of 1t loses in
terest and casts about for further
victims. The Observation-Disclosures
having repaid his debt to the chooser
of his bride, elects himself whether 1t
is worth while to continue IN the
marital estate or to preclpltate
shattering of the romance
There are indications that several
Young men with foreign titles are
taking part in the bartered bride
game.
Those making the investigation have
encountered many obstacles in clfnch-
ing any specific violations of the law
against swindlers Each step Of the
game is taken in legal way, but by

ger amount of woods, mountains, and
very real wild life The Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad also makes these
places easy to reach, Oakland and Hut
ton being the proper places for de-
training. From June first to October
thirty-tirst, there is a special rate
from Baltimore. A. T.. Sines Of Oak
land, the local Forest Warden is pre-
pared to act as guide, instructor, or
landlord to the satisfaction of all who
may take up a residence there for the
summer. Drinking water, fuel, fish
ing and swimming and boating are
conveniently at hand. This is the
highest part of Maryland, the most
densely wooded, and practically the
only place where ideally primitive
conditions still remind one of those
which were once found all over Mary
land. Applications for the Garrett
County camp sites should be address,
ed to Mr.. Besley at Baltimore. The
best sites will go to those who act
now.
