NOVEL MEETING in HUB
By the Associated Press

Washington, Feb. l9.--Wireless dis
patches to the White House today from
the transport George Washington in
dicated the ship was making such good
speed that she might drop anchor In
Boston Harbor Sunday night. In that
event President Wilson probably would
remain aboard, until Monday morning.
and deliver his address in Boston some
time that day.
The Boston speech, it is expected by
administration officials, will be confined
almost entirely TO an appeal to the coun-
try for support of the league or ma
tions.
1t was said today that the President
probably would utilize the opportunity
to take the public inso mis- confidence as
to the, need for suchNa league, but that
he would reserve any detailed explana-
ton of the articles of the proposed con-
stitution for his conferences with mem
bers of Congress and an address to Con-
gress on the subject, which he probably
will deliver soon after arrival in Wash
ington.
Secretary Tumulty has arranged TO
go to Boston Friday to complete ar
rangements for the Presidents address
and to be ready to confer with the Presl-
ueilt OH tlle slNudtlol dI nome.
To Greet Wilson by Radio Phone
Boston. Feb. 1o,--(By a. PD-Ar-
rangements for greeting President Will
'on by wireless telephone. as he APP
breaches the port aboard the steamship
George Washington for the visit he will
make here next Monday, were proposed
today by army officials.
Cooperating with radio research
laboratory, Major Foster Neitenhe'mer.
chief signal officer of the Northeastern
Department arranged the apparatus
that will be placed at the disposal of
Mayor Andrew j. Peters, to extend the
city's welcome.
The distance at which this greeting
can be given is uncertain, depending
largely on atmospheric conditions. it is
said, but it may be possible to reach
tho George Washington when she is
from $50 to $50 miles OF shore.
Whether the President can return the
greeting was a question unsettled to-
day, because of lack Of definite infor-
nation rega riding the equipment aboard
his steamship.
A radio telegraph set can be used to
receive a telephone conversation. and
low-range radio telephone set prob
ably will pick up the voice within 700
miles under good conditions. according
to Major Veitenheimer. but n high
powered telephone transmitting appa-
ratus is necessary for a conversation.
Major Veitenheimer said it was ex-
pected the George washington would
be within call of radio telegraph sta
tions tonight or tomorrow, and arrange
ments for the telephone welcome would
be completed by wireless telegraph as
soon as communication was established.

yesterday in upholding the lower court

The decision was rendered in the case

the keeping of liquor in ones home and
cannot prevent any one from bringing
liquor ito the state.
Some authorities last night construed
the ruling as taking out of the hands
of state officials power to prevent any
one bringing liquor into Michigan and
leaving such authority only with fed

law prohibiting such traffic into a dry
state.

NEWLY WEEDS BUILD
ADDITION TO BED
GROOM SEVEN AND BRIDE FIVE
FEET TALL. CARPENTER AS
NECESSARY AS MINISTER.

MIDDLEBURG, Pa.-"After a
mans married his troubles begin. "
The truth of this old saw is vouched
for by Henry E. Shallenburger, of
this city. Shallenburger, who is 7
feet 2 inches in height, recently
married Miss Alice Catherine Horn,
of Cleveland, Ohio, who strikes the
tape line just at the feet 3 inches
mark. Then
Their trouble began. An exhaust
i've search of the city's hotels and
rooming houses disclosed the fact
that there was not bed in town long
enough for the newlyweds. At IL
o'clock at night Shallenburger was
forced to rout a local carpenter from
his sleep and hire him to build two
foot addition to a bed which had
been purchased from local furnl-
ture establishment.
Shallenburger first met his present
wife while playing professional base
ball as a pitcher. Her laughter at his
awkward appearance and great height
caused him to "go up in the air" and
lose an important game. At the out
break of the world war he again met
Miss Horn, who was employed as a
typist in a recruiting office. Her
laughter at his appearance, he says,
caused him to be rejected. Finally
he was accepted for service in France
and was seriously wounded last July,
and returned for treatment at base
hospital. His nurse was Miss Horn,
who had been sent from the recruit
ing office into the nurses corps.
This time Miss Horn did not laugh,
but nursed the lengthy doughboy
back to health. 1t was as a culmlna-
ton of this romance covering two
continents that they were recently
married.
"No offer will induce me to go on
the stage" declared Shallenburger,
"No one but my wife can laugh at
my height"

company, which has just gone into
voluntary liquidation, paying share
holders $3.50 for every $15 invested.
Still overhead hang threats of a
strike of coal miners, railroad men
and transport workers, which have
several times reached a critical stage
and as often have been postponed,
chiefly by the adroitness and elo-
quence of Prime Minister Lloyd
George.
English Hysterical.
The Unconditional English are near
Mysteries. The London papers are
full of statements of manufacturers
and business men on one hand de-
claring that the increase on coal
means ruin to British industry, and
of labor union leaders on the other
that the increase is unwarranted and
is an attempt on the part of the
Tories to defeat public ownership of
coal mines and railroads.
Bonar Law has announced in the
house of commons that the govern
ment will take new steps to punish
food spectators and profiteers. He
has set aside next Monday for a de-
bate on the whole tremendous sub
ject.
