TILTED BY FIANCEE,
WEEDS HER SISTER
BWfind Had Invited Guests for the
Ceremony and He Would Not
Disappoint Them.

John Burfnd, wealthy apple grower
Of Ritzville, Wash, believes with the
author of a current Broadway pro-
duction that it is possible for two
female beings to be so nearly the
spiritual, intellectual and physical
counterparts Of each other as to be
practically indistinguishable to any
interested third party.
Burflnd came out of the West a
month ago to marry Miss Kathryn
RUBY Of No. 226 Cooper Avenue,
Glendale. whom he had met while
serving in the navy during the war.
They obtained a license at the
Queens Borough bureau and, setting
Nov. IA as the nuptial date, inserted
an announcement of their engagement
in the papers, invited two-score OF
guests and ordered a. Glendale caterer
to bake an immense wedding cake.
Three weeks ago there developed a
lovers quarrel, and Miss Rupy
brought the debate to a close with the
trite but cogent statement that after
what had Rppened she could be q
sister to him-and nothing more.
"Since that is the way you feel" ne
is reported to have remarked, the best
play left for me to make is to find a
girl as near like you. 1t seems a
shame 10 dlsappoint all those guests,
and besides there is that big cake we
ordered"
Within a week he was engaged to

TO Get TOGETHER is IT FORM OF FLU?
Observation-Disclosures Plan
Conference on Reservations.
VIII Meet When Democrats
Have Picked Leader.

Washington, Jan. 13.-The next step
in senate negotiations for a Treaty
compromise is expected soon after the
Democratic caucus Thursday, when Z
floor leader is to be selected.
A joint meeting of Democrats and
Republicans at which general discus
sion will take place will probably be
called. Such a meeting has already
been tentatively arranged. From
forty to fifty senators are expected to
attend.
Those behind this plan believe nego-
tiations now have reached a stage
where a free interchange of views in
a bipartisan conference of senators
honestly seeking ratification would do
much to unity the treaty's real friends
The reason the conference may be
delayed until after the Democrats
choose their leader Thursday, is that
some senators think that If Under
wood, Alabama, is elected, he will
prove much more energetic in behalf
of compromise than Senator Hitch
cock, the acting leader. and Under
woods rival for the honor.
Hitchcock Stays AIoof.
Hitchcock has been keeping aloof
from negotiations on the ground that
he, as President Wilson's spokesman
must take the same position as the
president and not appear to be con-
senting to any qualification of the
treaty.
