M0RGANATIC MARRIAGE
lOF GREEK KING REPORTED
Alexander Said to Have Wed
Friend Of His Youth-Up-
poses Premier.

PARIS. May 24.-King Alexander OF
Greece IL reported here to have been
married morganatically to Mile.
Manos, daughter of q former aid :
camp to his father. King Constantine.
The Greek legation in Paris has re-
fused to CONFIRM or deny this report.
King Alexanders marriage Is said
to have been the elimination of a
boyhood friendship. and occurred be-
fore he was in a direct line to the
throne and while his chances for sue
ceeding his father appeared most re-
mote.
The king and his wife are living at
the same hotel here. and yesterday
went to Versailles. where they
luncied together and visited tho gar
dens.
Reports here impute the kings visit
to Paris to desire on the part of
Premier venizelos Of Greece for a
separation of the king from his
reputed morganatic wife, SO that he
may marry q princess of royal blood.
The king 10 said to have left Athens
quite in accord with his premier's 8
point of view, but is declared to have
undergone a change Of mind since hi 9
arrival here.
The marriage ceremony, it is as
serted. was performed by q priest of
the Greek Church, but was no record
ed with the metropolitan OF Athens,
the supreme eccelesiastic authority In
Greece. This Is the explanation for
the fact that no record of the cere-
mony is available.

CHICAGO. Ill. May 23.-In assem-
bling at Chicago in June the repub-
lican national convention Will be sit
ting in tho section where the repub-
lican party was first named and with
in 200 miles OF where the first record
ed republican meeting was held sixty
six years ago. The approach of the
convention recalls this early history,
though with the passing Of the years
and the development Of new issues
the first steps of the party have
passed from common view.
1T will probably not be possible to
trace to the earliest date the first
positive meeting which led to the for

that there was no considerable gath
ering of men. nor discussion of plans
and policies. until Mr. A. e. Bovay, a
whlg of Ripon. Wis. together with a
Mr.. Bowen, a democrat. and a Mr..
Baker, q free-soiler, issued a call for
public meeting to consider the now
alarming situation"
Slavery Issue Of the Hour.
The great issue Of the hour was the
extension of slavery. OF the political
situation prefacing the formation of
the republican party Mr.. Curtis says:
No political party was able to elect
eHOus UeTS OI SOnETe IS To over
rule the united will of the slavehold
ers. and until the anti-slavery senti-
ment of the north should be so weld
ed together. and it's exponents should
be so united in one party as to be able
to send to Washington enough men
to outvote the representatives of the
slave power, there was no hope that
it's advance could be checked"

meeting by Henry Wilson. when Vice

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Rice produces Its largest yields on
clay soils that are not too deficient In
organic matter. The land selected fof
rice culture should lie In level tracts
that can be cheaply drained.
The crop requires an abundant and
always available supply Of fresh wa.
ter, and to obtain good yields of high.
grade rice ample drainage facilities
must be provided.
The surface soil OF the seed bed
should be loose and finely pulverized
to depth of at least two inches.
The field levees should he low, broad,
and permanent and constructed on con-
tour lines at distances which will hold
the water at an average depth Of five
inches. They also should be seeded to

Recess Appointments cf President Wilson

FAILURE of congress to act on near
ly 200 executive appointments be-
fore adjournment. combined with
number of vacancies now existing, or
expected to occur soon in government
al departments and the diplomatic
service. is expected to lead to a num-
ber of recess appointments by Presi-
dent Wilson. While the larger portion
of the unconfirmed nominations are
postmasters of the lower grades, APP
polntments to number of important
offices were not acted on by the
senate.
The president began the work of
making these recess appointments
promptly. The first to be made were
those of Henry Jones Ford OF New
Jersey, Mark w. Potter of New York
and James Duncan OF Massachusetts.
20 be members of the Interstate com
merce commission. The appointees to
the interstate commerce commission
were nominated before adjournment,
but the senate failed to act on
them. When they take office all
vacancies on the commission Will have
been filed. including the two new
places created by the transportation
act. which Increased the membership
from nine to eleven.

Tries to Give Away Platt National Park

D LATT National park In Oklahoma
was established In 1902. II con-
tains but s4S acres. 1t has sulphur
and bromide springs Of medical value.
Last year 1t attracted about 25.OO0 Wis.,
itors, most of them from the adjacent
city OF Sulphur. So Plat is hardly
up to the standard of the national
pnrks. 1t is slated to be reduced to
a national monument.
In 1913 Plat got an appropriation
of $1,000. which has gradually been
decreased to $4,000 for fiscal year
1920. While the national park Items
in the sundry civil bill were being con
sidered in the house just before ad-
journment. Harreld of Oklahoma Of
fered an amendment increasing the
appropriation from $4,000 to $1,000.
Harreld did his best to prove that
II was wonder ms a beauty spot. as
well as a health resort, but his main
argument was that the park was in n
deplorable condition and that as long
as 1t remained n natural park It was
the duty of the federal government to
keep II up in decent shape. McKeown
of Oklahoma backed up his colleague
aud argued that the increase should
be $1,000
Then Good of Iowa, chairman of the
appropriations committee. offered a
substitute amendment which provided
for. II transfer OF the park to the stnte
Of Oklahoma and, In case OF the failure

or refusal of Oklahoma to accept the
park. for the sale OF the park either
by sealed proposals or by public auc-
tIon, the proceeds to go to the treas
ury.
Mann OF Illinois made point OF
order. holding that the Good amend
ment was legislation. Good replied
that 1t was legislation under the Hol-
man rule and to the surprise of every
one rend from the act creating the
park section providing that tire fed.
eral government was not committed
to the expenditure of money on the
park, as 1t was the intention to convey
the park to whatever state should be
formed out of the then Indian terri
tory.
Mann's point OF order was sustained
and Hnrreid's amendment was passed.
SO Platt National park gets a stay of
sentence and an Increased appropria-
ton.

actly the same kind OF work and are
not correlated and co-ordinated except
through congress. In addition to the
three constitutional branches of gov
ernment there has grown up a fourth
government by bureaus. boards and
