FRANCE To TUNE
Of NENOELSOHN
Better Ole" Rendezvous Sees
Dutch" WaIen, Jazz Player.
Wed to Mary Mccaffrey.

The ragtime kid at the music box
right out Of Dan McGrew's own
stuff-heard the Rose OF Washing
ton Square" played as a battle cry
yesterday afternoon. The tune had
strictly marital meaning. rhythmi-
cally happy enough. and yet touched
with a note of regret-regret Of
bachelor days gone blooey.
Before a collection Of Washington
bohemians. known az patrons Of The
Better Ole, Greenwich Village
parking spot located in an alley at
| the rear Of the Burlington Hotel.
Dutch" Walen. orchestra leader
and maker of super jazz. completed
two weeks romance at an altar
formed by a models platform.
The from-midnight-on crowd saw
Dutch, known to his home town
folks as Frederick J. r.. take Miss
Mary e. McCaffrey as his bride. Miss
McCaffrey has been an employe OF
the Vacuum Cup Tire headquarters
here-not very BOhenfan, but IA
dies must i've"
As Dutch stepped down the dark
stairway with the rope banisters
from the garage loft where he start
ed and completed his whirlwind court
ship, he left behind a record about
which club members will continue
to chatter over the candle filled green
bottles for more than few ginger
ale revels to come.
You 'aven't card!
Why. dearie, Dutch was playing at
the piano one night two weeks ago.
The place was filled with folks. some
of 'em newcomers. Dutch was bang
ing away at the "Rose OF Washing
ton Square," when he found her
Mary. Dutch played like million
the rest of the night-when he
wasn't dancing.
That was two weeks ago. Last
night Dutch was playing the same
tune again, when he suddenly stopped
right in the middle and announced.
Boys, I'm gonna get married tomor-
row."
Dutch's friends started Immediate
ly to arrange for the stepping Off:
They fixed the place up with special
decorations, helped him through the
ring and license process yesterday
morning. and finally CREASED the skids
for the launching this afternoon. The
Rev. Jay johnson Dimon offfciated.
Virginia Mickey Robinson and
the three daughters OF DR.. Gerry
Morgan helped swell the crowd at
the ceremony. Leslie M. Sheriff was
the best man and Miss Betty Tibbetts
attended the bride. A real Bohemian
supper cluttered the implanted tables.
Dutch and Mary left in a taxi and
a cloud of the usual tissue brick
brats.
Dutch was whistling something or
other. The man who runs garage
downstairs thought 1t was the Same
darned tune he'd heard q lot lately.

Posse Scours Countryside Afte'
Prisoner Gets Away at
Fairfax.

As six other prisoners looked on,
William H. Oehlert, thirty-five
years old, of Alexandria. early this
morning made daring escape from
the Jail at Fairfax, Va, where he
was being held for the action Of the
grand jury for the staying Of Henry
Briscoe, also Of Alexandria, on Oc-
tober Is.
Jailer Makes Discovery.
Discovery OF Oehlert's escape was
made at Z o'clock this morning when
Harvey Cross, jailor. went to the cell
occupied since the shooting by Oehlert
to give him his breakfast. But to his
surprise he found his quarry had
flown.
Within a short time an alarm for
the capture Of the fugitive was sent
out by Cross and Sheriff ]. r. Allison
and posses, armed with revolvers and
shot guns, secured the surrounding
countryside. Up to noon. however. the
alleged slayer had not been captured.
Believed in Capital.
1t is the opinion of Sheriff Allison
and Tailor Cross that Oehlert had con-
federates who assisted him in his
escape. probably spiriting him to
Washington in an automobile after he
got out of the jail.
Sheriff Had Premonition.
Sheriff Allison had a premonition
last night that Sehlert was planning
to escape, and accompanied by Jailer
Cross he searched the prisoner and
the cell for hacksaws and keys which
1t was thought may have been
passed to him.
I'm not going to escape, sheriff"
Oehlert declared. as the officials
went through his pockets. TN going
to face the court because 1 shot in
self-defense."
According to the other prisoners in
the Jail Oehlert made his escape
shortly after Sheriff Allison and Cross
left the prison. Cross lives at the Jail,
and he was in bed asleep when Oehlert
picked the lock of his cell door. Walk
ing into the corridor, the cell being on
the second top floor of the Jail, Oehlert
sawed through an inch bar overhead,
and then, getting out Of the cage"
sawed another bar of q window. He
then leaped out Of the window to the
ground and freedom four feet below.
Oehlert was held at the Jail for the
Staying OF Briscoe on the Camp
Humphreys road, near the farm OF
Pierce Reed, in Fairfax county. The
shooting was the outcome Of an auto
truck, owned by Briscoe and driven
by r. p. Cralle, blocking the road in
front of Briscoe's farm. Briscoe was
getting mail from a rural delivery
letter box when a large touring car.
operated by Edward Patterson, came
up. An argument between the men
followed because of the blocking Of
the road, and soon after Oehlert with
Richard c. Burnett arrived.
Words passed between the men
and suddenly there was flash Of
fire, and Briscoe fell to the roadway.
He was taken to the Alexandria
Hospital, but died a short time later.
Oehlert was arrested and g. jury sum-
moned by Coroner w. l. Robey held
him for the action Of the grand
jury. He was being held in the jail
for the grand inquest when he es-
capped.

Trees in City Park

Workmen are busy setting out
young trees in the park to take
the place of the old gnarled, dead
and dying trees which have been
removed.
Some OF the grand old trees
which have given us welcome shade
for so many years have not lost
their vigor and are left standing
but young thrifty trees are being
set which will take their places
when they succumb to age and
the elements.
Our park with its inviting shade
and the cool freshness of it's carpet
of green is one of the most sought
after trysting places Of our little
city, and its beauty and usefulness
will be preserved even although
many Of it's faithful old sentinels
have been laid low.
