SHE FO|LS 'JA|L0RS;'
Webs HER CHOICE
Woman, SO, Kept Virtual Pris'
oner by Family, EIopes With
Rockville Merchant.

Objections by her family. which
finally led to alleged virtual i'm
prisonment, did not stop Miss Jane
Florence Clagett, thirty-eight years
old, of Glen, Nd, from marrying
Harry g. Poss, forty-nine years old
prosperous business man OF Rock
vile. The marriage took place Sat
urday night in the rectory OF ct.
Mary's Catholic Church. the Rev,
John T. Coolahan performing the
ceremony. The brides sister, Mrs
John w. Stephens. OF Rockville, who
has stood by her sister through the
entire controversy, was the only at
tcndant.
The courtship Of Poss and Miss
Clagett started about year ago.
1t had hardly begun before the
brides mother, Mrs. Mary Il. Clsgett,
and the brides brother Ebert T.
C!agett. interposed objections. What
the objections were has not been
made public. Poss is reputable
business man Of Rockville and has
amassed considerable money in the
sale Of horses. carriages. and in
conducting livery stable. Miss
Clagett was the only unmarried
child OF Mrs. Clagett.
When II was seen that arguments
had no effect on her Miss Clagett
was kept virtual prisoner In
the big farmhouse OF her brother,
II Is said. Mrs. Stephens took sides
with her sister and finally appealed
to the circuit court OF Montgomery
county. instituting habeas corpus
proceedings. Before the litigation
came into open court truce was
effected between the family and Mrs.
stephens. Mrs. stephens then set
about arranging for an clopement,
but this was frustrated several days
ago.
Miss Clagett finally obtained per-
mission to visit friends in Rock
VILE. and left Saturday afternoon to
visit them. AZ soon as she arrived
in Rockville, Poss was waiting for
her and they went To the rectory
OF the Catholic Church and were
married.
MIR. and Mrs. poss decided to
sIcnd their honeymoon In Rockville,
and today II was said that her
family was resigned to the marriage.

SENATE TO OK.
'U.S. TREASURER
Guy r. Allen Will Be Confirmed
As New Money Chief Despite
G. o. P. Policy.

The Treasury Department vaults
present a busy scene these days, in
cident TO the change in the office
of the Treasurer Of the United
States. All the money in the vaults
is being counted, under tn esupervi-
sion of a committee headed by c. n.
McGroarty, chief Of the division Of
loans and currency.
CONFIRMATION ESSENTIAL.
Guy i. Allen, who has been appoint
| ed by the President To suteed John
Burke as treasurer OF the United
| states IL acting treasurer and will
In all probability be confirmed by the
senate In few days. Aliens APP
| pointment will be one OF the few CON
| firmed by the Senate. The reason
is not that the Senate has any par
ticular affection for Mr.. Allen, but
| the Treasurer OF the United states IL
| the only bonded officer In this office
and IL any theft was committed the
! Government could not look for rec
ompense TO any minor official or
clerk. The bond OF the treasurer Is
$3.50, 900 and the premium ON the bond
Is paid by the incumbent OF the
office.
Another perfunctory item in the re-
/ tircment of the Treasurer of the
| United States Will be the appeal to
Congress to appropriate money 10
make up the deficit in the Office. This
| has been done on several occasions,
and Allen, the Acting Treasurer, said
today that the shortage is now being
calculated with view Of sending II
! to Congress.
1t is understood that the shortage
in the office OF the Treasurer is re-
markably small considering the i'm
mense amount OF money he has dis
! bursed during the war and the mum
! Der OF disbursing officers located in
every part of the world. There is
pending in Congress an appeal for an
appropriation of about 900 for
! shortage incurred during the war and
| TO this probably will be added a few
| thousand dollars more for shortage
incurred since the actual hostilities
stopped.
The Bureau of Engraving and
| Printing Is preparing an engraving

Mr. Allen, which will be printed on
III United States money that il is
sued hereafter. The signature, how
ever will not be affixed to the money

JOBlESS TIDE
Labor Leaders Optimistic Over
Present Unemployment Crisis.
, Capital Outlook Bright.

Washington labor Is not suffer
ing from the serious unemployment
situation affecting various sections
of the country. according to the
opinions of local union leaders this
mining. On the other hand, while
no tremendous boom Is promised,
the builders and manufacturers OF
this city look forward TO a busy
spring and summer season.
BUILDING FAIR AND GOOD.
The building trades generally are
among the first to be affected by any
business depression, J. w, REYNOLDS
secretary OF the local Building Trades
Council, declared, and some OF the
craftsmen are out or work but
the unions OF the council are AZ
whole reporting business as "fair and
good"
~ would say that, In our trades. a
conditions are very much better than
they are reported TO be in many
cities. II is true we have some un-
employed, but we must consider That
this Is an off season OF the year for
us. A few of our workman have left
Washington in search OF work. Mr..
Reynolds said.
Charles Frazier, secretary OF the
q
working conditions must be consid-
cred fair when the general state OF
affairs IL taken into consideration. He
said that not any extensive unem-
ployment was reported from the mis-
cellaneous trades and the outlook was
hopeful.
CAPITAL LABOR DESTRUCTIVE.
Labor leaders point out that local
conditions are generally somewhat
different from prevailing condition,
because OF the max cup of this city
which cannot be classed as an in
dustrial center. large part OF the
employed class Is In the Government
service, where working conditions do
not fluctuate as in private industry.
There are no wage scales to raise or
lower and Federal employ .nent runs
long on an even basis Such condi-
ton Is in sense, 1t is declared. re-
Elected In private employment In
Washington.
+. II. Mealy, secretary OF the
Builders and Manufacturers Elk
change. declared that building has
slackened up considerably at present
in this city and as the result OF
which a number Of men were oLt of
employment, but he said it could not
be regarded as serious condition.
H0 said that considerable small JOBS
would keep many men busy through
the winter until spring. when he
hoped that the Government building
program would boom work in this
city.
Mr.. Mealy made an interesting suE-
g;estion for home owners and one
which would act to the mutual benefit
of the owner and the laborer He
said that because Of the lull in work
this would be the time Of the year for
people to have inside repairs made to
their homes. He said that men are
available just now and that the work
would be done at a more reasonable
cost than later on, when everyone
will be busy again.
According to Mr.. Meaiy, minor re-
pairs about Washington homes have
been greatly neglected during the
war. when it was next to impossible
to procure workmen.
