Weddings as You Wait

GREENWICH. Conn, Sept. 12.-
Greenwich, which has forged to the
front of late rs marriage license
town, is likely to prove less attractive
TO young couples from now on
Justices Of tho peace here to-day re-
ceived copies of the amendment to the
act concerning marriage licenses,
adopted by the Connecticut Legislature
at it's last session, prohibiting justices
Of the peace from issuing any more GER
tificatcs to the town clerk waiying the
fve-dsys notice clause in cases where
persons making application for a
license are not residents of the town.
Crfder the law as amended, the town
clerk cannot issue license until five
days after application has been made,
unless the judge of probate for the dis
trict in which the marriage is TO take
place. after hearing evidence, renders a
decision in favor of the applicants.
Every examination made by a probate
judge will be thorough, it is said

Operators Deny
Secret Railroad
And Ship Pacts
Charges Made by Senator
Jones Are Declared Mere
GeneraIities: Specific
Instances Are Demanded

Charges made by Senator Wesley l..
Jones, of Washington, in a report to
Chairman Albert y. Lasker that secret
pacts between American railroads and
foreign steamship companies were re-
sponsible for tying UP the great bulk
of United States Shipping Board ves-
sells, were not confirmed by inquiries =
made yesterday among American and
foreign ship operators in this city.
The operators interviewed were prac-
tically unanimous in their declaration
that the chairman Of the Senate Com
mitee on Commerce and authAr of
dulging in generalities, and that until
specific cases we're made public doubt
would be cast upon his allegations.
Further, they assert that all agree
ments are filed with the Interstate Com
merce Commission and therefore are
open at all times to the public, and
while some Of them admit that such
contracts we're in existence before the
war, they insist there are none now, or
at least that they are isolated in char
acter and few in number.
There may be few isolated tariffs
in effect, to-day said one of the best
informed operators of United States
ships in this city yesterday afternoon
"Railroad rates at presens are not
preferential rates, hut are regular
rates, and while there were special
importing and exporting rates and
through import tariffs Defore the war
they do not exist now. Senator Jones
should be specific in his charges and
not indulge in generalities, because al
agreements between railroads and
steamship lines must be filed with the
Interstate Commerce Commission and
be open for inspection of the public.
An interview with one of the largest
foreign companies corroborated this
statement.
81 do not know personally OF sin
gle foreign company in this port that
has such an agreement with any rail
road" said an official of this line, "and
I know positively that our company has
none. Senator Jones may refer TO
Southern or Pacific ports, but New
York is free from such pacts, to the
best Of my knowledge and belief. Mr.
Lasker will no doubt make public the
specific cases, but until he does so we
are forced to doubt the authenticity
of ti1a c!rt1r-as uradn by his informant"

Gated the substance Of Governor Ed
wards's statement as above, and Mr.
Goidenhorn made the following reply:
"Governor Edwards states that he in
vIted me to produce my witnesses. He
is mistaken about this. He never in
vited, nor would he see, witnesses
had who would have shown conclu-
styely that George Brandon was inno-
cent. Mrs. Brandon tried to do this;
tried by telegram and telephone to
have this done, and | confess dil not

now, why the Governor was so obdu

sci John Milton. | told Mr.. Milton
that would like to see the Governor,
and that | would like to have the Gov
ernor interview Jack Riley, a reporter,

"Mr. Nemser and | offered to go to
the Governor with Mr. Milton. but Mr..
milton advised US to go back to my
office and he would phone me- We
went back, and about an hour after
ward he called me on the phone and
told me that the Governor would not
hear or see any one.
Mr.. Milton had barely le7t the
phone when former Senator Swack

Nj, and asked me about the reprieve.

that he would make an appointment

bers of the American syndicate, has
lived in Paris for the last eight or ten
years. He is q son-inl2w of the late
Milton Smith, formerly president of
the Louisville & Nashville Railroad.
My visits 10 Europe within the last
two years have been in connection with
the transaction now reported closed.
During those visits | inspected all the
properties now under our management.
The aim of the syndicate will be to as
certain which of these properties should
be sold and which should be retained
and continued in operation. The com
pensation of the syndicate will be de-
rived from their holdings in the Geneva
Trust Company, which will benefit from
any liquidation proceedings or profit
able operation of the unsold proper
ties"
Included in the estates are thirteen
palaces, as we'll as many apartment
houses and other forms of improved
realty One of the principal items is
the Albertina Art Galleries, in Vienna,
said to be the finest and most valuable
of all art collections. 1t contains more
than 10000 pictures, in which all the
great masters are represented.
Many of the holdings are free and
being operated without hindrance by
the various governments, Mr.. Replogle
said. To M. Viviani has been intrusted
the task of having the remainder of
the properties released. 1t is asserted
that under Article 20s of the Treaty of
ST. German, providing for the confs-
cation of all estates of reigning royal
families NJ. viviani should be success
ful in his efforts in that the Archduke
Frederick and his son have never been
a reigning family.
Before the war Archduke Frederick
was considered one of the richest three
men in Europe. The others were the
Gar Nicholas Of Russia and one of the
Roth schilds. Because of their decision
to turn over their holdings to the
American group it is understood that
the Americans paid to the archduke
and his family a substantial sum Of
money. This was made necessary be-
cause the archducal income had been
practically cut off in the readiustment
of European finances growing out of
the World War

State Department Approval
Not Needed in Transaction

WASHINGTON, Sept. 12-Property
and concessions acquired by American
interests from Archduke Frederick of
Austria and his family may be ex-
pected to have the protection of the
American government that property
similarly acquired in other countries
is accorded, it was indicated officially
to-day.
Officials took lively interest in the
article published to-day, but it was de-
MED that the Administration had given
any assurance that the transaction bv
the Americans had been approved by
the State Department. The acquisition
by the syndicate of the property. it
was stated, did not call for anv ap
proval from the government, as it was

Naval Negotiations
Satisfactory to U. S.

Washington, Dec. 2.-(By The AS.
soc,ated neutrality-suspicious. over
the naval program, according to the
feeling in American arms conference
circles today, are proceeding salts
factorily.
The four American delegates, meet
ing to-day, went over the situation as
it stands. Afterward, it was said
that the Americans were we'll salts
fed with the turn the naval discus
sions were taking and were hopeful
that the American Limitation program
would be received favorably. A more
definite status, however, was said to
be improbable before next week.
1t was suggested today in British
circles that the Anglo Japanese al
lance inevitably would come into
the naval discussion, if it had not al
ready done so, despite the apparent
intention OF the British delegation
to press for naval agreement not
rependent on the outcome of the Far
Eastern questions. The naval ques-
ton is said to have been considered
at conference yesterday between
Baron Kata and Arthur L. Balfour
and it is regarded among the dele
gates as entirely likely that the al
lance was one of the important
questions of their questions.
