SENSATIONAL Scene AT CHURCH Al TAR!
NANCE ABBOTT HALTS WEDDING CEREMONY
SOCIETY DISCUSSES
PROBABLE OUTCOME
OF SEA ROMANCE

VIII Nance Abbott return TO
the man she married on the high
seas and accompany him on his
journey to Australia, or will she
retire into seclusion in an effort
to forget her amazing expert
ences OF the past several
months?
That is the question which is
buzzing throughout the exclu-
sive West End social set this
afternoon. In clubs and salons,
where many of the guests who
were present this morning at st.

lowing the interrupted wedding,
Miss AbbOtt's future plans were
the main topic of conversation.
The consensus OF opinion seems
to point to a reconciliation be
tween Seaton, or Blair Cornwall.
and Miss Abbott. It is definitely
known that Cornwall is to sail
for Australia this afternoon, and
that Miss Abbott has disappeared
from her home.
Whether or not Miss Abbott
will meet him at the liner, or has
already joined him, or intends to
do neither, is the question which
society hopes to see answered
within the next twenty-fOur
hours

WHITE LIE" SAYS
PROMINENT MEN
Recent Controversy on Necessity
For Absolute Truth Recalled
by Chase-Abbott Case

The unusual romance revealed this
morning by Nance Abbott, in which
she stated that her entire misfortunes
could be directly traced to a series of
falsehoods precipitated by circum-
stances, again brings up the recent
heated controversy as to lust what
elementary force. passion or perhaps
belief, is responsible for the falsehood
that is all too frequently committed
by mankind"
The answers given by number Os
the nations most prominent men are
interesting for the purposes of analy-
ing the present case.
No Compromise With Principle
Josephus Daniels believes that:
TOO large a part of the world
agrees with the boy who, when asked
the definition of a lie, said: 1t is a
very pleasant help in time of need
But he found later that the help was
only temporary and the injury perma-

OF ALL CHARACTER IS FRANK
NESS. GENUINENESS AND TRUTH.
When a man tells lie he has TO tell
a hundred to cover that one up, and
very soon what he called the white
lie has produced brood OF black lies
which engulf him"
Fear Cause Of Lies

grown to remarkable size and import
ance since 1902, when the late Col. j.
c. Dozier came to Baton Rouge and

ground furnishes 500 people with oc-
cupation.

tured boxes and crates to be used SOLE
ly for the shipment of fresh and
smoked meats. Now, owing to the
great demand for receptacles for ship
ping sweet potatoes, a special con-
