INDIANS BRIDE
WE'D TO ANOTHER.
ASKS ANNULMENT
First Indian Wedding Is
Failure; But Indian
Boy Loves Her

Judge Mayfield s first Indian mar,
riage has proven a failure. According
to an application for IN annulment Of
marriage filed in county clerk s office
yesterday, the "Indian' marriage per-
Mayfield, didn t take, or rather it took
too well.
On August %, Gerald II. Dewey and
Estella Breat, Yuma Indians, procured
a marriage license at the county clerk s
office and were subsequently married
by Judge Mayfield, who remarked at
the time that during his tenure of
office he has married all sorts of pco-
pie, but this was his first Indian mar
riage. Apparently Gerald and Estella
left for Yuma, happy in their new
found bliss, and it shocked the officials
at the courthouse yesterday to find
that Gerald had filed application for an
annulment.
According to the document Estclla
was previously married under the laws
of Arizona to George Breat, another In
dian, who was subject to wanderlust,
and frequently was gone from his wig
wan for many moons. Upon his return
from one of his absences, George in
formed Estella that he had divorced her
and they were no longer man and wife.
Then Gerald came on the scene. 1t is
said he was formerly married under
the Yuma tribal laws, but apparently
that doesn't count Anyhow Gerald
wooed Estella and their marriage
speedily followed.
On returning to Yuma, Breat ap'
peared on the scene, said he was fooling,
and had never been divorced from Es-
tella, and demanded that she return
to him. strange affair, it was
Estella loving Gerald, and Gerald low
ing Estella, with George sitting into
the game unasked, and the tribal wife
of Gerald left out in the cold entirely
Upon talking the matter over, Gerald
and Estella decided that an annulment
of their marriage was yne proper thing
pro TEN, hence the action taken yester
day.
In his application for annulment
Gerald says he still loves Estella and
is willing to'pay alimorE after the an
nulment until such time as she ear
obtain a divorce from Breat, and then
she and Gerald plan to be married
again, and are going to be absolutely
certain that the ceremony is absolute

Gossip Is Heard
PREACHER INNOCENT
Every Member of Church to
Be Called in Effort
to Find Clues
Uusted Press Leased Wire

NEW BRUNSWICK, n. j., Sept. %.
-" Find the woman.
This was the order today in the in
vestigatiQn of the murders of the Rev.
Edward w. Hall, rector of the fashion
able church of st. John the Evangelist,
and his choir leader, Mrs. ESinor Mills.
Investigators devoted their efforts to
finding the "jealous woman who, i.
is reported, gossiped with church mem
bers regarding alleged intimacy of the
clergyman and Mrs. Mills. This wc
IMAM is said to have informed Mills,
sexton of the church,, that he should
keep close watch on his wife.
If she can be found, police believe
they will have located the woman who
wrote love notes to Hall and who might
have been so maddened by jealousy
that she would commit murder. Mills
was summoned by detectives today to
be questioned as the identity of the
woman who told him of the gossip.
The woman ander investigation, ac'
cording to investigators, started the
congregation abuzz with trashy"
tales concerning the association of the
millionaire minister and the wife of
the sexton. The 'choir loft - gossip
it was said, went the rounds of the
church.
Mills stated that he was greatly con
cerned and worried when the gossip
first reached his ears.
81 didn't know what to think at
first, the sexton stated. 81 trusted
my wife and the Rev. Hall and hardly
believed that anything could be wrong
but still the stories set me thinking.
81 decided to do what the Rev. dali
has so often told us from the pulpit
that if person HAS anything against
a brother in the church, go to him for
an understanding.
''After thinking things over and
praying, l went to my pastor.
81 found him in the study and after
much hesitation told him what | had
heard and asked him if it were true.
Why, of course not,'' he said.
" My interest in Mrs. Mills is only
that of one Christian for another--that
of a pastor for member of his flock.
"After he told me that, l felt asham-
ed of myself. ] asked his forgiveness
for ever letting the gossips put such
a notion in my head. He forgave me
readily and | left his study and came
home and kissed Elinor | did not tell
her had momentarily doubted her, but
/ guess she could tell. -
Prosecutor Stricken stated today that
he planned to question everyone of the
church members to trace down the sus-
pect in the crime.

between the British and Turks.

But the British troops, backed by
the guns of the fleet, are ready for
any eVentuality.
The British troops have been placed
in three sectors as follows:
/, At Chanak, the key-city of the
narrowest part of the Dardanelles. The
Turks must take this position before
they can force a crossing of the straits.
Strong British attachments are en-
senched there, and behind them lies
long line of destroyers ready to give
the soldiers artillery support.
2 At the Ismid peninsula. This
peninsula, about 80 miles wide, is tho
only means of approach by land to the
Bosphorns and Constantinople. The
British entrenehed themselves at many

drop huge shells anywhere within "a

TREMENDOUS CONFLICT AT
HAND.

1 The cold blooded murder Of pc
| liceman at Milton, Mass, BY members
Of "a gang of thieves who had stoler
an automobile and were disinantlins
Hit Of its easily salable parts, indi
Gates what a food Of criminal passions
has been unloosed on the world as the
result of the war and the wars after
math. A small portion of the Worlds
scum think no more Of taking human
life than they do Of stealing d mans
automobile. They steal an automobile
as if it were a piece Of candy and If
anyone presumes to interfere with
| them in the satisfying Of their de-
mands for money they shoot down
those persons just as they would cut
down a tree, which might stand in
the way Of their plans. The unleash
ing Of these major criminal instincts
is something to arouse the indiqna-
tion Of the part of the world which
has not gone crazy since 1914, and it
is something to arouse demand,
strong and persistent, that every Eff
fort be put forth to thrust back into
cowed restraint all those evil in
stincts. The Milton policeman repre-
scented law and order. Against him
was an anarchy of the worst sort
every man law unto himself and
without the least self restraint or
consideration for others. The Milton
episode was only one of many that
have sprung up in various parts Of
the country, a. well as Of the world,
after the blood orgy Of The World
war.
TO put down the spirit back Of these
occurrences means that decent society
must wage tremendous conflict.
There can be no half hearted participa-
tion in this warfare. 1t must be de-
concerted effort on the part |
Of every law-abiding person wherever
he may be, to the end that the evil
Instincts of mankind be driven back
nto the restraint from which they
we're released by the outbreak of war
There must be no maudlin sentiment
atty about this matter. The mon
ter of crime is reaching ont with
,ory hands for fresh victims and even
or smothering decent society. The
lideous creature deserves no consid-
ration, and the individual ninions Of
hat monster must be treated with I'M
yavering justice every time hey RE
