Carl Helm, of New York, offered to
cease giving publicity to the affairs
Of herself and the Oklahoma solon
and withdraw suit for 1000 II he
would put up $40 900 for the show in
which she is to be the bright parti-
Cular star. AT the. same time,
Manuel set forth, they well knew
they had not sued but were merely
trying to get $4,000 out of me-"
He has sufficient grievance
against Helm and Miss Niebel, he
stated further, to bring suit for
damage, but fears such action would
be stale, fiat and Improbable as far
as concerns cash returns. He con-
cluded permeptorily:
She's Ready for Wedding.
II flatly refused to have any deal.
lngs with these people of any kind
whatsoever"
On the other hand, Miss NiAbel was
politely positive Of the authenticity
of the suit, declaring II could be set
tied only in two ways, either by cash
compromise or marriage.
Yes, after all that has been said
and done in the newspapers" she
softly admitted, "and the harsh
things that have been said about me,
am still willing to marry him,
and IL he were TO say the word. the
ceremony would be performed tomor-
row.
She also said she and Manuel had
had conflict Of ambitions. she want.
ing him to come on the stage with
her and he wanting her to come to
the wide plains of Oklahom1, where

OF these alternatives Il com.

claimed as he sat immersed in the

day that neither the ways of the

stances to show that the former eli.
nifty between the North and South

by mutual admiration and respect
"I recall the story of a Union sol.
der who was attending the GettSs-
burg reunion" said the President.
The old veteran was asked II he
would mind sleeping in n tent with
a soldier OF the Confederacy.
"'Gosh, I've fought with him and
