WAR ROMANCE OF 1918

Irida Giovetti. who arrived here on
the Giulio Cesare last Tuesday from
Italy, with the avowed intention of
marrying George Abbott Hoke of Still
water. Okla. whom she met while the
latter was with the American forces in
Italy in 1918. is being detained on Ellis
Island by the authorities. who refused
to permit her to land in this country.
To add to her troubles. she was told
yesterday that Hoke already has a wife
In Oklahoma. so the wedding she had
planned is off.
The pretty Italian girl at first re-
fused to believe the officials at the
inquiry yesterday when they told her
that Hoke was married She said that
1t couldn't be 50. 'He is my fance. he
could not do such a thing! !" she almost
screamed. Nevertheless she is detained
and Hoke has not appeared at Ellis
Island to aid her and 1t is likely that
she will be deported. although no de-
cision has been reached yet.
Met mt n Dance in Rome.
The story of the romance of the
young American captain and the Italian
girl began In 1918 when they met at a
dance in Rome. After few short
weeks of courtship the officer beseeched
the girl TO marry him and come to the
United States to make her home here.
This she consented to do and when the
troop to which Hoke was attached was
ordered home they parted as betrothed.
She promised to come here and he
promised to wait and to send her the
passage money.
Because of the immigration law and
the jamming Of the foreign ports with
eager immigrants the young woman de-
cided TO postpone her trip here until
recently. She was 20 have come here
in 1921. but was unable to do so, and
wrote to her sweetheart about 1t. He
wrote her an urgent letter recently, she
said, and also cabled her to come across
the sea, sending her the passage money.
With this she started on the Giulio
Cesare. and engaged a special suite.
When she arrived here the authorities
questioned her and she was taken 10
Ellis Island. Hoke did not appear,
although she attempted to telephone him
at the Hotel Pennsylvania.

QUIET PREVAILS
OVER HALL-M|LLS
MYSTERY MURDER
Attorney Mott and Jury
Foreman Enter Into
Conference
tBy Associated pressl

New Brunswick, N. j., Nov. TO-
The Hall-Mills murder remained a
mystery today and there seemed to
be no immediate prospect of it being
cleared. No official announcement
has been made as to the result of the
conference in Somerville between
Deputy Attorney General Wilbur A.
Mott, in charge of the case, and the
foreman of the Somerset county
grand jury. ....
Mr. Mott declined to make any
statement after the conference, but
his attitude indicated that he had
been unable' to convince Foreman
Glib and other local officials that he
had enough evidence to warrant the
grand jury. Many people in New
Brunswick believe the case will never
go beyond the investigation stage.
The grand jury has been called to
meet here this afternoon to take up
its regular term, but Mr.. Mott said
the Hall-MilIs case would not be pre-
sented this week

rance Company notified the Chapter
that his company would pay q share
of the expense, it is said, and he fur
ther related that in st. Johns county
between 30 and 40 per cent of the
expense of the Health Nurse was
borne by his principals.
This news came as a surprise to
the appointed block captains, who
had assembled to perfect final plans
for Palatkas Annual Red Cross Roll
Call and the need of the nursing
service was indelibly impressed on
the meeting by Miss Sarah Bard,
who stated that the loss in school
attendance alone would compensate
the county commissioners for the
employment of a nurse. Education
in preventive measures such as the
public health service provides was
another reason given to encourage
this service the meeting concluded.
NUnder the Pittsburgh plan, adopt
ed fort Roll Call, the following
enthusiastic citizens have accepted

Ship Subsidy Bill and Ap-
preparations to Be Con-

Washington, Nov. 10.-With con-

Of the appropriation bills ready for
the house by the beginning of the
regular session Immediately follow
ing on December 4. During the two
weeks of the extra session, the call
for which was issued by the president
last night in accordance with an an
nouncement at the white house early
this week, the house is expected to
devote its attention to the ship sub
idy bill while subcommittee of its
ppropriation committee work on the
supply bills, which form the most
important task of the regular session.
1t was with view of getting an ear
lier start in an effort to clean up
important legislation, including the
appropriation bills, but next March A
when the sixty-seventh congress
must adjourn sine die, that the call
for an extra session which the presi-
dents proclamation said was made
necessary by public interests, has
been generally approved by repub-
lican leaders in congress. While
there has been no definite outline of
the nature of the presidents recon-
mendations to be presented to the
sssion, the senate has several impor-
tant bills pending for action, includ-
ing the Dyer anti-lynching bill, al
ready passed by the house, and it is
probable that the execu-
tive will make some definite recon-
mendation as to changes in transpor-
tation act at the outset of the ses-
sion.
Postponement of action on the ship
subsidy bill was agreed to by the
president at the last session on the
assurances of party leaders that it
would be taken up without delay
when congress re-convened.
