LOCAL MINISTER TO

(Continued From First Page).

and dozens Of times asking me te come down to Newark to marry hes. Whenever l called at the home she always seemed happy in my presence.
 'The whole trouble is that tAS mother at the urging of clergyman of another sect, has changed her mihe about the wedding and now wanU it annuled. It Is nothing more or less than religious persecution.
 Did Not Pay Mothe"
 'Tegarding the claim that the wed. ding was arranged between myself and the girls parents and that l paid her mother a sum of money, l wish r to say that this is also false. The only consideration of money matters vas this: Her brother approached me aRd asked if didn't feel 1 should give his sister something as a wedding present I said I would. I thtn made out my will. leaving property in Europe. valued at S4,oQo, to my wife, C. T. Bridgeman, assistant secretary of the foreign born Americans divi- sion of the Presiding Bisho Council of the Protestant Episcop. church. has communicated with Rev. Samuel Sutclife, rector of St. Marks church, concerning the unusual case.
 His letter is as follows:
 Newark Minister Writes
 My dear Mir. Sutcliffe:
 II feel that l ought to give you first hand information concerning the marriage of Fr. Yonan.
 "Fr. Leslie of Christ church, New ' which l was present. The fact that the girl came to church with her aunt her uncle and her brother, after hav- ing previously studied the marriage service in French and replied audibly to the questions asked her is sufiicient proof that she intended to be mar ried. The difficulty lies in the fact that the Maronite Syrian priest in New York came over couple of days before the wedding and again on the day of it and made threats against the girl concerning her future damnation. etc, if she married schismatfc ana fin a Protestant church. His counsel hnally prevailed with the girls par- ents, who after the return from the Ichurch refused to allow her to go home with Father Yonan.
 "The criminal charge of threatening assault against the brides brother has no foundation whatever and waa withdrawn in court this morning.
 Action in Chanccry
 "The brides people will bring ac- ton in chancery for annulment Of the marriage. Father Yonan is consider ling whether or not he will contest lit. As on the one side is the pre- sumption that he was guilty of fraud, which he wishes to deny most em- phatically, and on the other the un- desira bility of being connected through marriage with girl vhese family take such an attitude.
 "Father Yonan's case is in the hands of very splendid Newark hvm who are awaiting action on the part of the brides people.
 This, l trust. will clear any misap- prchensions which you may have had in the matter and will enable you to speak unqualifiedy in Father Yonahs behalf.
 Thank you for your letter Of re- lcent date. I hope that l may be able to see you in your new church"

WILL ATTEMPT ID
 STOP AUTO THEF7S
New System Planned by Commis-
 Sioners Against Traffic

Chicago, March 6. - Destroy the market for stolen automobiles and thereby stop the thefts, is the plan TOW in process of formation by the Interstate Motor Theft Commission here.
 Laws, locks and protective devices have proved themselves Inadequate, says w. R. Van Courtland, commits sioner The professional motor car thief is unabashed. Motor vehicles of an approximate value of $500, ,o00, the commissioner says, are stolen every day in the United States, de- spite all measures taken to check the thievery. Large numbers of persons thrive as result Of the traffic.
 New Plan.
 A car is stolen in Chicago. If the numbers are changed one of two things happens, either duplicate of some other number is made or fake number one that the manufacturer never placed on car. When the car is sold and re-registered in any state some number must be given. A dupl- cate number will immediately be caught and the two or more cars car rying that number will be thorough ly investigated. A fake number will show up just as quickly and be look cd into. If the number is not changed there will be report of the number on the commissions records as that of stolen car, and when the same number is registered again from the same state or any other it will imme- diately be caught
 The lack of any national clearance system in the past has been one Of the largest contributing factors in making this lawlessness easy and profitable, MT. Van Courtland states. With the commissions national clearance system in operation car stolen in Maine, the numbers changed and the car sold and registered in California, would immediately be caught, he asserts.
 Records Kept.
 The plan is virtually a finger print" system as applied to antomo- hilcs. A master record of every car registered in the AS states as well as the new cars that come into existence is to be kept at the commission z headouarters. The numerical ar rangement Of the records makes checking of any vehicles simple and automatic. A smith Eight for ox- ample. engine number 1234 is reg istcred with the state. The commits sion receives this number and goes 10 post it, but finds another Sn1ith Eight" already registered in that state or some other-and they do not correspond in detail. It is immedi- ately apparent that one is incorrect No man changes these numbers cX- cent for fraud It Is a simple pro cess of elimination for the law en- forcement bodies having jurisdiction over these cars to determine where the trouble lies and then with the aid of the commission. the original identity of the stolen car and to whom it belongs is determined.
 Excellent Co-opcration.
 Through this national clearance test" the commission believes that it will. be virtually impossible to dis pose permanently of stolen ma" chine. Closely identified with the

Fashion N e1Ds
Notes by Wire
to The Argus

Paris, France, April 29.-Suede
and kid are extensively used on
certain types of spring coats. One
such garment is a very wide box
affair of beige suede. 1t is divided
into wide panels by perpendicular
bands of vanished brown ribbon.
This ribbon is also laid in half a
dozen bands around the wide cuffs
and dozen bands around the wide
ly scalloped hem. The coat reaches
almost to the knees.
London, England, April 29.-The
ribbon dress is piquant affair.
Over a foundation of white crepe
marocain there hang as many
black satin ribbons, three inches
wide, as it is possible to hang upon
ones figure. At the neck and waist
these ribbons are fastened to a
narrow jeweled band. From Shoul-
! der to wrist and from girdle to hem
they hang f1oppily with negligent
sort of grace. At the hem they are
not fastened but left free to hutter
in any breeze.
Paris, April 29.-The mitten
sleeve. so Qemurelv old fashioned.
is increasing its popularity day by
day. Because of its very demure-
ness it appears in vivid colors on
the showiest gowns. The black
crepe marocain has very wide,
gathered vest of sealing-wax red
georgette. The vest rises into a
wide, round collar standing out
from the neck and scalloped. But
the distinctive feature is the mitten
sleeve of red georgette, knuckle
length, attached to the rest of the
gown by a narrow band that leaves
the elbow bare.
New York, N. Y, April 29.-Fou-
lard is being combined with georg-
cite for summer frocks. These two
favorites have a happy affinity for
each other. The cool, smooth, fou-
lard in navy and tan, brown and
white, or copenhagen and white is
cleverly softened and at the same
time emphasized by soft accordion
draperies of georgette in navy, tan,
copenhagen or brown. Foulards do
not come in large variety Of pat
terms, but new sort has a large
checkerboard effect which is chic
on slender young people.
New York, April est is pos
sibIe to match almost any costume
in the new French necklaces, crys
tai tassels, earrings and other
sparkling novelties. A little while
ago it was difficult to find a henna
shade in, for example, tasselled
earring Today nVon tho u0uena1
tints of henna are duplicated in
jewelry so that a gray gown with
just a touch of henna embroidery
at the girdle, gown that obviously
needs Frightening, can be supplied
with exactly the right shade of
necklace, plaque or shoulder Or
