SIBERT PROPOSED FOR RIVER BOARD.
Civic Clubs Urged to Con- fer Over Naming Of
 Alabamian

MOBILE, Ala, June 3.-(Special Leased Wire. )-Suggestion that com mercial organizations center on one man for representation on the advisory board of the Mississippi- Warrior serv- ice, should it be found impossible to convince authorities of the importance of having two to represent the Warrior branch, was made by the Mobile Cham Der of Commerce yesterday. The or ganization directed a letter to the Bir- mingham Chamber of Commerce stating that "in the event the Warrior river system is to have one representative only, it might be well for all of us to unite on one man, and it appears to us as if we should have conference look ing toward the selection of one repre- sentative. 'a0
 Regarding the recommendation that Gen. William l.. Sibert, chairman -en- gineer of the state docks commission, be chosen as a member of the board, and other details in connection with the appointment, the Chamber of Commerce letter said:
 eve understand that an advisory board for the Mississippi Warrior serv- ice will be created under the Dennison bill. At the present time, the plans appear to be that the Mississippi river shall have three representatives, the Ohio river one representative, the Mis- souri river one representative, and the Warrior system one representative.
 This gives. the Mississippi and its tributaries five representatives on the board and the Warrior and it's tribu- taries only one representative.
 We think that all of us should work for increasing the representation of the Warrior system to two representatives and to that end we have already com municated with our congressman, Mr. McDuffie, who has promised his CO., operation. .o
 If two representatives from the Warrior system are appointed, we think one should emanate from your district and the other from this dis trict and we have suggested as the rep resentative from this district Gen. Will liam l.. Sibert,> who, because he off cial!y represents the state in the docks development and because of his wide engineering experience and broad Washington acquaintance, should be of great service to the Warrior system: We do not know whom you would se- lect. for the representative from your end, but it occurs to us that George Gordon Crawford would be an admir- able man."

PEGGY RELIEVES;
 COUNT MORNER
 IS FOURTH MATE
Famous Beauty Breaks Paris Vows-Secretly
 Marries

.g NEW YORK, June 3.--Pesgy Hop kins Joyce, whose cupid lips and wist fuI eyes have set hearts of three con tinents aflutter, has renounced her oft repeated vows of single blessedness and again pledged her heart.
 In secret marriage at Atlantic City the piquant divorcee has just be- come Countess Gusta Morner, bride of a Swedish nobleman, and in ad dition to making Count Morner bus band number four has given the world a bit of news that will cause more grief in Paris than a boost in the exchange rate.
 No One Knows
 No one knows just when the mar riage occurred, but Peggy, who told a glittering throng of Paris suitors that she would never wed again, didn't like men anyway, and wanted career m which men were taboo, was swept into matrimony again some time over the weekend
 Rumors of the marriage swept At lantic City Tuesday when Peggy and the Count, who lives in Chicago and makes his new New York home at the Hotel Ambassador, left for this city together. With the couple was Mrs. Joyce's sister, Miss Lucille Upton.
 Peggy had tried two matrimonial ven. lures with millionares when she met James Stanley Joyce, weaathy Chicago lumberman whose name she has now defidintely abandoned. r
 His eyes lit behind his tortoise-shell glasses when the charming vision of the piquant stage beauty loomed on his horizon. There was gay marriage. and Peggy believed she had at last found happiness and an ideal man. In the tumult of subsequent events, how ever, Joyce charged that Peggy broke his bankrell with the same carefree abandon with which she had shattered his heart.
 Then The Divorce
 There was a divorce suit that at tracted nationwide attention. and then moving in the realm of international events.
 Where the Paris ritz looks on the place Vendome, Peggy's smile was bright and her laughter gay. Memories of Chicago. and the sorrows of di- vorce were forgotten. Where the bril- liant throng of Americans who make their homes in Paris congregate for teas, and dancing and suppers! Peggy shone at her best. She was pointed out to the home folks, and the leaders of Paris gaiety, looking on the Ameri- can girl, also stopped to stare.
 Peggy had not been in Paris long before there was talk of a new TO- nance. Noblemen made their best bows. Titles dangled attendance. Sons of wealthy Europeans struggled for the privilege of dance, while some . of the fathers joined in the struggle to win her hand.
 Among them was one South Ameri- can youth who wooed her with Latin ardour and then, when a dashing American seemed about to win her hand. killed himself.
 But, besieged by admirers. the Chi cago girl turned all aside with the same answer.
 She was through with marriage. she said She had been deceived in love, and would not try the perilous game again. To some she declared that she ! didn't like men. anyway.
 The count. however, has apparently made her change her mind. Today Peggy is in New York again, and a countess.
 But where the lights are brightest in the worlds gayest capital, Paris mourns. To say nothing of Chicago,
