JULIUS p. PERKINS LIES SERi'
oUSLY WOUNDED BY DENVER
PATROLMAN
Friends Stand Loyalty by Highly Re-
spected Citizen

Coming from a banquet at Shorter
A. NJ e. Church about II o'clock Mon
day night, J. p. Perkins, one of the
most highly respected citizens OF Den
yer and a prominent church worker,
was shot and seriously wounded by
Patrolman Roy H. Robinson at point
near 2342 Washington street. Perkins
was taken to the county hospital,
where he now lies in precarious con-
dition. Accounts of the affair differ
and as no direct statement has as yet
come from Perkins, it is somewhat
shrouded in mystery by the alleged eX-
PLANTATION of the city authorities. one
thing is certain, however, Mr.. Perkins
has long been resident OF Denver,
and for many years has held a very
responsible position with the Neustet-
er Dry Goods Company. His record is
clear and his many friends have un-
bounded faith in him. He has taken
an active part in all civic movements,
an ardent church worker and an en-
thusiastic booster of the n. A. A. q.

Children Marry With Sanction

BY International News Service.

CHICAGO, May 3.-Investiga-
ton by the authorities was to be
asked today of the circumstances
under which two girls in their
teens, Margaret Hellberg, thir-
teen, and her sister. Hattie, fif-
teen. were married to street beg
gars, one of them with paralysis,
shrivelled legs, the other with no
legs at all.
That the seeming paupers earn
thousands in the course of year
and that both the brides and their
parents appear satisfied with the
marriage is not taken into con-
Sideration by those who are ask
ing the Investigation.
Family Too Large.
According to the story. the sisters
were told by their mother, Mrs.
Eric Hellberg, wife of a painter.
that the three-room cottage which
was their home was entirely too
small for a family of sixteen and
that they should seek husbands and
homes elsewhere.
Pfqued, Margaret proposed to Carl
Farmer, twenty-four, whom she had
noticed daily on street corner,
seated on a tiny board upon wheels,
proffering pencils and chewing gum
to passers-by and asking aims. He
accepted and, despite his physical
handicap. passed the censorship of
Mrs. Hellberg. Then it was that he
revealed that far from being a
pauper, he averaged about $3.50 a
week from the charitable.
Following his marriage to Mar
garet, he introduced Hattie to an
other beggar, an Indian, in even
more pitiable condition, for Cheenah
Kicki, thirty-four, was paralyzed

and his decrepit clothing made him
