GIRL, 16, E[OPES
WITH Welded MAN
Movie Theater Usher Marries
Chauffeur at Rockville.
J. Gives Age as Is.

Sixteen-year-old Helen Carlisle,
usher at the Rialto Theater, where
for months she has watched heroines
OF the screen go deep in the tangles
of life and then eXtricate themselves,
last night involved her own life in a
maze as intricate as any depicted in
the films
She ran away to Rockville with a
married man and was married to him,
leaving i'll the Iurch Earl Nanny, an
other usher at the Rialto, to whom
she was engaged.
Girl Only 16.
The man in the case is William F.
Shaw, 80, a chauffeur, who separated
from his wife a few weeks ago.
They We're married last night by
Rev. Millard F. Minnick, rector of
Christ Episcopal Church. Rockville.
HeIen gave her age as Is, but her
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. George r. Car
Isle, AL | street, say she is only 10.
Detective c. ]. P. Weber was called
in this morning to investigate the
disappearance of the girl. Mrs. Car
Isle explained that Mrs. Shaw. n few
weeks before leaving her hus$and,
had complained to her of his atten-
tions to Helen. Mrs. Carlisle had con-
sidered the story as unlikely at the
time and treated it lightly, she said.
Later, according to information OBJ
Iained by Weber, the Carlisle family
took a more serious view of the situa-
tion and Helen was watched closely.
She never was seen to meet the
chauffeur. however.
The first intimation Of Helen's dis
appearance came when she failed to
show up at the theater last night. A
little later a long distance telephone
message purporting to be from Fred
erick, Md. was received.
"TeII Mother Not to Worry"
''This is Shaw" said the voice at
the other end. Il want to tell you
that Miss Carlisle was married here
and is going to Wheeling, w. Va.
Please tell her mother not to worry;
that her daughter will be home Sun
day"
Shaw has been employed as a
chauffeur for DIR. w. S. Harlan, 2101
Wyoming avenue. He had lived with
mis- family near the Carlisle house and
had been a patron at a store kept by
MIR. Carlisle.
Nanny is disconsolate. He never
had dreamed that Helen loved an
other. lie had been living at the Car
Isle home and the couple had decided
TO marry as soon as Helen was 1S
They had talked over plans for the
wedding recentlv.

police believed that this may be the
real name Of Nugent, the only robber
unaccounted for, who is believed to
have the loot with him.
Woods also admitted he had received
part Of the loot from the man known
as Nugent, declaring the latter's real
nanc was William j. Mellenchuk
who, he said, had served time in penal
Institutions.
Doubt was thrown about the iden-
tity ot the man who actually killed
the assistant cashier when Woods ad-
mitted he had fired d shotgun. Wit
nesscs had told the police that only
one charge from a shotgun had been
fired and that killed the hotel en-
ploye.
He also told a story that Robert
Scott, brother of Russell Scott, under
sentence to hang, but who has OBJ
tanned a sanity trial, was a friend
and associate of the robber band.
Robert Scott also is charged with muir
der in the same Indictment with Rus

clerk, for whose death Russell was
sentenced.

that his shotgun was accidentally
discharged in the hotel. He continued
to refuse to admit that his shot killed
Rodkey. His own gun blew off the
end of his thumb, he asserted.
Mellenchuk fed with the loot. which
Woods asserted was only $500. He
said Mellenchuk gave him 81 500 and
kept the remainder.

that he had received $500 from the
loot and caused the arrest OF a res
taurant owner to whom he had said
he gave part of the money, he re-
tracted the story, but later repeated
it.
The Scott story Woods based on a

RULINGS ON LIQUOR
CONFINED TO D. c.
Permits Outside Held Not
Under Jurisdiction of Local
Supreme Court.

The Supreme Court of the District
of Columbia has no jurisdiction to re.
view refuSals of the commissioner of
internal revenue to grant liquor per-
mitS to persons and corporations out
side of Washington, and such persons
and corporations must seek review OF
the action of the commissioner in the
District Courts of the United States
in the judicial districts where they are
engaged in business.
Justice Hoehling of the District
Supreme Court has decided in SuS-
tanning the coftention of Assistant
United States Attorney Vernon f.
West in suits for review brought by
four New oYrk concerns-Guiseppe
Maria, trading as the National Bitter
Products Co. the Burlington Indus
trial Alcohol Co. Joseph Limo, trading
as the Liberty Barber Supply Co, and
the Taps Medicine Co. The court
dismissed all four cases and counsel
Tor the petitioners noted an appeal to
the Courts of Appeals.
The prohibition act provides for
review of the action of the Commits
sioner by proceedings in a court of
equity and the court held that it could
not have been the intent of Congress
when it knew that such permltteeS
are scattered throughout the United
States to mean that recourse could
only be had to the District Supreme
Court to review the refusal of the
Commissioner. Indeed. says the
court, there would appear to be many
matters of detail involved in cases of
this kind which would suggest the
judicial district in which the concern
is located and doing business as being
peculiarly tit and proper for the in
VeStigatiUn and aScertainment of the
necessary facts to enable court TO
act advisedly in respect of the, ap-
plication and its rejection"
The court rejected the contention
of counsel that the courts of other
Jurisdictions could not get service on
the commissioner of internal revenue
and the plaintiffs would be left to
the grace or good will of that official
To appear and testify. The court re-
marked that such difficulty is more
imaginary than real and cited a ruling
of the United States Supreme Court
in an analogous case in which that
court held that service could be had
upon the person authorized by law
to be served in whatever district he
may be found.
If Congress had intended to limit
the reviews to the District Supreme
Court it would have SO enacted, the
court suggested.

Anfecsdsnfs Of Modern
Writing Paper Told

The credit Of making the first sheet
Of paper Is due, according to the Amer.
lean Forestry association, to q schOt
arly eunuch named T'sai-lun Of China,
in the year Is A. D. For this achieve
ment he was 40 years later raised to
the rank Of marquis.
It appears that T'sai-lun, believing
that old bamboo tablets and stylus had
0utlived their usefulness, set for him
self the task Of making new writing
materials. After 80 years he pro-
duced the FIRST hand sheet Of paper.
and It was made from the bark Of q
mulberry tree.
Prior to T'sai-lun's day leaves OF
trees and various barks used In crude
form had served the Egyptians. no
mans and other nations as paper.
Tsai-lun. however. did not use the
crude inner bark Of the tree as the
final material on which to make his
records He did use the bark, but
merely al q raw material from which
he produced a finished sheet OF pa
Dor by series Of processes which. crude

PUBLIC HEALTH NURSE.
What the Service Means to the
People of Ellsworth.

What the Service Means to the
People of Ellsworth.
The public health nursing service
has been resumed in Ellsworth, after
much effort on the part of the COM
mittee, of which Rev. George s.
Brookes is chairman. Miss Bertha
NJ Bullock, the nurse, has entered
upon her duties here.
This service is we'll recognized
necessity, deserving the support OF
every man, woman and child In the
city, for it means the services of a
trained nurse available for rich and
poor in families where the continu-
GUS care of a private nurse Is not re-
quired. 1t means prenatal 1nstruc-
ton for expectant mothers, maternity
service, baby welfare work; it means
an organized supervision of the
school child's health that he may be
healthier citizen both in mind and
body, The nurse is not the doctor,
but must work under his super
vision. In order that the running ex-
pense of the organization may be
met, small fee Is charged for home
calls where service is rendered as
follows: Day calls, (maximum fee)
60 cts. Night calls, (should be lin
tied to emergencies as far as posi-
ble) $1.0O. Maternity calls, $500.
AS this is a public service, it was
thought best to make the fees as
low as possible, but anyone desiring
to pay more may do so.
Nursing the sick, preventing dis
ease, promoting health-that is
what the public health nursing SER
vice means.
The office hours of the nurse are
$50 to 8 a. m, and l to 2 p. M, ex-
cept Saturday afternoon. Baby
clinics Friday afternoon, 2 to P. M.
