WASHINGTON COUPLE
ELOPES SECOND time
Miss Mary McClintic, 19, and Rich
ard Leibert Are Wed in
Baltimore.

Four years of separation and ref1ec.
ton failed to dim the love of Miss
Mary McClintic, daughter Of Repre-
sentative James V. McClintic, for
, Richard w. Leibert, organist at the
Palace Theater, so late yesterday they
eloped to Baltimore, were married and
, today are embarked safely upon their
honeymoon somewhere in New York.
1t was the second time the two, Mr..
Le.bert, now %, and his bride, 10,
| had eloped. The first was in 1922,
when they motored to Upper Marl-
boro after a brief acquaintance and
were married. Upon hurrying back
home, however, their romance was
wrecked on the rocks of parental
objections. Mr.. McClintic had the
marriage annulled.
Although Mr. McClintic agreed at
the time that he would interpose no
objections if the couple waited until
Miss McClintic attained her majority,
they decided to take no further
chances. Accompanied only by Mr..
and Mrs. Emery Dougherty, old and
trusted friends, they went to Balti-
more shortly after 3 o'clock yesterday
afternoon, reaching the license bureau

The next stop was the rectory of
Old ST. Paul's Episcopal Church, only
few blocks away, where Rev. DR..
Arthur B. Kinsolving performed the
ceremony. Still unwilling to risk
new parental interference, they
boarded a train a few minutes later,
announcing that they would wire Mrs.
Leibert's parents when the train
neared New York.
Mr.. McClintic who is a Representa-
tive in Congress from Oklahoma, is
recuperating from a recent illness at
Hot Springs, Ark. Mrs. McClintic
is living at their apartment in the
Chastleton. Mrs. Leibert was in her
junior year ct George Washington
University and it is understood her
parents had wanted her TO graduate
before being married.

Of course, there is ample provision
in the amended park commission act
to give the commission authority to
take the funds appropriated by Con-

spend them for the purchase Of park
lands and Fairgrounds in Maryland
and Virginia, but the commission has
consistently refused to use any of this

for this Is that all Of this 100000 Is

This includes the hiring of a corps

by it's cO-ordinating committee. and

will be consideration of a regional
highway system which has been ten.

This will consist of laying down the
main arterial streets through the en-.

This plan has been made through
a study of the recent traffic survey

and augmented by the studies of
traffic at certain points by experts,
to determine where present traffic
volume starts, what routes it now
follows and where it goes. This

WARNED TO BEWARE
OF U. S. MAIL TRUCK
Public Notified Marines Will Shoot
to Kill in Hold-ups and By
ISLANDERS May Suffer.

Because armed marines who guard
the mails in this city have instruc-
ton to shoot to kill at the least sus-
picion Of a hold-up. marine officers
are warning the public to remain at a
safe distance from the trucks guard
ed by the "Figthing Fifth" IN order
that no innocent bystander may pe
killed or wounded.
The fact that an innocent man was
killed in Chicago two years ago Wnen
the marines were assigned to guard
the mails has been recalled here by
officers, who explain that the officers
of the guard wish to prevent a repeti'
ton of the accident.
The marines while on guard duty
are generally regarded as an object
of curiosity by the public. People
crowd around while a truck Is being
loaded or unloaded, and thus make
it easy for hold-up men to take the
guard unawares, officers add.
Guards are stationed night and day
at the Union States and the Post
Office and they ride on every mail
truck carrying registered mail. They
also are stationed on all trucks of
the United States Treasury which
carry money through the streets.
