Girl, 13 Years Old, Is Given in
Marriage for Team of Four Mules

EopkinSville. Ky.-(NEA)-a queer
bargain Of the hill country. In which \
l3-year-old girl was bartered off as a
bride In return for a gift Of four
mules. a log chain and a wagon. has
just reached the notice Of the author
tiles herewith the result that one
man is In Jail, another is about to face
criminal charges. and the luckless girl
is in hiding at the home of relatives.
The girl is Louise Gibbs-or, legally.
Louise Green. A bride at Is. she says
she dares not go out on the street
alone for fear that her husband will
compel her to 60 back to Detroit and
live with him.
Her father. Henry Gibbs. is In jail,
accused Of converting the property Of
another.
Her husband. Ed Green. who Is AZ
years old, 10 years the senior of her
father, Is waiting In Hopkinsville in
the hope that he can get the girl To
return to him. He Is also vowing
vengeance on Gibbs, whom he accuses
Of defrauding him.
It all happened like this:
Some weeks ago Green took Louise
to Cadiz. KY, and married her, show
ing the clerk a letter purporting to be
from her father, giving parental con-
sent. This letter, according to Gibbs.
was forged, and Gibbs threatened
Green with dire consequences.
Peace was made. however. when
Green gave his new father-in-law
two teams of mules. a wagon and q
log chain. The parental wrath SUBJ
sided, and Green took his bride to
Detroit. where he has four children
by another marriage.
Louise, a slim child weighing about
100 pounds. quickly tired of married
life and left her husband. She hid in
Detroit until her father arrived and
brought her back home.
Green came to Hopkinsville in pur-
suit. Unable to get his wife back, he
demanded the return Of his peace Of
fering-only to find that Gibbs had
sold mules. wagon and all. for 1926
Gibbs thereupon had Green arrested
on q charge Of forging the letter of
permission with which the marriage
license was obtained. Green made
peace In IN way and the charge
was withdrawn. and Immediately
thereafter Green had Gibbs arrested
for selling the wagon and mules,
charging that he had merely left them
with Gibbs for safe keeping.
Gibbs was placed In Jail and Louise
went to stay with relatives. She asked
the taller to lock her up with her
father. but the jail was full and he
refused.
Her father, meanwhile. insists that
| as soon as he gets out Of Jail he will
| reinstate the charges of forgery
against Green.
The county grand jury is expected
to investigate the entire matter soon.

PIAN1sTs' FESTIVAL CLOSES.

PIANISTS' FESTIVAL CLOSES.
The fifth and last concert of the
seventh annual series of pianforte re-
citals was given by the Washington
Pianists' Club Saturday evening at the
Columbia Heights Christian Church,
and it concluded one of the most Sue
cessful seasons in the history OF the or
sanization. Betty Baum and Katherine
Wardner Smith were heard in two in
dividual programs of standard works,
and they were enthusiastically applaud
ed by a large and discriminating
audience.
Miss Baum, presented by Pearl
Waugh, played with good tone, neat
phrasing and fluent technique Bachs
prelude and Fugue in F Minor" the
first movement of Beethoven's Les
Adieux Sonata, and the g Minor
Rhapsody by Brahms. In her rem
dition of the sonata, however, she was
obviously a little nervous and faltered
in a few sections of the number, hut
she soon gained in confidence and
played the rest of her program with her
usual well balanced composure. The
rhapsody was very well rendered. Her
next group was composed OF q moo
turne in E Minor" by CHOPIN, ana
Tschaikowski-Pabs The nocturne was
played with charming delicacy, but the
brilliant portions of the "Paraphrase"
were lacking in requisite power ana
breadth-hardly to be expected OF this
young, frail performer. Miss Baum
closed her recital with scholarly rem
dition of the first movement OF Men
delssohns % Minor Concerto, nnely
supported by Miss Waugh on the Sec
ond piano.
The second recital of the evening was
0iyen by Katherine Wardner Smith,
winner of the alumni scholarship OF the
Peabody Conservatory, Baltimore. BY
request, she repeated her scholarship
program at her recital. Miss Smith is
a young pianist Of fine musical ability
and consummate pianistic skill, and the
growth of her art is quite outstripping
the prophecy made for her future. Her
program consisted of Bach's prelude
and Fugue in F Sharp Minor" the en-
tire "Waldstein Sonata" by Beethoven;
Five Preludes and Five Etudes," by
Chopin, and as her last group, Prelude
in z Flat Major" by Rachmaninoh;
Sketch From Bizarries," by Mas
kowsky, and the isle of JOY" by De-
busy. In the rendition of this varied
program Miss Smith displayed wealth
of technique, excellent feeling for tonal
color and exquisite taste in interpreta-
ton.
Following the concert the 10 young
pianists and the two emergency substi-
tutes assembled on the platform, each
Of the participants receiving an honor
badge presented by the director Of the
club, Mrs. Martin A. Morrison, as re-
ward for their efficiency. In conclusion,
Mrs. Alice Burbage Hesselbach ex-
pressed her thanks and appreciation to
Mrs. Morrison in behalf of the teach
ers of the young pianists for her untir-
ing efforts and devotion to a worthy
musical cause. H. x.

SHIP BLAST KILLS FOUR.
Tragedy on Dutch Tanker Which
Rescued Ruth Elder in 1927.

ABLANCA, Morocco, May IS CR.-
Tragedy has overtaken the Dutch
tanker Barendrecht which twice went
out of its way to save others from
dire fate. Wireless messages from the
ship yesterday said she was return
ing to this port with four of her crew
dead and one injured as a result Of a
boiler explosion so miles at sea.
In 1927 the Barendrecht rescued
Ruth Elder and George Haldeman when
a broken oil line forced their trans
atlantic plane down near the Azores.
On April IL, 1916, she rescued the sur
vivors Of the Russian bark Imperator,
which was sunk by an Austrian subma-
rine on Barcelona, Spain, after having
been the target herself of the under
sea craft.
