ago.
Chartering a private railroad car.
Gilbert and his bride-to.be slipped
away from the film colony last
night, taking with them only four
intimate friends. ..
Greeted By 1900
BY the time they reached Las
Vegas this morning news of their
elopement had leaked out and a
crowd of cowboys, Indians. gamb.
lers, real estate promoters and plain
townspeople, numbering 1000. were
at the depot to give them a Western
welcome.
The parade formed the moment the
famous elopers left the train and a
long procession of automobiles fol-
lowed them up the dusty main street
which led to the courthouse.
Denied admittance, the unlimited
wedding guests swarmed the court
house lawn w'ile Judge Roger Foley
performed the simple marriage cere-
mony.
The noted couple, representing the
cite of the fashionable film world,
accorded strange contrast as they
stood before the grizzled jurist to
take their marital vows.
The booming voice Of the judge
pronouncing the players man and
wife was signal for a demonstra-
tion outside the court house.
Acclaimed With Joy
A few minutes later Gilbert, with
his bride timidly clutching his arm,
emerged from the building to be &C.
claimed by the hurrahs and whoop-
ces Of the admiring townsfolk.
Almost fighting their way through
the crowd, the newlyweds and
members of their little bridal
party hurried to the historical Ma
tional Hotel, scene of many a gala
celebration, where q wedding break
fast was served.
The guests had scarcely left the
table when Gilbert hit upon the
idea of chartering an airplane to
take his bride. like a Lochinvar of
the air, back to his castle in Bev-
erly Hills.

c. H. ST ANLEY
GETS 3-YEAR
TERM

Charles Hess Stanley, 80 years
old, former clerk in the office Of
the highway engineer of the District
Government, who recently entered
pleas Of guilty to indictments charg-
ing the forgery Of refund vouchers,
was today sentenced to serve three
years in prison by Justice Frederick
L. Siddons in Criminal Court.
Rum COncurrentIy
Two indictments were reported
against Stanley and he was given
a three year sentence on each, but
the court decreed that the sentences
run concurrently.
Stanley was arrested October 2,
last, but was only recently indicted.
He has been on bond since the
time of his arrest.
The former clerk was charged
with obtaining over $500 from
vouchers mailed out by the dis
bursting officer to persons who left
deposits with the building inspector
for construction work and failed to
call for the refund.
Plea for Him Fails ae
Persons applying for building per-
mits are required to post deposits
to cover damage TO streets and
pavements during the work. These
deposits are returned when the job
is completed, minus reductions for
damage. Stanley is said to have
taken advantage of the fact that
some of the applicants failed to call
for their refunds under the i'm
preston that the deposit was part
of the permit charge.
Stanley's counsel made stirring
plea for probation, and told the
court that a brother-in-law in a
New England State was ready to
back him in a new business and
give him another chance.

Washington, Jan. 90 (UP)-Fifty thousand persons in the United States can have an average of $20 each from the government merely by asking for it. But they don't ask.
 They are former employees of the United States who paid from ch to 3h per cent of their monthly sal aries into a retirement fund and then, evidently, forgot it. The Re- tirement division of the pension bu- Yeau is trying now to locate them.
 Nearly all these persons. the bu- reau explained. remained in the gov ernment service but short time and then went elsewhere. When they left they either forgot the money thy had paid to the retirement fund or else left 1t with the government thinking it would draw interest. But 1t does not.
 Last April, the comptroller gen. eral called on all government de- partments to make list of former employees to whom refunds were due. A list of $500 of the 50,000 has been compiled to date.
 Many of these were employees in navy yards, post offices, or the vet erans' bureau. Some of them have only a few cents due them. Others have $500 or more.
 Uncle Sam doesn't want to keep tho money, for there are none of his accounts to which it can be per inanently and legally credited. But he is having trouble in finding it's rightful owners.
