HASBROUCK HEIGHTS, N. j., Oc-
tober 20.-Bernt Balchen, blonde viking
of the air, who accompanied Rear Ad-
miral Richard e. Byrd on his Atlantic
flight and his South Polar expeditions,
has married his Northland sweetheart.
At a quiet ceremony on Saturday he
was married to Miss Emmy Soerlie of
Oslo, Norway, to whom he had been
engaged for four years and who came
to this country after Balchen returned
last year from Antarctica. The mar
riage took place at little church in
Coytesville, N. j., with Peter j. Sic
cardi, chief of Bergen County traffic
police, and Mrs. Siccardi as attendants
Balchen was back at work today at
his job as test pilot for the Fokker Air
craft Corporation, turning airplanes in
side out in the air to find out how good
they were. But when news of his mar
riage leaked out he pulled of his fly
ing suit and fed to seclusion after
merely confirming the fact that he was
married.
Planned to Keep Event Secret.
It had been his plan to keep the
wedding secret until he had finished
some work he had at hand and to have
it announced after he and his bride had
left on their honeymoon. But when the
secret was discovered Balchen, went al
once to his apartment near the field here
where he installed the pretty young
Mrs. Balchen two days ago, and 1t was
indicated that the wedding trip would
begin at once In an effort to escape
publicity.
Balchen, who will be 81 years old next
Thursday, began his flying career as q
lieutenant in the Norwegian Navy. He
first came into wide notice in 1925 wher
he flew over the Arctic wastes in search
of the missing expedition headed by the
late Road Amundsen. The following
year he was member of the Amundser
North Pole Expedition in the dirigible
Norge, being stationed at Spitzbergen.

BLIZZARD STRANDS
|. HUNDREDS IN EAST
Snow 9 Inches to 4 Feet
Deep Covers Area From
Buffalo to Erie.

BUFFALO, N Y, October 20 Dr.
Hundreds of automobiles were in snow
drifts in Western New York today,
abandoned by tourists who left home in
Indian Summer
Snow from 9 inches to 4 feet deep
mantled the ground all the way from
Buffalo to Erie, Pa. The storm over
Lake Erie was accompanied by a gale,
which drove freighters to shelter.
Autoists who abandoned cars plodded
their way to farmhouses in search of
food and shelter. The houses soon were
overcrowded. Snow plows endeavored
to push their way through to them with
supplies, urgent appeals having been
sent out when the few operating tele-
phone lines brought word that pro-
visions were running low. In one ordi-
nary sized farmhouse 2 miles north of
Farnham, Erie County, 81 snowbound
autoiSts were accommodated last night.
Women and children slept on floors
from cellar to garnet.

The Chamber of Commerce of Silver

were motorists, from many different
States. Their cars were caught in
drifts, which in some places rose as
nigh as 10 and IL feet. About 400 cars
were stalled In and near Silver Creek.
Interurban bus lines and heavy trans
portation vans were abandoned.

HOOVER MAKES LAST
JOURNEY TO RAPIDAN

President Hoover returned this morn
ing from what is expected to be his
last visit of the year to his fishing camp
on the Rapidan River.
The air is getting cold in the noun
tains and there are no facilities for
heating buildings at the camp. The
President has therefore inferred he will
not likely make another visit before the
Spring. Moreover, the water supply,
due to the prolonged drought, is low.
The President was accompanied on
his trip by Capt. Joel T. Boone, White
House physician, and Mr.. and Mrs.
Mark Sullivan of this city. Mrs. Hoover
went to the camp several days ago and
remained over the week end.
The President arose before sunrise
this morning and was back at the
White House by $3.50 o'clock. Mrs.
Hoover and Mr.. and Mrs. Sullivan fol-
lowed him to the Capital three hours
later.

CAPT:-GEN. WEYLER
SUCCUMBS AT g
Veteran Soldier Known in
U. S. for MerciIeSS Rule
in Cuba in 1896.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
MADRID, october 20.-Capt. Gen.
Valeriano weyler, first in rank in the
Spanish army, died today at the age
of 81.
Gen. Weyler, veteran of SPANS
colonial wars, succombed to illness
growing out of fall off his horse on
ninety-second birthday last month.
Gen. weyler served twice as minister
of war, in 1901 and 1905.
His civil name was Valeriano Weyler
Nicolau, and he was Marques OF
Teneriffe.
Remembered for MerciIess Rule.
Gen. Weyler was regarded by the
Spanish government as its most loyaI
and efficient soldier, although among
Americans he is remembered as the
man whose rule in Cuba was merclieSs,
which had much to do with the prlng-
inc on of the Spanish-American War.
Faith in him in Spain, however, was
such that even in his seventy-seVentn
wear, in January, 1916, he was ap,,
pointed president Of central genera
staff created by royal decree to reor-
ganize the entire army system In spain.
when Gen. Weyler was sent to Cuba
in February. 1896, he had had years OF
experience with rebellions in nearly all
of the Spanish colonial possessions.
He was captain general at Catalonia,
making himself the terror OF the an
archists and socialists there Wnen ne
was sent to Cuba to succeed Marshal
Cannes. whose dealings with the in
surpents were regarded at home as too
conciliatory. Weyler Immediately in
augurated a policy of inexorable re-
preston. He was author of the famous
concentration edict, requiring all the
inhabitants of the insurgent provinces
to concentrate within prescribed as
tances of the military camps. This
forced hundreds of thousands OF per-
sons out of their regular employment
and massed them in such numbers that
they could not be properly fed or smell
tered. Gen. FitZhugh Lee, consul gen.
eral of the United States at Havana. Is
authority for the estimate that probably
200. 900 of the rural population of Cuba
died of starvation or from resultant
causes during this period Of concentra-
ton.
Policy Raised U. s. Indignation.
Weyler's policy raised storm of in
dignation throughout the United States
and led finally to demand for his re-
call. Under pressure, this was granted
by Spain, and Weyler left Cuba in Octo-
Der, 1897, after less than two years OF
his merciless rule. In Spain his repu-
tation as a strong and ambitious loyal
soldier seemed to have suffered no set
back, and to the time of his death he
played a prominent role in army affairs.
Gen. Weyler figured prominently in a
plot against the government OF Primo de
Rivera in June, 1926, but was acquitted
by military court in April, 1927.
AS the remaining captain general OF
the Spanish Army, he was regarded as
still In service, although having no active
connection with SPANS military forces
for several years past. He continued
after passing his Goth birthday anniver-
sary to take daily horseback ride.
He married Teresa Santacana, peas
ant girl.

LAKE SHIPPING MENACED.

ERIE, Pa, october 20 (P).-Erie today
was recovering from a blizzard
which swept in from the lake last night,
bringing snow and high wind that
caused property damage, hampered
traffic, menaced shipping and spread
discomfort over a wide area.
Road and rail traffic was almost at
a standstill for time, highways being
drifted high. Many motorists spent the
night in farm houses in the vicinity of
Erie Boats generally kept close to the
harbor. One freighter came into port
late last night with its cargo damaged.
other boats, while none the worse for
their battle with choppy water, reported
making progress with difficulty.
Snow, more than foot deep in some
of the rural sections. and the sharp drop
in the temperature were believed to
have ruined what remained of the
Chautauqua-Erie grape crop.
