——E IS WARMLY GREETED — The Werald--Review. | PITH OF THE NEWS By E. 0. KILEY, GRAND RAPIDS, - MINNESOTA, The moving sidewalk of the Paris exposition was a great success; 6,694,- 308 persons paid for the privilege of using the platforms, while only 2,635,- 867 used the railway that carried pas- sengers in the other direction. The Argentine republic is rapidly be- coming an Eldorado for people who are interested in the exploitation of elec- trical schemes. Enterprises of this sort recently undertaken in the repub- lie represent an invested capital of $40,000,000. There is said to be a wide-spread feeling throughout Canada in favor of continuing the celebration of the queen’s birthday. The Toronto Globe thinks such a perpetuation of the cus- tom “would resemble the homage paid by Americans to the majestic figure of Washington.” The reported offer of an opal for the English regalia by the commonwealth of Australia is looked upon with dis- favor by the superstitious, as the stone is said to be unlucky, except to those born in the month of October.’ None of the children of the late queen or of tne present king were born in that month. That stirrer-up of human emotions, the baseball umpire, is about to take his position on the “diamond.” Had Shakespeare foreseen the antagonism the arbiter of the national game may excite, he could not better have ex- pressed its extreme form than when he makes a character say: “I can hardly forbear hurling things at him.” The geographical congress of Italy, which will be held at Milan this spring, has authorized the Touring club of It- aly to organize a special exposition of the methods of locomotion used for long voyages during the nineteenth century. The Touring club has re- ceived the idea with enthusiasm, and will endeavor to make this exposition as complete and as interesting as pos- sible. ’ One of the special bicycles built for the use of the British troops in South Africa which went through the cam- paign with Gen. Ian Hamilton’s col- umn was recently exhibited in London, where its excellent condition, consid- ering the knocking about it has re- ceived, excited general comment. Eng- land seems busy with the organiza- tion of cyclist soldiers, and many com- panies of wheelmen figured in the Easter maneuvers. The constitution of the United ‘States, in prescribing the methods by which it may be amended, virtually forbids amendment in one particular. No state is to be deprived without its consent of its equal suffrage in the sen- ate. The first state to ratify the con- stitution was Delaware, and yet the senate has no members from Delaware, It is greatly to be regretted, even if Delaware’s failure to be represented is by its own consent. President Hadley of Yale made a striking classification of society in a recent address on the development of a public conscience. Humanity, he said, is made up of two classes. Indi- viduals of the one participate in the business of life for what they can get out of it, of the other for what they can put into it. It is not, however, a ‘paradox that those who put most into life are also, in the largest and best sense, those who get most out of it. The smallest man in this year’s batch of conscripts in France comes from Cunel, near Montfaucon, in the Department of Meuse. He is named Emile Mayot, stands only three feet nine and three-quarters inches in height, and weighs forty-two pounds in his clothes. He is, however, declared to be constitutionally quite sound and has never had a day’s sickness in his life. The biggest man comes from the Department of the Herrault. He stands six feet six inches, and is named Eu- gene Casanae. As usual, a girl has been by some accident inscribed on the lists. Prof. Gustave Bischof of the Glas- gow university has invented a new process for the manufacture of white lead. His plan is the conversion of metallic lead into litharge, by means ot water gas at a temperature of 300 degrees centigrade, to suboxide. Suffi- cient water is then added to moisten this suboxide, which is converted into hydrate. This substance istheninserted into a gas-tight apparatus, and by means of carbonic and diluted acetic acid manufactured into white lead. Under the old process white lead oc- cupied from two to three months in its manufacture, but Prof. Bischof is enabled to make a purer article within less than forty-eight hours at a much cheaper price and with perfect safety to the employes. The defense of Gibraltar is now made more complete by a provision to keep mogquitoes from introducing germs of disease into the huge reservoirs which have been cut out of the side of the rock. Each tank is rendered mosquito- proof by means of gauze wires. The millions of gallons of water, which a siege would render an important re- source, may be reckoned among the as- sets of defensive works which are a symbol, the world over, for impregna- bility. Not even the mosquito will be permitted to capture the stronghold, DIGEST OF THE NEWS FROM ALL PARTS OF THE WORLD. . Washington. It is not likely that the new Philip- pine tariff will be promulgated until after the decision of the supreme court in the insular cages, ; The war department has published a dispatch from the commanding officer of the Fourteenth cavalry and the com- manding offiéer at Fort Leavenworth, denying the report that 200 of his men had deserted. President McKinley has signed and ratified the treaty amendatory of the Brussels convention for the protection of industrial property, and the docu- ment has been forwarded to Brussels, where it will be deposited. The civil service commission an- nounces that the examination adver- tised for April 23, 1901, for the position of department assistant in the Philip- pine service, has been postponed to June 3 and 4, and that this examination will be held in any city in the United States where free postal delivery has been established. Cas tite. Two ranchmen in Montana were burned to death in their cabin. Twelve track laborers were overcome by gas and smoke in the Cascade tun- nel, and one succumbed. The tanning plant of the A. Platz Leather company at Racine, Wis., was totally destroyed by fire. Loss, $100,- 000; insurance, $75,000. Three persons were drowned at Mari- etta, Ohio, recently. A boat contain- ing nine men was carried under by the swift current in the river, and Joseph Everett, a glassworker, was drowned. Later, two boys were drowned in the same place. The hotel and bath house at the his- toric Steamboat Springs, Nev., which, in the palmy days of the Comstock mines, was a watering place where more money was squandered in a night than at almost any other resort on the coast, have been destroyed by fire. The loss is heavy, and, it is understood, no insurance was carried. Sins and Sinners. Systematic frauds with punched tick- ets, practiced on the lines of the Wash- ington Traction & Electric company to an extent of probably $50,000, have been discovered, and eight of the employes, six conductors and two firemen, are un der arrest charged with conspiracy. One of them has confessed. Harry Rice, city marshal and presi- dent of the board of education of North Platte, Neb., went to the cemetery, took poison and died on his wife’s grave. He was an old railroad man, fifty years of age, and had held posi- tions of responsibilty with the Union Pacific. He had been drinking hard ot late. Four innocent white men were shot, one perhaps fatally, a negro shot and another badly cut as the result of a drunken fight started by a crowd of negroes in Rosedale, Kan., a suburb of Kansas City. William Blanchard re- ceived the contents of a chotgun in the face and his wounds are considered fatal. Foreign Notes. Rt. Rev. A. F. W. Ingram, the new bishop of London, will go to Sandring- ham palace April 27 and will remain there for two days and pay formal homage tc the king on account of his appointment. A bill providing for the renewal of diplomatic relations with Austria has been submitted to the Mexican con- gress. Official courtesies have not been exchanged since the execution of Em- peror Maximilian. The Official Gazette announces that the Victoria Cross has been bestowed upon Lieutenants Cockburn and Tur- ner and Sergeant Holland, of the Can- adian Dragoons, for bravery at Kom- ati river on Nov. 7. A dispatch to the London Daily Mail from St. Petersburg says that all the metal works in South Russia are form- ing a trust. Sixty-three firms have agreed to go into a limited liability company. An increase in prices is foreshadowed, but the minister of finance will possibly claim some regu- lation of their operations. Domestic. Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, through their attorney generals, have formed a friendly alliance to eradicate fake in- surance companies. Gov. Odell has signed the bill author- izing women taxpayers in villages and towns to vote on propositions to ex- pend money for public purposes. A bill has passed the Illinois legisla- ture prohibiting the sale, giving away or bringing into the state of cigarettes, sigarette papers or any substitute therefor. A genuine Stradivarius violin has been discovered in the possession of a farm ‘hand employed by C. B. Kirtland, five miles east of Salina, Kan. He in- herited it. Measles have broken out in the Four- teenth cavalry at Fort Leavenworth, and it is feared the disease will practic- ally disable the regiment. Forty men are now in the hospital. Judge Clancy, in the district court at Butte, Mont., awarded Thomas H. Hindes $231,000 for his services while receiver for the Boston & Montana company about two years ago. Former Senator Thomas H. Carter of Montana has been elected president of the Louisana Purcaase World’s Fair national commission. Joseph Flory of Missouri was chosen secretary, - The Chicago presbytery refused to permit Rev. Rollo R. Stevens to retire from the ministry without being put on probation for one year, as the con- stitution of the church requires. Dr. Stevens wants to go into the life insur- ance business, and wishes to retire at once. May Wright Sewell, representing the United States on the international peace commission of women, has is- sued a call urging the women through- out the country to arrange for meet- ngs May 18 in behalf of international peace and arbitration.

GEN. CLAY YIELDS. Accepts the Advice of a Friend and Gives Up Goods Claimed by His Daughter. Richmond, Ky., May 1. — The do- mestic troubles of Gen. Cassius M. Clay, which for the past month have disturbed the serenity of White Hall, are at an end. At the request of Gen. Clay, Col. James W. Caperton of this city, a life-long friend of the old war- rior, visited him and succeeded in con- vincing Gen. Clay that he should give up the household goods claimed by his daughter. Col. Caperton found the old war horse alone in his castle, all but one of his servants and guards having deserted him Thursday, when Consta- ble Anderson executed the attachment. Seek White, his faithful old negro servant, refused to go. He came here for provisions, and says he will stay with his master no matter what be- falls. SENDING BRIGANDS NERE. The United States a Dumping Ground for Italian Desperadoes. New York, May 1. — The Herald says: Italy is making of the United States a dumping ground for her crim- inals and paupers. This factor has been forcibly brought to the attention of the local authorities by the arrival in this port of three Italian brigands, whose depredations made them a scourge to the province in which they were reared. Despairing of being re- lieved in any other manner, the mer- chants upon whom they had preyed made up a liberal purse with which the three were sent to this country, land- ing with money enough in their pock- ets to pass unquestioned. The three desperadoes are now in Kansas City. Warning has been sent by Police Com- missioner Murphy to the Kansas City police. MRS NATION AT LIBERTY. The Cases Against Her at Wichita to Be Dropped. Wichita, Kan., May 1. — It is said that the cases in this county against Mrs. Carrie Nation for the alleged de- struction of saloon property will be dropped. She was permitted to leave jail here yesterday on her own recog- nizance, to attend the funeral of her brother at Louisburg, Kan., after hav- ing spent a week in jail with three other women, awaiting trial, which was to have come up next week. Now it is generally believed the cases will be dropped. HARVARD DEGREE. Board of Overseers in Favor of Be- stowing It on McKinley. Boston, May 1. — At a meeting of the board of overseers of Harvard university held here yesterday the question of granting the degree of Doc- tor of Laws to President McKinley was taken up informally and the sentiment expressed was unanimously in favor of the step. The matter will come up for final action at a meeting of the overseers just before commencement in June as is the usual custom, LONG TOUR BEGINS PRESIDENTIAL PARTY OFF FOR WHE PACIFIC COAST. ‘Palatial Train Bearing the Presi- dent and ® mbers of His Official Family Rolls Through Dixie—Sec- setaries Gage and Root and At- terney General Knox Remain in ‘We-aktscton to Attend to Public Rewe/ness During the President's Seven-week Absence—Party Re- ceives Flattering Ovations all Along the Route. Washington, May 1. — A palatial train, bearing President McKinley and a distinguished party of cabinet offi- clals, rolled out of the Pennsylvania depot yesterday morning bound for Dixie. Nearly all the leading officials of the many departments of the gov- ernment service and the resident sen- ators assembled at the depot to join in the demonstration which marked the beginning of the greatest transconti- nental journey ever taken by a chief magistrate during his term of office. There were Secretaries Gage and Root and Attorney General Knox, who were unable to accompany the presi- dential party, and will attend to the immediate needs of the government here during the seven-week absence of the president. The president's private car was the last of the train. The two private stateroom cars immediately ahead were occupied ‘by Secretary and Mrs. Hay, Postmaster General and Mrs. Smith, Secretary and Mrs. Long, Sec- retary Hitchcock, Miss Hitchcock, Sec- retary Wilson, Miss Wilson, Rear Ad- miral Melville, Dr. and Mrs. P. M. ‘Roxey and President Henry T. Scott, of the San Francisco Shipbuilding company. The two sleeping cars pre- ceeding are reserved for officials of the railway company, newspaper men, the executive staff of stenographers, teleg- raphers and assistant seeretaries. Ex- traorcinary precautions are taken to guard the presidential train against mishap. ‘The first day of the president’s long tour to the Pacific coast lay through an historic section in Virginia, across the valleys of the Rapidan and James, in sight of the homes of Madison and Jef- ferson, up past the peaks of Otter, so dear to the hearts of the Virginian, into the picturesque Blue Ridge moun- tains. The Tennessee line was reached at 10:55 last night with the arrival of the train at Bristol. The presidential party received a flattering ovation from the time the train left Washington. Large crowds assembled at every station, the coun- tryside and cross-roads each had its little group of waving watchers strain- ing their eyes to catch a glimpse of the chief magistrate as the train whisked by. At Charlottesville the students of the University of Virginia turned out, at Lynchburg Senator Dan- iel, Virginia’s famous orator, made a speech greeting the president and at Roanoke two bands crashed out their welcome. At each of these places the president responded to loud calls made upon him and spoke briefly from the rear platform of his car. ON TRIAL FOR FRAUD. Testimony in Capt. James C. Reed’s Case in Manila. Manila, May 1. — The trial of Capt. Jamer C. Reed, former depot commis- sary at Manila and who was arrested about a fortnight ago for alleged par- ticipation in the commissary frauds, was begun here yesterday and bids fair to develop into a celebrated case. Capt. Reed is charged with soliciting and receiving bribes and with other official misconduct. Mr. Shindler, manager of the Alham- bria cigar factory, testified that in No- vember Capt. Reed had told him that Maj. George B. Davis, who was the depot commissary before Capt. Reed, but who was sent to the United States on sick leave and whose name appears upon the books of Evans & Co., gov- ernment contractors at Manila, as the recipient of $10,000, was $20,000 short in his accounts. Continuing, Mr. Shindler testified that those having profitable contracts with the government were asked to assist in making good Maj. Davis’ deficiency, Shindler gave, he said, $2,150, which was 21-2 per cent commission on the cigars sold to the commissary department during the time Maj. Davis was depot commis- sary at Manila. An officer named Franklin, who was assistant commissary, testified to the effect that on March 18, following the direction of a superior officer, he ob- tained $1,000 from Maj. “Davis and paid this money over to Shindler. Lieut. Richard H. Townley, of the navy, at present superintendent of the Manila nautical school, testified that as the result of a conference with Capt. Reed, he went to see Castle Bros:, con- tractors who supply the commissary department with vegetables, etc., and wanted them to give Capt. Reed $2,000 and 10 per cent commission on all sales. Castle Bros. demurred to this proposi- tion. Lieut. Townley again went to Castle Bros., and this time only asked them to give $2,000. Castle Bros. were reluctant to hand over this sum and Lieut. Townley explained that Capt. Reed was in a position to advance the interests of the firm and that it would be advantageous to Castle Bros. to oblige him. He testified that he fur- ther explained to Castle Bros. that Capt. Reed might allow them the use of government lighters and possibly be less rigid in the inspection of goods purchased. Lieut. Townley said that he-thought Capt. Reed was doing a noble thing in attempting to protect the character of a brother officer. To Cover Davis’ Delinquencies. Inspector Gen. Garlington testified that “during the preliminary investiga- tion of the commissary scandals Capt. Reed admitted to him receiving money from Shindler and others and gave as. an excuse that the money so recovered was intended to cover Maj. Davis’ beef shortage. Londen, May 1. — Portions of the dead queen’s diary, which was ar- ranged for publication after her death, will probably be published the coming summer. It is reported that the Harp- ers wil] issue it in America. MANY REBELS QUIT. War in the Philippines Is Almost Ended. Manila, Many 2.—The fact that there will be no extension under the am- nesty decree of the period wherein those who surrender will be eligible to hold’ office has caused a large number of insurgents with guns to surrender everywhere, the average during April being 100 daily. One hundred and fifty surrendered yesterday. The negotia- tions in the hostile’ districts indicate the prcbablity of the active commands surrendering within twenty-four hours. Palderino Aguinaldo and Emilio Aguinaldo, relatives of Gen, Emilio Aguinaldi, and five other insurgent leaders, surrendered yesterday. The only important forces which have pot been dispersed are those com- manded by Malvar, Cailes and Ma- carde, These insurgents approximate 2,000 in number. In Samar the rebel leared Lukban, remains defiant, not- withstanding the pressure exerted upon him by Aguinaldo, Gen. Trias, other military officers and the federal leaders. His attitude will probably necessitate the concentration of two or three regiments to operate against him. . General opinion here favors the ex- tension of the amnesty period for a month, owing to the distance to be traveled, the isolation of many of the insurgents in different islands. It is held that the government can afford to be lenient with the few misguided stragglers in the final windup. TINO SURRENDERS. @ractically the End of the Rebellion in the Philippines. Washington, May 2.—The most im- portant cablegrams were received yes- terday at the war department from Gen. MacArthur at Manila. In the opinion of the officials the news con- tained in them marks the almost com- plete collapse of organized rebellion in the Philippines. The cablegrams arc as follows: “Gen. Tino surrendered with his command to-day at Sinait. He will deliver all men and guns in his com- mand as soon as they can be gathered together. This completely pacifies the first department of Northern Luzon, for many months the worst in Luzon. “Colonels Ciprano Callo and Grego- rio Katibac, Malvars, best officers, surrendered to Col. Jacob Cline at Lipa on April 28, with 23 officers, 108 men and 86 rifles.” Later, the following cable message, dated yesterday at Manila, was re- ceived from Gen. MacArthur, announc- ing several other important surren- ders in the Philippines: “Juan and Blas Billamer, leaders Abra, surrendered at Bangued April 27; now engaged assembling scatter- ing commands; delivered arms. Agli- pay, ex-priest, leader Ilocos Norte province, Luzon, surrendered at Laoag, April 28.” Balderimo Aguinaldo and Emilio Aguinaldo, relatives of Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo, and five other insurgent leaders have surrendered. ROBBERS BEHEADED. But the United States Not Given the Credit. Pekin, May 2.—Nine robbers who were caught in the section controlled by the American troops were beheaded yesterday. It was stated that this ac- tion was not taken by order of Gen. Chaffee, but the punishment was in- flicted by the Chinese board under in- structions received from Li Hung Cheng and Prince Ching, the peace enveys. This action is generally re- ceived with satisfaction, although it is said that no credit is due the United States. A noted Boxer chief, who made his headquarters in the American section and who was guilty of killing or or- dering to be killed nearly fifty per- sons, including an assistant of Rev. Gilbert Reid in the international insti- tute, has also bee transferred to the Chinese board of punishments to be dealt with, as Gen. Chaffee, under or- ders from Washington, refused to or- der the death penalty. It is feared that in this case the Chinese plenipo- tentiaries will not order the beheading of the culprit unless pressed, as they are supposed to sympathize with the Boxers. Dr. Reid is seeking his exe- eution by law, but says he is randi- capped by the American policy. He claims that the Americans should have declined to administer a section of Pekin if they were not willing to mete out justice as determined by the inter- national commission, on which the Americans have a representative. 1rO TRANSPORT CHAFFEE’S: ARMY. Fleet Leaves Manila Headed for Taku, China. Washington, May 2.—The transport fleet at Manila, which is to be used in transporting Gen. Chaffee’s army from China to the Philippines, will leave Manila to-day for Taku unless some change has been made in the pre-ar- ranged programme which the war de- partment has not been advised of. There are 1,600 soldiers and about 1,000 horses and mules. to be transferred from China to the Philippines, together with a complete field outfit. The trans- ports Indiana and Sumner are to carry the troops and the transports Lenox and Pakling the horses and transporta- tion and ficld equipment. It is expect- ed that these vessels will be sufficient to move Gen. Chaffee’s entire army in one trip, and that the entire movement can be completed within three weeks. OFFICIALLY ANNOUNCED. Manufacturers of Stationary En- gines to Combine. Philadelphia, May 2.—The first com- bination of manufacturers of station- ary engines, which has been under dis- cussion for some time, was made when William L. Elkins, Jr., announced that Allis-Chambers Engine Building com- pany had been formed, with $12,500,000 preferred stock and $20,000,000 common stock. RED HAT FOR MARTINELLI. Washington, May 2.—Cardinal-elect Martinelli last night received from the hands of a member of the papal guard of Pope Leo XIII., Count Stanislaus Colacchi, who has just arrived from Rome, the consistorial letter formally advising him of his elevation to the cardinalate, and the red zuchetto, em- blematic of that high office. The cere- mony, which was brief and simple, oc- curred at the papal legation at 6 o’clock last evening in the presence of a number of church dignitaries, PEOPLE OF THE SOUTH: FAIRLY OUTNO THEMSELVES. President and Party Given a Taste of Genuine Southern Hospitality —Confederate Veterans Among the President's Most.Enthusiastic Auditors — Memphis the First Resting Place of the Tour—Wel- come to the President Most Ihe pressive — Escort of. Confederate Veterans in Their Old Uniforms Attends the Presidents Memphis, Tenn., May 2:-The° presi-- dential train passed through the heart of Dixie yesterday and at 4:30 reached Memphis, on the banks of the Missis~ sippi. This was the first resting place of the tour. After descending the mountains Monday night the train yes- terday skimmed along through Ala- bama and the valley of. the Tennessee river-and touched at Gorinth, Miss., where Gen. Grant worsted Forrest in his campaign to cut the Gonfederacy in two. ; The heat was rather oppressive, but the weather was not so warm as the president’s welcome. Confederate vet- erans at all stopping: places were among the president’s most enthusias- tic auditors, and that he was impressed with their marks of love and esteem was made evident by the expressions he gave utterance to) in the brief speeches he made at Huntsville, De- eatur, Tuscumbia and Corinth. During the morning at‘ the regular hour for the cabinet assembly, the prgsident summoned his advisers into thé observation car, and there, behind closed doors, the first cabinet meeting on wheels was held. No important ad- vices kad been received from Wash- ington which required action, but the foreign dispatches in the papers were talked over and some of the details as yet undetermined were discussed. Impressive Welcome at: Memphis. At Memphis the party received a wonderfully impressive welcome. A cemmittee, headed by Senator Car- mack, met the train at Corinth and es- corted the party to this city. A na- tional salute of twenty-one guns, fired from the river bluff, signalled the ap pjroach to the city. At the station Gov. McMillin and others reinforced the greetings to the party. A military pa- rade with a company of grizzled Con- federate veterans in their old uniforms acting as the guard of honor, escorted the party in carriages through the principal streets and around the cus- tom house, whence a view of the Mis- sissippi was obtained, to Court square. The city was elaborately decoratea with flags and bunting. Not a resi- dence or business house seemed to have escaped from the desire to decorate in honor of the president's coming. Ban- ners were stretched across the streets bearing such inscriptions as “Mr. Pres- ident, the city is yours,” and “The na- tion’s president.” The cheering through which the pro- cession passed was tremendous at points along the route. In Court: square, where the open air reception” occurred, the platform was so hedged around with roses and other blossoms as to make it a flower show. Over 10,- 000 people were packed into the square when the president was introduced by Mayor Williams. In response to the cheers which greeted him, the presi-- dent made the really First Noted Speech of his trip. His theme was the resist- less power of a united people, and was delivered in his best vein. When he referred in closing to the noble record of Tennessee volunteers in the Span-- ish and Philippine wars, Gov. McMillin led the cheering. After this speech the party was driven to the Twentieth Century club, a ladies’ organization of this city. Here there was a veritable beauty show. About thirty charming~ Southern belles held court in a bower of roses arranged around a gilded arm chair which was designed to hold the president. Mr. McKinley, however, ‘was too wary to be caught in the net. He did not take the chair, but he braved the battery of eyes, and after greeting each of the young ladies per-- sonally, in turn, he was introduced by W. J. Crawford of the Commercial Ap- peal and made a pretty speech. After this function the ladies of the party were taken in hand by the ladies of Memphis. A reception was held in their honor and later a banquet was- given them at the Peabody hotel. At the same time, on the floor above, the president and the gentlemen of his party, with about 200 prominent busi- ness men, sat down to an elaborate dinner. At 1:30 in the morning the presiden- tial train resumed its journey for New Orleans, which will be reached at 4:30 this afternoon. NO MORE FIGHTING. Unless the Chinese, by Hostile Acts, Make It Necessary. Berlin, May 2.—It is stated by offi- cials here that the main German ex- peditionary force in China is now with~ drawing to its former position, leaving a garrison at the pass at the great wall. The non-participation of the French in the battle was not due to orders re- ceived from Paris, but to their faflure to arrive in time. Further expedi- tions are not projected and will oniy be undertaken should the Chinese make them necessary. In official circles it is believed that. Gen. Liu acted upon his own initiativ: or perhaps at the suggestion of some anti-foreign mandarin officials, not be- Neving that the Chinese government ordered Gen. Liu to resist the Ger- mans, since such action is plainly against the government's interests. FREE LOVE ADVOCATE WEDS. Daring Woman Novelist in Paris: ‘Takes a Boy for Her Husband.
