Their Love Must Stand a Two Years’ Test Before the Future Bride's Mother Consents to Their Marriage. | | | [ sl Miss Genevieve Nolan and Ivan Tread- well are engaged to pe married. It is a probationary betrothal as far as Miss No- lan's mamma goes, but the young people | have vowed faith and constancy and stand ready to submit to the rigorous | test of time Mrs. Nolan has decided | | upon. No announcement has been made of the engagement and no wedding day set. If, | however, In two years Miss Nolan and | Mr. Treadwell are still of the same mind | and heart Mrs. Nolan will say, “Bless | | you, my children,” public announcement | | will be made and preparations made for | & brilllant wedding. At the home of her parents on Golden | | Gate avenue last evening Miss Genevieve | admitted, between blushes, ..at she and the | i youngest of Treadwells had | ged their troth. i ‘We're engaged,” she said, “but we are not vet ready to announce it. Just at | present mother objects to my getting married. It {s nothing personal about | Ivan. She fears that, because my broth- | er and his wife are having trouble, I might not be happy with my sister-in- law's brother. But because my brother and Ivan's sister are not congenially mated that is no reason, I hold, that Ivan | and I should not be happy. We love each other, however, and are content to walt. We can stand the test.” Miss Genevieve Nolan, for whom young Treadwell will have to serve a two years' | probationary term, Is the second daugh- | ter of P. F. Nolan, the well-known shoe manufacturer and merchant. She is a stylish blonde, charming and accom- plished. She is a graduate of the Sacred Heart Convent and has traveled exten- sively. Ivan Treadwell is the youngest of the Treadwell heirs and when he at- tains his majority he will come in to a fortune of nearly half a million. the Additional Lights for Richmond.

Singapore Pineapple. = 12%¢ SERGEANT McMANUS SCREAMED WITH JOY | Eighty-Five Mongolians Captured by a Clever Ruse While Playing Fantan. Sergeant McManus and posse beat the record for Chinatown captures last night. They arrested eighty-five Chinese in a Ross-alley club and charged them with visiting a fantan game. The capture was accomplished by a clever ruse which sur- priged the wily heathen, and before they knew what had happened the entire com- pany in the gaming room were made prisoners. About one month ago the Canton Club opened with splendid festivities at 8 Ross alley. It had accommodations for more gamblers than any other club in the Chi- nese quarter, and since its opening night it has been a “mint” for its proprietors. Sergeant anus strained his wits tim never able to de- scend upon anything but a bevy of inno: cent domino players at the tables. Last night he effected a capture. Streams of players passed into the prem- ises while he worked below, tapping the sewer pipe that leads from the club room. Two of his officers then rapped on the door and demanded admittance. The gamblers hurriedly gathered up their par- aphernalia and dumped it into the sewer vipe. It fell into McManus' clutches and Le screamed with delight. 2 The elghty-five prisoners, together with a large sum of money used in the game, re faken to the City Hall, where they were locked up. Theéy were bailed out later. —_———————— GENERAL AGRAMONTE SURRENDERS HIMSELF Presents Himself in Court to Answer Chretien’s Charge and Is Re- leased on Bail. General C. H. M. y Agramonte, accom- panied by his attorney, ex-Judge Pierce, walked into Judge Cabaniss’ courtroom | yesterday morning and Attorney Plerce announced that the general had called to surrender himself on the charge of em- bezzlement preferred against him by John M. Chretien. “The general had been here for a month prior to August 22, when the warrant was issued,” sald Attorney Plerce, “and no steps were taken to arrest him till he had left the city on his way to his home in_the City of Mexico. As soon as he learned on his arrival there that the warrant had been issued he returned here, arriving on October 9, as he was determined to have the staim on his reputation removed. No- tice had been sent to W. S. Barnes, Chre- tien's attorney, and to your Honor that the general was here to surrender him- self and was stopping at the Golden West Hotel, but' no action has been taken to frest him and he is tired walting any onger."” e Judge sent Bailiff Fleming to police headquarters for the warrant and it was served on the general. He was booked at the City Prison and immediately released on $600 bonds, accepted by Judge Cabaniss, the sureties being Charles L. Patton and E. L. Lilienthal. Attorney Barnes was notified of the general's surrender and the case will be called this morning. —_—e———— Professor Jordan Lectures.
