Indianapolis News M iSS ELOPES —£ Elderly Townsman Flavors Love Affair With Mrs. Cordelia Roach With A DASH OF ROMANCE 1 Couple Supposed Married Last July Go to Hillsdale © Last Day of Year. Decatur” friends of Al Ross, wt R known, man about town, will be heartily surprised to learn that with Mrs. Cordelia R®e<h, of Fort Wayne, he ; eloped to Hillsdale, Mich., and was jmarried then* to that lady on the last day of the old year by Justice ,c. M. W aver utithc tjpurt Iftusa, acI cording !<> a fTillsdale dispatch in the i Ft. Wayne Newt) & Sentinel. -In speaking of this tmafiage and another at HilUdale, the Ft. Wayne paper ■ makes the following comment: -The names cf none of the above persons, excepting ilia of dr--. Roach, appear in the" Fort Wayne I city directory. Decatur people will remember that they were given’ the impression that Mr. and Mrs. Ross were married last July. Such was the impression given a reporter when |he saw Mr. Ros«f| I accompany a lady to the interurban car. Tuesday afternoon, July 2. and saw hi’n kiss hos good-bye. while he sat on the arm Os her seat and looked at her with very evident and loverlike affection. The lady also showed , symptoms. It may have, been the :c- --. porter’s old maid standard that kisses should bo the effect and not rhe cause of marriage; or It may have been because the woman said she was “Mrs. Ross returning to Fort Wayne.” At any rate the reporter ~ was given the impression, whether - Intentionally or not. that they were I married.’ Come to think of it, the I woman may have said site was “Mrs. Roach returning to WV>rt. Wayne.’’ But a the reporter understood her to say “Mrs Ross" and lost no time in ask ’• ing for more details of the marriage i that the townsman might have justice

in having it written up just as | “scrumptious” as marriage deserves.) When the reporter asked the lady’s former name she said: “Mrs. Cordelia ; Roach of Fort Wayne ” But when the pen pusher asked for such minor d ? I tails as where, when and by whom the marriage was performed, the answr-W gftw tnfcrtWfeiWt , answered to the effect that it. could be made known later. It may justj have been the bashfulness of the sup i posed groom and his desire not to apI pear ungallant in denying his I riage to the lady; but at any rate it) ipassed muster anti the following item I i appeared in that evening’s paper: “Mrs. Al Ross left yesterday afternoon for Fort Wayne for a visit. The ) many friends of Mr. Ross, well known J townsman, will be surprised to hear es ills marriage. In fact, the first ink- ) Ung many had of the same was when they saw him at the interurban sta- ' tion yesterday, kissing the lady goodbye. Mr. Ross did not relate the full i detvils of the wedding, hut the briie |is said to have been Mrs. Cordelia Roach before her marriage to Mr. a) Ross.” t i To make the item more convincing. s l sometime later in the month a neat s | appearing, white-aproned lady was -•! seen on the Ross porch on Nortl (Continued on Page Four)

HUNTSTHE TEST SAYSMR.M’ADOO © Tells Some Facts About Government Ownership of Railroad Lines. AND WARNS (’ONGFESS That Unless Fair Time is Given the Roads May be Turned Back Soon. (United Press Service) Washington, Jan. 3—(Special to Daily Democrat)—Return of the railroads to the several hundred compaii---ies which controlled them before the war is impossible if certain important reforms are to be preserved. Director General McAdoo declared in a statement to the senate interstate commerce committee today. McAdoo declared there are three alternatives in the railroad situation: 1 Return to several hundred companies controlling them before the war. 2 Government ownership and control. > 3 Reconstruction of the railroad map so as to wipe ou; the hundrsls of different companies and substitute - few, under strict government cor. trol, to combine the advantages of unified operations witli initiative of private management. McAdoo persented a complete review of the policies inaugerated by the railroad administration. “Many of the changes In the railroad oi inaugerated during the * reriod of ilw last year hould prove of permanent value and should continue if possible whatever form of control?is decided upon for the railroads,” said McAdoo. Among these reforms McAdo acluded: Maintenance of t’ur, pe mit am so as to control traffic al it Maintenance cf heavy loads for cars Pooling of repair shops. Elimination of circuitous routes. Unification Os terminals. Consolidation of ticket offices. Utilization of universal mileage tickets. Standardization of equipment. | Maintenance of a uniform freight ciussificiiiion introduced by the railroad administration. Common time tallies between important points. High demurrage rates and uniform irules. Establishment of through waybilling freight from point of original to destination. He warned congress that unless a I fair time is given for a test of the policies, through continuation of the I government, control, the government ! will not feel like holding tho roads for tho entire 21 months period after the wm. which the law fi»es as the limit of federal control. He urged ! congress to continue government con-

trol until Jan. 1. 1924, as a means of providing a fair test. Ho predicted that if government I control is continued a surplus of SIOO,000,000 will be built up for the govj emmest during the year. He also ) predicted a considerable reduction in I rate by the end of 1919. THE RESCUE WORK (United Press Service) Fire Island, N.
