CEREMONY BY GABLE TIES COUPLE IN LEGAL BONDS

Girl in Paris s Wedded to Man in

Nebraska as Judge Asks Questions by Cable. -

Judge Wilber F. Bryant of Hartington, Neb, claims to hold the long distance marrying record. He officiated the other day at a wedding In which the principals were separated hy 4,000 mjles of land and water. The prinpipals were Lester J. Mabeus, a rural mail carrier of Cedar county, Neb., and Miss Maria Hahn, a resident of Paris,” The ceremony was the culmination of a romance begun in France when Mabeus was a! member of the expeditionary force. The two were engaged to be married when Mabeus returned, but the immigration,laws stepped In to bar her out of the country unless she came as the wife of a citizen of the United States. 3 The marriage ceremony was simplicity itself. The bride had been Informed in advance by letter that the cable would be used. Judge Bryant took the bridegroom to the telegraph station. He asked him if he would take Miss Hahn to be his lawfully wedded wifes Mabeus said he would. Then the Judge cabled Miss Hahn asking if she would take Mabeus to. be her lawfully wedded husband. She replied that she would, and when this was received the court pronounced them man and -wife. A -marriage certificate was at once malllgd‘ the bride at her Paris home. | The judge says there is no doubt of the perfect legality of the marriage, and that when Mrs. Mabeus presents this certificate to-the immigration officials the minimum cash in hand clause and other vexatious tangles of the law will be waived because she is the wife of an American citizen. The ceremony took place at T o’clock Hartington time, and the judge waives aside the fact that it was one o'clock in Paris when she got the cable and made answer, thus the pair being married on different days.' Two of the ‘bridegroom’s friénds acted as witnesses. : : §

GOES TO PRISON WITHOUT GUARD

Postmaster Is Convicted of Misappropriating Public Funds.

REVEALS HIS OWN SHORTAGE

Unusual Story of Confession and In- _ tegrity Behind an [rresistible Impulse to Misuse Public Funds— Manifests Honesty From the Start and Is Accorded Benefits of Honor System "by the Court—Shortage Was $1,621. ;

For the first time in the history of Alabama, and perhaps in the South, a federal officeholder, convicted of baving misappropriated . government funds, traveled alone, with no guard, to give himself up to the penitentiary and serve his term.

It’s an unusual story of confession and integrity behind an irresistible impulse to misuse the public funds for urgent private needs, with the full punppose of returning all that was taken. - - ’ Travels Alone to Prison.

Howard T. Paddock is the hero of the incident. He was United States postmaster at Logan, in Cullman county, near Birmingham. ‘He traveled alone 165 miles on the train to the Atlanta penitentiary to serve 13 menths, carrying his own commitment papers, by order of Judge W. J. Grubb of the United States District court. Paddock, who volunteered his shortage of postal funds, manifested honesty from the start and was accorded the benefits of the honor system by the court. In October pestal authorities received a letter frem him asking that they send some one to look over his accounts and stating that he had been forced to use some government funds for private affairs. Believing that the case was of minor importance and could be easily explained and adjusted, a postal inspector ‘was sent to Logan, where Paddock calmly told him the exact shortage was $1,621 and declared it had been necessary for him to borrow this amount te meet vital personal obligations. A close examination of his books confirmed the accuracy of his statement. At the time he promised to raise the money to meet the discrepancy, regardless of what course of prosecution the government might pursue,

He was ladicted- October 27 at Huntsville and appeared before Judge Grubb at the Huntsville term of the court, pleading guilty to the charges. His request to withhold sentence until December 27 in order.that he might try to obtain money to repay the government was granted, and this week promptly at the hour named by Judge Grubb, he appeared at the Federal building .in Birmingham, but declared he had been unable to raise the money after making every possible effort. - . Judge Grubb imposed a sentence of 18 months in the federal penitentiary at Atlanta, had his commitment papers, transportation and other details prepared and presented them to Paddock, ordering him to proceed to Atlanta unguarded te begin his sentence. : L

Charles Cole, a farmer living near Mountain Home, Ark., calls®his «dog home over the telephone when he wants to go hunting, if the dog happens to be around town. For the last month the canine has acquired the loafing habit, hanging around the telephone exchange. The other day Cole called up and asked if his dog .was there, and asked' the operator to send him home if -he was. She tried to drive the dog away but he would not leave. Finally she coaxed him to the board and held the recelver te his ear while his master whistled and called to him. : Barking loudly the dog leaped from the chair and bounded away. In about fifteen minutes Cole called wup and told the- operator the dog had reached home. Now when Cole wants his dog all he has to do is to call the operator; she gets the dog to the phone, his master calls and away he SWALLOWS FALSE TEETH Man Is Carrying Set About With Him Somewhere [hside.
