THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM A-ND SUN-TELEGRAM, SATURDAY, Dec. 6. xrna

;e of floods HAPPILY CULMINATES Dr. Chas. Pavey and Louise Fielding Tell Story of Engagement. TWAS WORK OF FATE Bridegroom Run Down and Taken to Hospital Where He Met Bride. A romance of the spring floods of ll13 calling up visions of hillocks of :old baked beans and whole mountains )f stale bread with water to be had 'or every purpose except drinking was arought to light yesterday at the unon station when Dr. Charles Pavey of Albany, New York, and Miss Louise Yielding of St. Louis met there and left a short time later to seek a license to wed in Covington, Ky. Dr. Pavey is a lieutenant in the New V'ork national guard. When the first ild reports of flooded Ohio cities reached the east, he rushed at once to New York City and caught the Patlerson relief special which left for Dayton within a few hours after the news of the catastrophe was received. Miss Fielding was visiting a sister ;n Youngstown at the time the waters of the Miami left their banks and submerged thecity. She was a trained nurse and identified with the Red I'ross service. Harkening to the call of her profession, she immediately started for the scene of the inundation. Traveling by steam, automobile and for the last few hours of the journey In a farmer's wagon she reached the city before the waters had scarcely started to recede. She was placed in charge of the temporary hospital which was placed at the Longfellow school house where a relief station had been established. Fate jerked the strings blindly in her usual able manner, the lieutenant was run down by an automobile and taken past half a dozen temporary morgues and hospitals to the Longfellow school house where he met Miss Fielding and Cupid took charge. When military law was lifted the lieutenant returned to his home. Miss Fielding left a few days later for St. Louis. Before they separated arrangements were made to carry on a correspondence. The affair took the usual course laid down by Laura Jean Libby and other authorities on what shall happen when injured army officers are cared for by Red Cross nurses. The couple arranged to be married in Dayton by an Episcopalian minister, who became acquainted with them at the relief station. Owing to a change in schedule of trains, the prospective bridegroom got in town ahead of time, while the bride was delayed several hours. The minister was compelled to leave the city before she arrived. The lieutenant at once wired her that they would meet in Richmond instead and be married here. On his way ever a loquacious traveling man, who never suspected the cause of his acquaintance's questionings, informed the prospective bridegroom that nonresidents can not be married in Indiana. He also told him that objections of this nature matter not in Kentucky. So the couple stopped over half an hour in Richmond, told their story to an inquisitive newspaper man and then lef Covington, Ky. ASKS $5,000 DAMAGES -'( " --w ' Wambsgans Alleges He Lost Hand By C. & O.'s Negligence. Demand for $5,000 for personal damages was entered In circuit court by Albert Wambsgans against the C. & O. railroad company. The loss of a hand and of wages from Incapacity to work, are named as separate items for damage. Wambsgans was working for the company on a steam ditching machine train under orders of a superintendent. He says the superintendent instructed him to release a pulley which bad beea caught, and while he was ioing this his hand and fingers were mangled. Amputation of the hand uras necessary. EXPLAINS METHOD OF STAMP SELLING There seems to be considerable misunderstanding regarding the method of distribution of Red Cross Christmas seals in Richmond, according to Dr. S. Edgar Bond, of the Wayne County Anti-Tuberculosis society. Seals have been placed on sale in a large number of down town stores. The money derived will go directly to the society. Arrangements have been made, whereby the selling campaign will be under the charge of the Domestic Science association. This organization will be assisted by a large number of ! women's clubs of the city. A house to house canvas will be made. The money thus derived will be di vided equally between the Anti- Tu-1 cerculosis society and tno organization selling the seals. Half of the money obtained by the society will be retained in this county and the other half divided equally between the state end national organizations. The AntiTuberculosis society will have full charge of oil sales made in the county outside of Richmond.

Is he tracing a map of Mexico or planning a new currency bill? This (picture made a, few days ago in the Executive Offices of the White House shows President Wilson at work at his desk. Standing by his side is the popular "Joe" Tumulty, his right hand man and secretary. Much has been written about how the President works. He is said to operate his own typewriter, transcribe his own shorthand notes. Very often when discussing issues with callers he makes stenographic . notes on a pad and it was said not long ago that he made shorthand notes of his Mobile speecli on his cuff and referred to them as he spoke.

RECRUITING OFFICER REJECTSJOREIGNERS Corporal Says All Recruits Must Be Able to Read and Write. Because they were unable to read) and write English, Mike Baranski, a Russian who had served in the Rus-, an army, and Antony Leonardi, an Italian, were rejected for enlistment by local Recruiting Officer Abbott Both were anxious to become American soldiers and left the station much disappointed. Through a twelve-year-old boy, who interpreted for him the Italian, Leonardi, told Corporal Abbott he had wanted to become an American soldier ever since he came to this country. Although he could get the meaning from simple passages written in English Leonardi could not pronounce the words, and was able to use only a few English words. Two reasons are generally given by foreigners who apply for positions In ,. . the army, according to Abbott. It gives them a chance to improve their education. Foreigners who have suffi - cient knowledge of the language to be I admitted to the army, then receive i training at the posts and barracks ! during the winter month. By the time j their period of service has expired I they have the fundamentals of an ed-1 ucatlon which will enable them to rise ! above their fellow countrymen who have spent the same length of time working in the ditches and quarries. Soldiers in the United States army are better housed, fed and . clothed than those of most any other army in the world, said Corporal Abbott, which also is an inducement to the foreign - ers. 'inese men are nore saving than the American born soldier and will save a large part of their pay during their three years In the service, which enables them to start up in some kind of business for themselves.

GEN. HUERTA ORDERS DRAFTS FOR ARMY

All Classes Included in Conscription Plan of Dictator. MEXICO CITY, Dec. 6. Extraordinary efforts are being made by General Huerta to increase his army. A bill was drafted today providing for general conscription throughout the federel districts and adjacent territory. It orders recruits to be chosen by lot and all males of military age are subject to its provisions. Hitherto the government has made the lower classes bear the brunt of the warfare, but hereafter members of all classes mus take their chances. This is likely to aleniate many influential Mexicans who have hitherto supported the dictator, but he will leave no possible means of strengthening his army, unused. Congress is expected to pass the bill immediately. The finances of the government are becoming worse daily. Today women were thrown out of work by an order preventing the making of clothes for the army. There are now 15,000 idle workers in the city. General Maure today was appointed military commander of the capital. His appointment shows that Blanquet's influence is supreme in the cabinet. MAJORITY SPEAKS ENGLISHJLANGUAGE Foreign Born Prefer English Tongue to Those of Mother Countries. WASHINGTON, Dec. 6. That preponderance of foreign born white people in the United States speak the English tongue is revealed in a report on the native languages of the foreign white stock In the United States, about to be issued by Director W. J. Harris, of th Bureau of Census, Department of Commerce. The statistics in this report, prepared under the supervision of William C. Hunt, chief statistician for populal tion, with the assistance of Dr. Daniel Folkmar, expert special agent, sho that 31.1 per cent of the foreign wh population of this country use the Elish tongue. German ranks next wth 27.3 per cent while Italian is the xt highest with 6.7 per cent. Polish .fxt with 5.3 per cent, and then follof in order Swedish, French and Norw1an. These eight tongues make up 8 per cent of the total, leaving 12.5 pf cent distributed among the other lother tongues. These facts seem to contract the popular impression that the iflux of immigration from the south uropean countries Is giving the larr representation to the Latin, Grees and Slavonic languages. How small a factor the Jnews" immigration from southern eastern Europe really is up to theresent may be better shown by connrinK !t with the total white populate of the United States. Taking as-100 per cent the total white populan of the United States in 1910, numbering 81,731,957, the so-called "nefve stock" constitutes 60.5 per cerand the three great linguistic fatr(Pe8 of foreign stock from northwern Europe constitute 27.1 per ce making a total of 87.6 per cent. elements from southern and easlfn Europe constitute, therefore, le than 13 per cent of the total. Of t8 the two principal Latin mother ton -the French and the Italian conute less than 5 per cent, and the f principal Slavic mother tongue'-the Polish and the Bohemian an'he Hebrew, taken together, contri6 also ,ess than 5 per cent, leaving-P a11 016 remaining mother tongv another 5 per cent or less of the l"11REPRESENTATIVE JNDANAPOLIS SALES INDIAi'POLIS.

Dec. 6 The first . militant suffragist outbreak against an official of the American govern- ; ment was staged today when Secretary of State Bryan was challenged at ' the convention of the National popular 'government league with the cry: "How about justice for women?"

A tall slender woman arose in a seat near the front of the G K. R. hall where ithe meeting is beinf held and called out, "How about wtiuen, Mr. Bryan? Are not women eojle?" Her act "floored the secretary for a moment. A dozev other women with angry gestures ch.med in: "Yes, how about women? Aiswer that Mr. Secretary."
