ELOPING GIRL LOYAL TO ARRESTED LOVER Sobs Promise to Cling to Him. "Through With Her," He Says A train from Detroit was pounding to ward Philadelphia today. It was filled with happy passengers. Commercial travelers were glad becauso soon they would be with wives and children. Vaca tion tourists were on their way to pleas ant scenet and good friends or home ward bound after a season of rest and recreation, the memories of which still were fresh and sweet. In one coach sat a young man, about 28, and a fair young woman, about 10 years his Junior. Tho young- man stared out the window with a faco of sullen doom. Tho girl looked down at the hands In her lap, twisting and untwisting her wet handkerchief. She was weeping. In a seat facing the two was a man whose eyes never "left them for an In stant. The happy passengers saw the unhappy man and the unhappy girl and then considerately looked away. They wondered what was the sorrow of these young people. They did not know, yet they sympathized and pitied. The man that faced them stared un affected by tho young man's sullen and hopeless scowl and unmoved by the girl's tears. HE DESCUTED HIS WIFE. The young man had deserted his wlfo and thrown away tho hope of inheriting his employer's business to elope with the girl to Detroit. The second man was the detective who had been sent to bring the young man back, after his late employer had filed a charge of embezzlement against him. When -Yest Philadelphia was reached the girl threw her arms around the man and, sobbing, declared her undying love for him, and pledged herself to cling to him, como what may; to bear with him whatever punishment he might have to bear. When Broad Street Station was reached the detective tore the young man from the girl's arms and took him to Central Police Court for a hearing. In his cell the' voung man blamed the girl for leading him astray, and said he was "through with her for good." The young man was William Knoerl, of 24(3 North Clarion street. The girl, whose romantic dream had turned to bit ter ashes, w.as Cecilia Lewis, of Wyalus- mg avenue, near 39th street. The accusing employer was Charles H. Bird, a real estate dealer, of 3900 Poplal street. LETTER DISCLOSES THEM According to Detective Souder, Knoerl had obtained a good position In Detroit na an insurance Inspector and the couple had started housekeeping. When their whereabouts were disclosed by a lettet the girl sent to a friend in this city, Boudcr went to Detroit and found Miss Lewis, who refused to tell where the missing man was. She was finally fright ened Into calling him on the telephone and the arrest was made after the call hud been traced. "I'm going tn go back to Philadelphia, with you," Souder declares the girl said When Knoerl was arrested and she purr chaed a ticket for the same train. When Knoerl was arraigned for a hear ing before Magistrate Pennock Detectlyo Souder said he did not believe the amount the prisoner Is accused of taking from his employer would exceed J1000. Experts are now engaged In going over the books. Knoerl was held for a further hearing Wednesday.

He said that he did not discuss the mayoralty with Mr. Smith, and was not Interested In him as a candidate for Mayor. "I did not discuss the mayoralty wtth Mr. Sinlth," ho said, "and while It was true, as my letter to him Indicated, that he had been mentioned as a candidate for Mayor. I hnd no reason then to believe that he regarded the use of his name seriously. I was not Interested In Mr. Smith as a candidate for Mayor. Neither was I directly Interested In tho candidacy ot any other man. I had no knowledge of Congressman Vare's mind In regard to his candidacy. I did not question him on the matter, and he did not en lighten me." The Governor also said that he had done nothing more than to contribute to party harmony, without regard to any man's candidacy.

"aBHP Vilhjalmur Stefansson, the noted Canadian Arctic explorer, long feared lost, has been found. A note dated August 31, from Baillic Island, was received by the Canndian Government today. It was the first word from Stefansson since April, 1914. Above is shown the explorer's boat Karluk stuck fast in the Arctic ice. STEFANSSON, LONG MISSING, IS SAFE Continued from Page One regions, reported that Stefansson and his exploring expedition are safe and well on Banks Land, which lies 70 miles south west of Melville Island, In the Arctic archipelago. The explorer sent dis patches to the Canadian Government on the Ruby. Balllle Island, where Stefansson Is now safe and well. Is In tho Arctic Ocean, west of Hcrschcll Island, at the mouth of the Mackenzie River. As Stefansson's message reports plans for further exploration. It Is taken for granted that he was entirely unaware of tho grave apprehension for his safety. Stefansson's expedition sailed in 1912 to discover new lands in the Arctic. SCIENTISTS HERE PRAISE WORK OF STEFANSSON Geographical Society Men Hail News From Explorer Amazement was expressed in Philadel phia among scientists and members of geographical societies over the news of Explorer Stefansson's safety. Professor William E. Llngelbach, presi dent of the Geographical Society, said: "Every ono who knew Mr. Stefansson expected, of course, that he would go into retirement to continue his Investiga tions, but hope was lost when what was thought to be a reasonable period for him to finish this work had expired. "I am not certain as to the date, and Indeed, my work In the Geographical So ciety Is rather removed from a very In timate knowledge of exploration, but It seems to me It was about a year ago g '"dErfs? kUturaaemM CELEBRATED HATS Fall Styles Now on Sale 014 Chestnut Street PHILADELPHIA New York Chlcnao AKtnelea la All Principal Cities.

This was not surprising, of course, because It was expected that ho would withdraw to study more closely the white Eskimo. "Then, for a time, every ono waited for news, and finally, when none came, hope of his returning allvo was virtually abandoned. "Of course, the news that he Is alive must cauno rejoicing among all scientists and other persons interested in human progress." Professor Llngelbach said that Henry G. Bryant, of the society, could speak with more authority on the importance of Stefansson'n work, but Mr. Bryant Is still at Lake Huron, "Good," tald Edwin S. Batch, pioneer member of the Geographical Society, when told 'of Stefansson's message. "That Is splendid. Very few persons expected to hear of his being alive. It being about a ear and a half since news was re ceived of his whereabouts. "The message Is doubly welcome be cause, unquestionably, Mr. Stefansson will have something important to tell. Wo will all wait with great Interest for what has been accomplished. There is certainly cause for great elation among scientists and others over the world from Ballllo Island."

LIPPINCOTT MARRIAGE ILLEGAL, SAYS BISHOP ! Ma Canons of Episcopal Church Violated by Clergyman, Rhinelandcr Asserts The New Tork clergyman who officiated at the marriage of Jay ft. Llpplncott, clubman and member of the family ot publishers ot that name, to Mrs. Mary I Bogert Huntington, divorced wife of E. Irving Huntington, violated the tenets of the Episcopal Church, If the ruling of Bishop Rhlnelander, head of the Episco pal diocese of Philadelphia, Is accepted. Bishop Rhlnelander said today that the canons of tho church forbid the remarry ing of any person while his or her hus band or wife was still living, provided that the person was not the Innocent party In a divorce for adultery. "Does that mean, then, thnt a woman divorced for barborous treatment could not remarry?" the bishop was asked. The bishop replied In the affirmative. The cause for which the divorce In the case of Mr. and Mrs. Huntlngtno was granted last yesr wos on the grounds of barbarous treatment. The canons of the Episcopal Church refer to the matter ns follows: "No minister, knowingly, after due In quiry, shall polemize the marriage of any person who has been or Is tho husband or wife of any other person then living from whom he or she has been divorced for any causo arising after marriage. But this canon shall not be held to apply to the Innocent party In a divorce for ndultery. Provided, that before the ap plication for such remarriage a period of not less than a year shall have elapsed after the granting of such a divorce and provided that It shall be within the dis cretion' of any minister to decline to solemnize any marriage." Tho nuptials were solemnized at noon at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Henry I Bogert, nt Flushing. L. I. The news of their wedding came ns a complete surprise to their friends, as no announcement had been previously made. The married life of Mr. and Mrs. Hunt ington was tempestous. Their engage ment In 1910 was broken, but later. In June, they were married on the same day they beenme reconciled. Since their di vorce Mrs. Huntington has spent a great part of her time In New York. Mr. and Mrs. Ltppincott are spending their honeymoon on an extended auto mobile tour.
