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.
WRAPPED UP IN A BLANKET
Not Thief's Defi of Weather His
Booty Was Enveloped
A lone negro trudging- along Bryn Mawr
avenue, Overbrook, at dawn today, had a
blanket.
The blanket was valuable. This Is what
It contained: Five suits of clothes, 4
pairs of shoes, 3 watches, 2 stickpins, silk
stockings, silk waists, silk ribbons, a cigar
cutter, a cigar lighter and oh, yes, a pair
of combs. There was 1500 worth of plun
der in the blanket.
Mounted Policemen Smith and Fergu
son, of the 61st and Thompson streets sta
tion, sighted the man near Overbrook ave
nue and pursued him when he. tan. At
bay, he pulled a 32-calibre revolver, but
was subdued and taken to the station. He
said he was David Colbert. 27 yesrs old.
2050 Pemberton street, and that he and
a friend had stolen the spoils from two
men they had found asleep in the woods
near Cynwyd. The loot, he said, was
In suitcases and a bundle, and thev
had wrapped it all In the blanket so as
to carry It. The police believe the prop
erty Is some of that recently taken by
burglars from the home of George M.
!Iaskel at Cynwyd,
Colbert said there was silverware
amonar the contents ot the suitcases, but
that his companion from whom he sep
arated later had it. The police are look
ing for the two men who were asleep

GOVERNOR HAS NO APOLOGY
Says He Had No Interest in Smith's
Mayoralty Candidacy
Governor Brumbaugh today declined to
add to what little he hod 'to say upon
his return from San Francisco yesterday
afternoon, regarding the deal that re
sulted tn the naming of Thomas B. Smith
as the republican Organisation "har
mony" candidate.
The Governor yesterday said that he
sees no reason for apologizing for any
thing. "My letters were a sufficient explana
tion of my reasons for taking the action
I did," he said, "and I certainly see no
reason for apologizing for anything I
did, and I have no Intention of so doing."
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.

ARCTIC EXPLORER FOUND
;"ip
II aaB41)la4 SWhi. "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

last April when Mr. Stefansson separated
himself from his baso party. 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.

after the primaries. It read:
Ills letter, which was addressed to John
Walton, chairman of the committee, fol
lows: Dear sir:
At no time have I understood that
the Public Service Committee Of One
Hundred has Indorsed any candidate
for Mayor, nor do I look for such
action before the primary election.
The victor In this friendly contest
within the Independent ranks will, no
doubt, be a man whom the people can
absolutely depend upon to fight the
contractors' conspiracy candidate at
the general election, and he will,
therefore, without question then re
ceive tno hearty support of tho Pub
lic Service Committee of One Hun
dred. Tours very truly.

that the "N. B. T."
shades have the rainbow
on the run.

distinction.
Ct, We cannot success
fully transfer models
to paper we can only

in clothes, there would
be only one clothing
