work mapped out for it. We should bear
in mind to conduct our meetings In a way
that would appeal to the mind and soul
of the people we aproach.
"We should also be more careful In the
Detection of hymns. Sing salvation
hymns. Often you eon sing people to
Heaven quicker than you can preach them
there. And hold more open-air meet
ings." Topics of great importance to the future
of the work In the East and South are

SHRINERS KIDNAP BRIDE
AND HUSBAND IN AUTO
Newlyweds Thought They Were
Sure to Miss Train, but Just
Caught It
Mystic Shrlners, attired In the uniform
of their order, dragged a bridegroom
from his auto and kidnapped a bride, fol
lowing an exciting auto chase down
Broad street. This was all part of the
wedding festivities of Charles Galnford
Cope and Miss Edna Spangler Kolp, who
wero married yesterday under the aus
pices of the Mystic Shrine.
Husband and wife started from the
home of the brldo's parents, Mr. and
Mrs. Robert Patterson Kolp, 2353 East
Dauphin street, with a certainty that
they would have a peaceful trip to Broad
Street Station, where they were to board
a train for New York.
The Shrlners were there In numbers.
Among them were Receiver of Taxes W.
Freeland Kendrick and Supcrltendent of
Polico Robinson. The bridal auto had
scarcely turned the corner when a band
of other autos started in pursuit. A
merry chase followed down Broad street.
After many squares had been traversed
bride and bridegroom were captured.
They dragged the protesting bridegroom
from the auto and whisked him In an
other machine out to KnlrmountPark.
Meanwhile the happy bride was being
taken out along the Northeast Boulevard
in ignorance of the whereabouts of her
husband. And both of them had In mind
that they had to catch a train, and they
knew that railroads don't wait.
But Just as they were beginning to de
spair of ever catching the train, their
captors started to spin southward. Tho
happy bride and the happy bridegroom
wero destined to meet again. They ran
Into each other in Broad Street Station
just in time to catch the train for New
York, from where they left for Bermuda
The wedding was a Shrlners' affair
throughout. Tho couple first met at the
Lulu Country Club, at Edge Hill. The
bridegroom, like many of tho guests, wore
the colorful uniform of the Shrlners. Tho
marriage was performed by tho Rev. H.
Watson Bqrras, of tho Frnnkford Avenue
Baptist Church. Miss Jennie Biggin was
bridesmaid and J. Lodge Nicholson best
man. Upon their return, Mr. and Mrs.
Cope will live at 5103 Angora terrace.

MRS. GALT RETIRES
BEHIND THE VEIL
OF DOMESTIC PRIVACY
President's Fiancee Annoyed by
Circulation of Rumors Con
cerning Plans for
Wedding
TRACED TO VISITORS
WASHINGTON, Oct. ll.-The bars nfo
Up to casual callers at the home of Mrs.
Norman Gait, President Wilson's flnncce.
This Is due to two reasons. First, and
naturally foremost, Is the desire on the
part of tho mistress of tho home to com
plete her trousseau, on which expert
Washington designers are hard nt work.
The second reason Is a desire to sccuro
tho privacy which both President Wilson
and Mrs. Gait believe highly desirous at
the present time.
It Is reported that a number of rumors
regarding the plans of tho engaged couple
whlrli have been given circulation and
have caused Mrs. Oalt annoyance have
( bien dliectly traced to persons who called
m tur uuu uume in me kuibo i iiiuuiuiu
friends. Because of this, announcement
was made today that hereafter all In
formation regarding the plans of either
the President or Mrs. Gait will bo made
public at the White House cxecutlvo offi
ces. Mrs. Gait and her mother, Mrs. William
Bolting, personally are directing the com
pletion of the trousseau. It Is stated that
it is the Intention of Mrs. Gait, following
her wedding, to discard to a great extent
tho dark colors which have been asso
ciated with her for the last seven years,
but she maintains a sphinx-like attitude
when questioned as to her favorite colors.
President Wilson sends a magnificent
bouquet of roses to his fiancee daily.
Despite the fact that tho White House
conservatories are fairly Jammed with
blooms of the rarest character, the Pres
ident purchases the flowers for his ttnncec
at a local florist's, as was his custom
before the formal announcement of the
engagement w-as made. The next public
appearanco of the engaged pair will be
on Saturday of this week, when they are
to be present at an out-of-door demon
stration In honor of tho various public
bands which delighted Washlngtonlans
with concerts during the summer.

POLICE WORKERS HAMPERED
BY LACK OF FUNDS
Department Employes Spent $8000 o
Their Own Money in Work
Special officers of the Department of
Public Safety are creditors of the city to
the extent of JM00, because of money they
have taken from their own pockets to
pay carfare and other expenses while
engaged In the task of obtaining evidence
against criminals.
1 his Unusual situation Is fast becoming
n custom, as Councils have repeatedly
failed to provide for criminal work and
for special Investigations of gambling and
disorderly houses. Becauno of this situa
tion the heads of criminal investlsatlons
have been compelled to go ahead with '
the small fund obtnlnablo and to make
up the deficit themselves.
At tho beginning of the year an appro
priation of J12.000 was asked for Investiga
tion expenses and only $2000 was allowed.
Tai larger sums than the one asked for
tills year have been appropriated under
previous administrations,
Last yenr the same trouble was en
counttrcd and the officers who advanced
their expenses out of their own funds
wero compelled to wait many months un
til their expenditures were provided for
In n deficiency bill. This condition has
been tepeatcdly referred to by Mayor
Blankenburg In messages to Councils.
The members of the Finance Committee
of Councils are thoroughly conversant
with this situation, but as yet have taken
no steps to pay the officers or to provide
any funds for expenses and investigation
work to be made between now and the
close of tho year.
