Clarence Pinion, the young carpentei

is charged with bigamy by the girl’s
brother because the wedding occurred
twelve hours before Pinion's divorce
from his first wife was granted, gave
himself up to Justice of the Peace Gi
rardieu this morning.
Pinion told the jurist that when the
bailiff was searching for him last night
he was at the home of Rev. Mr. Vaughn
on Larkin street getting married a sec
ond time to Lulu Belle. He said that
the minister had told him that the first
marriage wasn’t legal because his di
vorce hadn’t been granted then.
“So i went back and had him do it
over,” said Pinion. ’’And it your honor
wants me to marry’ her again I'll start
right out again, for I like to merry het
better than any girl I ever knew.”
Brothers Stall

Ths judge told Pinion that he would
let him go free on his ow n recognizance

Lulu Belle’s brother, T. T. Ixtwry,

out bail. He said he would prosecute
the bigamy charge to the last ditch.
Pinion says he’s living with his bride

not fear 1 he angry brother and declares
they’re going to live together in spite
of all the attempts of her relatives to
Kepaiate them.

Lula Belie Low rv had been loving
Pinion,for a long time. She had aven
known him before her mother died in
Edgewood, two years ago. and the
mother died knowing that the girl
rated very much for a man who was
already married.
The mother was gone and the broth
ers and sisters of Lula Belle took it
upon themselves to see that the girl
was protected from her Infatuation.
First she went to live with a married
sister, but the sister would not let her
see Pinion, and she left for another
home. Here also the love affair crop
ped out and Lula Helle took up abode
with still a third relative in the Hum
phrey street section of the town.
And always Pinton courted her. ad
mitting he had a wife, but pleading
that he was divorcing her and would
not seek to marry Lula Belle until aft

TIPPING BARRED HERE,
BUT THE HOUSE GETS
YOU AS YOU SETTLE
BERLIN. May 29.- Enterprising Ger
mans have evolved a scheme for com
’ pulsory tipping. The innovation is to
i be tried this year al Bad Salzbrunn. a
’ well known spa in Silesia, which is
1 owned by the Prince of Pless. The
management of the baths and springs
and of the leading hotels and boarding
houses have leagued themselves to
gether for the purpose of making it a
misdemeanor for any servant to take a
tip. Guests are to be made to co
operate by having from 10 to 14 per
cent of their total weekly bills tacked
on thereto. The net proceeds will be
distributed pro rata among the waiters,
chambermaids, “button'” and other
servants of the community.

PARIS, May 29. —There is a new

balls, but now it has been Imported
into the most select circles. But the
mothers of the noble Fauboug look at It
askance. It Is certainly daring, for

mittee will ask council to buy a num
ber of vacant lots that are now a drug

THEY’RE TRYING TO KICK

WASHINGTON, N. J„ May 29.
Harried not only by those who would '

he has not been able to maintain his
perch there, Clinton Weaver posted a <
$25 reward for any one with the hard!- :
hood to swear that he has seen Weaver
drink at any bar since February’ 11.
Weaver says he was spurred to of- i
fer the reward by reason of the fact
that some people have tried to under- ,
mine his resolution, descending at I
times to the despicable resource of 1
sending liquor to his home to tempt i
him after a hard day’s work. I

BATTLE TO THE KNIFE
ANDKNIFETOHILLSAYS
WATSON AS WAB OPENS
Declares He’ll Run the Whole Show,
Rejecting All Suggestions of Peace.
Report That Governor Brown Plead
ed With Him in Vain For Long Time.
Felder Declares He Will Stick to His Guns and
Fate of the Combatants Seems to Rest With
Fifth District---Great Convention Starts With
Finish Fight Certain.
Unless all signs fail, and nothing seems more likely, the
question of Thomas E. Watson’s going to Baltimore as a dele
gate at large to the national convention will be fought on the
floor of the state Democratic convention today to a complete
and absolute finish.
Watson at 11 o'clock this morning declared himself uncom
promisingly for war to the knife, and the knife to the hilt.
Felder, for a time last night more or less placated and ap
peased, is today as immovably anti-Watson as he was when first
he accepted Watson's taunting challenge to battle Monday.
Desperate. even agonized, ef
forts were made in the direction
of at least an approximate cessa
tion of hostilities and compro
mise last night, and for a little
while those hearts bent upon a
cairn convention were slightly op
timist ie.
State Politics
Now Mixed.
. This 'morning the fat la all back in
the fire, and nothing short of Watson's
triumph or utter humiliation will be
the result of today's convention at lite
Grand opera house.
if state polities had not become so
vexingly interwoven in the Watson
row, the solution of the puzzle might
be easy enough. It would mean Wat
son's entire defeat.
But state politics has been mixed in
it. and mixed so surely and so dis
tressingly that nt, man dare try further
to get it out.
All controversy threw peace over
tures and efforts to the winds this
morning, and the decks have been
cleared for action and a fight to a
finish
Some of John M. Slaton’s friends,
who ate also Eelder's and Watson's
friends, endeavored last night and late
yesterday afternoon to get Watson and
his cohorts into a compromising frame
of mind. There were evidences that for
a time these endeavors might result in
something worth while.
When Watson made his little talk
at tile Watson meeting at the Kimball
last night, these negotiations had not
been concluded. Mr Watson had lis
tened. for the moment, to the sirene call
of peace.
It was while the matter was in the
air that Watson deviated he was for a
lovefeast today, provided it could be
pulled off.
Late last night, however, things went
to pieces again—and this morning Wat
son is the same Watson that stepped off

Discussing the situation this morn
ing. Mr. Watson declared that there
could not. In decency or common sense,
be anything of compromise in him.
"I can not alt on the delegation with
Mr. Eelder; I will not sit there with
Mr. Brantley.
“I must be placed absolutely at the
head of the Georgia delegation, and
that delegation must be made up en
tirely and exclusively of my friends. I
would not care to go to Baltimore em
barrassed by a hostile and unfriendly
delegation behind me.
"I shall begin my tight immediately
after the temporary organization is un
dertaken.
"I shall move that all secret cau
cuses held last night and this morning
be set aside and abrogated, and that
every county vote for itself in open
convention, county by county, upon
every question coming up.
"1 shall triumph or fall in that fight.
Its outcome will show conclusively
whether I am to control or be con
trolled.
"I am content to stand ot fall by it.
I am right; I would rather be right
titan be elected chairman of the dele
gation to Baltimore at a sacrifice of
honor and principle "
Peace Overtures
Rejected, He Says.
"My friend. .1. .1. Brown." continued
Mr. Watson, "came to me last night
and said Eelder wanted to know if 1
would meet him in conference io talk
things over.
"I unhesitatingly refused to moot
Eelder for any purpose.
"Such overtures of peace as had beer,
made Io nw befoie Brown saw me were
made upon a basis that I felt | might
consider. But when It came to meeting
Eelder and talking things over with hitr
I balked
"I have finally and definitely deter
mined to put this matter to a test in the
convention.
