Peters was living with his wife and
four children when he eloped with
Mlse Bettle Freeman, daughter of
R. A. Freeman, a neighbor.
The girl wished to communicato
with her parents, so a letter was writ

dressed to the postmaster of Denver,
with the request that the outer en
velope be thrown away and the inner
envelope containing the letter be
mailed. The postmaster did as In

WASHINGTON. May 23.—Defend
ing the right of the United States to
protect her own land against the in
vast on of aliens*. Representative Sis
son. of Mississippi, urged on the
House to-day the necessity of curtail
ing the treaty-making power of tiie
President and the Senate. He arivo
cated the extension of the right of
ratifying treaties to the representa
tives of the people. Sisson disclaimed
any intention of making a war speech
and explained that he merely sought
to sustain the right of America to
control her own soil.
“If any nations,” he continued,
“should decide that they will dictate
how our land laws should be made,
then we will he unworthy of national
existence if we submit to such dicta
tion. Does anyone claim that this is
a declaration of war because I an
nounce this truth?
“It is no declaration of war for the
United States Government to decline
to override the rights of a sovereign
State at the dictation of a foreign
power.
Wants Peace Only.
Nothing has been further from my
mind than to embarrass or terid to
render more difficult the peaceful so-
j lution of whatever differences, real or
imaginary, may exist between the
friendly Government of Japan and
our own Government. Our officials;
are to bo commended for their wise
and earnest effort to maintain peace
ful relations between the United
States and Japan.
“A treaty can not compel any de
partment of *he Government to do
what the Constitution forbids it to do.
On these Questions the true canon of
construction that the treaty-making
power, in its seeming absoluteness
and unconditional extent, is confront
ed with seemingly absolute and un
conditional authority invested in the
judiciary."
‘‘Make Treaties Public.”
Sisson pleaded for less secrecy in
the making of treaties. He declared
that treaties should be considered ir.
the open session of the Senate and
the vote of each Senator should be
j made a public record.
.* "What would become of the farmer
if the great corporations of the coun
try should enter the land market and
buy all of the best lands of the coun
try and then cultivate them with
Mongolian or other alien labor? The
great land corporation would driv«
the American farmer out of exist
ence.”
Special Cable to The American.
BERLIN, May 23.—Big and little
monarchs, royal dukes and fair lad
les are as common as pebbles upon
the streets of Berlin to-day. Every
once in a while royal equipage, with
an escort of the soldiery of some for
eign nation, rolls past in the street
and the natives pause to stare and
comment upon H. R. H. Somebody
or other or the Duke of something.
All are here to attend to-morrow the
wedding of Princess Victoria Luise,
only daughter of the Kaiser, and
Prince Ernst of Cumberland, son of
the Duke of Cumberland and Prince
of Great Britain.
It is nearly impossible to get ac
commodations at a first-class hotel
to-day because of the crowds that
have come to Berlin from all parts
of the Empire, from abroad and from
various parts of Europe. Even some
of the royal guests have been quar
tered at hotels because of the fact
that there was not room enough at
the Palace, where it had been planned
to quarter some of the more distin
guished visitors.
The celebration of the wedding
started several days Ago, with a most
elaborate evening of opera. A State
banquet was held Friday at which
all of the impressive appearing diplo
mats here as attendants upon the
parties of their royal masters were
present. To-morrow the actual
ceremony will he performed, and Vic
toria Luise Adelheld Methilde Char
lotte Hohenzollern, Princess of Prus
sia and Ernst August Chretien George
of Vrunswdek-Lunebourg. the House
of Guelph, descendant of George III
of Great Britain and great grandson
of Queen Victoria of England will
become one.
Who Groom in The
Royal Wedding Is
Following are some interesting
facts about the House of Cumber
land, into which the Princess Vic
toria Luise, will be married to
morrow.
The Prince of Cumberland Is
both German and English.
He is a greadgrandson of King
George III of Great Hritain His
grandfather was U brother of Queen
Victoria of England, they both hav
ing been children of George Ill
In the event of the failure of
succession of present heirs to the
throne of England. It probably
would be the present Duke of Cum
berland. or in the event of his
death, the Prince of Cumberland
who would succeed to the throne,
because of their descent from King
George.
The arms of the House of Cum
berland are almost similar to those
of the royal family of Great
Britain.
The Duke of Cumberland is a
Prince of Great Britain, a general
in the British army and a Colonel
ip the Austrian army.

English Ruler’s Berlin Speech
Taken to Show Three Great
Dynasties’ Friendship.
Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.
BERLIN. May 23.—“The preserva
tion of world peace is my fervent
desire, as it was the chief aim of my
father’s life," declared King George of
England, guest of the Kaiser, in re
plying to an address presented to him
by the British residents of Berlin.
This is the first political note
sounded during the wedding festivi
ties of the Kaiser’s only daughter,
for which three emperors and many
princes are gathered.
The King’s words seem, according
to the opinion expressed in influential
circles, to epitomize the chief signifi
cance of the royal visits as a demon
stration of the peaceful and friendly
relations existing among the three
powerful- dynasties.
