HARRISBURG, TUESDAY EVENING, MARCH 1, 1910. 12 PAGES ONE CENT argains In PBEO TO ELOPE, Elizabethville Bride Will Be gin Action to Have Marriage Annulled CHANGED HER MIND After Agreeing to Go With Lentz Eva Dubendorf Repented Special to the Telegraph.

Elizabethville, March 1. Alleging that Charles Lentz, aged 21 years, of this place, compelled Eva Dubendorf, a 16 year old girl, to elope with and marry him, John Dubendorf, a local blacksmith, will immediately begin proceedings to have the marriage annulled. The marrlaee of the vnnnsr cnunle occurred at "Wilmington. presumably yesterday, following an elopement Saturday night, from which the young bride, it is alleged, attempted in vain to cscane. Todav the youne couple are separated, the girl refusing to live with her husband.

She is with her parents and Lentz is with his parents. Charles Lentz paid marked atten tion to young Miss Dubendorf all last summer and the love affair was watched with interest by the townspeople. During the summer Lentz requested the girl's hand, but her father refused, saying she was too young. He, however, gave the young man to understand that if he would wait awhile It might be different. Planned to Elope The couple evidently got tired of waiting, for, according to the bride's own story, told this morning, she agreed to elope with Lentz on Satur day evening following the meeting of the catechetical class at the church.

All arrangements were made, Lentz obtaining a carriage and making preparations to drive to Millersburg, where they intended taking the train for Wilmington, Del. But Saturday evening Eva repented. Without telling all, she arranged for an older brother, aged about 18 years, to go to the church after the services and meet her. The brother was on hand and the two started home. Lentz had been waiting patiently and when he saw that the girl has repented he evidently, according to her story, de termined to carry out the elopement himself.

Going up to the brother and sister. it Is said, he grasped Eva by the arm and led her to the carriage, at the same time intimidating the brother. Then he drove rapidly to Millers burg and completed the program by compelling the girl to take the train with him for Wilmington. The couple pased through Harrisburg at 10,30 clock Saturday night and reached Wilmington early Sunday morning. Said She Was of Ago The bride said that Lentz told her tell the clerk at the marriage license bureau Monday morning that she was 8.

In this way, she said, a license was obtained and they were married. Directly aftr the marriage they re timed to Klizabethville. On the ar rival here the girl wanted to go to her parents' home, hut Lentz did not see that way. Mie says he compelled her to get off of the train on the side opposite the station, and was forcing her to go to his parents' home when the town constable interfered. The who was 16 last April, was sent her father, and this morning she ibsolutely refused to go to her hus band, claiming that he had used un llue influence in marrying her.

The bather will institute annulment pro ceedings. lCOCRT DECLINES TO GRAXT LICENSES jExpress Agent Claims 200 Gallons Per Day are Shipped; Hotels to Close Lewlstown, Mar. 1. No liquor li censes in Mifflin county for another p. ear.

TURNED OFF THE GAS Boys Who left Two Churches in Darkness Sunday Xlght Arrested.

West End constables are busy rounding up a gang of boys who on Sunday evening, while services were being held, entered the CurtinHeights Methodist Episcopal church and turned off the gas, then sneaked into the basement of the Augsburg Lutheran church and did the same, going from there to the Fifth Street Methodist Episcopal church, where, after pulling up the grates guarding the windows of the basement and exposing the people passing to the danger of falling into the holes, entered the cloak room, where they removed from the ovet coats and other wraps of the members of the choir the contents of the pockets. Victor Gibbons, a member of the Fifth Street choir, caught one of the miscreants and it is expected the balance of the gang will have been rounded up by tonight. They will be given a hearing before Alderman Lutz. Steel Plant Protected, but Comparatively Few Are at Work 'By Associated Press. South Bethlehem, Mar.

1. The number of men returning to the Bethlehem steel works this morning was only slightly in excess of the number on yesterday's day shift, desp'e the fact that notices were sent out yesterday afternoon to the non union men to return to work as protection was ssured. One of the superintendents at the plant is credited as saying today that 140 men were at work yesterday in No. 2 machine shop. Before the strike there were over 1,000 men at work the day shift in that shop.

Last night the same official was authority for the statement that only forty men came out. In one of the projectile shops only the foreman and helper were at work last night. There were sufficient men on hand yesterday to keep one blast furnace going. The greater part of the Saucon plant is still closed, owing partly it is stated, to repairs to the Grey mill. The delegations coming from points up the valley and down as far as Easton were small today compared to the number of men which came from those points before the plant was shut down on Friday.

The State Police were astir early this morning and patrolled the office building and gates at the works and at the New street bridge entrance, which is used by the Bethlehem workmen. There was no semblance of molestation, as the strikers since Sunday have been heeding the advice of the strike leaders and the clergy to the letter. The labor organizers in charge of the local situation are highly jubilant at the tied up condition of the Bethlehem steel plant and they bespeak an early adjustment of the grievances. Hot Council Meeting Not only the strikers but the citizens and business people here continue to resent Sheriff Person's request of the State authorities for the State Police and even the municipal authorities are divided in the matter. At a special meeting of town council, one of the most heated sessions held by that body in years, the councilmen opposed the State troopers, scathingly rebuked Sheriff Person and even Chief Burgess O.

L. Peysert and Chief of Police Hugh Kelly came in for a share of censure. Councilman J. P. McFadden asserted that there were 28,000 qualified voters in Northampton county and he was certain among them there would have been plenty of men who would have cheerfully acted as deputies, had the sheriff noti fied them before calling for the constabulary.

The question of how to get rid of the troopers was discussed. It was the opinion of the borough solicitor that by appealing to the attorney general at Harrisburg, he might be able to grant such' a request. No definite action was taken in the matter. The new Jersey Zinc company de mands the same protection of their plant as was accorded the Bethlehem Steel company by Sheriff Person. EXPRESS OFFICE IN THE WEST END Increase of Trains Stopping at Maclay Street Makes Better Facilities The Adams Express company will open an office at the Maclay street station of the Pennsylvania railroad.

Traffic has steadily increased at Maclay street since a year ago when the Pennsylvania increased the number of trains stopping at that point. West End people who have been complaining of delayed shipments will be benefited by the change, the express people say. Arrested for Trespassing The Police department arrested George Applegate on the charge of trespassing on Pennsylvania railroad property. The arrest was made for Alderman Hoverter, before whom the case will be heard tomorrow.

BETHLEHEM IT; STRIKERS JUBILANT Almost GARBAGE STIRS IIP MUCH ELOQUENCE Mayor Tells Councilmen to Keep Hands Off Contract Enforcement BUDGET APPROVED Passed on to Councils After Some Debate and Lively Discussion The finance committee of councils last night agreed to the city appro priation ordinance for the fiscal year 1910, beginning on April 4, without dotting an i or crossing a but with much denunciation of the manner in which the garbage contract is being enforced and considerable criticism of the failure of the Park commission to itemize its appropriation as is done by every other department. So warm did the discussion wax that members spoke half a dozen times and finally Mayor E. S. Meals, who was sitting in the rear of the chamber, felt impelled to take a hand in it, which he did to the amazement of some councilmen, who were told to keep their hands off the affairs of the Board of Health. The mayor, however, caused more astonishment when he asserted that his ears had not been assailed by any clamor against the manner of collecting garbage and led Mr.

Osier to ejaculate: "Our mayor is deaf." Altogether the session was a very Interesting one. It did not exactly have any vaudeville features, but there were some incidents which were amusing, and although Mr. Wild man did not make any motions looking to advancement of the mill rate, Mr: Hickok did entertain the committee with a touching discourse upon trees. Mr. Osier also took part, but it was a solo.

He moved to insert a provision for a $5,000 fire engine for the Shamrock company, but no one seconded it and the wheels of the committee moved on. Will Get Under Nine Mills The ordinance as reported will permit a nine mill rate to be enacted for the coming year. Messrs. Bacon and Hickok, 'who were active in framing the bill, said after the session that they were sure things would go all right and that the postponement of the payment of $24,000 of damages because of the viaduct construction and substitution therefor the fixed charge items for the $91,000 bond issue would allow improvements to go on and not force any increase of the rate. The ordinance contained few surprises.

The most striking advances were in the Fire department, where companies each got $100 more, and in the Highway department, where provision had to be made for care of streets and for Thirteenth ward work. The mayor got three new cops and a few other tl.ings. Bill by Departments Total carried, $467,699.94. Total yast year, $428,379.99. Dept.

Philadelphia, Mar. 1. While strong influences are being brought to bear upon the Philadelphia Rapid Transit company to bring an end to the labor struggle, the corporation has done nothing in this direction except to keep increasing its force of employes and to put on more cars. Early indi cations were that business men would be able to bring both sides together, out so far these efforts have failed. There was a meeting of directors ana omciais or the transit company today at which many proposals put to tne company privately were considered, but after adjournment it was announced the company not changed its position.

George II. Earle, one of city's three representatives on board of directors, stated that company can put Its service in operation after the disturbances the the the full are over. i More cars are running today than at any time since the strike began and they are being more liberally patronized. There was no disorder. Strikers" Meet The strikers held their usual meetings in different parts of the city.

The leaders still maintain they will win, if not by their own force" then with the help of all organized labor which is under call to quit Saturday. Both the labor leaders and the city administration are preparing their lines for the expected demonstration. Director of Public Safety Clay in an interview today said he did not regard the proposed sympathetic strike as a "bluff" and told of plans for increasing the police force in anti cipation of furtherj trouble. He said he was preparedto "draft" special policemen under the act of May 31, 1850, making all able bodied citizens liable to police duty. The labor unions having decided on a general strike unless the city takes some step to force the company to arbitrate, the sessions of Select and Common councils on Thursday afternoon are looked forward to with interest.

It is considered almost certain that some members will bring fqrrth an arbitration resolution, but whether the political organization in control will agree to take action cannot be predicted. State Senator James P. Mc Nichol, the Republican leader of Philadelphia; William S. Vare, who stands next to him in leadership, are in Florida, having left here with a party of friends before the strike began. It is believed that Senator Mc Nichol could end the strike if he deemed it his duty to interfere.

The several locals of the Brotherhood of Painters and Decorators endorsed the general strike order and all painters connected with the organization are instructed to stop work Saturday morning unless the strike is settled by arbitration. Another death, due to the strike, occurred late last night, when Benja min Gibson, a negro, died in the Douglas hospital. This brings the num ber of dead as a result of the strike up to six. All the State Police have been with drawn from this city, the two troops remaining having left today for their home barracks.
