ILLINOIS PRIMARY
former President Has Big Lead
Over Taft and Clark
Leads Over Wilson.
Chicago, April 10. Incomplete re
turns from Illinois primary election
precincts indicate that Theodore
Roosevelt led President Taft about
two and a half to one in the prefer
ential presidential primary and that
Champ Clark's vote in the same pri
mary was approximated twice that
for Gov. Wilson, of New Jersey.
Colonel Chaurcey Dewey, head of
the state Roosevelt organization,
gave out a statement, declaring the
former president had carried Illinois
by 150.0C0, and that while the aver
age proportion of his vote to that of
President Taft was 2 1 to 1, in placed
it had been as high as 5 to 1.
Senator La Follette polled a small
vote.
State candidates known to be
friendly to Senator Lorimer are in
dicated by early returns to have lost
in several contests. Chief of these
was Len Small, who for governor
appears to have been defeated by
Governor Dmeen.

Brides To Quit.
The Continental and Commercial
Bank, one of the largest financial
institutions in Chicago, has passed a
rule regarding the resignation of all
women employes when they marry.
According to Vice-President W. G.
Schroeder, the bank, which employs
100 women clerks, bars married wo
men for these reasons:
Business and matrimon. do not go
together.
a bank is a business institution,
not a school for matrimony.
Love affairs in banks should be
thoroughly and timely discouraged
Married women should be at home
not at a typewriter or adding ma
chine, and should not arrogate the
rights of single women who have to
earn their own living.
Refugees Married.
Hickman, Ky April 10. Despite
their being refugees from the floods
and homeless, Miss Paralee Kelly

who are being cared for here from
Dorena, Mo., vicinity across the
river from Hickman, were married
here yesterday. This is the second
marriage that has occurred among
the refugee here. t

OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON
(OopnUbt,UUl tr .Auodatod Literary Tret.)
Senator Ehas Lansing wanted to
get married again. So did Mn.'

had not dreamed of marrying until
he saw Mrs. Marsh, and Ma 1

They had met at a reception at
the Italian legation one afternoon,
and as soon as the senator had made

Mrs. Jlarsh and Isabel met tho
senator often at teas, dinners, the-
aters and balls. Washington began'
to look wise and nod its head when
the senator took to dropping into
Mrs. Marsh's box after the first ac ,
or walking Home irom cnurcn with
the widow and her daughter. And
Mrs. Marsh was always wearing vio
lets these days huge bunches
with the usual orchid.
The man was in love with the
widow. But the trouble was this:
He was poor poor, as senators go.
Having no one to support hut him-
self, ho was able to afford the show
the world demands of a senator.
He had an apartment that was all
that an apartment should be. And i
his clothes, his servants and his car
came up to the public demand. Un
til now he had resisted marriage
able daughters, debutantes and
widows.
On the other hand, Mrs. Marsh,
after ten years' absence, had come 1
back to Washington, taken a small
house with a huge rent, and she and ,
her daughter wore gowns which
were the envy of every woman in
mi; bajjiiui. J.L vyuo uuu uic gaiuuu-
