WHY PLA 'BB AKK NOT C*I_? >SI-:i>.
Secretary Tully. wh--n seen by a Tribune re?
porter ln hls oflice yesterday, sald: "We are now
dfvotlng our tlme tO Mr. Weller I cannot aee
where the Excise Hoard has anythtng to do wlth

ar.d the "owld sod," and the chilllness of the night,
coupled with the fact that he had not taken a glass
of lig,uor for two weeka, formed a comblnation of
clrcumataaoee which made lt aomewbat easy for
Mr Halloran tu stop at a roadhous.- ln Clarkaon-at.

ov.-r imaglnary rlcbee that banished Ureams of

along in the course of a few mlnutea, and Halloran
was ordered off the track by tbe motorman and con

AN ATTEMPT TO PREVENT M18I BTHBL ?__?
AND ARTHUH WARB FK..M BKIKQ TO
QETHBR BND?D IM AR Et-JPEMBMT.
It became known yeaterday that Wlndaor Ter
race has Just been the acene Of an Interestlng
elopment. The parties to the s.-.r.-tly mado bar
galn wero Miss Btbel Mltaa, a daughter of Dock
[napeetor Mltaa, and Arthur Ware. a young man
who recently came to Ilrooklyn from Cinclnnati.
Mlss Mllea la twenty-one years old. and ls aald to
ba a P'pular attenh.nt at a Methodist church In
Wlndaor Terraee. Ware la twenty-flve yeara old
end poaaeaaed of eonetderable abiltty.
Bereral months ago Charles Mll.-s, a brother of
the Inapector, became acquainted wlth young
Waro. anl one .l.y asked hlm to dlno wlth hlm
at his brother'a houae. Wara accepted the invi
t-.tiun. and Bucceeded wlthout trouble ln wtnnlng
the regard of the memberfl of (ha famlly ta such a
degree that he was invlted to make hls home
thera Mr. Mllea refuaed tj conalder hlm as a
boarder, because taklng boarders was not Just the
klnd Of huslness that he car.-d to undeitake. The
young man naturaUy met M.ss MHefl frequently.
and ln Ihe course of a short tlme a muttial ad
miration aoclety was formed by tha two young
people. Tr.e watchful parents of Miss Ethel wera
liot slow to discover the state of affalrs, and lti
formed thelr daughter that love-maklng was pr.>
hlbltol in thla case.
Cupld's Influence, however, proved the atronccr.
and when klndly cautlona had failod to produoa
tho deelred reeult upon Ware, the young w-st
erner waa lnformed that hls prestmce- ut the table
was tho rauso of unpleasant overcrowdlng. Thla
good. broad hlnt had Its effect, and a certaln
landlady who dld n>t llve many miles away short
ly afterward had a new boarder. Communloatluns
between the lovera were established, ar.d a Iry-t
ing-place was app ilntad al Bllaabeth and Beely
so rumor says. Several surreptitloua mectlnKs ra>
?ulted ln the adoption of a moat decJalve Ilna i f
warfare agalnat tba parental dlafavor dlsplayed
ln the Mllea famlly. , ..
Sunday nlghl w..s ael by tbe young people aa tne
tlme for actlon. M.ss Miles left h.r home al the
u-ual hour and klaaed the membera of her ramliy
Kuu.lt,v. and told them that ahe was going |
church Perhapa sh? went to church, but al
not atay long. f'.r wlthln an .our thls meaaage was
?ent to the Mllea manslun ln the baadwrltlng o:
tbe Indepen lent y 'ung glrl:
"Arthur and 1 ate marrl-.l nnd are .n route to
Clnclnnatl."
Nothing nvre his beea heard of tne young !? -
plo Mr Mllea is al a toaa to know Juet what actlon
to take ln the caae, Bul as the young peopla ara
married, it Is not probable that h>- aill ac ?:'.
pll.h much. Ilu says thnt hls aon-ln-WW I. atl
eatlmable young man, but only geta |U a we.
and there la the rub. Flfteen dollare B week, aya
Mr Mllea, may be enough to aupport an exem
plary young bacbelor, but it will not aupport his
daugbtei aa bo has always aupported her.
