WAsHNGTON PAGE 1 THE WASHINGTON TIMES I
AND BRIDE
FLEE PAPA
C. W. U. Pedagogue and Wife
Leave Texas In Baggage Car
As Parent Searches Depot.
Chivalry is revived and D'Artagnan
of Gascony is reincarnated in Prof.
G. M. Patison, popular instructor in
Spanish at George Washington Uni
versity, who has just returned to his
classes and recounted his speedy
elopement with a fair daughter of
Used Words Instead of Steel.
Brandishing a six-shooter of Spanish
love lingo, instead of the broadsword
of Damascus steel which the Romeos
of former days flourished, Prof. Pati
son invaded not only the campus of
the University of Texas. but Is also
believed to be the first man to enter
the closely-guarded precincts of the
Catholic dormitory of the institution,
where the fair Juliet was virtually
-imprisoned by her parents in their
attempt to thwart the plans of the
d"termined swain.
Racing into Texas in the face of
an ultimatum from his unwilling
father-in-law, which made the match
appear impossible, and standing be
fore a minister ten minutes after
approaching his fiancee on her way
to class, and but four months after the
vacation romance started, Prof. Pati
son is believed to have set a record
for speedy and thrilling affairs
d'amour, especially in the ranks of
pedagogues.
"Ten minutes after I received a
letter from Mr. Stearns in which he
positively forbade my marriage with
his daughter, I wired the message
'Tm coming. Be prepared.' and left
Washington." recounted the instruc
tor.
"Meeting my fiancee on her way to
class, we and a party of friends
rushed to the courthouse, and five
minutes after its doors opened *e
had a license. Five minutes later
we were married.
They Got the Trunk, by Heck.
"With the conclusion of the cere- I
mony, difficulties appeared, for the
sisters at the Catholic dormitory
which had housed my bride refused
to surrender her trunk to the truck
men and sent word to her parents I
thirty miles away of our attempt to
flee."
Arriving at the depot shortly before
train time, but finding the trunk had
not yet been secured, Patison and the
party went to the dormitory and, in
the face of threats and protests of the
sisters, forcibly carried out the bride's
trunk.
Scarcely more than started on their
way to the station they were passed
by the irate parent, so intent upon
reaching the depot that he did not ob
serve the passengers or the truck.
They Started as Baggage.
With the infuriated Texan patroling
the station platform and the realiza
tion that he was no poor shot, the
couple evaded the meeting by enlist
ing the aid of a porter, who smuggled
them into a baggage car from the op
posite side of the tracks, in which
they started their homeward journey
but three hours after being reunited
on the campus of the University of
Texas.
Prof. Patison was himself a student
at the University of Texas for a brief
period before the war, but did not
meet his bride until he returned to
his Texan home during the last vaca
tion.
Miss Frances Stearns. the bride, will
continue her studies at George Wash
ington University, possibly under the
tutelage of her husband. She will ma
triculate in the junior class of Colum
bian College, Prof. Patison said.

"That the rivilize'l nations of the

tive ticket. Arthur C. Keefer. Repub
lican. ChUlum district, being returned
elective over Neuman 0. Dudrow.
Republican, of Hyattsville. for the
house of delegates. The official count
showed that Keefer had sixty-nine
more votes than Dudrow.
The Offleial CAt.
The official count follows:

Republican. 4.496; Lang, Labor, 211;
Taylbr, Socialist. 107.

been appointed by the judges of the
Seventh judicial circuit to serve out
three years of the unexpired Lerm of
the late Richard A. Ryan. William
P. Magruder, of Hyattsville, leads
the legislative ticket.
Several Surprises.
One of the striking features of the
elections was the vote received by
John H. Wilson. Independent candi.
date for sheriff, who polled 837 votes.
Wilson being a Republican, it was
thought it would injure the chances
of Sweeney, the nominee of the
organization wing of the Republican
party. As a matter of fact, the re
turns show that Wilson received as
many Democratic as he did Republi
can votes.
' The defeat of State Senator Oliver
S. Metzerott in his home county cane
as a surprise. The senator was
particularly active against the anti
organization forces in the recent
primary contest in the Republican
party, and he failed to receive the
full vote of his p-Arty Tuesday. The
other Republican candidates also
were cut right and left by the anti
organization folks.
It is also significant that four of
the Republican candidates who were
supposed to be favorable to the Bowie
racetrack went down to defeat, and
it is thought that the women -if the
county played no little part in this
accomplishment.
