Springfield. Mass., August 14.?Mr.
and Mrs. John Edward Paul Geraghty. ]
who eloped from Newport last '.veuk,
nay make Sprlnglieid their perma?
nent home. Tholr original pluo wan
to return to Newport after tha initial
excitement had subsided, but second
thought is said to have convinced Mr.
Geraghty that Newport will not per- ]
ir.lt Itself to forget tne social gulf I
which separated Mr. Geraghty from
his bride, who Is a n'ece of Mrs.
French Vanderbllt. Mr Geraghty Is j
nc stranger In Sprlngflold. anil has j
friends in the automobile business <
here. It is said that he has been as?
sured of the necessary backing to u;ien I
a garage or sales agency here.
Mr. Geraghty admitted that he had
under advisement a proposition to set- j
tic in Springfield, that he liked the
city, and might declds to remain htre.
"Of course, it's all In the air as yet,"
he said.
"I do wish you would correct the j
statement that I am a chauffeur," he
added. "I am not one and n?ver have
been In my life. I have never been
employed in Mr. French's family, and
don't wish people to think that I could
sneak Into the family as chauffeur nnd
try to steal Julia away. I dj not
believe in that sort of work: it's not
on the square. I have always treato.l ;
people right and could not do such i
thing.
"I am m business for myself and j
have been for over three years. 1
have an automobile agency and am
also (n the automobile supply business
In Newport with another fellow. I
know all of the chauffeurs In New?
port, and have a fine trade, but am
more Interested in my own agency,
and I make enough money to take
care of my wife as she should he
taken care of. My father has been In
the livery business In Newport for a
great many years, but when automo?
biles became popular tht business
dwindled, and I went In for automo
biles." I
Not a Chauffeur.
Mr and Mrs. Geragh(ty attended
services In St. M'Chael'S Catnedral
yesterday. They were quickly recog?
nized. Geraghty Is a Roman Catholic,
and the fact that his wife attended
a church of his faith on the tlrst Sun?
day after their marriage gave rise to
the report that Mrs. Gcraehty. wno
is an Episcopalian, .had relinquished
her own faith and would adopt her
husband's religion. Mr. Geraghty
h'mself, however, said that the story
had no foundation.
"You can't net us Into a quarrel
over religion, so don't try," said Mr.
Geraghty, laughingly.
Mrs. Geraghty wore a suit of blue
silk, hat and veil of the same shade
of blue, white gloves and white shoes
completing the costume. Mr. Geraghty
wore a dark suit and a straw hat.

dogs at home," she said to-day. "'I
could only bring Map with me." Hoar
ing his name, a little Boston terrier
came running into the room. "He Is a
prize-winner," his mistress proceeded.]
"and I was going to show him again
In the Newport show Saturday, but,
i of course. 1 can't show any of my dogs
I now. I can cook and sew. I never
I cared for school. I was dumped out
j of two or three when I was a young
; ster, and have nad a governess. 1
; uon't like to study; its too mucli

I family. We don't care for society. It's

i longer, for my friends must be his.
j No. I have_ not heard from my family
j yet. 1 don't know when 1 will hear.
I but, of course, they are liable to come
j here any time."
I The reason why the Geraghtys did
I not attempt to marry In Newport is
i found in section 11 of the public laws
j of Rhode Island State, which runs in
: part:
"No minor or person under tho con
| trol of a parent or guardian shall be
, allowed to give and subscribe to the
! information provided for in, section 10
! of this chapter or shall receive the
license provided for therein unless the
consent of guardian, given In the pres?
ence of the town or city clerk, or any
clerk employed In the office of the
raid town or city clerk, shall have
been first obtained. Provided that
?uch Information may be given and
I subscribed by and such license may be
Issued to any person over eighteen
years of age residing in this State
who has no parent or guardian In this
Slate competent lo act, or to any per
?on over eighteen years of age who
Is not a resident of this State who
has no parent or guardian In tho
L'nlted States competent to act."
Bender, the chauffeur who drove the
couple from Newport Wednesday af?
ternoon, intended to make Putnam.
Conn., where tho marriage was to take
Place. However, the party got lost In
the woods between Arctic, Clayvlllo
and Scltuate, R. I When daylight
came they saw they were far away
from their destination and made fot
the nearest place they knew. Central
Village, and by a mere chance found
the Rev. L. E. Perry at home. He was
Implored to tie the knot, which he j
did. It was 6 o'clock In the morning
when the couple arrived at the hotel,
and at 6:10 thev were married and!
started away.
How Uuther Peel?.
Mr. Gcr?ghty's father says:
"Jack's compelled to come back here
for a short lime at leo^t to settle up
some business. I've heard from him,
and he'll be here probably In a day or
? so. Whether he'll bring his bride with
him I can't say. Jack's got a good wife
i and she's got a good husband."
He further declares he is tired of
hearing talk that his son and daugh?
ter-in-law would be separated by Mr.
and Mrs. Amos Tuck French.
"My son was an honor man In
school,' said Geraghty. "He has no
vice except a desire to work, and this
i ought not to be held against him by
rich Newporters, whose fathers work
1 ed pretty hard and whose grandfathers
hud humble beginnings."
! SENATE BILL PROHIBITS
PUBLICATION OF CRIMES
I Senator Works, of Cnllfornla, Intro
I diK'rs .Measure Which Applies to
District.
Washington, August 14,?Believlns
j that a halt should be called In the
I publication of details of horrible oc
I currences, Senator Works, of Callfor
I nlu, to-day introduced in the Senate a
i bill making it unlawful to publish de?
tails of crimes and nccldents In the
' District of Columbia.
I In an Interview, Senntoi Works said
I that he believed much harm Is done by
I all such publications In the dally news?
papers. His bill is aimed at yellow
tournallsm
"Not only does such publication In?
cite others to crime, and sometimes
to suicide," said Senntor Works, "but
It Is generally hurtful to the morals
and sensibilities of the people to read
I column after column of sensational
I stories-of crime and criminals. It Is
! Impct slble to pick up a newspaper to?
day without seeing story after story of
] death by violence, horrible accident
I and other such mntters I think It Is
I high time the matter should be given
I serious consideration."
Senator Works's bill permits the pub
I Mention of a mere statement of fact
that crimes have been committed.
The bill read as follows:
"It shall he unlawful for any per?
son, corporation or association to pub
| Hsh In any newspaper or other publl
j cation In the District of Columbia an
j account of any murder, or alleged
murder, or any other actual or alleged
crime, suicide or other accident, in?
jury or tragedy of any kind, wherever
the same may have beep committed
or happened, other than a mere state?
ment of the fact that such a crime,
tragedy or accident has happened,
without details, or comments of any
kind, with respect to such crime, ac?
cident or tragedy, or in respeot of
or about any person connected with
I or related to or alleged to be or to
have been connected with or related
I to the same.
"Any person, corporation or associa?
tion who shall violate any of the pro?
visions of this act shall be guilty of
a misdemeanor, .and shall be fined not
less than $500, nor more than $5,000,
to which may be added 'mprlsonmont

j interment. The charge is- being made
I by his people that on Saturday eve
? nlng he had collected .'TOO. and that
I this was taken from him when ho was
I killed, thereby raising the question of
I robbery as the motive. However. $38
j was found in his pockets, and tho
I police do not credit either the story
! of $700 collection, or the theory of
! robbery. Coroner Seaparks and his
; Jury havo taken a recess for a couple
of days to await developments, with
I tht cxpectat'on of coupling up another
I man with the killing sufficiently to
' prevent habeas corpus proceedings in

to the Superior Court. The Indlca

negro hackman, will be released soon,
j as there Is no evidence against him.

FALLS FROM BALLOON;
CRASHES INTO A HOTEL
Aviator Probably Will Die mn Result
of Fight With Treacherous
Currents.
Atlantic City, August It.?After a
perilous drop of 1,500 feet with a
double parachute, Charles Bennett, of
Newark, a lad of twenty, plunged
through the skylight of a hotel last I
night and fell to the tables below
while the guests were at dinner.
Ho was picked up senseless, with his
skull broken and his body limp with
cuts and bruises. He still lives, but
the doctors at the City Hospital havu
no hope ot saving Mm.
Before this tragio finish Bennett had
lalsed the fears of thousands of spec?
tators who watched Ulm In his exciting
manoeuvres in the air. It was a bail
day for such an exhibition, but the
crowd was out to see it, and the boy
', went up rather than disappoint.
Tho balloon, as It mounted from the
.Million-Dollar Pier, careened under tho
wayward gusts that were playing over?
head In all directions. Tho further It
ascended the worse tho winds Jjuftoted
It At ti'.e height of about one-third
of a mile Bennett disengaged himself.
From that instant he seemed in deadly
peril.
First Parachute Falls.
The first parachute would not open,
and ho shot plumb earthward. Spec?
tators turned away thlr heads, ex?
pecting a clear fall. When nearly all
were despairing, a shout signaled that
he had contrived to open the umbrella
und check his plunge. He had already
fallen several hundred feet.
Half way to earth he loosened the
second parachute. Like the other, H
refused to open. Tho crowd of on?
lookers was again thrilled, knowing
that a life was at stake on the boy's
ability to manage his flimsy and un?
ruly buoys.
The capricious air currents were
then tossing him at will, but over
with a swift motion downward. He
was within 500 feet of earth whsn tho
second parachute became really ser?
viceable to him.
Game Fight In Vain.
Just as the crowd had begun to
breathe easier tho air currents massed
themselves against him and hurled
him swiftly and hopelessly towards
the spires of the big hotels.
There were cries among the specta?
tors that he would be pitched down
upon their heads, and many tied to
cover.
As he swung around the towers ho
sprang away, moving his body like a
contortionist. The .vlnd hud the para?
chutes at its mercy, but the boy who
clung to them kept his head. When
at last there seemed a chance that
his nerve and skill might save him.
a fresh gust from above caught him
unprepared and threw him directly on
top of the Marlborough's glnsa roof.
Ho struck with a force that must
have benumbed him, for the blow
I could he heard 100 yards away His
! i.odv crashed through and fell nl
I meat lifeless among tho dinner guests.
