WITH DAD DEAO KATE MAT MARRY Reported That Passing of Senator Elklns Will Result In Early Mar riage of Daughter to Italian Nobleman. KOMB, Jan. il. Thai the death of United States Senntor Llkins will result in a speedy muriinge netweeu Miss Katherinc Klkins, hi-, daughter, and the Duke of the Abr'uvzi, is r. opinion expressed in latlinn uewpn pers today. The papers assert that the real opposition to the marriag? came from Senator Klkins. WASHINGTON. I). C, Jan. 0 patches from Koine, reviving the prediction of a marriage between the Duke D'Abruzzi and ICntherino El kins, are generally credited here. It is believed that the senator's objec tion to n morganatic marriage was the real barrier to the culmination of the romance. As the duke wiih remotely an heir to the throne, it i.J reported the king of Italy informed Senator .Elkins that only a nlorgan atic marriage with lira American heiress was possible. The duke him self, it is generally believed, argued with Hildas, pointing out that the I possibility of his cluvntio. to the throne was extremely remote. "Never," the senator replied, ac cording to a story ;told by one of his intimates today. "The man mann ing my daughter must marry her without any reservation. 1 will not listen to such a proposition." Mrs. Klkins, it is believed, favors the match. The senator's friends today deny the story which was circulated in Home, that lie demanded tho eleva tion of his daughter to royal rani:. HE WOULD AS ORDER MEAL LOS ANGELES, Cal., Jan. C.
