MRS- NORMAN GALT, FIANCEE of' President .WILSON.
- ' 1915 BY ARNOLP OtNTHE
Taking Washington by surprise was
the announcement by Secretary Tu
multy of the engagement of President
Wilson to Mi's. Norman Gait of Wash
ington, but by a number of Intimate
friends It has long been expected.
Miss Margaret Wilson and her cousin,
Miss Hones, drew Mrs. Gait Into the
White House clrsle. They met her
first In the early autumn of last year
and were so much attracted by her
that they sought her out more and
more frequently, and the friendship
between they rapidly ripened Into an
affectionate Intimacy. Mrs. Gait spent
month this summer at Cornish as
the house guest of the president's eld
est daughter. It was through this Inti
macy of his daughter and cousin that
the president hl an .opportunity to
met and know Mrs. Gait. One of the
most Interesting facta about the en
gagement. Indeed, as told by friends,
Is that the president's daughters
should have chosen Mrs. Gait as the
object of their admiration and friend
ship before their father did. Mrs. Gait
is the widow of a well known business
man of Washington, who died eight
years ago, leaving a Jewelry business
that still bears his name. She has lived
In Washington since her marriage in
1896. She is about 38 years old and
was MiBS Edith Rollng. She was' born
in Wythevllle, Vs., where her girlhood
was spent and where her father, the
late William H. Rolling, was a promi
nent lawyer. In the circle of peop'e
who have known Mrs. Gait for many
years she has been regarded as a wom
an of unusual beauty, gifted with a
natural charm. Friend speak of her
as being constantly sought out as' a
delightful companion, remarklug espe
cially on ber thoughtfulness and ca
pacity for accomplishing anything she
chose to undertake.
army, J26.000.000. (This amount proi
ably will be a continuing and if any
thing increasing appropriation through
the first six in period, which would
make the total expenditure at that
time. $156,000,000.)
The grand total expenditure thus
actually planned would be $$42,000,000.
According to plans laid out by ex
perts of the navy and war departments,
these expenditures would produce by
1925 a first line of dreadnoughts and
battle cruisers numbering 43; a fleet of
coast defense submarines that would
fringe the Atlantic ond Pacific coasts
with an almost solid line or defense
against attack; a fleet of nearly 17'
destroyers and squadrons of huge sea
going submarines to operate with the
battle squadrons at great distance from
shore.
For the army there would be at th
end of six years a trained force of
1,200,000 men, including a regular
army of 140,000 and the proposed con
tinental army and reserves; a ring of
fully-manned coast defenses, equipped
with the lurgest and most powerfu'
guns yet built and a vast reserve of
field guns, machine guns, howitzers
and big gun ammunition.
In addition, the enormously In
creased capacity of private munition
plants would give assurances of ample
supplies of smaU arms and field gun
ammunition.
NEW YORK. Oct IS. With tho In
dictment today of Max Lynar, also
known aa Count Max Lynar Loudon,
on a charge of bigamy, United Bute
secret service agents began an Investi
gation of the recent alleged activities
of a man who, under the name of Ly
nar. la said to bave done confidently',
work In thlf country last June and
July on behalf of the German and Aus
trian governments.
Their Investigations embraced a re
port that deUiled plana and sketchefc
of certain fortifications around New
York harbor bad been aent to Berlin
by two secret messenger aboard
J steamship wblcb sailed from this port
for Rotterdam In July.
Thla steamship waa aearched at Fal
mouth. England, it waa reported, for
the messengers, whose presence
aboard had been cabled to the British
admiralty, but they were not found. . .
The ship then proceeded to Rotter
dam, It waa said, where she waa
searched again by the British consul
there. The messengers were reported
to have eluded the British consul, land
ed in Rotterdam with the plans of tlw
forts In their possession and proceed
ed thence to the German capital.
The Investigation Is being conducted
with a view of determining Just what
plans were carried to Berlin by the
passengers and through what agencies
they were obtained.
Max Lynar Loudon's application for
an' American passport "waa n,i.Ie. It
was said, after the departure of thla
vessel from New York. The man
known as Lynar remanled In New York:
after the alleged messengers sailed
secretly from this port.
The seret service agents who have
been Investigating Loudon's past life
have talked with Norbert Fuller., at
one tlme Loudon's chauffeur. Fuller
was dressed in livery so like the uni
form of the National Guard that he
was arrested last July at the instance
of a National Guardsman. It Is said
that Fuller set at rest a report that a
chauffeur dressed as a United States
soldier had obtained admission to forts
about New York harbor and had made
secret plans of them.
When Fuller was arrested his em
ployer wrote a letter to the district
attorney protesting against the arrest.
This letter, found today In the district
attorney's files, was signed Rocher M.
Zu Lynar.

This figure includes $30,502.75, taxes,

reducing the amount of real delinquent

await the explosion after lighting the
fuse, Marion St. Clair, for the last
year and a half a resident of Latour

the Southern Pacific, committed sui

Coroner Hempstead Investigated the
case but determined that an inquest
was not necessary. St George lived
on the E. A. Klar farm.
St. George bad been a cook by trade
but during the last 18 months had
worked for a number of farmers in the
Latourette district. He has a brother
surviving him, but his address is not
known. The body was taken to the
George Limber undertaking parlors at
Canby where it will be held until an
attempt is made to locate relatives.
St. George is said to have been mar

The following note was found on a
table near the bed in which St. George
died:
"It Is all over with me know. God

have coming out of the spuds in the
cellar. Charley Norris keep the stump
puller that will pay more than I owe
you. God bless all. I am gone where
no one can bring me back.
The reason for St. George's act is
not deflnlte'y known. Several persona
are said to have overheard him remark
Monday afternoon that be was going
to kill himself.
