VISIT STATE DEPARTMENT Bride's Sister Wants Cable Ci pher Sent to Paris. GIRL WARNED OF FIANCE Alleged Nobleman Said to Be Aus trian and Well-Known Gotham Doctor Aged 6 0, Woman 2 0 Years Younger. WASHINGTON. June 3. (Special.)-The State Department has been asked by a prominent Washington clergyman and a woman well known in social circles in New York, Washington and London, to prevent, if possible, an impending inter national marriage between a relative of the woman, possibly her sister, and an alleged nobleman, said to be an Italian, the ceremony having been arranged to take place, it is said, in Paris this week. The clergyman is Rev. John B. Quinn, assistant to Rev. J. Henning Nelms, rec tor of the Church of the Ascension, and his companion Miss Frances A. Garwood, of New York and Washington. Their visit to the State Department was to get the Department to send a cipher message to the relative of Miss Garwood, who, it is said, is now In Paris, arranging for her marriage to the nobleman in the case. They wished to use the State De partment secret code so that the mes sage would be strictly private. It was sent to the American Embassy in Paris for delivery and the Embassy will be careful, it is said, that the nobleman docs not see It. It is stated that the message warned the young woman that the person she waer about to" "contract a marimonlal al liance with was not even an Italian, citi xen and never had been. Instead, she was told, he was an Austrian by birth and had resided in New York for 20 or 25 years. Further information concern lng the- man was that he was a physician and sungeon of wide reputation in New York and the head of a hospital; that he was married and had a wife and son who are said to be living in New York. It is believed that the mistake about his being an Italian subject arose from the fact that the man frequented the Italian sections of New York. The alleged noble man's age is given as about 60 years, while Miss Garwood's is reported to be at least 20 years younger. It is said Miss Garwood and Rev. J. B. Quinn also applied to the police in an endeavor to frustrate the international wedding, mentioning a. hypothetical case to draw out the opinion of the peace guardians as to the legality of an at tempt to prevent the wedding. ................... .......

Dr. Jor dan was as surprised as was the audience and was much embarrassed. After the Frenchman had left the building he made a movement as If to retire. Then he said: "If there are no more Interruptions, I will continue." There was silence, and the professor concluded his address.
