CAIRO. Ksypt, Jan. 23. Evldonco
today Is piling up that Groat Britain
Is gctthiB ready to grab Egypt.
The latest step In this direction is
n stern warning to the khcdlvo that
Kgypt must bo absolutely neutral In
tho war between Italy and Turkey,
despite the fact that the country Is
nominally In Turkish territory. Tho
warning was specific, Lord Kitchener,
tho British consul general. Informing
tho khcdlvo that England will not
tolerate any connlvaaco by the Egyp
tian authorities In tho smuggling of
arms, ammunition or supplies to tho
Turkish forces Irf 'Trtpolf,'"ie1t "alone
the transportation of troops across
the country.
Tho Egyptian Nationalists aro ma
king vigorous protests, but without
avail. They contend that Ekypt, as
a part of tho Turkish empire, not
withstanding the sovereignty of
England, has an unquestioned right
not only to assist Turkey by permit
ting tho transportation ot supplies,
but also by actually furnishing rein
forcoments. Despite tho enforced promise from
tho khcdlvo that Egyptlwlll remain
neutral, Kitchcuer Is taking no
chances. The result is that, although
professedly neutral herself, Great
Britain Is actually lending support
to Italy.
All along tho coat, from Solium to"
Alexandria, the coast guard has boon
reinforced hy soldiers nnd police to
prevent the smuggling of supplier
The western land frontier is being
patrolled by swift camel corps and
Bedouin trackers, and n detnehmont
of British mounted troops is watch
ing the African side of the Suor. canal
to prevent the landing of contraband
of war. So vigilant is the surveil
lance that a Turkish officer making
his way unaccompanied from lloirut
to Tripoli to join his cpmmnud there
wns nrrosted on Egyptian soil and
turned hack.
Commenting upon this incident, the
Cniro corrosondent of the London
Tiin.cs, whoso dispatches nro Usually
inspired, wires signiflenntly:
"It is essontial that tho Egyptian
government bhould tuko tho strictest
precautions to maintain neutrality,
sinco utiy infraction of it might ovon
tunlly cost Egypt dearly."
Hut Egypt is a largo country. Arms
and men luivo been slipping through,

them. Authentic information conios

MEDFORD SPLENDID HOST
EBOII BELLS
ARE KEPT BUSY
BYW.A.MARVIN
Now Wife Number Two Swears ts
Complaint Charging Him With Non
Support of Child May Bring
Charge of Bigamy Also.
WIFE NUMBER ONE GOT
DIVORCE, SISTER WED HIM
Later, Believing Second Marriage
Was Null and Void, He Mar
ried Wife Number Three.
A warrant wn issued hy Justice
of tho Peace (Horn O. Taylor Tues
day morning for the urnM of W. A.
Marvin, a. prominent mining man of
Gold Hill, for failure to contribute to
the support of his child. A complaint
ohnrging hignniy will prohahly fol
low. Complaint was mnde hy Lorctto
Marvin, a woman puqortiiig to he '
his wife.
Marvin's voyage on the matrimonial
sen hns been n stormy one, accord
ing to tho authorities who are work
ing rfn the case. It begun early in
1000 when he married Murcclli Mar
vin, his first wife. With her ho is
snid.tp l-cJu'eJJraimUysfQX. scleral
months. Her lister, Loretlo, lived
wiih thorn. Finnlly Mrs. Marvin, the
first, went east for n visit and left
Marvin n'nd her sister in their home.
On her return she states that she
found Loretto and Mnrvin living to
gether. She immediately applied for
a divorce, which wns granted on
March 10, 1910, nt Oregon City. On
March 22, 1910, Man-in married the
sistor Loretto nnd a. short lime nftcr
wnrd she gave birth to a child. A
few months later they separated.
Mnrvin then came to Gold Hill.
There ho mot Gwendolyn Stickler, u
beautiful young girl, and nftcr con
sulting a lawyer ut Portland, returned
to Gold Hill and married her. Mar
vin maintains that as he had fought
tho ease nt Oregon City that his
wedding with Loretto wns null and
void ns it occurred without the timo
specified hy law, of six months, hav
ing ehived. ,
In tho meantime Loretto came to
southern Oregon, and demanded that
Marvin support her child. Tho mat
ter wns then brought to tho atten
tion of the local authorities, but
owing to the health of Mrs. Marvin,
the third, tho mattor was allowed lo
lio dormant until this timo. Some
time ago a diild was born to Mnrwn
and his third wife.
A complaint was sworn to boforo
Jttstico of the Ponce Taylor Tuesday
morning charging non-support of tho
child. Mnrvin will ho nrresled and
prosecuted on this ohnrgo at onco. In
tho meantime the authorities will en
deavor to determine whether Marvin
is guilty of bigamy or not, which
rests on the muttor of his niarriugo
to Loretto a few days after halng
divorced from wifo number one.
Marvin has resided at Gold Hill
for some timo and hns been identi
fied with sovornl different milling
activities in that section.
