USE HERALD CLASSIFIED ADS GET RESULTS VOL. VIII. TEN PAGES Now and Then By The Editor THE WOMAN PAYS; HIDDEN HANDS. Mrs. Roy Gardner, wife of the notorious mail car bandit does not know where her husband secured the pistol which he used to hold up his guards at the time of his escape last week. She declares also that she will move from Napa, in order to be near the prison and to enable her to see her husband from time to time. She will of course take their child with her. People generally have admired the adventurous spirit of the bandit who has thrilled the people with his escapades. Calm thought, however, will lead to the conclusion that Gardner has been a most selfish semi-maniac. He has utterly disregarded the welfare of his good wife and innocent child, and many will fail to understand how the loyal wife can look forward to anything in life so long as she holds to him. He faces a fifty-year term in prison. He would be a man over 80 years old if his two 25-year terms were spent in jail. Where Gardner secured his pistol seems to still be a mystery and he refuses to throw any light on the matter. Apparently he secured it after he left the Sacramento jail. It may be that a confederate slipped it CRESPIN MRS.

A New York editor is beginning to criticize the President because the chief executive has not announced a definite or even a tentative plan to substitute something better than the league of nations. This editor declares that the President is leaving an opening for the pro-leaguers to capture Congress in 1922. Maybe so. Maybe not. President Harding has been in office less than four months and we believe he has been a very busy man in that time. We also believe he is doing right when he gives his attention first to internal affairs, getting a square deal for the ex-service men and putting business in general back to pre-war conditions. The President is doing right and he is doing what the people want him to do in the matter of international affairs. He is planning to call an international conference on disarmament. This, if it brings about desired hopes of this and other nations, will put the league of nations into the class of collection agencies, which in its last analysis, it is. President Harding is at the listening post. He is not attempting to run the government of this and other nations. He is harkening to the voice of the people who are clamoring for disarmament. With a world move to stand how the loyal wife can look forward to anything in life so long as she holds to him. He faces a fifty-year term in prison. He would be a man over 80 years old if his two 25-year terms were spent in jail. Where Gardner secured his pistol seems to still be a mystery and he refuses to throw any light on the matter. Apparently he secured it after he left the Sacramento jail. It may be that a confederate slipped it to him during his journey to the railroad station. Whether or not the pistol mystery is ever solved, society in general will be better off when Gardner is in prison. He has committed a number of robberies, and in preventing more robberies by this conceited bandit, it is safe to say that life will also be conserved for it is not a far call from highway robbery to murder. POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y., June 17. —A telegram was sent by Mrs. Stillman to Fred Beauvais the day Guy Stillman was morn, reading: "Black bear arrived." This testimony was introduced in the Stillman case today Mrs. Mary Olive Gilligan, a nurse who said she wrote the telegram on the request of Mrs. Stillman. Guy, who was born in New York on November 7, 1918, is alleged to be the son of Mrs. Stillman and Fred Beauvais, a French-Canadian guide. Mrs. Gilligan was the "surprise witness" introduced by Stillman's counsel today. When the witness took the stand in Referee Gleason's office, the office, the following exchange took place: Question—"What is you name?" Answer—"Mary Olive Gilligan." Q—"What is your occupation?" A—"Trained nurse." Q—"Where do you reside?" A—"Greenport, Long Island." Q—"Please tell what you know about the birth of the boy, Guy Stillman." A—"Well, I was Mrs. Stillman's nurse when she went to the Women's Hospital, shortly before Guy was born and then I was her nurse at 270 Park avenue for a time after she left the hospital." After a few more questions, Stillman's counsel asked: "How long did you continue as Mrs. Stillman's nurse?" RICHEST BRIDE HAS SIMPLE WEDDING Lolita Armour Declares Receives Many Gifts From Poor People EXTRAVAGANCE IS SIN WEDDING Lolita Armour Declares Receives Many Gifts From Poor People EXTRAVAGANCE IS SIN CHICAGO, June 17.—The home of the world's richest bride was banked today with simple little presents from poor cripples she had befriended. Miss Lolita Armour, daughter of J. Ogden Armour, multi-millionaire packer, is to be married tomorrow to John J. Mitchell, Jr. Miss Armour, herself once a cripple and miraculously saved by an operation, has devoted her life to rehabilitating others. Although she can afford the most luxurious wedding money could provide, the ceremony is to be very simple. Extravagance is a sin," she said. "I want my wedding to be a lucky one, therefore, I will not start out by wasting." Miss Armour's wedding gown is a simple little thing of white velvet and quite inexpensive. She is not going to wear any jewels at the ceremony. Her trousseau is made up mostly of "left overs." "Starting on an economical basis, a man and woman have a better chance," she said. "If I were to lavish a small fortune on my trousseau and gown, memory would bring only regrets to me later on. It would be only selfishness and I don't believe selfish people are ever happy—or lucky." After the wedding there will be a short honeymoon and then the couple will return to "keep house." An executive may make enemies by giving jobs to his friends, but he can't make friends by giving jobs to his enemies.

He entered the doors of his island prison home at 8 o'clock last night under the heaviest guard ever escorted a prisoner there. His stay may last for a period of 50 years unless he seeks to break his present record of escapes, which have kept officers up and down the coast on the jump. The nervy bandit who was twice convicted of robbing Uncle Sam's mail, and who twice escaped from the guard bringing him from California, told his captors that he is "through," and that all he wants from now on is a "square deal." But the guards at McNell's Island said today they are going to take no chances. Gardner is to be treated the same as other prisoners, but a closer watch will be placed on his movement while he is about the prison yard. "Gardner will have to take a big chance if he gets away from this prison," said one of the guards. "He's a bird that will bear watching. But we have got a high barbed wire fence and lots of watch towers and no man has yet beat a Springfield bullet if it was headed in his direction. He may get away, but the chances are..." BEING HASTY INGTON, June 17.—A plan association of nations has been set up to the request of President It was learned in a reliably quarter here today.

As in answer from adminis- headquarters today to the let- amilton Holt asking Presid- ing to specifically an- what he is doing toward the association of nations during the presidential election. The plan is reported to ig- fierely the Versailles treaty one of nations. Mont Harding, it is said, order- ing of a plan shortly after last November. A man in international law, who complete confidence of the president, was asked to undertake but his identity has not been known. The drafting was com- me weeks ago, it is said.

Ident is said to feel that it must wait until the auspicious lives than to risk an immedi- apt which might fall because arbitrary districtions abroad. "Gardner will have to take a big chance if he gets away from this prison," said one of the guards. "He's a bird that will bear watching. But we have got a high barbed wire fence and lots of watch towers and no man has yet beat a Springfield bullet if it was headed in his direction. He may get away, but the chances are he'll go in a coffin, if he tries to leave." The location of the mail sack which Gardner took from a train in California last month till is unknown. While the robber talked freely of his movements up to the time of his capture in Centralia he declined to tell where he had hidden the sack. The bandit never entirely lost his smile during his journey from the Centralia jail to the island prison. He grinned at the thousands curious Centralians who jammed the station platform there as the train pulled out. On the trip he was handcuffed on either side to railway special agents. With these officers were United States Marshal J. B. Holohan of San Francisco and two other special agents. When the officers tried to brush a camera man away at Centralia, Gardner exclaimed, "let him take it," and the request was granted. As the train pulled out, he waved his braceleted hands to one of the officers there. Arriving at Tacoma, Gardner and his guards immediately went to Stellacom, where a launch from the penitentiary was waiting for them. "Is that the place yonder?" Gardner inquired as he looked across the sound toward the gray outlines of the prison. When told it was, he smiled but said nothing more. Five minutes later he was in the launch surround- heim officers, at first they napped that he had anything to do with the matter. Mrs. Stailey later positively identified him as the man. Crespino will be held few days before he is formally due to trial, it was said this morning. The hope that he may confess to other similar crimes that officers believe he has committed. Crespino has a brother, Mike Crespino, who is serving a fifty year sentence in San Quentin for a similar offense committed in Anaheim several months ago.

As we understand it, Monrow's id was to preserve for Uncle Sam petroleum deposits in south and central America. ed by guards and headed for prison. Marshal Holohan declared that man who had baffled him once when he thought he had him safely on way to prison, never abandoned idea of escape this last time during the last leg of his journey Gardner was constantly on the al and once at Steilacom, asked the clers to remove his handcuffs. "Not until you are behind the back he was tild. Holohan said a marked char came over Gardner when he good-gye to his guards at the penitentiary. "His carefree and joyful air deserted him and he seemed at l to realize the seriousness of his citation," said the marshal.
