(Copyright. 19T1I, by Prcwi Publishing Co.)
PARIS. April 20. (New York World
Csblegram, Special Telogram.) It Is re
ported In the American colony that William
K. Vanderbllt, sr.wfll marry within a few
days Mrs. Lewis Morris" Rutherford, ' Jr.,
daughter of Oliver Hartiaaa; ar., of New
York City.- The, wedding. It la. said, will
be quiet. There Is some doub as to where
It will be celebrated, but It is believed that
London haa been chosen.
Mr. Vanderbllt's lptentlons with j-espect
to Mrs. Rutherford, who Is considered the
beauty of the' American contingent In Paris
have been an open secret for a long time.
The American multi-millionaire's devotion
to his charming countrywoman was so
marked, as to . attract general attention, and
waa' freely ' declared , that the widow of
Lewi Rutherford was deeply In love with
Mr. Vanderbllt.
Mrs. Rutherford s husband .died a year
ago of consumption. For a lime the widow
lived In a tiny cottage, set In a little court
yard, In the Avenue . Bois De Boulogne.
She recently removed to her handsome
home In the arrondlsscment of Passy, la
which fashionable part of the city the De
Castellanes have their mansion, and where
there are many other splendid homes. Mr.
Vanderbllt claims a legal residence In
Polssy, which Is fourteen mile's out of
Paris and where he and Mrs. Rutherford
could declare their intontlons as the law
require.
The necessary legal action might also
be taken In Passy,. but since nothing of
the kind has been done at either It I be
lieved that Mr. Vanderbllt and Mrs. Ruth
erford will avoid the red tape and circum
locution of the marriage requirements
agalnat foreigners in Franc and seek the
less exacting . regulations of England.
An American marrying In France must,
among other things, present a fully at
tested certificate of birth and not being
able to provide this must make oath to
the facts of the customary residence and
conform to certain other declarations to be
made at th nearest American consulate or
embassy.
There Is not yet on file with the am
bassador or consul here any of the neces
sary legal papers, which lends additional
color to the statement that the marriage
will Uka place In London. It is not im
probable, however, that the event may be
celebrated at Mrs. Rutherford's house In
Passy, or at Polssy.
In reply to a note sent to Mr. .Vander
bllt at his residence at 138 Champs Elysees,
asking if It wer true he waa to be married
on Wednesday or on any other date, the
following was received tonight by th
World correspondent:
Report that I am to be married on Wed
nesday Is untrue.
(Signed.) W. K. VANDERB1LT.
This equivocal note was In the hand
writing of Mr. Vanderbllt and waa dis
patched immediately upon Mr. Vander
bllt's return- from St. -Cloud, where he
spent the day at a rac meet and where on
of his horses won.
NEW YORK. April 20. it is reported
here, says the Psris .correspondent of th
American, that, William K. Vanderbllt is to.
be married here quietly on Wednesday to
a young American widow, to whom he has
recently been paying attention..
The name of- th bride-to-be, who Is at
present living In Parla, is kept secret.. She
Is reported to have visited New York a year
ago, where she was entertained by her sis
ter, an unmarried woman, who Is in 'the
secret of the approaching marriage, to the
exclusion of Mr. Vanderbllt's relative In
New York.
Justice Getgerlch in the supreme court
today signed an order permitting William
K. Vanderbllt to marry again. The order
modifies the decree obtained by Mrs. Alva
E. Vanderbllt In 1895 by which Mr. Van
derbllt was forbidden to marry within th
life of his divorced wife. The application
stated that. Mr. Vanderbllt Is "now In
France and Is desirous of forthwith, con
tracting another marriage.

HOME INDUSTRY PROTECTION
Result of Wyoming's New Law Pro
hibiting Exportation of la

Th last Wyoming legislature passed a
law prohibiting th exportation of any elk
antler unless they ar mounted. This
act has been called to th attention of
Omaha railroad mea who seat to their
representative In Wyoming for a few "un
mounted" antler as specimens. They did
not receive them, bat instead wer' sdvlsed
of th enactment of the new statute.
Th purpose of the law 1 a mystery to
these whose plans hav been disrupted by
It, but there Is a grave suspicion that it
will whether designed with that end in
view or not work to th advantage of
Wyoming taxidermists. In a letter sent In
reply to a demand from an Omaha railroad
man for a few unmounted antlers appears
this casual statement!
You can get the antler mounted by
good taxidermist here for about Sis.
He had already explained that on re

BUFFALO, April 20. Th New York de

venlng. He went at onoe to Trenton av.
nue. Mrs. Ludla Lucia Medonla Identified
a picture of th man found In the barrel
as that of her husband, Benedetto Me
donla. Mrs. Medonla said:
My husband went to New York about
the first of the month. I heard from him
twice since he went and wrote to him in
care f Salvatore Macoloso.
The resson my husband went to New
York was that my brother was in trouble
there and sent to Sfitig Sing piiunn for four
year. My husband said ne thought that
If he went to New York he could hav my
brother sent to a prison near Buffalo. He
did not tell me why he thought he could
do It, but he said somethlne about some
men down there who would i able to help
him. He belonged to some secret society
there; no, I don't know the name of the
society. He never told me much about It.
Before I came over from Italy my husband
told me about belonging to a secret society
In New York. He told me about It in a
letter, but that waa ail he said.
Some time ago my brother, Joseph de
Prlmo got Into trouble In New York. I
don't know what the trouble was, but my
husband said he would help him out Then
my brother sent to us for money to psy his
lawyer. My husband sent the money.
I don't know Just how much it wss, but It
was over $100. My brother had to send this
money to Salvator Macoloso. After we
sent the money we got a letter from my
brother saying the money had been re
ceived by Macoloso and that it had been
given to Mornillo.
Afterwards, when my brother waa sen
tenced to prison, my husband said he would
go to New York and have him sent to
prison in Buffalo, or near here. He said
he would see Morrelllo. When my husband
got to New York he wrote to me that he
had seen Morrelllo and that Morrelllo
would not do anything to have my brother
sent to a prison near here. He said Mor
relllo -was against him.
No, 1 don't know anything about this
Morrelllo. My husband never told me much
about him, but I guessed that he belonged
to the secret society to which my husband
belonged.
Before we came to this country our home
wss In Larcara Fredo, near Palermo, Italy.
Before we came here my husband did not
tell me much about his affairs and he did
not after we got here. He did write to
me that Morrelllo was ngnlnst him. He
wrote It In a letter the children tore up.
On of the family will go to New York
tomorrow to Identify the body.

r ' -Tesr. "
What Is Omaha's standing as a theatrical
city? That was the question under dis
cussion yesterday at lunch. There were
present a banker, an editor, a broker and
a theatrical manager. Th last was Paul
Wllstach, business manager for Richard
Mansfield, and th question was put to
him.
"On can only snswer that from Intlmat
experience," said Mr. Wllstach, "and based
on Mr. Mansfield'a warm welcomes In
Omaha, your city's standing Is first-else.
It Is , with tis. . Heretofore, for a number
of years. It has been down for one night
on Mr. Mansfield's rout. Always th
ticket on sale have been thousands too
few for th demand. So this season Omaha
Is down two nights of 'Julius Caesar.' This
was dene out of confidence In the city, for
yon know the science of successful man
agement Is to glvs as few performances to
as many peopl aa possible.
"Have you arty idea of th comparatlvs
standing of Omaha on Mr. Mansfield's tour?"
"Well, comparatively this city Is getting
more nights of 'Julias Caesar' than any
other city In America. There are Provi
dence and Montreal, the former with 178,000
and the tatter with 287,000, yet Omaha,
with 103,000, has m many nights of Mans
field as either. This Is based on the cen
sus of 1900, as are the following," he con
tinued, consulting a not book: "Louis
ville has 204,000, Indianapolis 169,000, Roch
ester 162,000, Toledo 181,000, Columbus 125,
000. Worcester US.OOO snd New Haven 108,
000;. yet these, with more population than
Omaha, hav only half aa many appear
ances of Mr. Mansfield. In other words,
they are one-night stands oa his route.
From thla you can gather Omaha's stand
ing as a center of culture and appreciation,
at least with Mr, Mansfield."
Mr. .Wllstach has been an annual visitor
to Omaha during his alx years association
with Mr, Mansfield and declares thst th
olty during the last two yesrs has shown
remarkable vitality and growth. Ha I the
author of several plays which hav been
seen here, th last of which was "A Capital
Comedy," given by ..Tim Murphy, and ho I
th brother of Frank J. Wllstach, manager
of Viola Allen, and. of Claxton Wllstach,
manager of petite Adelaide Thurston. He
haa just completed a new comedy which
he haa named "Polly Primrose." Adelaide
Thurstpn will play ''Polly Primrose" next
season.
