The secret marriage of Lewis H.
Burgess, son of Mr. and Mrs. Ward
M. Burgess of Omaha, and Rose
Mary Quian, better known , in the
theatrical world as "Rosie" Quinn,
v,ho introduced the song "Pretty
Baby" in the 1916 Winter Garden
show at the Palace Music hall in
Chicago, was reveolcd yesterday.
Young Burgess and Miss Quinn
were married in New York three
months ago. The ceremony was the
culmination of a love affair which
started when Mrs. Burgess appeared
in Chicago in a Winter Garden show
four years ago.
Mrs. Burgess sang "Won't You Be
My Daddy," and "Won't You Write
to Me," in a snost appealing manner
during1 her presence here in the same
show and wore her golden curls in
the same captivating fashion which
has entranced patrons of the Cen
tury Roof Garden in New York this
season. '
She was invited to a house party
at the Ward Burgfss home during
the engagement, with several other
leads in the show when here.
Courtship- Is Renewed.
.Young Burgess "haunted" the rear
1 part of the theater during the sev
eral nights the young star was here,
according to Harry Cockrell, who
was assistant manager of the Boyd
theater at the time, and her depar
ture was a sad one for Lewis, Mr.
Cockrell says.
Young Burgess later renewed his
courtship of the girl who became his
wife in New York while serving dur
ing the waf on one of the "mosquito
boats" which patroled the east coast
for German submarines. During his
land leaves young Burgess show
ered the young actress with atten
tions and pesents,' and "staged"
many parties tor her, friends say.
The marriage was so secret that
even members of voung Burgess's
family were -completely surprised.
Charles Burgess, brother of Lewis
asked Monday concerning rumors
of the affair, denied any knowledge
of it. .

reservations. The election of Gov
ernor Cox, democratic presidential
nominee, he said, meant the effort
to have the United States join the
league of nations without change as
it was brought back from Europe
by President 'Wilson.
At the outset of his address, Mr.
Root said:-
"I think a large majority of the
American people earnestly wish for
an organization among, civilized nan
tions. through which the nations)
shall co-operate to prevent future
wars and that "the United States
shall do" her full share in that or
ganization. . I certainly desiret this
yery strongly."
The plan of the league of nations
relied upon the effect, of four things
taken together to prevent war, Mr.
. Roo asserted:
"First upon delay to afford time
for investigation and for passions to
cool and sober judgment to prevail.
"Second. . upon having the facts
ascertained and determined -and
made public to all the world, so
that the misunderstandings and de
ceptions under which the people of
a country are so often led to con
; sent to war may be obviated.
