ITOW WANTED MONEY BACK.

Jap, Who Is to Marry American Girl,
Has Changed Plans.

George T. Itow, a Japanese, who obtained a license to marry Mattie Rapp, an American girl of Carthage, Mo., returned to the office of Wyandotte County Probate Judge Van B. Prather yesterday afternoon and wanted his money back.

"We have changed our plans," he said. "We thought at first we would go to New York for the ceremony, but now we will be married by Miss Rapp's father in Carthage."

Judge Prather told Itow the money was pay for putting the issuance of the license on record, and that the matter had already gone too far for the court to return his money.
Itow is a traveling salesman and said to be wealthy.
