The bridal gown was an antique creation of white crepe Georgette, with long court train, embroidered in pure silver and crystals, and the princess wore over her tulle veil a fhowpr of scintillating- gold strands. She was a pitcure of girlish beauty, dignity and grace as she was escorted to the altar by her father. King Ferdinand of Rumania.

iSAYS 'FAIR PRICE' AGREEMENT STOPS HIGH COAL COSTS SecV Hoover Says "Runaway Coal Market Has Been Brought to Halt." WASHINGTON. June 8. ( Ry A. P.) Agitation breaking out on the Iloor of the senate over the administration's, efforts to keep bituminous coal prices from climbing during the strike were met Thursday night by Secy. Hoover with a statement asserting that "the essential thing about coal prices is that the runaway market has been stopped." Except for "a .-mall percentage of the present producers who have refused to co-operate." he continued, "prices have reached the level reached May 15 and the public has heen brotected from a repetition of 1?20 conditions. Precipitated by Sen. Walsh, democrat, Massascus'tts, who declared that the public patience was heing exhausted hy coal operators taking advantage of agreements reached with Mr. Hoover to boost their prices to the retailers, discussion of the fuel situation became general in L. .... the senate today "Extortion is going on with apparent goverment appropal," Sen. Walsh said, explaining, however, that he d:d not wish to criticize Mr. Hoover. The latteh. however, he declared, had been "fooled" by the operators Into approving a maximum fair price of $11.50 a ton for coal at the mines. "Some of. the senators have been misinformed." Mr. Hoover said, "by mlsleadim statements from a small group of retail dealers who objected strenuously to any attempt to restrain prices." Mr. Hoover declared that the retailers had addressed the same figures to him as they Vad to the senators in describing the present coal situation and made public his reply to Horner I). Jones, president of tho National Retail Coal Merchants' association, in which he took !sue with the retailers' position that an advance of $1.50 a ton for coal to the householder was warranted as a result of the recent neeotiatlons with the operators. Assuming from th- association's statement that it .was opposed to any governmental policy controlling the production or distribution of coal. Mr. Hoover expressed the belief thit the 'association does not wish to co-operate in the prevention of profiteering in this time of emergency" and that "such a .hange of iew" after recent promises or cooperation did not represent the vast Continued -n pipe Two THE WEATHER.
