WHITE HOUSE GAY President’s Daughter United to Francis B, Scyre. COLLEGEATE AIR PREVAILS Ceremony Performed b'y Rev. Sylvester W. Beach of Princeton, N. J., an Old Friend of the Wilson FamilyThirteenth White House Bride, but There May Soon Be Others. WASHINGTON, D. C.—Miss Jessie Wilson, daughter of the president of the United States, and Francis B. Sayre, of New York, a lawyer were married, in the east room of the White House. Preparations for the wedding had been going on for some weeks, and were most elaborate. The platform upon which the bridal party stood was erected just under the great east window of the east room, which is known as the bridal window. It was under this window that Nellie Grant was married to Al gernon Sartoris and that Alice Roosevelt became Mrs. Nicholas I z ongworth. both within the memory of many of the residents of Washington. Rev. Sylvester Beach Officiates. The Rev. Sylvester W. Beach of Princeton, N. J., an old friend of the Wilson family, performed the marriage ceremony. The best man was Dr. Wilfred Grenfell, with whom Mr. Sayre worked in Labrador. The bride was attended by her elder sister, Margaret, as maid of honor and her younger sister, Eleanor; Miss Mary G. White of Baltimore, Miss A. Goucher, a college friend of the bride; Miss Adeline Mitchell Scott of Princeton, and Miss Majorie Brown, daughter of Mrs. Wilson's cousin, Colonel E. T. Brown of Atlanta. Ga., as bridesmaids. The ushers were Charles E. Hughes Jr., son of the supreme coure justice; Benjamin B. Burton of New York; Dr. Scoville Clark of Salem. Mass., and Dr. Gilbert Horax of Montclair, N. J. The bride was given away by her father. President Wilson. Collegiate Atmosphere Prevails. Although a large number of officials had been invited to the wedding, no. more than a score of Washingtonians outside of the official circle were invited. The guests, for the most part, were old friends of the Sayre and Wilson families. There was a large number of guests from Princeton, N. J., where Miss Wilson spent the greater part of her life. Mr. Sayre’s friends at Williams college and the Harvard law school also came in large numbers. The company presented outside its official tinge a collegiate atmosphere that made It unique among White House weddings. Thirteenth White House Bride. While Miss Wilson has the distinction of being the thirteenth young woman to become a bride in the White House', it is by no means certain that •hers will be the only wedding ceremony to be held there diring her father’s administration. The president has two other daughters, who vie with their sister in attractiveness, and it is by no means impossible that the names of one or both of these may yet be added to the distinguished ' list of White House brides. “believes" victims HAVE BEEN FIXED New York Prosecutor Suspects Police Department. NEW YORK — The chief difficulty attending the investigation of District Attorney Whitman into the matter of police protection for the wireless wire tappers has been that victims of the wire tappers who have information which would be of great use to Mr. Whitman have refused to testify. There is a strong suspicion in the minds of Mr. Whitman and his assistant, Frederick Groehl, that these witnesses have been tampered with. The members of the wire tapping gang have all coiifessed to .Mr. Whitman, and are anxious to turn state’s evidence against the policemen who accepted protection money, so Mr. Whitman does not believe that any of the wire tappers have tampered with these potential witnesses. He believes tfiat the fixing has been done by members, or former members, of the police department who are interested in blocking the prosecution.

MRS. FRANCIS B. SAYRE - 1 1 President Wilson’s Daughter, the Thirteenth Bride of White House. - or : GENERAL NEWS. : WASHINGTON—Senator Robert L. Owen opened the.currency debate in the senate. He talked for a little more than an hour following closely the lines of his report to the senate on the Owen bill. At the conclusion of his speech he formally offered the bill as a substitute for the Glass bill. The senate after considering the matter informally decided that that body would not adjourn on account of Miss Wilson's wedding. Secretary McAdoo came upon the floor of the senate and took a seat on the Democratic side and heard Senator Owen’s speech. Chairman Owen charged in the course of his speech that the panic of 1907 was manufactured. “1 cannot believe it was an accident,” said he. “The result was a part of a concerted plan ,by which a few men enriched themselves at the expense pf the nation and administered a political rebuke to the administration then in power.” NEW YORK — Sidney Moultrop, handcuffed to a deputy United trop, handcuffed to a deputy United States marshal, left for Washington at two o'clock in the afternoon to stand trial on an indictment charging him with forging the name of Senator J. Hamilton Lewis, for whom he worked as secretary, to a check for $240, drawn on the National Metropolitan Bank of Washington. He is also under indictment for stealing and pawning a ring belonging to the senator’s wife. According to federal authorities here the federal grand jury at Washington is also planning to indict him on a charge of fabricating the letter in which the writer, who represented himself as Senator Lewis, offered Henry Pindell, the Peoria, 111., editor a year’s junketing trip in Russia under the guise of ambassadorship. CHICAGO — The women are to serve as judges and clerks of election in the coming spring elections. This was a decision which County Judge John E. Owens handed to the delegagatiou of women who beseiged his chambers. Judge Owens announced that women would be assigned to the various 1,400 precincts. Under his plan judges and clerks win be alternated, so that there will be 700 women judges and 700 women clerks. The law provides that judges and clerks of elections shall be householders. but in the case of the First ward this question will be waived, because of the women in the ward reside at hotels. NEW YORK — With one victim of bichloride of mercury poisoning apparently well on the road to recovering and another slightly improved, New York physicians are in hopes that the surgeon’s knife has found away out of what has been considered an almost fatal condition. Mrs. Helen Janin, wife of J. A. Janin of 50 Felton avenue, West Brigton, S. I. operated on a week ago by Dr. Alfred 4'homas of New Brighton, is said to be practically well. LONDON, ENG.—Lord Cowdray is extremely worried‘over newspaper articles and threats of revolutionists that unless he makes contributions to their cause his oil tanks and plants will be destroyed. While his oil interests are enormous he is equally anxious regarding his men. English and Americans, who threaten to resist with their lives any attack on tl« property. KANSAS CITY, MO.—One indict ment charging eight men with misuse of the mails in a conspiracy to defraud in connection with the Operations of the Florida Fruit Lands company, was returned by the federal grand jury. The indictment among others is against Richard J. Bolles, a millionaire of Jacksonville, Fla. INDIANAPOLIS, 'IND. — Martin J. Hyland, superintendent of police, resigned when the board of public works exonerated the thirty patrolmen whom Hyland charged with insubordination for failure to ride on attest cars during the recent strike.

VILLA IN VIGIW is Repulses Attack by Federats to Recapture Juarez. REBELS AFTER GEN. SALAZAR Want to String His Body Up to a Telegraph Pole in Juarez —Villa Renews the Battle Against the Federais and Takes the Offensive —Formidable Line of Battle. VERA CRUZ, MEN. — John Lind, Mr. Wilson’s personal representative, went aboard the United States battleship Rhode Island and the vessel sailed for Tampico, MCx.; in accordance with instructions from Washington. The majority of the American squadron will soon be at Tampico and Tuxpam, only the Michigan, New Jersey, Virginia and Tacoma remaining here. EL PASO, TEXAS — Sleeping oi arms under a downpour of rain afte! their night of victorious fl gh tin J against the pick of the federal army, 7.000 rebel troops under General Francisco Villa rested in the early morning, only to renew the battle at dawn and take the offensive against the new men under Rojas, Caraveo and Landa, while the other famous federal general. Jose Yuez Salazar, and his soldiers, remain virtual prisoners near Rancho Flores, surrounded by a victorious rebel force which seeks General Salazar so his body may be strung up to a telepraph pole in Juarez at the command of the rebel leader. Although the federate were repelled from their attack to regain possession of Juarez, after eight hours of the fiercest fighting which the constitutionalist revolution has produced, General Villa believes he must harass them further if he would gain for his cause the territory north of Chihuahua City and inflict upon them such a crushing defeat that the federal army of Chihuahua will be demoralized. General Villa said that the federal forces are a few miles south of Samalayuca, but witji one of their troop trains surrounded by rebels. The general expects the government troops to make a sortie to the rescue of the train and is making every preparation to defeat them. Stretched in a semicircle, fifteen miles from end to end, the rebel army presents a formidable battle line, and so far the wily constitutionalist leader has been able to make all detached attacks become general engagements in which the whole of the army is employed. It was in this manner that he repelled the first onslaught of the federals and forced them to await darkness for resumption of their main attack which Villa, through a strategic move, turned into utter rout. BOOTHS ARE RECONCILED Heads of Salvation Army and Volunteers Meet. NEW YORK — General Bramwell Booth, commander qf the Salvation Army, and General Ballington Booth, commander of the Volunteers of America, were reconciled after an estrangement lasting nearly eighteen years.

The time is gone by when farmers should be content with raising boviues and calling them cows merely because they happen to have hides, horns ami hoot’s. The point of this remark will; be the clearer when it is stated that at a cattle sale in a western dairy state ordinary grade cows sold for an aver-; age price of $l3O a head. These grades were Holsteins and belonged to meh who were members of a county cow testing association. Buyers who came to the sale were perfectly willing to pay a high price if they could get a cow whose record they could inspect and that they were convinced could deliver the goods. One of these grades brought $l9O. The facts of this sale should have a suggestion for farmers who have been milking cows year after year simply because they have worn an innocent look or a pleasant smile. \ Stineberg Goes to Prison. BLOOMINGTON, IND. — After he had been given a six months’ jail sentence and S7OO fine for attacking , Helen Murphy, a student of Indiana university, Thomas Stineberg was taken upon a petit larceny charge from which he had been excused on promise of good behavior and sen- . tenced to serve two to fourteen years in prison by Judge Wilson. i Plays Samaritan to Mule.

THINK THAT BULLET WAS FDR ANOTHER Authorities Believe Would-Be-Assassin Mistook Man. WINCHESTER. IND. The investigation of a shooting affray at Union City, in which Ralph Thornburg, seventeen years old. narrowly escaped being shot to death, leads the Randolph county authorities to believe that the . shot was meant for another. > Thornburg, who is a high school student, a member of the Union City band and of a theater orchestra, was shot at from ambush. He has no known enemies and the officials at first were at loss to ascribe a motive lor iiie attempted assassination. Now, however, they have evidence which, they say, leads them to believe that the shot was intended for the youth’s brother, Victor Thornburg, who is the prosecuting witness in the case against Paul V. Walters of Jay county, recently arrested in Bloomington following the theft of an automobile from Victor Thornburg, and with which theft Walters accused.
