We do not wish TO be understood as

upon bank officials as a class, or upon
those who are honest, banking being
legitimate business and one
necessary TO the commercial and ex-

Wed a Week Ago.
Yesterday They Announced 1t and
Are Receiving Congratulations
in Their New Home.

The innocent announcement of the mar
rlage of Miss Marie Isabel Burns and Mr..
George ID. HOrnIng. both OF this city, was
received yesterday by their relatives and
friends with cxclamations OF surprise. They
knew tue young couple were engaged and
they knew, too, that Miss Marie's parents
had said the wedding could not take place
until September, for Marie has all older
sister whose wedding had been fixed for
one of these bright spring days.
The young couple submitted for a time
to what appeared to be the inevitable.
but they finally grew tired of waiting
because September semed TO be such a.
long ways Off. 1t was along in the middle
OF April that little Cupid began firing
in his arrows so thick and fast that they
couldn't wait any longer. on Sunday, the
18th, Mr.. Horning and Miss Burns quietly
slipped away TO baltimore, and when they.
came home it was Mr.. and Mrs. Horning.
Mrs. Horning went to her parents home,
No. 1920 A street southeast. and Mr.. Hor-
ming to his business. The secret got out
however. a lady friend of the bride first
learning OF the marriage, and then one or
two more, until yesterday this announce
ment was made public:
''Mr. and Mrs. James Burns OF Capitol
Hill announce the marriage OF their daugh-
ter, Marie Isabel, to George D. Uorning

1t was not until many days had elapsed
that MT. and Mrs. Burns became aware
of the marriage OF their youngest daugh
ter, for on the Monday week following
the ceremony Mr.. HOrning applied for
mally TO Mr.. Burns for the hand of his
daughter. Up TO last night Mrs. Horning
has lived at her parents home, but after
a reception rendered the young bride and
groom by their friends at the home of
Mr.. Burns she accompanied her husba nd to

CAPITAL RAILWA AY BILL.
House Conferees Max Liberal A mend
mentS Fayortng the Company

Yesterday afternoon the conferees on
the Capital Railway bill made their re-
port, W hich was adopted by the two houses
of Congress. The conferees accepted the
House amendments with the follow ing
provisions:
THAT the portions of the Company's
routes from Congress or Pencote Heights
to Shepherds landing and the Harrison
street branch east TO the District line
shall he completed within two years from
the passage of this act. Provided, That
failure to complete the said portions of the
routes as provided for in this section, and
also failure to complete the extension on
Eleventh street east, shall operate to re-
peal the authority to build said portions.
and shall not repeal the charter OF said
company"
This means that the company must build
its road from the Navy Yard to Congress
Heights within one year. The balance of the
route is entirely optional with the company
as to whether they shall build 1t or not.
The way the bill passed the House the COM
pany was compelled to build the road to
Shephcrd's Landing, and also to the Dis
trict line beyond Good Hope, or forfeit their
entire charter; but the conferees have been
very liberal, and only require the company
to build that portion of the road from the
Navy Yard to Congress Heights.
Practical railroad men state that the
Capital Railway Companys route, includ.
ing the Eleventh street branch, can be
built within sixty days.
The Anacostia Railroad fought this com
pany up to the last, butthe Capital Railway
Company won its hurd fight fairly, and Sc
cured everything they wanted. This iegis
lation will no doubt put a stop to the cry
for rapid transit to Congress Heights, Ana
Costa and Overlook Inn.

ALL BUT SANTA MONICA.
River and Harbor Bill Agreed Upon
in Conference

The conference report on the river and
harbor bill, submitted yesterday, shows
final agreement on all items but the pro-
posed deep sea harbor at Santa Monica,
California, and the harbor at Wilmington,
California.
With respect to the contest between
Santa Monica and San Pedro, the conten-
tion of the House conferees was that if
the decision Of the board which it was
proposed should be created by the Senate
amendment should decide in favor of San
Pedro then the inner harbor at San Pedro
should not be permitted among the con-
tinuous contracts, as that would make
two for that locality.
Even if the Senate amendment were
adopted it would not settle definitely the
location of the harbor, as that would
have to be further arranged for by Con-
gress The House conferees insisted.
that all the appropriations be stricken
out and that board be appointed to eX
anime and survey the harbor OF Santa
Monica and the inner and outer harbor
of San Pedro.
With the exception of these two imPor-
tant appropria tions, the House conferees
have. in the main. yielded to the amounts

Daniel Jones Trial Was Due and he
Had No Money to Get Here.
Daniel W. Jones; who was arrested on
May 8, charged with embe zZling S26 from
j. S. Thompson, milk dealer, walked
into a police station in Baltimore yester-
day and asked to be sent to Washington.
Jones was out on bail, and had gone to
Baltimore on business.
On Monday night he was robbed while
asleep in a hotel of what money he had
and his watch and papers. Tuesday
morning his trial was to be called up in
Washington. Jones knew this, but was
unable TO procure funds with which to pa
his expenses to this city. Finally, in
desperation, he walked into police station
and asked to be sent on.
The police misunderstood the case and
thinking the man was q fugitive from
justice, placed him in a cell and commu-
nicated with the Washington authorities.
Yesterday afternoon Detective Hartigan
went to Baltimore, explained the case
to the police, and returned with Jones.
Meantime, the case had been called in
court. and, fortunately, continued until
rlddy.
