ushers wore white pun cravats and white houtonniers and the bride, of course, was attired in the purest white. The day was gray and cold, with misty northeast wind blowing in from the sea.
 For an hour preceding the ceremony an orchestra played and just at noon the strains of the Lofengrin march signalled the approach of the bridal party. The Rev. Father Meenan. attended by two altar boys, previously had taken his place at a foral altar, and just as the process sion started down the grand staircase Mir. Vanderbilt, accompanied by his elder brother, Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt. took positions beside the priest.
 Miss Nelson advanced on the arm of her uncle. Mir. Frederick Gebhardt. Her four bridesmaids were Miss Isabelle May of Washington. Miss Florence Twombiey, q cousin of MT. Vanderbilt: Miss Evelyn Parsons and Miss, Nathalie schenck.
 The ushers, who led the procession. were Jules B. Nelson. . brother of the bride; Ellis Adams of Orange, N. T.. Arthur s. Burden of New York, 6. ". Stone of Syracuse. Peter Goelet Gerry and Albert Gray of New York.
 The bride was gowned in heavy white silk with costly veil of rare lace fiow- ing back from the crown of her head to the end of the train. Around her throat was tightly clasped serpent necklace of rareset pearls. the gift of the bridegroom.
 The ceremony was brief. Its cuimina- ton was indicated by the Mendelssohn march. A reception followed and an in- spection was made of the bridal gifts, which were declared to be probably aa costly an array as was ever bestowed on two young people at the advent of their married life. Then came the wedding breakfast.
 Mir. and Mrs. Vanderbilt left for their new villa at Sandy Point, a few miles up the island during the afternoon. where they will spend few days previous to q three months trip to Europe.

COMPLAIN OF RATES
CENTRAL YELLOW PINE AS
 ISOLATION HAS KICK.
Files With Interstate Commerce Commission Request for an Investigation of Alleged
 Illegal Acts of Railroads.

Washington, April 1.-The Central Yei- low Pine Association. composed of lumber manufacturers and shippers in Mississip- pi, Alabama and Georgia. today filed with the Interstate Commerce Commission a formal request for an investigation of al- legged illegal advantages given to the man. ufacturers of yellow pine lumber whose mills and plants are located along the Rising River in Arkansas and Louisiana. west of the Mississippi River.
 The complaint alleges that in order to give these advantages over the complain ant in rival markets. the defendant roads have introduced the practice of disguis- ing rebates given on lumber shipments through so-called "tap hne'' divisions of freight carried. This means allowances on account of the logging railroads owned by the manufacturers and shippers them selves to haul logs from their timber lands to thslr various mills along the lines of the ratiroads.
 Such clippers the complainant ai- lsges, ''are treatsA a& carriers protanto of the lumber rAk.infa6t9fed <fna. tfle iogs billed out and over the same railroads Upon the false theory that such shippers are engaged in the continuous interstate and intercartage of their lumber they are allowed and paid substantial portion of the freight from the point of shipment to the point of destination, no matter how many lines of railroads participate in the carriage. The so-calied tap division amounts to 6 rebate from the regular and published tariff rates chargeabie against shippers in general to as much as cents per hundred pounds. or SIS per carload"
 The roads made defendants are the Vicksburg. Shreveport and Pacific; Kan sas City Southern. St. Louis Southwest ern and the St. Louis. Iron Mountain and Southern.

Roosevelt is Firmly Resolved to Spill
 No Lion's Blood.

No Lions Blood.
 Cinrabar. Mont. April A.-President Roosevelt broke camp yesterday and Is slowly working his way to Major Pitch- CTS headquarters at Fort Yellowstone. He is expected to arrive Ut Yancey's to- night or tomorrow morning. and to reach the fort some time Thursday. He will re- main there one day and then will start for Norris, where the geysers are.
 There Is a good deal of snow between the fort and Norris and the engineer corps is at work opening the road. Word received from the President today was to the effect that he is in the best of health and thoroughly enjoying his out ing. In addition to the horseback riding. he takes long walks over the mountain trails. Notwithstanding reports to the contrary, the President has not fired . shot at a mountain lion, and has no inc tention of doing 50.
 It Is estimated that there are 800 of these animals in the park. and they are killing large quantities of deer and elk. A determined effort is being made to ex- terminate them, and Buffalo Jones, the game warden of the park. together with his scouts, is staying them on every pos- sible occasion. Mir. Jones has offered to round up lion or two for the President to shoot at, but the latter has declined to do SO. The weather continues to be all that could be desired. and the members of the party are living on the train at Cinnabar, having good time fishing and riding through the country.

Porto Rican Grand Jury Asks
 for Information.
Judge Holt, in Written Instructions, Says Even the President Has No
  Right to Interfere to ' Prevent Indictment.

San Juan. P. R., April n.-The grand jury Is investigating the so-called snug giing cases in which officers of the Uni ted States navy and other prominent men are involved. notwithstanding the in- structions which, it is stated, District Attorney Pettinsiil has received from the Department of Justice at Washington not to present information to the grand jury this term.
 The press and the natives have practi- cally demanded an investigation inas- much as last term native merchant named Ricardo Amado was sentenced to a years confinement in the penitentiary and fine of $500 for having contraband liquor in his possession.
 This afternoon the grand jury came into court and asked for information. The foreman said:
 Tt has come to our knowledge that certain cases of smuggling have occurred. We have asked the District Attorney about the matter and he refused to bring up the matter. alleging that he had re- ceived certain instructions. We now ask the Judge if we have right Co informa- ton in spite of the District Attorneys s refusal"
 Judge Holt's Charge.
 Judge Holt had prepared a written charge. the reading of which caused a sensation. He said in part:
 When you were empaneled at the be- ginning of the term, you swore that you would make a diligent inquiry into. and 6 true presentment of such matters given to you or which might otherwise come to your knowledge touching violations of the you would make no presentrnent through envy, hatred, favor, affection. or reward or through hope thereof. You could not if you desired escape from the obligations of your oath by needing the instructions of sny one. The honored President of the United states could pardon, but he could not interfere.
 eff you believe that any one had given instructions tending to prevent the fullest investigation into the commission of a crime in the United States, and the re- turning of an indictment if the evidence so warrants. then you should be inspired by an additional determination to do your duty. The court has knowledge of the instructions to which the District Attor- ney alludes. It Is proper to say that 1t is my opinion that there has been no in- tention of encroachins upon your sworn duty or the judicial domain"
 The testimony submitted last December regarding the smuggling cases pointed to a. dozen prominent officials of the navy, army and insular government and citizens being implicated in the charges.

PRAISE FOR HANNIs TAYLOR.
His Latest Appointment Meets With
 Commentator.

Washington, April 4.-tSpectai.)-T appointments of two Southerners, J. McDiclinson of Tennessee and Hannis Taylor of Alabama. as members of the counsel for the Alaskan Boundary Com mission, are remarked with special com mendation in Washington. The Post of this city had the following:
 "Tt is pleasant to hear and to be able, in all sincerity. to echo praise so modest ly earned and so thoroughly deserved
 MT. Taylor's service in Spain received the highest approval from a Republican administration; his work on international law is recognized both in this country and Europe as an authority; while his record as counsel for the Spanish Treaty Claims Commission is daily vindicating the most favorable expectations of the Government. .
 We quite agree that no better ap- pointment could have been made.
 MT. Taylor's diplomatic experience and his profound knowledge of international law, joined to and animated by judicial temperament, unusual clearness and serenity, constitute peculiarly delicious equipment for the important duty to which he has been assigned"
