WEDDING IN WASHINGTON
A Forecast of the Marriage Of Miss
Roosevelt 10 Mr.. Longworth at
the White House Today

washington, Feb. 16.-Miss ROOse-
welt spent most Of the day with her
girl chums. experimenting the decora-
ton Of the fiower-embOwered bridal
altar and inspecting presents which
continue TO arrive by express and mes
seEger.
That the bride takes more than a
casual interest in the way the decOra-
tions are arranged was proved by the
fact that she vetoed the first plan pro-
posed by the florist for placing ferns
and palms about the altar. They were
arranged so that the couple would be
screened from view. To this Miss
Roosevelt objected, desiring that all
present be given an unObstructed
view.
Just where the couple viii spend

Jacksonville Metropolis.)

There was an unusual proceeding in
circuit court chambers this morning
and it may enlighten ignorant people
to know what risk they run in writing
letters to judges of courts.
One, Michael Quinn, clerk for ]. j
White. a fruit dealer at No. III East
Bay street, was arrested this morning
by order Of Judge r. VI. Call, and
brought before the judge to answer to
the charge of contempt and to say
why ne should not be punished. With
Quinn came Walter NJ. Davis and Mr.
Odom, of the firm of Shaylor & Odom
as attorneys for the defendant.

A Ready Letter Writer

The offense consisted in Quinn writ
ing a letter to Judge Call, which was
received yesterday, reading as follows:
February IA, 1906.

The Prisoners Explanation

The attorneys for defendant sub
mitted a lengthy answer to the rule.
In it was the admission Of Quinn of
writing and sending the letter and Of
fering the money and that no wrong
intention TO influence or corrupt the
court was his thought or desire. The
answer also alleged Quinn's ignorance
Of practice and rules Of courts. and he
was under the impression that the
judge was compensated by law for SER
vices rendered in divorce suits or
other suits attended to otherwise than
in open court. and he was anxious that
a decree in divorce be made by Feb
ruary 14th. NO disrespect whatever
was intended" said Quinn's attorney.
County Solicitor Bryan appeared
for the court, and held that the charge
was a grave indiscretiOn and a vio-
lation' of the state law.
Judge Call then ordered Quinn i'm
prisoned in the county Jail for thirty
days. adjudging him guilty Of con-
tempt. Quinn then took the road 10
the Jail, accompanied by Sheriff
Brown.
