SENATOR LUKENs WEEDS
A WASHINGTON BELLE
Statecraft Plays Part in
Interesting California
So Romance s

WASHINGTON, June 1S.-Miss Emma
V. Mullan, elder daughter Of Captain
John Mullan, u. S. A., retired, was mar
ried this afternoon at the family resi-
dence in Connecticut avenue to State
Senator George Russell Lukens OF Oak
land, Cal.
Rev. Father Buckley, assistant rector
of st. Matthew's church. performed the
ceremony in the presence of relatives
of the contracting parties from Cali
fornia, New York and Baltimore, as
well as this city. Frank Drexel Mullan
of New York, the brides brother, es-
corted his sister to the drawing room
and Miss May Mullan was her only at
tendant. Carlton5Wall of Oakland was
best man.
Mr.. and Mrs. Lukens left this after
noon for California; the professional
engagements of the bridegroom having
temporarily the right of way.
The romance which had its conclu-
sion in today's wedding is one of tho
most interesting that has ever come to
light in the capital. Miss Mullan and
her sisters, who have been prominent
socially here for some years, were
thrown on their own resources several
years ago and opened a laundry for
dainty work in the most fashionable
section of the city. They maintained
the eeSldDllSH1nenl ana t0elT Social POSI-
tfon with equal success, and the laun-
dry is today one of the striking illus
trations of the success which follows
women of high position with business
minds.
Miss Mullan met Mr.. Lukens when
she went to California and acted as
her own attorney in a claim of the
Mullan family against the state of Cali
fornia. Mr. Lukens was arrayed on the
side of the state. Miss Mullan won,
and not only returned to her eastern
home with a snug little $4,000 in her
pocket, but carried away as well the
heart of the opposing counsel.
Cardinal Gibbons hoped to have per-
formed the marriage ceremony because
of his long friendship with the brides
family as well as herself. but prior en-
gagements filled this date.

MAYOR" NOT CHOSEN
No Selection to Be Made Till Legal
Questions Are Settled

1t was announced yesterday that the
person to succeed Gallagher. as acting
mayor would not be decided upon for
several days. A number of names are
under consideration, but a final choice
will be deferred until there is no
danger of legal complications. 1t was
also stated that after the new mayor
had been chosen, the members of the
board of supervisors who have con-
fessed to boodling operations would be
ousted. They will be allowed to re-
sign and their places filled with men
of known standing. The supervisors
are eager to retire, but can do so only
with the consent of the men who swing
the big stick.
While the committee of the CONNER
cial organizations has not yet sub
mitted any names for public Offices it
will shortly make recommendations for
places on the police commission and
board of works. Some weeks
ago the commercial organizations sub
mitted a list to Schmitz on which were
the following names; Louis Sloss, w.
G. Stafford E. j. Bates, George A New
hall and Stanley w. Moorehead. These
men were proposed for the police COM
mission and the board of works
and there is reason to believe that
the same list with additions will be
submitted to the mayor to be.

.LawlOr Blocks
Plan to Delay
Bribery Trials
Long Examination
Of Grand Jury
Prevented
Lawyers Must Finish
Their Inquiry Friday

- -
Indicted captains of industry will not
be permitted to conduct a series of pro-
longed examinations of grand Jurors to
delay their trials on charges of'offering g
and giving bribes
Judge Lawlor dashed any such hopes
that they may have entertained yes
terday morning when he told Foreman
B. p. oliver of the grand Jury and the
counsel for numerous defendants un-
der something more than 200 indict-
ments that the examination of the
grand jurors must be taken up on Fri
day morning and prosecuted to an i'm
mediate conclusion. Counsel for all the
defendants will. if they choose, be per-
mitted to participate in the examina- /
ton. but when completed it must serve
for all. Counsel for Glass are not In
terested in the examination of grand
jurors and Ruef will not take an ac-
tive part in it,
Judge Lawlor refused yesterday TO
accept the affidavit of William NJ Alb
bott as proof of his claim of attempted
unlawful coercion in the prosecution's IS
effort to secure his testimony before
the grand jury in connection with the
trolley bribery cases.
Stanley Moore presented on Monday
voluminous affidavit by Abbott in
support of the defendants motion TO
set aside the trolley bribery indict-
ments. Judge Lawlor then announced
that he would hold his ruling in abey-
ance He said yesterday that he was
ready to rule and that the affidavit
would not be accepted as evidence. The
defendant, he said, must introduce oral
proofs.
In response to Moore's inquiry touch
ing the saving of an exception, the
court said:
The ruling is not based entirely on
the right of the defense to present such
evidence, but the court regards the
grand jury as an appendage of the
court and is especially interested in
preserving its integrity. I am not dis
posed to permit this matter to lag and
you will be prepared to present your
oral testimony at IL o'clock tomorrow
morning"
Motions to set aside the indictments
in several scores of graft cases came
briefly before Judge Lawlor yesterday
morning. Aside from some testimony
to be presented on behalf of the United
Railroads officials and Louis Glass the
next step in support of the motions in
wolves the examination of grand jurors
and this will be taken up Friday morn
ing.
Foreman B. p. Oliver and Secretary
c. G. Burnett of the grand jury were
in court, the latter in response to a
subpoena. Judge Lawlor assured oliver
| that he wished to consult the cons
venience of the jurors and that Oliver
might inform them that their examina-
tion would be taken up on Friday and
completed and that they would not be
compelled to return TO court again.
This order of the court involves, the
motions made to set aside the indict-
nents against Eugene E. Schmitz, Abe
Ruef, Patrick Calhoun, Thornwell Null
lally, Tirey L. Ford, William M. Abbott,
Eugene de Saba and John Martin.

Budget to Be Enacted Without Schnitz' Signature

tho court that the district attorney
had attempted TO oust Schmitz from Of
fce and that the indicted mayor was
cspable and willing TO perform the
duties the prosecution had compelled
the board Of supervisors to lay on an
other. Addressing the court Drew
said:
~Tf your honor please, we want an
order permitting this defendant TO be
at liberty today for a consultation with
his counsel and for the transaction OF
such other public and private business
as may be necessary. The district at
torney has attempted TO oust the mayor
from Office illegally, and we ask the
court for an order which will permit
him to perform the duties he is by law
charged with"
The prosecution did not interpose
any objection or in any way comment
lpon Drew's motion The court i'm
rnediateIy replied denying the motion
in so far as it touched the transaction
OF any business beyond consultation
with counsel. Judge Lawlor said:
L was influenced in the order I made
yesterday by the attitude of Judge
Dunno in this case. Until Judge Dunno
returns ] shall not enlarge the order
made yesterday Without formal or
der the sheriff is directed to permit the
prisoner 10 20 to his attorneys office
and thence TO return him to Jail
He may go to his attorneys office and
nowhere else, nor viii he be permitted
10 transact other business, either pub
lie or private"
While Schmitz undoubtedly expected
the court to refuse his application for
leave 10 return to the mayors office,
he was unable to entirely hide his dis
appointment and was obviously defect
ed as he followed Drew from the court
room.
