FROM ONE FAMILY.

Cleveland. Ohio. Aug. 1O.-Ever
since Foraker and Taft battled for the
Ohio presidentiol vote in the Repub-

senatorial situation has been highly
complex. During the early days of
the Taft canvass one of his greatest
stumbling blocks was the notorious di-
vision Of his own party in his own
Senator Dick and other friends. The
division was due primarily to long con-
tinued hostility between Foraker and
the Roosevelt policy, which naturally
resulted in hostility between Foraker

DAUGHTER OF
FALLIERES WEEDS
AFFAIR WAS DEVOID OF USUAL.
SOCIAL BRILLIANCE FOR
VARIOUS REASONS.

Paris, Aug. 10.-As a sequence to
the separation of church and state in
France and incidentally because of
the mourning of the bridegroom, the
marriage today of Madeline Ann
Marie Fallieres, daughter of the presi-
dent of the French republic, to Jno
Jean Joseph Edward Lanes, the presi-
dents secretary, was not attended
with the social brilliancy which one
might expect would embel1ish the nup-
tials of the daughter of the president
of France. The wedding was striking
for its simplicity. Mayor Allou legally
united the couple at the city hall of
Elysee palace. The marriage was
blessed by nuptial mass at the
church of the Madeline.
