But for a change of plans on the whim
of the moment Midshipman Douglas c.
Cordiner and Miss Frances Lipscomb,
who were married in Baltimore yester-
day, ould have taken the crowded cleo
trio car from Baltimore which met in

only be conjectured. AS it was, Capt.
Lee NJ. Lipscomb, a chief of division in
the Office of the auditor for the Post
Office Department. father of the bride,
had a terrible shock this morning when
it was reported to him that his daughter
and her husband of few hours had been
killed in the wreck. He very nearly COL
lapsed from the shock for he was told
that the body Of young Cordiner had
been identified. and that the young wom-
an riding with him had also been instant

But Capt. Lipscomb called up Baltimore
by telephone and in a few moments, by
happy chance heard his daughters voice
over the telephone and was assured that
both she and her husband were safe But
for while it seemed to friends of the
young couple as if the wreck tragedy had
been capped by another and that the boy

their death together.
Love Finds a Way.
The wedding yesterday was just an
other case of love finding way. for the
young people had not intended to get
married for some time and their change

Department for Cordiner to report to the
battleship Mississippi Immediately after
his graduation.
So there was quick readjustment of
things. The midshipman graduated at
noon. and at half-past II o'clock took the
train for Baltimore with his bride and
her father. where the ceremony was per-
formed at o'clock in old ST. Paurs
Church by the Rev. J. Wilson Sutton.
Another reason why the ceremony was

by Judge Asa +. Stratton of Montgomery.

almost all of the time allotted to his side
for the opening, although Mr.. Aldrich and
J. H. Manning, postmaster at Alexander.

the Taft convention had been controlled
by federal officeholders and directed from
Washington. One of the northern men,
bers provoked laughter by remarking au-
dibly that IL that were true 1t In itself
proved the regularity of the Taft delega-
tion." He was called to order for Gre
ating levity.
The Taft forces under the general di-
rection of Ormsby McHarg of Washing
ton, d. c., were represented by 0. ID.

northern district of Alabama. William

executive board of the United Mine

All except members of the national COM
mittee were excluded from the room at
4:15 pm. and few minutes later It was
known that the Taft delegates had been
seated. There was no demand for q roll
call.
