Daughter Of Worlds Richest
Woman a Bride.
WILL HAVE $4,000 A DAY
Was Married In Her Street Dress,
But Has Magnificent Trousseau For
Wedding Journey-Mother Opposed
Match and Spoke Plainly to Bride
groom.

Hoboken, n. J., Feb. "a. - Sylvia
Green. only daughter OF Mrs. Hetty
Green, the richest woman IN the
world. was married at Morristown.
N. J.. 10 Matthew Astor Wilks, great
grandson Of the first John Jacob
Astor.
The bride is just past thirty years
OF age and will inherit half OF her
mothers estate OF $50. 600. 900. The
bridegroom is about sixty-hve years
old and is said to be worth $4,000, 0O0s
The ceremony took place in st. Pc
ter's Episcopal church and was per-
formed by Rev. Philsmon Sturges, the
rector.
Although Sylvia Green was married
IN her street dress, she has as fine a
trousseau as any wealthy girl married
In this country ever packed into her
trunks for a wedding Journey.
There are more gowns than Hetty
Green herself has possessed in her
lifetime. and they are ali OF a charac-
ter and costliness that a few years
ago. before Sylvia began to have her
own way a little. would have been Ut.
Il
tically no expense has been spared.
The lingeries is largely OF imported
material and 1T for princess.
II can be stated on excellent au-
thority that it was not until last Sun
day that Mrs. Green gave her consent
TO the marriage. although Mr.. Wilks
has been counting Sylvia Green for
some Ten years. and the young woman
has been favorably disposed toward
him for the greater part Of that time.
Mrs. Green was opposed to the
match from the first. She objected. II
is said. to Mr.. Wilks' age. He is sixty
i've. She would have preferred TO
have her daughter marry n younger
man. Even though she has now given
her consent. friends OF the family I'M
derstand she is not wholly certain in
mind that her cspitulation was wise.
In fact Mrs. Green. noted for her
franlness. did not hesitate TO tell Mr..
Wilks himself her reason for her hest
fancy.
In a heart-to-heart talk Mrs. Green
had several days ago with her daugh-
ter's sutton the old lady wound up
somewhat snappishly by saying:
Mr., Wilks. | think you're a pretty
nice man. and I've no doubt you'll
treat Sylvia decently. But. Mr.. WINS.
you're sixty-five years old and you've
got the govt And. Mr.. Wilks. I want

An heir would hold this great for
tune intact in the direct line OF de-
scent, and the bulk OF It would not be
dispersed. This, believe. concerns
my daughters happiness also"

ONLY THREE CHICAGOANS ON
Court Viii Hear Argument as 10
Whether Shipments or Settlements
Of Freight Charges Constitute Of
fense-couId Be Fined $4,000, 900
Under First Construction.


Chicago, Feb. 24.-The retrial OF the
Standard Oil Company of Indiana was
Unexpectedly delayed when Judge An
derson in the United States district
court Quashed the panel of $50 venire-
men because of what he considered
the singularly large proportion OF far
mers thereon.
1t was a so-called farmers" Jury
which brought in the verdict making
Judge lands fine of $29. 240, 900 in the
original case possible, and John 8.
Miller, OF the defense, was prompt in
calling the courts attention TO the
fact that the panel then presented for
the new trial contained by three Chi
cagoans, although 60 per cent OF the
population within the jurisdiction OF
the court lives within Cook county.
''It looks like design. or II not de-
sign, it looks like a strange coinci-
dence," commented Judge Anderson.
whereupon T. G. Mcmillan and r c.
Jones, the jury commissioners. insist.
ed with vigor that the latter was the
case; that the panel had been drawn
exactly as in other cases. This the
court later admitted TO be a fact.
District Attorney Sims and his spe-
cial assistant. James II. Wilkerson,
quoted authorities 70 show that all a
defendant can legally claim is a fair
trial and an honest and intelligent jury
TO try HIS ,ase. Mr.. Wilkerson de-
clared that the Jury did not need to
represent every portion or a Judicial
district. Il don't want TO start IN with
this hearing feeling that there is some
thing unfair" answered the court.
I'VE ought to start fair and keep fair
think this panel ought TO be set
aside. | will instruct the jury commits
sion 20 put in $50 names OF men, a
good proportion of whom shall be good
business men from Chicago and Cook
county"
On motion OF Mr.. Miller. Judge An
derson said he would hear arguments
OF counsel as 20 whether shipments or
settlements OF freight charges consti-
tute the offense. The government will
contend that each shipment OF oil on
which an alleged rebate was paid
forms a separate violation OF the law.
Under this construction OF ne law It
would be possible to fine the defend
ant. II found guilty. a maximum OF
$10.0000OO. There were, II is charged,
thirty-six settlements OF freight
charges on these shipments. Accept.
ing this view. a maximum fine of
s720,000 is possible.
The Jury commission was ordered
TO produce the new panel tomorrow.
