Special Dispatch TO The Star.
BALTIMORE. March "a marriage of
much interest which took place here to-
day was that of Miss Mary Nicodemus,

demus. to Joshua Warfield, jr., son of Mr.
and Mrs. Joshua Wartield of Howard
county, Md. The bride is niece of Mrs.

mortal Presbyterian Church by the pastor.
Rev. John Timothy Stone. The bride wore
going away gown of gray broadcloth
with touches of white embroidered in
gray and silver and gray hat with white

MEAT NOT DISEASED.
Agricultural Department Does Not
Accent Report From London.

Little credence is placed by officials
of the Department of Agriculture in the
report just received from London that
diseased meat had been found in ship
ments from the United States. The
stat cement of the health officer of the port
of London was that he had found dis
eased conditions in sheep. lambs and
calves, and that one consignment of hog
carcasses were without the Emphatic
glands. the inference being that the in
spectors had found signs of disease in
the glands and had cut them out.
1t is said at the Department of Agri-
culture that the meat possibly may have
been spoiled by defective refrigeration,
as that is always a possibility, but there
was not much fear expressed that any
signs of disease would get by the in
spectors. The packing houses habitually
select the best meat for export and after
the raking over that they received recent
ly il is not thought likely that they would
let any diseased meat get into an export
market

AGAINST BUILDERS LICENSE.
Columbia Heights Citizens File Pro
test With Commissioners.

4 protest against the enactment of the
proposed law for licensing builders, in
the District has been filed with the Dis
trct Commissioners by the Columbia
Heights Citizens Association, through
it's secretary, w. B. Todd.
I'VE earnestly protest against the pro-
posed measure to license builders in the
District of Columbia" the resolution sub
mitted to the District authorities says,
because the evil to be remedied. namely.
the work of incompetent or unconscien-
tious builders. can be dealt with more
effectively by rigid official inspection. To
that end we recommend that the District
he provided with an adequate force of
building inspectors of ascertained COM
petency.'

ON HIS WAY TO
 DIES MONIES TODAY
J. (. Mabray, the Alleged Foot and Horse Race SWind!er, Leaves to Face
 Charges in Iowa..

Little Rock, April 13.-Spend- ing almost two months in the Fed eral jail, J. C. Mabray is again outside today, but he is still in custody, being on his way back to Iowa to face the courts there on various charges. He is in GUS tody of Deputy Marshals Guy w. Cron and John BurriS who have taken upon themselves the task of safely delivering him to the United States Marshal at Des MOines, who will remove him to Council Bluffs. when he is wanted there for trial.
 Mabray left in the same good spirits which have characterized his department ever since he was incarcerated. He showed a re- luctance to leave Montie, Mccall and l. J. Warner the two men with whom he was arrested, be- hind, but a little thing like that would not show in his demeanor Mccall and Warner displayed more feeling over the parting, and during the day have showed in many ways how much they missed his companionship He has acted all along as the life of the colony on the third floor of the jail and the mountaineers there miss him as much as Clark and Warner for every day Ma bray would send out for cream puffs and pies, things they never knew of before getting in bad with Uncle sam for selling liquor CT manufacturing it without first paying the government taxes. Mabray was the whole show Ii the dal'y minstrel perGorman : too. and with them, Clark and Ma bray cannot fill the bill.
 l Mabray will reach Des Moines tomorrow, unless some miSfor- tune overtakes the travellers He says he has no fear of the charges which face him there, as the evil dence is weak, and he is mot gull ty. Mabray has maintained his l iiiiicNobNN C'Ni ciIAN pSliiE BUl III the jail, and when, put under oath refused to answer any ques- tions at all
 The departure of Mabray leaves only Montie Mccall, alias F. NJ. Clarke, and J. J. Warner, the two men with Mabray when the al- legged swindlers were placed un- der arrest in jail here. though J. C. Johnson and Henry Stock well the jockey are out on bond Watner and Mccall are held as government prisoners, while the other two are wanted only on in- dictments returned by the State courts. A demurrer in the Feder- [ al charges against Warner and Mccall should be argued today. l Mabray and his associates were i arrested here February 22, and for several weeks the capture was all the talk in this section of the country. They are accus- ed of running fake horse and foot races and conducting also fake wrestling and boxing mat ches in New Orleans, Council Bluffs and Little Rock.
