DAUGHTER OF NOTED YACHT
OWNER MARRIED
Settlement is Made Which Proves
Satisfactory to NobIeman Who
Sought Hand of Miss
Nora Iselin

NEW YORK, May 13.-Miss Nora 1se-
lin and Count Colloredo Mannsfeld, who
were married in New York Monday
despite Dame Rumor's tattling to the
effect disagreements regarding the
amount to be settled on the bride would
probably cause a postponement OF the
event, are on their honeymoon, happy
and contented, apparently.
1t was understood that the hitch was
that the father had baked at settling
81, ,OOO, 900 on the bridegroom. This, of
course, was rumor.
When the young couple called on
Mgr. Lavelle at ST. Patricks cathedral
to arrange for the marriage, they both
denied that there was any foundation
for the reports that the wedding would
be delayed The floral decorations In
the Iselin town house in preparation for
the wedding were unique in the fact
that all the flowers were fruit blossoms
The drawing rooms, halls and dining
room resembled a vast apple orchard,
SO profuse was the arrangement OF BIOS
som laden apple boughs.

SAYS ADMIRAL
BARTON OUT OF
NAVAL BUREAU
ATTORNEY GENERAL RENDERS
ADVERSE OPINION
DECLARES POSITION OF CHIEF
Is VACANT
Officer, Retired by Board of Medical
Survey of Navy, compusorily
Vacated Office of Head
Engineer
[Ry Associated Press.l

wv AsHINGTON, May 13-A de-
w cision of Attorney General
Wickersham, made public by
Secretary Myer today, apparently set
ties the controversy over the question
whether Rear Admiral John K. Barton
continues legally to hold the office of
chief of the naval bureau of steam en-
gineering.
The attorney general says in effect
that he does not, and that the post of
chief Of that bureau is vacant; that
the rear admiral, having been retired
by a board of medical survey OF the
navy, thereby vacated the office Of
engineer-in-c chief.
Chief Constructor Washington L.
Capps, following Rear Admiral Bar
toms retirement December % last, was
appointed to act as head of the bu-
reau, but this appointment, the at
torney general says, did not fall with
in the provision of section 179 of the
revised statutes, since the vacancy
was caused not by death, resignation,
absence or sickness, but by the COM
pulsory retirement of Admiral Bar
ton, and that the vacancy thus created
pursuant to law.
The designation Of Admiral Capps
by former Secretary Newberry was In
line with the latter's plan for the re-
organization of the navy, and was
intended only to be a temporary assign
ment.
The issue raised in Admiral Bar
toms case has been a fruitful topic of
discussion in naval circles. The desig-
nation Of Admiral Capps to act as
head of the bureau of steam engineer
ing revived to some extent the feel
ing between the officers of the line and
staff.
Since the advent of the new adminis-
tration Lieutenant Commander H. I.
Cone, engineer-in-chief of the Atlantic
fleet during his trip around the world,
was nominated for the office of chief
of the bureau of steam engineering,
but the nomination was held up by the
senate,

TWO OF SEVEN SUSPECTED
MURDERERS BREAK DOWN
Tell What They Know of Death of
Three Sheepmen Near Basin,
Wyoming

SHERIDAN Wyo., May 13.-The
state has complete confessions from
two of the seven prisoners confined in
the county Jail here in connection with
the murder of three sheepmen in raid
on their camp near Basin, Wyo., in the
Big Horn country, about six weeks
ago.
The officers refuse to divulge the
identity of the two men who broke
down, making confessions, but their
act in removing Albert E. Keyes and
Charles Ferris from the Jail at Basin
to this city, where they arrived yester-
day, is considered significant in view of
the statement that the safety of the
two men had been threatened by the
five other prisoners at Basin.
The suspects in the Basin Jail are
George Saban, M. A. Alexander, Her
bert Brink, Edward Eaton and Thomas
Dickson. All the men were recently
indicted by the grand jury in Big Horn
county on three counts each, charging
murder,

PLUMBERS TORCH CAUSES
EXPLOSION; EIGHT HURT
Building Partially Wrecked by Cas-
Followed by Fire Which De-
moIished Entire Structure

SACRAMENTO, May 13.-Gas accu-
mulating in a basement underneath
brick building at Third and l. streets
this morning was exploded by plumb
eris torch. The concussion partially
destroyed the building and fire com
pleted the work of destruction. Eight
persons were injured, three OF them
perhaps fatally.
Mrs. Sophia Heinrich, owner of the
building, burned and bruised, was res
cued from the building just in time to
save her from being incinerated.
Her son Albert was carried from the
second-story to the basement by the
collapse of the structure, but managed
to escape after a struggle.
Two Japanese scholars were blown
into the street, burned and their eyes
filled with broken glass. One of them
will probably die and the other will be

scenes in the chamber of deputies
Il today, when the government asked
for a vote of confidence on the attitude
assumed by it in the strike of the gov

mentary majority had encouraged
'syndicatism," and he pointed out that
the Swedish government had Just con-
cluded a five-year contract with the
employees of the state-controlled rail-
roads.
M. Combrouse, radical Republican,
virtually charged the Socialists with
being the tools of the reactionaries. He
declared specifically that M. Morel
owed his seat to the Duke d'Uzes. In
stantly the chamber was in an uproar.
NJ Morel tried in vain to make MS
voice heard above the clamor and M.

clasped his hat on his head as sign
that the session was closed.

Much Distress Reported

MARASH, Asiatic Turkey. Monday,
May 12.-Distressing accounts continue
to arrive here from the countryside of
Armenian villages assailed by bands
of Mohammedans who, acting on the
supposition that the Armenians were
rising against the government, were
quick to strike the first blow. Men
were killed whenever found within
reach of knife or bullet. The girls
were often maltreated and some of
them were carried off to become the
wives or slaves of rich men. Houses
were sacked and then burned, farm
animals were driven off and small
parties Of horsemen rode through the
country Cleaning up the Armenians"
The entire population of Brechkeuy,
1000 souls, moved to the Zeitoon re-
gion for safety. In other towns, nota-
bly, Yanksoun, where the Armenians
were we'll supplied with rifles, they
fought day and night and kept off the

EDITOR TO
EMBASSY AT GREECE
Especial TO The Herald

CONCORD, N. H., May 13.-President
Tafts appointment of George H. Moses,
editor of the Concord Evening Monitor,
to be minister to Greece is regarded by
some as a conciliatory move, inasmuch
as Mr.. Moses from first to last was a
Fairbanks man in the convention and
was high UP in the councils of the
"allies" He was Senator Gallinger's s
right hand man, and through the col
umns of his newspaper up to the open
ing of the convention he was an ardent
supporter of Mr.. Fairbanks. His ap-
pointment by President Taft, viewed
politically, is regarded as a step toward
placating the "allies."
