WEDDING SOL LEMN|ZED TO-DAY
Another Case OF American Dollars
And Foreign TitIe-Father OF
Bride Opposed To Al.
lance.

New York May 10.-TWo million
dollars is reported to be the dot
that goes with Miss Nora Iselin,
whose marriage to Count Colloredo
Mansfield is announced to take place
today at the Iselin country home at
New Rochelle.
No elaborate wedding marks this
latest union of American dollars and
a foreign title. On the contrary, 1t
has seemed to be the desire OF the
parties most concerned to avoid all
publicity in regard to the marriage
and the details of the wedding. Thls
extreme reticence is said to be due, III
part at least, to the early opposition
on the part of c.. Oliver Iselin to his
daughter's choice of husband. The
well-known banker and yachtsman is
understood to entertain a strong dis
like for international matrimonial al
liances, particularly where a member
of his own family is concerned. But
the determination of his wife and
daughter won the day, and after a
personal interview with his prospec-
. tive son-in-law, in which the latter
made a most favorable impression,
Mr.. Iselin gave his consent for the
marriage to take place.
Miss Iselin and Count Colloredo
Mansfield met for the first time last
year, when Mr.. Iselin and his family
3, were in Rome. They became engaged
: to be married before Miss Iselin re-
! turned to New York, and the marriage
;, would have occurred earlier had not
Mr. Iselin been opposed to his daugh-
Z ter's marriage to a foreigner.
The count is secretary of the Aus
xtrian embassy at Rome, and is said to
: belong to a highly distinguished fam
sly. His mother is the sister of Baron
..Aehrenthal, Austrian minister for for
leign affairs, who melted the seizure OF
Bosnia and Herzegovina, and sc
threatened the peace of Europe. The
family own a castle near AqulleJa
which was built in 1902. The head OF
the house is Prince Joseph, who mar
ried twice, but is childless.
BY marrying Miss Iselin the count
allies himself with one Of the frs
families of New York. For many year:
the Ise1ins have been prominent il
finance, in business and in the socia
life of the metropolis. The head o
the family was Adrian Iselin, wh'
died four years ago. His father wa
. "a Swiss capitalist, who came to thi
country from Basle, Switzerland, ear
1y in the last century as a represent
ative of the silk and glove industrie
OF Lyons.

PORTO RICO PENNILESS.
President Taft Today Sends Special
Message to Congress.

Washington, d. c., May 10.-Presi-
dent Taft sent a special message to
Congress today concerning Porto Rico.
AS the legislative assembly of Porto
Rico adjourned without passing ap-
preparation bills and, therefore, after
June 80, the government will have no
available money to run Porto Rico
machinery.
The situation is a grave one for the
island.
1t is said the house of delegates
held up the appropriation bill, in Or
der to force concessions from the ex-
ecutive council.
Representatives OF both branches OF
the island government have been in
Washington for some time.
The President in his special mes
sage recommends to Congress to pass
law making available in such emer-
gencies as have arisen funds from cur
rent revenue

POLITICS AND POLITICIANS.

J. C. w. Beckham, former governor
in Frankfort.
On the national woman suffrage pc
tition the name Of Governor Warner
of Michigan, heads the list from that
state.
The old report that United States
Senator Aldrich, of Rhode Island, is
to retire at the expiration of his term,
March 8, 1911, has been revived.
Governor Hoke Smith, of Georgia,
will resume the practice of law when
he retires from Office as chief execu-
tive of the state next month.
Secretary Nagel, at the request of
President Taft, will represent the ad-
ministration at the Virginia State Re
publican convention to be held July
28.
Ex-Gov. James K vardaman, of
Mississippi, announces that he will
again be candidate for United States
senator in the primaries which will
be held in his state in 1911.
Don C. Mcmillan, of Tampa, who
fathered the prohibition bill in the
Florida senate, is now talked of as
the probable candidate for governor
of that state on the prohibition ticket.
Ex-Gov. w. M. Dawson, of West
Virginia, is understood to have de-
clined foreign appointment from
President Taft in order to remain at
home and continue to take leading
part in the direction OF the Republi-
can party affairs in his state.
Governor John A. johnson, of Min
nesota, is expected to enter the soma
torial race to contest for the seat now
occupied by Senator Clapp. The term
of Mr.. Clapp expires March 8, 1911,
and his successor will be elected by
the legislature sitting in 1910.
Because John Kelly IN early life
was member of the House of Repre-
sentatives for New York city certain
friends of Charles F. Murphy, Tam
many's chieftain, have remarked that
it would be a good thing to elect Mr..
Murphy to Congress a year from next
fall.
William F. Sylla has just commenc-
I'd his thirty-ffth consecutive year as
city clerk of Elgin, I'll. His success
in politics is attributed to his pecu-
liar methods of campaigning He is
said to know more people than any
body else in Elgin, and in the cleo
tions of recent years hsshas had prac
tically no opposition.
While it now looks as though Unit
ed States Senator Isador Rayner, OF
Maryland, will have no competition in
the Democratic primaries for renomi-
nation. the honor will be costly. TIC
comply with the new primary senate
rial election law, he must bear the en-
tire expense of holding the primaries
which it is estimated will amount tc
about $4,000.

100000 IN WASHINGTON
Former Resident of Wilmington
Charged With Wholesale
Frauds.

John c. Davis, who was prominently
connected with the Fifth Street M. E.
Church in Wilmington in 1890. and
who afterwards served a sentence in
the Raleigh asylum as a result of en-
bezzling about $4,000 of the church's
money, was arrested in Washington.
d. c., Saturday, charged with receiv-
ing 100000 by fraudulent means.
Sunday Wilmington Star gives the
following account of the arrest of
Davis:
The arrest Of John C. Davis in
Washington yesterday was received
with much interest here by those who
followed current events about the
year 1890 in this city. He was a mem
Der of the bar here before that time
and was known as a man of great
benefactions until suddenly it devel-
oped one day that all his operations
had been carried On with other peo-
2le's money in much the same way as
le seems to have operated in Wash
ngton, widows and administrators of
states being his chief victims. He
argely built Fifth Street M. E. Church
and installed there costly set of
hines, which were later taken out,
he congregation, however, assuming
The other church debt and having
struggled until only a few years age
under it's burden He was arrested
and tried in the Superior Court on the
charge of fraud, and it is estimated
that the money involved was some
thing like $4,000 or $4,000, The de-
Tense in court was insanity and this
was sustained, Davis being committed
to an asylum in Raleigh, where he
remained from May "a, 1892, to No
vember 80, 1897, period of five years
during which he escaped twice, but
was later discharged as cured, when
he took up his residence in Washing
ton. He was thirty-two years of age
at that time. Recently those who suf-
fered by Davis operations here have
been receiving checks for various
amounts from time to time, accompa-
MED by. personal letters in which he
stated that he was doing well in
Washington and hoped to pay every
cent he owed The source of his in
come was not hinted at until the no
tice of his arrest reached here yester-
day. The outcome of his case in
Washington will be waited with in
terest by many people in Wilmington.
