flower girls, her sister, Anna Calame, and
Thelma Therkildson Both wore dainty
frocks of white muslin with pink sashes
and hair ribbons and carried baskets filed
with pink carnations.

F. Therkildson, who advanced with him
to the altar, where they met the bride
with her father, who gave her in mar
rage.
The bridal costume, white with the
cloudy wells, is especially becoming to
Miss Calame, who is a decided blonde.

injured with point lace and seed pearls,
and her tulle veil was confined with a
wreath of valley lilies. She carried a
bridal bouquet of white roses with val
ley lilies.
The Rev. Raimundo de OWES performed
the ceremony.
The marriage was followed by an infor-
NAL reception, which was attended by a
number of the friends of the young peo-
pie. Coffee was served in the drawing
room with sandwiches, and in the library
Miss Hazel Dooley and Miss Christlieb
poured punch. Ices in the form of hearts
and cake embossed with the initials of the
bride and groom were served in the dining
room. The table was particularly pretty
with its chrysanthemum centerpiece and
tulles draperies.

expect to be away two weeks, after
which they will return to make Birming-

WARSHIP RESCUES
STRANDED SAILORS
NINE SEAMEN AND CAPTAIN
ARE SAVED
Fishing Schooner Aground on Dunge-

to Be Responsible

PORT TOWNSEND, Wash, Nov l..
Nine men and the captain of the fish
ing schooner Deeahks, aground on
Dungeness Spit, in the Strait of Juan
de Fuca, were rescued today by the
life-saying crew of the United states
revenue cutter Snohomish. The schoon-
er grounded yesterday within 800 yards
OF the Dungeness lighthouse.
Captain Larson asserted the ineffi-
cheney or righteousness of his helms
man caused the mishap. Six men of
the command who escaped to shore in
O. dory, he said, refused to return to
give aid to their companions aboard
the vessel when it was in danger of go
ing to pieces
Storm freaks of unusual character
are reported by Capt. Charles Sautz of
the American schooner Taurus, in a
statement made today to the hydro
graphic office here, covering expert
ences of October q while fighting
gales, bound to Puget Sound from
Mexico. Captain Sautz asserts the
velocity of the gale was $50 miles an
hour with every feature of a cyclone
and was so terrific gulls We're dashed
against the waves and killed by scores.
For sixteen hours the schooner floun-
dered without steerage way or ability
to renew canvas that had been de-
stroyed by the blasts which began the

TRAINS RUN RACE FROM
PUGET SOUND TO GOTHAM
Special Enters Contest Against North
ern Pacific Regular to Continue
Oceanic Competition

TACOMA, Nov. with right OF
way over all other trains, Chicago.
Milwaukee & Puget Sound special train
left last night with $3900O0 worth OF
silk for New York delivery, and the
officers hope to beat to the eastern
market a Northern Pacific train that
left Seattle twenty-one hours earlier
with silk worth $360.0OO. This is con-
tinuatioa of the race between the Blue
Funnel liner Oanfa and the Milwaukee
steamer Tacoma Maru.
The Oanfa arrived here Saturday
and the Tacoma Maru came in yes
terday. Though the Northern Pacific
has good lead, the Milwaukee, by
sidetracking everything else, hopes to
win the long race.
The Oanfa arrived at p. m. Satur-
day. and at 1920 the train started. The
Tacoma Maru beat this time, as its
82S bales of silk were discharged and
reloaded and the train was off in two
hours.
If the Milwaukee wins 1t expects to
be able to have routed over its new
transcontinental and steamship route a
large amount of silk that has hereto
fore been carried by its rival.

TURKISH NAVY TO BE
SOLD FOR SCRAP IRON
ONE-HALF OF OTTOMAN WAR
SHIPS TO BE DESTROYED
Dealers in Junk Throughout World
Are Asked to Bid for Five Bat
tleships No Longer of
Utility

WASHINGTON Nov. 1.-American
iron and steel manufacturers have re-
ceiyed requests from the Turkish gov
eminent to submit offers on one Of the
most notable piles of scrap iron ever
put UP for sale, nearly one-half OF the
Ottoman navy, as 1t appears on paper.
November IL bids will be received
by the porte for the sale of five battle
ships Their construction made Turkey
the third naval power in the world:
their destruction at a time when that
country nears the bottom of the list
of naval powers is a step by the new
regime to regain the empires lost pres
tige. New ships will take the places
of the discarded ones.
The battleships offered for sale are
the Azibiehe, the Mahmudieh, the Os-
manieh, the Orkanieh and the
Hamadieh. The first four were con-
structed in England in 1864 and 1865,
while the Hamadieh was not launched
until 1885. The ships are of one type,
being of 6400 tons displacement and
bearing ten-inch armor. They carry
six-inch guns and have a speed of four
teen knots an hour.
Sir Richard Gamble of the British
navy. together with a number of sub
ordinate English officers, is now en-
gagged in reorganiZing the Turkish
navy. They have decreed that the
policy of pretense must end, and at
the same time the names of the five
vessels are stricken from the list OF
battleships as ineffective and will be
sold to the highest bidder in junk.
Dealers throughout the world have
been invited to bid for them.

Miles an Hour

WASHINGTON, Nov. mo ane-
mometer could stand a pressure much
greater than that imposed upon the
instruments of the Philippine weather
bureau in the typhoon which swept
over the islands last week, when, ac-
cording to the cable advices, the wind
reached velocity of 1876 miles an hour.
The record wind velocities in this
country were made in a West Indian
cyclone which struck Cape Hatteras
in 1899, when the thermometer record

for the same space of time the in

TAFT APPROVES
LIFE ON FARM
PRESIDENT URGES YOUNG MEN
TO STAY IN COUNTRY
-
CLAIMS AeRIcuLTuRIsT is MOST
INDEPENDENT
Chief Executive Says There is More
Opportunity for Youths in Crow
ing Crops Than In Trying
City Life
fBy Associated Press. ]

JACKSON, Miss, Nov. president
Taft would have young men of Amer
lea stay on the farm with its plenty
and certainty rather than decide on a
life in the city. Mr.. Taft indicated his
sentiments in this respect in an adj
dress at the state fair here today.
1--WE must admit" he said, 1.-THE occu-
patton of the farmer is among one Or
two of the most Independent occupa
tions that go to make this country
great-and a state which is great be
cause of it is entitled to recognition as
IMPLYING Americanism in the highest
degree.
I'VE have arrived at a time in the
development of this country and the
world when old methods of agriculture
must be discarded, If we would keep
up with the procession. Land is be-
coming too valuable to treat 1t in the
old wasteful way. I am glad to note
that Mississippi has one of the best
agricultural institutions in the country.
Young Farmers Restrained
Here you have something to re-
strain that tendency of our young men
to come into the cities and live in ten
ements in order that they may be
where the wheels go round. If We're
advising a young man as to his flu
ture profession 1 should say to him
there probably was greater opportunity
for real reward in the profession of
agriculture than in any other"
The president lunched with Gov
ernor and Mrs. Noel and met many
distinguished citizens of the state.
This evening the president was guest
of honor at a dinner, for which viands,
cooks and walters were brought on a
special car from Chicago.
President Taft left at midnights for
Columbus, Miss, birthplace of Secre-
tary Dickinson. He will pass three
hours there and will reach Birming-
ham at 1880 o'clock tomorrow evening

CHIEF JUSTICE STRIKES
PAPERS FROM RECORDS
Claims Documents of Such Scandal
GUS Nature as Not to Be Worthy
of Consideration

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-Chief JUS
tice Fuller today created a mild SEN
sation in the supreme court by an
nouncing that papers in the case of
the Yellow Poplar Lumber company
VS.. S. F. Chapman would be stricken
from the records Of the court because
of their ''scandalous nature"
The controversy involves lumber
deal in Virginia. The court of appeals
decided in favor of Chapman, and in
it's petition the company asks a re-
view on various grounds, one of which
is stated as follows:
1.-THE opinion of the court of appeals
is so grotesque in its conclusions OF
law and prepared with so little care
and study as TO be almost unintelligible
even dramatically, not to say le-
gally"
The chief justice did not quote any
portion of the papers, but said they
were 80 impertlnent and improper
that they would be stricken from the
docket"

BRIDE TRIES TO
COMMIT SUICIDE
DRINKS CHL0R0F0RM AFTER
QUARREL WITH HUSBAND
ANGRY BECAUSE FORBIDDEN TO
ATTEND NICKEL SHOWS
Though Mrs. Beulah Casey Twenty
Years Old, Drank Two ounces
of Poison, She May
Recover

Because she was not allowed to at
tend moving picture shows as OFTEN
as she desired, was the reason given by
Mrs. Beulah Casey, 20 years old, for
attempting to commit suicide at her
home, 1856 Alta street, last night. De-
spite the fact that Mrs Casey drained
the contents of a two-ounce vial OF
chloroform, the surgeons at the recelV-
ing hospital stated she mad an eXcel-
lent chance of recovery.
Mrs. Casey recently became the bride
of Charles W. Casey, a well known
plumbing contractor, and that their
marital relations have not been pro-
ductive of domestic felicity, was the re-
luctant statement made by Mr.. Casey.
Saturday night Mrs. Casey attended
a moving picture show, and telephoned
her husband that she enjoyed the per-
Torrance and intended to witness an
other one.
According to the story, the husband
demonstrated with her, and stated that
the proper place for married woman
at night was her home.
Bride Becomes Angry
The young bride evidently became
angry and it is said that on her return
angry words were exchanged, with the
result that Mrs. Casey left her home
Sunday afternoon and did not return
Sunday night.
Yesterday afternoon Mr.. Casey re-
eeived a telephone message at his
place of business from his wife, who
explained that she had stopped at a
rooming house on North Main street,
Sunday night, but had returned to her
home.
Evidently the quarrel was continued
over the telephone, and when Casey
arrived at his house last night he did
rot see his wife, and on investigation
detected a strong odor of chloroform.
He found his wife unconscious in her
bedroom, and an empty vial, labeled
chloroform, told the story
Prompt work by the police surgeons
was all that saved the young woman's
life, and she was given in care of the
police matron and detained at police
headquarters last night.
Mr.. Casey was reticent in discussing
the case, but to the police surgeons he
stated his wife had been away from
her home at night time on several oc-
casions, and that he had rebuked her
for such actions, which evidently
prompted her to attempt suicide.
