ANITA STEWART
MARRIES PRINCE
NOTED AUSTRIAN N0BLEMAN
WE'D AT DINGWALL
BEAUTIFUL CEREMONY OCCURS
AT HIGH NOON
Descendants of Clans in Days of Mary,
Queen of Scots, Compose Con-
greeation Where Wedding
Takes Place
tBy Associated Press. ]

DINGWALL, Scotland, Sept. 15.-Un-
der a bower of evergreen and SmllaX,
Miss Anita Stewart, daughter of Mrs.
James Henry Smith of New York, be-
came the bride of Prince Miguel of
Braganza at noon today in the Roman
Catholic chapel of ST. Lawrence.
The congregation of this church Is
made up of descendants of the clans
that belonged to the faith in the days
of Mary, queen of Scots.
The chapel was beautifully decorated
in ruby and blue, associated for gen.
erations with the house of Braganza.
The avenue leading from Tulloch cas-
tie was gay with American, Austrian
and Portuguese flags.
The arch at the end of the avenue
bore the words in English, Long Life
and Happiness to the Prince and
Princess"
The bride was accompanied by her
mother and brother, w. r. Stewart, jr.,
who gave the bride away. Prince
Miguel was supported by his younger
brother, Prince Francis Joseph.
Bishop Chisholm of Aberdeen offi-
ciated.
The ceremony was followed by the
celebration of low mass, after which
the bishop pronounced the pope's
blessing, and a general benedicton.
The music was rendered by the
choiristers of the chapel accompanied
by the band of the Seaforth High
landers.
Brides Robes
The bride wore a dress of white chif-
fon over soft satin. A veil of old lace
was worn over a wreath of orange
blossoms and heather, fastened with
large feather of diamonds and sap
phires which had been in the Braganza
family for centuries. This was a
present of the bridegroom.
The only other jewels worn by the
bride were a set of combs with dia-
mond heads, a gift Of the Archduchess
Maria Theresa.
The prince was clad in Maltese uni
form, a brilliant scarlet court dress,
heavily decorated with gold.
The ceremony was witnessed only by
relatives of the bride and groom, and
their immediate friends These In
cluded the Duke and Duchess of Bra
ganza, the groom's father and step
mother.
At the conclusion of the wedding
ceremony the register was signed by
the witness for the bride, Mrs. Drexel,
and Rhinelander Stewart. AS the we'd
ding party drove away the band OF the
Seaforth Highlanders played in turn the
"Star Spangled Banner" and the ma
tional anthem of Austria.
A member of the Braganza family de-
clared today that the statement that
Prince Miguel had renounced his claim
to the throne of Portugal was erron-
eors. He explained that under the
Portuguese law there was no such thing
as a morganatic marriage. The only
conditions necessary to legalize mar
riage with a member of the Braganza
family are the consent of the head Of
the house of Braganza and that the
bride be a Roman Catholic.

cations.
"This Is gross injustice and is vio-
lation Of the spirit of the fifteenth
amendment. 1t ought to be voted down
by every one, Democrat or Republican,
who Is in favor of square deal"

SPEEDERS GIVEN SLIDING
SCALE ON NORTH SHORE
Trustees of KeniIWorth, Near Chicago,
Demand Big Pay for More than
Twenty Miles an Hour

CHICAGO, Sept. ia sliding scale
of penalization for automobile speeders
was made effective today by the board
OF trustees of Kenilworth, north
shore suburb.
Hereafter any motorist who drives
his car through Kenilworth faster than
twenty miles an hour and slower than
twenty-five miles an hour will be
fined a dollar mile; that is, he Will be
fined S22 for running twenty-five miles
an hour, for example. If the speed is
between twenty-five and thirty miles
the fine will be so a mile. Above thirty
miles the minimum fine will be 800.

of St0O for speed over thirty miles an
hour has been fixed.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 15.-The
Roosevelt riding test for the officers OF

This, in substance, is the severe crit

There are many very efficient and
valuable field officers" he says, who
should never in any circumstances be

PUBLIC TROUGHS FOR

PRACTICE SCORED BY MIS-
S0URPS veterinarian
Horse Doctor Says Common Use of
Water Tanks Spreads Scourqe
Among AnimaIs-opInIon
Supported

CHICAGO, Sept. 1O.-Public water
troughs for horses were condemned by
the state veterinarian of Missouri, DIR.
F. D. Luckey, and by DR.. Schoenloben
of Kansas at yesterdays session of
the Interstate Association of Live Stock
Sanitary boards.
DIR. Schoenleben read a paper on
Chambers" in which, after detailing
methods of control and of diagnosis of
that scourge of horses, he attacked the
public watering trough as the great
disseminator of the disease.
He also asserted that glanders is
communicable from horses to men, and
is a fatal disease to human beings.
DR.. j. M. Wright, state veterinarian
of Illinois, differed concerning the pub
lie watering trough.
Necessary Evil?
He asserted the public watering
trough was a public necessity, and if
an evil, necessary ore. 1t was in no
way a spreaC-~ of disease, he said, If
the water in it were kept running.
DIR. Ward of Minneapolis answered
DR.. Wright in a series of statements
concerning the public trough.
Dr. Luckey delivered the closing
words on the subject. In Massachusetts,,
he said, the public watering trough
was responsible for the infliction of
CHAMBERS upon horses to the extent of
a thousand head annually.
DR.. Luckey supported his argument
with statistics of different states and
with other evidence in opposition to the
assertion of DR.. Wright that running
water disinfected a trough.

Party Splits.

New England republican newspapers.

with privilege and the powers which
put the Aldrich Payne tariff bill
through congress, are obviously tick
led over the statement of a southern
democratic paper which expresses pes
simistic ideas about the future of
democracy, saying there is likelihood
of split among the democrats.
Taken i'm its entirety. the democratic
party was never better organized for
True there have been traitors in the
ranks There were traitors in con-
gress But most of them have been
spotted and discountenanced. The
spontaneity and determination with
which they have been repudiated has
added to the strength of the party,
because it is another impressive Illus
tration of its sincerity.
As compared with the alleged split"
in the democratic party, that very
visible split in the republican ranks
looks big enough TO engulf the whole
republican party seated on elephants.
Does any one suppose for a moment
that the followers of Beveridge of In

the Aldrich Payne Cannon triumv;r-
ate?
Does any one think La Toilette of
Wisconsin is without a following?
Are Cummins and Dolliver without

Is Bristow of Kansas standing

Republicans throughout the nation

the situation. The fight has just be-

These principles will win sweeping

LETTER CARRIERS MUST
DOUBLE UP ON WORK
Postmaster General Hitchcock Plans
to Save Government $25O,OOO
i'm Vacation Season.

Washington, d. c., Aug 19.-By re-
quiring letter carriers to double up
their routes during the dull season of
July and August, instead of employing
substitutes. Postmaster General Hitch
cock expects to save the government
not less than $250,00O in the cost Vt
carriers vacations during the present
fiscal year.
Postoffice employees are allowed by
law Is days leave of absence with pay
each year.
II has been the general practice for
many years to supply substitute for
every day letter carrier was on leave
of absence As there are 10000 car
riers in the service, and at the cost
of substitute service for the Is days
and two Sundays allowed the carrier
for his vacation is about $40, the ac-
tual cost of the carriers vacation is a
little more than S1,000,000.
During July and August the volume
of mail in the large cities especially
is considerably reduced. enabling ca:-
riers to double up so that in some
instances during these months two
carriers serve three routes This en-
ables the third carrier to take his va
cation without expense TO the govern
ment.
