Philadelphia, -Chsracterizing the
Drexel-G Gould wedding as "vulgar
and sensational" event, the Rev. DR..
George Chalmers Richmond in his
sermon in st. Johns Episcopa church,
pointed out the lessons he thought
should be drawn from the circum-
stances
"What an swfnl sight that was he
said.
"The bride was girl who is un-
known in our great world of moral up
building and reform, girl who inner
its wealth largely made by a grand
father whose methods would net be
countenaneed in these days of finer
moral visien and larger human SYM
pathies; a girl who has nothing to
boast of except this money.
"She was married to youth who
, has never helped any social, religious or
moral movement Of his city in any eX-
ceptional degree, as is expected of one
whose inheritance along financial lines
calls especial attention to his power.
"Such wedding should have been
celebrated quietly after the divorce
court proceedings which have recently
brought disgrace to the whole Gould
family.
$50 far as the Drexel family is con-
cerned, we never hear of them doing
anything to helped our political or So
cisl life out of its disgraceful condition
These people are not eur great citizens.
They are the remnants of an old order
OF industrial prosperity; they are our
social idlers; they can give dinner
parties and yachting jaunts, but their
moral and spiritual output is of little
value In the upbuilding of our civic
| life"

Flight Orer Lords.

London. Jan. 31.-No official announce
nent OF Cabinet changes is expected un-
til Premier Asquith returns from his
holiday from the Continent, but well in
formed men on the Liberal side believe
that the appointments will be distributed
as follows: Augustine BirreN, Chief
Secretary for Ireland. TO be Secretary for
the Home Department. in place of II. J.
Gladstone. who has been appointed Gov

rank.

Washington, Jan. 31.-An investigation of
the cause of the high cost of living, ma
tional i'll its scope. has been determined
upon by the Republican leaders in Con-
gress. The Ways and Means Committee,
comprising the most experienced and
capable legislators in the lower body, has
been selected to conduct the investigation.
and it will be begun without delay.
At meeting of the committee this morn
ing, after each member had contributed his
mite to an experience meeting the sub
ject Of tyrant butchers and avaricious gro
GERS, Representative Longworth moved that
an investigation be instituted by the COM
mittee- The motion was unanimously
adopted, and on motion OF Representative
Boutell, Representatives Senero E. Payne
and Champ Clark were selected TO prepare
a resolution which will be reported by the
committee and presented to the House for
consideration.
While these two Representatives have
not yet had a consultation, there is little
variance in their views to what would
constitute a thorough investigation. It is
agreed that the committee shall be en-
powered to hold hearings in all parts OF
the country. TO summon any witnesses who
it is believed can give valuable Testimony,
there NAV be no unnecessary delay, it is
the purpose of the committee to take 1t
for granted that the cost of living is high
er than it should be and to begin at once
an effort to determine the causes
Representatives Payne and Clark Will
hold a conference tomorrow. and expect
to have the resolution before the close of
the week.
Representative Clark is inclined to the be-
lief that the railroads and the trusts are in
a combination. Representative Harrison
declares that the tariff has much TO do with
it Representative Payne cites the law of
supply and demand while practically every
member offers a different solution OF the
problem. The resolution will contatin a
provision authorizing the organization OF
subcomuittees. so that various phases Of

ously. in order that comprehensive re-
port may be made at this session of Con-
