EXPECTED TO KEEP
WEDDING A SECRET
Had No Idea 1t Would
Leak Out So Soon,"
Bride Declares.

With their plans for the future un-
announced, Mr.. and Mrs Lorimer C.
Graham, the latter until yesterday aft
ernoon Miss Elsa b. Portner, are at
their respective homes in this city to-
day, while friends of the two families
are supprcssing surprise over the elope-
ment.
A member of the brides family, with
a somewhat fearful tremor in her voice,
admitted today that Miss Portner had
been married. The ceremony took place
yesterday afternoon at the Cathedral in
Baltimore. Upon their return to this
city last night Mrs. GOham went to
the Portner residence, 1873 New Hamp-
shire avenue, and, for a time, denied
reports of the marriage. The husband
supposedly went to his apartments.
Yes, it's true they're married." said
an elder sister OF the bride today.
Elsa hasn't said what her plans are"
Last night Mrs. Graham indicated
that she would go Immediately to Lake
wood, y. j., where Mrs. Portner, her
mother. has been recuperating for sew
cral weeks. Mrs. Graham declared that
she had no idea the news OF her mar
riage would leak out so quickly" else
she might have hesitated to take the
step.
The bride is one of the seasons debu-
tantes, and is scarcely twenty years
old. 1t is understood that her family
objected to the marriage. hence the
sudden decision TO go TO Baltimore to
wed.
An effort was made to keep the mar
rage a secret, but II became known
when the Rev. =. G. Gavan. who per-
formed the ceremony. was questioned.
Mrs. Graham gave no reason for her
mothers objection to the match.
The bride has spent some time recent
ly with Mrs. Portner at Lakewood
She returned to Washington about two
weeks ago.
Mr.. Graham is vice president of the
Andrew b. Graham Company of this
city. Mrs. Graham is the daughter OF
the late Robert Portner. who was own
cr of the Portner Brewing Company
Of Alexandria, and a man of consider
able means. Miss PoTtner was pre-
sented to Washington society only this
season.

MABEL HITE SEEN
IN JUMBLE OF FUN
Successful Opening "A Party" at the Belasco
Theater Last Night o ives Much to the Per-
sonal Magnetism of the Star.

There may be some things in the
world, as Mabel Hite says that are
lust as popular as a Protestant Mick
peddling oranges on St. Patrick's Day."
but the three course" musical menu
which she set before her big audience
last night, when "a Certain Party" was
introduced at the Belasco, isn't one of
these.
Nor was 1t because Miss Hite has lots
and lots of friends in Washington who
remember her clever little vaudeville
skits. that practically the real tryout
of her show made hit The audience
fully appreciated the bright lines with
which "A Certain Party abOunds. and

stage speech of thank you"

Apd If Miss Hite worked hard to
please, so did. her entire company,
manv members of which have been re-
cruited from Marriage a la Carte"
When the cast was finishing the sec
ond musical course" of the menu with
whirIwind operatic burlesque, the
musical director waxed so enthusiastic
that he just smashed the little stick
with which he was beating time all 10
bits, and it wasn't intended to be part
OF the show, either.
In the company is Mike DOnlin. Mike
used to decorate the diamond in big
league, before Miss Hite married him
and proselyted him into the drama, TAX
ing from the New York Giants one of
their stars. But Miss Hite doesn't, let
anybody forget that her Michael was

sings called, You're Going Ia LOoose

The Vote on the Pension Bill.

A scrutiny OF the vote on the Sher-
wood dollar a day service pension bill
in the House shows that "a Democrats
voted against it, Democrats answered
present and 81 Democrats were re-
corded as mot voting" Eight Republi-
cans voted against the bill and % were
recorded as mot voting" There are
800 Democrats In the House at present
and 1850 Republicans, there being one
vacancy in Republican district, the
seventh Kansas, owing to the death of
Judge Edmond H. Madison. 1t follows
that the vote for the Sherwood bill,
introduced by Democrat, consisted of
1877 Republicans and l02 Democrats; so
that 1913 per cent. of the Republicans
declared for maximum annual increase
of expenditures for pensions estimated
by Secretary Fisher at 1851 $50; and
44.3 per cent. of the Democrats voted
with them.
As the Democrats are in majority
in the House they are technically re-
sponsibIe for the pension grab as it
stands. They cannot look it in the face
as party without confessing that as
clamorous advocates of economy they
have stultifled themselves. But how can
the Republicans in the House point the
finger of scorn when they supplied most
of the votes for the pension billg Ger
tainly they could not make any capital
out of the matter in O national cam
paign. If the Senate r@sses the bill,
Mr.. Taft viii have an opportunity to
prove his concern for economy, which is
one of his special policies, by vetoing
the Sherwood imposture. He would have
the people with him and would rise per-
ceptibly in public esrimation.-New York
