TARRYTOWN, n. Y. January 21.-Miss
Helen Miller Gould and Finley j. Shep-
ard. whom she will marry tomorrow, re-
hearsed this afternoon their wedding in
the great drawing room at Lyndhurst
Miss Gould's country home. The Rev
Daniel Russell. pastor of the Irvington
Presbyterian Church, who will perform
the ceremony, prompted them in their
replies and instructed the attendants in
the roles which they are to play.
These included Louis J. Shepard, broth
er of the bridegroom-to-be. as best man,
and Miss Gould's little nieces, Helen and
Dorothy, daughters of Frank Gould, who
will be flower girls. The two children
will be the brides only attendants The
wedding party reached here this after
noon by automobile.
Rich Wedding Gifts.
A stream of messengers bearing we'd
ding presents from every part of the
country poured through the grounds Of
Miss Gould's estate today. Gifts came
from wealthy friends of the bride-elect,
from friends on the Bowery and the East
Side for whom she has done much in the
past, from the army, the navy. railroad
organizations and individuals the forld
over.
Among the gifts were handsome rope
of pearls from George j. Gould. a cor
sage ornament of diamonds from Frank
Gould and set of tapestries from Edwin
Gould. Howard Gould. it is said, has
given his sister a rare art treasure.
which he purchased recently in Paris.
License Not Yet Issued.
The wedding guests have been restrict
ed to members of both families and few
friends. Not more than seventy-five per-
sons will witness the ceremony. Most of
these will come from New York tomorrow
by special train. The ceremony will take
place at 1890 o'clock.
Miss Gould and her flance had not
taken out their marriage license early
this afternoon. Robert Eastwood. clerk
of the town of Greenburg. awaited in his
Office a request from Miss Gould to come
to Lyndhurst and issue it there during
the afternoon. This could legally be done
and would relieve Miss Gould Of the Or
deal Of scrutiny by the curious who had
gathered outside the clerks Office.

NATIONAL NAVAL MILITIA
TO ACCOMPANY FLEET
Navy Department Considering
Plans for the Initial Trip
Through Panama Canal.

The Navy Department IS considering
plans to attach the naval militia to the
fleet which will make the initial trip
through the Panama canal The naval
militia on the Atlantic coast will go
through the big ditch in its own ships.
while the great lakes organizations will
form part Of the crews of the Atlantic
reserve fleet
That information has been communicat-
ed unofficially to officers Of the National
Naval Militia Association so that the ma
val militia will have sufficient time to ar
range for the trip. AS in the mobilization
last October, the naval militia will be en-
listed temporarily in the regular navy
and will be discharged at the conclusion
of the cruise.
While the program for the trip has not
yet been determined. 1T is probable that
the fleet will sail from New York. down
the Atlantic coast, proceeding to San
Francisco after going through the canal.
At San Francisco a grand review and
sufficient shore leave to give officers and
crews Of all ships an opportunity to see
the exposition grounds will be features
of the expedition.
More Vessels Recommended.
With a view to strengthening the naval
militia organizations on the great axes
the Navy Department has recommended
more training vessels of modern con-
st.uctiOn for the sailors of the inland
seas and a plan is being worked out for
the establishment of a school Of instruc-

Wants Family Excused.

Perhaps I did not make it clear in
my letter. said Mr.. Wilson, but
meant simply that the ladies should not
be expected to stand in line and shake
hands,
The governor said that while he him.
self did not fear the strain Of the hand
shaking ordeal, he thought his family
should be excused.
The governor took occasion to deny
published reports that he and Mrs. VIII
son had favored the abandonment of the
inaugural ball because of the possibility
that the dancers might indulge in the
turkey trot'' and similar dances. He
said he had opposed the idea Of an in
augural ball chiefly because Of the in
direct expense to the government.

of the District, did not make recon-
mendation to the President, and the
understanding is that he has been adj
vised by high democratic authority that
the nominations. as made by President
Taft, would not be confirmed. and that
he could make his recommendations
after March to democratic Prest-
dent.
The talk for long time has been that
the democratic factions viii propose that
two democrats be named as Commission
ers. Mr.. Costello has not opposed Capt.
Oyster. 1t Is said, but has leaned toward
some one else as the democratic choice
for Commissioner.
Highly Regarded by omcials.
Maj. Harding. who is to succeed Col
JudsOn in the event that Messrs. Rudolph
and Oyster are confirmed. is highly re-
garded by the War Department and by
Col. Goethals. the engineer army officer
who has been in charge Of the construc-
tion Of the canal.
Col. Goethals told President Taft that
he would not like to part with Mai
Harding although admitting that he Is
an able man and ought to make good
Engineer Commissioner. Maj. Harding
understands the work of the District
building. 1t was mainly because of his
former experience here that the Presi-
dent directed his transfer.
That the President has made the trans
fer Of Maj. Harding contingent upon the
confirmation of Messrs. Rudolph and
Oyster means that in case there is fall
ure to confirm Col Judson will stay
where he is. and that his continuation in
that position will depend upon the in
coming administration.
Some of Col. Judson's friends have
printed articles saying that he is a dem
Ocrat and that efforts will be made to
retain him as democrat. If this plan
should work out and the democrats of
the District are able to have two civil
ian democrats named as Commissioners
all three Commissioners would belong to
