FORCE INDIGNITlES
ON NEWLYWEDS

HARRISONBURG, VA, Aug 26.-
From the adjoining county of PEN
dleton comes an unusual story. Viz
gil Calh GUN and Miss Mary Mullenax
and Jesse York and Miss Maud Smith
went to Elkton and were married by
Rev. r. Fl. Barron.
After the ceremony a score Of jolly
friends seized the couples and with a
large crowd following made them
ride through town on an old broken
down rickety wagon. Bailing wire
was used to tie the hands Of the two
brides and Mr.. York to the wagon
while the other groom. Mr.. Calhoun.
was forced to follow behind the
wagon pushing a baby carriage.
1t Is said that the grooms are MEM
bers OF the Loyal Order OF Moose and
that a number of brother Mooses are
responsible for the unusual recep-
ton.

May Be No Celebration.

May Be No Celebration.
No public meeting will be held to-
night in Fraternal hall, as planned,
for the purpose of making arrange
ments for the proposed celebration
which will be held on the opening of
the new free bridge. Chairman John
W. Moore. Of the South Richmond and
Chesterfield Business Mems club, said
last night that no arrangements had
been made with the chamber OF COM
merce for the celebration, and could
not be until some of the members OF
the committee OF which he Is chair
man come back to the city. great
many Of these members have been out
of the city for over a week. AS soon
as the mem ers of the committee get
quorum We will make arrangements
for the celebration" Mr.. Moore said.
From present indications it seems
as IL no celebration will be held. Not
as much interest has been manifested
in the scheme as the various organi-
cations thought when it was launched
and this is the cause of some doubt as
to whether there will be a celebration
of any kind. A celebration would
bring a large crowd to the bridge the
opening day, which is scheduled for
September LIST.
Unless the members OF the commit
tee get together and make arrange
ments with the chamber Of commerce
II Is doubted whether there Will be
celebration.
George Stein, who has put himself in
trouble with the Chesterfield county Of
fcers several times and was recently
put under a 800 bond for his good be-
haviour for twelve months after be-
ing arra.gned for beating hts wife. Is
again In the tolls.
Stein, who is about thirty eight years
old, lives In Swansboro, and County
Officer FARRELL went to his home yes
terday to bring him back to Richmond
for violating his bond and Beating his
wife Stein resisted Officer FARRELL and
q sharp encounter ensued. although
neither OF the men were hurt. Special
Officer Cosby assisted officer Jarreell
and the two officers brought Stein TO
the Southsrde handcuffed. Stein Is now

NO MONEY MONOPOLY,
SAYS Mr.. VANDERBILT
Defends lnterlocking Directorates at
Hearing on Pending Cur
rency Measure.
H. D. CANNON TO GIVE VIEWS

Frank 4. Nanderlip, president of the
National City Bank. OF New York. yes

Glass-Owen bill before the Senate Bank
ing and Currency Committee. In the
course OF his review OF the bill he denied
that there was a monopoly of money and
credit in New York. arranged and guided
with view TO preventing the financing
Of sound enterprises inimical to existing
major interests. Mr.. Vanderlip further
defended the existing system OF inter-
locking directorates among New York
banks. and claimed that the system did
not result in unfairness to borrowers, but
multiplied the institutions enjoying the
services as directors of the financial lead
ers.
Mr.. Vanderlip was preceded on the
stand at the afternoon session by Charles
W. Sweeney, president of the First Ma
tional Bank of Kansas City. Mo. who
pointed out minor deficiencies in the
reserve provision. Mr.. Sweeney an
nounCed his irrevocable opposition to the
institution of twelve regional banks. say
ing that for the Inauguration of the sys-
tenn. at least, five should be the maxi
mum.
A party OF Iowa bankers and business
men are in Washington. and among their
number is former Representative Daw-
son, of Davenport. They attended yes
terdays hearings, but only one appeared
as a witness. Nathaniel p. French,
merchant of Davenport, discussed the
rediscOunt provision OF the bill at some
length.
Mr.. Dawson will be the first witness at
today's session. and later in the day
Henry D. Cannon, of New York, will give
his views of the pending bill.

DESTRUCTION OF DIXIE TO-
BE HOLIDAY IN PANAMA

Panama. Oct. 9.-A fleet Of dredges

the final barrier of the canal when the
dixie has been destroyed tomorrow.
All is in readiness for the blowing
up of the dixie. The final charge of
dynamite will he placed tomorrow
morning, The occasion will be a semi
holiday. Special trains are to be run
TO convey sightseers to the best points
from which TO view the destruction or
the barrier. marking the beginning of
the final stage of the completion OF
the great waterway.
Unexpected delay has been encountered
in opening the trench through the CuCha-
racha slide. This trench will probably
be completed by Saturday. Then the
waters OF the Atlantic, set free by the
removal of the dixie, will rush through
with those Of the Pacific.
The principal part of today's prepara-
tions consisted of floating a fleet OF
dredges through the Gatun Lock. A
