Mr.. New said the receiyership
was due to the failure of a Paris
bank which financed the road.
According to Attorney New, the
company owes the Baldwin company
several thousand dollars. The Paris
bank that failed, sold most of the
roads bond issue of between twelve
and thirteen million dollars.
Trains are now being operated

Brussels, Dec. 13.-COmmercial sta

by all European governments under
one hundred and eighty-siX headings
divided into five categories, namely,
living animals, foods and drinks, raw
or simply prepared materials, man

The convention establishing this
common classification has been
signed by the delegates to the Inter
national Conference for Commercial
Statistics which finished its work
here this week.
In order to avoid the inconveni
cnce of the limitations of these five
categories, it was agreed, under an
additional heading at the end OF
each group, "other products coulc
be eadded of a geenral nature with
those in a group and yet Mt under
one of the standard numbered head
ings. A second convention, agreeing
to maintain the Internatioal Bureau
of Statistics in Brussels, also was
signed.

Whether they like it or no, all men must concede that the passage of the Webb bill, which prohibits the shipping of liquors into dry territory is in line of honesty and justice. The situation that has ex- isted in which the national govern ment licensed and encouraged men to break the laws of a state whose people had put themselves on record as against liquor selling on wrong in every principle. The law of state or city, made and ap- proved by the majority, should be respected so long as it exists. That is the purpose and principle of q decomratic form of government. If then, the majority tires of any rule it has made, it should have the same power to change it--by an ex- pression of the majority.

WEDDING FILLS CHURCH
Union of Cuthbert Owen Parker and Miss Iris Gertrude Webster
 an Affair of Wide Interest.

The wedding on March of Miss Iris Gertrude Webster to Cuthbert Owen Parker was an event that filled the large auditorium of the Baptist church far beyond seat ing capacity, fully l50 guests stand ing during the ceremony.
 The church was beautifully deco rated for the occasion with ever greens and ferns. From large arch of Easter lilies in front of the altar was hung a wedding bell, elaborately decorated with white roses and evergreens, a white lily being used for the clapper.
 The bridal couple, with E. w. | HOrner as best man and Neal Rid | ling as grOOmSman, and Miss May Parker as maid of honor and Miss Neda Webster, sister of the bride, as first bridesmaid and six tiny flower girls marched to the altar to the strains of Mendelssohn's we'd ding march, played by Miss kath- leen Holt. The little girls carried small white baskets filled with fresh violets, which they scattered in the path of the bride and groom. The flower girls were the lit tie Misses Olga Parker, Myrtle Bell, Juanice Scoggin, Nirgelia GofT, Elizabeth Myers and Ouida Riding.
 The Rev. W. L. Smith said the words that united the young cou- pie for veal or woe. The ring cere- mony was used. Miss Holt softly played "Medilation.' Immediately after the ceremony Mr. Smith pre- sented Mr. and Mrs. Parker with a bible, which he requested should be their guide through life.
 The bride was dressed in a charming gown of white serge trim med with white brocaded silk, and wore pearls in her gracefully ar ranged hair. Her dainty white slippers were trimmed with lilies of the valley. She carried a large shower bouquet of roses and lillies. The maid of honor and bridesmaids were charmingly gowned in white lingerie.
 After the ceremony and congra- tuIatiOns the special friends of the families of both bride and groom were taken in carriages to the home of the brides father, Mir. c. H. Webster, 1922 West Port Ar thur avenue, where dainty luncheon was served.
 An interesting feature was that the groom and best man were each just 20 years of, age, while the bride and maid of honor were each r: the bridesmaid and groomsman were each l9. Just twenty-One years ago the parents of the groom marched to the altar to the strains of the same music, Mendelssohn's Wedding March.
