interstate commerce commission, died
at Washington, following an attack
of acute indigestion by which he was
stricken in Philadelphia.
Commissioner Marble was selzed
with an acute attack of indigestion
Wednesday and was unable to leave
his bed. Consequently the interstate
commerce commissions investigation
into the rates and practices of vie
anthracite coal carrying railroads
which he was conducting in Philadel-
phia, was adjourned indefinitely.

illness was only of temporary ma
ture and that he would be on his feet

Improvement did not come. however,
and the commissioner returned to

No NEW YEARS RECEPTION
President Announces His Decision to
Take Vacation

There will be no New Years recep-

Wilson announced that during the
holiday recess of congress he would
take an ten day vacation. Exactly
when or where he will go was not
announced, and probably will not be
until his departure.
The White House New Years re-

Washington, beside being one of the

president to receive congressman

on such occasions. The reception is

SAW STEAMER DIVE
LeafieId's Crew Had No Chance to
Save Themselves

The Algoma Central steamer Lea
field rests on the bottom of Lake Su-
perior, and her entire crew was lost
in the recent Great Lakes storm, ac-
cording to the version of Captain Baird
OF the Harmonic, the vessel which last
sighted the craft.
Captain Baird on his arrival here
from Fort William, said the Leafield,
which carried cargo of steel rails,
crested a huge wave, then suddenly
dipping forward, dived straight to-
ward the bottom of Lake Superior
without any of the crew having a
chance to put on life belt. 1t is
thought the shifting of her heavy car
go fastened the Leafield's end.
Although the tug Arbutus left Fort
William to search for the Leafield,
practically no hope is entertained of
finding trace of the boat or her
crew.

ALLEGES ASSAULT
BY WEALTHY FARMER
Death Penalty For Urine He Is
Alleged to Have committed

Indications are that the trial of E.
G. Wilson, a wealthy farmer charged
with assault by Miss Kate Turner
Mrs. Wilson's guest, would be con-
cluded at Charleston, N. Va. Miss
Turner told her story, and appeared
in court for cross examination.
Heavily yelled, Miss Turner re-
lated her version of the alleged at
tack, in tones so low that only the
judge, the lawyers and the jury could
hear her testimony. She said that
Wilson, who had been attending a
horse show, returned home the morn
ing of June 6, and after breakfast in
vited her to accompany him to a re-
mote part of his farm to look over
some blooded cattle.
Arriving at the place, she said, he
forced her out Of the buggy. She re-
turned with Wilson to the house and
later went to her home, where she
took her mother into her confidence.
DR.. William Neil later was told, and
Wilson's arrest followed.
The penalty for the crime is death.

departments at the navy yard, had a
narrow escape from death in a divers
suit which he put on for the first time
and went down in forty feet of water
to inspect the submerged work of a
new bridge leading from Kittery, Me. :,
to the navy reservation.
He was below less than two minutes
when the tender got a signal to haul
him quickly to the surface where he
was found to be bleeding from the
mouth and ears and in an exhausted
condition. The station medical force
attended him. He was informed by the
regular divers of certain dangers, but
he wanted experience which nearly

event, which is as brilliant function
as has ever taken place at the White
House.
While Miss Wilson is the thirteenth
bride going forth from the White
House, her marriage is only the fifth
in which the bride was presidents
daughter. The company witnessing
the wedding is not as large as that as
sembled at the marriage of Miss Alice
Roosevelt and Nicholas Longworth,
for the president and his wife desired
to limit an official company to about
400 guests.
Invitations to the wedding were in a
style of simple elegance, engraved on
ivory tinted heavy paper, double fold,
about nine by ten inches, with the
United States coat of arms embossed
heavily in white at the top. They
read in modest script:
The President and Mrs. Wilson re-
quest the pleasure of the presence of

written skilfully with a pen to match
the engraving exactly, at the mar
riage of their daughter, Jessie Wood
Tow, to Mr.. Francis Bowes Sayre, on

fifth, Nineteen Hundred and Thirteen,
at half after o'clock at the White
House, Washington, d. c."
The wedding gown was made in
New York and is of soft ivory tinted
satin with much rare old lace. The
lingerie portions of the trousseau were
all handmade and of the daintiest and
most delicate construction and ma
terials. II had been planned that
was to be the keynote OF the
whole AFFAIR and that while the we'd
ding company was TO be large It was

Girl WAS GIVEN

She EXHIBITS MUCH FIRERY
cI~ims Millionaire Banker Gave Her
$50 1000 Outright While He Says 1t
Was Loan to Assist Her to Estab-
Iish a Chain of Stores-She Shows
Power of Attorney From Him

The remarkable case of Martin Zim-
norman, the New York millionaire
banker, uncle of the wife of the Duke
of Manchester, was outlined before
the referee in bankruptcy at New
Haven when Mrs. Lillian Wray
asserted her reasons why she
claims that Zimmerman gave her
$86, 900 outright. Zimmerman claims
that the money was loaned her to as
sist her develop her chain of grocery
stores, while Mrs. Wray declares that
it was gift, pure and simple.
She was on the witness stand all
day giving in detail her side of the
unprecedented case. That Zimmerman
was completely infatuated with her is,
in brief, the reason on which she
hinges her claim. She went into de-
tails as to her relations with the
banker declaring that he made her
acquaintance in telephone CONVEX
sation when she was manager of the
Milford exchange and that she &C
cepted his attentions.
She recounted his gifts to her OF
hampers of fruit, cases of champagne,
confectionery, flowers and a trunk
sent from Europe full of clothes. The
latter she exhibited, asserting that
their value, estimated in hundreds of
dollars, made it plausible that, as
she claimed, he had given her as a
pure gift the SS6, 900 he turned over
to her.
She also showed power of attorney
he gave her four years ago to collect
money due him in Connecticut.
The millinery display she exhibited
included ostrich plumes from Paris,
hand embroidered garments, a cameo
and gold bracelet from London, a
French embroidered skirt and coat OF
extravagant price, trimmed with Be-
hemian lace. Visits with Zimmerman
to leading New York hotels were re-
counted by her, and she said that
Zimmerman urged her to take an
apartment in New York.
Retiring from the telephone bust |
ness finally she claims he brought for
her the chain of stores. If thinner
mans claims can be substantiated he |
will gain possession of the stores and |
secure about SIS, 900 of the money
turned over to her.
His couNsel pointed out that in the |
hearing Oct. "a she testified that she |
regarded him as an honorable GENTLE
man and that their relations were not |
improper. The case will be continued.

Great BATTLE

HEAVY LOSS ON BOTH SIDES

With Dynamite and Great Number
of Soldiers killed-Armed Ameri-
cans Guard International Border
Against Invasion

Against Invasion
At TERRA Blanca, thirteen miles
south OF Juarez, the most decisive
battle OF the Carranza revolt is being
fought by the federals and constitu-
tionalists. The troops on each side
number about 10, 600. To support his
front General Pancho Villa has prac-
tically evacuated Juarez, drawing of
the small garrison he had left there
when he began his movement south
ward.
Heavy loss Is reported on both
sides. Before the engagement began
General Villa reported that a column
. in advance of his main body had blown
up two federal troop trains with dyna-
mite at Rancheria, sixty-six miles
south of JuareZ. He said that there
were fifteen hundred federals on these
trains and that the loss of life had
been enormous.
Alarm has been caused at Ell Paso,
Tex, by the reports that the rebel
lines are wavering. 1t is feared that
in the event of losing the battle hun
dreds Of constitutionalists will seek
safety on this side of the border. TO
protect the outlying districts from be-
ing looted in the event of this occur
ring, a posse Of 500 armed citizens,
which was formed when the rebels
MANAGED Ell Paso three years ago,
has been ordered to assemble on
signal blown on the great fire whistle.
They will guard all approaches across
the border where the regular troop
patrol is insufficient.
General Villa has forbidden news
paper men or other Americans to go
to the battle field. Few authentic re-
ports OF the progress of the battle had
been received, but what were re-
ceived indicated that neither side had
as yet gained material advantage. The
battle front of the rebels is reported
to extend three miles on either side
of TERRA Blanca. Cannonading was
distinctly heard here. The border pa
troll reports hearing firing from the
general direction of Guadalupe,
thirty three miles east of Juarez. This
apparently means that the fsderals
are trying to execute a flank move
ment.
If the main body of federals succeed
in thanking movement and enter Ju-
arez from the east it is not believed
that Villa will make any attempt to
regain the town. Some of the Ameri- |
can army officers believe that Villas |
intention has been to draw the fed
erals from Chihuahua City, and that
instead OF fighting a pitched battle,
he will speed south to take advantage
OF the slight garrison left to guard
Chihuahua City.
