WASHINGTON, Nov. 24.-The ap-
preaching White House wedding sched-
uled for tomorrow in which Miss Jessie
Woodrow Wilson and Francis B. Sayre
will be the chief actors is attracting
widespread attention not alone in
Washington society circles but likea
wise throughout the nation. The event
will be brilliant but will be devoid CT
that ostentation which has marked
former affairs at the White House of
this character. Probably not more
than a score of invitations have been
issued to Washington residents out
side of officialdom and great majority
of the guests will come from Prince
ton.
The final preparations for the cere-
mony tomorrow are now being made.
DR.. Sylvester Beach, who officiates,
and scores of ushers, gift bearers and
others have been streaming in and o.It
Of the executive mansion all day. The
rehearsal of the ceremony took place
at 8 o'clock this afternoon. This eve
ling there will be a dinner and

PROBING RATES

Hearing Being Held Before Interstate

Not Grant Increase.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2t.--Investiga-
ton of the reasonableness of the pro-
posed rate advances on forty-nine east
ern railroads was begun today by the
interstate commerce commission, un-
der the personal direction of Louis
Brandeis, of Boston.
The roads involved are those east
of the Mississippi and south of the
Ohio and the Potomac rivers.
President Willard of the Baltimore
& Ohio, testified today that the adj
vance of five per cent was essential to
enable the road to make a reasonable
profit His testimony with that of
President Delano of the Wabash, is
expected to consume two days. 1t is

the voting rights which Ulster men
are conceding to women being taken
from them by the Liberal government
| The union will henceforth oppose the
government and the nationalist party
with more vigor than ever, because if
the government and Mr.. John Redmond
should be successful in forcing the
home rule bill upon Ulster, women
would be robbed of the voting rights
which Sir Edward Carson and his col
leagues are prepared to grant to them
under the provisional government.
During the autumn campaign the
Women's Social and Political union
will increasingly advertise the fact that
a so-called Leberal government is less
progressive where the rights of women
are concerned than their unionist op-
ponents, and that whereas the men of
Ulster are ready to share their politi-
cal rights with women, those who are
responsible for the home rule agita-
ton are not. The W. S. p U. declares
that there can be no return to the old
position of affairs under which Ulster
women like the women in other parts
of the kingdom had no control over
law making. Whether they are under
the rule of an Ulster parliament or of
the imperial parliament, they must nj
either case have the vote.

TWO AvIATORS KILLED
Machine Was But Eight Feet From the
Ground When 1t Plunged to
Earth.

SAN DIEGO, Nov. 24-Lieutenants
Hugh M. Kelly, aged 80, and Eric
Lexington, aged "a, were killed today
by a fall in their aeroplane over North
Island, San Diego bay. The cause of
the accident is not known.
The men were in the air eight feet
when the machine plunged to earth
and fell on the bay shore mile from
the aviation camp. They had been fly
ing about five minutes over Point
Iona and Ocean when they started to
glide to earth at normal angle. The
machine suddenly turned, pointed nose
downward and plunged to the ground.
When the other aviators reached the
scene both were dead and partly COW
cred with wreckage. Five men in the
army school were killed last year.

"We hail as a great victory the an
nouncement that the draft articles of
the Ulster Provisional Government
provide that women shall have the vote
on the same terms as men in the cleo

GRANDMA TAYLOR
HAS PASSED AWAY
ONE OF THE EARLIEST PIONEERS
OF LATAH COUNTY CALLED TO
THE GREAT BEYOND.
Deceased Had Been Resident of This
Section for AZ Years and Was
Loved by Many.

After an illness of nearly a year due
to old age, Mrs. William Taylor, bet

Taylor, passed peacefully away last
night at her home one mile south of
Moscow on the homestead that she
has lived on for the past AZ years. Her
death was not unexpected, though it
has cast gloom over hundreds of
friends who have enjoyed her friend
ship for so many years.
The deceased has been a resident of
Latah county since 1871 when in cam
pany with her husband she settled on
the very homestead on which she pass
ed away. She was a native of Penn
sylvania and was SO years of age.
Bearing family of eight children,
five boys and three girls, she survived
six of her children who have passed
away before her.
The deceased was devout Christian
and was member of the Christian
church. Always of a charitable and
kindly disposition she won the love and
esteem of all those who knew her and
her loss will be keenly felt among
her friends. Her husband passed away
several years ago.
The deceased was always active and
in excellent health up to the past year
when she began to fail rapidly. FIRE.

preferring the exercise of walk rath-

The deceased has resided with her

FINE EXHIBIT
FROM MOSCOW
BROWN & MOOD WILL SEND VAL.
ABLE HORSES TO NORTHWEST
LIVESTOCK SHOW.
Well known Firm VIII Send Grand
Champion Shire Which Captured
1912 RibbOn-Will Ship II Head.

Brown & Moody, the well-known inn
porters and breeders of blooded horses,
are preparing to enter at the Lewiston
Livestock show one of the finest ex-
hibits that has ever been seen at any
horse show in the northwest. 1t will
include a dozen head of horses that
bid fair to attract the lions share of
attention at the Lewiston show and to
bring home fine collection of blue
ribbons. Brown G Mood exhibits are
beginning to hold the center of the
stage wherever they are shown in the
northwest, having won this reputation
through the awards of more blue rib
bons than perhaps any other breed
ers in the northwest can boast of.
At the Lewiston show last year the
exhibit entered by the Moscow firm
was not SO extensive as it will be
this year but it failed not to win the
customary assortment of ribbons. A
grand championship was awarded to
Maidstone Waggoner, the imported
2200-pound Shire stallion, and another
grand championship went to the ton
Belgian stallion. Both of these cham
pions will be entered again this year.
Besides these Brown & Moods ex-
libit at the Lewiston show will include
a 1900-pound two-year-old Belgian
stallion; a two-year-old Shire stallion
Weighing 1900 pounds; two black Per-
,herons weighing 1900 pounds each;
wo Percheron yearling colt which
weigh 1400 pounds each and two Shire
rood mare with sucking colts.
By reason of the showing made at |
asst years show by the Moscow breed |
rs and at the shows all over the In |
and Empire for the past few years,
specially during the 1912 show cir
uit, their exhibit is being looked for
Yard to as one Of the keenest COM
etitors for honors that will be on the
rounds at the opening of the 1913
vestock show at Lewiston.

PARIS, Nov. 24.-French astrono-

star-gazers to try to find out in jan
uary if Mars is inhabited and is try
ing to signal the earth.
1--WE shall have to content ourselves
with seeing what we can from France"
declared M. Bigourdan, Of The Paris
observatory, because we lack the
money to transport ourselves to the
equator as American observers will
do. However we shall await with on
eagerness to hear the result
Of the trip for Mars will be very close
to the earth in January and perhaps
many of the problems now vexing us
about Mars may be solved"

LIVESTOCK MARKETS
Cattle and Hogs Seemed to Hold Firm
During Past Week.

PORTLAND, Nov. 24.-Receipts fol-
the week have been: Cattle, 1870;
calves, 65; hogs, 1928; sheep, 1862.
A large proportion of the week S
cattle business has been on a lower
basis, due to the general inferiority of
the stuff marketed. When an occasion
ell prime load of steers or cows ap-
peared in the yards, order buyers
snapped them up quickly at top prices.
A steer sold Monday at $7.75 and load
or two at $7.40 and $3.50 is an example,
but the bulk of sales were at $500 and
$7.25. The poorest lot of cows and
heifers seen here for weeks caused the
session to drag. Killers are simply
oversupplied on poor beef quality.
Other butcher lines were steady.
The hog market faltered on Tues
day when the trade weakened about
ten cents, but during the remainder
Of the period $500 proved to be a
substantial price basis for choice light
weight swine. A big volume of busi

SMASHED TO SMITHEREENS
Because Cabinet Member Occupied
Senate Chamber During Currency
Debate, Old Precedent Smashed.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 24.-Another
precedent was smashed to smithereens
today when a cabinet member, Secre-

in person on the senate floor to hear
the debate on currency.
McAdoo sat on the democratic side
and listened intently but had nothing
to say. Senator Owen opened the dis
cussion following the report by the
administration members OF the cur
rency and banking committee opposing
a central bank with branches.
