..ELOP|NG COUPLE
|. RECEIVE BLESSING
Young Capital Newlyweds Are
Welcomed Home After Their
Runaway Marriage.

Hugh Grim, nineteen years old. of 20;
A street southeast, and Carrie Virginia
Slingland, seventeen years old, of 22s
North Capitol street, were mar
ried secretly In Rockville, Sat
urday by the Rev. Samuel R. whits.
The discovery, which came to relatives
yesterday, was accompanied by tears,
which, however, quickly changed to
smiles. And now the world smiles and
the happily married pair are facing the
problem of life with no end of happy
anticipations.
After a three-months courtship, the
young pair solicited the sanction of
parents. Not receiving this, they left
home Saturday. William, the nine
teen years old brother of Mrs. Grim
suspicioned something amiss and
made inquiries. He was told by the
couple that they were going TO a
moving picture show.
In Rockville they were married by
the Rev. Samuel r. White When
they returned to Washington, they
wished to keep the matter a secret,
knowing OF parental objection. But
the secret was not to stand. n party
of young friends who had been let
in on Ii came around for a friendly
shower, and congratulations.
After some hesitancy, the Mrs.
Slingland and Mrs. Carrie Pyle, the
brides aunt, who also lives at 225
North Capitol street, entering into
the spirit of the situation, gave their
blessing.

transparent gown"
Short lived. indeed. was the fashion
of the transparent gown" in Phila-

Magistrate Tracey.

beat today when he beheld young
woman coming toward him bedecked In
the fiimsy outfit Walsh rushed toward
her, threw his coat around her should
ers and escorted her TO the station
house. When arraigned the woman re-
fused to tell her name.
II washed my petticoat, Judge" she
explained. while it was drying l

Wilson's Forged Letter
Charge Again Denied

Further denial of Ambassador Will
sons forged letter charges against
Mrs Madero. the Mexican Presidents
widow, came today.
Emiliano MaderO, brother of the
slain President, now in Asbury Park
says. as representatives of the Mad
erists here have said, that Mrs. Mad
ero never forged the Ambassador
name and that the only letter invoIy-
ed in the controversy is one written
to President Taft from a member OF
the Madero family seeking protec-
tion Tor the imprisoned President OF
Mexico.
Colonel Juan Carrao was even more
emphatic than Ma6ero. He said
IF Ambassador Wilson has accused
Sonora Madero of forging letters over
his signature. a damnable lie has been
told. Sonora Madero is incapable OF
forgery or deceit She is q lady of the
very highest and most noble character,
and / would shoot the man who said
the contrary
Sonora Madero denied the existence in
TINS city Of a bureau to Turther the
maderist cause. II is admitted how
ever. that there is a bureau here fur
therfng the constitutionalist cause.
The people of the United States are
IN sympathy with our cause" he said.
They know that my brother was bru-
tally murdered without the slightest
pretense Of a trial, which fact in itself
would awaken Indignation in the brea SITS
OF civilized people. 1 will not call Am
bassador Wilson any hard names. Why
should i / am a Madero and / will
not stoop to use epithets such as the
papers have put in the mouth of Am
bassador Wilson"

Huerta government in Mexico. confirm
the rumors of his strange Interference
in Mexican politics that were rife
during the tragic fortnight that end

Madero."
The statement continues:
I'VE wish to call the attention of the
public to the fact that the meetings
among the government, revolutionary.
and military chiefs where the betrayal
of Madero was discussed, were held
under the protection of the United
States embassy.
Wilson disobeyed the strictest in

ACCUSES DEMOCRATS
OF CAUSING STRIFE
Senator Townsend Declares
Party Is Stirring Up
Class Feeling.

Stoutly denying that President Will
sons charge Of the existence of a pow
erfui and insidious lobby in Washing
ton had been sustained by facts. and
denouncing the present lobby investiga-
tions, Senator Townsend of Michigan
IN a tai III speech today described the
Democratic party as 'fomenting, dis.
cord and encouraging class strife"
l. He declined to go at great length into
the tariff schedules, as he said the bill
had been determined In advance by ex.
ecutive order. He quoted from speech
dlivered by President Wilson at Port
lend, Ore, in 1911, wherein Mr.. Wilson
spoke of that much-to-be-desired re-
suit, when the people will again depend
with confidence upon their legislators
and not lean as IL for rescue upon their
executives"
Truly" commented the Senator, "a
Daniel come to Judgment"
The Payne-Aldrich tariff bill he de-
scribed as bringing "the inevitable con.
fiict between long-recognized and arro-
CANT leaders of the Republican party on
the one side. and a new set of men
equally determined to be leaders on the
other side The tariff furnished the
opportunity for the latter class to ex-
ploit the dictatoriai and inexcusable
methods Of the former, and In the
struggle the party was sacrificed"
"a saturnalia of abuse and misrepre-
sentation seems TO be reigning," he de-
clared. In discussing the lobby probe.
-and Congress has been stampeded into
Investigations of itself. The two houses
are struggling for possession of self
convicted scoundrels who have capital
lied for financial gain the existing dis
position to abuse the national legisla-
ture."
Senator Gronna of North Dakota
gave notice that he would speak on
Wednesday, and Senator Thornton of
Louisiana. that he would discuss the
sugar schedule on Thursday, while
Senator Sterling of NoIbh Dakota will
present his views tomorrow.

d y i
A bill providing for. the raising OF
volunteer troops in time of war or
threatened war was introduced In the

lied militia and provides the ma
chinery whereby the President may

at Juarez, Mexico, for alleged incompe-

American refugees at MADEIRA, vas
urged upon Secretary Bryan today by
Congressman Smith OF Texas. Contin-

Congressman Smith also urged Bry-

munitlon from the United States.
Il told Mr.. Bryan that as long as We
do not recognize the Huerta faction, We
should not favor it by permitting II to
secure arms from this country said
smith. I'VE deny they have a constltu-
tional government, and yet give them
arms We ought to give arms TO both
factions or neither"

BANKERS ARGUMENT
Owen Sees No Reason Why
Financiers Should Control
Reserve Board.
.'.-~ =

Senator Owen of Oklahoma, chairman
OF, the Senate Banking and Currency
Committee. has written a letter to Jo-
seph T.. Talbert. vice president of the
National City Bank OF New York, in
which he sharply assails the arguments
that the Federal reserve board. as pro-
posed in the Administration currency
hill. should be controlled by the banks
instead Of the Government.
Senator Owen says the bankers have
no more right to cohtrol such a board
Than the railroads would to control the
Interstate Commerce Commission or
the packers to administer the pure food
act
The Senator said the plea. for bank
controlled board was contrary to COM
perience Of England, France. and Ger
many. The appointees would no more
be political appointees,' than the MEM
bers of the Supreme Court would be.
Hot Shot For Bankers.
Further. Senator Owen sold: You
ask me. Is there wisdom or safety in
placing such power in the hands of a
board of seven individuals having no
personal interest in the banksT
Il ask you in return, Is there wisdom
or safety in leaving such power In the
0dfluS OI a ike uuIlDcE VI DduhrAo
Chicago and New York, who have no
personal responsibility to the people OF
the United States, and who have demon.
strated their inability Of not their un-
willingpess) to protect the stability OF
the commerce Of the United States?'
The very fact that the Federal re-
serve board has no personal interest,
but acts from Government and altru-
istic standpoint in the interest Of all Of
our people. in the interest Of every
branch OF commerce and Industry Of the
United States, the banks especially in
cluded, Is the best answer to your OBJ
lection. 1t is true there are quite few
thousands Of bankers, but. there are
s00O0. 900 people under our flag who are
not bankers.
Suggestion Unreasonable
Your suggestion that because one OF
the 1000 member banks does not con-
troll the Federal reserve bank it would
not have any interest in contributing
is singuIariy unreasonable What a
member bank gets is the. Immediate
right to rediscount its liquid bills up to
two-thirds of the reserve deposited with
the reserve bank; and, in addition.
other accommodations by way of re-
discounts In case of need, get currency
always to supply its customers, and, in
addition. a financial roof over its head
and a financial foundation under
its feet that will prevent the periodic
destruction of banks by the currency
and credit panics which have swept this
country under the. bad management OF
the past"
