ELEANOR WILSON
TO Be BRIDE OF
M'ADOO TODAY
White House Wedding to Take
Place at 6 O'Clock This
Evening.

WASHINGTON, May with a
plain circlet of pure gold, typical of
the quiet elegance of the ceremony,
Miss Eleanor Randolph Wilson,
youngest daughter of the President of
the United States and Mrs. Woodrow
Wilson, will be married at o'clock
this evening in the White House to
William Gibbs McAdoo, secretary of
the treasury.
The simple and impressive wedding
service of the Presbyterian Church
will be pronounced by Rev. Sylvester
Beach, pastor of the church in Prince
ton, n. J., attended by the President
and Mrs. Wilson and their family
The ceremony, while it is to be no.
tably elegant in all of Its appoint
meptH. will be witnessed by the
smallest company that ever attended
so important a function in the White
House. The vice-president and Mrs.
Marshall, the members of the cabinet
and their wives, relatives of the Pres
ident and Mrs. Wilson and of Sec
retary McAdoo and a few intimate
personal friends of the bride and
bridegroom comprise the list of
guests.
Ceremony In Blue Room.
The ceremony of this evening takes
place in the historic blue room, the
middle apartment of the suite on the
south side of the White House, be-
tween the east room and the state
dining room. 1t has been the scene of
more brilliant social functions than
any other room In the mansion. It
is in the blue room that the Presi-
dent formally receives his guests at
White House receptions. In recent
years, its furnishings and appoint
ments have been changed entirely.
Its oval form has been retained, but
the scheme of decoration and furnish
ing has been moderniZed. The color
plan is blue, but not the blue of a
robins egg as of old, but q dark
shade of French blue. The walls are
paneled in rich corded silk of the
same shade, affording an artistic
background for the wonderful spring
flower decorations which are q fea-
ture of todays wedding.
The massive furniture of days gone
by has been replaced with furniture
Of lighter, if not more artistic, de-
sign. The floral decorations of the
room--in fact, of the entire mansion
on the first fioor-will be marvel
ously beautiful Slender vases, OF
graceful designs in cut glass and rare
porcelain, will be filed with cut flow
ers, including masses of lilies and
white orchids, products of the White
House Conservatives. The south side

In capturing two men who, they say,
have confessed they committed a Sc
ries of daring robberies in this city
recently. In the room the pair occu-
pied the police found a quantity of
plunder, some of which was stolen

last night.
The emn are John McGee, twenty
seven years old, OF 1040 ePrryville
avenue, Pittsburgh, and Charles
Wholsiffer, seventeen years old, of q
Waverly avenue, this city. Wholsiffer
was released from the Railway Re-
tormatory only four months ago
after serving since July %, 1912, for
fobbing gas meters in this city. The
police say the records of his former
arrest show he Is not only seventeen
years old, but nineteen.

volver missed fire. the police say he
said, otherwise he would have killed
the llouseholder.
The a rest of the two men followed
the rob oery of the tailor shop of
Joseph 'etrone, at 1873 Camden street,
last night. Petrone telephoned to

tsrs last night that the place was
entered by forcing an iron shutter
and eight new suits of clothing, val
ued at 1853: two suits, valued at $17,
left In the shop for repairs: ten pairs
of trousers, valued at $75, and five
pieces of cloth, valued at $50. were
stolen. Lieutenant Jones assigned
Lieutensrts Ryan, Farrell and Pagan
10 the case
Last night the three officers visited
the store that was robbed and made
such investigation as they could, leav-
ing the work of attempting to trace
the stolen. goods until today.
Early today the detectives began
To make the rounds OF the second
hand clothing stores in Mulberry
street and vicinity. In their search
for information Regarding the second
hand dealers of the neighborfl00d ffiid
officers entered a saloon and there
foand McCiee and Wholsiffer. Each
man carried several pairs of trousers.
The officers walked toward the two
men 20 question them.
As Wolsiffer turned and saw the
policemen he drew a revolver from
his hip pocket and pointed 1t at Lieu
tenant Pagan Pagan made a flying
ies at the youth and pinned his arms
to his side. At the same instant
Lieutenant Ryan grappled with Nc
Gee, who also had made motion as
though to draw a revolver. MCGEE
and WhoIsiffer fought desperately,
but finally were overpowered. Then,
as Ryan and Fagan held them to the
floor, Lieutenant Farrell took their
revolvers away from them.

VERA Cruz. Mexico, May THE

With the constant arrival of Mexi-

BURNED VESSELS
SURVIVORS ARE
BROUGHT TOPORT
Not Recovered Sufficiently to
Give Detailed Account of
Their Escape.

BOSTON, May 7.-When the Cunard
liner Franconia from Liverpool ar
rived today bringing thirteen men,
bers of the crew of the burned
steamer Columbian, rescued from a
boat south of Sable island, several of
the survivors were suffering severely
from burns, and all showed the ef-
fects of exposure. The body of Chief
Steward Matthews, who died from
burns while in the open boat, also was
brought by the Franconia.
James Drohan, the wireless operator
of the Columbian, expressed the opin-
ion that spontaneous combustion in
the cargo of rags and junk caused the
fire. He said he was awakened by an
explosion shortly before midnight
Sunday night, and when he rushed
out on deck the vessel was in flames.
The saloon passengers on the Fran
coma assisted in giving first aid to
them and subscribing to fund for
their relief.
The survivors had not recovered
sufficiently from their wounds and
exhaustion to give detailed account
of their escape from the burning ship
and their forty hours of exposure in
an open and leaking boat. All were
removed to the marine hospital at
Chelsea as soon as the steamer
docked.
The Columbian's fire call early
Monday morning brought all hands
on deck Immediately. When the or
der to abandon the ship was given it
was found that the tackle was jammed
on the boat manned by the survivors.
The boat hung for few moments
by the falls, the sailors Tending 1t
away from the heated side of the
steamer until one of the men cut the
rope, The drop forced hole in the
bottom and throughout their forty
hours drift the men took turns in
bailing.
When the men were rescued they
were placed in the best staterooms
on the Franconia and were disturbed
only when it was necessary to give
them nourishment.

WOULD LOWER THE
RED|SC0UNT RATES
Requests From South and
West for Change in Rates
Sent Reserve Board

Washington, November 19.-Although re-
discounting operations by federal reserve
banks in three days have amounted to
only few million dollars, several banks
already have requested the federal re-
serve board for permission to lower the
rates. 1t was understood the districts
asking lower rate are in the south and
west.

not likely until all reserves of member
banks required at this time have been
transferred to the reserve bank vaults

by member banks in gold or other money
and that advantage be not taken of the
provision of the act by which reserves
may be transferred in the shape of re-
discounted commercial paper-a transfer
of credit which adds nothing to the actual
cash of the reserve banks or its potential
loaning power. For this reason the re-
discount rate was put about on the level

little advantage to banks to pass on their
paper.
The board has about concluded not to
tax federal reserve notes. This will make
them more attractive to banks who now
have in their possession quantities CT
emergency currency and possibly clear
ing house certificates, both subject to
high taxes or interest charges.
Emergency currency and the certificates
are being retired rapidly and although
financial observers here say there Is no
need for more circulation, banks which
give up their emergency notes to avoid
payment of further taxes may feel the
need of other notes and the freedom of
the reserve notes from a tax may bring
them into circulation

INCIDENT APPARENTLY CLOSED

An over-zealous subordinate Mexi-
can officer arrested a navy paymaster
and party of marines in uniform, who
landed in Tampico, leaving their
flag flying on their boat, upon some
ordinary errand. 1t is not stated that
they were armed, and presumably
they were not, it not being in accord
with international custom to land
armed bodies, under command, on for
eign territory without permission.
The party was paraded through the
streets of Tampieo under guard, but
was soon released by the superior Off
Ger in command. Upon demand of the
American admiral, the Huertan gov
eminent promptly made an ample
apology and stated that a military in
quiry would at once be ordered and
the officer responsible for the arrest
be punished as might be found proper.
This, however, did not satisfy the
rear-admiral in command of the
oHIOiiCdh ilCCt, VIM loouc0 an Iih
tum that the Huerta guns must salute
the American flag. In this demand
he was backed up by the administra-
ton at Washington. Wishing to save
his face, Huerta agreed to the propo-
s%ition, with the proviso that the
American ships in the harbor shall
return the salute, and to this the adj
ministration has agreed.
While not familiar with interna-
tional law, the Silver State is of opin-
ion that the proceedings have now
taken a fareical turn. 1t is no doubt
customary for friendly warships Wis
iting a foreign port to be saluted with
q certain number of cannon shots,
which salute is returned. In that
event. the Huerta government will
only officially look upon the incident
as an exchange of courtesies between
two friendly countries.
And after this fact has been ac-
complished, President Wilson may
again resume his policy of "wait-
ing and watching" sidestepping and
gyrating, vacillating and hedging.
