His father was Dennis Coe of Strat- ford, his mother, Phoebe Ann Wilcox, also of this town. and he was the old est of four children.

Judge of Municipal Court.
The ceremony was witnessed by only
the members of the two families and
the most intimate relatives and friends
and was performed in the double par
lors of the residence under a huge arch
of smilax and pink carnations. The re-
mainder of the room was attractively
decorated with evergreens, with i'm
mense clusters of roses, carnations and
cut flowers. The color scheme was
worked out with an attainment of per-
feetion and the rooms presented ar
appearance that was marked with
splendor and excellence.
The bridal party entered the room

a cousin of the bride.
The bride was becomingly at

Opponents of the literacy test fought
strenuously, but on the last effort to
eliminate it from the bill they were
defeated lao to 2S9 The final vote
came at the end of a day of vigorous
debate, which at times threw the
House into confusion and on several
occasions threatened to cause serious
trouble.
Representative Burnett of Alabama
in charge of. the bill, tried to hurry
the debate along and frequently NOV
ed to proceed and shut off the discus
sion. On one occasion Rep. Manahan
of Minnesota commented upon what
he called the unfairness with which
this bill has been driven through" and
the unfair statements of the chair
man, Mr.. Burnett, in view of his fear
and cowardice which he has shown in
not daring to answer objections.
With bound, Rep. Burnett was on
his feet.
That's lie, Mr.. Chairman. and the
gentleman knows it," he shouted.
Amid a tumult of demands for rec
ognition for points of order and a gem
eral outburst of disorder, Rep. Hay, in
the chair, finally called Rep. Manahan
to order.
Another outburst followed, in course
of which Rep. Manahan withdrew the
word cowardice. Minority Leader Mann
eventually brought about an exchange
of apologies.
