MUSIC AT CHURCH
WEDDINGS In LENT
Sometimes Solemnity Is the Note,
but Sometimes Services Are
Fully Choral.
TBy Cable 10 The Tribune. J

London, March 14.-Not so many years
ago II was considered odd and strange
TO have music and singing at weddings
in church during Lent-in fact some
High Church clergymen do not permit
marriage at all during that period,
Times have changed, but the majority
Of ceremonies in the West End churches
are kept as quiet as possible. The dlt-
ference of opinion as to what may be
played and sung at Lenten weddings was
illustrated at Miss Kathleen Goschen's on
Thursday, when the ordinary full choral
music was given with the usual hymns
and anthem. and at Miss Rose Hen
mixer Heatons on Tuesday, when only
the most solemn music, including Kip
ling's "Recessional' and Handel's Lar
go" was heard.
Miss Henniker- Heaton's wedding was
one of the smartest in recent months
The bride was the younger daughter Of
Sir John Henniker- Heaton (whose name
is famous in connection with the impe-
rial and he Anglo-American penny post
age sehemes), Major Adrian Porter being
the bridegroom. The ceremony took
place at Christ Church, Mayfair. The
bridal procession was unusually pictu-
rescue, including four bridesmaids and
six children. The brides robe was OF
rich cream charmeuse brocade trimmed
with costly lace and court train of gold
embroidery. A reception was held at the
Curzon Hotel, after which Mr.. and Mrs
Porter left for st. Petersburg.

ULSTERMEN ARE
ASKING FOR MORE
Asouith's Concessions Deemed In
sufficient-ExclusiOn of Whole
Province Demanded.

T,ondon. March IA settlement OF the
Irish Home Rule difficulty apparently mas
been little advanced by the British gov
ernment's great concessions to the us
terltes. The latter now demand not only
the exclusion of the four counties-An-
trim. Armagh, Londonderry and Down
I'm which the Protestants are in the ma
jority, but they want the entire province
of Ulster excluded. Anything else, they
saw. would be the desertion of their COM
rades in counties where Protestants are
I'm the minority and would be treason to
their covenant.
On the other side the government news
papers assert that Premier Asquith,s
scheme is the absolute limit Of conces-
sions and is not basis for further nego-
tiations. Winston Spencer Churchill, First
Lord OF the Admiralty, speaking at Brad
ford. Yorkshire to-day. said:
'It seems to me that in principle-I
don't speak Of details-that it is the last
offer his majestys government can or
ought to make"
Commenting later on his Bradford ad-
dress, Mr.. Churchill said:
The first British soldler or coaslSuard
who is attacked and killed by the Orange
men will raise such an explosion in this
country as the Tories little appreciate,
and il will shake the foundations Of So
ciety."
Percy Holden Illingworth, the chief Lib
eral whip in the House OF Commons.
speaking at the same meeting, said there
would be no general election until the
Home Rule for Ireland, the Welsh discs
Enlistment and the plural voting bills
had been passed by Parliament.
Sir Edward Russell, who is a close
friend of Premier Asquith. writing in
1.-The Liverpool Daily Post" of which he
is the editor. takes different view. He
writes:
I'm non-political clubs everybody is
confident that Premier Asquith has made
up his own mind to let the Nationalists
go; that sooner or later he will tell Mr..
Redmond that the only feasible Home
Rule Is one with the entire exclusion of
Ulster"
Some Nationalist organs are bitterly
denounclng the Nationalist members for
submitting to Premier Asqulths terms.

MOVE FOR FRENCH
PANAMA MONUMENT
Desire Formally Expressed to
Ambassador Herrick, Who
Promises Aid.

Paris March IA desire to have a
monument erected at Panama in com
memoration of the relation of France to
the great enterprise of connecting the
Atlantic and Pacific oceans was infor-
mally expressed to Ambassador Myron T..
Herrick to-day. The project was ex-
planned by Louis Jaray, secretary of the
influential group of Frenchmen compos-
ing the F'rance-America Committee. which
has already secured the approval of the
French Foreign Office for the plan
President Wilson, it was pointed out.
had approved the idea when II was mem
toned to him last year by William Nor
ton Fullerton, of Norwich. Conn, who
was visiting America as commissioner OF
the Lyons International Exposition. Mr..
Fullerton then explained that the sug-
gestion of Gabriel Hanotaux, former
French Minister of Foreign Affairs and
president of the France-America Com
mittee. was that the monument should be
raised from subscriptions gathered among
the French people.
1t is the wish of the committee that the
United States government, II il accepts
the suggestion. should select site for
the monument along the canal A large
commission, including some of the most
notable men in France. would then visit
the United States and Panama in con-
nection with the plan.
Ambassador Herrick replied that ne re-
garded the proposal as admirable in prin-
ciple, and said ne would communicate it
to Washington when brought formally to
him for consideration. NJ. Jaray promised
that this should be done.
NJ. Hannotaux is organizing banquet
at which the plan is to be brought to the
attention of the public after the official
preliminaries have been arranged.

PAGES SILENCE OR
RECALL DEMANDED
Senator Chamberlain Says That
lie Has Twice Placed u. S.
in False Light.

Washington. March l4.-"Some means
ought to be found by the powers that be
TO seal the lips of the Ambassador in
Great Britain, or else in justice to the
American people. he ought to be recalled,
and that as promptly as possible" said
Senator Chamberlain, Of Oregon. In a for
NAL statement to-day. after reading
cabled accounts of Ambassador Pages
address before the Associated Chambers
Of Commerce in London on Wednesday
night,
Senator Chamberlain introduced the
resolution passed by the Senate, as a re-
suit of which Secretary Bryan sent a
cable message to Mr. Page for a full re-
port of his speech, i'm which he was re-
ported as having said that the American
people were pleased that Great Britain
should profit most by the Panama Canal
and that the Monroe Doctrine meant
merely that the United States would
prefer that no European governments
would gain more land in the New World
This is the second time in less than
year that Ambassador Page has been
guilty of the improperly Of placing the
American people in a false light before
the British public" said Senator Cham
berlain.
Further reports Of the Ambassadors
London speech do not differ at all from
the first report as to the matters con-
corning which I complained 1t reflects
the American view only in one particu-
lar, and that is that we rejoice in the
prosperity of the British Empire, as 1t
might be said that we rejoice in the
prosperity Of any country on the globe.
But il does not reflect the idea of the
American people in so far as he under
takes TO announce new Monroe Doc
trine and I'm so far as he undertakes to
discuss the construction of the Panama
Canal for the greater benefit Of Great
Britain. than that which, ii was hoped
under an American policy, would have
been derived of the United States in us
construction, control and operation.
Il think it might be said with absolute
truth that if the Congress of the United
States had any idea that the United
States would not have the right to con-
troll the canal in such way as they saw
fit and to grant, If they pleased, free
massage TO American coastwise vessels,
not a dollar ever would have been APP
propriated either for the purchase OF the
Canal Zone, for the construction OF the
canal or for its fertilization"

MYSTERY IN DESTINATION
OF SCOTT ART TREASURES
Lord Sackville's Agent Admits
Receiving 0ffers-Widener
Name Again Mentioned.
fBy Cable to The Tribune. ]

London, March IA good deal OF
mystery surrounds the reported sale of
the Sir John Murray Scott art collection
in Paris, though there seems to be some
reason to believe that the sale has been
effected, or will be soon. Lord Sackville
declines either to confirm or deny the re-
port. He says he has no information to
give, but Lord Sackv'lle's agent in Paris
acknowledges that there have been Of
fers made The price he gives, however,
is not 100000. but $1,400,00O, which
seems more in accordance with what Is
known of the contents of the collection
in Paris.
The Paris art objects belonging to Sir
John were stored i'm an apartment in the
Rue LATTE, and though they were never
catalogued. the chief treasures are under
stood to consist of a splendid series OF
Boucher tapestries, some remarkable
pieces of French sculpture and a quantity
Of fine French furniture.
The sale last June Of all Sir Johns Lon
don art treasures and French decorative
objects, including four panels OF Beauvais
tapestry, which realized 100000, brought
a total Of S417 900. while the pictures, Of
which the chief was a Vatican "Fete
Champetre." bought for 1910 sold for
total Of $4,000.
Many attempts have been made TO buy
the Paris collection, one by jacques Selig-
mann. who offered several million francs,
and another from syndicate Of dealers.
Mr.. Seligmann considers the Scott collec-
ton one OF the finest now open for pur-
chase II Is understood that both his
offer and that of the syndicate are below
the Widener bid. IL is believed that Mr..
Widener, who, 1t is understood, is con-
Quoting his own negotiations. will prob
ably secure tire collection.

glass on the ground floor of the London
residence Of Reginald McKenna. Home
Secretary in the Asqulth Cabinet. The
six women arrived in an automobile and
took by surprise the policemen who kept
continued guard over the homes Of the
Cabinet ministers All of those who took
part in the attack were arrested, how
ever, as they were leaving. Mr. McKenna
had left town for the weekend the day
before.
The six women, who mostly gave false
names, were later in the day charged at
Westminster police court and each was
sentenced TO two months imprisonment
with hard labor. The policemen who had
been on guard at Mr. McKenna's residence
testified that the prisoners had crept
stealthily in Indian file by the side OF the
wall and had then made a rush for the
windows

name of Boadicea, said in court: Il
wouldn't have given much for him mean-
