MOVIE MARRIAGE
ON THE NEW YORK
Secretary Daniels Permits
Ceremony, but 1t Mag
Not Take.

The battleship New York had the
| privilege yesterday OF acting as a mar
| riage altar. when the Rev. Albert Dale
Gantz. pastor of the Williamsbridge
Presbyterian Church. OBLIGATED at the
wedding OF Miss Gertrude Cameron. a
moving picture actress. and Herbert Van
Loan, also connected with the moving
picture industry.
Mr.. Gantz explained before the ccre-
mony that the bride was a m of
the congregation OF an old friend OF his
and she had desired TO be married
on board a battlesh!p for much the
same romantic reasons hat other young
ladies' have desired TO be married in
balloons n diving bells and flying
machines. She applied to ..cretary
Daniels for the requisite permission and
he gave co%untenance to the event
Tho bridal party arrived a little late
in one OF the New York's p%lnlaces, and
brought with them an efficient moving
picture outfit. This. ho1 ever. was
doomed TO disusc, the powers that were
of the ship Directing. The ceremony
took place in a small apartment some
whore on the port. or. as Secretary Dan
iels prefers it. left hand side Of the
ship.
There is. however. a possible rift in
the lutte. II should he remembered that
the ceremony took place upon the port
side OF the ship, because thereon hangs
a problem of some interest. The New
York lay with her stem pointing up
stream. Now, the dividing Inc between
the state Of New York and the State
of New Jersey is somewhere in the
middle OF the Hudson River and the
. New York VS. moored about the middle
of the stream. Which Is to say that the
port side Of the ship was in the state
of New Jersey, while the stdrhoard
side only was In the state of New York.
Now. AS was pointed out to the Rev.
Mr.. Gantz. the wedding took place under
II license issued IN and by the State
of New York. Hence, the question
arises. has the State of New York any
right to issue licenses for weddings
which are to take place in the sovereign
state Of New Jersey? For that matter,
is a cabin In a United States ba,tleship
rightly considered part of any part.Cu-
lar State at all? Is II not rather an
outlying colony or dependency of the
Federal Government and. AS such. above
the control of any individual State at
all?
All these and similar problems pro-
pounded to the Rev. Mr.. Gantz had the
effect upon him that De decided 10 look
into the matter and If he should deem
1t necessary perform the ceremony again
after the happy party were once again
landed on the shores OF Manhattan.
Meanwhile the wedding party. Cheersd
by the sweet strains of n hastily gath
cred band, made a short tour OF inspec-
ton over the ship, pronounced II both
ute and cunning, and departed in an
other p%innacc to the Nincty-siNth street
landing

Wait Hours to Cheer Him.

Then the secret service men and the
police had things In hand again, and
tho President walked into the Hotel
Biltnore with plenty of room for walk
ing. although there too crowds waited
to cheer him. When he came out Of the
hotel three hours later he found Van
derbilt avenue damned full OF people, the
Grand Central Stations elevated road
way holding the population OF IA small
town and Madison and Fifth avenues
full of persons whiting to catch a
glimpce of him and to raise a cheer,
But this later demonstration came
after luncheon. Before going up to the
cascade room of the Biltmore on the
nineteenth floor for lunch. the Presi-
dent rested in "A room on the eighteenth
moor There he received a call from
Cornelius Vanderbilt. there he got word
from Washington that other dispatches
had arrived quoting newspapers abroad
as saying that Germany's suggestion
will be arbitration OF the difficulties
arising from the sinking OF the
Lusitania. There was nothing to an
nounce as a result OF these messages,
said Secretary Tumulty.
When the luncheon hour came the
President walked into the big room on
the nineteenth floor to the orchestra's
strains of THE Star Spangled Banner"
At the speakers table he found himself

for me TO make many remarks, but

pleasure in being here. my gratitude
for the splendid reception which has
been accorded me as the representative
of the nation and my profound inter-
est in the navy OF the United States.
THAT is an interest with which I
was apparently born. for II began
when ! was a younsstcr and was
ripcned with my knowledge Of the
affairs and policies of tho United
States. | think it is the natural
instructive judgment Of the people OF
the United States that they express
their power appropriately in an ei'i-
Client navy, and their interest is partly.

is expected To express their character

character is understood, bur outside
our borders, where ii is hoped We may
occasionally touch others with some
slight vision OF what America stands
for.

I'm recent years it has become the
fashion among many fruit experts and
writer's to knock the Ben Davis ap-
pie, despite the fact that the Ben
Davis, next to the Baldwin, has made
more money for the fruit-growers Of
the country than any other variety. In
many sections Of the United States IL
continues to be the leading. most
widely known and most popular ap-
pie. The Ben Davis, as a baking fruit,
is second TO none on the apple list.
An orchard of this variety will
come into bearing quicker and pro-
duce more consistently than nine
tenths Of the more generally exploited
kinds. IL will stand more thumps and
rough handling than any other sort
without showing signs of decay
The Ben Davis is the best keeper.
barring none, in the entire apple list.
The quality Of the Ben Davis. while
not the best, Is Of sufficient merit to
keep it well to the front When placed
on the market, thoroughly matured.
this variety will hold its own with all
comers. II Is one Of the finest look
ing apples when we'll grown and prop
erly packed. The tree Is one OF
medium size, a strong and healthy
grower. that seldom breaks under the
heaviest weight Of fruit. The Ben
Davis, according to government re-
ports, still is the most popular apple
grown south of the Baldwin region
Not a bad list of recommendation
for an apple that is frequently held up
to contempt and many nurseries
strongly advise against plantiug.-Y.

PANAMA, July 16.-The American

proceeded through the waterway in
the order named
The ships were locked into Gatun
lake last night, from which point the
trip was resumed at 10 o'clock this
morning. Along the entire route the
occasion was regarded as gala one.
The canal vessels were decorated with
flags and soldiers who lined the west
bank in the vicinity Of the army
camps exchanged noisy greetings with
the jackies on the battleships
At Pedro Miguel an unusual spec
tacle was witnessed when the Missouri
and Ohio locked through together in
opposite chambers.
No stop was made at Balboa, the
squadron putting to sea bound for
San Diego Cal
The Panama government was not
represented because the trip Of the
squadron was an unofficial one, but
President Porras and Erncsto Lefevre,
Panaman minister of foreign affairs,
were invited to be present. They
were unable to attend, however.
Major General George w. Goethals,
governor of the Panama canal zone,
was unable to be aboard the Missouri
owing to press Of work, but he was
represented by Lieutenant Colonel
Harding. General Goethals was an
interested spectator when the ships
were locked through Pedro Miguel
and Miraflores. William j. Price.
