F FORMER W|FE'S
COUSIN BECOMES
PASTORS BRIDE
Ex-Ridge Street School Teach.
er Is Welded to Brooklyn
Clergyman.

Miss Mary Wilson Marshall. a
teacher in the Ridge Street School
for many years. was married last
Monday night to Rev. George v.
Wenner. pastor of the Christ
Lutheran Church, on East Nineteenth
street, New York city The mar
riage which was a very quiet affair
with only about twenty-five persons
present, was performed by Rev. Al
bert L. Thompson, rector of St.
Marks Episcopal Church, of this
city. It took place at the home OF
the brides sister-in-law, Mrs Will
lam Armstrong Marshall, AIS Bergen
avenue, Jersey City.
The honeymoon is being spent at
Haddon Hall, Atlantic City. Later
the couple will live at the Manhat-
tan Hotel, on Forty-second street,
New York, until 8 new home in the
vicinity of the church has been made
ready for them. So quietly were the
arrangements for the wedding made
that not even the persons in whose
home Mr.. Wenner boarded knew any
thing concerning it. They and other
friends of the couple received notices
of the marriage in yesterdays mail.
The BRIDE who is about fifty years
Cd. was a cousin of the first Mrs
Wenner, who died thirteen years ago.
While she always has been much in
the company OF the elderly clergy
man. their friends did not believe
that she regarded him as a prospec-
tive husband
Mr.. Wenner is seventy-one years OF
age and has been pastor of his pres
ent charge for forty-seven years. He
is very highly regarded by his parish
toner's, and while the neighborhood in
which the church is located is not a
fashionable one, many persons who
formerly lived there and moved away
after becoming prosperous return to
have their children baptized, and he
has solemnized marriages for three
generations of many families.
He is one of the foremost men in
Lutheran church circles belngo n the
executive comm ttee of the New Yo.k
and New Jersey synod and member
of the liturgical committee of the
General Synod of the Lutheran
Church. He also is a member of the
executive committee of the Fedora
tion of Churches of New York city
and of the board of managers of the
Federated Council of the Churches OF
Christ in America.
He is the father of the movement
looking towards the teaching of re-
liFion to the pupils of the public
schools after regular school hours,
and is the author of the book, RE
ligious Education and the Public
Schools and many related volumes.
Mrs. Wenner boarded at the home
of Frank H Hanson. principal Of the
Burnet Street School, 141 Heller park
way, until last Monday. She retired
from teaching about year ago, and
since has been engaged in work for
the Bureau of Associated Charities.

Catholic Tribunal Reported to

PARIS, Feb. 10.-The Rota tribunal

marriage to Anna Gould. now the
Duchess of Talleyrand. according to
a special dispatch from Rome. Argu-
ments in the third trial of the case
We're closed yesterday. after which the
court announced its decision.
Count de Castellane's appeal to the
Vatican courts for the annulment of
his marriage TO Anna Gould has been
pending since 1910. Under the &C.
clesiastic judicial system before a re-
lig.ous marriage is annulled the case
must be heard three times by the
Rota Tribunal. each time by three
different judges, and two decisions
must favor a contestant before the
Judgment is final In the Castellane
case the present Duchess OF Talley-
rand has won two of these decisions.
If the count had been successful in
obtaining annuiment of the religious
marriage he would have been enabled
to marry again. Under the French
law he would have obtained possess
sion of their three children, who
were given into the custody of their
mother when she secured a divorce
in the Paris courts on November IA.

DISCUSSES
! CHARTER REVISION
WITH DUERMANN
City Counsel and Commission
Govt Advocate Reach No
Definite Result.

The meeting of Mayor Raymond's
Charter Revision Commission, held in
the CITY Hall last night, was marked
by discussion between City Counsel
Frazer and DR.. William Buermann,
who last year championed the COM
mission form of government. DR..
Buermann, who was given the floor
just before the commission adjourned,
recommended that instead of sael<ing
a new city charter the members of
the commission seek the amendment
of the Walsh commiss on government
statute making 1t more adaptable TO
the needs of large cities. He admit
ted that the act possessed certain
faults, but said that these could be
easily eliminated without further in
terfering with the laws purpose.
City Counsel Frazer said that he
DID not think that the commission
should take such a course Urging
that Newark should have a charter
entirely It's own. independent OF the
general statute. he thought that the
commission should go ahead and pre-
pare for such a. law, with the great
est degree of home rule possible.
No action was taken on DR.. Buer-
rnann's remarks. and the commission
determined to await the public hear
ing to be Held February %, before
acting on the suggestions that have
been made. No further meetings will
be held until then.
A letter was received from an or
ganization known as the New Citi-
zens' League. of which former Su-
pervisor of Fairgrounds William J.
McKiernan is honorary president.
Nicholas Baccaro, president of the
association, writing the letter, urged
the commission, in the proposed char
ter, to make special provision for
Fairgrounds and their management
This letter was filed without discus
sion.
One of the changes in the proposed
draft of the charter was determined
on, 1t was announced. This will pro-
vide that the director of public works
shall be appointed by the five COM
missioners instead of by the mayor.
This was followed by a general dis
cuss' on of the election of the MEM
bers of the Common Council. Some
of the members of the commission
suggested that 1t might be better To
have a small council. elected at large,
but most of those who engaged In the
discussion held that the present sys-
tenn of ward representation should be
retained. All action ON this, as on
the other suggestions was left until
after the public hearing.

CHARGE BUTLER
WITH TRYING TO
POISON FAM|LY
Wife and Son of Telephone Co.
Head Made III by croton
Oil.

Isaiah S. Green, negro. forty
three years old, a butler in the home
of Union Noble Bethel. of go Upper
Mountain avenue. Montcla!r. was
committed to Jail today without bail
by Recorder Henry l.. Yost in the
Montclar Police Court on charge
of attempting to poison Mr.. Bethe'fs
wife and their eight-year-old son.
Mr.. Bethel is president of the New
York Telephone Company and also OF
the Montciair Board of Education.
The family was disinclined today to
discuss the case.
Mr.. Bethel said 1t seemed impos-
sible during the four months that
Green had been in his employ, to
keep the other servants. Three or
four had left his employ because
they could not get along with the
butler. Last week the cook. who had
been with the family long time,
gave notice to leave, and then Mrs
Bethel made an investigation.
She learned that the butler was the
cause of all the trouble She notified
Green that when his month was up
he could look for another position.
A few days later Mrs. Bethel and
her son became i'll. DR.. Martin j.
Synnott was called and an examina.
tion showed that they had been given
a poison. The cook told the physician
that she had overheard the butler
asking the chauffeur to bring him a
bottle of croton oil. This proved to
be true, but the chauffeur had not
gotten the oil.
A search in the pantry resulted in
a bottle of the oil being found and
DIR. Synnott said that the oil would
cause the illness complained of by
Mrs. Bethill and her son.
Both patients have now recovered
from their illness. Green was ar
rested last Friday and held on sus-
ricion while the Montcla'r police in
vest gated the matter ar d found the
rlace where Green purchased the oil.

The price of bread jumped one cent

big bakers increased the weight of

pies and cakes went up proportion

A few local bakers have been
charging the increased price for sew
eral days. and, although the whole
sale rate for bread was not increased
until this morning, some grocers took
advantage of the promised rise and
made their customers pay more Tor

ceeds by many hours any other OF
which there is record, the Senate to-
day showed no sign of an end to the
legislative struggle.
At 10 o'clock this morning the Sem
ate had been in continuous session
fortv-six hours-two days and two
nights. Senator Townsend, Republi-
can, had relieved Senator Sherman,
who had been talking since d. III,
opening the days assault on the ship

While Mr.. Townsend spoke fresh
forces on both sides of the chamber
relieved the tired. heavy-eyed scna-
tors. who had stood guard through
the night.
Many Break Under Strain.
Many senators had begun to break
under the physical strain of the fight.
Senator Pcnrose was compelled last
night to go to his hotel under the
care of a physician Others were
forced by physical exhaustion to re-
stire to their homes but plans of Sen
ate leaders were made to rush them
bac'y on short notice should their
votes be needed.
Twice during the night Republicans
and allied Democrats of the opposi-
tion vainly sought to adjourn the
Senate, hut administrations lines held
firmly. Majority Leader Kern assert
ed early In the dav that there would
be no let-up until the pending ques-
ton, at least, could be put to vote.

derstood, had not finally determined
to press this idea. but 1t is said to
have the support of a number of Re-
puhlicans in the Senate.
Mr.. Kitchin went to the White
House primarily to take up with the
president the views of members of the
ways and means committee that there
should be no extra session of Con-
gress.
He stated that position frankly to
the president but went away with the
impression that the president will in.
