notice, again took society by surprise
week ago Saturday by having her
marriage quietly celebrated at Brook

of the Mexican difficulties and the
possibility that Lieut.. Taylor might be

wedding was solemnized then instead
OF in September. Only members Of the
immediate families we're present.
Miss Whiting followed the seasons
fad of choosing a hat and garden
frock Instead of the usual satin and
tulle veil Her marriage was an out
door affair, and the costume fitted in
charmingly with the picture. The
gown was entirely of white, unre-
lieved by even suggestion OF color,
but not so with the wedding bouquet.
She carried magnificent shower of
orchids that shaded rom the palest
lavender to the deepest mauye. Gar
denias were combined with the or.
chids.
Lieut.. and Mrs. Taylor have kept

in Event Of Strike
New England Factories May
Suffer Through Shortage of
Raw Materials

Boston, Aug. 3o-An embargo was
placed on freight today by virtually every
railroad line in New England in view of
the threatened strike Of trainmen on La
Dor Day. The Boston & Albany while
| not declaring an embargo sent out word
that freight would be accepted subject
to delay
| The Boston & Maine made its embargo
| effective at O'Clock this afternoon but
stated that it would move all traffic
necessary for food supplies with the
| greatest possible dispatch, giving partic-
| ular attention to shipments of milk. ice
| and other necessities. The order applies
| also to it's leased lines.
| The New York, New Haven g. Hart
ford Railroad announced Its embargo last
night and the Maine Central gave similar
| notice today.
The Grand Trunk, a Canadian road, al
| though not involved in the controversy
| affecting the American lines announced
| tonight that It would accept freight SUBJ

creased traffic 1t would carry should the

War Supplies Held up
Should New England freight service be
brought to standstill the effect would
be International. Heavy contracts tor
war supplies for the Allies remain to be
filled and there is scarcely factory town
in this manufacturing section that Is not
shipping daily great quantities Of NUM-
| tions and necessities for the warning

! So heavy has been the shipment OF
these supplies through New England that
new steamship company, the France
and Canada. placed a line IN operation
between this port and France with two
sailings weekly. handling war goods al
most exclusively.
AS virtually all the raw material Tor
New England factories has to be brougnt
from other sections Of the country, main
ly by mail, many thousand factory hands
faced the prospect Of being idle through
the shortage of material While some OF
the larger concerns have managed to lay
IN a stock Of raw materials which may
tide them over until freight once more
moves freely, the congestion on all the
railroad lines has been so great that
many factories, 1t was reared tohlsn''
will find themselves facing an carry
shortage Of goods.
Another serious problem facing the rail-
roads is the moving of a vast host OF va
cationists. New England has been called
the summer playground Of the nation
and this year the shore. mountain and
lake resorts are entertaining their great
est crowds, largely because so many VINO
ordinarily spend the summer abroad have
been forced to seek their recreation and
rest at home. Newspaper offices have re-
ce,ved many requests from these vaca-
tionsts as to their prospects OF getting
home.

people have surrounded the Lima jail

The sheriff is reported unable to

street corner, where a rope was placed
around his neck and thrown over a

knocked down and kicked until sever

than 100 automobiles. Ely was placed

The entire motor fire department
was called, but arrived too late to save
Ely from the mob. Driving three

$4,000 of
Troops to
Comeback

Washington. Aug. 3o-Orders for
the return to their state mobilization
camps Of $4,000 national guardsmen
now on the Mexican border were is
sued tonight by the war department.
General Funston was directed to re-
turn three regiments from New York,
two from New Jersey, two from Illi-
nois, two from Missouri and one each
from California. Oregon, Washington
and Louisiana.
Secretary Baker announced the order
after a conference with President Will
son at the White House. Earlier in
the day the department had ordered
to their home station 5000 regular coast
artillery men who have been serving
as infantry on the border.
The secretary's statement said:
In view Of the fact that substan-
TALLY this number Of troops who have
not done patrol duty on the border
are now on their way there, 1t is felt
that this number can be spared. In
few days, if transportation facilities
remain undisturbed. the department
intends to order home some more reg
iments, and possibly to replace them
with troops now in their mobilization
camps in the several states"

Washington, Aug. 30.-All
the influence of the administra-

in an effort to persuade the
railroad brotherhood leaders to
cancel or postpone the order call
ing a nationwide strike Monday
while leaders in Congress began
paving the way for legislation
designed to prevent or stop the
threatened industrial catastro-
phe. Little tangible progress
was made in either direction, but
in official quarters tonight, there
still prevailed confidence that in
one way or another the walkout
would be averted.

Serious Views

The undercurrent of feeling report

rhe would be averted was not re-

Reply by Employees

To the spokesman of President Will
son who approached them all of the
brotherhood officials gave the same re-
ply-that they had no power to recall
"a satisfactory settlement" could keep
their men at work after Z a. m. Labor
Day. Further pressure will be brought
to bear and as a last resort the Pres
ident is considering a public appeal to
the men themselves to have the order
rescinded. Apparently the legislation
which is being counted upon to stay
the brotherhoods is that part Of the
Presidents program which would fix
an eight-hour day for railroad employ
es engaged in operating trains in in
terstate commerce, and provide for an
investigation of its effects by COM
mission or board.
Features of Original Plan
This enbodies the principal features
of the Presidents original plan, ac-
cepted by the trainmen, and w. G..
Lee, head of the trainmen, said to-
night that its enactment with guar
antee of the present rate Of daily pay
would be regarded by the brotherhood
leaders as a satisfactory settlement"
Immediately upon its becoming a law,
he said, the brotherhood leaders would
send out the code message notifying
general chairmen that the strike or
der should not go into effect.
Even some of the congressional leaders
who oppose other features Of the program
say such a law could be passed.
Revenue Bill Sidetracked
The Senate virtually sidetracked the
emergency revenue bill for an all-day
debate on the crisis. while the interstate
commerce committee arranged for hear
ings beginning at o'clock tomorrow
morning, when representatives OF both
sides will be heard. Then the committee
will begin drafting legislation into shape
for presentation to the Senate Saturday.
One dominant thought IN the minds OF
members Of Congress generally resulted
in the introduction late In the day Of q
resolution by Senator Blair Lee Of Ma
ryland calling upon officials Of the rail-
road brotherhoods to postpone execution
Of the strike order for one week to give
CONGRESS sufficient time for intelligent
consideration of legislation suggested in
President Wilson's message The resofu-
ton was referred to the interstate COM
merce committee without discussion.
Opinion in the Senate, after the general
debate. concentrated on the urgent ne
cessity for emergency action, first: pro-
posals for permanent legislation to be
considered thoroughly after danger OF
an immediate tieup had been passed. This
eentinent was forcibly expressed on the
floor and echoed in conferences OF House
leaders.
Committee Postpones Action

tee discussed the proposed legislation
late in the day, but postponed action
until after tomorrow's hearings. In the
