These railroad presidents and other

BRYAN URGES BALLOT

Senator Bryan's motion to suspend
the rules and permit legislation in
connection with the postoffice bill on
the subject OF increasing second class
rates has caused sharp division OF
sentiment among Senators.
The newspapers and magazines OF
the land, moreover, are aroused over
the attempt to force higher mail
rates upon them at a time when high
prices of paper are a serious burden
on publications.
Several hours debate developed
yesterday afternoon on the Bryan
motion to suspend the rules. II re-
quires a two-thirds vote, and there is
doubt whether such a vote can be
had.

Clerks Believe Lower Body will
Refuse Salary Cut Proposed
BY Senate.
DISLIKE SM00T AMENDMENT
Representatives Virtually In
struct conferees to Stand Pat
on Original Plan.

Government clerks who are harass-
ed by the high cost OF living have
a right to feel encouraged today over
the apparent determination OF the
House not to accept the lower salary
increases proposed by the Senate in
the legislative, executive and judicial
bill and the District of Columbia
appropriation bill. The House has
virtually instructed its conferees on
the District budget to stand out for
the following salary increase, which
Is considerably higher than that pro-
posed by the Senate, namely:
A 10 per cent increase for al Dis
trict employees receiving less than
81 200 a year.
A per cent increase for employees
receiving from 81 zoo to 81 800 in
elusive.
Want Amendment Rejected.
This action on the District bill is
indicative of the attitude Of the
House on other appropriation bills
which carry salary provisions for
Government employees. In voting on
the District bill the House in effect
has informed the conferees on the
legislative bill that the Smoot amend
ayers for the lower body. Both the
legislative and District budgets are
in conference and contain the so-call-
ed Smoot amendments, approved by
the Senate. providing a lower increase
as follows:
Material Variations.
ALB per cent increase for employees
receiving $3.50 per year and less and
a 10 per cent increase for employees
receiving from $3.50 to $1,000 year.
Although the original House pro-
posaI, as included in the legislative
bill, was not all the Government
clerks had hoped for and asked for.
the House raise is considerably more
than than proffered by the Senate
and affects many more employees.
House Measure Better.
There are comparatively few en-
ployes receiving less than $3.50 per
year. consequently the Is per cent
Senate raise-while it seems gener-
! ous-would affect very few Govern
ment employees and, of the two pro-
| positions as they are now presented,
| dhat offered by the House is far more
attractive. and would be far more
helpful to the rank and file OF the
clerks.
There was practically no opposition
to the motion that the House stand
out for the larger increase, and tho
conferees on the District bill were
| instructed on a viva voce vote.

PAGE-BOLAND WEDDING.

A romance, which in its shadings
beautifully demonstrates the clever
witchery of Cupid, eliminated in the
marriage of Miss Ninaleigh Boland
of Little Mountain, S. c., and Mr..
John l.. Page, of Gastonia, N. c.,
which was solemnized in the First
Presbyterian church Friday evening
at $50 o'clock.
DIR. E. A. Caldwell conducted a
beautiful service in the presence of
the immediate friends and relatives.
The wedding plans were beautifully
simple and quiet. There were no
attendants.
1t will be recalled that only three
weeks ago the same names were
grouped in another wedding an
nouncement in the press-Page-Bo-
land being that of Miss Gertrude
Boland, sister of the bride, and Mr..
Grover Page, cartoonist of The Ten
nessean and American, brother of this
groom. It was at this marriage that
the parties in this wedding announce
ment first met.
Miss Boland extended her visit to
another sister here, Mrs. F. M. Mil
saps, where Mr.. Page visited her, and
where Cupid registered the beautiful
love story.
The bride on this occasion wore
stylish travelling gown of blue cloth
with a corsage bouquet of sweet
heart roses. Mr.. and Mrs. j. L. Page
left after the ceremony to visit the
brides family at Little Mountain, S.
c., after which they will go to his
home in Gastonia, N. c., where lie is
prominent in business and social cir
Tennessean.
The bridegrooms are grandsons of
Mrs. Fannie Anderson and nephews
of Mrs. l.. B. Carnes and Mrs. j. S.
Warren and are both fine young
men. Grover Page, the cartoonist,
spent awhile III Atlanta some time
ago and often visited his relatives
here Beside being talented he is a
very handsome man.
