0YATL()NS TO
PRINCESS SMARY
AND LASCEL.LE'S
Londoners of Every Class
Join In Cele-
bratiOn
IMPOSING SPECTACLE
Princess Appears Nervous as Cere-
mony Begins-tiroom's Answers Are
Clear and Distinct.

! London. March king George
gave his only daughter, Princess
Mary, in marriage to Viscount Las
COLES 1t was great national event
which will live long in the memories
of the vast throngs whose unre'
strained plaudits greeted England'S 5
princess as she passed through festive
streets to the altar in stately oid
estminster Abbey to become the
bride of an English commoner.
A bridal march within the walls
rich in royal associations and rltua.
witnessed by grand assemblage and
attended by the traditional splendors
that mark state occasions were the
more superficial features of the days
proceedings.
That which captivated an empires
imagination was the realization of a
dream much older than empires--the
marriage of a beautiful girl of exalted
rank to man of more humble station,
but of proven gallantry.
The testimony of genealogists that
through King Henry VII the bride
and bridegroom are both descended
from William the Conquercr in no way
minimized this romantic aspect o.
the affair.
In the joyous faces OF those crowd
ing either side of the gay route from
the palace to the sanctuary and IN
their tumulruous and prolonged out
bursts OF cheering and applause the
good will and approval OF a pageant
loving people, anxious to share IN the
happiness OF this notable day, We're
yividly displayed. Another source OF
the nations fluctuations was recltad
in the daily press, which exulted that
"this wedding does not link us with 2
foreign alliance that might prove II
future years unpopular r~,
This feeling was expressed in vari-
Gus other forms-"toda our princess
marries not foreign princellng, bat
an English gentleman, and hers is no
diplomatic alliance-the future CT
Europe involved in union contracted
for reasons of state"
But it was from the slums, wherever
they exist in London, that large pro-
portion OF the madly cheering thron2s
poured to acclaim the princess and
her husband. Among the richly.
earbed wedding guests in the abbey
were half dozen representatives OF
organized labor and their wives, bid
den at the instance Of the King.
The scenes OF regal pomp which
gave the ceremony it's theatrical ex-
cellence were most magnificent Lon
don has seen since the war, and the
first since that catastrophe wholly un-
marred with some tinge of tragedy.
There have been state openings II
Parliament, in which the King
and Queen in golden coaches with
gay escorts afforded bright spectacles,
but their glamor was shadowed by sin
lister news or vague fears of domestic
strife.
The happiness everywhere evident
among the street throngs was quite as
apparent in the abbey. 1t is doubtful
whether in it's centuries that edlilce
ever contained a more cheerful gath
ering.
The guests, however. were obliged
to confine their appreciation to well
coming smiles as the bride, in silver
with long flowing veil and train held
by two of her attendants, passed
gracefully down the scarlet-ecarpet
ed aisle on the arm Of the King.

Rev. f. V. REGISTER, D. D., Presi-
dent and Members of the Alexandria
Ministerial Association, Alexandria,
Va.
Gentlemen:
Receipt of your letter of Feb.
%, 1929, is acknowledged It has al
ways been and is now my purpose to
have a full and complete grand jury
investigation of the divorce situation
in Alexandria at the earliest possible
time.
1t is, however, due the Bar Associa-
tion committee who have contributed
much time and labor to their invcati-
cation to allow them to complete the
same.
Members of that committee who
have examined the records and situa-
tion would be very proper witnesses
to go before grand jury, and their
knowledge would be complete.
There is hearing before that com.
mittee the lattr part of this month,
and the writer personally desires and
will insistupon appearing before the
committee and making a statement,
which will probably be in the week
following.
The writer hopes the committee viii
shortly and completely repgt
A grand jury should have full and
ample time to investigate, and the
short period remaining for the Feb
ruarv term would not be sufficient, but
the March term (of one month) he
gins March l3, 1922, about which
time a grand jury may certainly be
expected, and it is the earnest desire
Of the writer that you cooperate for
a full, fair and impartial inevstiga-
ton. Yours truly,
ROBINSON MONCURE,
Judge of the Corporation Court, Al.
cxand:ia, Va.

According to figures complied by ma
val experts, it Is estimated that
s5,0OO,OO0, will be saved to the
United States during the next Is
years through the adoption of the
Hughes plan for the limitation OF
naval armaments.
These figures are based upon esti-
mates of savings to be accomplished
through the scrapping of 80 capital
ships, the abandonment of the policy
of building 2 new capital ships yea,
the economy effected by abandonment
of work on new dreadnaughts
and battle cruisers and by the cessa-
ton of work on naval bases and other
shore establishments. The estimate
Of $4,000, 100000 takes no account CT
radical increases in the cost of capital
ship construction or of the possibility
Of some extraordinary development in
the competition in armaments Which
might induce the United States to
exceed the two-ship-a-year program
hitherto advocated by many naval
strategists as necessary to maintain
the American fleet in its proper posi-
tion in face of competition from Great
Britain and Japan.

Hanford P MacNider, commando.
of the American Legion, and john
Thomas Taylor. legislative agent Of
the Legion. had conference with
President Harding over the bonus
matter yesterday. At the conclusion
of the meeting, Mr.. Taylor said:
"We had very plea SAINT and salts
factory talk with the President He
assured US of his deep interest in the
American Legion and in the ex-servicc
men and said that he would do every
thing he could to- help them. We are
assured that there will be no unnccnS-
sary delay in the passage of bonus
legislation through Congrss."
"Did the President give YOU such
assurance?" Taylor was asked.
"No he did not" was the reply, and
upon being pressed as to the authority
for such assurance the Legislative
agent simply repeated that ne was
confident there would be no delay.
Chairman Fordney, of the Ways
and Means Committee, and Represent.
ative "Nick" Longwo.th, Of Ohio, a
member of the committee, are in a
clash over the bonus matter. Long
worth openly charNas that Fordney
has been shifting with every wind that
blew on the bonus and that it mas
been Fordney's inaction and lack of
mental stamina that has got the Re-
publican members into the hole out of
which they find it hard TO eXtricata
themselves. There are charges that
Fordney frequently has broken faith
with his own colleagues on the conf
mittee, committing himself to ore
course one day and another on the
following day.
The feud between the two members
came to a head today when Chairman
Fordney. with Majority Leader Mon
dell of the House, another whose posi-
tion on the bonus has been different
about every second day, went to see
the President, in the hope of persuad-
ing him to accept bonus bill without
a revenue producing feature. When
Longworth learned of this, he made
an appointment with the President,
and it is understood he urged the
President not to follow the suGges-
tions of either Fordney or Mondell
Isaac Gregg.

RETURNS WITHOUT PRISONER
Man Wanted Here for Child Desertion
Released In Arkansas.

Sheriff Robert Miller returned today
from Little Rock, Ark, minus Joseph
Fleming, the man he went to get on
a warrant charging child desertion
and bringing a letter of regret from
the governor of Arkansas. in lieu of
the prisoner.
Miller went to get Fleming who is
being sued for divorce by his wife,
Mrs Mary L. Fleming, of Topeka. and
who@is also charged by his wife with
having deserted her and their five
children, several years ago, and to be
living with another woman in Little
Rock.
When he arrived at the capital OF
Arkansas the sheriff found that his
man had been arrested, and thru
some error had been taken before a
municipal court, and released on his
own recognizance. The governor
honored Miler's requisition, thinking
that Fleming was IN the custody of
the sheriff of the county in which the
capital is located.
Fleming wasn't in anybody's GUS
tody. He had left the state. His at
torney claims that he has papers prov
ing that he was divorced from Mrs.
Mary L. Fleming, fifteen years ago,
and paid all the alimony which he
was ordered to pay.
The governor sent a letter of regret
to Sheriff Miller. saying that the at
torney for Fleming had promised to
produce him for a hearing October IL.
