avenue, where they had breakfast and
met close friends of the family and
relatives. The plan, according to
what information was given, was for
the couple to leave during the after
noon. and 1t is understood they went
by automobile to Ruxton, Nd, the
home of Senator and Mrs. Bruce,
where they will remain until their de-
parture for New York in time to sail
Wednesday for Rome. Mr.. Bruce has
just received his appointment as the
American vice consul at Rome and
has engaged an apartment there.
AS far as public interest was con-
cerned in the wedding, much Of 1t
centered about the gifts to the couple,
but the strictest secrecy concerning
this phase Of the affair was main
tanned. Not only because Of the high
position in official life Of Miss Mellon
and Mr.. Bruce, but because Of the
social prominence of both Of them.
the gifts were probably many and
costly, but no details concerning them
were allowed to become public. The
cabinet present was q silver tray,
3 feet long and appropriately en-
graved "A. NJ" in the center, the
date Of the marriage and the names
Of the donors. It was also known
that the Pennsylvania delegation and
the Maryland delegation in Congress
chose two beautiful gifts, the nature
Of which was not divulged.
The wedding yesterday was the
most interesting social event wit
messed in Washington in many years
and the interest Of the public was
plainly manifest in the crowds which
swarmed about the streets leading to
the Pan-American Union and the
Cathedral, drawn there in the hope Of
obtaining o. fleeting glimpse Of the
prominent principals.

VA|NLY SEEK TRACE
Of MRS. MCPHERSON
Followers Sure Evangelist
Drowned, But Minute
Search Is Planned.
By the Associated Press.

BY the ASsoclatco Frees'
LOS ANGELES, May 2s.--The spirit
Of Mrs. Aimee sennple Mcpherson.
evangelist and self-styled healer, who
disappeared at the beach May 1S, is
expected to fill her church, Angelus
Temple, here tomorrow with jam of
followers that will overtop any previ-
Gus attendance when the woman
preacher occupied the pulpit.
"She was drowned and is with her
God" has become almost a slogan
among temple worshippers, despite
the fact that officials here are quietly
laying plans to set in motion Monday
one Of the most minute investigations
ever attempted in Il reported miss
ing" case.
Two salient facts stand out from
the mass Of rumorS and maze Of re-
ports which have accumulated since
Mrs. Mcpherson dropped from sight.
One is that she went to the beach and
the other that no person has admitted
seeing her return to the temple.
The last person known to have seen
her alive is Miss Emma Schaeffer,
her secretary. who says that Mrs.
Mcpherson went down into the water
and did not come back.
Life guards at the beach where the
evangelist last was seen said today
that they had the greatest difficulty
in obtaining from Miss Schaeffer the
identity of the woman whom the secs
retary said had been drowned.
Today few of Mrs. McPherson's
followers. led by her mother, Mrs.
Minnie Kennedy. again scanned the
tumbling surf fruitlessly for a body.
1t is II days since the evangelist
disappeared. Mrs. McPherson's
divorced husband. Harold 8. Nc
Pherson Of Ocah, Fla. telegraphed
the Los Angeles police today offer
ing his services in any effort made
to clear UP the mystery.
The authorities would not say
whether they are seeking Kenneth G..
Ormiston, former radio broadcaster
in the station maintained by Mrs.
Mcpherson, to question him again.
Miss Sylvia Oberman told the police
she could identify the man whom
she had seen on the beach talking
to the evangelist.
Ormiston was reported to have
been In Salinas, Calf, moro than 500
miles from here, early today, driv-
ing with a young woman who later
was thought to be nurse Of Salinas.
Detectives reported that they did not
find Mrs. Mcpherson at the ranch
Of James Pleasant, at Winters, Yolo
County, where the missing evange-
lists 13-year-old son, Rolph, is Nv-
ing.
Mrs. Pleasant believes the sea

SCHOOL FIRE RAzEO
APPEALS FOR AID.
Funds Asked to Rebuild Ma
tionaI Training Building
for CoIored Girls.

An appeal has been made for con-
tributions by individuals. business and
other organizations and churches in
Washington to a fund for rebuilding
the National Training School for
Women and Girls, at Fiftieth and
Grant streets northeast, which was
almost destroyed by fire Wednesday
afternoon. The damage to the struc-
ture and contents is estimated at more
than $4,000.

dent Of the institution, who has de-
voted is years Of service to the train.
ing school and the colored women
and girls who receive care and train
ing there. points out in her appeal for
funds with which to rebuild the school
only $4,000 insurance was carried on
funds of the school, which now
throws itself upon the generosity of
the public in order that it's work may
be continued, did not permit it to car
~ more than this amount OF insur-
ance, the president says.
Wednesdays fire almost destroyed
the frame building which contained
the student dormitories. the presi-
dents and teachers quarters, the
chapel, Offices. music rooms, dining
room and kitchen.
"In this dark hour. God and our
friends are our only refuge" says the
school president in her appeal. 1--WE
need immediate help. We send out
this appeal to friends. organizations
and churches of every determination.
/ am sending it to all, because during
my entire public career have worked
not for this school alone. but I have
given myself without reserve to the
cause Of all worthy organizations,
my own race. and America"
It is believed that restoration of the
frame structure would be imprac-
ticable and it is hoped that sufh-
cient fund can be raised to permit the
erection Of a more substantial struc-
ture.
Contributions may be sent to The
Evening Star, which will acknowledge
in it's columns all contributions; to the
Washington Loan and Trust Co, or
to the school itself.

Game Officials Devise
Plan for Shipping Elk

The Wyoming game authorities are
devising a plan to ship elk by railroad,
"but without so much as the loss of
an animals life"
Game commissioners recently re-
ceived offers from Missouri and Ne.
braska to "swap" ~pheasants for Wyo-
ming elk. No definite action on the
trades has been taken by the depart
ment. Other states. it is expected,
will also make requests for elk.
Railroad transportation of elk means
losses among the animals, which are
easily frightened and fall down or
are trampled upon in the freight cars
during the journey, in the opinion of
Mr.. Sanders. "The elk tossed about
during a railroad journey often die of
a broken heart" he asserts, ~"leaving
their native habitant of mountain
wilds and undergoing the experiences
of the rail trip. is a terrible shock to
their sensitive and v natures.
In order to prevent the elk from
becoming frightened when shipped by
railroad, it is planned to divide the
freight car into four compartments,
each to contain five elk. Tarpaulins
will be thrown over the ends of the
compartments next to the doors of
the car, sc rs to prevent the elk from
observing passing objects while the
train is moving and becoming fright
ened. Enough space for air ventila-
ton would be left at the top of the
car above the tarpaulins. An attend
ant would ride the entire journey
with the elk in the doorway space
between the compartments to feed
and water the animals frequently.

Sportsmen Advocate
Open Season on Elk

The Sheridan County Rod and Gun
club, at its annual meeting held re-
Gently, unanimously went on record
as in favor of an open season of the
steadily increasing herds of elk in
the foothills of the Big Horn noun
tains, now believed to be so numer-
Gus as to be a n to the ranges.
If the recommendation of the rod
and gun club is accepted by the Wy
oming state game and fish commits
sion in July. it will be the first time
that the bars have been let down to
hunters of elk in Sheridan county
during more than the last decade, as
the elk have been protected in the
county since two carloads were
shipped from there to the Jackson
Hole region.
The total number of elk in Sheridan
county is now estimated to be be-
tween $500 and 5000 head.
