Present at Y cry
Quiet Ceremony

q OUP)-Miss Anne Morrow
and Col. Charles A. Lindbergh
were married at 4 D. M. to-
day at the Morrow home here.
The couple left Immediately
in a meter car for an un-
announced destination.
Only immediate members OF tbs
family attended the ceremony. Miss
Morrow was not attended by any
bridesmaid and Lindbergh had
no best man it was said by the
secretary CT Ambassador Dwight
W. Morrow after the ceremony.
The secretary said he was not
authorized by AmbasE adOr Morrow
to reveal where the newly mar
ried couple would spend their
honeymoon.
The announcement came so I'M
expectedly as TO catch friends Of
the family and neW5papermen off
guard. There had been no signs
of unusual activity at the home
of the MorrCWS, but there was no
intimation that the ceremony was
to take place this afternoon.
1t had been rumored for several
weeks that the arrival OF AmbaS-
sador Morrow from Mexico City
would be followed closely by the
announcement of the date and
and place for the welding.
Most friends Of the family, how
ever, believed elaborate prepara-
ton would be made and that
large number Of prominent guests
would he invited to the ceremony.
It was considered possible that
Lindbergh and his bride may be
en- route to the MC~roW summer
home at North Haven, Me. a Sc
heretofore had believed the we'd
ding might be held
The ambassador however, re-
manned as silent as his Son-in-law
about the wedding plans. When
met at the train yesterday, he
gave no intimation that the we'd

luly I-1thing to say"

This new hotel will be a distinct
addition to Las Vegas in a field
where there is now, and is GER
tain to be in the future, a great
need, it has been pointed out. Ever
since the Boulder Dam measure

pressing need for added units in

legged to be due to Mrs. Delkin.
ra-c people called in squads pres
enting the notices and demanding
explanations. None CT them were
indebted in any amount to Mrs.
Delkin as she carries on a strictly
cash business and she never at any
time placed any accounts in the
hands of any collection bureau.
Investigation by Mrs Delkin in
dicetes that some unscruplous Sc
licitor for the credit bureau had
turned in a list of fictitious ac-
counts for the purpose of collecting

The United States Credit Bureau
on being notified of the matter
wired today to Mrs. Delkin stat
ing that they will write letters CT
apology to all these to whom the
