WTTTt TITTY IP inn u u j. m If SOli I0DI. A FAMILY AFFAIR Ceremony at Gait Home Marked by Simplicity. DETAILS ARE KEPT SECRET Only Relatives of President and Hit Bride Are Present Start en Honey moon Trip to South Try to Avoid Crowds. Washington, Dec. 18. In the pres ence of relatives only, President Wil son and Mrs. Edith Boiling Gait were quietly and simply wedded this eve ning in the parlors of the bride's un pretentious home at 1308 Twentieth street. There was no fuss and feath ers, and official and social circles must wait for tomorrow's newspapers before they know how it all came i about. Secretary of the Treasury Mc Adoo was the lone official present and he was there simply as Mr. Wilson's son-in-law. Miss Bertha Boiling of this city at tended her sister, the bride, and a small orchestra from the Marine band furnished the nuptial music The bride wore a dark traveling costume and carried a huge bouquet of orchids. She met the bridegroom at the foot of the broad stairway in her home and together they went slowly to the altar of flowers erected at the east end of the parlors. The president placed on her third left-hand An ger a plain gold circlet engraved with her initials and his own. The cere mony was the utmost In simplicity and taste in keeping with the best American traditions. Keep Hour a Secret. In order to avoid the crowds of curi ous folk in Washington the hour of the wedding was kept secret until late in the day. The plan worked with fair success and the police had no trouble In handling the few hundred men, women and children who pressed eagerly In the streets near the Gait borne. As soon as the ceremony was over and the bride had been saluted by those present In the accustomed fash Ion, while the smiling groom received congratulations, the newly-weds sped away in a big White House automobile to the Union station and took a train to the South for their honeymoon. If they told anybody their destination that person kept his secret well. It is reported from family circles, how ever, that the couple will be away un tlll the first week in January. They must be back in Washington by January 7, though, because on that date the president and Mrs. Wilson will act as host and hostess at a great reception to be given in the White House for the Pan-American repre sentatives at the national capital. Moreover, congress will have recon vened, after the holiday season, and Mr. Wilson will have to be back at his desk. Only Relatives Are Present Among those present at the cere mony were: Miss Margaret Wilson, the president's eldest daughter; Mrs. Francis Bowes Sayre of Williams town, Mass., the, president's second daughter; Mrs. William G. McAdoo, the president's youngest child; Mrs. Anne Howe of Philadelphia, the presi dent's sister; Joseph R. Wilson of Bal timore, the president's brother, and Miss Helen Woodrow Bones, the pres ident's cousin. The bride, who before her marriage to Norman Gait was Miss Edith Boil ing of Virginia, was well represented with kinsmen and kinswomen. She and her mother, Mrs. William H. Boil ing, have lived together for several years, and Mrs. Boiling, of course, was the dowager queen of the occasion. The bride's sisters, Miss Bertha Boiling of Washington and Mrs. H. H. Maury of Anniston, Ala., and her brothers, John Rando'ipu Boiling, Richard W. Boiling, Julii n B. Boiling, ell of Washington; R.' E. Boiling of Panama and Dr. W. A. Boiling of Louisville, Ky., attended the cere mony. The president's bride Is a band some woman, unusually good to look CONDENSATIONS . "Penny" is really a survival of the English "pun," a corruption of "pound." Tbe heat units of the soldiers' ra tions as Issued today are as follows: Russia, 4,029; American, 4,199; French. 3.340; Britiah, 3,292; German, 3,147: Austrian, 2,620. Tho natives of Guatemala are ex pert toymakers, and . it is probable that they will get some of the busi ness formerly tcken care of .by Euro , pean nations upon, and for years she has been known as the most perfectly gowned woman in Washington, both because she has exquisite taste and because she has plenty of means to follow her taste in dress, tier gowns have al ways been chosen with rare care and she bought much from the fashionable costumers in Paris, where she was a frequent visitor before the war. Those who are In a position to know say the bride spent several months In the preparation of her trousseau, be ing aided in this important labor by her mother, who also Is a woman of extraordinary discernment. It was all complete, 'tis whispered, two weeks before the date of the wedding. Some controversy arose as to the origin of the gowns and frocks and linens and laces. There were stories to the ef fect that French supply houses balked at furnishing anything through the medium of German-American middle men. Most of the stories were base less, be it said truthfully, for the bride's wedding outfit was almost en tirely of American origin. Orchids Her Favorite. Dark green and orchid are the pre dominating hues In ' the trousseau gowns, for orchids are the new Mrs. Wilson's favorite flowers. There are traveling gowns, street frocks and eve ning gowns of amazing loveliness which will he seen much this winter, for the White House is to be re opened for a series of old-time enter tainments. The four great official re ceptions, which were omitted last win ter, will be resumed, and there will be matinee teas and frequent musicalcs. Mr. Wilson Is the sixth president of tbe United States to marry a widow. Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Fill more and Benjamin Harrison were his predecessors in tills sort of a union, but in not more than one or two cases was the widow the second wife as in this case. . John Tyler and Theodore Roosevelt married twice, but their second wives had not been wedded be fore. It Is scarcely necessary to recall Ceorge Washington's marriage. The world knows of his courtship, engage ment and espousal. Ills love was tbe "Widow Custis." Thomas Jefferson, at the home of a friend, John Wayles. met Martha Skelton, Wajies' widowed ' ' daughter. She was a beautiful wom an, much sought after, but Jefferson finally won her heart. Perhaps Dolly Madison, wife of President James Madison, is best known generally to Americans of all generations next to Martha Washing ton. John Tyler's Romance. John Tyler was twice married, the second time while he was president His first wife was Letitla Christian, who belonged to one of the old fami lies of Virginia. Mrs. Tyler bore the president nine children. ' Just before her husband was elected vice presi dent of the United States she suffered a stroke of paralysis and a short time after he succeeded Willlnm Henry Harrison as president she died in the White House. The Becond winter after her death the president met Julia, the daughter of a Mr. Gardiner, who lived on one of the islands in Long Island sound. The president fell desperately in love he wooed as a youth of twenty would woo, impetuously and roman tically. It wasn't a great while before they were engaged and a short time later they were married quietly at the Church of the Ascension in New York city. Grover Cleveland did not marry un til fairly late in life. Then he fell In love with Frances Folsom, the daugh ter of his law partner. She was a girl whom he had known from early childhood there was a time when Bhe called him "Uncle Cleve." Mr. Cleveland and Miss Folsom were wedded in the famous Blue room at the White House. For a long time It was thought that President Wilson and Mrs. Gait would be married in the White House. Peo ple just supposed that Mrs. Gait would want to go down in history as an actual White House bride. From the general feminine point of view It seemed really the only thing to do. Charming, tactful Mrs. Gait decided long ago, however, that a woman should be married in her own home and not in that of her husband. She did not believe in breaking the Amer ican nay, the world precedent in the matter. And in this all Washing ton approved.

DEFENDS HUERTA CABINET Got First News Of Tracedy When Huerta Told Him They Had Been Slain By Bandits Who At- , tempted To Free Them. Faris. Francisco de la Barra former provisional president of Mex ico, and minister of foreign affairs at the time of the death of I'reaidtnt Madero and Vlce-PretJident Pino Suarez, told the clrcuniBlances attend ing that tragic event the first state ment he had made on this or any other Mexican subject during the long period of turbulence and disorder In that country. Senor de la Barra came here as Mexican ambassador after retiring from the provisional presidency and later in the shift of administration in Mexico he gave up his diplomatic posi tion and devoted his attention to pri vate affairs. "Personally I would have preferred to have continued Bllent," said Senor de la Barra, "and to have allowed to pass the calumnious attacks which have appeared In some books and pa pers, believing that they have fallen by their own weight. On the other hand, not wishing a legend put in cir culation for obvious political reasons, to take form as a reality, and also be cause I do not wish my silence to be misinterpreted, I consider that it Is my duly to make this declaration: His Story Of Tragedy. "I declare in the most solemn and precise manner that the death of Mr. Madero and Pino Suarez was not brought about as a result of a council of the cabinet and that the first in formation I had of this tragic occur rence without any antecedent circum stance permitting me to foresee such an event was given to mc by General Huerta at midnight on Saturday, Feb ruary 22, 1913. "On Friday, February 21, at noon, at a cabinet council, I 'nterroKated the Minister of Justice and ihe Minis ter of War, asking if they had any of ficial knowledge of the detention of Mr. Madero and Pino Suarez. Their replies were negative and I thereupon urged the strict necessity of conform ing with the most scrupulous regard to the requirements of the law. I added that in case the examination of the documents, to be submitted to the Secretary of Justice, led that official to the conclusion there was legal Jus tification for a detention, then these papers should be sent to the com petent authorities for action. Some of the cabinet ministers spoke in simi lar terms and It was finally unanimous ly aRieed that the Minister of Jus lice, after receiving the documents, should proceed In accordance with the law. Slain By "Friends." "Following this, General Huerta told us that, owing to the lack of se curity in the apartments at the Na tional Palace, occupied by Mr. Madero and Pino Suarez, he was going to give orders for their removal from the palace to the penitentiary, where there would be additional security. After a renewed ratification of the decision of the cabinet, in regard to acting strict ly within the law, we finished this meeting at 1 o'clock on Friday after coon. I have in my hands several let ters from the other cabinet ministers giving confirmation to the foregoing statements. "I did not return to the National Palace until midnight, Saturday, Feb ruary 22, when I was called there by telephone from a member of General Huerta's staff, who said he desired to Inform me and the other mlnlst&rs that a very grave event had occurred. General Huerta then told me that Mr. Madero and Pino Suarez had been killed in a fight while they were being emoved to the penitentiary. He stated that as the automobile bearing them and the escort were proceeding toward the penitentiary, two armed bandits opened fire with the apparent purpose of freeing Madero and Pino Suarez, and that in the affray which! insued, both had been killed, also two other men and a fifth man who was wounded and taken prisoner. WANTS LABOR RECOGNIZED. Dompers Asks President For Place On Defense Commission. WashlnRton. Samuel Gnmpers, president of the American Federation of Labor, told President Wilson that organized labor was ready to give Its support to the defense of the nation and should be allowed a voice in mak ing preparations. Mr. Gompers asked the President to appoint a representative of labor to the commission he may name to con fer with army and navy officers on the mobilization of the nation's resources. Blnce the war started, Mr. Gompers said, belligerent nations had Included representatives of labor In every im portant activity. The President said he Would con sider the suggestion carefully.

' icupynglit.l 8nowball T Plans As Outlined By The War Department. 16-INCH GUNS IN ALL FORTS Scheme Also Calls For Semi-Mobile Howitzers, Anti-Aircraft Guns and Big Ammunition Sup. ply Fort at Cape Henry. " Washington. A new program for tho improvement of coast defenses and the mobile artillery of the United States to their maximum military effi ciency at a cost of $100,000,000 has been completed by the War Depart ment. The plan was developed after a thor ough survey of the present defenses. Tbe program has been laid before the Appropriations Committee of tbe House for use in the preparation of the fortifications appropriation bill. The program calls for as Us chief feature: The exclusive use of the 16-lnch guns in all new coast defenses, develop ment of a semi-mobile 16-inch How itzer to be transported by railroad or by motor tractors, and to be the great est arm of modern times, and the ac cumulation of reserve ammunition that will allow each gun in the coast defenses as many rounds us may be fired during the life of the gun. For Mounting 12-inch Guns. The immediate mounting of sixty four 12-lnch guns, now held as a re serve, on new carriages that will give them an increased range that will al low them to stand off any modern bat tleship has been decided on. These guns' are to be mounted at once to guard first-class cities while the 16 inch gun plan is being carried out The plan contemplates an expendi ture of more than $96,000,000 over a period of four or five years. Of this amount ubout $71,000,000 would be spent on defenses In the United States proper, $11,000,000 on defenses in the insular possessions and nenjjy $14, 000,000 on defenses for the Panama Canal. A material factor in the Increased money demand is tbe new plan to build up an ammunition reserve. Hereto fore the coast defenses have been pro vided with ammunition on tho theo retical basis of two hours continuous firing, and about $16,000,000 of the total expenditures on the program will go to furnishing the guns all the am munition they can shoot. This in crease Is explained by the Increased volume of fire at tbe command of modern warships. The War Department Is now st work developing three new artillery arms which are embraced In the new plan. They are the semi-mobile 16 Inch howitzers and approximated 11 Inch howitzers for use of the nu.bllo artillery and the anti-aircraft guns. The 16-Inch howitzers are designed to be shipped by railroad or by motor truck and to be fired from specially built emplacements or from special railroad cars. Where railroad lines run along the sea coast it Is planned to run from the main track a series of curved spurs from which the big guns could fire at any seaward angle' in line with the track. In this the tre mendous recoil of tho big gunB could be taken up not only by recoil spring, but by allowing the car to roll back ward under the force of the explosion. The War Department Is now experi menting along these lines. A new fortification is planned at Cape Henry to guard the entrance to Chesapeake Bayand it will be started at once, according to the program. It will mount four 16-inch guns and eight 16-lnch mortars. BURNED TO DEATH IN AIR. Captain Smith's Aeroplane Suddenly Burst Into Flames. London.

Time. 1 RECORDS ARE BROKEN Yield Last Year In U. S. Esti mated at $9,873,000,000. MORE EXPECTED THIS YEAR Secretary Of Agriculture Houston Recommends Legislation To lm- prove Handling and Stor age Conditions,'. , Washington. .Secretary Houston's annual report places an estimate of $9,873,000,000 on the value of Ameri can farm crops and animal products for last year, a valuation without precedent.- This, however, probably will be eclipsed by the present year's showing. This valuation is an Increase of about $83,000,000 over the value of 1913, hitherto the highest ever re corded. The increase occurred In the face of a decline In cotton from 12.5 cents a pound for the 1913 crop to an average of 7.3 cents for 1914. The total value of. the 1913 cotton crop, estimated at $846,000,000, was $283, 000,000 more than the 1914 crop, al though the latter was 14 per cent, greater in quantity. "Tbe total agricultural exports in the fiscal year ended June 30, 1915, practically the first year of the war," Bays the report, "were $1,470,000,000, which Is an increase or $356,000,000, or 32 per cent, over those of the pre ceding year and of $433,000,000, or nearly 42 per cent, over the avcrago of the five years 191014." What is needed more, perhaps, than anything else, the Secretary says, is an increase In meat animals. To that end tho department has extended Its activities as far as its funds would permit Elimination of common live stock diseases, from which losses are said to be enormous, would result in a material Increase of the meat supply. "It has been conservatively esti mated," the report continues, "on the basis of data for 30 years, that the an nual direct losses from animal dis eases are approximately $212,000,000. Tbe Indirect losses, which also are great, cannot be estimated at all. The direct loss ascribed to each disease is as follows: "Hog cholera, $75,000,000; Texus fever and cattle ticks, $40,000,000; tuberculosis, $25,000,000; contagious abortion, $20,000,000; blackleg, $6,000, 000; anthrax, $1,500,000; scabies or sheep and cattle, $4,600,000; glanders, $5,000,000; other live Block diseases, $22,000,000; parasites, $5,000,000; poul try diseases, $8,750,000." The potash situation, the report states, continues serious. There is practically no potash avnilable for fertilizer and indications are that the supply for that purpose will not be in creased materially next year. Recommendations for legislation made by Secretary Houston to Con gress include the following: Legislation designed to promote bet ter handling and storage of farm prod ucts and trading on tho basis of fixed grades and standards, Including a per missive warehouse act, a cotton stand ards act, a grain grades art and pro vision for a market news service. A land mortgage banking act Intend d to inject business methods Into handling farm finance and to place fsrniB securities upon the market in a responsible way. Authority to grant water power per mits within the national forests for fixed periods. DU PONTS CUT BIG MELON. Dividends Amounting To . $18,000,000 Distributed. Wellington, Del.

The British and French troops have successfully carried out their retirement from Serlla across tiie Greek frontier, and by an arrange ment with the Greek Government a clear road has been left ror them to rail back on Salonlkl, which Is being or ganized as a base. The German official report claims that "approximately two English divi sions were annihilated during the re tirement. Accounts rrom Athens and Salonlkl say the retreat was carried out In an orderly manner ond without heavy losses. By the destruction of railway bridges and roads and by stub born rearguard actions, In one of which two companies of the Innlskill Ing regiment sacrificed themselves to save their comrades, the Bulgarians were kept at a fairly safe distance. The question now arises whether the Bulgarians and Austro-Germans Intend lo follow the British and French troops into Greece, and what action the Greek Government will take should they do so. The Impression gained rrom dispatches emanating from Athens Is that neither the Bulgarians nor tho Turks, who also are reported to have arrived near the frontier, would be welcomed In Greece and that, therefore, If It has been decided to follow the Entente Allies the task will be undertaken by Austrlans and Ger mans. Ifowever, with the railway destroy, ed it may be some days before Greece Is called upon to take action, and by that ' time the Anglo-French force should be safe In tho defenses of Salonlkl, and under the guns of their ships. The remains of the Serbian army are still resisting the Austrlans and Bulgarians in Albania, while the Aus trlans are making very slow progress in their efforts to overwhelm Monte negro, where heavy fighting continues. Only small actions have taken place on the eastern and western fronts. On 'the Galllpoil Peninsula a fall of snow Is Impending the operations, although the Entente allied ships keep things lively for the Turks, whose attempt at an offensive last week seems to have failed. A British official report says that the Turkish attacks at Kut-El-Amara, where British reinforcements are ar riving, have been repulsed. The at tacks were made Trom all sides, but .the British position was so strong that the Turks were unable to make any Impression on it. Macedonia Free Of Allies. Berlin. The French and British have been entirely expelled from Macedonian1 territory, it is officially an nounced by German Army headquar ters, the advancing army under Gen eral Todoroff occupying Dolran and Glevgeli. . It is declared that two British divi sions were nearly wiped out during the advance. GREECE MAKES TERMS. Give Bulgars and Teutons Passage, Let Allies Fortify Salonlkl. Paris. The Allies have concluded a military agreement with the Greek Government containing the following provisions: First The Greek troops shall tem porarily withdraw to allow free pass age to an Invading Bulgarian or Austro-German army. Second The Allies are authorized to remain at Salonlkl and fortify them selves there. . Third Greece undertakes to reduce her contingent so occupying the forts and batteries at the entrance to the Gulf of Salonlkl. Greece has already begun the execu tion of the first proviso. A dispatch to tbt Temps from Salonlkl states that the Government has ordered the fifth Greek Army Corps lo withdraw from Salonlkl. " . A dispatch from Athens states that the reports that Bulgarian troops have entered Greek territory is'oQlcially de nied there. HOLDS, 200 TONS OF GOLD.
