WASHINGTON. Feb. 17. With a plain
circlet of virgin gold. In the historic East
Room of the White House, at 13 minutes
after 12 o'clock today, Alice Lee Roose
velt, eldest daughter of the President of
the "United States, and Nicholas Long
worth, the Representative In Congress
from the First District of Ohio, were
united in marriage.
The ceremony one of the most Impes-
sive ev"erperformSa In ttie executive man
sionwas according to the liturgy of the
Protestant Episcopal Church, of which
the bride is a member. It was solemnized
by the Right Rev. Henry T. Satterlee,
Bishop of Washington, and was attended
by all the solemn state of a grand official
function and by the devotional beauty of
a cathedral service. No ceremony of a
similar kind ever was witnessed by a more
distinguished assemblage. There were
present as guests not only the most emi
nent representatives of the American
Government, but the personal commis
sioners of kings and potentates of the
powers of the civilized, world, constitut
ing an assemblage not only one of the
largest, but the most distinguished that
ever was gathered at one time in the
White House.
Century of Romance.
A halo of a hundred years of romantic
"White House history hung over the bridal
couple. Miss Roosevelt was the twelfth
bride, according to accepted authorities,
to plight her troth within Its classic walls,
and the Identical spot where she today
Joined hands with the husband of her
choice, "for better or for worse," Is hal
lowed in the memory of another "White
House bride, "Nellie" Grant, who, 32 years
ago, on that same spot became the wife
of an Englishman, Algernon C F. Sar
torls. Tender, Indeed, must have been
the recollections of Mrs. Sartoris of that
day, now long ago, for she was one of
the witnesses of Miss Roosevelt's wed
ding. While the bride herself and the Presi
dent and Mrs. Roosevelt had desired that
the ceremony of the marriage should be as
aulcttHnd simple as possible. It was found
Impracticable to .limit the function, as
was Intended at first, to the Immediate
relatives of the bride and the bridegroom.
It became necessary to include among the
guest h Invited certain official classes and
personaj- friends of Miss Roosevelt and
Mr. Longwftrth and. In all, the people
bidden to the ceremony numbered 1000.
Sunlight Beautifies Scene.
The ceremony took place in the East
room, .made famous by the century of
briUIantsoclal functions, but no event in
its history ever was so brilliant and beau
tiful as that of today. The classic splen
dor of the great apartment was enhanced
by exquisite and artistic decorations, and
the brilliant sunlight of a gorgeous day
lent added beauty to the setting of the
wedding.
It had been intended to light the mag
nificent room with the hundreds of softly-
shaded electric lamps of the great crys
tal chandeliers, but, while artificial lights
were utilized throughout the rest of the
White House, It was determined to flood
the marriage scene with sunlight It was
a beautiful conceit, founded on the pretty
proverb, "Happy is the bride tne sun
shines on." No lovelier day In "Winter
ever dawned. The air was as balmy.
almost, as Jn Spring. No more auspicious
day for a wedding could have been im
aglned.
TASTE JN FLORAL ADORNMENT
Botanical Gardens Ravished Add to
Glory of Day.
For days the White House, ordinarily
open to visitors during specified hours of
each day, had been dosed, pending ar
rangements for today's ceremony.
The East room was decorated most
elaborately. Not since the incoming of
have the White House apartments been
so exquisitely graced with flowers as they
were today. While no space necessary for
guests was taken up with floral decora
tions, every room In the lower part of
the executive mansion was brilliant with
flowers and decorative plants. The dec
orations were planned and executed by
George H. Brown, of the Government
Botanical Gardens, who studied with the
eye of an artist the color scheme of the
rooms of the White House and developed
his ideas of floral decorations In conson
ance with the coloring of the various
apartments.
While unnecessary space In the great
apartment was not taken up with the
decorations, as every Inch of It was need
ed to accommodate the guests, two huge
vases, each filled with Easter lilies and
ferns, occupied each of the mantels, and
two handsome tables, one at the north
and south end of the room, bore Jar
dinieres of flowering rhododendrons.
At the great center windows, directly
opposite the main entrance of the room,
and overlooking the East Terrace, a su
perb floral bower had been contrived with
exquisite skill and artistic taste. A semi
circular platform 12 Inches high was con
structed before the windows. On this the
ceremony took place, so that all in the
room had practically an unobstructed
view of It. The platform was carpeted In
green of handsome design, and over the
carpet was thrown with artistic careless
ness an elegant Oriental rug, designed In
curious and Intricate figures.
In colors red predominated. Banked
back of the platform and next to the win
dows were palms elected for the beauty
and closeness of their leaves. This group
of palms was fringed at the base with
astllbe Japonlca. Forming a background
were dracena sanderli of green and white,
and gorgeous Easter lilies. Above this
platform there was a garlanding of green
house smllax and asparagus, with scores
of roses nestling In the green. The effect
of the whole was exquisitely beautiful.
While decorations in the other rooms on
the main floor of the White House were
beautiful, they were less elaborate than
those in the East Room The vases in the
Green Room were filled with enchantress
carnations of delicate pink and fern
fronds. The Blue Room vases bore Easter
lilies and fern fronds, while two great
vases at each end of the mantel were
filled with Easter lilies and white roses.
In tha window recesses small palms and
flowering plants were disposed effectively.
In the Red Room, to harmonize with
the color scheme of the apartment, the
vases contained Jacqueminot roses In a
setting of fern and asparagus fronds.
The state dining-room, which was
not thrown open to the guests until
after the ceremony, was a vision of
grandeur. The great high walls and
celling, paneled in walnut like the
halls of a Saxon Lord of old, bearing
Just below the celling the hunting trophies
of the President, formed a magnificent
setting for the beautifully decorated table.
on which, amid a shimmer of silver and
cut-glass, the buffet wedding breakfast
was laid. The great table extending al-

north, the vases on The mantel were filled
with bride roses and fern fronds. Vases
on the table contained American Beauty
and bride roses and ferns.
The decorations of the main corridor
were beautifully artistic The niches were
filled with decorative plants, stately
palms and tree ferns. The two great Jar
dinieres between the columns along the.
corridors were planted with handsome
rhododendrons In full flower. The blos
soms were of purple and pink, and the
plants were so arranged in the Jardinieres
that they formed a living screen Just 12
Inches high.

ter of the President of the United
States, was married in the White
House at 12:13 o'clock yesterday to Hon.

The bridal gown was one of the most
beautiful ever worn by an American
bride, and was entirely of American
manufacture. The material was of ex
quisite brocade satin made princess
style, with long court train of silver and
while brocade. Rare point lace was
used as trimming and soft effects were
obtained by the use of chiffon and tulle,
A lojg tulle veil completely enveloped

orange blossoms, and the brocade slip
pers had tulle bows caught with orange
blossom clusters. She wore as her only

No ceremony of a similar kind was
ever witnessed by so distinguished an as
sembly. Personal representatives of
kings and potentates of all the civilized
powers of the world and the most emi
nent representatives of America's Gov
ernment, high officials In every walk of
life, literary, artistic and social lights,
captalna of Industry and many plain, stal
wart American citizens were present as
guests. The brilliant uniforms of the
foreign Ambassadors and Ministers min
gled with the gorgeous gowns of the
women and the dainty colors of the flo
ral decorations made the scene a memo
rable one.
Nellie Grant Sartoris was the one
guest In whom greatest Interest cen
tered, she having been a White House
bride herself 32 years ago.
A buffet wedding breakfast was served
to the 1100 guests and the brlae's health
drunk in wine a century old, made by the
groom's great-grandfather, whose name
he bears. The guests left the White
House at 2 o'clock.
Late In the afternoon the bride and
groom entered an automobile and were
driven to the country home of Mr. ami
Mrs. John R. McLean. "Friendship." a
few miles out of Washington. This is
one of the most beautiful residences
around the capital and the locality was
first made popular by President G rover
Cleveland building a country home there
during his administration, where he
spent many weeks with his own White
House bride.
The White House was beautifully dec
orated for the occasion of the wedding,
care being taken not to use any space
that might be utilized by guests.
Over 10C) wedding gifts were showered
on the fortunate young bride. While
their value has been greatly exaggerated,
the fact remains that a small fortune
was expended In them. Tiffany, the

more than $109,009 of -orders for the oc

Julius Kuhn. proprietor and bartender
of the Julius Kuhn saloon, at 340 Weldler
street, corner of Williams avenue, was
murdered In cold blood at his place of
business at S:I5 o'clock last night by a
masked highwayman, who stood within
three feet of his victim and fired a bullet
Into his body. Before Kuhn fell dead
behind the bar he picked up a large beer
glass which was standing on the bar
and feebly tried to hit his murderer.
Without speaking a word and with a
revolver In his hand, a masked highway
man entered the front door of Kuhn's
saloon, and while Kuhn sprang toward
the rear of the bar with the evident In
tention of defending himself and to pre
vent a holdup, he was shot. He staggered
a few steps and grabbed up a beer glass.
Mumbling a few. Incoherent words, he
threw It feebly at the man and fell dead.
PIccs After Murder.
Without walling to make an attempt
to rob the money till behind the bar the
highwayman turned and fled by the way
he had "entered. No word was spoken by
him from the time he entered until h.e
disappeared. Kuhn lived -but a few min
utes from the time he was shot. Before
medical attendance could be summoned
he died. lying In a pool of blood be
hind the bar.
Ellas Shoup, an employe In the City
Engineer's office, was the only one pres
ent with Kuhn when he was killed. The
highwayman was not seen by Shoup un
til the shooting occurred. When the shot
was fired Shoup grabbed a chair with
the Intention of defending himself, at the
same time calling for help. William
Clark, living at 102 Knott street, who
was standing at the rear door of the
saloon, heard the shot and the cries of
Shoup. He entered the place Just after
the masked man had fled. An unknown
man and woman, who were occupying one
of the. boxes In the rear of the saloon.
also heard the shooting, but left the
place before they could be stopped.
Life Could ol Be Saved.
Physicians could not have saved Kuhn's
life, but one was summoned, and E. B
Murphy, a druggist at Cherry street and
Williams avenue, a block from where the
murder occurred, hastened to the place.
No bride outside of royalty has ever
received presents from so many crowned
heads or notable personages. The King of
Spain, King of Italy, Emperor of Ger
many. Emperor of Austria, President of
France, Empress of China, Mikado of
Japan. Republic of Cuba and Pope Plus
X all remembered the young daughter of
the President, sending her rare wedding
gifts through their, representatives at the
capital, and with them their best wjshes
for the happy life that will surely be
hers.
The diamond dog collar presented by
Ambassador and Mrs. Whltelaw Reid Is
presumably the most costly gift of Jewels
received by the bride. The pearl neck
lace given by the Republic of Cuba is
known to have cost 325,000. and other
pieces have been mentioned as costing
J15.CC0 and S.O0O. The private view of
the gifts permitted Intimate friend? was
given two days before the wedding, and
they consisted chiefly of Jewelry" and rare
bric-a-brac There are necklaces,
brooches, rings, bracelets, fans of unique
design, clocks, watches, vases, loving
cups; punch bowls, pictures, rare laces,
exquisite silks and embroideries from the
Orient, delicate carvings In Ivory, and
the precious metals, handsome rugs and
tapestries, rare sliver and china table
services, mo&t of them manufactured
from special designs, and every other gift
which possibly could make glad the heart
of a bride.
The gift which Mrs. Longworth -prizes
most highly, aside from those of her hus
band and parents. Is that of her Grand
mother Lee, who gave the old family
lace and Jewels which would have been
the bride's own mother's, had she lived.
A private car awaits orders to carry
the couple South after their honeymoon
at 'FrIcndshlp." The wedding trip will
not be sx lengthy one. the groom's duties
In Congress necessitating an early return,
but later In the year a trip abroad ls
planned-
The 'bride was showered with rice as
she left the White House, and the sun
shine, which is said to be so lucky for
brides, shone full upon her. As the big
auto car wheeled away an old slipper
was- thrown and landed squarely on tae
back, Gt tha- carr wtc-lL xesaaiaad,
Kuhn breathed his last as the druggist
bent over him.
Ten minutes before Kuhn was killed
Policeman Lyttle and Special Policeman
Kalich were In the saloon talking with
the proprietor and with Shoup. The high
wayman Is thought to have watched the
two policemen leave the place before he
attempted to Tiold up the proprietor.
Kuhn had finished his dinner only a
short time before he was murdered. He
occupied living rooms with his wife and
13-year-old daughter. Lillian, on the floor
above the saloon. Both heard the shot
that killed the husband and father, who
had dined with them but half an hour
before.
The highwayman who killed Kuhn was
an amateur, more to be feared than the
hardened criminal. From descriptions
given by Shoup he was not more than
23 or 24 years old and was extremely
nervous. He wore dark clothing, a black
slouch hat and a black mask that
covered the face from the forehead to
the chin. He fled precipitately when he
saw that he had felled his victim.
.Motive Was Robbery.
No motive other than robbery is ad
vanced for the killing, although Shoup.
who was 'excited, said that he believed
It to be the work of an enemy. Kuhn Is
said to have been one of the most respect
ed men in his neighborhood, and his wife
and child say that he did not have an
enemy in the city. Kuhn always car-
leda large amount of money In the
saloon for the purpose of cashing checks
for his customers. A considerable amount
was behind the bar last night and the
highwayman Is supposed to have known
of Its existence.
News of the murder was telephoned to
police headquarters as . soon as the high
wayman had fled, and Captain Slover of
the first relief sent Detectives Kay and
White, Policeman Inskeep and Patrol
Driver Isaacs to the scene. Detectives
Kerrigan and Snow were sent to the
saloon Immediately afterward by Chief
Grltzmacher. Kerrigan and Snow will
handle the case for the department. Chief
Grltzmacher and Captain Bruin remained
at the station until a late hour last night
directing the search for the murderer.
With only a poor description the detec
tives have little upon which to work.
Detectives at Work.
In speaking about the murder last night
Chief Grltzmacher said that, although
rumors were current that the killing was
the act of an enemy, he believed that It
was "an attempted hold-up. The detec
tives will work on this theory.
Coroner Flnley made an examination of
the body last night and foiind that the
bullet, probably from a 3S-callber re
volver, had pierced the left arm six
SENSATIONAL HOLD-UPS.
Not 'since the murder of Thomas
Fleramtaxs and the shooting of & L.
Roush in the Centennial Hotel. De
cember 13. has there been such a
brutal Rilling an that of Julius Kuhn.
Highwaymen robbed the saloon and
killed FlemmlnKA at that time. "Ta
too" Kelly and "Hlney" Raasman were
captured by Detectives Kerrigan and.
Snow. Kelly was found guilty of
murder in the second degree and (lass
man will be tried. Snow and Kerri
gan have now taken up the Kuhn case.
Sensational hold-ups ever rlnce the"
clcvflnr of the Lewis and Clark Ex
position have been of weekly occur
rence In Portland. Saloon proprietors
and pedestrians have almost nightly
been made the victims of masked men.
After thr murder of Flemmlngs high
waymen became frightened and no
Crimea of a serious nature were "re
ported for two weeks. The murder of
Kuhn last night, thought by fome to
be the act of an enemy, but which the
police believe to be the act of a high
wayman, may stop crimes of the high
way robbery class for several weeks.
Inches below the shoulder, ranged up
ward and entered the body Just below the
shoulder blade and pierced the left lung
cavity. An Inquest over the body will
be held Monday.
Kuhn was a native of Germany, about
4 years old. He had relatives in the
city and was well respected. The police
up to a late hour had not captured the
highwayman.

SANTA FE. N. M., Feb. IT. (Special.)
A race to save John Conley. con
demned to die upon the scaffold at
Taos today, was won at 2:07 A. M.,
when Deputy Sheriff Fred Fornoff rode
Into Taos carrying a reprieve signed
by Governor Hagerman. When Conley
was notified two days ago that execu
tive clemency had been refused he be
came a raving maniac. Governor Ha
german thereupon decided to reprieve
him one week until his mental condi
tion could be Investigated. There Is
no telegraphic communication with
Taos and the nearest station is 30 miles
away. Couriers were sent from the
nearest points and raced across the
desolate and wild stretches of coun
try. It Is understood here that soon
after the reprieve was delivered at
Taos Conley showed signs of sanity
again, which convinces the authorities
that he was shamming. It is probable
that he will be hanged a week from
today. Conley is a former Denver man
and a veteran. He was convicted of
the murder of two young men while on
a camping trip, but always has pro
tested his Innocence. Physicians will
go to Taos for the Governor and In
vestigate his condition.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 17. (Special Corre
spondence.) Public opinion, apparently, is
the dominant power here at present. There
Is no boss of the United States. Cities are
bossed, and counties and states: there Is a
bas of the House of Representatives, and
there are bosses in the Senate. The
boss has climbed high on his way to the
top. and the late Marcus A. Hannu came
pretty near reaching It. but he didn't,
not quite. No one man ever has reigned
over the whole National Government in
the sense that George t'ox. for example,
lorded It over Cincinnati: not yet. Tha
friends of the Senate pretend to fear lest
the President may. and we saw last week
that he does practice some of the methods
of a rather masterful politician. Also
we noticed, however, that the dread of
Roosevelt arose from the suspicion thai
he represented us. And hence his power.
The President may not realize It; he
may think he wins because he; plays the
game well, and he may think he has to
play on with the machine to make his
victory complete. But he doesn't. The
longer 1 stay here the surer I am that,
much as they prize his patronage and
dearly as they love his Presidential pow
ers, our representatives In Congress wovi!

Attempt to FooipHhe People.
And their cry that he is a boss 13 an
attempt to fool us. The Pres Ident is
no boss. A boss docn't work with, ho
works against or around the public wi!3.
The test question for a boss, as for a
representative is. "What does he repre
sent?" And the boss represents business,
bad business, any business that will con
tribute funds to pay him to corrupt men
and make "our" government favor the
few who want to get things out of the
rest of us. That Is the system; that is
the great American system of so-called
"political corruption" which disgraces our
cities, humiliates our states and loots our
Insurance companies, etc. And without a
system, there can be no boss.
There can be a system without a boss,
however, and. as in New Jersey and Il
linois. In Ohio and Connecticut and Massa
chusetts, where also no man Is called
"the" boss, there Is a system In Wash
ington. It is too soon to trace Its out
lines, but the signs of It appear on every
hand; from the clouds of unnecessary ser
vants (known as "chairwarmers") swarm
ing In the public building up through the
House combine to the scandal-scarred tap
tains of industry In the Senate.
There Is no doubt about the system be
ing here. The only question is as to i s
power, and the best way to measure that
Is to tight It as they are doing in Jersey
and Ohio and Wisconsin. But the Presi
dent has elected to get along with it as far
as he can; it is the political organization
of the system that lie is using to ja?n
through his bills against the system. He
is succeeding, too. apparently; the House
combine is doing things for us. But you
can see the marks of the system on all
the things It has done for us.
How the Philippine Bill Was Passed.
, Take the Philippine tariff bill. That
Isn't exactly for us. Secretary Taft got
the President lo recommend It as a meas
ure of justice to the Filipinos. His Idea
was to remove tfie tariff on Philippine
products shipped into the United States
and give the Islands a chance by putting
them on a par with our territories. The
tariff bill Is ours only in that it represents
our sense of honor and fair dealing. But
It Is against the interest of certain busi
nesses which produce things the Philip
pines produce. Now the system repre
sents not honor and fair dealing, but busi
ness; not the people, not men and women,
not "folks." as Representative Adam
Bede puts It; the system represents busi
ness Interests. So there was great op
position to the Philippine tariff bill, and In
the committee, before It was reported out
to the House, two Interests were "taken
care of" In the bill. A tariff was to be kept
on sugar and on tobacco till 1SC9. These
Interests were so strongly represented
that there was no use trying to put "our"
bill through "our" House without them.
And even with them we couldn't quito
make it. The President and the Speaker
had to allow one more Interest to be taken
care of. Rice also was excepted. That
won over to our side the "Democratic
Representatives of rice, and thus this bill
against "business Interests" was passed
with three long catlike scratches of tha
clinging system in It.
Take the President's second recom
mendation, to admit four territories a3
two states. There is no objection to tha
