WASHINGTON", May 31. (Special.)
Fines amounting to several million dollars
will be sought by the Government agaln.n
the railroads shown by the Gartield report
to have been guilty of granting favors to
tlie Standard Oil Company. This report,
with added details, will go to the De
partment of Justice this week and It Is
asserted that the waybills, bills of lading,
whipping records and other documents ac
companying It will form a complete chain
r evidence upon which to base prosecu
tions. Specific violations showing the granting
of rebttes on shipments aggregating more
than 11X10 cars will be alleged in one In
stance. Recently thet Chicago. Burlington
Quincy road was 'fined $Heo a car for
Mx cars of shipments upon which rebates
were given. No imprisonment penalty
covered this act, but. If this is made the
standard of fines, the Government hopes
to teach 1 violators a lespon.
Chicago, St. I-ouls and New York are
mentioned as the probable places for
bringing the new cases.
One of the most flagrant cases upon
which much evidence Is at hand is that
of shipments made by Whiting. Indiana,
to St. Louis. Mo., for the Waters-Pierce
till Company. False way-bills and dis
crlmlnating rates are alleged to have
been used between these points for ten
years, last year nlone saving the Standard
Oil Company $224,000.
WOMEN'S CLUB FEDERATION
rrcltlent iSiingesIs Changes in Or
ganization and lcrincs Objects.
ST. FAI'I May SI. Only a few mors
than 500 delegates to the biennial conven
tion of the General Federation of
Women's Clubs were present today when
the first business session was called to
order by Mrs. Sarah Piatt Decker, of
Denver. The morning session was taken
up with social greetings. -
Mrs- Decker In making her biennial
address said that she had visited 26
meetings of State Federations and she
thought that at these meetings there was
little or no mention of the National Fed
eration. There was not, she believed,
the proper centripetal force.
Some suggestions made by her were:
The establishment of national hendouur
ters, the appointment of a member of
the board of directors as adviser to the
executive; a new standing committee to
lie known as the "outlook" committee,
to report on new work: the merging of
the industrial committee and the sub
committee on child labor; a visitation
circuit, so that there would tie a general
officer at each state federation meeting.
In closing she said:
"The general federation Is not a ju-opa-i
gnnda, not a charity, not purely socio
logical, not political, not an academy nor
a museum of art. not a university, not a
bureau of publicity, but. despite all that
It ts not. it has aroused tho Nation to a
new life. The Federation is rather typ
ical of America' itself. It may prove a
mighty force In the civilization of the
future."

e presidents had an opportunity to
show their best gowns-tonight, for they
were on the programme to make reports.
That there were many who did not avail
themselves of this privllige was evident
immediately after Mrs. Decker brought
her wooden mallet down on the table
with a slam. as ' she called 'for several
substitutes to come to the stage. Mrs.
Decker said the object of the evening was
to show what a splendid backbone the
Federation had In Its State Federation.

On reaching the Chamber of Deputies
the cortege came In sight of Church of

its entrance was suspended an immense
canopy of red and yellow velvet, embroi

the bridal party stood lines of halberdiers
and palace guards.
The massed bands played the Spanish
national anthem as the bridal couple with
measured steps passed within' the church.
Gorgeous Scene in Church.
The interior presented a scene of rare
beauty as the royal couple entered. The
great arches and nave, usually somber,
were lighted up by thousands of electric
lights, which lined the 'cornices and
framed' the marble altar with- an aureole
of light. At the left of the altar arose a
throne upon a dais, over which hung a
majestic canopy of light silk,- exquisitely
wrought in black." Two richly gilded

Americans Alone Wear No Uniform.
Mr. Whitrldge, the American special
envoy, who was in evening dress, sat
among the other envoys, and Minister

the resident diplomats. The wife of the
American Minister, who was the only
American woman present, wore a Par

white satin, embroidered with sliver
roses. Mr. Whitrldge and Mr. Collier

WEDDING DRESS MARVEL OF BEAUTY
MADRID. May 31. The wedding dress has attracted great interest In
Spain, as It is truly a Spanish product, in fabric and finish, except for the
wonderful Brussels lace which has been brought to adorn it. It was a fancy
of the King and the Queen Mother that the wedding dress should be
made In Spain, and the Princess Ena graciously fell in with this patriotic
sentiment. The dress Is therefore one of the special presents from the
King, and Is a marvel of elegance.
The silk was manufactured from a special pattern in one of the large
Spanish silk establishments. It was made up with all the artistic skill of
the court dressmakers. The silk is heavily overlaid with wonderful silver
embroidery with soft frills of the finest Brussels lace, said to have cost fcO
a yard. The laces were publicly exhibited before being put on the dress,
and excited the admiration and astonishment of the aristocratic ladles of
Madrid.
Orange blossoms are profusely used with the silver embroideries and
laces, for the corsage, and even in dainty clusters along the train, which
is four yards long.
According to Spanish traditions the bride must afterwards present this
wedding dress to the Virgin de la Paloma, the popular protectress
of maternity.
shals, each In their distinctive uniforms,
their breasts scintillating: with high or
ders, the silken vestments of the envoys
of China, Persia, Slam and Morocco lend
ing the scene additional touch of Oriental
color.
As the royal couple entered, the assem
blage arose and 200 choristers Intoned a
processional- hymn. The King looked
calm, happy and slightly pale, as usual.
Across the breast of his Field Marshal's
uniform was the blue and white sash of
the Order of Charles III, and on his
breast sparkled the Orders of the Garter
and of the Golden Fleece.
The bride entered with her mother,
brother and Queen Christina,- the silvered
embroidery of her wedding dress being
reflected by the myriad of lights until
the bride seemed to be robed In Jewels.
Her veil, slightly drawn aside, revealed
her clear, fine features with cheeks full
of vouthful color.
The King advanced to meet the bride
and they stood together as the marriage
service began. The ceremony was per
formed with all the impresslveness of tho
Roman ritual, Cardinal Sancha, Arch
bishop of Toledo, robed in crimson silk,
officiating, assisted by a special Nuncio
of the Pope and the highest dignitaries
of the church, with scores of acolytes
and incense-burners.
The ceremony, which lasted nearly an
hour, terminated with the Nuncio's pro
nouncing the Pope's benediction on the
newly married couple and the chanting
of the "Te Deum." As the King and Prin
cess Victoria were pronounced man and
wife, the news- was signalled to the wait
ing crowds and all Madrid broke Into
frantic demonstrations of joy, white
cannon boomed and church bells chimed.
Entering the royal coach, the King and
Queen of Spain returned to the palace
amid scenes of the wildest enthusiasm,
the throngs shouting:
"Long live Queen Victoria."

MADRID. May SI. The presents for
King Alfonso and bis bride are ar-
riving from all quarters of the globe,
from- countries and their rulers, from
provinces and cities, and even from
school children of Spain, who have
contributed their mite to show their
lovalty to the King. Some of these
gifts are as follows:

pressing their homage to the young
couple. The manufacturers of Barce
lona have presented the bride with a
diadem of diamonds valued at 153,000
pesetas.
The presents from royalty are nota
ble mainly for their elegance and taste
rather than their intrinsic worth, al
though sonie of them are of great
value. The Emperor of Germany sends
some splendid hunting trophies, made
of the head3 of wild boars and stags,
which Alfonso killed during his hunt
in the imperial hunting preserves of
Germany. France sends some of the
finest productions of Sevres porcelain
and the Gobeiin tapestry factories.

red velvet wonderfully embroidered In
gold. The bride's presents from the
Spanish aristocracy include many his
toric jewels, fine old fans, laces and
porcelains. The daughter of the Duke
of Alba sent her a gold waist buckle
set in rubles. The presents from the
people of Spain show the sympathy
with which they receive the foreign
Princess. The school teachers through
out the country have subscribed a
large amount for a sumptuous edition
of Don .Quixote, accompanied by a
message of felicitation on parchment.
The friends of the King at Biarritz
have united in making a truly royal
gift of the Villa Mouriscot and its
splendid estates, where the roynl
courtship began. The English resi-
dents are vieingr with the Spaniards in
giving; presents, the English colonies
of the interior towns having raised

Coffee Wrecks
The Children
Dr. Elias G. Brown, the medical examiner of defective
school children in the public schools of New York City, in
his report to the City Superintendent, writes:
"After hereditary or congenital causes, improper diet
is the greatest of the causes of malnutrition and nervoiis
ness. In considering nutrition I rind one of the most
noticeable evils to be the very large proportion of school
children who drink tea and coffee.
"Both tea and coffee are, as we know, pure stimulants
and contain an acid that is harmful.
"Many children come to school in the morning after a
breakfast of stimulant (coffee or tea) and starch (white
bread), and children very frequently have coffee or tea
with each of their three meals, and sometimes also at
three o'clock on their return from .school. No child who
drinks tea or coffee can be at his best. In this matter
parents need education."
City Superintendent of New York Public Schools, Will
iam II. Maxwell, in discussing this report, writes in his
report :

The passing of the famous "Quarter
Rlock" of flue pianos, one of Portland's
showplaces. the mecca of the entire musi
cal fraternity, which has been pointed t'
with much pride as the only establish
ment wherein nearly all of the strictly
high-grade, standard pianos were carried
under one roof, came last night. The
lease under which the Piano House was
held, expired yesterday. There was no
solemn ceremony to witness the end. but
there was genuine regret on all sides as
the hours sped by.
By today we should have vacated the
premises, but fortunately, or unfortunate
ly, as the case may be, the landlord has
been unable to secure a tenant, and will
allow us to remain from day to day on
sufferance.
There still remains a large and almost
complete assortment of pianos, pianolas,
orchest relies, organs, etc.. nil of which
we want to sell out now. Rather than
take the risk of carrying them over In
definitely we will make still deeper
slashes into prices. We'll sell them at
any cost.
Don't put off buying your pfano, or
pianola, or org-un. any longer. Seeing is
believing here. Drop in and convince your
self that you can now buy a strictly lit ch
est -grade, beautiful Instrument at a price
usually asked for a cheap, inferior grade.
Hear in mind that while we a re here
today, we may not be tomorrow. The
entire lower floor will he vacated by to
morrow. We are simply remaining and
doing business at the mercy and pleasure
of t he owtier. At any ra te only a few
