NEW TORK, May IS. William Ellis
Corey, president of the United States
Steel Corporation, and Mabelle E- Gil
man were married at the Hotel Gotham
this morning at 1:24 A. M.
In order to escape the unlucky 13th
of the month, the wedding was de
layed until after midnight. The cere
mony took plane in the royal suite at
the Gotham Hotel, Fifth avenue and
Fifty-fifth street. In the presence of
a small party of friends of the con
tracting couple. The ceremony was
performed by Rev. J. I Clark, pastor of
the Bushwlok-avenu Congregatl jnal
Churcfe of Brooklyn.
"Slawe? bffr tha theaters had poured
th, . thousands Into the night, a line
of cttrious people gathered about the
hotel cr.d gazed expoclantly at the bril
liant windows, from which flashed
(treat bars of ocher light across Fifth
avenue, in a vain hope of catching
soma fleeting glimpse of the wedding
party. The more venturesome braved
the imposing uniformed doorman of the
hotel and wandered about the office
and corridors, but none successfully
essayed entrance to the royal suite.
Only the few Invited guests passed that
carefully guarded portal. Detectives
moved about In the crowds that min
gled In the hotel corridors, and all
who came under suspicion, were passed
along the street.
Royal Suite Gay With Flowers.
The royal suite in the Hotel Gotham is
on the third floor of the Fifth avenue side
and consists of eight rooms. It Is se
cluded.' The salon and the dining-rooms
were decorated last night with hundreds
of American beauty roses. The manage
ment of the hotel and those in charge of
the decorations were given carte blanche
and the wedding is said to have cost
jtooo.
The guests assembled In a small recep
tion room in the suite, and at 11 o'clock
entered the d ilng-room. where the wed
ding supper was served. The decorations
of the rooms were beautiful and were
.tastefully arranged. The hallway was
fringed on both sides with potted palms,
dressed with sprays of dogwood end
snowballs, while the reception room. In
which the guests met, was adorned with
great vases filled with American beauty
Vwes and sprays of cherry blossoms and
dogwood. In the dining-room was a
great square table. In the center, of which
was a bank of pink roses, with sprays
of lilies of the valley woven around at
the base, the whole edged around with
broad bands of pink ribbon. From the
co oners of the room were swung festoons
of smiiax. intermingled with pink rosea.
Wedding Follows Supper.
"After the supper was over the party,
led by Mr. Corey and his bride, passed
down the hall between the rows of palms
to the double salon, which was dec
orated to represent a small church.
Broad white ribbons attached to small
white posts formed an aisle down the
center of the room, on either side of
which were the chairs for those In
vited to witness the ceremony. At the
head of the aisle was a small white altar,'
before which was a prledleu covered with
white silk, at which the couple knelt dur
ing the ceremony. On each side of the
altar rose a white column, the two being
Joined by an arch. The columns and arch
were heavily draped with smiiax dotted
with hundreds of orchids. From the cen
ter of the arch hung a large wedding
bell of lilies of the valley.
There was no music during the even
ing and thore were no bridesmaids. Miss
Gllman being attended only by Miss
Frances Ersklne Shaw of London. Mr.
Corey was unattended.
Miss Gllman wore an empire gown of
white crepe de chine, the skirt of which
was trimmed with garlands of em
broidered wild roses. The bodies was
trimmed with point d 'aiguille lace caught
up with trails of embroidered roses. The
bridal veil was of handsome tulle four
yards square, edged with point d'alguille
lace.
After tha nuptials Mr. Corey and his
bride took; an auto and were whirled
i
away to Hoboken. where they boarded
the steamer Kaiser Wllhelm It, which
will sail at 7:30 o'clock this morning.
They will occupy the captain's suite,
which has been specially fitted up for
the trip. Mr. Corey was attended by
a valet and Mrs. Corey by a maid. The
pair will dine in their own rooms. Mr.
and Mrs. Corey wil proceed to Paris
and will then go to the Chateau Genls.
25 miles from Paris, where the honey
moon will be passed. They expect to
remain there until they return to
America about the middle of July.
Mr. Corey's only gift to his bride
was the Chateau Genls.
During the evening preceding the ar
rival of the guests, Mr. Corey who re
mained at the hotel, received hund
reds of congratulatory telegrams and
letters from friends and business as
sociates. Miss Gllman was also In

BOTH OF STRONG CHARACTER
Union of Aggressive Couple Portends
Matrimonial Squalls.
NEW YORK. May 13. Special.) The
union of Mr. Corey and Miss Gllman
brings together two aggressive personali
ties. The new Mrs. Corey is remarkably
clever; she is assertive, observant, know
ing and courageous. As for Mr. Corey,
he Is an icicle in business, a genial fel
low In sports and a companionable man
In ordinary social matters.
Astrologists probably will gfi mad in
endeavoring to forecast a pleasant future
for the newly-Joined pair. One of the
first principles of astrology is Bald to be
that strong, assertive personalities should
avoid uniting In wedlock. One will is
likely to clash against the other. If the
astrologists had their way. Mr. Corey
would have selected a clinging vine of a
girl for his new bride instead of a Gil
man, who Is anything but dependent on
others for opinions or advice.
Mr. Corey is indomitable; his bride is
not to be crossed. The lives of both
demonstrate the truth of this diagnosis.
Mr. Corey is believed to have met Miss
Gllman the first time about four years
ago, when she was a member of the
"Mocking Bird" Company. There were
uspr, automobile rides and flowers.
Thus the romance began.
Faithful Wife of His Poverty.
About that time the first disagreement
between Mr. and Mrs. Corey took place.
Apparently he later admitted he was in
fatuated with the actress, and It was then
that Mrs. Corey decided to quit her hus
band and her home. Mrs. Corey, whose
maiden name was Laura Cook, was not
worldly-wise, and possessed none of the
dash and chio of Miss Gllman. She was
a good, sweet-tempered and faithful wife,
who had loved "Will" Corey devotedly
and had been his partner in toll, hard
ship and success. Mrs. Corey had none
of the Oilman brilliance, but she always
has been a woman of Intelligence, sweet
ness, fine character and refinement, a
thoughtful wife and a tender mother.
Contrast with her her successor. The
latter is dark, radiant, amiable and
artistic. She is clever In every sense of
the word. She brought the country born
and bred Iron manufacturer to her feet
with almost laughable facility.
Was Useful, Not Ornamental.
Mrs. Corey the first is a member of
one of the oldest families in Western
Pennsylvania. Her parents were not
wealthy, however, and the children were
compelled to labor for a livelihood. She,
who was later the wife of the head of the
biggest corporation in the world, was em
ployed as a domestic by the family of A.
A. Corey, father of the man she married.
The young man soon afterward was given
work as a coalhauler at a salary of $40
a month. The domestic life of the young
couple was peaceful until Corey was
made president of the big steel company.
As the executive head of this concern
he had to live In this city, he had to cir
culate In society and "put on airs." At
least, so he must have thought, for the
parting of the ways between himself and
his wife began then. His apologists said
that "Corey wanted a woman of sparkle
and brilliance to boost him along tn New
York society." and this always has been

Brown Denounces Action Dick I
Says Conference Is Useless In
Consequence of Animosity.
AKRON, O., May 13. United States
Senator Charles Dick, wjio Is chairman
of the Republican State Central Com
mute, tonight issued a statement call
ing off the order for a conference at
Columbus Wednesday of members of
the state executive committee. Republi
can members of Congress, County
Chairman, state officers and Republican
leaders generally. The call for the con
ference was Issued last week and gave
for its otject the discussion of means
of reconciling clashing lnte.-ests of
political leaders In the state and main
taining harmony In the party. Follow
ing Is Mr. Dick's statement calling off
Wednesday's conference:
"When, as chairman of .the Ohio Re
publican State Executive Committee, I
invited- a conference of the state cen
tral executive committees, of the chair
men of the Republican county executive
committees, of the elective state offi
cers and of the Republican members of
Congress, to be held at Columbus, Wed
nesday, May 15, I then assumed entire
responsibility for the call, as I now
assume entire responsibility for an In
definite postponement of the meeting.
It seems proper, however, that a brief
explanation should be made. .
JSo Deal to Be Ratified.
"The conference was called for no
purpose of ratifying any deal, bargain
or compromise,' for there was none, but
to secure party harmony and unity of
purpose among the Republicans . of
Ohio, and to allay party strife and dis
content. This, It was believed, could
be done by a full, frank and consider

ate exchange of opinion at a represen
tee gathering, and finally the adop
tion of some public expression voicing
as nearly as might be the ascertained
sentiment of Ohio Republicans.
There was no intention of presuming
to do more than to recommend united
action and effort among Ohio Republi
cans and no purpose to attempt to dic
tate or even indorse, or still less nomi
nate, the party choice of candidates.
It was never meant to have the con
ference assume the functions of the
state convention or encroach upon any
rights or privileges of individual Re
publicans. Nor was It supposed that
there would be any arbitrary action
binding the great body of Republicans.

with A. t Vorys, state oommlasloner of

Mine Superintendent Corrects Mov

Sifting Out Talesmen From New ,
Venire for Haywood Jury.
BOISE; Ida., May 13. Speciaa.) To
many in the courtroom today there was
a feature that caused . much comment
among them. This was the attitude of
W. D. Haywood, the defendant. There
was a look on his face that had not been
there before, his features being drawn
and anger showing in their lineaments.
Through "the proceedings of the after
noon this was notloeable to persons so
seated that they could get a good view
of the prisoner's face, and It indicated to
their minds that something had occurred
thnt had aroused the- man.
It is possible the change has been
brought about through the revelations
made respecting Moyer. Though the
story of the latter', career In Chicago
and his penitentiary sentence has not
been published here. It Is generally
known, outside papers having arrived
carrying It in full, also much of a con
flmatory character. This Is all known
to the defense and there have been more
numerous conferences between the men
and their attorneys, and these have
lasted longer than before.
Effect of Moyer's Record.,
It is assumed that thesa revelations
and the effect they will have , upon the
public opinion are the cause of Hay
wood's changed countenance and also
of more or less nervousness observed
among persons closely identified with tjie
defense. This Information came as a
great surprise to the public here; It was
not known that Moyer bad ever led a
criminal life. He has been regarded as
the best man of the three, and It Is not
too much to say that the general public
has felt he was naturally on a higher

plane than the others. But this revels.
tlon knocks out all the underpinning
of that platform, and leaves him In a bad
position. Further, it necessarily pre
judices the others, though the old offense
can in nowise enter into this case unless
Moyer should go on the stand in his
own behalf.
Moyer's Identity Beyond Doubt.
The fact that the offenses were not
hasty acts, committed under stress of
circumstances, but part of the record of
a criminal career, makes it much worse.
There is no doubt about Moyer's being
the man who served In the Joliet prison.
The record is complete, also the identi
fication. He was a member of a hard
gang In Chicago that committed many
Climes and the record has risen up to
confront hint now and strike terror into
the hearts of those who are defendants
with him In this murder case. The state
has had tha record for a year. It la
detailed and circumstantial.

WHEAT BOUNDS ;
PAST DUE DOLLAR
Tremendous Rush to
Buy in Chicago.
DEMAND SWAMPS REACTION
Gloomy Crop Reports From All
Sides the Cause..
PRICE MAY REACH $1.5C
Roar of Voices Buys at Opening and
Realizing Sales Only Tcaipnr-.-
arily Check Advances Price
Gains Four Cents Net.
CHICAGO. May 13. In the most Ben
sational opening: in the history of the
Chicago Board of Trade, wheat today
shot past the dollar mark. Heavy real
ising sales pushed the price backward
somewhat, but at the close the mar
ket was strong, and, according; to ths
majority of speculators on the board.
the demand upon which the late ad
vance has been made Is still unsatis
fied. The net advance today for wheat
was 4 cents for July .nd September
options and 4 Ho for the December
option. From the low point of Monday
last, July wheat has advanced 134c;
September has gone up 164 c, and De
cember option, the higher point of the
day, was 16 o above the low prlca
of last Monday.
It was a certainty that a strong
bulge would take place In the wheat
market at the opening. Country orders
had poured In, seemingly In an endless
stream, and In obedience to them brok
ers stood ready to buy millions of bush
els at the market. Shorts were In a
highly nervous condition, and were ea.
ger to cover, .
' Roar of- Voices to Buy.
The result was that as soon as ths
gong sounded there was a terrifla
roar of voices, all anxious to buy and
nobody offering to sell. The trade was
too big and too broad to be followed
with any certainty, and brokers filled
orders frequently several cents away
from the point at which they had
hoped to buy. The confusion was 8a
great that for a few minutes but lit
tle actual business was transacted, ths
brokers fighting and struggling in tha
effort to get hold of wheat from any ,
body or at any price.
The July option sold, as soon as fig
ures could be registered out of the
confusion, anywhere between 98 and
94 cents, which was 1!4 to 2c higher
than the close of Saturday. September
opened at ,96 to 99 cents, which was
up lHc to 3c above the close of last
week. December showed a wider range T
than either of the other options, and
the opening quotations ran at all fig
ures botween 96 He and $1.03. This
price was 1H to 8c above ths final
quotations of Saturday.
. Rush of Business Stops Reaction.
The rush of buying orders seemed
to como from almost every city in tha
United States which was situated along
telegraph wire. .They came from
Winnipeg and from Louisiana, and
from points on the Pacific and At
lantic seaboards. The professional
traders were of the opinion that tha
opening was a little too vigorous, and
the chance to seize profits' on lines of
long wheat carried over Sunday tempt
ing. As soon, therefore, as trade stead-
led a trifle, millions of bushels were
thrown on the market on realizing
sales, and the advance tor a time was
checked.
The buying orders, however, still poured
In and the market soared up again.
Again the long wheat came out and
brought about a reaction and again the
country buyers forced it up. The situa
tion was too strong for any man or any
clique of men to stem. The country al
large seemed determined to buy wheat
at whatever price it could be had.
Legitimate Result of Conditions.
There were no claims In any direction
that the market was being manipulated.
The general opinion seemed to be that
the advance was based upon natural con.
dltions, which are certain to curtail in
large degree the world's coming crop of
wheat'. The advices from all parts of
the West and Northwest confirmed the
previous reports of damage by wealhef
and by Insects, while telegrams from
the Canadian Northwest declared thai
there was still no possibility of seeding
in the district and that every day of
delay meant the loss of thousands of
acres that might otherwise have been
sown to wheat.
Cablegrams reported the market at
Liverpool and Budapest to be In a highly
excited condition, with prices advancing
strongly. Liverpool was declared to be
affected by gloomy reports from Russia,
and It was the belief of many prominent
commission . men that Europe will be
forced to buy heavily In the American
market, and that the American market.
Instead of being able to meet this de
mand, will be scarcely strong enough to
supply such wheat as Is - needed for her
own consumption.
Such prominent traders as William H.
Bartlett and James A. Patten declared
