In the pres ence of a notable aaeemblace of per sons prominent in the social life of New York and many other cities. Miss Cornelia Harriman, second daughter of Mr. and Mrs. K. H. Harriman. today .be rame the bride of Robert Livingston Gnrry, son of Commodore and Mrs. Pl Kridffe Gerry, of New York. The cere mony was performed In Grace Episcopal church at Broadway and Tenth street in one of the busiest sections of the rlty: and so numerous were the auto mobiles, and carriages of the quests and so great was the throng- of sight seers that traffic on Broadway and the sdjacent cross streets was practically at a standstill for over half an hour. Crowd. $eyond' 'Police Control. A squadron of mounted "police pressed its horsec baqk . and . forth along the curb line in a vain endeavor to con fine the throng' to the .sidfewaHka, and the unmounted police finally were com pelled to abandon the attempt to keep traffic1 moving and confine-' their 'efforts to maintaining a clear pathway for the wedding party and gtirsts. The line of' Equipages and motor cars extended-down 'Broadway and-into the side streets for- a- long distance and, as the hour, of noon approached, many of the ftifrsts;' left jthoir vehicles and with, the assistance of the police made their way through the jam on tue -sidewalks to the church, the beautiful contumes of the women contrasting sharply with the plainer garb of the close-pressing throngs. When the ceremony was over hun dreds of women, in ther" eagerness to catch h glimpse of the wedding party, forevd their way past the lines of po lice and disregarded the. menace of the powerful motor cars, which slowly and haltingly made their way along. Church Beautifully Decorated. The Interior of the beautiful church was superbly decorated with a mass of palms and other greens and cut flow ers In profusion, the distinctive feature nf the scheme being a number of beau tiful flora! arches thrown across the renter aisle, up which the wedding party passed. A prtstly feature of the ceremony was the novel musical programme. In ad dition to the choral numbers and the ova an solos, there were pieces by the ligan, with violin and harp, and a vio lin solo with harp accompaniment. The bride was given away by her fathet ind the officiating clergyman was Rev. . K- Huntington, pastor of Grace Church, assisted by Rev. J. II. McGln ices. of Arden, where Mr. Harriman's country place is located, and the bent .liction was pronounced by Rev. W. C. Doane, the bishop of Albany. The maid of honor was Miss Mary Harriman, the bride's sister, and the bridesmaids were the Mioses Ruth Averill. Marion A. Clark. Margaret Ilx, Elsie Howland and Anita Tea body. The bride's gown was of white satin trimmed with -point del vehise lace, and she wore a Louis XV veil of point ap plique. Color scheme of the wedding was pink, bridesmaids being gowned in peach colored chiffon over taffeta silk of the tame hue. the brown plumes of their brown hats being tipped with peach. Mrs. Harriman wore a superb costume of pale mauve chiffon embroidered, with hat of the same color. The best man was Peter : Goelet Gerry, and the ushers were Rob art Goclct, Hradtsh G. Johnson, William Stackpole, Frederick Kernochan. Munson Morris. William Averill Harriman, all of New York, and Aaron Davis and John S. Ames, of Boston. Essentially American Union. After the ceremony a breakfast and reception was held at the Harriman resi dence. ST4 Fifth avenue, and. there the scheme of decoration was yellow, consist ing largely of delicate foreytia and yellow rose, while the illumination scheme was so arranged as to give the effect of soft ened sunlight. The union of these two prominent fami lies is given peculiar interest by the fact that U is essentially an American mar riage, there having been no foreign inter marriage in either family for more than 100 years. The bride's ancestry through the Xellhon and Bleeckor line, was close ly identified with the early civH and military history of the Republic. John Xeilson, her great-great-grandfather, was a Colonel In the Continental Army under Washington, and was elected from New Jersey to both the Continental Con gress and the Constitutional Convention, but was unable to take his scat in those bodies. Mr. Gerry, who is a Harvard man. is the great-grandson of that prov incial patriot and legislator, Klbridge Gerry, of Massachusetts, who was the founder of the Massachusetts Admiralty Court, and whoso assistance and interest In naval affairs was of great aid to the colonies In the Revolution. He was also a member of the Continental Congress and a signer of the Declaration of Inde pendence, tie was also one. of the fram va of the Constitution, but refused to place his signature to the famous instru ment on the ground that it conceded too great power to the President. He was sent on a special mission to Franco In r 1717. was later chosen Governor of Massa chusetts, and in 1M2 was elected Vice- ' President of the United States. After a brief honeymoon in this coun try, Mr. and Mrs. Gerry will go abroad for an extended tour. Ml Carol A. Harriman 111. NKW YORK. March 3. Miss Carol A. Harriman, daughter of B H.

SUE FOR IMMENSE ESTATE Portland and Seattle Women Attack Las torn Will. VORESTfcR, Mass.. March 3. Mrs. Mary -A. Booth. . of Portland,, and Mrs. Fanny Dunbar and Mrs. J. O. Cooper, of Seattle, have joined forces and entered suit In the courts here in an attempt to break the will of Mrs. Emma G. Vinton, a prominent Springfield society woman, t who at her death left her estates and fortune, amounting to $77,000,000, to i George D. Nelson, at one time a hostler and at whose home she lived for some years. She ignored her relatives entire- ly. They are her cousins. The will was drawn in laSS and makes Nelson execu tor and sole legatee without bonds. How much was transferred to hinf before her death cannot be ascertained. He came from the West In charge of horses 25 years ago. . SEATTLE. Wash., March X In re sponse to advices from the Bast that she was party to a. movement to contest the will of her late first cousin, Mrs. Emma Vinton, of Springfield, Mass., involving an estate worth more than $500,000, which was left to a non-relative, Mrs. J. C. Cooper, of 227 Fourteenth avenue north, says she knows such a contest is under way. but that she knows none of the details. Mrs. Vinton is a widow, who was left an immense estate by her husband, a manufacturer with no children, and when she died about two weeks ago there were but five cousins who were entitled to participation in the estate from the standpoint of blood relationship. Al though the names of Mrs. Fanny Dun bar, of Seattle, and of Mary Booth, of Portland, Or., are mentioned as partici pating in the proposed contest, Mrs. Cooper says she does not know either woman and has been under the impres sion all along that she and four- other first cousins were the only surviving rel atives. The others she assumed were -all-living in the East. BANK THEFT BOLD STROKE VACLT ROBBED DIRECTLY UN DER OWNER S STUDX. Believed That Rich Mexican Haul Was Made Possible by Accom plices Within the Institution. BL, PASO, Texas, March S. A dispatch from Chihuahua tonight says: The darinpr bank-robber, who on Sunday removed $2f6.O0O from the vaults of the Chihuahua branch of the Banco Minero, took the money from a vault directly under the study of Governor Enrique C. Creel, who has a residence in the upper stories of the building. t The lock to tiie document vault was broken from the inside, and the currency taken consisted- of notes already- issued and passing constantly over the counters. The numbers are unknown and identillca tion will be practically impossible. A statement has been issued by the bank officials calling: in ail outstanding 1000 peso notes for redemption. Most of the missing money was of this de nomination. A large quantity of silver, gold and bills of. small denominations were untouched by the robbers, although they were lying in the same compartment from which the currency was taken. It is believed that tire robbers had ac complices among the bank employes, and that they were concealed in the vault be fore closing time Saturday afternoon. The lock being broken from the inside of the vault, supports this theory. The bank watchman, the porter and two or three men of ifhknown antecedents have been arrested and are held in Jail. American detectives are here at work on the case, but if they have a clew to the robbers, the authorities refuse to make it public. MRS. NOYES HAD REVOLVER McComas Defense Weakened, as It Was Fully Loaded. L.US ANGEL.ES." March 3.

P,' McComas, today re turned a verdict to the effect that Mrs. Noyes wa shot hy -McConris with in tent to kill. Practically the only bit of new evidence introduced was the production of a revolver by police de tectives, who swore that it had been found by Captain of Detectives Falm mer and City Prosecutor Fleming in the bed occupied by Mrs. Noyes on the morning following the killing. The weapon found by the police is of 32-caliber. while the revolver used by McComas Was of 3S-calibcr. The po lice affirm that the revolver supposed to have been owned by Mrs. Noyes was fully loaded when found, thus weaken ing the theory of the defense that Mre. Noyes had tired at McComas before he shot her. The undertakers who have Mrs. Noyes body have been ordered to ship the remains to Melrose Highlands, Mass., wherts it Will be interred by rel atives.

SMALLPOX PANIC IN ROME Suppression of News Leads to Exag gen ted peports. ROME. March 1. Via Paris. March 3. The municipality of Rome has pursued a mistaken policy in endeavoring to sup press the news of an outbreak of small pox in this city in the fear of frightening away the Spring tourist trade, which constitutes a laree" source of revenue to the capital. Instead of pacifying the public fears, the method pursued in pro hibiting the sending of telegrams referring to -the oxitbreak has given rise to the spread of the tvildest and most ex aggerated reports. - There is practically a panic in Rome over this smallpox scare. The Iazarctto of Santa Sabina. where the cases have ben isolatcM. have- been surrounded by a body of troop- The action has re sulted in the shutting out of many tour ists who are lodged in a nearby hotel and caused much complaint.

The Foresters of America team, of Snohomish. Wash., has a clean record for the season, the only close game being the one played with the Nome Arctic Brotherhood team, when the game was called with two ' minutes to play- and the score 22 to 20, In favor of Snohomish. The game was stopped by the National Guard authorities, who were compelled to use -the floor for state inspection. Other teams taken into camp this season are the Bellinghaxn Y. M. C. A., Everett Y. M. C. A. (two games), Dawson, Pullman, and Port land Y. M. C. A. The Foresters team is oxit with a sweeping challenge to the world, Dallas. Or., preferred.

The lineup is a follows: Stevens, center and captain; Wal ton, Blackman and Crane, forwards; Hansen, i,ysons -ami Robb, guards. the road,' E. II. Harrlnian and John Jacob Asior were re-elected to the board; A. G. Hackstaff. who has been serving as a director since the death of John V. Welling, was chosen to fill the unex pired term, and Joseph F. Titus, assist ant to President Harahan, was elected to succeed Stuyvesant Fish upon the directorate. Armour to Be Director. Mr. Titus, however, is to serve only a few weeks, Mr. Harahan announcing to the stockholders that J. Ogden Armour, of Chicago, will be chosen to the board as soon as the stock owned by Mr. -armour can be transferred to his account on the books, thus making him a stock holder of record. Mr. Fish was not present at the meet ing and only a few of his allies were there to watch his interests. Neither were the bulk of the proxies held by Mr. Fish presented to the proxy committee. The report of that body showed that 5S4.688 shares out of a total of 950.400 out standing were entitled to be voted. Of those 581.450 were held by Mr. Harahan. Blocks Purchase of Branches. The comparatively small representation of stock at the meeting had one effect which was a bit disappointing to the ad ministration forces. With less than two thirds of the outstanding stock voting, it was found impossible to ratify legally the action of the board of directors ii agreeing to purchase two small branch lines, the Kensington & Eastern and the Memphis & State Line railroads. The charter of the railroad requires that 6S2. 00 shares shall be voted in favor of any proposition looking to the purchase of. other railways. Today only 583.046 were recorded In favor of the plan to purchase the two lines in question. Both proper ties, it was stated by Mr. Harahan, have been constructed with funds furnished by the Illinois Central. He added that the projects were begun during the ad ministration of Mr. Fish. ' Mr. Fish said tonight: Fish Party Xot Bound by Action. I refrained from takinq any .Part In the meeting becauFe I deemed it best for those stockholders whose proxies I hold that neither they nor I he in any manner hound hy anythlne done at the mectine.- Those, who have, left their proxies in my hands, vested me Tvith discretion to act for them as to their shares as I misht act. for my own.

FIGHT TEN 'ROUNDS Britt-Nelson Go Without De cisive Result. DANE UNAJ3LE TO LAND Only In Sixth Hound, Knockout Blow Goes Home and Opponent Is Saved by Gong Xo Savage Mixing. LOS ANGELES. March 3. Jimmy Britt. of San" Francisco, and "Battling" Nelson, of Hejreswich. III., fought 10 rounds before the Pacific Athletic Club in this city ionight, with Britt a slight victor in point of blows landed, and Nelson somewhat the stronger at the close, but unable to overcome the clev erness of his opponent. ' The flgrht OF NORTHWEST seemed ended In the sixth round,, when Britt appeared to have received a knockout blow at Nelsons' hands, but was 'saved by the gong. Nelson showed to advantage in only three rounds, because of telling blows landed when the men were sparring openly. The fight was by no means a savage affair, and at times the audience howled to the men to fight. Time ' after time Britt escaped the leads of the always coming Nelson, awaiting his opportunity to send in the hard lefts that finally tired the Dane and rendered it improbable that he would land a knockout blow. In all. Nelson did not land over a dozen blows that figured in the result, while Britt, always giving ground, stepped out of range whenever possible and frequent ly straightened Nelson up with the left. In conformity with the law, no decision was rendered. LOCATION OF RACING AUTOS Cars Are Now Scattered Over Three States. CHICAGO, March 3.
