ence of a notable aaeemblace of per

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.

VORESTfcR, Mass.. March 3. Mrs.
Mary -A. Booth. . of Portland,, and Mrs.
Fanny Dunbar and Mrs. J. O. Cooper, of

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

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. A Coro
ner's jury, sumrnoned to investigate
the death ot Mrs. Charlotte I Noyes.
who was shot and killed last Friday
night by - W." 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. HOLD UP SOCIAL IDEALS

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. No Americans
are in the hotel in question.

A. G. Hackstaff. who has been serving

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.

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:

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.
