Distinguished and notable in every
respect was the wedding of Charles
Henry Davis, Jr., and Miss Anita Burns,
solemnized last night at Trinity Epis
copal Church. It was a ceremony in
every way befitting the union of two
prominent families, that of the bride
groom being one of the oldest and
wealthiest In the Middle 'West; the
other, that of the bride, holding a sim
ilar position In Portland.
In addition to the prominence of the
two families, the young people are ex
tremely popular in society in Portland
and are quite attractive. The bride is
a. tall, handsome brunette, and the
brideftrocm. who is also tall, is a dis
tinct blonde.
The b'.ide was given in marriage by
l:cr lather. Walter John Burns, and
was adorable in her beautiful robe of
ivory-toned charmcuse, elaborated with
exquisite silver lace. Her full-length
veil was arranged in a coronet and was
fastened with orange blossoms. Her
shower bouquet was an artistic ar
rangement of white orchids and lilies
of the valley.
The bridegroom's gift a magnificent
stni.ir of Dearla. with pendant of Ilia
aree Dlalinum. set with diamonds, and
a large blue pear-shaped diamond
swinging in the center was the only
iewcl worn by the bride.
From a social standpoint, the affair
was brilliant and colorful, tne gowns
of the bridesmaids giving a rainbow
effect. They were of soft pastel tones
of shimmering satins, filmy laces ana
scintillating beaded chiffons. The maid
of honor. Miss Louise Burns, sister of
the bride, was charming in an exquisite
pastel pink chiffon shading to deep
rose, and Dink beaded bodice. She car
ried an armful of Killarney roses. Miss
Margery Hoffman and Miss Polly
Ycunsr wore pale pink gowns. Miss Cul
ly Cook and Miss Jean Mackenzie's
gowns were soft-toned green chiffon
over white satin, and Miss Frances Wil
son and Miss Cornelia Cook, both at
tractive brunettes, wore gowns of the
orchid shade of lavender. All six
bridesmaids carried artistic bouquets
of Madame Aaron Ward roses, the deep
orange tones of whica combined ad
mirably with violets, arranged in
shower?.
Mr. Davis was attended by Amasa
-n . c : T 1 - V. Thj. iiahr
were Kurt Koehler, C. Hunt Lewis, Jor-
aan an, .cms xsragg. nuucutu .nacnj
and Jack Burns, brother of the bride.
Mr. Davis' gifts to his best man and
ushers were handsome gold wrist
watches, with the date of the wed-
dinr and Initials.
The hundreds of fashionably-attired
guests who thronged the church added
to the brilliancy of the scene with
their chic costumes and gorgeous
wraps. A large reception was held at
the home, of the brides parents, Mr.
and Mrs. 'Walter John Burns, which
was artistically decorated for the oc
casion. The bridal party received tuo
good wishes and congratulations of
their friends standing before a solid
bank of feathery green and small white
daisies. Receiving with them were Mr.
and Mrs. Burns, Mr. and Mrs. Charles
H. Davis. Sr., and Mr. and Mrs. Fred
erick Weyerhaeuser, of' St. Paul, broth
er-in-law and sister of the bridegroom.
The drawing-room was decorated elab
orately with masses of hydrangeas In
blue and pink tones, and the bride's
table on the lawn was adorned with a
profusion of bride's roses.
A charming and delightful custom
of the old world the ringing of the
chimes at the conclusion of the cere
mony was observed. The utmost
simplicity prevailed in the church dec
orations, the chancel being banked
with palms and ferns. Tall vases of
lilies were used on the altar. Lucien
E. Becker presided at the organ.
The scene in the gardens is one
which will linger in the memory of
the hundreds of guests present. It
resembled a fairyland, soft strains of
music being wafted on the air and
the trees and growing flowers of the
garden mingled with the gaily-colored
Japanese lanterns strung from the
house to the marquis brought forth
bursts of delight from the assem
blage.
The spacious lawns surrounding th
Burns residence were gaily adorned
with a huge marquee, lighted with
Japanese lanterns. Here a buffet
wedding supper was served and the
brido's table was also placed at one
corner of the marquee. An orchestra
playing on the veranda and the mellow
moonlight lured the guests out of
doors, the weather also lending Itself
graciously to this auspicious occasion,
and the ensemble presented a memora
ble picture.
Miss Mary Robertson caught the
bride's bouquet. Mrs. Davis' golng-
away suit was a smartly tailored
model of blue serge trimmed with seal
collar and cuffs, with a scarlet bro
caded velvet vest. She wore a chic dark
blue hat and a corsage of orchids.
Mr. and Mrs. Davis will pass several
weeks in the East and upon their re
turn in November will be at home at
1S3 North Twentieth street.
I room was gay with a decoration of
golden eschscholltza arranged in brass
bowls. The dining-room was decorated
with yellow flowers and .the halls and
library were bright with roses of
varying shades. Mrs. Collsta Murray
Dowlicg, president oi the club, was
asHiBted In receiving by several prom
inent members.
An Interesting- wedding which was
solemnized last night was that of Miss
Ina ilay Wiggins to Rev. Henry Mar
cotte, rector of the Westminster Pres
byterian Church, in Irvington. The cer
emony was performed at the home of
the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Rob
ert Wiggins, and was a simple affair,
both parties being unattended, and
only a few friends and relatives being
present. Rev. Dr. W. S. Holt offici
ated, and also will take charge of Mr,
Marcolte's work until his return from
a. wedding trip.

COLUMBIA BRIDGE
BOND CMIGN ON
Interstate Span Unanimously
Indorsed at Meeting in
North Portland.
WORK TO BE EDUCATIONAL
Matter of Approaches or Details of
Construction Declared Not Part
of Present CamialgnFunds
First Consideration.
Launching the campaign in behalf
of the proposed Multnomah County
bond Issue for this county's shares of
the Columbia interstate bridge, the
population and more than 20 .times the
taxable wealth, cannot well stand back
when its duty is thus plainly put be
fore it."
Mr. Riley and other speakers empha
sized the fact that the details of the
bridge structure or the place of its
approaches are matters that do not
enter into the present campaign. The'
interstate bridge committee neither has
authority nor v inclination to make
plans or recommendations on these
minor points, which will properly come
before the state commission.
Fonda Declared First Keed.
The one thing now paramount, de
clared all the speakers, is to secure
the funds that will make the building
of the bridge possible, and every section
of the city and county is urged to give
its full support to the campaign for
the bond issue.
Unanimously at the close of the pro
gramme of addresses, the North Port
land Commercial Club voted indorse
ment of the movement. Other speak
ers besides Mr. Riley and S. Li Wood
ward, president of the club, who pre
sided, were: Henry Crass, president
of the Vancouver Commercial Club;
J. H. Stapleton and W. P. Connaway,
of Vancouver; Alison Burnham, of the

mittee.

keynote of the campaign in his address
last night state pride, civic duty and
economic advantage.
Epipire Declared Waiting.
He pointed out that Portland has
developed through its transportation
facilities reaching out In every direc
tion, and that in the direction of Van
couver alone this outstretching growth
nas not been carried on fully. South
western Washington he pointed to as
a great, undeveloped agricultural em
pire, rightfully within the tributary
trade territory of Portland and eager
for direct avenues through which to
come into its trade center.
"Clarke County, with a population
of onlyabout 26,000, has bonded Itself
for J50.S00 for Its share of the bridge,"
he said. "It has come to the middle of
the river to meet us. Multnomah'

BY LEONE CASS BAER.
Y only objection to Portland Is,
that it's too far away from
Honolulu to go back and forth
as often as Id lie." That is what
Charles N. Walker, who is exhibiting
the picturesque Hawaiian pictures at
the Heillg Theater, says.
Mr. Walker is a Portland product.
His folks live here yet. at 251 Stanton
street. Charles Nathaniel first went to
school at a little schoolhouse on what
was known to all the country side as
old Captain Love's place. Captain Love,
by the way, was Charies Nathaniel's
great-grandfather on his mother's side.
This schoolhouse stood where the Van
couver bridge now lands. After leav
ing that temple of learning, he at
tended the Peninsula school, next th-s
Portsmouth and then the Williams-
avenue school. All of this isn't partic
ularyl of interest save that the other
day Charles went on a still hunt to
vi.w these buildings that housed him
when he was learning his ab-abs and
O-I-see-the-cows end he couldn't
locate a solitary one of the buildings.
Finally, with the help of a native, he
found the Portsmouth school.
We wMl skip a few years of the so
far uneventful life of Charles Walker.
Now we find him engaged in the fuel
and feed store on the Peninsula, after
taking every course there was to offer
n a local business college. The rea
son I mention the fuel and feed busi
ness is that it was the vehicle by which
he rode to enough prosperity to in
dulge in taking motion pictures all
over the islands of Hawaii for almost
three years. Also he points with more
or leas pardonable pride to the fact
that he was the first promoter of the
Portland Suburban Express Company,
and the first load carried over the line
when organized was a mess of fuel or
feed for his store.
Three years ago he went to the
islands and just played about and had
a good time visiting and resting up
for a while. Then he decided that as
field for motion pictures, the natives
of Hawaii, their customs, costumes and
lack of them, pursuits and occupation.
if any, presented a great opportunity
for the right man. Feeling he was the j

right young man he cornered the
market. . Such little things as going
without food for 24. hours in order to
get the lava bed at its busiest moment
is only one or the thousand difficulties
he ran up against.
"But of all my worries, the nicturo
of the natives in the garb of old war
riors was almost the last straw" h
confided. "There were 75 of them, all
ignorant, and not understanding what
was wanted. As fast as I'd sret one
garbed to appear in the picture, the
others would decide to take otT their
fine feathers and I'd have to round
them all up once more."
The pictures now showing at th
Heillg are only a tew. of Mr. Walker's
big collection.
Pointed denial of the allegations
against Samuel Hill, which are con
tained in some of the answers filed
Monday in the telephone "trust" case
in the United States District Court,
are made by A. L. Mills, vice-presi
dent of the Home Telephone Company,
of Portland, and president of the First
National' Bank.
Mr. Mills denounces as absurd the
allegations that Mr. Hill was instru
mental in forcing the Northwestern
Long Distance Telephone Company and
other independent companies to the
wall and bringing about their financial
ruin.
In a statement issued yesterday he
says :
Everyone knows how intensely
loyal Mr. Hill is to any cause in which
he is interested. When Mr. Hill be
came president of the Portland Home
Telephone Company and found that the
Bell Telephone Company was violating
the Sherman anti-trust law and, in
consequence,- was injuring the property
he represented, he did not leave a stone
unturned to protect the interests of his
stockholders. With that end in view.
he went to Washington during the last
Administration and presented the facts
in the telephone matter to ex-Attor
ney-General WIckcrsham, who at once
directed that an Investigation be made
by the. Federal grand jury. Before
such investigation was completed the
Administration changed.
"Mr. Hill again went to Washington
and took the matter up with Attorney
General McReynolds, who appointed
Constantine J. Smyth special prosecu
tor, to make in vestigation of the tele
phone situation in the 'Northwest,
which resulted in the action by the
United States Government in filing the
present suit against the Bell Telephone
Company a procedure that probably
has the approval of the President of
the United States. It is a suit of the
Government, brought after a thorpugh
investigation by the Government's rep
resentatives, against the Bell Tele
phone Company. The Government did
not even deem it advisable to make Mr.
Hill a party to such suit.
"Mr. Hill's course in the whole mat
ter has met the approval and cordial
support of the directors of the Port
land Home Telephone Company, and
when all the evidence in the suit is
brought out, the public will be con
vinced, as are his directors, that Mr.
Hill is the right man in the right
place."
"HELLO" GIRL IS MARRIED
Operator at Hotel Oregon Becomes
Bride of Ralph Marshall.
Miss Luella Schmaling, one of the
night telephone operators at the Hotel
Oregon, was married yesterday after
noon in Vancouver to Ralph Marshall,
of Portland. Miss Schmalinsr handed
in lier resignation in the morning, but
denied that she was going away on a
honeymoon trip, when it was suggest
ed that this might be the reason for
her resignation. She returned later
in the afternoon, however, to receive
congratulations from her former com
panions among the employes of the
hotel.
Mr. and Mrs. Marshall will make a
trip through California and will make
their future home in Sacramento.
Superintendent Alderman Believes
Attendance Will Be Augmented
When Families Return From
Beaches and Hopyards.
Although there were 102 fewer pu
pils enrolled for the opening day at
the public schools of Portland this
year than there were last, the defi
ciency already has been made up, and
the second day shows an enrollment of
62 more pupils than there were on the
second day of the 1912 session.
The increase 'n the enrollment yes
terday over the opening day was 872.
There were 24.536 as agcinst 23,474 in
the previous year, and Superintendent
Alderman believes theie will be a ma
terial increase as the term aavances.
Some of the schools show an increase
over last year of from 30 to 60 pu-J
Dils. Few or tnem snow a decrease.
and this is mostly due to transfers to
other schools.
Superintendent Alderman believes
that several hundred pupils still are
at the beaches or In the country hop
picking and that the end of the week
will show a large increase In the en
rollment. Last year it was raining at
this time and the children returned to
the city earlier.

CHIEF WILL WOT LOSE PAY
Court Overrules Effort to Tie
Oregon City Man's Salary.
OREGON CITY, Sept. 16. (Special.)
Ed Shaw, as chief of police, won his
salary claim for $1100 in the Circuit
Court Monday when Judge Eakin over
ruled the demurrer of Grant B. Diniick
and held that the City Council had
not only the right to appoint the chief,
but that it was its duty to do so in
a time of emergency.
Mr. Dimick, ex-Mayor of the city,
brought suit to stop payment of salary
to Chief Shaw. In the court's ruling
it was held that the Council in ap
pointing Shaw as chief of police not
only acted with in its rights but per
formed what was Its actual duty under
the circumstances. '
