WASHINGTON. Nov. 25. Mis Jessie
Woodrow Wilson, second daughter of
the President and Mrs. Wilson, was
married today to Francis Bowes Sayre,
of New Tork. The ceremony was per
formed at the White House in the pres
ence of close friends, a few high offi
cials of the Government and members
of the diplomatic corps, and while the
bride's desire for simplicity was the
ruling note, the scene was one of rare
brilliancy. "
Mr., and Mrs. Sayre left tonight for
their h&neymoon in Europe. The itiner
ary is not announced. Mr. Sayre 'on
their return in January will become
assistant to President Garfield, of Wil
liams College.
The wedding ceremony, the double
ring service of the Presbyterian Church,
was performed by . Dr. Sylvester W.
Beach, of Princeton University, assisted
by Rev. John Nevin Sayre, a brother of
the bridegroom. i
Arrangements Made Simply.
The arrangements were simple. The
guests assembled in the east room,
members of the Cabinet, the Justices of
the United States Supreme Court and
the diplomatic' corps resplendent in
their uniforms of bright colors and
gold brocades being gathered in the
south half of the room. In the other
half, north of the green carpeted aisle,
marked by white satin bands, were the
close friendsnd relatives.
Just at 4:3uoclock Mrs. Wilson de
scended the main staircase escorted by
Colonel W. W. Harte. chief aide to the
President. She was followed by Mr.
"and Mrs. Joseph R. Wilson, Miss Helen
Woodrow Bones, escorted by Dr. Cary
T. Grayson, and Mrs. Sayre, escorted
by Commander Needham Jones. U. S. N.
The party took their places on the left
of the dais where the bridal party
stood.
Wedding Procession Begins.
Dr. Beach, attired in a collegiate
gown, with a master's hood of white
silk, entered next with Rev. Mr. Sayre,
whose white surplice made a striking
contrast to the dark vestment of his
colleague. There was a pause of a
minute and then to the strains of the
bridal chorus from "Lohengrin" the
bridegroom, accompanied by Dr. Wil
fred T. Grenfell,' his best man, walked
slowly to the altar. Then the ushers
led the bridu procession in twos-
Charles Kvans Hughes, Jr.. Dr. Gilbert
Horrax, then Dr. Dewitt Scovill Clark
and Benjamin Burton.
The bridesmaids, the first two
- gowned in deepest pink and the others
in pink of a lighter tint, followed slow
ly down the corridor that bisects the
main floor of the White House and en
ters the east room at its center.
Miss Eleanor Wilson, the youngest
of the President's daughters, and Miss
Mary White were first, followed by
Miss .Adeline Mitchell Scott and. Miss
Marjorie Brown. All wore piquant
little bonnets with upstanding frills of
silver lace. Miss Margaret Wilson,
the eldest daughter and- maid of honor
wore palest pink. ' AH carried pink
loses.
Bride Reuuesta Word "Obey."
They preceded the bride, who passed
down the aisle leaning on the arm of
. iier father. The bride wore a diamond
brooch on a long platinum chain, the
gift of the bridegroom, and carried a
bouquet of lilies of the valley.
The service was a blending o,f the
Episcopalian and Presbyterian forms.
In the latter the word "obey" is not
included in the promise of "to love,
honor and obey," but on the bride's
especial request it was inserted.
Dr. Beach spoke the service In a
low, even tone, the -guests standing
in reverent silence. As the two
pledged their troth, Mr. and Mrs. Wil
son stood hand in hand.
"Who glveth this woman to be mar
ried by this man?"
The President stepped forth, took
the .hand of his daughter and placed
It in that of Mr. Sayre.
"I, Francis Bowes, take thee, Jessie
Woodrow, to be my wedded wife," re
peated the bridegroom after Dr.
Beach, "and I do promise and covenant
, before God and these witnesses to be
thy loving and faithful husband In
plenty and in want, in joy and in sor
row, in sickness and in health,' as
long as we both shall live."
Two Rlnga Are I Med.
The bride repeated the same except
that to her response was added "to be
thy loving, faithful and obedient
wife."
The minister took the ring from Dr.
Grenfell, the best man, handed It to
Sayre, who placed It on the bride's
third finger, and repeated the pledge
Of "constant faith and abiding love."
The bride took her ring from the
hand of her maid of honor and as she,

somewhat embarrassed about his dress.
"I had to get some one to help me

One member made converts by
gaining confidence of "family

Same member made recruit of
boy whom he taught to break

to take up collections.
Letters show constant cry for
"money, money, money," with
work as last resort.
.-Officers seemingly do not trust
fellow members and , apparently
plan to "double cross" one an
other. Portland local seems to be "in

to pay dues.
Officers of locals are fostering

grows out of collection of dues.
Letters written 'by members of the
Industrial Workers of the World to
officers of the organization who re

show that there is much Internal strife
among the membership over the pay
ment of dues, the manner in which the
headquarters In Chicago and the locals
are conducted and over the policy and
management of the several publications
which ambitious "higher-ups" in the
organization are seeking to have the
lay members support.
Copies of these letters now are in the
possession of Governor West. They

organizations at the various lumber
and railroad camps were practicing
sabotage not against their employers,
but against their fellow employes by

laper Left In Florence.
It was when some of these alleged
acts came to the attention of the
people of Florence that they organized
a committee and ordered the Industrial
Workers' of the World leaders to leave
the town. When they made their hur
ried exit they left many ot their let
ters, papers, books and other docu
ments behind.
Among the exhibits prominently "dis
played in the Industrial Workers of the
World office at Florence was a. picture
of Jesus Christ, upon which had been
pinned a red necktie and an Industrial
Workers of the World badge. Above
it was printed in crude letters, "Fel
low worker, Jesus."
Below was the legend, "The first
hobo."
C'hriatlans Lend Support.
This also aroused the wrath of the
Christian people of Florence, who lent
their moral if not their physical sup
port to the act of deportation.
Most of the letters found in the of
fice were written to Ed Ross, secretary
of local No. 88, the removal of which
from Eugene to Florence caused the
people o Florence to take concerted
action. '
Extracts from the letters found
throw interesting sidelights upon the
attitudes of the officers of the organ
ization, the distrust with which they
view one another, the desperate efforts
to-owhlch they sometimes are put to
continue collection of dues from the
lay members and the devious ways
that they adopt to gain recruits to the
fold.
"If you are going to change your
mind about moving to Florence, surely
Mapleton is a better place to light than
Gardiner, as the stiffs all come there
to get .mail," writes a "worker" who
signs himself "Bradley" to Secretary
Ross on October 26. This was while
Ross and his associates had under con
sideration the removal of the Eugene
local to some point on Coos Bay where
they could gain recruits from among
the men employed on the Southern Pa
cific's extension. In previous letters
they had complaintsd that "pickings
are poor" at Eugene.
