TVASHINGTOX. Oct. It. The Presi dent and Mrs. Norman Gait, his fiancee, began today making- preliminary ar rangements for their wedding, but their detailed plans have not been discussed, even with their intimate friends or relatives. A wedding trip is being cosidered. but the place has not been revealed. The Presidential yacht Mayflower may be used. Despite reports that the Wedding mignt be held soon, it was said today, in well-informed quarters that the plans still were for. a wedding early in December. Dinner Given at White House. A dinner was given by President Wil son at he White House tonight for -Mrs. Oalt, the small party including fceiretary and Mrs. McAdoo. who leave tomorrow for a trip through the West. Secretary and Mrs. McAdoo will not return to Washington for nearly a month, and as Miss Margaret Wilson, the Presidents eldest daughter, will not come for the Winter until about October 20, it now is considered cer tain that the President and Mrs. Gait have not changed their original inten tion of delaying their marriage at leajt a month. The President and Mrs. Gait are be ing urged to go to Pass Christian. Miss., for their honeymoon by the Misses Lucy and Mary Smith, cousins of the President, whose home is at New Orleans. The President spent Christmas at Pass Christian two years ago and It was suggested today that he might be married during the Christmas recess of Congress and go for a short trip South. Heritage Is Royal. Mrs. Gait is proud of the fact that Fhe is a descendant, in the ninth gen eration, from the marriage of John Jtolfe and Pocahontas, the Indian prin cess who saved Captain John Smith's life when the doughty English colon ist was to have been kilted at her fath er's orders. R. W. Boeling, brother of Mrs. Gait, confirmed the family's descent from the Indian princess and the British col onist, Rolfe. He said the family had always taken great pride in their lineage. Mrs. Gait will bring to the White House the first strain of Indian blue blood that the historic executive man sion has ever known. Literally she is an Indian princess, by descent, and can rightfully claim "royal blood." Pocahontas is a familiar figure In American history. Every schoolboy knows the story of her Intervention to cave Captain John Smith., Records Show Relation. While records in the Virginia State Library do not indicate the relationship of Mrs. Gait herself to the famous Ind ian princess, they do state very clearly the relationship of the Boeling family to the Indian princess. Jane Rolfe, daughter of Thomas Rolfe. who went to Virginia In 1640 and "ruled at Henricopolis. 16 miles below Richmond, following the death In Eng land of his parents. John Rolfe. and Pocahontas Rolfe, was married in 1675 to Colonel Robert Boeling, of Boellng's Hall, near Bradford, England, who set tled in Virginia in 1660, following the troublous days of the Stuart kings, liying a year later, she left one son. Robert Boeling. Jr. Powhatan Boeling. descendant of this Boeling. ran for Congress against John Randolph, of Roanoke. Va., afterward Speaker of the House of Represent atives, who was himself a descendant of Pocahontas, being a son of Jane Boding. Tastes I.Ike Tbme of President, Like the President, a native of Vir arinla, having been born and reared In the western mountains about Wythe Ville, Mrs. Gait comes from one of the Old Dominion's "blue-blood" families. Her father. Judge William Boeling, was R prominent lawyer. Her brother. Ralph Boeling. is' a Government em ploye in Panama. She was educated In a Wytheville private school. Tastes of the President and Mrs. Gait are in common. She is deeply Inter ested In literature and, like the Presi dent's first wife, is interested in charit able work. Mrs. Gait is also a business woman. Hie owns and operates, through a rela tive, one of the largest Washington jewelry stores. When her husband lied, eight years ago. she bought the Interests of his brother in the store. Kondness for books and music is an other characteristic of the President's fiancee. She is an accomplished pianist tind is said to have a sweet voice. She takes keen interest in outdoor sports, Tolt and baseball especially. She hai also followed the hounds.

FIANXEE OF PRESIDENT WILSON WHO IS ALREADY PLANNING HONEYMOON. " 111 J C j'"' J& 1 r7 ' IF " .fef MRS. NORMAN GALT. ARMY AIRMAN FALLS Lieutenant W. D. Taliaferro Killed at San Diego. MACHINE DROPS 1000 FEET Body Strikes in Bay Near Shore. but Rescue Craft Which Rush to Spot Are Unable to Find Trace of "Young Officer. SAX DIEGO, Cal., Oct. 11. Lieutenant Walter X. Taliaferro, stationed at the United States Army Aviation Corps School at North Island, fell 1800 feet Into ban Diego Bay this morning and was killed. His body has not yet been recovered. . Lieutenant Taliaferro ascended from the Army hangars on North Island this morning, and had been almost continuously in the air when, about 11:30 o'clock, his machine became un manageable and fell into San Diego Bay, about a quarter of a mile from shore, and where the water is about 0 feet deep. Rescue boats put out from the shore, but after a long search no trace of the aeroplane or of -Talia ferro's body had been found. The cause of the accident has not yet been de termined. Lieutenant Taliaferro was accounted one of the most accomplished' aviators in the Army service. He haa", several times distinguished himself by remark able nights, one of his last being Sep tember 17, when he established a new American duration record for pilots by remaining in the air nine hours and 48 minutes. Taliaferro rose to his rank of first lieutenant of artillery from the ranks. He was born in Kentucky December 9, 1880. April 20 of this year Taliaferro was married to Miss Leicester Sehon, daughter of the late Captain John L. Sehon, U. S. A., retired, and ex-Mayor of San Diego, the wedding being one of the biggest social events of the season. Divers from the United States cruiser San DieRO worked all day to recover the body, but failed to bring the wrecked aeroplane to the surface by dusk. The machine, which fell from a height of 1800 feet, is held fast in mud, and Army officers who are directing the work say it will require several hours to remove it. Taliaferro, it is declared by eye witnesses, was attempting to loop the loop when the fatal plunge began. Ho was strapped to his seat and did not have a chance to are himself. DEAD AV1ATOH SERVED HEHtK Lieutenant Taliaferro Is Known at Vancouver Barracks. - VANCOUVER BARRACKS. Wash., Oct. 11. (Special.) Lieutenant Walter R. Taliaferro, who lost his life by falling Into the bay at San Diego while maneuvering an aeroplane, was well known to many officers and men in the post. He left this post nearly three years ago for San Diego to join the aviation corps. When a friend told him that it was almost as bad as committing suicide for him to take up navigation of the air, he calmly replied: "Well, a fel low might as well die in the air as on the land. I'm willing to take a chance." He was with the artillery when he left here. Lieutenant Lucien H. Taliaferro, with the Sixth Field Artillery at Camp Eagle Pass. Texas, is a brother of the dead aviator. YAKIMA MEN NAMED GOVERNOR LISTER PRESENT AT COV-N'TY S'OMIXATIOXS. W. rc. (nnbi and W.

WILSON ADVISED TO MUZZLE REDFIELD Fellow Democrats Urge Presi dent to Meet Demand for Revision of Tariff. ISSUE AROUSES COUNTRY Action to Forestall Conditions at .. Close or War Regarded as Polit ical . Xeocseiy if .Demo crats Are to Win. OREGOX1AX NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington. Oct. 11. President" Wilson Is being advised by Democratic politicians to renounce the tariff views of his Sec retary of Commerce and to urge on I Congress the necessity for making im portant changes in the Underwood tariff law. These advisers of the President, alarmed by widespread dissatisfaction with the present tariff, concerned be cause that law has proved a failure as a producer of revenue, and espe cially alarmed over what may happen at the close - of the European war. caution the President to act wisely on the tariff before It is too late. Those Democratic politicians who feel that revision is a -political necessity if the Democratic party is to remain in power, have pointed out that action nust come at the approaching session. it tne tarirt is not then revised. It will be too late for the party to de rive any benefit from the issue in the campaign. Tariff Canaot Be Avoided. For a long time it was the hope of Administration supporters that the Democracy could force foreign rela tions to the fore in the campaign and ignore the tariff. National defense and other issues which the Republicans naturally intend to raise. , They were content to rest their case largely on the fact that President Wilson has kept tho United States out of the European war. They have come to realize late ly that they cannot avoid meeting the tariff issue and other big issues the Republicans will force to the front. Notice ihaving been served on the Democrats that National defense will be made a party issue it the coming Congress fails to provide for an ade quate Army and Navy, the President appears to be disposed to go much further that many of his party asso ciates, farther than his Secretary of the Navy, but not so far as his Secre tary of War. Under White House orders Secretary Daniels has modified his views to conform with those of the President, but Secretary Garrison, on the other hand, has been forced to abandon the advocacy of an Army of 220,000, and to compromise on a smaller force. The President intends to take a middle "round. Gagging of Redfield Advised. Whether the President's views on the tariff can be as readily changed as were his views on preparedness is still a problem. It Is unreasonable to sup pose that the Secretary of Commerce the tariff expert of the Cabinet would have declared officially against a tariff revision had he not first consulted the President. . Yet nothing did more to arpuse agitation in favor of modifica tion of . the Underwood Jaw revision upward than this assertion of Secre tary Redfield. Democrat' after Demo crat who has called on the President In tho past 10 days has urged him to put a gag on Secretary Redfield. With the agitation for an upward revision of the tariff comes a renewal of the demand for a non-partisan tariff commission. Republicans generally are demanding such a commission; Pro gressives are clamoring for it: some Democrats want it. The Administra tion meets this demand with the as sertion that the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce and the Federal Trade Commission meet all the mands of a Tariff Commission and are equippea luiiy to advise Congress on necessary tariff changes. The fact remains that both bodies have regular work they must perform other than the gathering of data on which to base a tariff revision, and the further fact is important they have as yet made no investigations which would enable them to recommend tariff cnanges at tne coming session of Con gress, unless it be the Trade Commis sion could recommend the restoring of a certain amount of duty on lumber.
