OREGON IS GOOD MARKET
Eastern-Made Furniture Shipped Tn
Ine to Lack of Native Hardwoods.
Figures recently compiled by the
Forest Service show that the furniture
manufacturers of Oregon use annually
nearly 7,000,000 feet, board measure, of
lumber, more than half of which is
Douglas fir and maple.
Oregon is a good market for Eastern
made furniture, as the local industry is
unable to supply the demand in this
respect. This is due in a measure to
the lack of native hardwoods, such as
are found in the Middle West, suitable
for chairs, buffets and dressers; and
also to the difficulties in the way of
getting Eastern hardwoods to Oregon.
The report suggests that better
transportation facilities provided by
the Panama Canal will enable the local
furniture makers to import Eastern
caDinet woods and thus furnish not only
larger quantities of furniture, but also
a higher grade article. Even under the
present handicap, however, the mar.u
facturers of furniture in Oregon find
a ready market for their product, not
only in the state, but also in Utah, Ne
vada. California and the Orient.
Besides Douglas fir and maple, the
manufacturers of furniture use such
other Oregon wtiods as ash. cotton-
wood, alder, oak. Western red cedar
ana myrtle. They also import some
eioenan ana Japanese oaks.
JOKE COSTS MAN'S LIFE
Climbing to Scaffold Where Com
rades Are, Workman Grasps Wire.
NEW YORK, July 1. Richard W.
Graves. 28 years old. of No. 71 Wash
ington street. Harrison, N. J., lost his
life because he wanted to hear a joke.
He was working in the Crucible Steel
company s building in Harrison with
John Ciriggs and another man, putting
up new wiring.
Griggs and the other man climbed to
a scaffold about 20 feet in the air to
pursue their work. They were lautrh
ing and joking. Graves, curious to
near the joke, started to climb the lad
der.
Griggs, looking down the ladder, saw
Graves with a live wire in his hands.
txriggs instantly struck Graves on th
head with the handle of a hammer to
shock him and make him fall away
from his grip on the wire. Graves
toppled and Griggs reached down and
caught him as he started to fall. He
Held nim until the other man climhnd
down the ladder and assisted him in
carrying the shocked man to the
ground. Just after Griggs grabbed
waves tne latter, although he had re
ceived 2100 volts, cried feebly:
"I'm all right. Jack."
When they got Graves to the bottom
of the ladder he was dead.
Dutch Had First Ironclad.'
InilliifntnnHu Maute
Many people imagine that . the first
armored shop was the "ironclad fri
gate" Gloire. launched for the French
navy in 1857; yet. according to the
Popular Science Monthly, the Dutch
built an armor-plated, vessel nearly 300
years earlier. That was in 1585. when
Antwerp was besieged by the Span
lards. The Dutch took one of their
biggest ships, cut her down and erect
ed on the deck a battery with armored
and sloping sides, within which they
mounted eight of the heaviest guns the
factories of the day could produce. The
roof of the battery formed an armored
breastwork for men armed with cross
bows and shotguns and there were
gratings in the roof to provide ven
tilation for the battery below. The ship
bore a striking resemblance to the
Merrimac, of the Civil War, which was
designed and built on precisely the
same principles.
LOWLY CORN COB PIPE
Virtue in It, Although Many Wom
en May Say "Xay."
Indianapolis News.
There is virtue in a corn cob pipe.
Many women will deny this. Some,
who have endured this herculean odor
for the sake of the quieting effect it
seemed to exert over a husband who
is given to occasional manifestations
of 111 temper, will declare that while it
may be virtuous at times, it is never
more virtuous than when reposing in
an airtight fruit jar on the cellar stairs.
Nevertheless, the corn cob pipe Is
not a thing to be sneezed at. It is a
democratic Institution. One evidence
of the fact that this country is not so
democratic as foreigners believe, is
that acoording to the code of an Amer
ican gentleman, the corn cob pipe must
not be smoked while wearing a silk
hat. But some men find difficulty in
adapting themselves to the "Missouri
meerschaum." They contend that the
first puff from a new cob pipe is like
a breath from the nether regions. This
aversion arises from the circumstance
that, like a sponge, a new cob pipe
should be dipped in water before it is
used. After the first pipeful of tobacco
has been smoked, it will be found that
a liberal coat of ashes has attached
itself to the walls of the pipe, render
ing it thereafter much less likelv to
burn the tongue than If it were initi
ated without the formality of baptism.
There is one place, however, where
the cob pipe is distinctly dangerous,
and that Is in the mouth of a beginner
in the mellow art of smoking. Mothers
who dread the day when their sons
shall feel obliged to assert their en
trance into man's estate by acquiring
a taste for tobacco, will do well to buy
a corn cob pipe and leave it carelessly
about the house. In time it will be
missed, bo will the boy's appetite. But
the appetite will come back.
Two Kinds of Boys.
Cleveland Leader.
The story is told of a bov who forced
his way into a merchant's private of
fice and said to him:
"Excuse me, sir. but I want a Job and
I'm in a hurry."
'You do. eh?" responded the mer
chant, "and why are you in such a
hurry?"
Got to hurry." replied the vounester.
"Left school yesterday and haven't
struck anything yet. I can't waste
time, and if you haven't got anything
I'll be moving on. The only place I can
stop long is where they pay me for it."
When can you come?" inquired the
surprised boss.
'Don't have to come," was the quick
reply. I'm here now. and would have
been at work before this if you'd
said so.
The sequel, of course, is that the boy
got the job and went to work or the
spot. We all know the moral intended
to be conveyed.
It's a perfectly good story one of
the kind that go well in interesting
talks and magazine articles by brisk,
well-dressed young fellows who are
showing old business men all about
efficiency and economy.
But isn't it just possible that the
quiet boy who was sitting modestly in
the ante-room, waiting for permission
to address the merchant, and who had
no fireworks conversation to hand out
when he was given a chance to ask for
a job, was the better boy of the two
and the winner in the long run?
How Italy Hates Austria.
Chicago Daily Journal.
Austria and Italy are at each other's
throats. And not for the first time.
Italy has always hated Austria, as the
ill-treated small boy hates the school
bully. Here is a story from, the San
Francisco News Age of October 6. 1866,
when Austria still ruled Northern
Italy, which gives an odd sidelight on
this hate:
"As a proof of Austrian unpopular
ity in Venetia, it is related that a bal
let dancer at Venice, while dancing at
the theater there, had a bouquet
thrown her, tied with a ribbon in the
Italian colors. She immediately kissed
the ribbon, which created tremendous
enthusiasm among the audience.
'After the performance she was
called to the police office, and sharply
reprimanded for this act of patriotism.
She excused herself by saying that in
kissing the bouquet she had only fol
lowed the universal custom on such
occasions; but the authorities would
not accept this excuse; and told her
that another time she should not kiss
the bouquet, but tread it underfoot.
"The following eveninng another
bouquet was thrown, and the dancer.
in compliance with her instructions.
trod it under foot, again admist frantic
applause. The ribbon around the
bouquet was. however, this time not
red. green and white, but black and
yellow the colors of Austria."
Domestic Ufe In War Time.
Omaha Bee.
Eighteen' months of oarticlDation In
stupendous war has had a 'sobering
effect on the belligerents, which is
now being reflected in the domestic
lite of the peoples involved, if stories
that come across the water are to be
Deiievea. Carelessness and indiffer
ence have given way to soberer and
more seemly conduct, and a consequent
movement in personal habits and be
havior " has followed. From England
comes the testimonny of a school
ceacner that never were the children
under her charge so well looked after
as today; they come to school cleanlv
and tidy in appearance and demean
themselves with a decorum unknown
ueiore. j. nis teacner noias that since
the wlvts and mothers of Rmrianii
have actually become responsible for
cne management of the homes, they are
more earnest in the pursuit of those
duties that fall to the lot of the house-
wire. From Uermany similar reports
are heard, and it may be taken that
this is in some measure true of the
domestic life in all countries. The
presence or great national danger has
turned the popular mind to the more
serious contemplation of mundane
things, and better ways of living
naturally follow. It is not especially
an ocasion for pride that such a dread
ful shaKing up was needed to stir man
to more worthy efforts, but it will be
accepted as proof that his sodden con
dition was not hopeless.

BIG BEQUEST IS FOUGHT
Grand Xieces of James Campbell
Seek to Break Financier's AVill.
ST. LOUIS. Mo.. July 3. A second
action to contest the will of the late
James Campbell, financier, who died at
Greenwihch, Conn., in 1914. has beirun
in the Circuit Court by Mrs. Minnie
Jones Taylor. Miss Eva B. Jones and
Mrs. Lou Davis Jenkins, grandnieca
of Mr. Campbell, all residents of Wheel
ing, w. -a.
The first action, begun bv Mrs. Roan
V. Curtis, sister of Mr. Campbell, and
other relatives resulted in a Judgment
for the defense after a sensational trial
in which the contestants sought to
prove that Mrs. Lois Ann Campbell
Burkham was not the daughter of Mr.
Campbell. That contention also is
made in the action begun today.
under Mr. Campbell's will his $16.-
000,000 esfate eventually will go to
St. Louis University, a Catholic insti
tution. It is alleged Mr. Campbell was
influenced unduly in making the will.
It also is charged that the witnesses
to the will were not disinterested
parties, but were officials of tlfe Mer
cantile Trust Company, trustee under
the will, and as such would benefit
from the fees the company would re
ceive for its services as trustees of
the estate.
PRISON REFORMS ENACTED
New York and Virginia Pass Pro
gressive Legislation.
NEW YORK, June 29. The reform of
prison and charitable institutions was
an item this year of progressive leg
islation in a lew states, notably New
York. The way was paved for the
practical abolition of the antiouated
and unsanitary Sing Sing prison, and
tne ceil diock system of prison con
struction, and the bnilding of a new
$2,000,000 prison along modern lines,
remodeling Sing Sing for use merely
as a receiving and distributing center.
The New York Legislature also
adopted a plan under which long-term
prisoners by faithful performance of
their work and good behavior may
earn a commutation amounting to one
fourth of their minimum sentences.
Virginia took its first step toward
abolishing convict labor by repealing
an act which permitted contracts to be
made for the employment of prisoners.
A law was also passed increasing the
good-behavior allowance of prisoners.
Another new Virginia law provides for
the segregation of the feeble-minded.
PRICE OF J5AS TO DROP
Overproduction of Oil Is Forecast
by Witnesses. .
WASHINGTON. July 1. In the gaso
line hearing before the Federal Trade
Commission it was predicted that the
price of gasoline is destined to drop
soon because of the recent discovery of
oil fields which, it was contended, will
produce an overproduction. It was
brought out that the price at the Kan
sas refineries had already, within the
last few weeks, fallen from 21 cents
to nv.
The witness who startled the com
mission with these statements was T.
J. James, secretary of the Association
of Refiners of Kansas and Oklahoma.
A large part of today's testimony had
to do with the system of bookkeeping
by which the volume of crude and
refined oil and the gasoline supply in
sight were determined.
Mr. James explained that the drop in
the price of crude oil. owing to the un
covering of oil fields in Kansas, had not
yet had time to be reflected in the
prices of the jobber and retailer. He
said the fall in the price must eventual-
1
ly be even greater than that following
the recent drop. Supply and demand,
he said, were now about equal and the
conditions were steadily improving in
the direction of the ultimate consumer.
The witness told the commission he
looked for as great an over-production
to come now as had occurred during
the operations of the Cushing pool,
which had stocked up the refineries and
jobbers.
Mr. James exonerated the Standard
Oil Company from the charge of put
ting up the price and said the upward
tendency was wholly natural under the
conditions of the oil market. At the
time of the rise in price, he said, the
Standard held probably 61 per cent of
the producing properties, but now he
thought that the Independents held
about that proportion of the crude
output.
The action of the Interior Depart
ment in the matter of the Indian leases
In Oklahoma was charged with partial
responsibility for the upward tendency
of the market some months ago. That
influence now was sufficiently dis
counted to disappear as a cause for
an advance.
"The Government," said Mr. James,
"has always considered the Indian a
little better than the white man. Most
of the land on which oil has been
located in Oklahoma is Indian land. The
requirements of the Government leases
of this land are that the land must be
drilled.
"The result of this Is that when there
was tremendous overproduction and
even the - state of Oklahoma, through
its commission appointed for the pur
pose, ordered lease holders to stop
drilling, they kept at it just the same,
because they would otherwise lose their
leases. The state was powerless to
stop it. In trying- to safeguard the
rights of the Indian, the Interior De
partment had worked a severe hard
ship on the oil industry. This con
tinuous drilling had its natural result
in an overproduction of crude oil."
100 BILLION LIKELY COST
EXPENSE OP ANOTHER YEAR. OF
AVAR. IS CALCULATED.
Combined Conflicts Since Napoleon I
Xot as Costly mm One Now I'n
drr Way in Europe
PARIS, June 25. One hundred billion
dollars will be the cost of the war if
it lasts another year, according to Jean
Finot, who makes an interesting com
parative study of this subject in an ar
ticle in the Paris Revue.
"If this war lasts three years." he
says, "the losses will reach a total un
heard of in the past. They will amount
to one hundred or one hundred and
twenty billion dollars. The losses oc
casioned by the present conflict have
no analogy in the history of past times.
"According to the calculations of
economists and statisticians, armed
conflicts from Napoleon I to our day,
all added together, have not caused
one-half the sums absorbed by the
present war. The Napoleonic wars,
properly so called, which are consid
ered the most sanguinary in the his
tory of past times, cost only about $15.
000.000,000. They lasted 20 years.
"The Crimean war cost the countries
taking part in it about $11,000,000,000
or $12,000,000,000. The Civil War in
America did not cost more than $7,000,-
000.000 or $7,600,000,000. The war be
tween Prussia and Austria in 1868
necessitated an expense of only about
$500,000,000.
"According to the estimates of Mr.
Matheu-Bodet, Minister of Finance in
1874, the war of 1870 cost France the
total sum of $2,499,000,000. In this fig
ure are included the losses to the state,
to the departments, the communes and
individuals. The cost of caring for
German troops after the conclusion of
peace and before the complete evacua
tion, amounting to $18,600,000. is also
included.
"An English statistician puts the ll
rect expenses of all belligerents from
.Napoleon I to the war of 1914 $36,000
000.000 to $40,000,000,000.
"Considering only the allied armies
in the present war, it may be noted
that the number of combatants on our
side noVr amounts to about 14,000,000.
If we admit an average daily expense
of $4 a day for each soldier, including
ammunition, we will have a total ex
pense of $1,680,000,000 a month, or
about $20,000,000,000 a year."
For France alone the budget amounts
to $6,193,200,000 yearly, according to
Mr. Almond, who recently made a re
port to the French Senate showing the
following credits since August 1. 1914:
Last five months of 1914 ...$1,317,886,830

stant increase in expenses:

Second quar.. '16 1,153.000,000 1.5C1.000.OO0
At this rate the total expenses for
the year would be about $6,200,000,000,
of which the army absorbs 73 per cent
and the debt, also constantly increas
ing, more than 7 per cent- Civil and
other government expenses are about
19 per cent and the rest, something
under 1 per cent, goes to buy food for
the destitute refugee population.
Added to the above are the sums paid
to allied nations Belgium. Serbia and
others wnlch raise the -expenses to
$18,000,000 a day, $560,000,000 a month
or $6,700,000,000 a year.
At the same time England's expenses
have risen Trom $17,000,000 a day to
$22,000,000 and are soon expected to
reach $25,000,000 daily, or $9,125,000,000
a year. A British estimate of the ex
clusively war expenses of the allies
gives the following up to June 30. 1917:
Great Britain .l.S30.0oo.noo
France 14.173.O0O.tlO0
Russia 14,000,000.000
Italy 4.00.000.000
Belgium ii.ioo.ooo.ouo
Serbia 700.000,000
Montenegro 630.000,000
Portugal 50,000, OUU
Total $31,723,000,000
On the other side, Germany's ex
penses, which to date are about $10,
000,000.000. it is estimated will be at
least $13,000,000,000 by. the same time;
Austria's about $10,000,000,000, Tur
key's $600,000,000 and Bulgaria's $520.
000,000, or $34,120,000,000 for the Teu
tonic allies.
Then, there is Japan, who issued an
internal loan of $26,000,000 at the be
ginning of the war and whose expenses
in the capture of Kiao-chou and of the
German Pacific archipelagoes and their
occupation were about $100,000,000. San
Marino, too, has spent several hundred
thousand dollars erecting anti-aircraft
defenses against Austrian aeroplanes.
The allies will thus have spent about
$52,000,000,000 and the Teutons $34,
000,000,000 at the end of three years
of war.
These sums give a total of about
$86,000,000,000, somewhat less than the
estimate of Mr. Finot, but agreeing
with the calculation that the cost of
the present war is more than double
all the wars of the 19th century, from
those of Napoleon I, plus all the wars
of the first dozen years of the present
century. .
Italians Unshed to Coal Mines.
PARIS, June 10. The government is
arranging to bring 10,000 workmen
from Italy to increase the production
of the coal mines of the region of
Lyons. Seven million tons a year is

that may thus be assured.

HUGHES VICTOR SORE
Chicago Financiers Predict
Republican Year.
GREAT ENTHUSIASM SEEN
Because of Confidence and Cheer
Business Already Displays New
and Active Start Loan Rates
Begin to Go Higher.
CHICAGO. June 26. The impression
made on the Chicago business mind by
the nomination of Hughes Is so favor
able as to be justly declared phenom
enal. One could hardly have expected
that an "iceberg," which some people
have called Mr. Hughes, would have
warmed the hearts of so many hard
headed business men as to make them
really boyish in the demonstration of
satisfaction.
"No other nomination ever pleased
me so much," said a widely-known
banker today, who a few weeks ago
was talking in favor of Roosevelt. A
half dozen other bankers expressed
memseives m the same vein, and
throughout the business community
there is a feeling of exhilaration which
is astonishing to anybody who had
looked forward to the possibility of
tneir cnolce as something calling for
satisfaction, but not for enthusiasm.
Business Gets New Start.
Business really gets a new start, not
because of more capital or more de
mand for product, but because of con
fidence and cheer. The new life is
seen not merely in speculative lines or
even among Investors. It extends to
men engaged in manufacturing and
merchandising. Customers at the banks
who have heretofore languidly accepted
loans at the lowest rates in our history
are now bidding one-half of 1 per cent
nigner.
Many people, not all Republicans by
any means, consider this nomination a
positive assurance of election of the
Republican' candidates. This is taking
a long shot at the probabilities, with
more than four months before the bal
lota are cast, but it shows the prevail
ing spirit and is a remarkable indorse
ment of the convention's choice. Nat
urally, the speculators are studying
the subject and many of them are talk
ing much higher prices for stocks.
They say that the nomination gives
to the country assurance of a wise and
firm management of National affairs
or four years from the fifth of next
March anyhow.
One is reminded of the reception of
tne election of McKlnley as President,
which infused extraordinary life Into
the investment and speculative markets.
But. leaving out the wide difference be
tween a nomination and an election, it
must be noted that the new hopes
relate to the whole aggregate of Ameri
can affairs, whereas the election of Mc-
Kinley bore on one specific subject,
that is, the avowal of the gold standard.
There is no such specific relation of
this nomination to business as that.
Accordingly, we cannot expect any
thing like the furore with which the
price of stocks advanced because of
McKinley's election. This time It- is
simply a matter of insuring a good gen
eral administration of our affairs (f
Hughes is elected.
Joy Is Widespread.
The joy over this nomination among
those who have favored Roosevelt is a
curiosity. It is an admission that the
wisdom of the convention was greater
than the wisdom of Mr. Gary and the
followers he las had among financial
people. Amo:ix that class the prefer
ence for Roosevelt was due largely
to a survival of the alarm which over
spread this country on the outbreak
of the European wrtr. and the anxiety
over foreign relations. It was natural
to want so masterful a mur. as Roose
velt at the head ot affairs if a serious
crisis was coming. This fe.jl'.ng has
died down to some extent, mt our
foreign relations have become slmpll
fied. Many, therefore, com-luded that
Roosevelt was not needed, that a loss
aggressive pers:m better fitted the oc
casion. The admirable letter of ac
ceptance has charmed many. That let
ter and other happenings have con
vinced critics that Hughes is not uch
an iceberg after all.
It looks as though Hughes would
win many votes- among the independ
ents, and even some from the ranks of
the Democrats. The financial interests
will support him almost, in a body.
This action will be due. in part, to
Hughes' known capacities in the han
dling of large economic questions, but
also to much antagonism to the pres
ent Administration among the bankers.
The Comptroller of the Currency Is ex
tremely unpopular with the National
banks, and is even looked upon with
considerable disfavor by the ?tate in
stitutions. Moreover, the contact of
the Federal reserve system with the
banks has caused a great deal of irri
tation, and the objectionable things
are laid to the ruling party, though
the measure got its start among the
Republicans.
As one banker put it this morning,
"they are taking our money fnin us
and competing for our customers," re
ferrlng to the Federal reserve banks.
To a considerable extent this new de
vice is responsible for the low rates
for money, which are the chief griev
ance of the banker in these djfcys. Then
a banker, as well as the manufacturer,
is. In most instances, a protectionist,
and he looks with apprehension to the
time when the protection afforded to
this country by the European war will
be withdrawn.
The financial interests anticipata a
campaign little disturbing to business,
that will places this admirable man in
the White House.

Workshop of Kingdom Keep Busy
Supply Ins: Material to KulflU
Modern Requirements.
THE HAGUE. Netherlands. June 30.
(Correspondence of the Associated
Press). Interesting Information as to
what has been accomplished in pre
paring the) Dutch army for modern
warfare In the 21. months during which
it has now been on a war footing- wns
contained in a statement presented to
Parliment by the Minister of War. Ma
jor-General N. Bosboom. when he
asked for a fresh appropriation of
$40,000,000 to cover mobilization ex
penses. Even a partial demobilization is still
out of the question, according; to the
War Minister.
Answering the question whether the
Dutch Army was adequately prepared
for war and whether the material and
equipment fulfill modern require
ments, he said, that although it was
inadvisable to make public Information
which might benefit a possible enemy,
there was no doubt the Dutch soldiers
could face the prospect of war witii
confidence.
In August, 1914., the material' nd
equipment left much to be desired. The
workshops of the kingdom were not
ready for mass production. These
shops have been enlarged and 100 fac
tories have been equipped for the pro
duction of war material. There Is a
great supply of hand grenades, in the
use of which the troops have "een
trained. Gas masks, steel helmets,
modern engineering material, trench
shields, barbed wire, and protective
material have been made in large
quantities.
Searchlights for coast defense, land
positions, and field troops have been
increased. Automobile stations for
wireless telegraphy have been formed.
The Army has at its disposal a great
number of motor lorries for tha trans
port of troops and wounded. The num
ber of aeroplanes has been largely in
creased. These are provided with
bombs, machine guns, and quickflrers,
and, as regards speed and raising
power, they have been brought up to
the standard prevailing abroad. Pri
vate Industry has co-operated in the
building of new aeroplanes, although
Holland remains dependent on. foreign
countries for motors.
As regards the medical service, the
reserve hospital accommodation has
been increased by arrangements with
150 civilian nursing institutions. More
over, an institute of military dentists
has been established. Vaccination
against smallpox., typhus and menin
gitis is being carried out.
An unfavorable comment on the re
lations between commanders and men
in the Dutch Army is, the fact, now
made known, that many thousands of
soldiers persisted in going on furlough
at Easter, when leave was refused
them owing to the special circum
stances that made the position -dangerous
for Holland. Severe punish
ment has been meted out to the men
concerned. Incidentally the Minister
mentioned that there were 52 suicides
In the army at the beginning of mo
bilization. No special announcement is made re
garding the number of trained men
which the country now possesses, but
former Minister of War, H. Calyn,
savs the total has increased to some
370,000 and that if all the further
found here will be gladly furnished br

Mrs. Vuitdorbilt Plans lieautirtil
Wedding I'resent lor Couple.
NEW YORK. June 2S. Simplicity' and
secrecy marked the wedding of Miss
Barbara C. Rutherfurd. daughter by
a former marriage of Mrs William K.
Vanderbilt, to Cyril Hatch, son of th
late Mr. and Mrs. Charles II. Hatch, of
Philadelphia. The ceremony was per
formed in the presence of half a dozen
relatives, at 11 o'clock, in the home of
Mr. and Mrs. Vanderbilt. 660 fifth
Avenue, by the Kev. William Garth, of
Islip. Long Island. Almost immedi
ately after the ceremony Mr. and Mrs.
Hatch left the house by the rear en
trance and came out on Fifty-second
street, where they left for the Grand
Central Terminal. They had gone a
couple of blocks when they returned
to the house for something that had
been forgotten. Shortly after they
again departed Mr. Vanderbilt came
out of the house and walked down the
avenue to his office in Grand, Central.
The bride was given away by her
stepfather. Mr. Vanderbilt.
The engagement of the couple was
made known in April, but never for
mally -announced by the family.
The bride is one of the two attrac
tive daughters of Mrs. Vanderbilt. Her
sister. Miss Margaret S. Rutherfurd
was married to Ogden I.. Mills, son of
Mr. and Mrs. Ogden Mills and now a
member of the State Senate. Their
father was the late Lewis M. Ruther
furd. a member of the well-known
family of that name here. He died
when the daughters were young.
Through their father they are de
scendants of Lewis Morris and John
Rutherfurd.
Mrs. Hatch is a granddaughter of
the late Oliver Harriman. and a niece
of Mrs. Stephen H. Olin, Mrs. Frederick
C. Havemeyer and Oliver and Herbert
M. Harriman. he is 21 years old.
Mr. Hatch was left an orphan when
a email boy and, with his brother,
Charles H. Hatch, was brought up in
the family of the late John Austin
Stevens, of Newport. He was gradu
ated from Harvard in 1900, and is a
member of the Knickerbocker. Racquet
and Tennis. Piping Rock and Meadow
Brook clubs.
Mr. and Mrs. Hatch will spend their
honeymoon in Canada, and the Far
West.
It has been reported that Mrs. Van
derbilt will present a $400,000 home to
her daughter as a wedding gift. The
property at 153 and 155 East Sixty
third street recently was transferred
to Mrs. Vanderbilt. and it is understood
that she will erect on it a house cost
ing $300,000 for her daughter.
$3,000,000 Lien Canceled.
PATERSON, N. J.. June 3. A cancel
lation of a $3,000,000 mortgage was re
corded In the County Register's office.
This is probably the largest mortgage
that was ever placed on record by
Registrar Morris. It was against
mining property owned by Nelson Z.
Graves, of Philadelphia, in West Mil
ford township. The mortgage was held
y Harry 5. Michener, David Baird and
William Kindlay Brown, receivers of
the defunct N. Z. Graves Company. Mr.
Graves, when his 'company became in
volved In financial difficulties, evident
ly gave his personal property as secur
ity for $3,000,000 of liabilities. This
amount was covered by a mortgage on
the West Milford -mining property. The
mortgage was recorded in the Passaic
County's Registrar's office on May 26.
1913. -
