of the British empire as did Princess
Mary's. wedding, the romance which
turned a simple Scottish girl into a
royal prince's bride and elevated her
from a position of relative obscurity
to the position ot the fourth lady of
the land, captured the hearts of the
English people.
The fact that Lady Elizaboth's mar
riage to the Duke of York makes her
eligible to wear the crown of the em
pire in the ovont anything untoward

an additional note ot Interesting sig
nificance to the event.
Bejcweled Fashion Attends
Today's ceremony within the hal
lowed walls of the historic abbey,
which has witnessed the supreme joys
and sorrows of, the nation for ages
past was both a great religious and
Bocial event, but was marked by a
glittering exhibition of fashion and
sumptuous jewels.
Eight hundred of England's greatest
luminaries 'in Btate, court diplomacy
and society, as welt as Hn Impressivo
assemblage of foreign princes, dukes,
duchesses and otheis ot rank and title

palace to the abbey.

GUNS.U.S.SHIPS
WASHINGTON, April 26. The ap
proprlation made by congress at the
last Bession for elevating the guns of
the American fleet will not be uaed
for that purpose Secretary Denby an
nounced today, because of the unln
tended erroneous statements made by
navy representatives in recommend
ing the appropriation.
The following statement was is
sued by the navy department:
"During the discussion at the lust
congress of the proposal to appro
priate $6,r00,000- for'elevatlng the
guns of 13 battleships of the United
States fleet certain statements were
made in regard to the disparity be
tween the ranges of guns of the ships
of the British fleet ana tnose or me
fleot of the United States. These
statements were made In absolute
good faith but were shown by later
reports from the government of Great
Britain to have been exaggerated.
While the disparity does exist, It Is
not so great as was then supposed.
"Upon the representations of the
navy department, congress appro
priated the sum asked for. In view
(of tho discrepancy between the state
ment of tno acpartmeni ana me ac
tual conditions, the department has
determined not to employ the money
for the purpose of increasing the ele

The steamer. Brush Is ashore five
miles south of the entrance to Coos

land on tho north side of a reef.
The latest message received from
tho vessel stating it was necessary to

CHICAGO, April 26. President
Harding's proposal ! tor the United
States to become a member of the
world court of Justice was endorsed
today by John H. Clarke, former
Justice ot the United States supreme
court, here today.' He1 declared the
proposal should be adopted by the
senate by viva voce vote without do
bate. Former Justice Clarke, who ap
peared as a representative of the
League of Nations Non-Partisan as
sociation said that only a small group
of senators were opposed to the world
court, some saying it had too much
power, others 'that it had too little
power and at least one -because he
held It to bo "the offspring of the
League of Nations."
No one has yet formulated how
participation in the court would car
ry the nation Into the League of Na
tions, he asserted. As an experienc
ed lawyer, he said ho was sure pro
posed reservations would prevent any
relation's with the loague.
"I wish our government could see
its way to Join wholeheartedly and
without reservation In the support of
(Ills great court," he said, "but since
the administration refuses to act
without reservations, I hope the pro
position will be accepted by the sen
ate. Tho Idea that Groat Britain would
havo six voles in the election of tho
Judges of the court to ono vote for
the United States "rests wholly upon
the base, unworthy assumption, that
the representatives of these great
countries would corruptly elect cor
rupt Judgos to rendor corrupt decis
ions, for this is what tho insinuation
really means," ho said.
Even if that were true, he assorted,
it would result cither In tho imme
diate destruction of tho court or the
plot would fnil. But, he continued,
the Judges of the court are nomin
ated by the representatives of tho
nations In The Hague arbitration tri
bunal, of which tho United States has
long been a member, and then are
elocted by the League of Nations.
The speaker asserted as a proof
ot the non-partisan character of tho
League of Nations Non-Partisan as
sociation, for which ho spoke, that
twenty of the thirty living distln
guished republicans who were among
the 31 who appealed to their fellow
voters in 1920 for the election of
President Harding "as the surest way
for carrying our country Into some
league or association of nations to
assure tho peace ot the world," aro
members of tho association. He
added that "it Is an open secret that
only official position prevents at
least three more from Joining us,"
and that " It Is generally Inferred
that the three thus referred to are
Secretaries Hughes and Hoover and
Chief Justice Taft." .
In prefacing his address, Justice
Clarke reiterated his public state
ment of last September that he did
not resign from the supreme court
for the purpoBe of becoming a candl
date for public office and that any
suggestion that he could be nomln
taed for the presidency was futile and
visionary.
He asserted that he would not un
der any circumstances aspire to the
nomination for president and sought
no credit except for disinterested sin
cerity in behalf ot the league.

26. (By the Associated Press.)
Clara Phillips, tho escaped California
hammor murderess, with a woman
companion arrested he-re on Satur
day are still held In the local Jail
awaiting full Identification and ex
tradition papers, while the man who
accompanied her under the name of
Carson, is separately held In the
penltontlary. When Been at the Jail
the woman known as Clara Phillips
refused to admit her Identity, but
discussed the crime attributed to her
in such a way as to leave no doubt as
to her identity among those who saw
her.
She Bhows no evidence of being
downhearted and clings to the hope
of freedom, not so much on the mer
its of the case but mainly because ot
the technical difficulties attending
extradition and return to another
country.
She is well guarded by the local po
lice. It is evident however, that sym
pathy has been aroused for her be
cause of the feeling that she was be
trayed by those who promised to as
sist her, -but who made her. a-vjetjm.,
Becauso of thlB she declares she will
tell things that will startle tho Cali
fornia public, but only when leaving
Honduras and after her Identity has
beon legally proven.
When the party arrived here last
week, tho woman accompanying nor
claimed to be a siBterand the man
called himself Carson. They came
through Moxlco, leaving a friend
named Jackson in Tampico. They'
then proceeded to Guatemala, where
Mrs. Phillips Is Bald to havo had a
misunderstanding with a Mexican
friend who had assisted hor to cross
the bordor into Guatemala. To avoid
trouble with the Guatemalan author
ities, she left tho Mexican friend and
came to Honduras.
Here In Tegucigalpa, the fugitive
at first thought of starting a grocory
buslnoss. Those who met her while
she was looking for a house Bay that
her furtive ways aroused suspicion.
Then came a cablegram from Los An
goles saying Clara Phillips waa sup
posed to have gone to Honduras. This
gave the key and tho arrest followed
quickly.
