TWAIN ARE NOW ONE
Miss Roosevelt and Nicholas
Longworth Plight Troth.
A BRILLIANT CEREMONY
Wedding of President's Daughter at
White House Most Imposing
Function Ever Held Within
Historic Mansion.
With a plain circlet of virgin gold
!n the historic east room of the white
house, Saturday at noon, Alice Lee
Roosevelt, eldest daughter of the
president of the United States, and
Nicholas Longworth, the representa
tive in congress front the first district
of Ohio, were united in marriage.
Tlie ceremony, one of the most im
pressive ever performed in the ex
ecutive maDsicn, was according to the
liturgy of the Protestant Episcopal
church, of which the bride is a mem
ber.
No ceremony of a similar kind was
ever witnessed by a moro distinguish
ed assemblage. There were present
as guests not only the most eminent
representatives of the American gov
ernment, but the personal commission
ers of the kings and potentates of
the powers of tho civilized world, con
stituting an assemblage not only one
of the largest, but the most distin
guished that ever was gathered at
cne timo in the white house.
A halo of a hundred years of ro
mantic white house history hung over
the bridal couple. Miss Roosevelt was
the twelfth bride, according to ac
cepted authorities, to plight her troth
within its classic walls.
The bride’s wedding gown was an
exquisite creation. It was of heavy
white brocaded satin, point lace,
chiffon, filmy tulle and silver brocade.
The material from which it was cre
ated was manufactured expressly for
Miss Roosevelt. The design, intri
cate and delicate in its details, was
destroyed as soon as the necessary
amount of the material for the dre?3
was completed. The gown had a very
long court train of elegant silver bro
cade. The bodice was made high
without a collar: was trimmed with
beautiful and old point iace, the
sleeves being finished at the elbow
with the same filmy material.
Long white gloves barely met the
sleeves. A voluminous tulle veil prac
tically completely enveloped the grace
ful figure of the charming bride. In
her hair it was caught and held in
place by clusters of orange blossoms.
Her dainty slippers, in perfect har
mony with her gown, were fastened
with silver brocade and tulle bows
caught with orange flowers instead of
ouoklas.
A? Miss Roosevelt and Mr. Long
■worth faced Bishop Satteriee a hush
fell over the assemblage. Every one
of the thousand present wished to
catch every syllable of the ceremony
which was to follow. The responses
of both the bride and the bridegroom
•were audible distinctly throughout the
great apartments.
Particularly clear were (those of
the bride, v.hose voice was as natural
and distinct as in ordinary conversa
tion. While her face was a shade
paler than usual, her self-possession
was perfect, and she went through
the ceremony without a symptom of
nervousness.
When the venerable Bishop Satter
iee asked the question prescribed in
the ritual:
“Who giveth this woman to he mar
ried to this man?” President Roose
velt ascended the platform and bowed
to the distinguished prelate. Taking
then his daughter’s hand, he placed it
In that of the bridegroom. Having
reformed (his function, the president
resumed his place at the right of Mrs.
Roosevelt. The best man, Mr. Per
kins, then produced from a pocket of
his waistcoat the geld circlet with
which the couple was wedded and
handed it to Mr. Longworth. When
he had placed it on fhe fourth finger
of his bride’s left band, the bishe*
pronounced that they were “man and
wife.”
At the conclusion of the serviee,
which occupied less than ten minutes,
Mr. and Mrs. Longworth held an in
formal reception of the guests attend
ant upon the eeremony. Mr. Roose
velt was the first to greet and to of
fer his best wishes to the bride and
groom.

MAY EXHUME CORPSE.
Alex Legler, Georgia Boy, Arraigned
In Jersey City Court on Charge
of Fratricide.
A New York special says: Accused
of having murdered his brother, Carl,
for the purpose of obtaining life in
surance mcney amounting to $3,000,
Alexander Legler, Jr., was arraigned
in court in Jerspy City Thursday. The
examination of the prisoner was post
poned, however, until Saturday,
at the request of Chief of Police Mur
phy, who desired time to get together
witnesses. The case is one of the
most extraordinary in the police an
nals of Jersey City. In explaining
the case to the court, Chief Murphy
said that the prisoner was suspected
of having poured benzine over bis
brother, Carl, and of having set him
jflre while he slept, and added that
it was believed that when Legler saw
that his brother would not succumb
to his injuries, he caused the victim’s
death by administering some powder,
presumably of a poisonous nature. Tho
police announce that they will endeav
or to have the body exhumed by tlie
authorities at Baxley, Ga., whither it
was taken by Legler soon after hl3
brother’s death.
Alex Legler, who resides in Baxley,
and who Is the father of the young
man who is under arrest, states that
he does not believe his son is guilty.
He says both cf his sons had Insur
ance policies in the same company,
and he says his dead son told him
previous to his death that his brother
helped him to put out the fire, and
that Alex., the young man arrested,
rendered him all the assistance pos
sible.
Mr. Legler says Mrs. Rutherford is
not on good terms with his son.
Pie says his dead son’s policy was
payable to his mother, and Alex had
no Interest.
HELL IS AN IMPROVEMENT
Upon United States So Far as Negro
is Concerned, Says Bishop Turner.
Bishop H. M. Turner, addressing the
500 delegates attending the conven
tion of negtoes in Macon, Ga., Thurs
day to discuss racial problems, said:
”1 used to love what I thought
was the grand old flag and sing with
ecstacy about the stars and stripes,
but to the negro in this country the
American flag is a dirty and contempt
ible rag. Not a star in it can the
colored man claim, for It is no longer
the symbol of our manhood rights
and liberty.
“I have heard of both white and
black men perpetrating rape upon in
nocent and angelic women, but no
negro in this country has been tried
by the courts and found guilty of the
heinous crime of rape in fifteen years.
‘*l know that ibloody-handed and
drunken mobs have said so, but what
Christian people would accept what
they say? Yet there are millions of
men who pretend to he moral and
claim to be sensible in this country
who go to these drunken mobs to get
Information relative to the conduct
of colored men.
“Without multiplying words, I
wish to say that hell is an improve
ment upon the United States when
the negro is involved. If a little igno
rant and stupid white man, who was
never heard of and never would he
heard of until ten thousand years
after the resurrection trump, wishes
a little notoriety, he begins to belie
and slander the negro and bounds
into popularity. And I challenge any
one or all of them to meet me in pub
lic discussion and I will show that
the negro Is a far better man than
they are.”

Gamblers in “Futures” Can’t Recover.
By a decision of the Georgia su
preme court handed down a few days
ago tho so called “bucket shops” are
not compelled to make good or return
money to those customers who try to
make money on '•futures' 1 but lose, it
was the ruling of the court that any
business which paid a license for the
carrying on of a certain business was
so far legalized that money lost could
not be recovered through suits
brought ion the ground that such
business was gambling and against
the statutes of the state. As tho so
called bucket shops paid a license of
SI,OOO for carrying on just this sort
of business, the customers who tried
to make money but lost could not re
cover on the ground of gambling.
The case was that of Shropshire
against Miller & Cos., brokers in At
lanta, in which Shropshire alleged
that he lost S4OO on “futures” and
so sued for its return, The case was
carried from a justice court to the
supreme court.

Sell Land to Immigrants.
A mass meeting was held in Euton
ton to consider the question of im
migration and how to meet the pres
ent unsatisfactory labor conditions. It
was organized by electing Senator G.
W'. Adams chairman and Editor Roy
D. Stubbs secretary. The facts as
collected by Hon. John T. Dennis
the past few weeks were laid before
■he meeting, and showed that good,
thrifty farm laborers, either German,
English, Poles or Slavs, could be had
for S2O per month and board. The
cost of transportation from New York
would be sl2 per head.
Quite a full and interesting discus
sion of the question, covering all its
phases, was had, and, as a result, a
committee of five interested persons
were appointed to make thorough In
vestigations as to what can be done:
First, for the immediate relief of the
present situation; second, for the fu
ture permanent solution of the per
ploxing conditions; third, towards get
ting land c-whers in the county,
through a local syndicate, to place
on the market for sale at least 10
per cent of their lands at a reasonable
pi ice as an inducement to the right
kind of immigrants to come and in
vest. It is the purpose of the com
mittee to get at least 20,000 acres to
begin with.
GIFTS COSTLY AND VARIED.
Tributes of Affection for Miss Roose
velt from All Parts of World.
Few brides not of so-called royal
birth over were the recipients of so
many and so valuable gifts as were
received by IMlss Roosevelt. For
weeks, previous to the wedding, the ic
tributes of love and affection poured
into the white house.
The bride and the members of her
family were almost overwhelmed by
the number and character of the pres
ents. It was not that they were so
valuable intrinsically, although, in the
aggregate, they represent a great
sum; but it was the spirit which ani
mated the givers which appealed
strongly to Miss Roosevelt. Many of
the presents were accompanied by
oral and written expressions of the
esteem in which the bride is held by
.-ill classes, in her country, and
throughout the world.
Weeks ago, on behalf of their daugh
tor, the president and Mrs. Roosevelt
lof it ho known that, certain proffered
presents could not be accepted. It
was their desire that the wedding, so
far aH the presents were concerned,
at least, should ho stripped of an
official character. An Intimation was
conveyed through diplomatic chan
nels that it was the desire of the pres
ident lhat no gifts should bo made to
Miss Roosevelt on behalf of foreign
governments; that presents of such
naluie properly could be received only
from the executives of the govern
ments through tho ambassadors or
ministers accredited to the American
government.
The only present, therefore, which
may be said to come directly from
a nation is that from the Cuban re
public. It was provided for prior to
the president’s delicate intimation,
and under the circumstances could
not be declined.
Cuba’s gift was a splendid necklace
cf selected pearls, the design of the
piece being made In Paris on tho or
der cf the island government. It is
one of the most valuable gifts re
ceived by the brldo.

IS STATEMENT OF JORDAN
Sensational Assertion Made at Hear
ing Before House Committee.
Can Name Four Men Who
Have Divulged Figures
“Gentlemen, cotton is king today.
Cotton statistics are now on trial."
Wlith these words Chairman Wads
worth of the house committee on ag
riculture, opened the general hearing
on crop statistics before his commit
tee at Washington Friday.
Assistant Secretary Ifayes of the
department of agriculture; President
IJarvie Jordan of the Southern Cotton
Association, Atlanta, Ga.; J. H. Tay
lor, president of the National Ginners'
Association, Dallas, Tex., and manj.
southern members of congress, repra
senting planters, were at the hear
ing.
Assistant Secretary Hayes was the
first speaker. He gave In detail the
plan of the department of agriculture
for gathering statistics and changes
recently made In the system of the
bureau of statistics. He said tho de
partment proposed to retain tho erop
reporting board; to have 2,800 oounty
reporting agents; forty-one idistrlot
ngents and several supervising Inspec
tors who shall travel and instruct dis
trict agents.
Different codes were to bo furnished
each district agent monthly, and the
agents’ reports are to be given to
computers In sections to avoid the pos
sibility of leakage. With the perfect
ed reports, Mr. Hayes said tlie mar
kets would be less affected. Frequent
and accurate reports would work
against the speculator, he said, and
the weather bureau reports will fur
nish a guard as to conditions for the
time between reports.
Mr. Hayes said the department of
agriculture would be benefited greatly
by having more agricultural statistics
at Its command. He said an acreage
consus should be taken every five
years and would be of great assistance
to tlie crop estimating board. When
’ asked about the accuracy of the cot
ton estimates for last year Mr. Hayes
said that Judged by statistics In gin
ning the cotton report was within 2
per cent of the actual production.
President IJarvie Jordan created
something of a sensation, when he
said;
"I have received letters stating that
certain coriespondents who report to
the census bureau are also correspon
dents of Theodore Price, the cotton
bear of Wall street,” said Ilarvio Jor
dan, president of the Southern Cotton
Association, to the committee.
Jordan’s remark was something like
a bombshell. Representative Burleson
of Texas was on his feet in a mo
ment. "I can promise,” said he, “that
if their ncmes are furnished Mr.
North, and this is found to be true,
they will be Immediately discharged."
Mr. Burleson wont on to say that
the bill providing a heavy penalty
for any government official or em
ployee who gives out official informa
tion will soon be passed, and that it
would reach any representative of the
government who givos out informa
t.ion to Mr. Price or anybody else.
Mr. Jordan said later that ho had
referred to four correspondents of the
census bureau, whom he kne > sus
tained these relations to Mr. Price,
and he understood Mr. Price had in
his possession a list of all tho corre
spondents of the census bureau.

I shall fight, the Nicaraguan govern
ment for its recovery.”
