4 I][]Z[NS WERB['M RENT COURT APPAREL INLONDON THRON Women and Children Carned Away From Line of Pro- cession in Ambulances. By the Associated Press. 2 LONDON, February 28.—Special trains from suburbs and provinces, as ‘well as charabancs, trams and busses today brought to the already crowded city thousands of persons anxious to catch a glimpse of Princess Mary on her wedding morning. These took their places along the sidewalks and in other vantage points | where they were welcomed by the cold but cheery ones who had kept an all-night vigil in the most shelt- ered spots along the route from Buck- ingham Palace to Westmiinster Abbey. Long before the time for the royal processions there was hardly stan ing room in Whitehali and on th Mall. There was plenty to occupy the time in watching the movements of the troops. listening to the street musicians and in buyiing flowers and souvenirs from the numerous ped- dlers. Just before the bride arrived at the abbey the crowds became so dense in Parliament street that the police had | great difficulty in maintaining their cordon. Dozens of women and chil- dren fainted and had to be carried to safety, afterward being removed from' the scene in ambulances. MILK PRODUCERS DENY PRICE FIXING Testimony Given in Investiga- | tion Before House Com- mittee. The milk producers supplying prac- | tically all of the milk consumed in | ‘Washington, started their testimony today before the sub-committee of the House district Committee which has been conducting for many months an investigation of conditions sur- rounding the production, marketing and distribution of milk in the na- tional capital. ! J. A. Barbour. a milk producer and attorney representing the Mary land-Virginla milk producers as- sociation, told the committee that | the producers have absolutely nothing to conceal and that they will give full and frank information on any thing comcerning which the commi t eé is interested. Mr. Barbour said that there are ap- proximately 1400 individual farmers who ship milk into Washington. He gave the history of the organization, | saying that there has never been any organization for fixing prices, no pres- sure brought to bear, to force a fixed price. by boycott or punishing those who didn’t charge it. T. E. McLaughlin, who, until a week | ago, was secretary and manager in charge of the association's plant, ex- plained that he was formerly head of the gounty agricultural agents in Mary- land, being a government and state employe, and as such has helped to pro- mote the organization of the Maryland- Virginia Milk Producers’ Association. He told the committee that every di- rector in the Maryland-Virginia Pro- ducers’ Association is a farmer pro- ducing milk. CAPT. WALE DEAD. | Cherrydale Resident Was Véteran of World War. Capt.

The personal columns of London newspapers arriving ‘here were filled with advertisements offering for rent everything from rhinestone slipper buckles to swords and cocked hats. One Wroker advertised: “I know that there are ladles and gen- tlemen of noble birth who because of financial reverses have long been with- out court apparel, and they can rent from me in confildence. Early solicita- tion I8 requested o as to give time for any necessary alteration: Another advertised a ‘“velvet court suit, hat, sword and stockings, com- plete in tin case; fit man six feet of slight build, perfect condition. My wife will advise any lady in doubt as how to dress for wedding.” Alongside the pawnbrokers' advertise- ments appear those of the réesorts where wedding celebrations will be held. One of these follows: “Royal wedding a_dinner, ball and supper and distribution of mammoth wedding cake at Restaurant Belgravia, Victoria, overlooking Buckingham Pal- ace, 8:30 to 2 a.m. American jazz band and the smartest dance of the whole gamut.

The bands' rendition of “God Save the King” was unheard in the wild tumult. The sound of the hoofs of the team of bays drawing the his- toric Irish state coach and those of the sovereign's mounted cscort also were drowned in the cries and ap- plause.
