STILLMAN WEDDING | GUESTS COME FAR Many Travel All Night to See Woods Girl Become Bride of New Yorker. By the Associated Press. GRAND ANSE, Quebec, July 26.— Villagers and woodland folks trekked here today for the entry of Lena Wil- son, daughter of the woods, into the wealthy and socially prominent Still- man family of New York as the bride of “Bud” Stillman. Boats, buggies, motol ars and in fact almost every conceivable mode of | conveyance brought the wedding | guests, who came from all points in the three-river district. Many who were forced to travel par- ticularly rough trails started last| night, heavy rains having left the, roads deep in mud. A big hoat from Grandes Piles started early this morn- | ing up the Maurice River to La| Tuque, picking up 200 guests along the banks. Il Garbed iIn their Sunday best, the: came en masse to celebrated the forg ing of a tie between one of thelr own | and_the big house on the riv With them was the Royal Highland. | ers’ Regimental Band in kilts, to play for dances in the huge barn that I been converted into a reception hall. Dancing to Be Feature. But of even more inter to the river folks was their native musicians with their violins and accordions. The Villagers looked forward to a program ©f old square dances, with the leader | calling out the turn in a mixture of | French and English. In marked cont to the pictur- esque attire of the river folks were the well groomed men and women of | metropolitan soclety, who attracted much interest with their train of spe- cial cars. Rev. Ephraim Lamy, cure of Grandes Plles, assisted by three other Roman Catholic priests from Three Rivers, was selected to perform the ‘outdoor ceremony. Refreshments for Four Days. Supplies sufficient to provide re- Ereshment for four days were trucked the 300-0dd miles from Latuque. Many gallons of red and white wine, beer and other beverages were included for the big party. As the hour for the wedding ap- proached all rumors of family strife had vanished. Lena went down to Latuque yesterday to bid farewell to the home where her mother and six misters have been living since last Fall. She planned to return with them for the ceremony. “Bud” plans to take his bride to Paris, and perhaps to Scotland, the mative land of her father, on their honeymoon trip. Later they expect to go to New York, where the bride- groom plans to begin his preparation for a medical career. BRIDE TO GET SHARE. Young Stillman Said to Have Given Her Half of Inheritance. NEW YORK, July 26 (#).—The New York American in a dispatch from Grand Anse, Quebec, today says “Bud” Stillman has bestowed one-half his inheritance upon Lena Wilson. The inheritance came to young Stillman from his paternal grand- father in the form of a trust fund and is estimated at $2,500,000. This fortune is independent of the property of his father, which is estimated at $50,000,000. TOWN HAS FESTIVE AIR. Highlander’'s Band Parades While Awaiting Time of Ceremony. LATUQUE, Quebec, July 26 (A).— Latuque was early astir today, the wedding day of Lena Wilson, the 18- year-old daughter of humble parents, who by her engagement to “Bud” Stillman has become the town’s most famous resident. Thirty miles away everything was in readiness for the ceremony this aft. ernoon at the Grand Anse home of James A. Stillman, New York banker, and Mrs. Anne U. Stillman, parents of the bridegroom. ‘While waiting for the trucks which ‘will carry them to Grand Anse to play in competition with native violin and accordion players, kilt-clad members of the Royal Highlanders Band pa- raded the streets. A spirit of festivity and excitement was everywhere ap- parent. Wedding Cake Success. A four-foot wedding cake, spoken of with awe by neighborhood cooks, ‘was reported a success, the work of the skillful hands of the chef from the Stillman yacht. Rumors of discord among the fami- MYes of the bride and bridegroom had passed with the arrival of the wed- ding day, and it was said that the original program mapped out months @go would be carried out, ‘with only one alteration, the ceremony to be per- formed at the Stillman lodge by priests of the Roman Catholic Church instead of in the little Angelican Church of La Tuque by the Protestant minister, as at first proposed. Bright blue skies made the weather prospect pleasing, and local observers ‘;ill_tli rain was only a remote possi- ity. EX-PRESIDENT’S SON SUED Divorce Plea Filed by Wife of Ches- ter Alan Arthur.

By Cable to The Star and the North Amerl- can Newspaper Allian: CALSHOT NAVAL BASL Lngl.\nd, July 26.—It is now expected that Capt. Frank T. Courtney will be able to start his westward flight across the Atlantic tomorrow morning. The radlo experts who have been taking down and reinstalling the wire- less apparatus in the captain’s flying boat have discovered that the vibra- tions have not been completely elimi- nated. . This, together with the un- favorable weather reports received here, has caused a further delay. “So long as this weather refuses to break I am able to care for a lot of little details,” said Capt. Courtney to- day. “I'm going to get off at the earliest possible moment.” Courtney took his flying boat into the alr yesterday afternoon and flew about for about 30 minutes. While in the air the radio apparatus was again tested, and it was found that the noises still persisted. Late reports from Newfoundland were that the fog there is now abat- ing, and it is believed that by tomor- row clear weather will prevail. ight, 1927, in all countries’ but S by (e North.

The District Commissioners were asked by the corporation counsel’s of- fice today whether it should proceed with the street condemnation cases now in court or hold them up until the Court of Appeals rules on an ap- peal from the recent decision of the District Supreme Court, in which it was held that the highway plan of the District is defective .ecause it fails to show the boundaries apd dimen- slons of each projected street. A number of important proposed street opening and widening proiects involving' property valued at moré than $1,000,000 are being held up by the court’s decigion. Chief among them are the conversion of Conduit road into a monumental boulevard from Foxhall road to the District line and the opening of the territory im- mediately south of the Walter Reed Hospital reservation between Georgia avenue and Fourteenth street. Rather than delay the condemnation work by further litigation in the courts, Melvin C. Hazen, District sur- vor, has suggested that Congress be asked to amend at its forthcoming session the act authorizing the crea- tion of the District’s highway plan. The Commissioners planned to con- sider this suggestion in connection with the questions raised by the cor- poration counsel’s Brin Evans, who up to 19 collier at Berthlwyd Colliery, ha - uated M.

NAVAL PARLEY END SEEN IN REPORTED BRITISH PROPOSAL (Continued from Tirst Page) ence circles that there may be some division of opinion within the British cabinet and that this is the chief rea- son for the delay in the return of the British plenipotentiaries. An unconfirmed report has been re- ceived in Geneva that some of the British dominions, becoming anxious over a possible rupture of the confer- ence, have urged Great Britain not to be apprehensive over details of the American building program on _the contention that everybody realizes perfectly well that war between the United States and Great Britain can be considered as perpetually outlawed. Geneva Kept in Dark. Conjecture was rife tod: as to what took place at yesterda meet- ing of the British cabinet in London, no word having reached any of the three delegations’ to the naval re- duction conference. It is generally supposed here that when W. C, Bridgeman, first lord of the British admiralty, and Viscount Cecil return here from London, whither they went to report to the cabinet on the status of the naval parleys, there will be informal inter- changes among the chief delegates, Next day may see a meeting of the conference’s executive committee to draw an agenda for a plenary session, which if all goes well—or ‘might take place Friday or Saturday. The Americans are still heping that a decision one way or the other will be reached before August 7 to crable them to sail for home on the TLevia- than, but say that if the British proffer anything susceptible of an a ceptable agreement, they are pre- pared to “fight it out along this line if it takes all Summer” in order not to return empty-handed. Protest by Howard Reported. Two London newspapers sald tcday that Ambassador Howard had been in- structed to protest in Washington against antl-British propaganda in American newspapers. Nothing was obtainable in official circles in J.ondon nor from Ambassador Howard, who is on his vacntlun at Manchester, Mass. AIR SAFETY MOVEMENT FOLLOWS FATAL CRASH By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, July 26.—Measures de. signed to bring about safer flying con- ditions in Cook County under regula- tion of the aviation committee of the county board are sought by Anton J. Cermak, president of the board, fol- lowing an accident Sunday night in which three persons were killed when a plane crashed. Mr. Cermak sent a telegram to Wil- liam P. McCracken, Assistant Secre- tary of Commerce in charge of avia- tion, requesting that the Government give the county board power to super- vise commercial aviation in this area. “I believe a repetition of such an air tragedy will be averted if we can su- pervise commercial aviation,” Mr. Cer- mak said. Another safety move—this one af- fecting motorists — was taken when Alderman John Toman recommended to the city council that drivers ob- tain licenses and be required to pass physical and mental examinations be- fore operating cars.

Those unable to keep on the assigned channel will not be given a renewed G0-day license on August 15. “We have no doubt many stations will not be able to get a renewal of license,” Commissioner Bellows said, adding that on October 15 another 60- day license period would start, so tha radlo control body may retain’ control of licenses for the period necessary for experimentation and transfer. “No thre ed until we are sure of our ground,” Mr. Bellows said. Licenses Not Purchasable. Many small stations with inadequate equipment have remained on the air hoping that they may be commerci saleable and with the ide a profit from their sale. made it plain that station 1 not be purchased, but that a buyer of a radio station today purchases only the physical equipment and not license to operate. The new purchaser must make application for a license, he sald. This applies also in the of WTRC, a new station proposed to be established in Virginia, near Wash- ington. Mr. Bellows said Congress un- doubtedly will be asked to amend the radio law at the next session by add- ing a provision to control air adver- tising. The claim has been made that a station in ‘Towa has advertised ex- tensively over the air, and sold mer- chandise by such advertising, to the direct loss of merchants in the same community who have not access to the air advertising. In addition, he said there is no way to prosecute such stations for unfair or misleading ad- vertising, whereas in the case of mail advertising fraudulency can be ex- posed and punished.
