(James Joseph Tunney, do you intend to take as your legitimate wife Miss Mary Lauder?)” Tunney answered with a resounding “Si" (Yes). Then the question was put to Miss Lauder: “E vol Maria Lauder intendete di prendere per vostra legittimo sposo il Signore Giacomo Giuseppe Tunhey?” With a sweet smile, Miss Lauder re- sponded “Si.” Rings Are Exchanged. The same vows were exchanged as well as rings during the religious cere- mony, which was conducted in English and Latin. Mgr. Breslin made a brief speech wishing the couple every happiness and beamed with pride upon his former parishioner. It was by a special dispensation that the religious ceremony was performed in the hotel and not in the sacristy of a churchy or in an ecclesiastic /buildis such as a rectory. The present pon early in his reign put an end to the practice of having religious ceremonies performed in hotels and private resi- dences, generally condemning this, but stipulated at the same time that ex- ceptions might be made as long as the privilege was not abused. During the religious ceremony both Tunney and his bride knelt on a “prie- dieu” adorned with red cushions. The walls of the room were hung with old red damask against which white roses stood out strikingly. Mrs. Lauder, mother of the bride, could scarcely conceal her emotion at the end of Mgr. Breslin’s benediction upon the young couple. Luncheon Follows Ceremony. After both ceremonies luncheon was served for 25 covers, among the guests being Mgrs. Burke and Breslin, Mr. and Mrs. Daniels and the members of the Lauder party. It was announced that the couple planned to leave soon after luncheon by automobile for an uprevealed destina- tion. Souvenir menus with decorations of flowers and birds and the initials of the newly-weds were much sought after, and bridegroom. Both ceremonies took place in the “royal apartment,” normally for visiting sovereigns. ARERE Traffic in Stolen Car Girl, 11, Changes Places With Boy, 13, at 40- By the Associated Press.

While the chase was | and the car was doing 40, | the 1l-year-old girl who was driving, | changed places and gave the wheel to| the boy.

Read His Feature in hastlclo *Apprentice allo ’ Weather ciesr. + Graham McNamee Is Now Writing Exclusively in Washington for The Sunday Star Next Sunday’s Issue By the Associated Press. Correspondence between J. A. Switzer | of Knoxville, Tenn. sccretary of the! Southern Appalachian Power Confer- ference, and W. J_Baldwin of the Al bama Power Co., Birmingham, Ala., in- | troduced today in the Federal Trade | Commission’s investigation of power utilities, indicated a close co-operation | between the conference and utilities | groups in the South. Writing to Baldwin on August 25, 1927, Switzer said a politician to whom he had shown the printed proceedings of the two previous conference meetings had remarked that “nearly all of your members are representatives of power companies.” “This gentleman was somewhat mis- taken,” wrote Switzer, “but it is true nevertheless that a large portion of | those interested in our organization are power people.” Switzer's letter was in connection with arrangements for the 1927 convention, and he suggested ' that attendance from the power com- panies should be supplemented as much as_possible. He inclosed to Baldwin a copy of the tentative program and proposed “for the power companies to use their in- fluence with the larger power users on their several systems to attend this meeting.” Switzer informed Baldwin that Presl dent Coolidge had been invited by let- ter to attend the convention, and that | the invitation would be supplemented | by the mayor and the Chamber of Com- merce of Chattanooga. “I don't sup- pose there is much chance of our bag- ging any such big game" he added,| “but there is no harm in making the | effort.” Tgnorant of Affairs. Edward Y. Chapin, conference treas- urer, and president of the American Trust & Banking Co. of Chattanooga, Tenn., testified that he knew nothing | of the conference affairs prior to his taking office less than a year ago. He submiited recent financial accounts of | the organization, which were reviewed in part for the record by Robert k. Hl‘al{l. commission counsel. Other witnesses were Thordike Sa- ville of Chapel Hill, N. C., former con- ference treasurer and a member of the University of North Carolina faculty, and J. A. Switzer of Knoxville, Tenn., conference secretary and a member of the University of Tennessee faculty. | Saville testificd that the organiza- tion was originally sponsored by geologi- cal surveys of various Southern States and that subsequently power companies had become interested in its work and had helped to support it financially. He denied that the conference had gone on record in opposition to Governm nt operation of power utilities, saying that he could recall no instance of such ac- | tion. Records of the 1927 convention disclosed, however, that resolutions in | opposition to Government operation of utilities and of the Muscle Shoals proj- ect_especially had been adopted. Iliness prevented the appearance of Dr. Joseph Hyde Pratt, also of Chapel Hill, chairman of the conference executive committee, but exhibits upon Which he was expected to testify were introduced for the record. Chapin testified that approximately $1,300 had been paid to Dr. Pratt| within the last year for services and | expenses and he promised to submit vouchers showing in detail for what purpose the payments were made. He sald the Georgia Power Co. had for- warded $1,500 to him through Dr. Pratt early last Ausgst, Which he un- derstood was Inten: as an advance payment on expenses for a convention. Denies Payments Made. Questioned by Healy, he denied knowledge of a payment by the con- ference to a legislative representative of the Alabama Power Co. in Wash- ington of $609 in the Fall of 1927. He likewise denied knowledge of any pay- ment being made ‘to the conference by the Chattanooga Chamber of Com- merce. Chapin was followed on the stand by Saville, who said that power companies in the South had financed about 50 per cent of the conference expenses be- tween 1924 and 1926. Prior to then, he added, such contributions were negligible. He said that the conference had been formed originally by State geological surveys and that the subse- quent interest manifested in it by the power companies had led to financial contributions by them. The contribu- tions were estimated to average be- tween $100 and $200. Saville said that, to his knowledge, the power companies had never taken part in the formulation of the confer- ence convention program and he could not recall any action by the conference in opposition to Government participa- tion in the power business. When Switzer took the stand, however, Heal, disclosed through the record of lflfi convention that resolutions had been adopted in_opposition to Government operation of utilities and especially the Muscle Shoals project. he record showed that Saville had been a member of the resolutions committee, Tells About Publicity. Detalls of publicity arrangements for the convention were brought up by Healy, who developed that J. R, Hornaday had been retained to do &mucuy work through an arrangement tween Dr. Pratt and W. J. Baldwin and C. Beasley, both of the Alabama Power Co. Switzer sald Dr. Pratt had told him that Hornaday was not em- ployed by the conference and that a $500 check made out to him was in the nature of “an advance.” Other checks for payments to Horna- day were entered on the financial rec- ords of the conference, but Switzer said he had not known either of these or of any payment to Dr. Pratt by the con- ference before today. Examination of Switzer revealed that he had published several articles in opposition to Govern- ment operation of water-power projects, and that he had appeared before con- gressional committees in regard to dis position of Muscle Shoals. He said some of his articles had been examined by Baldwin and Beasley “for criticism” before publication, but that this was done only to assure accuracy in the use of statistics involving the output of the Alabama Power Co. He said he had also conferred with Baldwin and Beasley regarding the speakers be- fore the 1927 convention. “They approved your views, did they not?" asked Healy. “They did,” Switzer replied. Gives Peay’s Stand. The witness pro " zed telegrams which he said had been sent to him by the late Gov. Austin Peay of Tennessee re- garding his stand against Federal oper- ation of Muscle Shoals. He said the governor approved his views and au- thorized him to speak for him before a House committee. “‘We feel in Tennessee that the State has been unfairly treated in the mat. ter of water power development and we have done everything in our power tomhlve the obstacles removed,” he said. Switzer testified that he had been paid $500 by the conference in con- nection with his work in arranging the 1927 convention, but that he had never been paid anything by private power companies.

Henry Behan lies seriously injured in Walter Reed Hospital, and Mrs. Dells Byroads, wife of John Byroads, Bra ley lane, Chevy Chase, is in Emer- gency Hospital with a broken ankle and suffering from shock as the result of a wild chase through the city streets early this morning that culminated in Byroads’ car, driven by Behan, being crumpled against a tree on Sixteenth street near Colorado avenue. Byroads, pursuing his wife and Behan in a taxicab, arrived on the scene of the accident a few seconds after it happened and extricted his wife from the wreckage of the car. ‘Today Byroads blamed a party he and his wife and’ Behan had been at- tending with friends at the apartment of his sister-in-law, at 1930 Eighteenth street. Start for Ride. Byroads sald that between 2 and 3 o'clock this morning his wife and Behan decided to go for a ride. Byroads said that at the time he was out. Return- ing and learning that Behan had taken | his car, Byroads ordered a taxicab and | set forth in chase. Byroads sald he cruised about the streets looking for Behan and his wife and finally sighted them going out Six- teenth street. He gave chase and was close behind the car when it suddenly swerved across Sixteenth street, just past Colarado avenue, bounded the curb- ing and smashed into a tree. ‘Two policemen, F. J. Scoville and F. J. Rowan of the thirteenth precinet were at the corner of Sixteenth street and Colorado avenue when the crash occurred. They had heard the roar of the motors of the two cass coming out Sixteenth street and had mounted their machines to give chase to the race. Helps Wife Out. They arrived at the scene of the wreck a moment after Byroads had ex- tricated his wife from the car. They helped remove Behan from the wreck- age and sent both of the injured per- sons to Walter Reed Hospital for treat- ment. Mrs. Byroads was given first aid treatment for her broken ankle and cuts about her face and neck. Behan's condition was more serious. He had fractures of the right leg and a collar bone and was badly cut about his head and body. At Emergency Hospital this afternoon Mrs. Byroads would see no one. It was reported by doctors that her condi~ tion is not serious. At Walter Reed, Behan's condition was reported as “satisfactory.” Behan's address, as given the police, 1031 § street northwest, does not exist. J. C. MASTIN fiIES: LONG IN U. S. SERVICE Joshua C©.

CAPITAL DOES BIT - FORSTORM RELIEF | | | | 0. C. Quota of $50,000 Over- subscribed, With More Expected. While the Nation as a whole still was more than a million dollars behind the $5,000,000 fund called for by the Red Cross for relief work in the hur- ricane area, Washington today went over its quota, Victor B. Deyber, chair- | man of the District of Columbia relief | fund, reporting total contributions of | $50,224. | 'The Washington quota. originally | fixed at $40,000, was raised to $50,000 when the full extent of the storm damage began to be apparent. Expeets More. Mr. Deyber sald today he felt sure contributions have been com- t a consistently steady rate and have not evinced the tendency to slack off that has been in evidence in other sections of the country. National Red Cross officials said last night they had a total of $3,857,196.86 in hand.
