Yale football star, will be married in her apartment in the Ritz- Carlton hotel at noon today to Mar- shall H. Russell, of Winchester Va. Only a few intimate friends will be présent. Russell {s an investment broker, and a brother of Dr. James G. Russell of No. 37 East Sixty-first street, at- tending surgeon at . the Rooséeveit hospital. It was through his brother that Ruesell met Mrs. Shevlin when she was a patient in the hospital. Mrs. Sheviin was Elizabeth Sher- tey, a noted Kentucky beauty. An army officer committed suicideé im- mediately after the announcement of her engagement to Shevlin, and many who recalled his constant attentions to the Louisville beauty tn/.vad a con- nection. It was on the day that Yale under Shevlin's leadership, beat Harvard, in 1905 that her engagemeént to the big football man was announced. 8ix weeks later it was broken off. Shev- lin became engaged to Vera Gilbert; Miss Sherley wa sreported engaged to the Marquis De Mores, and later to Herbert M. Harriman, but none of these affairs lasted.

The American Railroad commission, headed by John F. Stevens, also ar- rived. The commission consists of eleven members and was escorted into the capital by M. Metinsky, Russia's representative. 4 At the Nikolal statlon awaiting to greet the American engineers were David R. 'Francis, the American Am- bassador, the nu.&u of the embassy, and the American Consulate, and N. V. Nekrasoff, Minister of Ways and Communications in the ‘British cab- inet. In a statement made immediately after his arrival, Mr. Stevens said that the commission’s alm was to assist the Russian people and the Russian government, especially In railroad af- fairs, by cing at Russia’s disposal America’s technical skill and indus- trial resources. i “The commission is strictly official,” said Mr, Stevens. “Its primary ob- Ject is to help the Allies in the war aguinst ‘Gérmany. The commission will establish general relations with the Russian government, and also especially with the Railroad and Wi Departments. As soon as we have formed judgment as to the special defects and needs of the Russian roads we shall enter into negotiations with a special technical commission in the United States to supply at the quickest possible moment the neces- sary materials. We are further ready to facilitate the supply to Russia of war materials and ifron and coal. “Having already examined at con- siderable length the Russian railroads ‘we have a high opinion of the merits of the railroad personnel. With im- proved technical equipment Russia’s railroad system would be one 6f the chiet systems in the world.” b HORN FOUND GUILTY . German Army Officer Tried to Blow Up Bridge Boston, June' 14.—Werner Horn, who declared himself an officer of the German Landwehr, was found guilty late yesterdey in the Federal court on & charge of unlawfully transporting dynamite in interstate commerce. Horn was arrested in February, 19165, after an attempt to blow up the inter- national bridge at Vanceboro, Me. Horn, who testiffed, admitted the correctness of a statement presented by th® government, detailing a con- feasion that he transported explosives from New York to Vanceboro which was exploded in an attempt to de- stroy the bridge. Being unable to reach Germany, he sald, after war was declared, he set out to destroy the bridge as'an act of war. The presentation of an agreed state- ment of facts made it unnecessary to call & number of witresses. - OUR NOTE T0 CHINA U. S. Considered As Meddler. in Far East Aftairg Tokio, June 12. (delayed.)—The question of China, as it exists between the United States and Japan, has been brought sharply to the surface by the note of the American govern- meént to China expressing regret over the dissensions in that country and a desire that tranquility and a politi- cal co-ordination be established. Re- sarding the future of China as inter- woven mainly with her own, Japan as long observed a fundamental policy, the goal of which is to pro- cure recognition by the powers of a special and paramount position for Japan in China. The impression prevails in Tokio that Great Britain and France. since the outbreak of the war, have ex- tended a measure of recognition of special privileges to Japan and the present issue appears to involve the question whéther the United States shall abandon the prerogative of in- dependent action in China and hence- forth consult Japan. The following statement of Japan’s position is fur- nished to the Associated Press in well informed quarters; “When Japan and the allies were about to urge Yuan,Shi Kai, (the late president) to postpone restoration of the monarchy, the United States was consulted beforehand and invited to participate. The United States re- plied that it favored it & republic but could not interfere in the internal af- fairs of China. “The rec¥nt note which virtually was interference and .was without con- sulting Japan, caused surprise. It ‘was not until afterwards that we were notifiled and invited to participate. “We are making efforts to -assure the people that the United States had 1.no intention of slighting the Japanese | but they are extremely sensitive to anything touching China which they deem a supremely vital question of H Japan's future.” The foreign office declines to: discuss what action will be adopted toward America.
