Only Relatives of President apd His
Bride Are Present—Start on Honey-
moon Trip to 8outh—Try to
Avoid Crowds.
Washington, Dec. 18.—In the pres-
e£co of relatives only, President Wil-
son and Mrs. Edith Bolling Galt were
quietly and simply wedded this eve-
ning in the parlors of the bride's un-
pretentious home at 1308 Twentieth
street. There was no fuss and feath-
ers, and official and social circles
must wait for tomorrow's newspapers
before they know how it all came
about. Secretary of the Treasury Me-
Adoo was the lone official present and
he was there simply as Mr, Wilson’s
son-in-law.
Miss Bertha Bolling of this city at-
tended her sister, the bride, and a
small orchestra from the Marine band
furnished the nuptial music. The bride
wore a dark traveling costume and
carried a huge bouquet of orchids.
She met the bridegroom at the foot
of the broad stairway in her home
and together they went slowly to thd
altar of flowers erected at the east
end of the parlors. The president
placed on her third left-hand fin-
ger a plain gold circlet engraved with
her initials and his own. The cere-
mony was the utmost in simplicity
and taste—in keeping with the bes/
American traditions.
Keep Hour a Secret.
In order to avoid the crowdu ot curi-
ous folk in Washington the hour ot
the wedding was kept secret until late
In the day. The plan worked with fair
success and the police had no trouble
upon, and for years she nas been
known as the most perfectly gowned
woman in Washington, both because
she has exquisite taste and because
she has plenty of means to follow hei
taste in dress. Her gowns have al-
ways been chosen with rare care and
she bought much from the fashionabls
costumers in Paris, where she was •
frequent visitor before the war.
Those who are in a position to know
say the bride spent several months in
the preparation of her trousseau, be-
ing aided In this important labor by
her mother, who also Is a woman of
extraordinary discernment. It was all
complete, 'tis whispered, two weeks
before the date of the wedding. Some
controversy arose as to the origin of
the gowns and frocks and linens and
laces. There were stories to the ef-
fect that French supply houses balked
at furnishing anything through the
medium of German-American middle-
men. Most of the stories were base-
less, be It said truthfully, for ths
bride's wedding outfit was almost en-
tirely of American origin.
Orchids Her Favorite.
Dark green and orchid are the pr*
dominating hues in the trousseau
gowns, for orchids are the new Mrs.
Wilson's favorite flowers. There are
traveling gowns, street frocks and eve-
ning gowns of amazing loveliness
which will be seen much this winter,
for the White House is to be re-
opened for a series of old-time enter-
tainments. The four great official re-
ceptions, which were omitted last win-
ter, will be resumed, and there will be
matinee teas and frequent musicales.
Mr. Wilson is the sixth president of
the United States to narry a widow.
Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Fill-
more and Benjamin Harrison were his
predecessors in this sort of a union,
but in not more than one or two cases
was the widow the second wife—as in
this case. John Tyler and Theodore
Roosevelt married twice, but their
second wives had not been wedded be-
fore.
It Is scarcely necessary to recall
George Washington's marriage The
world knows of his courtship, engage-
ment and espousal. His love was the
"Widow Custis.” Thomas Jefferson,
at the home of a friend, John Wayles,
met Martha Skelton, Wayles’ widowed

in handling the few hundred men,
women and children who pressed
eagerly in the streets near the Galt
home.
As soon as the ceremony was over
and the bride had been saluted by
those present in the accustomed fash-
ion, while the smiling groom received
congratulations, the newly-weds sped
away in a big White House automobile
to the Union station and took a train
to the South for their honeymoon. If
they told anybody their destination
that person kept his secret well. It
is reported from family circles, how-
ever, that the couple will be away utt-
till the first week in January.
They must be back in Washington
by January 7, though, because on that
date the president and Mrs. Wilson
will act as host and hostess at a great
reception to be given In the White
House for the Pan-American repre-
sentatives at the national capital.
Moreover, congress will have recon-
vened, after the holiday season, and
Mr. Wilsoh will have to Jje back at
his desk.
Only Relatives Are Present
Among those present at the cere-
mony were: Miss Margaret Wilson,
the president's eldest daughter; Mrq.
Francis Bowes Sayre of Williams-
town, Mass., the president’s Becond
daughter; Mrs. William G. McAdoo,
the president’s youngest child; Mrs.
Anne Howe of Philadelphia, the presi-
dent's sister; Joseph R. Wilson of Bal-
timore, the president s brother, and
Miss Helen Woodrow Bones, the pres-
ident's cousin.
The bride, who before her marriage
to Norman Galt was Miss Edith Boll-
ing of Virginia, was well represented
wit* kinsmen and kinswomen. She
and her Mother, Mrs. William H. Boll-
ing, have lived together for several
years; and Mrs. Bolling, •$ coarse, wae
the dowager queen of the occasion.

John Tyler's Romance.
John Tyler was twice married, the
second time while he was president.
His first wife was Letitia Christian,
who belonged to one of the old fami-
lies of Virginia. Mrs. Tyler bore the
president nine children. Just before
her husband was elected vice presi-
dent of the United States she suffered
a stroke of paralysis and a short time
after he succeeded William Henry
Harrison as president she died—in the
White House.
The second winter after her death
the president met Julia, the daughter
of a Mr. Gardiner, who lived on one of
the islands in Long Island sound.
The president fell desperately in love
—he wooed as a youth of twenty
would woo, impetuously and roman-
tically. It wasn't a great while before
they were engaged and a short time
later they were married quietly at the
Church of the Ascension in New
York city.
Grover Cleveland did not marry un-
til fairly late in life. Then he fell in
love with Frances Folsom, the daugh-
ter of his law partner. She was a
girl whom he had known from early
childhood—tlere was a time when
she called him "Uncle Cleve.” Mr.
Cleveland and Miss Folsom were
wedded in the famous Blue room at
the White House.
For a long time Jt was thought that
President Wilson and Mrs. Galt would
be married in the White House. Peo-
ple just supposed that Mrs. Galt would
want to go down in history as an
actual White House bride. From the
general femimiae point of view tt
seemed really the only thing te do,
Charmiag. tactful Mrs, Galt decided
age, however, that a woman
sfeould he married in he* ewe home
and net ia that of her husband. Sbe
did not believe ia breaking the Amer-
ica*—nay, the world—precedent in
the matter. Atui to tots ait Waetung-
W’hat was perhaps the largest and
most important transaction ever con-
summated in the southwest agricul-
tural publishing field, was the consol-
idation, on December 1st, of the Okla-
homa Farm Journal with the Oklahoma
Farmer.
John Fields, who for many years
has been associated with Frank North-
up in the publication of the Oklahoma
Farm Journal, will be the editor of the
consolidated publication.
There is perhaps no man in Okla-
homa or the southwest with a larger
acquaintance among farmers and busi-
ness men alike, than John Fields.
Here in Oklahoma, Fields Is given
credit in a very large measure for the
development of the "sure feed crops”
propaganda, which has been of untold
benefit to the farmers of the state.
The new Oklahoma Farmer will be
published on the tenth nnd twenty-
fifth of each month. The editorial
force, business office and circulation
ilepartment, will be located In Okla-
homa City.

Oklahoma City.—
Constitutionality of the mortgage
tax law, passed by the 1913 legislature,
which levies a tax of 50 cents per
$100 for recording of mortgaged with
county clerks, was upheld by the su-
preme court in an unanimous opinion.
The law was attacked by the Trus-
tees, Executors and Lecurities Insur-
ance Corporation and the Golumbia-
Knickerbocker Trust Company, hold-
ers of a mortgage for $31,000,000 upon
the property of the Kansas, Mexico &
Orient Railroad Company. The mort-
gagees sought to mandamus the coun-
ty clerk of Dewey county to accept and
file the mortgage without the collec-
tion of the fee of 50 cents for each
$100 represented in the instrument.
The original case was tried before the
late Justice G. A. Brown, who was
on the district court bench of Dewey
county at the time. He denied the ap-
plication for mandamus, and the high-
er tribunal affirmed his decision.
The mortgage was filed by the mort-
gagees aud the fee paid under protest,
with the stipulation that it would be
returned in the event the court de-
clared the law void.
More Army Horses Off To Meet Death.
Forty cars of Oklahoma horses,
bound for the French war front, moved
out of Oklahoma City on two special
trains over the Katy last week. The
horses were bought by the French gov-
ernment through Davis & Younger, lo-
cal horse and mule dealers. They
went to St. Louis by way of the Katy
and will be moved from there to Jer-
sey CityT N. J.
Major E. E. Hue and Capt. Henry
Le Clerc, both French army officers,
were in the city for two weeks before
the shipment, putting their mark of
approval on the animals. All horses
shipped must be branded with a spe-
cial brand before they leave. The buy-
ers guard this brand very closely, as
this is their one way of avoiding sub-
stitution.
About 65 per cent of the animals
shipped were cavalry horses, weighing
about 1,000 to 1,200 pounds and costing
from $90 to $110. Thirty-five per cent
were artillery horses, weighing from
1,200 to 1,400 pounds and costing $125
to $140 apiece.
Express Hearing For December 21.
The corporation compiission an
nounced December 21 as the date oo
which a hearing will be had for the
purpose of explaining to the shippers
a new system of express rates to be ini
augurated in Oklahoma. The new sysv
tem is called the zone and block plan
and is said to be used by the inter-
state commerce commission in figuring
rates on interstate express shipments.
According to Commissioner Georg#
A. Henshaw’, the adoption of the new
rate schedule means that more than
$600,000, which represents the differ*
ence in the commission rate and the
rate collected by the companies may
be refunded. Of this $60,000 would go
to the state aud the remainder to th#
shippers who paid the money to th#
express companies.
The commission on June 11, 1909*
promulgated a new schedule of ex-
press rates for Oklahoma, to become
effective on August 30 of that year,
The new schedule provided for a d»
crease in rates of an average of abou*
20 per cent. Tne express companies
appealed from the commission ordei
to the supreme court. In December;
1913, the supreme court upheld the
commission’s order with certain modi,
fications. The companies put the com-
mission rates into effect, but applied)
to the federal court lor an order re-
straining the commission from enforc-
ing and requiring the companies to re-
fund the $600,000.
According to statements by James
H. Hyde, secretary of the commission,
the zone and block system for express
companies is similar to the parcel post
rate system. »
State Fair Grounds Not Sold.
Failure of the state to sell the quar-
ter section east of the city, upon
which is located the State Fair
grounds, will in no way affect either
the school land department or the
fair management, according to a state-
ment by George Smith, secretary of
the school land board.
"The only action that will result,
will be the leasing of the land to the
fair management for another fiv6
years, subject as always, to a sale.
As to what the figures for that lease
will be, 1 am unable to say,” said Mr.
SmitR. “The state received $500 a year
from the fair for the ground during
the past five years, and as the valua-
tion made at the time of the last sale
was higher than that made this time,
it is net likely that this amount will
be raised, when negotiations are en-
tered into for the re-leasing.”
While $500 a year, on a valuation of
Nsw Law Invoked In Employe’s Suit.
For the first time since the work-
men’s compensation law became effec-
tive the state industrial commission!
filed suit for the benefit of a laborer
for compensation said to be due him
under that law. The commission-
brought suit in Oklahoma county dis-
trict court against the Oregon ia Bridge
Company and F. W. Keeney for $3,00®
alleged to be due Golda C. Gray of Cal-
umet, an employe of the company, who
was injured on October 11,1915.
The commission asserts that the
company has not complied with the
workmen’s compensation law.
Gray, a telegraph operator by trac>
but employed by the company as *
laborer, was instructed, it is alleged,,
by Jack Lawson, foreman, to go upon
a bridge the company was building
over the North Canadian r|ver at Cal-
umet, and assist in cutting steel. And,
while holding the instrument, Lawson.
| missed his mark, striking Gray with
such force as to cause him to fall.
Bray’s left thumb was broken In three-
places and mashed, the commission-
says.
It is alleged that the injury to 'iray’s-
thumb has incapacitated him as a tele-
graph operator. Gray’s income frorn
the bridge company, the petition
states, was $2.00 a day. His earning:
capacity as a telegraph operator was
$65 a month.
Ruling On Cigarette Question.
Has a school teacher in Oklahoma
the right to ask a pupil—a minor-—
where he got a cigarette or cigarette-
materials found in his possession?
$48,0( 0, amounts to less than 1% per That is a question asked Attorney Gen-
cent, it is considered improbable that | erai s. P. Freeling by E. M. Cooke of
the same land, leased to anyone else,
would bring more than that, and
this figure, or a smaller one, will prob-
ably represent the state’s income from
the school land, on which the Slate
Fair buildings stand, for the next five
years.
