of “high finance” was reveal
ed today in a statement to the

millions in profits in transactions
in stocks of the road, and subsi

He denied that any railroad of
ficial was interested in the Hil

secret arrangements, but ad
mitted agreeing to take over
from the New England Naviga
tion Cnmrtanv. a New Haven sub
sidiary sixteen million dollars
of gold notes of New England
Investment Security Company,
another New Haven subsidiary,
in payment for the Boston and
Maine stock repurchased by New
Haven Railroad.
He testified that he bought
bought Boston and Maine stock
when supreme court declared
ownership by New Haven ille
gal and knew that the New
Haven expected to get the law
changed so that company could
hold stock. After a year the bill
authorizing such holding passed
the Massachusetts legislature,
and he sold the stock back at
the market price.

MISS WILSON 14TH
j WHITE HOUSE BRIDE
Miss Eleanor Wilson And Secre
tary McAdoo To Wed
This Evening.
I
i ■ '
United Press Dispatch.
Washington, May 7.—Not
j withstanding the efforts to make
: the fourteenth White House
(wedding today, the simplest of
ceremonies, only two things
I were lacking to make it as elab
orate as any of the previous
ones. These were: the wedding
lacked the presence of the diplo
matic corps, representatives of
the army and navy and the use
of the blue room instead of the
East room.
Miss Eleanor Wilson, young
jest daughter of the president,
| will be married at 6 p. m. to
William Gibbs McAdoo, secre
tary of the treasury. Only
members of the immediate fam
ily of the bride and the groom
and McAdoo’s colleagues in the
cabinet with the vice-president
and Mrs. Marshall are to be
present. The last rehearsal
was held at 11 o’clock.
There is to be none of the
pomp and ceremony which at
tended the marriage last No
vember of Miss Jessie Wilson to
Francis Bowses Sayre. The fact
that the groom wras a widower
influenced this decision.
The ceremony takes place in
the Blue room amid banks of a
thousand roses, ferns and palms
where Miss Frances Folsom was
wedded to President Cleveland.
The nuptials were almost identi
cal with those /)f the Cleveland
wedding. It, too, was a private
affair, with only a dozen or so
invited guests.
The word “obey” is not to be
eliminated from the ceremony
says Rev. Mr. Veach and the
Episcopal service will be used.
President and Mrs- Wilson
have always maintained that
the affairs of the woman-folk of
the White House were not pub
lic business and so up until to
day practically no information
was given out as to the wed
ding.
Secretary McAdoo, the groom,
is 51 years of age. He has six
children living and one grand
child. Miss Wilson is 24 years
old. She is the most vivacious
of the President’s three daugh
ters. She first met Secretary
McAdoo while he was acting as
chairman of the Democratic
National Committee and came
to the “Summer White House”
at Sea Girt to confer with the
then Democratic Presidential
canaiuaie.
Both Miss Wilson and McAdoo
had much in common. Both
were fond of tennis. They en
joyed dancing the new style dan
ces. Their acquaintanceship at
Sea Girt ripened here in Wash
ington when McAdoo became one
of the President’s advisers- The
two were constantly together.
Miss Noma McAdoo, one of the
Secretary’s daughters, who is a
year or so older than Miss Wil
son, was her constant compan
ion. They took long automo
j bile drives and walks together
land McAdoo was Miss Wilson’s
, favored dancing partner.

Crop Conditions Normal.
' Little Rock, May 7.— The con
sensus of opinion among agri
cultural experts throughout the
state is that crop conditions at
i this time are about normal.
The weather during the past
week was in the main unfavora
ble, there being too much rain,
and the temperature being too
low for the germination of cot
ton seed. The plant in the low
lands as a rule, where it was
planted about the middle of
April, is growing well, and is
; in much better con dition than
I that planted earlier, while the
later planting is not up yet.
It is estimated that there is
an increase of 5 to 10 per cent in
the cotton acreage of the state.
There is also a disposition to
ward diversified and intensive
farming. More corn, grain, hay
and live stock is being raised.
This does not mean less cotton,
\ but the policy is “More cotton at
j less cost, on less land.” More
| fertilizer is being used than ever
Before, and scientific methods are
j more prevalent.
So far this season there has
ibeen very little damage due to
overflows except in a section near !
!Arkadelphia, on the Ouachita,'
where several thousand acres of
cotton were destroyed.
Car of Bananas.
J. B. Heard has a car of nice,!
