"Conditions here are very crowded

is to rent additional space at high

in Registrar’s Office
_✓
I rfv fr V/ Cbrm tc4
By International XewH kpnli'p.
London, April 14.—Despite their
romantic courtship, which aroused
the jaded interest of two continents,
the marrjnge of pretty Mathilde Mc
Cormick, 18, granddaughter of John
1). Rockefeller, and Maj. Max Oser,
the middle aged Swiss riding master,
was as prosaic as the nuptials of any
two persons in *the most humble
ranks of life, it became known today
through friends.
The exclusive announcement of the
marriage, circulated by International
News Service Friday, was confirmed
in every detail.
Mhthilde and Max Oser were mar
ried at the registry office In Lewis
ham. a suburb southeast of London,
near Greenwich, inhabited by per
sons of the middle class, such as
shop keepers and well-to-do artisans.
When the couple entered the dingy,
smoke-grimed registry office they
found a crowd of persons before
them. Major Oser held Mathilde
gently by the arm. They spoke to
gether in low tones and then sat
down to wait their turn.
Two registrars. Frank Beltham and
W. R. Owen, performed the cere
mony.
For the first time Major Oser’s
exact age was officially revealed. The
license said he was 45. Mathilde
celebrated her 18th birthday one week
ago today.
Major Oser gave his full name as
William Max Oser, bachelor, and sol
dier by profession. Mathilde, who
had b»en living most of the winter
in a little flat In Kensington, said
she was "a spinster of independent
means.” '
Established Residence.
For nearly a month before the
ceremony, Oser had been living in
Hither Green to "establish a legal
residence in the district covered by
the Lewisham registry office.
The couple left London as quietly
ns they were married. Some helieve
they have gone to Scotland. Others
think they are on their way ro
Switzerland, Their real destination
is known only to the happy bride and
groom.

Slice of Garland Fund With
Held Because A. F. of L.
Not “Radical.”
By AMorinted Pro**.
Washington, April 14.—Because the
Workers Education bureau, an or
ganization of the American Federa- j
tton of Labor, is not "definitely com- 1
mltted to a radical program,’’ the
American Fund for Public Service, ,
Inc., has refused to include the bureau
among beneficiaries in its outlay of
the $800,000 fund turned over to it
by Charles Oarland of Boston, out
of the rejected inheritance from his
father.
Samuel Oompers, president of the
labor federation, in making puhllc •
a letter from the Oarland fund or- .
ganizatiop refusing a request for a
$100,000 endowment fund for the edu
cation bureau, charged Thursday
night that the Oarland money was
being used to "bring together an in
terlocking network of pacifist and
revolutionary organizations of more
or less extreme character.”
“The American Fund for Public
service,” Mr. Oompers declared, "dis
closed Itself in Ms, true garb as a
proponment of, revolutionary effort.”
Attempt to Control Miners.
A statement made puttie by tho
United Mine Workers of America de
clared that those who are in
ontrol of the Oarland fitn<$ are
"making a desperate hut vain attempt
to control and dictate the policies of
the coal miners’ union.”
"This is the same aggregation,” the
statement said, "that formulated
and prepared the so-called plan for
nationalization of coal mines which
was made public at a recent meet
ing of radicals in New York. Tt will
be remembered that that plan for
nationalization was given to the
public at that time with a false im
pression that it was the plan of the
United Mine Workers of America.
The plan was repudiated by the union
when it Was made public."
Slap Back at Gompers.
New York, April 12—Officials of
the American Fund for Public Service,
tonight Issued a statement asserting
that tho attack made upon it by Pam- !
uel Oompers, president of the Amer
ican Federation of Labor, was "clear- ,
ly the result of his disappointment at
not receiving money for an enterprise
in which he la interested.
The reply, issued by Norman M.
Thomas and Roger N. Baldwin, pro*
Ident and secretary of the fund, re
ferred to the allegations of Mr. Gom
pers that the fund, administering the
*800.(100 inheritance turned over to it
by Charles Garland of Boston, was
helng Utilize,! by ‘‘reds’’.
"The personnel and activities of this
fund were given wide publicity In the
public press about eight months sgo.
said the reply. "If Mr. Gompers ;
thought we were a revolutionary or
ganization. with which it was Im
proper for the labor movement to
deal, lie should have then warned his
adherents. It comes with poor grace 1
from him now to object to the char
acter of the fund's trustees, after one
of ills enterprises has faded to re
ceive the *100.600 it asked fur.
( barge Inaccuracy.
"As a matter of fact Mr. Gompers
is quite inaccurate in many ot" his
characterizations. A number of the
trustees of the fund were bv no means
pacifists during the war and tlios*
who were are content to i*e in the
company above mentioned".
"Meanwhile, fair-minded citizens of

Harding Plan for World Court
Is Favored by Women Voters
World Peace and International Relations Prove Ab
sorbing Topic at National Meeting—Effort Made
to Keep Partisan Issues From Resolutions—
Endorsement of League Will Be Defeated.
IW MYRTLE MASON.
Special IliftputHi to The Ornalui He#.
Des Moines. la., April 14.—“The time
has come," the walr/ts said, “to talk
of many things.”
The walrus was right, the time has
come on this, the eve before adjourn
ment of the fourth annual cpnven
tlon of the National League of Wo
men Voters, to summarize the work
of the 500 delegates representing a
hodv of more than a million women.
Will the convention go on record
for the league of nations, has been
a query frequently heard. The an
swer Is no. The answer bears no
relation to sentiment for or against
the league, but Is based upon a de
termination by this nonpolltlcal body
to stick to principles and not to deal
in party issues, and the Wilson
league is considered by them to be a
party issue.
Favor Harding Court.
During the afternoon period for
resolutions, every effort to inject
league of nations doctrine was killed.
A resolution finally passed in which
the delegates pleaded active support
to the proposal of the president and
the secretary of state for participa
tion by the United States in the
permanent court of international jus
tice, believing this to be the first
step toward ttie outlawry of war and
toward that fuller and more far-reach
ing internal co-operation which Is
necessary to prevent war.
This convention represents a cross
section of the country. It may be In
teresting to politicians to know that
outlawry of war has commanded
mors interest from this convention
than all other subjects combined. It
appears to be the unanimous sense
of this body that international peace
and co-operation transcend in import
ance all other matters. The speeches
by Lord Robert Cecil, Herbert Hoo
ver and Judge Florence Allen have
been under constant discussion. If
one may take the conduct of the Na^
ttonal League of Women Voters to
mean anything at all. It Is that the
people of this country are thinking
more profoundly on world peace and
world relations than ever before and
that well-conceived and definite action
will be demanded.
Only Minimum Step.
Harding’s world court plan as pre
sented here by Hoover Wednesday
night seems to have met with entire
approval, the only objection heard to
it has been that it is "the minimum
step,"
If this plan or sbme plan looking
inward world peace has not been put
Into operation by 1924, our interna
tional relations will most certainly,
in the writer’s! opinion, be the cam-,
paign issue again, though in a differ
ent form than in 1920.
Another conclusion which may be ,
Ir.iwn relates to the I-eague of :
Women Voters plan of work for the
'omlng year. They will continue as
in the past. Including education, ac
tive work for specific legislation and
participation in all welfare branches
relating to women and children. The
alternative proposed was to omit wel
fare work and concentrate on legisla
tion, both state and federal.
