July 25 W) Miaa Muriel Vanderbilt and Frederic Cameron Church Jr.

were married here this afternoon at 4:80 o'clock. Only the immediate members of the two families and a few Intimate friends witnessed the ceremony although many of the socially elect attended the reception which followed at Beachmound. The ceremony was performed by the Right Rev. Herbert Shlpman, Suffragan Bishop of New York, and the Rev. Stanley C.

Hughes, rector of Trinity Church, Newport. Robert G. Payne of Boston, who had raced back 11,000 miles from Japan, was the best man of his Harvard classmate, who had selected as ushers Lawrence Van Ingen, Robert W.

The bride's gown, chosen by her mother in Paris, was of silver satin trimmed with lace. She wore a lace wedding veil that was worn by her mother on her wedding day and carried a bouquet of orchids. On the left side of the silver pillow on which she knelt at the altar was the original orange blossom decoration worn by Mrs. Vanderbilt, Miss Vanderbilt was unattended. Her sister.

Miss Consuelo, who was to act as maid of honor, was taken suddenly ill and did not even Bee the ceremony. The marriage, which attracted so much attention in the social world, follows a romance that began two years ago when Miss Vanderbilt and Mr. Church met In the South. Probably no wedding in recent years has attracted more of the socially prominent. It also served to bring most of the Vanderblhvramtly together for the first time in several years.

The only two of the bride's relatives who did not attend were (Continued on Page 4.) Ka-Klax Kavalcade Drops From 10,000 to About 400 (Special to The Eagle.) Oceanslde, L. July 25 The Ku-Klux Klan parade through this village and to Rockvllle Centre, which Klan officials boasted would be attended by 10,000 Klansmen, turned out to be a disappointment to the knights. Only about 400 were in line. These were robed but unmasked. A few delegates came from other parts of Long Island, Connecticut and New Jersey.

July 25 The lid was placed on the Charleston dance here today by Mayor Frank Borden Jr. The Mayor said he had ordered that the dance be barred from the floor of the municipal-owned Ueach Casino because of reports of broken shins. "I have no objection to a person dancing their foet and head off." said Mavor Borden, "but I think It best that they keep away from the SEE! IN THE PRIMARIES Supporters Declare Only Conflict Will Take Place If there is to be a primary fight, Tammany Leader Oivany and Bronx Leader Flynn must teke the respon sibility.

With three out of the five boro leaders back of him, Hylan Will be the organization designee. Oivany and Flyj) may oppose the organization designee if they choose. The above describes the position taken by the Hylan forces on the eve of the flve-boro Conference of leaders.

1 Mayor Hylan must not be re nominated regardless of the wishes of McCooey and Rendt. Tammany will go the limit to force Hylan out of City HUH. If there must be a primary fight, Tammany is ready. It will be carried into all boros and made against every supporter of Hylan. See Hylan as Independent.

That Is the position of the Mayor's opponents. Tammany doubts, however, that Hylan would be willing to teke his chances in a primary fight. There is a fear he may wait and run as an independent. The Mayor's supporters deny this. They say Hylan Is, "regular" and anxious to prove himself the strong est man his party can put In the field against the Republican or Fusion nominee.

"If there is to be a fight it will be a primary fight," the Mayor's supporters said last night. "If Hylan's opponents insist he is not the strongest man we can name, let them prove it in the primary." Foley Choice, Is Report. Men who claim to know the plans of Tammany say that Surrogate Foley will be the choice of the Manhattan and Bronx leaders. It figured that Foley would have a better chance to win enrolled voters in Kings if there Is to be a primary fight and that he would make an excellent run on Election Day if victorious in the primary. But there Is some question as to udge Foley's willingness to run, and the Tammany leaders are far from being In aoc.ord on the second choice, gome of them favor Justice Wagner and others insist it should be Senator Walker.

Walker is regarded as willing to Aght Mayor Hylan, W. R. Hearst and every one else. Apparently the county leaders are heading toward a deadlock. Governor Smith would not be displeased if they called upon him, his friends say, to settle the matter.

How Hylan Figures. In the event of a primary fight, Manhattan and the Bronx would l'ne up some 4,000 votes stronger than Brooklyn, Queens and Richmond, The Hylan people figure they could carry every boro but Manhattan. The antl-Hylan people believe that Hylan- would be badly beaten in Manhattan and the Bronx and that his opponent would be able to split the other three counties. Friends of the Mayor" still continue confident that Oivany and Flynn will be persuaded against a primary fight at the flve-boro conference and tnat they will agree to take Hylan. The Mayor's opponents look upon this as nonsense and declare that McCooey win be shown a stronger candidate within the next 10 days.

MEDICAL EXAMINER STARTS PROBE INTO DEATH OF BRUNNER Retired Jeweler Found Dead With Class of Colorless Liquid Nearby. An element of mystery wa given the death of Robert Brunner, 69, of 225 Ocean when up to a late hour last night no customary written report of Its cause had hewn filed In the medical examiner's office. Found dead In bed yesterday morning with a glass containing a small amount of a colorless fluid on a nearby night table, Mr. Brunner's death was announced by relatives as the result of natural causes, while the medical examiner notified the police to make an Investigation. At the medical examiner's office last night a request for the recorded cause of Mr.

Brunner's death met with" the direction to call up Assistant Medical Examiner Dr. George W. Ruger at a given telephone number. At that number was received a reference back to the office, to which It was said that a report had been made. A second call on the medical examiner's office brought acknowledgement of receipt from Dr.

Ruger of an oral report and the statement that "we can't take any chances and give out a report like that until we have It here on file." Mr. Brunner retired from the Jewelry business last April. A brother, Ferdinand, who was associated with him In business, committed suicide by poison a year ago. ical friends and numerous sportsmen. The prohibition agents smashed open 1,000 private lockers in tho club in their search for evidence.

The agents said Assistant Secretary Andrews of tho Treasury Department had sent two men from Washington to makn a preliminary Investigation on which to base today's raid. F. A. general manager of the club; R. C.

Mazer, manager of the dining room, who was a candidate for Alderman last spring, and Charles Elsman, head waiter, were taken into custody. FIG 1 HYLAN I 'S Profited by reet, Bay and Boardwalk, Even Park Concession, Says Kerrigan. Even "Mayor Hylan's Streets" and "Mayor Hylan's Peoples' Parks" are a source of "Slnnott family pride and profit," Deputy Controller Charles F. Kerrigan declared last night. Mr.

Kerrigan has been conducting investigations for Controller Craig into the city bonding activities of the firm of Slnnott anty, of which J. Paul Slnnott, brother of Mayor Hylan's secretary and son-in-law. is th 26- year-old president. In a statement, the third on ttv subject in a week from the Control, ler's office, Kerrigan declares that Slnnott Canty handled the bonds not only for the roadway improvements in Prospect Park, but also for many of the lucrative city street paving contracts. A Source of Revenue.

"Mayor Hylan's Streets and Mayor Hylan's Parks have not been overlooked as a source of rake-off for the Mayor's relatlvea-in-law," Kerrigan stated. "Sinnott Canty literally are picking money off the streets and parkways In the form of commissions on paving contracts. Thus have the public parks and streets at last been turned Into a 'source of revenue' under Mayor Hylan's Administration." Then the Deputy Controller goes on to "suggest a speech" for Mayor Hylan to deliver as he "strolls along the boardwalks and beaches." "If Mayor Hylan would only open up about the Slnnotts and tell the truth about the 86 messages exchanged between his office and the collecting agency of Slnnott Canty, he could fill the largest hall In the city and could even charge admission," Kerrigan said. Continuing the statement he says the Mayor could make his speech interesting if he would reveal the following facts: The Rockaway Boardwalk. "1.

The very beach improvement at Rockaway Beach, for which he will claim credit, will pay tribute to Sinnott Canty, to the extent of thousands of dollars of taxpayers' money, because that firm gets the premium on a 11,000,000 bond covering the work. "2. Tho Beach Channel Drive Improvement, which he will also mention, bonded for 1526.000, will cost the city an additional $4,110 to pay the premium to Slnnott Canty. "8. The Jamaica Bay Boulevard, crossing the bay to Rookaway Beach, will also help swell the family treasury to the tune of thousands of dollars iri premiums collected by Slnnott Canty.

Flatbiinh Ave. Extension. "4. The Flatbush ave. extension, from the Brooklyn shore to Barren Island, which Is designed as a short cut to Rockaway, is another source of family pride and profit because the Sinnott 4 Canty agency hue obtained a premium of $2,826 on a 100,000 bond one contract for that work.

"Mayor Hylan is doubtless in a position to tell much more about these contracts if he cares to, as well as numerous other interesting sidelights on the profitable connections of Slnnott Canty. Last Sunday he invaded the rest and recreation ot thousands at Coney Island, competing with the other barkers for entertainment. Tomorrow, at the Rockaways, if he would only open up about the Slnnotts, going back to the days When he was a Magistrate and held court In a building rented to the city by one of the Slnnott family, and come down to their later, city-wide operations, he would not have to buttonhole pleasure seekers. He could charge admission and fllll the largest hall in the city. The Mayor might well explain to his auditors on Sunday afternoon what motives animated the contractors to pay their premiums to Sinnott Canty on these four bu contracts, none of which, it may be noted, come under the direct control of any of Mayor Hylan's commissioners.

Three of them ar under the supervision of the Boro President of Queens, and one of them under the supervision of the Boro President of Brooklyn. They are as follows: The Four Premiums. Beach Improvement at Rockaway, awarded to W. H. Gahagan Realty Company of Brooklyn, amounting to $1,269,891, bonded for premium payable to Sinnott ft Canty, $9,619.

Beach Channel Drive, awarded ti W. H. Gahagan Realty Company, three contracts, $509,115. $17,650, $21,282, bonded for a total of nremium. $4,110.

Jamaica Bav Boulevard, contract 1 awarded to Patrick McGovern Company, amounting to bonded for $100,000, premium paid to Sln-Nott A Canty, $1,600. Flatbush ave. extension to Rockaway Inlet, W. H. Gahagan Realty Company, contract price, bond, $100,000, premium, $2,826.

Profit in Com-esKlon. The nule of popcorn, drink and other refreshments In the parks ate also a source of profit to Slnnott Canty. Mrs. Lucy Madden, ho has three of the large concessions In Central Park The Elephant House, the Mineral Springs Bullrt-lng and the Dairy Restaurant, and a stand on the parade grounds In Prospect Park, for the sale of "Ice cream, milk, lemonade, other liquid drinks, popcorn, candy, peanuls, sandwiches, crackers, pie, cake, fruit, cigarettes and cigars," pays a portion of her proceeds to Slnnott Canty In th form of bond premiums. So does Alexander lloury, who has similar concessions.

Thus have the public parks and streets at last been turned Into a source of revenue" under Mayor Hylan's administration.

Brooklyn As the daily throngs go about their shopping through the various floors of this store they have heard the clatter of hammer and the hum of the saw and they have seen busy workmen hurrying here and there. Many have asked us rwhat it is all about The story is simple. It is the story of another example of A. S.

progress; another example (of which you have seen many in the past 60 years) of the desire of this fine old store to become an even better store the determination to change its equipment from time to time, as conditions make it necessary, so it can serve you better. This is quite truly characteristic of Abraham Straus. It was a characteristic of the founder of this business, whose sole desire was that he should build a business that would be a monument to Service; a store in which you would find the -thing you want at the time you want it, at the price you want to Quite early in the history of this business its founder gathered around him a small group of men whose ideas and ideals coordinated with his ideas and ideals. He instilled in these men the love of service and built in their minds a strong loyalty to fine principles. And it is interesting to know that Abraham Straus is one of the few stores that have continuously remained and today is under, the guidance and personal ownership of the same men who were partners of its founder.

The' founder of this business has passed on. Kiif fViriCA irKir tii benefit of working be- side him and who haa the rare opportunity to absorb his aims, objects, policies and ideals tocU.y are still at the hefn, guiding this business in the way the four or himself visualized So, as you go thrc the second, the third t'ie fourth and the floors you will see evidences of changes for the making of a still better store. With the gain in volume in our business during the past year, the largest in any one year in our history, more room is needed for selling space. There are about 100 painters and carpenters now at work transforming and rearranging departments. The work they, are doing represents the concrete evidence of months of careful thought, with only one objective in mind BETTER SERVICE Outo A.

S. Nwt ea FsHewiaf to SLEMP A FIGURE Watson's and Other Pres sure Bring Changes 24 Hours After Warning. Eagle 901 Colorado Building. By HEXRY SUYDAM. Washington, July 25 Within 24 hours after President Coolidge told reporters at Swampscott that Prohibition enforcement must be divorced trom politics, the Treasury Department this afternoon announced a number of changes, seeming to bear a political stamp, from the original reorganization plans scheduled to go into operation Aug.

1, but now postponed until Sept. 1. The strongest pressure, political and otherwise, has been brought during the past month to have certain important changes made in the administrative districts as originally planned. At least some of these changes have been granted. Slemp's Request Granted.

Under the original plan of Lincoln C. Andrews, Assistant Treasury Secretary, in supreme charge of enforcement," one of the new districts was to consist of Virginia, District of Columbia, Maryland and Delaware. C. Bascom Slemp, former secretary to President Coolidge, also Republican National Committeeman from Virginia, together with Joseph A. Krupper, Republican State chairman for Virginia, pro tested against this arrangement, and asked General Andrews to have Virginia linked with West in a separate district.

The Treasury's announcement this afternoon places Virginia and West Virginia in a separata district, thus following out the precise requests of Messrs. Slemp and Krupper. Watson's Pressure Wins. Another change that evoked much interest tonight was the separation of Michigan and Indiana. Senator James E.

Watson of Indiana objected to this arrangement, not only because it looked as If Burt C. Morgan, the present Prohibition director of Indiana and a henchman of Postmaster General Harry 8. New, Watson's arch political enemy, would be appointed to the proposed Michigan-Indiana district, but because Watson didn't like the idea of Indiana being tied up with Michigan, where Senator James Couzens has his bailiwick. In any case, the Treasury announced that Michigan and Indiana had been separated. The nevfc proposition 1 to Unit'-tip "Michigan and Ohio "and to put Indiana into a new district to be composed of Indiana and certains parts of Illinois and Wisconsin.

Call It "Statesmanship." The fact that these changes coincide with urgent recommendations trom prominent Republicans is accepted as indication that while enforcement may be divorced from politics It will be a limited and not absolute separation. The polite words and pious expressions of a hope omanating from White Court and Treasury during the past week are received in Washington with considerable skepticism. When it Is proposed to take polities out of Prohibition, the kind of politics that is meant is the inefior, ward-heeler variety, which Is admitted to honeycomb the present arrangement and the existing staffs, but not the higher class metnoas on which Administrations flourish and which sometimes are referred to as "statesmanship." The wide discretion to be granted to the 24 new district directors, together with the caliber of men whom General Andrews hopes to name, probably will eliminate much of the politics of the cheap, grafting variety. But It Is recognized as Idle to claim that political considerations (Continued on Pace 4.) MOTHER GETS LIFE IN PRISON FOR THE SON Mrs. Cunningham Poisoned Baby and Others in Her Family.

His emotional control had been weakened. He told the people before him what he said was "a true story." Raisin a threatening linger before him, Mr. Hylan continued: "If the members of my own political party are in doubt as to whether I am the right man for the next four years, perhaps some of hhem have been offered B.

At any rate he modified the indictment. "If they have- not been approached," the Mayor added, "they have seen the color of the certificates" For a- moment those In the audience who knew politics stood aghast. "Did Mayor Hylan mean that his opponents in the Wigwam had been bribed to oppose him?" That was the question many a man asked of his neighbor during the rest of the day. Dalton Praises Him. Then Mayor Hylan, who had been roundly cheered when Long Beach's chief executive, William J.

HYLAN CONJURES fiblS Foreign Legion Captain, Wounded in RifHan War Rome, July 25 G4) Prince Aage of Denmark, a captain in the French Foreign Legion, has been wounded while fighting Abd-el-Krlm's Rlfflans in Morocco. This information has been received by his relatives here. The Prince in 1914 married the Countess Calvi di Bergolo, whose brother Is the husband of Princess Yolanda, eldest daughter of the King and Queen of Italy. Prince Aage visited the United States In 1919.

Recently he was cited for bravery while fighting with the French Foreign Legion Morocco. Fez, French Morocco, July 25 An official communique says the French have cleared the western part of the Ouergha River Valley of Abd-El-Krim's Rifflan invaders. The enemy tribesmen are fleeing, after heavy losses. The French also took a number of prisoner. A French relief force reached Bad MaroudJ with provisions and munitions after a brilliant advance.

A message of cheer has been given the French forces in Morocco in the first general order Issued by Gen. Stanislas Naulln, new commander-in-chief. "Have courage and confidence, his order says. "The hour is approaching when we will be able to utilize our forces to the utmost. I bow before your flags and standards and salute most respectfully the memory of your brave ones who have fallen gloriously on the field of honor.

We will avenge them soon." Spanish AM Promised. Paris, July 25 UP) With promises from Madrid of active Spanish mili tary co-operrrflon. with Marshal Pe-taln arranging to consult Monday with Prlmo De Rivera, President of the Spanish Military Directorate, and with General Naulln's ringing general order to the troops In Morocco, the week ends with France In a position to start an offensive against Abd-El-Krlm and his Moorish forces under the best conditions. The presence of the famous Moroccan Division ready to go into action has had an enormous effect on the Rifflan tribesmen, and news of the impending arrival of the American flying squad likewise has given the Moor leaders and posstnie aa-herents something to think- about. Colonel Sweeney's airmen, contrary to early reports, will not leave Paris before Tuesday.

They spent the day at Le Bourget Airdrome testing their planes and getting their material in readiness. The French Government plans a gala send-off for them. In the meantime on the home front the Government has determined to pursue and squelch tho Communist propaganda behind the lines with all forces available. Two Communists expelled from Morocco were arrested today at Bordeaux, and it is understood the authorities will proceed energetically against the Defentlsts early next week. President Doumergue at Ram-boulilet this afternoon received a group of young Moroccans who were educated In the French schools in the protectorate and the Moroccan Military Academy.

Revelations of police corruption Jn connection- with gambling houses on a scale unefaualed since the days of the Rosenthal murder were made by Corporation Counsel Nicholson in Manhattan Supreme Court yesterday In opposing application for an Injunction to restrain the police from raiding or otherwise interfering with the Steamer Club, 83 2d Manhattan. The club has many Brooklyn members and several of its officers are Brooklyn business men. In exposing what he called the a Vi Ktor aramhliniz iMODd i w.w ry a- houses to circumvent the police, Mr.

Nicholson flatly accused the steamer Club of bribing three members of the Police Special Servloe D.lvlsion to stage a fake raid for the express purpose of going to court and obtaining an Injunction which would prevent a genuine raid. Moreover, the. Corporation Counsel declared In his brief to the Court, no less than four such applications for injunctions are now pending, with no other purpose, he charged, than to sell the injunction to the highest bidder a gambler who could then conduct his house without molestation from the police. Case Is Called "these plaintiffs," he declared, "come Into court with unclean hands with bribes In them." The present case the Corporation Counsel called "the most rotten of them all;" and said that he was ashamed to confess the bribery of three members of the Police Depart' ment. Justice Aaron J.

Levy said: "The papers upon this motion pre nt a most extraordinary situation. I agree with the Corporation Coun set that the present ease la the most rotten of them and I am not astonished that be Is 'aahanwdVof tbe confession he Is obliged to make.

The club was raided, on June (, by the three members of the Special Service division, whose names were not -made public. An affidavit by Peputy Police Inspector Canille C. Pierne says: "On that very day it had been arranged by a well-known gambler with some men from the Special Service division that a fake raid should take place, and that these policemen were to be well paid for their share In same, as It would be used as a basis by the gambler for an Injunction proceeding against the police. "At p.m. that day, In company with Lieutenant Smythe and Sergeant Griff, I proceeded to the vicinity of 88 2d ave.

to watch what would happen. At about 2:45 three members of the Special Service division entered the premises and went upstairs.
