In KERMIT ROOSEVELT GROOM The Colonel Was On Hand To Wit ness The Impressive Ceremony. (Special to the Journal.) MADRID, June 11. In the presence of a brilliant throng with the uniforms of diplomatists and army and navy officers forming an attractive contrast with the elaborate gowns and jewels of the women. Miss Belle Wyatt Willard, daughter of Mr. Joseph E. Williard, the American Ambassador to Spain, and Mrs. Willard, today became the wife of Kermit Roosevelt by a religious cere mony at the chapel of the British Em bassy. Madrid was much Interested in to day's ceremonies and crowds thronged the streets through which the carriages with the bridal party passed. Colonel Roosevelt, father of the bridegroom, was a center of interest. The favor which King Alfonso and Queen Victoria have showered so liberally on the young couple was mirrored apparently in the sentiments of the multitude. There was activity about the Ameri can Embassy at an early hour today. The hour of noon approached automo biles and gala carriages drew up at the Ambassador's house. A dense mass of people thronged the nearby streets when the occupants of the carriages took their places. Prominent in the procession at the church door was the highly decorated court equipage which brought the dig nitary who served as the representative of the Spanish Monarchs at the wedding. The chapel, the scene of the wedding is in a pavilion which is only one of sev eral buildings in the extensive embassy grounds. Promptly on the stroke of high nooil the bride entered the chapel leaning on the arm of her father. She wore a dress of ivory satin and tulle. There was a court train of considerable length. Her veil was of tulle and lace and her orange blossoms were also intervened with rare lace. Following her came the maid of honor, Miss Mary Elizabeth Willard, the sis ter of the bride. She wore white satin with a tunic of exquisite pale blue tulle The bridesmaids were clad in dresses of white tulle, with tunics. They were Her Serene Highness, the Princess of Thurn and Taxis, Miss Katherine Page, daughter of Walter Hines Page, Ameri can Ambassador 111 London: .Made moiselle Gilone cle Veneurs de Tillieres and Miss Virginia Christian, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew H. Christian, of Richmond, Va. They carried bo quets of yellow orchids and wore lace with touches of yellow and yellow rib bons tied under the chin. Many remarked the beauty of the bride. She is pretty, with a piquant charm of feature. Her clear blond com plexion was heightened a trifle by the excitement of the occasion, and she smiled slightly as she saw her tall bride groom approaching to meet her at the altar. Mr. Roosevelt was dressed in conventional garb. The Rev. Dr. Samuel N. Watson, pas tor of the American protestant Episco pal Church in Paris, officiated. He was assisted by the Rev. Herbert Brown, chaplain of the British Embassy in Madrid. . . The, full service of the Protestant Episcopal Church was used. Both par ties made their replies to the questions' of the clergyman in a clear, firm voice, which could be heard in every part of the room.

EDWARD BOWDEN THE DRIVER Both He And Travelling Salesman Were Horribly Mangled Machine Struck Tree Travelling at a speed estimated at between thirty and forty miles an hour, a motorcycle driven by Edward Bowden and on the rear seat of which was George Cabell of Danville, Va., a representative of the Liggett Myers Tobacco Company, late yesterday af ternoon crashed into a tree on East Front street between Change and Union streets, injuring its occupants so badly that but little hope is enter tained for the recovery of either. Mr. Bowden, who owns and conducts the Hygeia cafe on Middle street had taken his machine out for a spin and had invited Cabell to accompany him. They had ridden around several streets and at last went down on East Front street where the bitulithic pavement affords an excellent speedway. There, according to the version of several persons who witnessed the accident. Mr. Bowden speeded up the motor and was covering the ground at a rapid rate. The Accident Just at the corner of Change street, East Front street takes a decided curve and only a few months aeo Forrest Lee of Bridgeton lost control of his motorcycle at that point and was dashed to death against a tree. Upon reaching that point Mr. Bowden either lost control of the machine or the handle bars failed to properly respond to hU effort to turn and the machine and its occupants were dashed against a large tree. Travelling with such force the men's bodies must have struck the tre a frightful blow, and in fact their injuries prove this to have been tha case. Both were knocked unconscious by the impact and persons who rushed to their rescue thought that both had i.oen killed killed outright. News of the accident spread quickly and in less than five minutes a number of physi cians and a crowd os scr.-val hundred spectators werj on the scene. It was at once s?en that both victims were badly hurt ai d even e ffort was made to get them to Fairviiw hospital as quickly as possible. Mr. Bowden's Injuries. Mr. Bowden was the first one taken to the hospital. There he was placed on an operating table and examination" of his injuries made. It was found that his jaw was broken in three places That his collar b ne was br ken, that his right leg was injured and that the top part of his head was badly hurt. However, it is not believed tht therj is any concussion of the brain and the attending physicians say that thy hold out some hope for his recovery unless complications set in. The Other Victim So badly injured was Mr. Cabell, who was riding on the rear seat of the automobile, that some little time elap sed before he reached the hospital. Upon examination it was found that his right leg was broken, his head seriously injured, and in fact that he was very badly hurt. While there is a possibility that he will survive, he stands but little chance of recovery. However, at a late hour last night he was alive. Fair Warning Time and again hive motorcycle riders been warned against attempting to make that particular turn on East Front street for it has been demonstra ted that the wheels of a light machine will not "bite'.', into the bitulithic pavement when going at a rapid: speed and there is always danger of. an acci dent. This is the second serious acci dent to occur at that' point but it will r by' no means be the last if motorists continue to disregard all Warnings.!'
