PAKIS, Oct. The wedding of William B. Leeds to Princess Xenia of Russia, which took place In Paris this afternoon, was a strange mixture of the, past and the present. The cliarmlng young Princess, a descendant of the Russian royal family whose ancestors for generations ruled a vast country of millions of subjects, today an exile driven from home by the revolution and her father shot by the Bolnhevlki. was united to the son of the American tlnplate king." Everything her family stood for was past history and ancient tradition, while he repre-aonted modern times and the practical progress of the future.

The wadding consisted of two religious celebrations. The first Was held In the American Church of the Holy Trinity and the second in the Russian Church. The simple marriagx" service In the Apicrican church at 2:30 oclock did not last very long. at 3 o'clock aharp the young couple arrived for the ceremony at the Russian church, which was held with alt the pomp of Orthodox rites. The brid-s wearing white brocade dress and long train oorne Prince Peter and Princess Eugenie, son and daughter of Princess Oeorge of Greece, a -imple 'whlt-j veil and a wreath of orange blossoms, was led up the aisle by the bridegroom, wearing an afternoon coat and a white fluwer in his buttonhole, to a snvill altar In th.

There was something almost pathetic in the sight of these people born to rule, with nothing reft rule today, as they stood there attending a ceremony which broke a tradition for generations dear to them that a prtncias of a reigning houae can only wed one of royal blood. The service was performed by priests dressed In gorgeous gold" from heaL to foot, to the continual accompaniment of sonorous deep-voiced chanting and the clear voicea of the boy rhorlsters.

PERSHING CANCELS VISIT TO LONDON Will Designate Another Officer to Decorate Unknown Soldier's Grave in Abbey. HONOR GUARD QUITS PARIS American Officials in French Capital Mystified Over British Government's Silence. PARIS. Oct. 9 (Associated Press.

General Pershing will not go to London to lay the Congressional Medal on the tomb of the British unknown soldier in Westminster Abbey, and If the cere mony is held another American officer will be designated to represent the Cnlted States. This announcement came tonight from a most authoritative source. Lack of time available for the trip between now ami Oct. 20, when GeneraJ Pershing sails for home, is the official explanation for his decision to abandon his visit to England. It tn learned, however, that failure of the British War Office either to fix a date for th ceremony or, until lata yesterday, to give any explanation for not replying to repeated inquiries from the American Embassy officials.

Is the chief reason for General Pershing's decision. neral Pershing came to Europe of the purpose of laying the Congressional Medal on the tomba of the French and British Unknown Soldiers. The Washington Government so lnfttmd the British Government early in August, and again when he sailed. So far as can be learned no answer was received to either communication, which asked that a date be fixed for the ceremony and that the General be informed. Since his arrival In 1'arla further inquiries have been made at the British Foreign Office through the medium of the American Knihassies In London and Paris.

One of these inquiries developed the explanation that such ceremonies usually took a long time to art ante. The specially trained battalion from the American forces on the Rhine, which acted as a guard of honor at the Pails ceremony and was to have proceeded to London, returned to Cobienx this afternoon by special train after having ben held a week in Paris awaitinff word from the British Foreign Office. it Is known that American officials In as well as General Pershlngr and his party, have been mystified ttie silence of the British Government, and the matter has caused much embarrassment to the General. He ha been besieged with Invitations to dinners and official functions, and the uncertainty of the London arrangements made It difficult to reply to many of Some of the military' men have ad-v the explanation that the rule permitting British officers ami men te accept foreign decorations might be the cause of the situation. TJiej- further uvestel that the British might want to arrange to confer a decoration similar in Importance tin America's Unknown Soldier before accepting th Congressional Medal.

On the other hand, it ia pointed out thaf the fact that the medal -was conferred by an act of Cocgreas on behalf of the American people should place the decoration In a special category where ordlnarv rules and prece dents would not apply. American offlciata in Paris arc much concerned over tne matter, and fearf are expressed that an unfriendly Interpretation jnight be placed on the ine cident unless a full explanation is made of the delay and the ceremony held as soon as It can be arranged. General Perahlnfc would not comment on thla subject, today. i rVrehiag Waa Dm Here by 3fv. 1.

HART SAVED PARTY i FROM DRY SCANDAL Republican Leaders Had Feared the Effect of Possible Disclosures About Subordinates.

RESIGNATION A WAY OUT Alleged Collusion Between Boot-leggers and Politicians Stopped Former Director Not Involved. The resignation of Judge Harold L. Hart Of Binghamton as Federal Prohibition Director for New York State', last Tuesday In Washington, was an excellent way out of what threatened to develop into a paity scandal, according to the opinion expressed last night by several prominent Republicans who have been In touch with the situation which finally led to Jutige Hart'a retirement- Although, no reflection waa tna 'upon Judge Hart personally.

Judge Hart took the office last May. succeeding Charles R. O'Connor, a Democrat, during whose term a number of permit scandals occurred, although nothing was discovered to reflect upon iiim personally. It Was said last night by a person who had been in touch with the situation that! the bootlegging machinery which existed during the administration of Mr. O'Connor, the operators of which were mostly Democrats, was continued during the administration of Judge Hart, and that the only difference was that the place of payment tor permits acd the payee were changed.

The small group of Republicans waa added the Democratic booilgglngv organisation, it waa said. 'and Insisted upon the larger share of the apoiia. Up-State DemocratM who had been participating withdrew, it waa said, and the Tammany men remalniog were satisfied with the arrangement, aa otherwise they would not have been able to obtain any permits for liquor at all. It also was said that th price for obtaining permita became as standardised aa th price of collars, although con-aiderably higher.
