The commission’s conclusions may be ‘summed up this way: Losses to New Haven stockholders for the acts of their directors will range from $60,000,000 to $90,000,000. Suits to recover the money should lie in some cases. Tramesactions Broke Law.

After shooting and killing a dog sn pected of having rabies, at 8:30 a. m. Monday, Policeman Womack reported n| the Dayton street station that he used only one bullet. This about establishes a police record for canine marksman.- ship. In most cases the score on an official dog shooting is kept as in a golf game, each shot being entered-up as a stroke. Bogey for killing a dog on the run is somewhere around 16 strokes over 32 short course, and in some games the policeman has been known to lay down his iron and finish the game and the dog with his mashie, sometimes called a club. The dog which enabled Womack to establish a new record was owned by Frank Kettenacker of 2697A Olive street. While out for a walk with Kettenacher Monday the dog suddenly snapped at several passersby. Womack was called. The dog attempted to escape’ arrest by running through the side yard of 2726 Lucas avenue, when a bullet from Wormack’s revolver pierced his heart. PAYS STRANGER $65 FOR HORSE, NOW IT’S MISSING Purchaser Refuses to Give Ani- mal to Second Stranger and It Disappears. John Schmitt of 3859 South Broadway told the police a sad tale Monday. Two weeks ago he purchased for $65 a horse from a man whom he met at Broadway and Keokuk street. He paid cash and took a bill of sale. Last Thursday a man went to Schmitt’s house and wanted to know if Schmitt had pur- chased a horse. When Schmitt informed him he had the man said “now, you’ve got your foot in it.” The man returned later accompanied They looked at Schmitt’s horse and the second man declared it had been stolen from his farm at Kimmswick, Mo., and demanded its re- turn. Schmitt refused to part with the horse unless the men put up the $65 he had paid for it. They went away and an hour later the horse disappeared from Schmitt’s stable. FIFTH PLAGUE CASE IS FOUND IN NEW ORLEANS Four Thousand Rats Examined Bacteriologically Without Discovering Infected One. NEW ORLEANS, July 13.—An- Other case of bubonic plague, the fifth discovered here since the disease appear- ed here two weeks ago, was founi yesterday. Dr. W. C. Rucker, assistant Surgeon-General of the United States Health Service, was called in to diag- nose the case of a negro woman who became ill Thursday and found a typi- cal bubonic plague case. The woman was employed in a restaurant within two blocks of where the first case was found. The fathe- of the woman also em- ployed at the restaurant, said that he head killed two rats in the establishment which appeared to be suffering. He dis- posed of both of the rats, which health officials have not found. The number of rats bacteriologically examined here since the first plague case is .pproximately four thousand. No infected rat has been found. MEN BATHERS FENCED OFF CHICAGO, July 183—The system o0?” sex separation was put in operation to- ‘day at Chicago’s principal municipal bathing beach. A fence built out into the water as far as women were al- lowed to go was guarded by police ro see that men did not pass it. Protests of husbands and wives were Cisregarded. Complaints that womer, had been annoyed were said to have caused the innovation.

BERRY IN A WINDSTORM Goodyear Will Be One of Three United States Entrants in International Event. E. S. Cole of St. Louis, pilot of the balloon San Francisco 1915, whose where- abouts were unknown for % hours after the seven other contestants in the na- tional balloon race had been heard from, reported, in a message which reached St. Louis at 1 p. m. Monday, that he landed at 10 a. m. Sunday near McLeansboro, Ill., about 115 miles south- east of St. Louis. This showed the Goodyear of Akron, O., piloted by R. A. D. Preston, with M. D. Tremelin as aid, to be the winner of the contest. The Goodyear landed Sunday at Constance, Ky., near the Ohio river and %0 miles east of St. Louis. The six others landed in Illinois and Indiana. All started from 8t. Louis Saturday evening. Crossed River Sunday. Cole’s telegraphic report showed that he had no unusual adventures, but sim- ply took his time about wiring in. He said the San Francisco drifted west from St. Louis and made a circle of the city and suburbs, crossing the Missis- sippi near the Chain of Rocks at 3 a. m. Sunday. The intense heat of Saturday evening and Sunday tended to exhaust the gas and cut all flights comparatively short Pilot Preston of the Goodyear wil) be tne third representative on the ('nit- ed States team in the International Bal- loon race from Kansas City Oct 6 His teammates are Ralph Upson, also of Akron, and Ctp.

He said the Kan- sas City struck a treetop in landing, and that he and his aid, W. F. Com- stock, were hurled 50 feet to the ground in the basket of their balloon. Com- stock was not hurt. The America III, with Dr. Jerome Kingsbury of New York as pilot and Cc. L. Wynne as aid, made its landing at Princeton, Ind., 163 miles by rail from Sst. Louis, at 11:10 a. m. Sunday. Dr. Kingsbury said he used up a large part of his ballast in getting away from the still air overhanging St. Louis. He passed back and forth over the city four times before getting a current that would take him east. The Miss Sofia, which William F. Ass- mann of St. Louis piloted, taking no aid, was reported down at Flat Rock, IIl., about 180 miles east of St. Louis, and near the Illinois-Indiana line. The Uncle Sam, with Paul McCullough of 8t. Louis as pilot, and William H. Trefts of St.. Louis as aid, landed near Lewis, in Western Indiana, near the Illinois line, and about 18 miles from St. Louis. Because of the coldness of the upper air in which they flew, Trefts was overcome by the heat after they had landed. The Pennsylvania, with A. T. Ather- holt of Philadelphia as pilot, landed near Rockville, Ind., about 175 miles from St. Louis, at 9:15 Sunday morning, ballast having given out. Philip Sharp- les accompanied Atherholt. The Aero Club of St. Louis, piloted by John Berry of St. Louis, landed on the banks of the Wabash, near Terre Haute, Ind., 150 miles from St. Louis.

FILM PARENTS DEMAND Ball Glove Is Requested in Re- turn Claim and Case ls Head- ed for Police Court. A “September Morn” photograph of 3 year-old Helen Rolfes of 5523 Old Man- chester road, taken last May by Mrs. Alvina Leismeister, who lives across the street at number 5628, has resulted in a mid-July feud between the Rolfes and Leismeister families, and will probably take them all into police court on some warm forenoon in August. All the dwellers around Old Manches- ter road and Reber place are interested in the controversy, and Helen's parents, Charles A. Rolfes and his wife, were watched by many pairs of eyes as they left cheir home Monday morning, saying they would call on the City Attorney and ask for a summons against their neigubors, Anthony Lelismeister and wife. The charge will be disturbing the peace, they said. ‘Were Close Friends. Mrs. Leismeister is 22 years old, and has lived all her life in her present residence. Many of the neighbors still speak of her as “Miss Tootsie,’’ the name by which they knew her when she was Miss Steiner. Mrs. Rolfes was one of her best friends, and the younger Rolfes children, Jeanette, 10 years old, and little Helen, were in the Leis- meister house almost as much as they were in their own. Mrs. Leismeister, who has a smal! film camera, photographed the Rolfes chil- dren in several] poses, and one day last May the children went home and told their parents that she had posed little Helen as ‘‘September Morn” on the rear step of her home. Mrs. Rolfes’ mother, Mrs. Ellen Fromm of 5327 Arsenal street, was at the house, and she objected to the idea of having such a photograph made. Be- cause of her attitude, Mrs. Rolfes went to see. Mrse..Leismeister. She said she demanded that the film be destroyed and that Mra. Leiemeister replied she would do no such thing. Film Destroyed. Mrs. Leismeister says the mother was the one who suggested the picture and that she first asked for a print of the picture and when this was not given to her, demanded that the film be de- stroyed. Mrs. Leismeister says she de- stroyed the film, and that no copy of the picture was ever made. The only .result of the quarrel at the time was that the visits of the Rolfes children to the Leismeister home ceased. But Sunday Leismeister called on Rolfes for the return of a baseball glove which he said he loaned to Rolfes’ two sons ast summer. He did not get the glove, and the two men had an outdoor quar- rel which raised the temperature of the neighborhood several degrees. By means of the taunts and recrim- inations hurled back and forth in this quarrei, the neighbors learned for the first time of the “September Morn” in- cideat. A policeman was called, but said he had not seen any disturbance and that a. summons would be about the thing. oe FAIR TONIGHT AND COOLER TOMORROW THE THMPERATURES. 32 Ope Oho | hal hee al- Weenendunta Temperatures.

Drivers’ Demands Increased Delivery Cost; Union Is Recognized. An average increase of 20 per cent in the price of ice to residence con- sumers was put in effect Monday by the Polar Wave and Merchants’ ice companies. The increase was an- nounced to be the result of granting increases in the wages of ice wagon drivers and helpers who have been en strike recently, or who threatened to strike unless given the increase. The residence customers of _ the Polar Wave Co. will now pay a mini- mum of 80 cents per 100 pounds, and consumers purchasing ice with 6-ceni tickets will pay a rate of 40 cents per 100 pounds, instead of 380 cents as before. The Merchants’ Ice and Coal Co. will charge all residence consumers at a rate of 30 cents per 100 pounds, irrespective of quantity used daily, 12% Pounds for 5 Cents, The Polar Wave has been selling ice at 16 pounds for five cents. The rew schedule is 12% pounds for: five cents. Books for 1000 pounds of ice, that sold for $4, will continue to sell at that price. Books for 2000 pounds that sold for $5.30 will cost $6, and books for 5000 pounds that sold for $12.50, will sell for $15. The user Of 2000-pound books formerly en- joyed a rate of 274% cents per 100 pounds, and those who bought 5000-pound books were paying a rate of 25 cents per 100, A rate of 3 cents will be paid under the new schedule for any kind of book. Union’s Demands Granted. John Muckermann, an official of the Polar Wave company, told a re- porter that the company had signed a contract with the drivers and help- ers Saturday, agreeing to recornize the wnleéf and pay the union acale. The drivers held a finai me.fing Fri- day night which lasted until 8 a. Wii., at which they decided to go on strike unless the union demands were con- ceded. The company therefore agreed to employ only union men on the wagons and pay them the _ scale, which is $17 a week for drivers and $15 for helpers. Muckermann said the raise in resi- dence ice rates was made necessary by the increase in wages. The drivers had been receiving $15 a week until a few weeks ago, when the company volun- tarily increased many of them to §17 3 week in anticipation of the union de mands, he said.. Helpers had been paii $12 a week. Muckermann said there would be no further increases ir ice rates unless it was found that the increased cost of delivery made it necessary. Union organizers were trying to or- ganize the Polar Wave men when Charles W.. Whitelaw, president of the company, had the employes called to- gether on July 1 to vote by secret bal- lot whether they preferred to join the union or remain independent, announc- ing that the men could continue at work in either case. The result of the vote was a decision not to unionize by 186 to 57. Union or- ganizers declared the men were coerced by the company and that the vote diu not represent their real sentiments. Meetings of the employes were held aft- erward and they decided to unionize: Explains the Increase. An official of the Merchants’ Ice and Fuel Co. told a reporter that the com- pany had increased its rates to residence consumers from 2% and 27% cents per 100 pounds to 30 cents. He said the cus- tomers who had been paying 30 cents per 100 pounds would not pay any mor? under the new rate. When aSked if an: increase was contemplated on ice fur nished to commercial users, he -aid none had been decided upon, but an increase might be announced if it was found necessary to compensate the company for the wage increases given drivers and helpers. The demand of the drivers’ and help- fers’ union to all companies was $17 per week for ordinary drivers and $19 per week for drivers of three-horse wagons, and $15 and $16 per week for helpers This was a general increase of from 31 to $3. A 12-hour day and an hour for lunch was also stipulated by the strik- ers. WOMAN STABS MONK. WHO IS CZAR’S FRIEND ST. PETERSBURG, July 13.—Details reached here today in a dispatch to the Courier of a probably fatal attack on the Mystic Lay monk, Gregory Rasputin, whose influence over the Emperor is said to be very great. Rasputin, who has been one of the inost prominent figures in Russia in re- cent years, was visiting his native vil- lage, Pokrovsky, in the Province of Tobolsk, Siberia, when a woman, & stranger to the locality, approached him pretending to be a beggar. After accost- ing him she stabbed him in the abdomen with a long military dirk. The assailant was arrested and con- fessed she had waited two weeks for the opportunity. She said she had de- vided to kill the monk because he was @ false prophet and was in Russia astray. > ee el } Girl Robbed on Way to Bank _ With Grocery Firm’s Money s =” SPARKS FLY F 7 BUDY AS LIVE WIRE Traction Company Lineman Dies Soon After He Is Taken to Ground at Edwardsville. Niel Barnett, 22 years old, died Mon- day, a few minutes after a fellow work man rescued him from the top of a McKinley Traction System pole at Ed- wardsville, Ill., where he came in con- tact with a high-tension wire carrying a current of 2300 voltage, which produced sparks from. his body. 2 D. C. McBryan, foreman of the party with which Barnett was working, saw the sparks fly from Barnett. Climbing the pole, he lowered Barnett to the ground with a rope which Barnett had used to fasten himself securely to a cross arm of the pole. Barnett, who was repairing signal wires on the pole, is said to have touched the high-tension wires several times without receiving a shock. When he established a circuit by touching a signal wire at the same time, the 2300 volts passed through his body. He did not regain consciousness. He lived at Staunton, Il. The accident occurred at the Hillsboro avenue crossing of the Litchfield @& Madison Railroad. ‘GIRL’S SCREAMS ROUT DOWNTOWN ROBBERS She Thought Man Standing Out- side Store Was Burglar and Called Out for Police. The screams of Rosa Ludwig of 615 Morgan street prevented a safe robrery at the Sixth street branch of the Kro- ger Stores and Bakery Co., 811 North Sixth street, about 1 a. m. Monday. Miss Ludwig, accompanied by Harry Elliott of 1000 North Broadway and John Matthews of 613 Morgan street, was re- turning home from a river excursion and in passing the Kroger store she noticed the antics of a man who was nervously peering up and down the street “T’ll bet he’s a burgilar,’’ said Miss Ludwig, and before her companions could restrain her she was calling loud- ly for police. Three men darted from the store and, joining the man on the sidewalk, ran away. j Policemen responding to Miss Ludwig's cries found the combination. on the com- pany’s sufe battered and a meat cleaver which had been used in an effort. to open the strong box lying nearby.

ILLS MAN ON POLE: ERC FLIES BETTER WITH NEW BLADES AND FINS Lieut. Porte Has Hope That Air- ship Will Yet Meet Over- Ocean Requirements. By Lieut. John Cyril Porte, R. N. Copyright. (All Rights Reserved in the United States and Canada.) (Lieut. Porte will write exclusively for the Post-Dispatch and New ¥ork World the story of his flight across’ the Atlantic.) HAMMONDSPORT, N. Y., July 13.— Experiments made Sunday with a new combination of submerged’ hydroplanes and fins were more encouraging in their result than any of the past fortnight. The America came to the surface quickly without porpoising or plowing the water like a ferryboat, planed esat- isfactorily and got into the air with a load of about 1000 pounds. Mr. Curtiss, the pulider, took — the Rodman Wanamaker alr boat out after a readjustment of the blades and Lieut. John H.' Towers took George Hallett’s place aS assistant pilot and demon- strated that he could. be a. first-class mechanic by cranking the two engines while Mr. Curtiss was at the wheel. Mr. Chase, a hydroplane expert, at the invitation of Mr. Curtiss and myself, made the trip to observe the action of the blades and make suggestions for further improvements. Fin Knocked Lo0Ose. After the frst flight further flights were made to get the boat out of the water. These were stopped abruptly by one of the fins being knocked loose by collision with a floating timber. It being Sunday and the Curtiss workmen being exhausted by the day-and-night labor of the past three weeks, further work was suspended until mornirg. The experiments set us, we hope, on the right track; at any rate, the con- census of opinion here is that we are probably nearer a solution than we have been before. A few days ought to de- termine whether the America can be made, with modifications, to lift the transatlantic load out of the water, or whether radical change of plane must be adopted, such, for instance, as the re- bullding of the hull. Capt. Osborne Leaves. Capt. Creagh Osborne has left for New York, where he will await the shipment of the America to Newfound- land. I expressly wish to get the air- boat ready to ship North not later than thé twenty-fifth, because Capt. Os- borne’s leave from the British Admiralty is limited. . Next to his friendship and skill in adjusting the compass, I value the Cap- tain’s advice as to meteorlogical con- ditions, so I hope he can be at St. John's. Capt.

It stated that the had tired of life and had put her sister out of the way, was going to San Francisco to kill her brother, Mar- shal Nelms, and then intended to ‘feed er own body to the fishes.”’ Innes denies ever having negotiated Mexican investments and ridicules the “The last time I heard from Mrs. Den- nis was about the middle of 1913,” says Innes, Innes admits, however, that he and the wife with whom he is now living returned to Portland on July 5, “after a tour through Texas and California.” Got a Divorce in Nevada. A statement in Portland by the wom- an now claiming to be Innes’ wife that she met and married him in Hongkong, China, in 1908, while he was engaged in the practice of law in the Philippines, is clouded by the fact that the records Nev., shows that Innes obtained a de- cree of divorce on June 6, 1910, from “Viola A. Innes.” He testified he was married in New York oa Oct. 14, 1903. Mrs. Clarice Innis told the Post-wis- patch reporter today that she had never been served with “he papers in any action for divorce. The explanation of Innes’ marriage and divorce is that while he was in the Philippines he heard that Mrs. Clarice Sickles Innes was dead, whereupon he married the woman with whom he is now living. Subsequently, he learned that it was not his wife who died, but his sister. He then went to Carson City, where a divorce against the New York wife was obtained. Mrs. Dennis was a resident of Carson City for eight montns thereafter, and when she finally departed with the boy supposed to be her son, the present wife nd twin babies arrived in Carson City. Innes at the time was Assistant United States Attorney in Nevada. He obtained @ month’s leave of absence last Decem- ber and went to Portland, where he has s cern is for the safety of + child,”’ sald Mrs. Innes today. “For he so cruelly Dp that I have h | form of a short s from Innes, soon after he left New Innes did not see Mrs. Eloise Dennis nor any member of her m@py on that trip or receive any com- ication from her. and knows absv- be ns e sutiitnenlaans aie lutely nothing concerning her where- abouts. “‘He never had any business or other transactions with Mrs. Dennis and never received any money from her except in relation to and growing out of her di- vorce case. Mr, Innes has not seen Mrs. Dennis since she left Carson City, : . } _ | Nev., about August, 1912, after she had obtained a divorce there and never at any time saw her mother or sisters or other members of the family. “While Mr. and Mrs. Innes were in Atlanta, Mr. Innes did not see or visit Mrs. Dennis or any memb>r of her fam- ily. Indeed, he understood that Mrs. Dennis lived in Virginia some distance from Atlanta. At the time Mrs. Innes Was quite ill and the whole time was occupied in waiting on her. A report has appeared that Mr. Innes denied ever having been in Atlanta. Mr. Innes did not make that statement, but in answer to a telephone inquiry as to whether he was in Atlanta in June of this year, he answered no, which is probably the basis of that report. “On the way from San Antonio to Portland, Mr. and Mrs. Innes did not stop in San Francisco, but came up by way of Fresno. They left Los Angeles the evening of July 2, arriving at Sacra- mento on the third, where they stopped at the Capitol Hotel over night. They left Sacramento by way of Davis on July 4 on the Shasta Limited for Port- land. “The suggestion was Mrs. Innes had something to do with the note claiming to have been written by Mrs. Dennis about July 3, is too absurd to: merit notice, as Mr. Innes did not anc could not have had anything to do therewith, but to set the matter at rest Mr. In- nes emphatically denies the same.” Earlier Innes said: “I don’t know anything about an al- leged 10-year-old son in New York. I was not in San Francisco July 8 but I was in Los Angeles July 2 and in Sacramento July 4. I did not get any money from Mrs. Dennis, except what she paid me for my services in secur- ing her divorce. I have not seen her since I acted as her attorney in Carson City.” DRINKS SOLUTION OF MERCURY BY MISTAKE Wife of Trust Company Teller Says Poison Was in Glass Near Glass of Ice Water. Mrs. Daniel McCarthy of 8210 Kos- suth avenue, wife of a receiving teller for the Guaranty Trust Co., drank a solution of bichloride of mercury Sun- day in her home. She was taken to the city hospital, where physicians said Monday the outcome of the treat- ment could not be determined for ‘sev- eral days.

ARMY MAY BE KEPT OUT Nations Likely to Oppose Car- ranza Plan and Insist on Peaceful Occupation. LONDON,: July 13.—The manager of the Mexican Railways cabled today that Provisional President Huerta’s Govern- ment had ordered him to reconstruct the portion of the line near Vera Cruz, which was destroyed by the Mexican Federal troops when the city of Vera Cruz was occupied by the Americans. WASHINGTON, July 13.—The City of Mexico was looked.to today as the place where the next big scene in the Mexican situation would be staged. With Huerta reported about to quit and turn over the office to his new For- eign Minister, Francisco Carbajal, hope was expressed that a way might be found peacefully to transfer the Gov- ernment to the Constitutionalists and avert military conquest of the Capitol by their triumphant forces. Carranza has announced his unwilling- ness to deal with Carbajal, regarding him as the creation of Huerta, Never- theless, it has been suggested that par- leys for the transition of power might take place if Carbajal appeared in the role of representative of a faction, rath- er than as provisional head of a gov- ernment which the Constitutionalists refuse to recognize. Carranza, it was declared, intended to follow the “plan of Guadalupe,” which provides for mili- tary occupation of the capital. , Nations May Oppose Plan. However, several European and South American nations, it was said, might frown on such a course. They regard with apprehension the possibility of fighting in Mexico City and forceful as- sumption of power without some pre- vious guarantee to the populace. It has been strongly intimated that iff Car- ranza, after Huerta’s elimination, shoul insisit upon his original program, dis- approval would be manifested by sev- eral nations. They might refuse to recognize the Constitutionalist leader. unless he showed a disposition to give some quarter. Indications were not lacking, however, that a way might be found for the transfer of power without much further fighting. The impression prevailed wide- ly in Washington that hostilities in Mexico were near an end. All hope for any parley between rep- resentatives of Huerta who took part in the Niagara proceeding and the Con- stitutionalists upon the basis proposed by the American envoys practically has been abandoned. Carranza has not formally replied to the mediators’ pro- posals, but official messages from his headquarters at Saltillo have indicated what his reply would be. Carranza was quoted as saying the only thing he would accept would be the surrender of Huerta and his army. Huerta Expected to Fiee. Gen. Huerta, it is believed, might flee some day this week. Automatically the new Foreign Minister, Francisco Car- bajal, will assume the role of Provi- sional President. Carbajal is a man of law. He is less than 680 years old. Of an academic temperament, he never has served in the army. He came into international prominence as the envoy of Diaz at the Juarez peace conference in 1911 after the Madero revolution. He is said to be of a conciliatory disposition, anxious for the restoration of order and not likely to elect to resist with an army the approach of the Constitutionalists.

He was later released on bond. The ar- rest of Ehret occurred after he had served Joseph Busch of 27% South Seventh street a bottle of beer for which Busch gave two chips bearing the name of the Tammany Club. The police say Ehret was formerly bartender at the Ninth Ward Democratic Club, 2627 South Broadway.

He didn’t explain for whom he was acting. The evidence had been found, he said, and he suggested that if Mr. Bryant was to avail himself of the ‘startling reports” he had but to call wpon Attorney Bradbury. The meeting was in Chicago. The amazed Bryant hastened to New York and saw Brad- bury, with the result that divorce pro- ceedings were bought. The recorder found for the plaintiff, but the proceed- ings were not passed upon by Justice Page. Not many weeks after Gov. Brewer had watched Miss Blood’s performance at Jackson, Sample saw Miss Blood ir. San Francisco, where he informed her that if she wished to sever the bonds tying her to her husband he knew how she could do it. Bradbury had all the needed evidence, he said, and by seeing him the whole matter could be quickly disposed of. Miss Blood had just brougnt a svit ir Louisville, Ky., charging abandonment. She withdrew it, saw Bradbury and in- stituted the present action. April 80, which was 20 days before Sample approached Bryant with the in- formation on which the Bryant suit was brought, a young man who said he was Norman F.. Boyesen, nephew of Hjalmar Hjorth Boyesen, the famous Norwegian author, appeared in Indianapolis, Ind., where Mr. Davis, supported by Miss Power, was playing in “The Kingdom of Destiny.’’ Sample, who turned out to be a close friend of Boyesen, arrived at the same time. Boyesen Entertains Actors. Boyesen attended a performance of ‘The Kingdom of Destiny” and was ‘‘so puzzled by its psychology” that he sought an audience with its author and star. So pleased was Boyesen with the actor that he invited him, Miss Power and other members of the company to a luncheon at the Hotel Claypool, where he introduced them to his good friend Sample, whom ‘“‘he had been fortunate enough to run across.”’ Sample immediately took a strong lik- ing to Davis. In fact, he thought so much of him that when the troupe left town he spent four weeks in the cities they visited and returned to Chicago with them. Here Davis suspected all was not right and refused to have fur- ther to do with the detective. From the time the “man of mystery” began to hunt for evidence which would win di- vorces for Miss Blood and Bryant, hard- ly a week has not passed that he has not seen the actress and conferred with her. Sample has bobbed up in the most un- expected places and at most unexpected times. In July last year he jumped from New York to Los Angeles, Cal., where Miss Blood was playing a two weeks’ engagement. Then to Frisco, Portlana and back to Frisco. Sample, who had been fh close touch with Mrs. Davis for several weeks, sud- denly shifted his attention to Davis While the actress continued her tour northward he followed southward to Oakland and thence to Los Angeles. There he dropped him and vanished. In the meantime, Miss Blood proceeded to Duluth, where she closed her season Returning to New York, the actress went to the McAlpine Hotel, where she remained while she superintended th» 1¥ |building of a country home at Great - |Neck, L. I. This is a handsome $20,- 900 structure on Gateway Drive, and is + lelaborately furnished.

She is now in Sample Eludes Referee. Efforts to get Sample on the stand be- fore the Referee failing repeatedly, the lawyer, Bradbury, made a statement for ne ‘court record in which he said: 5 | I ee, I have said, Mr. Sample. re- ferred these people to me in both the Blood case and the Bryant case. He told me little about the cases ex- cept that they were theatrical people and that they were on this trip; and that he had asked some of the mem- bers of the troupe to come and see me. “IT don’t know how much he knows about the case. I really don’t know. I do know that he intimated to me, or said in effect, that he had become interested in this matter because he was interested with the Governor of Mississippi, and that Davis and the Governor of Mississippi had some- thing together which made him a valuable man, and Sample a valuable man to the Governor of Mississippi. And he stated that he was investi- gating Davis for this reason. Just what this was I don’t know.” Miss Blood was subjected to a se- vere cross-examination each time she appeared to testify.“Asked if Sample had told her he was instrumental in furnishing Bradbury with evidence, she replied that he had not. “Not that he was so much instru- mental,” she said, “but that he knew Mr. Bradbury had the evidence. He jsaid you could infer a lot, for we have the evidence. ‘You go to Mr. Bradbury of New York if you want a good lawyer.’ “Did you know of the evidence on which you brought this action when you went to see Mr. Bradbury?’ she was asked. “No, Mr. Bradbury told me,” was the reply. “Did Sample stop at the same hotel in St. Paul?’ yt “And also in the same hotel in Jack- son?” Sample Guest of Gov, Brewer. “No; he was living at the executive mansion there, with Gov. Brewer.” Bradbury told the referee at one of the hearings that Sample had informed him the Governor had a grudge against. Davis and he (Sample) was out. to square it. It is intimated that the action thus far has cost whoever is financing it up- ward of $10,000. The expense to the de- fendant has been moderate in compari- son. In the end he will have to pay the referee and the stenographer’s fees, and they will be considerable. The usual referee's fee will be paid in this in- stance. This is $20 an hour, and as the referee has sat 100 hours, this expense alone amounts to $2000 today. The stenographer’s fees have been $1600. In spite of the fact that the record shows that Bradbury told the referee Sample had claimed he was interested because of the Governor of Mississippi, the lawyer denied to a reporter that he had ever made such a statement. He also refuted the record as to knowing Sample. He insisted Sample had noth- ing to do with the case.

CHICAGO, July 13.—Mrs. Ethel Shef- field, 30 years old, wife of George Shef- field, tenor in the choir of the Oak Park Presbyterian Church, killed herself by saturating her clothing with gasoline and setting herself on fire in her home, 4654 Beacon street. She set fire to herself at 11 o’clock Saturday morning and died at her home at ll o’clock that night. The police knew nothing of the occurrence until notified by the Coroner at 10 a. m. yes- terday. The Coroner had been informed by A. L. Bentley, an undertaker at 2731 North Clark street, that “Ethel Schofield,, 30 years old, 4664 Macon street, died of burns.”’ Suffered From Melancholy. Mrs. Sheffield had been a sufferer from melancholy for more than a year and this was said by her husband to have been responsible for her act. Since May (8 Mrs. Sheffield had been under the care of a trained nurse, Miss Jose- phine Prince, in her home. ‘Mrs. Sheffield and I were in the par- lor of her home about ll o’cloca Satur- day morning, when she suddenly left the chair in which she was sitting and went into the kitchen,”’ said Miss Prince. “Il always watched her very closely and I went to the kitchen after her. There is a long hall running from the parlor to the kitchen and before l could reach Mrs. Sheffield she picked up a can of gasoline from the kitchen floor, saturated her clothing with the liquid and set fire to herself. in flames when I reached the kitchen. Smothered Flames With Rug. “I seixed a Persian rug and smothered the flames by wrapping it about her, but she had already been terribly burned.”’ The Sheffields were married 12 years ago in San Francisco. They have no children. A few years ago they came to Chicago. She was a Miss Ethel Mc- Grew, singer in a San Francisco church, when she met her husband. Sheffields Resided in St. Louis Until Last Fall. News of the tragic death of Mrs. Sheffield, wife of George Sheffield, a former St. Louie choir singer, will shock many friends of Mr. and Mrs. Sheffield. They lived until last fall at the Lu- cerne Apartments, Taylor and McPher-. son avenues. Sheffield was tenor solo- ist in the choir of Temple Israel, and had classes at a studio in the Musical Art Building. Mrs. Sheffield was an accomplished pianist, and frequently played her hustand’s accompaniments when he sang at concerts. He removed to Chicago to take a chols position in the Oak Fark Presbyteriar Church. He also engaged in teaching in. Chicago, but gave most of his time, outside hig church work, to concert en- gagements. The Sheffields visited St Louis for a few days last May. One of their friends here said Mrs. Sheffield had been in poor health for a year. ee INSTEAD OF LEMON OR LIME JUICH Add Horsford’s Acid Phosphate To cold water—a teaspoonful to a glass.

Marshall of 3441 Laclede avenue, looking out of the kitchen win- dow of her home Monday morning, saw two negro children leaning out of a win- dow of a two-story brick building in the rear of 3448 Lawton avenue, and back of them she could see smoke and flames in the room. She ran across the alley and upstairs in the building, and carried to safety both children, who by that time had been overcome by the smoke. She then turned in an alarm. The children, Helen and Oletha Nor- vell, 5 and 3 years old, respectively, had been left at home alone by their mother, who does washing. No one else was in the building.

LONDON, July 13.—The Morning Post publishes statistics of the damage wrought by the militant suffragettes since 1913, showing they have set fire or attempted to set fire to 146 public buildings, churches, houses or other structures and have exploded or at- tempted to explode 43 bombs. The ma- terial damage is estimated at $1,920,000. excluding the damage to works of art which cannot be measured. of their own fortunes any loss which re- sults to the company? “Directors cannot without accounta- bility deplete a corporation treasury in ventures which are in violation of the laws of the land. ‘‘In the investigations the committee is required to make. from time to time it has, in accordance with its usual cus- tom, exercised due caution not to re- quire the testimony of witnesses where immunity might result except when it is necessary in order to get at the truth. In carrying out the instructions cf the Senate in this case, the commis- sion hes, therefore, kept in mind the warning of the Department cf Justice to carefully consider before placing a witness upon the stand the effrt his testitnony might have in the wey of ini- munizing him from criminal prosecu- tion. Necessary to Call Mellen. ‘“‘With respect to Mr. Mellen, former President of the New Haven system, it was the belief of the commission that his testimony was necessary in this in- vestigation and the result in our opin- ion, fully justifies this position. “The commission has proceeded upon the idea that it is better to expose wrongdoing, even if in doing so it would be necessary to use a few witnesses whose testimony might bring them im- munity, than throu hgfear of bestow- ing on some, leave facts unknown and uncovered and thereby-—give immunity to all, not only as to prosecution but to the stigma of exposure as well. “This investigation has demonstrated that the monopoly theory of those con- trolling the New Haven was unsound and mischievous in its effects: To achieve such monopoly meant the reck- less and scandalous expenditure of money; it meant the attempt to control public opinion; corruption of govern- ment; the attempt to pervert the politi- cal and economic instincts of the people in insolent defiance of law. Through exposure of the methods of this mo- nopoly the invisible Government which has gone far in its efforts to domi- nate New England has been made vis- ible. “It has been clearly proven how pub- lic opinion was distroyed; how officials who were needed and who could be bought were bought; how newspapers that could be subsidized were subsi- dized, how a college professor and pub- licists secretly accepted money from the New Haven, while masking as a representative of a great American uni- versity and as the guardians of the in- terests of the people; how agencies of information to the public were prosti- tuted wherever they could be procured in order to carry out a scheme of pri- vate transportation monopoly imperial in its scope. Directors Called Negligent. could have gone on without interfer- ence if the members of the Board of Di- rectors had been true to the faith they owed the stockholders. The directors actively or passively acquiesced in the efforts of the Mellen-Morgan-Rockefel- ler regime, to extend the domination of this corporation over the whole trans- portation field in New England. ‘“‘When these directors were negligent and serious losses resulted therefrom they were guilty of a grave derelection of duty and a breach of trust that was morally wrong and criminal in its fruits. “Directors should be made individ- ually liable to civil and criminal laws for the manner in which they discharge their trust. A corporation can be no better or worse than those who operate | ~~ it. It should be just as grave a crime to plunder stockholders or the public through a railroad corporation as it is personally to rob an individual. “From a careful consideration of the method in which expenditures have been made it is submitted that a reasonable estimate of the loss to the New York, reason of waste and mismanagement will amount to between $60,000,000 and “The splendid property of the New Haven Railroad itself will be called up- on for many a year to make up the drain upon its resources resulting from unpardonable folly of the transactions outside the proper field in which stock- holders supposed their money were in- vestied. “But honesty and efficiency of man- agement of this property as a raflroad only, will undoubtedly in time restore its former standing.”’ * New Haven Company Awaits an Offi- cial Copy of Report NEW YORK, July 3.—J.

Y., July 13.—Investi- gation of the murder of Mrs. Louise Bailey in the office of Dr. Edwin Car- man, June 30, has led District Attorney Smith to form a new theory which is in direct contradiction to that urged by Dr. Carman, that the murdezer had planned to kill. him and not his patient. A chart which the District Attorney has had prepared shows, he says, the identical positions occupied by Dr. Car- man and Mrs. Bailey and shows that only the narrowest part of the physi- cian’s shoulders could have been visible te the slayer; while an almost unob- structed view of Mrs. Bailey was ob- tainable. The District Attorney also declared he was satisfied that the shot. was fired ty @ person who knew intimately every inch of the inside of the room in which the killing occurred. The grand jury will continue to sit, but an indictment, if one is voted, charging Mrs. Carman with the crime is not expected before the end of this week. Tramp Is New “Eye Witness” of Mur- der in Dr. Carman’s Office. MINEOLA, N. Y., July 13.—The new “eyewitness” to the murder of Mrs. Louise Bailey, the Mineola woman Mrs. Edwin Carman is accused of having shot from outside a window in the of- fice of her husband, a Freeport physi- cian, is the so-called tramp, Frank Far- rell, who figured last week as a wit- ness in the case. Farrell said he saw a woman outside the house about the time of the murder. He now goes fur- ther, according to statements last night, and declares he saw a revolver in the woman's hand, with which she smashed the glass of the office window: Then he heard the shot fired. He waited to see no more, he says, but started down the road toward the village. Farrell will be one of the witnesses called be- fore the grand jury when it takes up the Bailey case Tuesday, it is expected. - Great Results Obtained by using our Facsimile Let ters, Malling Lists, etc. DEEMS, The Letter Man, 720 Olive.

WASHINGTON, July 13—Secretary Bryan issued a statement last night defending the proposed treaty to settle difficulties between the United . States and Colombia over the separation of Panama. The treaty has met with vig- .orous opposition in the Senate, and for- mer President Roosevelt has attacked it as a vehicle for the payment of “blackmail,” Bryan declared that regardless of whether Colombia has a just grievance against her more powerful neighbor, no oen would deny that through the sepa- ration of Panama the former country suffered great fihancial loss, consider- ably more than the $25,000,000 which the United States would pay under the treaty. As to the expression of regret on tue part of the American Government, to which opponents of the pending conven: tion offer the bitterest objection. tho Secretary said this was almost identical with a similar expression in the Dubois memorandum on the basis of which the Taft administration unsuccessfully sought to placate Colombia. The statement says in part: “Colombia feels that she has been aggrieved and whatever may be said as to whether or not this feeling is justi- fied, no one will deny that she has sustained great financial loss in the separation of Panama. Before the separation took place this Government offered Colombia $10,000,000 for the canal route and $260,000 a year for 100 years. about $7,600,000 so that this Government’s estimate of the loss suffered by Colom- bia could not be léss than about $17,500,- 000. “But. we have a ilater estimate to consider, namely, that placed upon the loss by the preceding administration. Mr. Dubois exceeded his authority in the proposition he made there is no doubt that he was authorized to make known to Colombia that the United States would offer as the basis of a treaty, if aagsured of acceptance by Colombia, $10,000,000 for the Atrata River canal route and arbitration of the re- versionary interest of Colombia in the railroad. What Colombian Might Get. This reversionary interest was val- ued at about $16,000,000, which would have been the sum awarded to Coloin- bia if the arbitration was decided in her favor. The $10,000,000 for the Atrata route and the $10.000,000 evidently was } intended. more~as 4iquidated damages than as the price of the canal route, to- gether with the value of the reversion- ary interest in the railroad would amount to $26,000,000. “But Mr. Dubois went further than this and suggested arbitration of the canal lease which might have added some $17,000,000 more, and then, upon hfs own responsibility in order to sound Colombia as to her demand, asked if she would consider $26,000,000 with the arbitration of reversionary interest 1 the railroad and without granting any privileges whatever, “The ratification of the Colombian treaty will restore the friendly rela- tions, which for a century preceding 1908 existed between Colombia ahd the Unit- ed States. It also will enable Colombia and Panama to settle their differences ani deal with each other upon a neigh- borly basis. More than that, it will give prestige to the United § States throughout Spanish America.” SLAYER FEARS VENGEANCE OF HIS VICTIM’S SONS Ellebracht, Who Killed Mother- | in-Law, Frightened on Way to the Inquest. Edwin Ellebracht, 23 years old, told the police Monday he feared he ywould be killed before his trial for the murder of his mother-in-law, Mrs. Josephine Faragher, 51 years old, of 2707 Madison street. He killed her and shot his wife, his wife’s step- father and another man last Friday night when he called at the Fara- gher residence to see his daughter, Edna, now more than a year old. Ellebracht, on the way to the Coroner's inquest, saw Mrs. Fara- gher’s sons, Edward Horstman. They were searched. Prendergast was ordered to leave the building. Horstman was a Coroner’s witness. While Ellebracht was at the Fara- gher residence for identification Saturday night, the police said, Pren- dergast approached and .cursed the slayer, saying he never would go to trial. A verdict of homicide was re- turned by the Coroner’s jury, and the Circuit Attorney announced Elle- bracht would be charged with mur- der in the first degree. He is a stove polisher and HMved at 38211 North Twenty-first street after his separa- tion from his wife, ELKS FIGHT USE OF NAME Obtain Suspension of thaeesoe: ation of a Negro Lodge.

Carnival on lawn of 1386 Amherst place, by Martha Hanson and others “Blue Beard,” a play, pre- sented by Emily Hahn, 4858 Fountain avenue, and five other Httle girls “Every Girl,” an allegorical play, and a vaudeville bill presented by young folks on lawn of Mrs. Thomas Humphreys’ residence, 5828 Julian avenue The hot wave now prevailing, and which on Saturday broke all heated- term records of the local Weather Bu- reau for the past 13 years with a tem- perature registration of 102 degrees, ren- ders still more imperative the most vigorous of battles to save the lives of the tenement babies. On Tuesday of last week, before this latest hot wave enveloped St. Louis in its sweltering embrace, Secretary Her- bert E. Mortland of the Pure Milk Com- mission proclaimed the truth that the little ones of the poor were in deadlier peril than ever before during the 10 years’ existence of the St. Louis Pure Milk Commission and the Post-Dis- patch Pure Milk and Free Ice Fund. “The situation this season,” an- nounced Secretary Mortland, “is quite different than in the past, as the ex- treme heat of the early season has |weakened the vitality of the babies and feach day sees many babies brought to the distributing stations. “The percentage of those receiving milk ‘absolutely free is greater than ever before. “Much money is needed if all are to receive the milk so essential to the ba- bies’ health.”’ And now, in sinister emphasis of this announcement, the return of the hot wave vastly increases the danger of the tenement tots. ; Théy cannot survive without help. Pure milk alone saves them. The Children of the League are fight- ing their best to rescue these little ones. Help them to make a victorious fight. Save the babies! 4 The entertainment and lawn party given at the residence of Mrs. Thomas Humphreys, 5828 Julian avenue, on Fri- day evening for the benefit of the Post- Dispatch Pure Milk and Free Ice Fund was -a big success, earning $20 with hi¢ly to save the tenement babies. an Quick on the Trigger With a Snap-Shot.

Two great problems, long sources of dispute, the tariff and banking and currency, have been wisely settled. Legislation supplemental to the trust laws is far advanced. Although there has been some depression, it is confined chiefly to industries dependent upon the railroads and is disappearing. There have been heavy gold ex- ports, but the supply of that metal in the treas- ury and the country is larger than it was a year ago. Our foreign commerce is active and healthy and will be greatly augmented by the abundant show a surplus and there is every indication that with fair taxation and the wider opportunity af- forded by just laws, reinforced by the bounty of the fields, great prosperity is at hand. Although Mr. McAdoo expects the new banking system to be in operation in time'to be of service in moving the crops, he is preparing to deposit public moneys as he did last year, not in Wall street, but throughout the country in places where they will be available to legitimate enterprise. In the belief that financial security and stability have been established, it is the Secretary’s opin- ion that the economic situation of the United States is sounder today than that of any other ] crops now in sight..

Perhaps after all it was not so much last year’s shortage of corn as the waste of corn that is af- flicting the country. Kentucky distillers have organized to cut down whisky production and are trying to unite Ohio, Indiana and ‘Hilinois. in. the program to produce 20,000,000 gallons less in 1914 than in 1913. They sex this movement is not a result of increased prohibition area, claiming that in four years con- sumption of whisky in the United States has risen from 20,000,000 gallons annually to 35,000,000. Their reason for restriction of output is that in the same period production has inereased from 20,000,000 to 46,000,000 - annually. If these figures are reliable, enough corn was ‘taken from the nation’s stock to make 11,000,000 gallons of whisky that the country did not want. We might have fed our stock cheaper had this waste been avoided.. We might have escgped the ignominy of importing one of the foodstuffs which we introduced to the civilized world, if the distillers had been less greedy. . The campaign of Kentuckians should succeed. The slogan of less whisky should be sounded in the headquarters of the wets. If for each of four years they have exceeded consumption 11,000,000 gallons there must be a stock of 44,000,000 gallons on hand—a supply for 15 mqnths on their own figures. Why make any whjsky at all in 1914, = = OR id REDUCED EXPRESS RATES. The order of the State Public Service Commis- sion reducing express charges within ‘the State harmonizes intrastate with interstate charges. It is a fair measure of justice to the public. The Publit Service Commission is justifying its creation by beneficial activities. The power of the commission is broadened by the Supreme Court decision affirming its legal right to raise as well as reduce railroad rates when conditions justify, regardiess.of the rates fixed by statutes. Under this decision the com- mission may grant increases of rates when the legal rate is proven to be too low as well as reduce them when shown to be too high.

THE FREE PASS AS A REBA New proof that the railroads can’t or won’t learn to obey the law is given in the Interstate Commerce Commission’s report to the Senate on purses issued last year, by the Louisville & Nash- ville Railroad. The company gave ik free passes worth over $340,000 to Federal and State officials, Sheriffs jand Judges, editors‘and anybody else who might be able to help in court or in politics. The commission properly declares “these citi- zens sell their influence quite as much as if they accepted money bribes.” “Federal law. forbids interstate use of, free | passes, and many states forbid use of intrastate |Dasees.

McAdoo’s theory is that it has been politically organized and helped along by interests long favored which find in the new Democratic laws policies no hope for monopoly or privilege. In acgquitting business men at large of any respon- sibility for this assault upon the administration, he logically sustains the main point of his state- ment, which is that the people generally are already prosperous and contented and are going to be more so, For the first time in many years a Secretary of the Treasury in discussing American business affairs has not been content to fix his attention wholly upon the financial district of New York. Mr. McAdoo’s survey is national and interna- tional. He does not measure the activities of selected groups and interests in picked localities, but the hopes and prospects of every man in every section, from coast to coast. If there were nothing else to support his conclusions, this fact aione would make his remarks encouraging as well as memorable. = =" ~~ Sa WAITING ON SENATORIAL GALLERY PLAY.

That half-portion of homo yclept summer wid- qwer is a queer fish, out of water. This is not an allusion to his aversion to that drinkable ele- ment during his wife’s absence, but rather to his being out of his element. He is also out at el- bows. This darnless, buttonless embodiment of all creature discomforts wandering aimlessly and listlessly but restlessly through his summer celi- bacy, frequenting the hermitage of a deserted house, or stumbling heavily through a routine of forced diversions, would be the most pathetic ob- ject in the world if he were not the most absurd. One may sympathize with but not weep at the plight of a chicken which is being rained on. One might deplore, but scarcely sob over, the condition of a wilted summer: widower Who did not remem- ber to send his élothes to the laundry last week. As misery loves the most miserable company possible, the summer widower is frequently seen flocking with others of his kind. Large coveys of them, uttering cheerless sounds like a flock of curlews or raincrows, may be discerned any evening at this season in our large interior metropolis, The most horrible examples of the silly season, they darkey clubs, gardens and other places of so-called amusement with a funeral shade and turn other pleasure seekers into mourn- ers like themselves. (N. B.—Summer widowers who are subscribers may feel free to cut this out and mail it to their better halves at watering places, to describe their condition of neglected melancholy and monastic desuetude.) There really ought to be a home founded for these abandoned wretches by some genuinely sentimental altruist who is careless with money; and it ought to be conducted on the lines of a home for friendless cats or dogs, and managed by a capable and elderly matron who understands the art of being kind to dumb enimals. == ea COMMON SENSE ON THE JOB.

From the Philadelphia Record. The day ef the magnetic compass, the! Some sailor’s needle, is passing. On warships and the great liners it is being replaced } by the gyroscopic compass, which oper- ates on the principle that the axle of a rapidly rotating disc tends to align ftself with the axis of the earth. This axle is now the “needle.” The shaft of every fly wheel, dynamo, and motor is striving in vain against its bearings to turn to the geographic north. The direct action of the earth which causes this is feeble. So in the gyroscopic compass this is reinforced by electric power té act in- stantly at any turn of the ship and thus keep the axle of the disc always pointing north. — In 1851 the French physician, M. Fau- cault, while demonstrating the rotation of the earth, detected this éffect of the earth’s action on the gyroscope that he was using. His discovery was the basic principle of the gyroscope compass, which now, 60 years later, has been per- fected by an American engineer, Elmer A. Speery. Thirty-five of our battle- ships and 2 of our submarines are equipped with it. Many foreign navies also use it. In battleships a magnetic compass must be placed in a cage mast to re- duce the effect of the mass of steel which the hull presents. But the gyro- scopic compass, which is nonmagnetic, is placed in a protected position below the water line. tricity it actuates auxiliary. compasses placed ‘at the wheel and in the conning } tower: In submarines the magnetic com- |: pasegis subjected to so many disturb- ing influences as to be almost useless, whereas the gyroscopic a is not at all affected. Another quality of the magnetic com- pass is that it points not to the geo- graphic north or pole, but to the mag- netic pole, which is to one side of the geographic pole, and it is deflected from the magnetic pole by the variation due to local magnetic conditions, and by the deviation caused by the fact that a steel phip is itself a magnet. So in laying his course the navigator must allow for those factorg in his problem. But with the gyroscopic compass he is rid of them all and the poetic term, “Prue as the needle to the pole,” must remain for poetry, leaving the act of navigation to the guidance of the gyroscopic compass, which is really true and not just partly true as the needle always was. “UNCLE SAM NEEDS A WIFE.” g From the New York Sun. “Uncle Sam ought to be a married man.

No one resisted Ann when she said please. Ann's “Please” was a.word of art— Ann realized it. Richard smiled; he knew the battle was won. ; A smooth-faced individual came down the aisle.

I knew, of course, that it either meant he had some stocks of which [ knew nothing that was going to do well, or that Mr. Cosgrave had given him some information to use. Jack asked for his cheek and, I no- ticed, tipped the waiter very generous- ly. He also lingered a moment as we passed Mr. Cosgrove’s table. The play was delightful... Jack ap- peared to. enjoy it more than he had anything for a long time. After it was over Mr. Everhardt insisted upon our going to a big restaurant for sup- per. I had never been there, and was perfectly delighted with the - gayety. The women were all so beautifully dressed and the men all looked so smart ih their evening clothes! There was more license, more freedom than in any other cafe I had ever visited, and it fascinated me.
