AMERICAN BELLIES
WIN HIGH FAVOR
Three Daughters Of Michael
2. Grace Much Esteemed
in Great Britain.

LONDON, March 15.-Three Graces,
whose family name finds itself fully
indicated IN the lovely faces, are the
daughters of Michael P Grace, for
merly of New York and now of Lon
don, whose home is on Belgrade square.
They are the attractions of one of the
mosst brilliant drawing rooms in the
English capital, and the unbiased critic
would find it hard to decide which of
the trio carries off the palm. Insepa-
rable in their affection as they appar-
emily are, in their beauty each shines
the more in the presence of her sisters.
Possibly the most talked of, by rea-
son of her marriage, is Elena Oady
DonoughmOre), the wife of an Irish
peer, whose career Is already promis-
ing enough to suggest the elevation of
another American woman to Viceregal
honorS. The earl served his appren-
ticeship in official life as private secre-
tary to Sir Henry Blake during the
latter's term as governor of Hongkong.
Few people have known that the in
ternational match, which seemed so
eminently fitting from the charm Of
MISS Grace as well as her wealth and
the distinction of Lord Donoughnore,
whose dollars were as few as his pedi-
gree was long, was the result Of a ro-
nance of long standing.
1t began down in South America
when the two young people, not yet
emancipated from knickerbockers and
short frocks, were investigating life
with the enthusiasm of all youngsters
for the new and unexpected.
The old earl was heavy stakeholder
in some South American enterprises of
which Michael P. Grace was the head.
and both had taken their families to
share their voluntary exile. Young
Lord Suirdale, as the present earl was
then, became not only the champion Of
his pretty sisters, Lady Norah and
Lady Evelyn Helv- Hutchinson, but of
the Graces as Well. Brazil and Peru
We're the localities where the English
and American comrades cemented a
friendship which was to defy time and
change and to merge in at least one in
stance into something deeper and
warmer.
Elisa, the eldest daughter, is Mrs.
Hubert Beaumont. Her husband is the
second son of the head Of the famous
Yorkshire family of Beaumonts, who
made himself more beloved by his peo-
pie by declining a peerage on the score
that he was prouder of his name as a
cemmoner. The family is enormously
rich.
Mrs. Beaumont Is closely reseubted
by the third daughter, Margharita, who
is still the heyday of her belledom and
has refused so far to listen to the pleas
of many signing SWANS. All the Lon
don world is interested to see which
way the beauty will throw the hand..
kerchief
Always readily adapted to the life
about her, Mrs Grace has picked up
and curiously retained a slight touch
Of the Spanish In her accent. Long
residence in South America and her
fluent use OF the Spanish tongue are
partly accountable for this involuntary
trick Of memory Mrs. Grace's proud
est boast Is that she is the grandmeth-
er of two of the finest boys La London.
One is the baby OF Mrs Beaumont, the
other, scarcely older, that of Lady Dom
oughmore.

ROW OCCURS IN A
SALOON ON THE HILL
Three Men Engage in Fisticuffs and
Are Arrested.

John Clarke, George Treager and
William Treager were arrested at 6
o'clock last evening for creating a dis
turbance in Hickey's saloon at Mar
shall and Western avenues.
According to the story told the po-
lice, Clarke was in a row earlier in the
afternoon at Shea's livery, SeIby ave-
nue., where he went to collect a bill.
which he claimed was due him. He
was elected from the barn, and then
went to HiclIey's place, where he met
the Treagers, who are brothers.
Clarke is said to have taken several
drinks with the two men, when a dis
pute arose over the payment for the
liquor. Words led to blows, and a free
for-all fight followed. The barkeeper
telephoned to the Rondo police station
for assistance, and Policemen Wright,
Collins and Smith We're detailed on
the case. They arrested the three
participants, who are all charged with
diSorderly conduct
A crowd of over 200 people gathered
and followed the prisoners TO the Ron

HICKEY is BACK
FROM THE COAST
Association President Failed
in Attempt to Settle
War.

CHICAGO. March 15.-President T.
j. Hickey. Of the American association,
returned from California yesterday,
where he went as a peace commissions
er Of the minor leagues to settle the
strife between tn rival organizations
on the coast. President NJ. H. Sexton,
of the Western league. was to have
accompanied Mr.. Hickey, but was
snow bound. and did not reach Califor,
MIA until shortly before Mr.. Hickey
left for home.
Mr.. Hickey found the California and
the Pacific Northwest leagues in a
war that is certain to wipe out one or
the other from the baseball map at an
early date. The chances, according to
Mr.. Hickey, are that the Pacific North
west league, which practically preeipi-
tated the war, will have hard Shedding
before the season is very old on &C
count of the distances and jumps
which the teams will be compelled to
make. The league includes the cities
of Helena, Butte, Seattle, Tacoma,
Portland, Spokane, San Francisco and
Los Angeles. 1t is figured that the
Montana teams will be compelled to
travel 2,4o0 miles when they visit Los
Angeles, and the California fans could
not figure how the teams could make
both ends meet with the expenses
which such a haul would make nee
eSsary.
President Lucas, of the league. how
ever, thinks 1t can be done, and he
has placed j. J. McCloskey, formerly of
Louisville, to run the San Francisco
end of the enterprise. Salaries have
also been boosted to an unheard of
degree on the coast, and President
Hickey confirmed the report that Joe
Corbett has signed with Manager Nor
ley, Of the Los Angeles California
league team, at a big salary.
The California league holds the whip
end, as it Will have a season of eight
months, while the Pacific Northwest
will only play five months. At this
rate the California league, which is
made up of San Francisco Los An
geles, Oakland, Sacramento, Seattle
and Portland. will have opposition in
four cities for only two months and a
half. To show the stability of the
California league, each club has de-
posted $1,000 as a guarantee of good
faith.
President Hickey received every
courtesy from the California league
officials, who are anxious to make some
kind of an agreement with the Ma
tional association. The rival league,
however, impugned the motives of the
peace committee, and would have Moth
ing but war. The members said they
did not desire baseball peace. Mana
ger McC1oskey was the most belliger-
ent member, but we'll posted men on
the coastpredict hard times for the
ex-Kentuckian a little later in the sea-
son.

NEW WITNESS IN
BURDICK CASE
Friend Of Murdered Man Has
Some Significant Testi-
mOny to Offer.

BUFFALO. n. Y, March 15.-The
Express tomorrow Will print an inter-
view with a person who at one time
was a stakeholder in the Buffalo En-
velope company and for twelve years
a close friend of Edwin l. Burdick
The interview in part is as follows:
Il had been acquainted with Mr.. Bur-
dick for twelve years prior to his
death. 1 came in almost daily contact
with him, and for some time past had
been more or less in his confidence.
First Of all I want to say something in
defense Of his character, which has
been unjustly maligned by statment
and inSinuation. Mr.. Burdick was
gentleman in every sense of the word.
This talk about his intimacy with
women 1 believe was wholly without
foundation.
Though I knew in the early part of
December that Mr.. Burdick had made
will cutting off his wife, it was not
until shortly after Christmas that I
learned anything about the divorce
proceedings. He then told me of hav-
ing begun suit for divorce in the early
part Of November.
L cannot help believing from all
heard from Mr. Burdick that the mo-
tive for the crime might have been a.
desire to suppress the scandal that
would have been incident to the trial Of
a divorce suit.
Soon after Mr.. Burdick told me of
his having begun divorce proceedings
he showed me a letter he had lust
received from New York. Mr. Burdick
| handed me the letter and I read every
word of it.
In the letter the writer was trying
hard to bring about a reconciliation
toll HI
pleaded with Burdick to take Allie
back. The writer also wrote in this
letter something that Burdick con-
strued as a threat that unless there
was reconciliation there would be a
double suicide. 1 cannot remember
the exact words, but they were some
thing like this: do you want to put
an end to all our lives?
Mr.. Burdiek pointed out that par
ticular part Of the letter to me and
said: That means suicide. Well, let
them go ahead and do it
1t seems to me this letter ought to
be found. What has become of 1t?
DID Dld ne have It in his desk at his
mouse, in his den, and was it taken
by the murderer when riffifg the
drawer that was found open?
Another paper that should be found
is a list of twenty meeting places that
Mr.. Burdick had secured for use in his
divorce proceedings"
