A RECORD FOR DIVING
BY ETHEL BARRYMORE

LONDON, Sept. 1O.-Ethel Barrymore
sailed for New York yesterday on the
Oceanic, carrying with her a prize won
by high diving against such an expert as
Lady Constance Mackenzie. the cham
pion woman swimmer of the United
Kingdom.
Miss Barrymore was the guest of the
Duchess of Sutherland, who recently
gave her patronage TO an aquatic festi
val at GOlspie. Lady Constance Mac
kenzie and Miss Chaplin, who were also
guests at Dunrobin Castle, gave an OK
hibition of their natatorial prowess,
which fired Miss Barrymore to emulate,
and indeed to exceed. the British ex-
perts. The exhibition by the American
girl was not on the program. but she
borrowed a costume from Lady Con-
stance Mackenzie. and. TO the surprise
Of everybody, plunged into the water
from a height considerably greater than
the British champion had attempted.

WOMAN'S LONE FIGHT
TO RETAIN HER HOME
ResistS Naval Academy Attempts
to Gust Her.

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Sept 1O.-Mrs.
John Kealey, who for a number Of
months has withstood the efforts of the
United States Government to dispossess
her from the house she occupies in the
ground recently added to the Naval
Academy, ii is expected, will have to
move by the end of the week The wall
has been completed and two marine SEN
tries have been posted at the only gate
through which she can pass. The or
ders given to the sentries are that Mrs.
Kealey must not be allowed to return If
she once leaves the ground. She has
gone to church regularly each Sunday
morning, so it is believed that there will
be an opportunity to keep her out next
Sunday.
Mrs. Kealey has claimed additional
compensation from the Government for
the house in which she lives, and has re-
sisted efforts to dispossess her until long
after all the other houses in the vicinity
have been torn down. It is now imperative
that she move, as the cellars are being
dug for officers new residences right by
the dwelling and it will have to be torn
down. 1t is denied that the Government
has consented to build her a house or
that 1t has in any way agreed TO give her
additional compensation.
