Desire.
Chief Executive Asks That
Sir Thomas and Party Be
Excluded.
Bases His Action on Ground That BE

tesies to shamrock's
Owner.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, Sept. 12.-President Roose-
Welt is responsible for the first rough dis
courtesy experienced by Sir Thomas Lip
ton in this country. The President has
forced the Seawanhaka-Corin Yacht
Club to withdraw invitations to a dinner
which It had issued to Sir Thomas and
his friends.
The Seawanhaka-Corinthian Clubhouse
is on the shore of Oyster Bay. nct far
from Mr.. Roosevelts home. AS the time
for the clubs annual dinner approached
it occurred to the members that it would
be courteous and neighborly to invite the
President as guest of honor In further
ance of that kindly thought Colgate Hoyt,
senior member Of the committee having
I the matter in charge, went in person to
Sycamore Hill and delivered the invita-
ton.
In order to serve Mr.. Roosevelts con-
Venience he was requested tosname time
when he would be free from engagements,
so that the club might arrange to have
! its dinner on that date.
The President accepted the invitation
and named September is. A few days ago
the committee sent invitations to the din
ner TO Sir Thomas Upton, Mr.. Fife, the
Earl Of Shaftesbury and another member
Of his party. Sir Thomas and his friends
f
made ready to receive and entertain them.
But an extraordinary thing has occur
red. The Presidents secretary, Loeb. has
written a letter TO Colgate Hoyt declaring
that neither Sir Thomas nor any Of his
party must come TO the dinner. Loeb an
nOunced that Sir Thomas had recently
been received as guest on the Presidents
yacht MayfiOwer during the naval maneu-
vers at Oyster Bay and that the President
did not want to seem to be OVERRIDING
cOurtesies TO him. and IL might be thought
that Sir Thomas presence at the dinner
was due 10 the fact that the President
was to be there. Anyhow the President
objected to the presence of Sir Thomas
or any of his party or Of any persons eX-
cept members of the club.
The committee was aghast II it with
drew its invitation to Sir Thomas and his
patty that act would be an insult to them.
If il allowed the invitations to stand the
President would refuse to attend. The
Presidents letter was written in unmis-
taxable language; neither Sir Thomas nor
any Of his party must be al the dinner.
Just how the committee arrived at its de-
cision Il is impossible to say. but the IN

The Grass Widow.

1.-The origin of the term grass widow "

originally grace widow; that is, widow

rives from the cd English custom of a

broom was common phrase. When this
thing was done the meaning was that the
house had been swept clear Of the wife S
presence and the husbands friends were
TO visit him and do as they pleased. In
time, instead of hanging out a broom, the
husband came to hang out only bunch
Of grass. Thus he grew to be called a

Fertlllzlng Salt.

The Vermont Experiment Station
at Burlington weighed ten clusters
of grass from two plots of land lying
side by side. From the unsaIted
plot the ten plants weighed IA
grams, while from the plot which
had received 5000 pounds of salt
per acre, they weighed 26 grams or
nearly twice as much.
Speaking of its effectiveness in kill
ing Hawk Weed, or Paint Brush, the
experiment station bulletin says,
Most of the weed was killed by
the application of 1000 pounds per
acre. Every plant of it was killed
by the application of 5000 pounds
per acre and the weight of the grass
was nearly doubled"
FERTLzING SALT can be obtained
of c. S. Page, Hyde Park, VT, at
$500 per ton in carload lots, and
$3.50 in less than carload lots put
up in cheap 100.lb. sacks-no charge
for sacks. At this price the Salt is
delivered on board the cars at Hyde
Park. Low, special freight rates

'What have you to say, Mr.. Cor
DOM" The judge turned his specialized
eyes toward him.
81 say he lies" replied Gordon
promptly.
"Have you any proofs" The voice
seemed sharper, and the figure straight
ened up perceptibly.
Gordon hesitated. He began to see
through Tommy Randall's scheme. 1t
was no4 like Tommy Randall to run
such a risk, but his whole political life
had been such mesh of lies and DELHI
crate dishonesty that it was not be,
yond the region of probability for him
to resort to very dangerous and des-
perate trick to clear himself. Gordon
had carefully measured the foundation
walls Of the double decker and knew
that by his measurement they covered
the entire lot, yet he had nothing to
prove that fact except his own state
ment.
"Have you any proof that this state
ment Of Mr.. Randalps is falsehoodY'
The voice came in an added tone Of
sharpness.
Nothing but my own word" Gordon
answered quietly.
"Have you the measurements you
made with you?"
Gordon produced a paper with a
rough diagram marked on it showing
the distance from the front of Bowen
street to the end of the lot to be ninety
eight feet and the foundation walls of
the building to measure the same dis
tance.

Judge asked. His voice was again soft

Not a word was said by any one OIL
the way back. Gordon was singing il
his soul a song of hope Here was a
Daniel come to judgment. Whenever
before in the history of that city had q
! public judge or any other ever done a
thing like this? The specialized, soft
voiced young man suddenly doomed up
before Gordon as a most imposing fig
ure.
Back in court again, Judge Julius
| Chambers, relieving the assistant judge
who had taken his place in his absence,
confronted the parties in the case. His
voice was ringing now; no softness OF
meditation in his manner.
Tommy Randall, this court finds you
guilty of the charge named in the war
rant, and | fine you the maximum pen
atty, which is a fine of $500, with an
added sentence of sixty days in Jail, I'M
less the building is changed in its con-
| struction within thirty days to conform
to existing ordinances. l may add that
while it is possible the city engineer
may have made a mistake in his fig
ures, it is my deliberate conviction that
conspiracy of grave character has
been entered into here by you, Mr..
Randall, to deceive the court, and if
such conspiracy can be shown to exist,
as l shall do my utmost to prove, it will
be penitentiary case for both you and
your attorney. Call the next case"
Tommy Randalps attorney had a
face the color of dirty putty Tommy
himself glared at the judge and then at
Gordon. He finally, with a great eff
fort, pulled himself together and went
out with his lawyer after the latter
had gone through the regular formal
ity of appealing the case to the court
of appeals.
All the way to Hope House Gordon
and Ford felt like executing a dance
familiar library, they related the whole
affair to Miss Andrews and the de-
lighted settlement workers.
'This means the beginning of the
end for Tommy Randall" said Ford.
Miss Andrews shook her head.
Tommy appealed the case. He will
get out there. Remember he has never
yet been convicted. Tcday's experience
was only a scratch to him. He has not
yet been seriously hurt You do not
know him as do"
But Chambers does not intend to
let the other matter rest. 1t was
plain case Of conspiracy and deliberate
effort to deceive the court"
Miss Andrews shook her head again.

mistake in not measuring Judge Cham

In the morning Gordon and Miss An

The masons had begun their days

they had received no orders to change
