Ginger Ale JOunce Together
MarIowe Not Engaged to WorthIns.
The problem discussed yesterday by
the cabin passengers of the American
liner St. Paul, in from Southampton and
Cherbourg, was Who mixed the ginger
ale iounce?' It was concocted in the suite
of the Hon. Eugene Hale of Maine (Gccord-
ing to several voyagers who didn't care to
have their names published) by the Sena-
tor himself; according to others, James
c. Beasley, a Observation-Disclosures passen-
ger with hair prematurely gray, prepared
the mixture composed of "heel tap of
Scotch whskey, ginger ale and lemon
juice"
Mr. Beaslcy, with two other men who
looked prosperous and were a trife reserved
not to say enigmatic, boarded the st. Paul
at Southampton. The other men are d.
r. Dwyer ard l., Z. Heron, Deputy United
States Marshals. They caught up with
Mr.. Beasley, after pursuit Of 1900 miles
near Pretoria, South Africa.
Mr. Beasley had been employed at Cape
Nome by Uncle Sam, and departed it is
alleged, a'ter forging army paymaster's
checks
The L. s. Marshaps men didn't ten any,
body aboard the ST. Paul about their busi-
ness, and MIR. Bet sey, entirety unem-
barrassed, had the ~ me privileges aboard
the ship es any other cabin pa ssenger.
His pessa &c was paid by Uncle ST m. Some
OF the folks who unsuspectingly enjoyed
the compa nionship Of Mr. Bea sey md the
detectives were Julia Marlowe, the actress;
Deputy Surveyor Bishop, Col. James FL
version, Jr., Of the PhlG delphia Inquirer
and several young women, who asked the
reporters not to print their names One
of the young women declared that Bea sley
had mixed the ginger ale jounce in Senator
Hale's suite; the other said she thought
the Senator had mixed it,
Senator Hale refused TO be either inter-
viewed or photographed. He did say
that he hadn't anything to say except thai
he had gone abroad in the st Paul and come
back in her wholly for the sake OF the voy-
age.
Julia Marlowe wouldn't commit herself on
the cocktail incident. She said that she
WASH engaged TO marry her Leading man,
Frank Worthing; that she regarded him as
an actor OF ability and great promise but
that he was not physically strong. She
hoped he would stay at home in Scotland
until he was in splendid trim. As to the
report that she WAS going to get next year
from Charles Frohman the highest salary
ever paid 70 an American actress she
said
We'll, when was a girl, | never thought
it possible that | should receive for forty
months the salary | shall begin to draw
next year"
Miss Marlowe will go to her country home
in the Catskils and have good time the
rest OF the summer. She looks vigorous
and handsome.
Deputy Surveyor of Customs John NJ.
Bishop has been on vacation since June
"a, looking over the European systems Of
handling baggage at seaports with view
OF improving the system here. He says
they pass luggage quicker in France, Ger
many and England because fewer things
are dutiable in those countries than here.
He found the baggage examiners abroad
quick, sharp, intelligent and good readers of
human nature. He will make some sug-
gestions to facilitate the handling of bag
gage on steamship piers at this port.

returned to Manila without the formality
of extradtion papers. Wilson was CON
victed at Manila and sentenced to long
term of Imprisonment
Heron and Dwyer went from Manila
To South Africa to find Beasley, who two
years before had been indicted at Nome.
The search which had been conducted in
the meantime had traced Beasiey 400
miles north Of Pretoria. in the Transvaal
When found by the marshals Beasley was
apparently in fair way to making for
tune, having discovered valuable copper
deposits and also having taken up several
gold mines One OF these mines, in winding
IN his affairs after arrest, Beasley sold for
sI0 900,
The remainder of his property he turred
over to the management Of his partner
and, waving cxtradition, accompanied
the officers back TO the United States, ar
irving here Tonight The officers will
leave with their prisoner tomorrow for
Seattle whence a steamer will take him
