WILL GIVE LoNDoNERS A TIP

When English society next season
uses the phrase, "closer than minute"
to denote a person as being tight"
"crimpy with his money" "slow with
the green" or to use the old English Of
by gone days, man Of saving habits,
peers and mobiles should give Sir Henry
Tichborne the credit for its intro
duction across the water.
Sir Henry who has estates In Eng
land valued at millions. and who is at
the Van Nuys in company with P. d.
Ball of London, repeated the phrase
three times last night and then said
that the four little words so appealed
to him that, on his return to England,
he would "accimate" them.
Last night, Sir Henry rang the bell
viciously for a servant. A bell boy
shortly appeared. do you see that
clock?" he asked of the bell boy. The
bell boy Thought that he did"
Take it down at once or give me
another room. 1 can not sleep where
thing like that ticks all the time"
said his lordship.
Two minutes later, the clock, still
ticking, as if to mortify the English
nobleman by a show of independence,
was carried out of the room and Sir
Henry felt more comfortable.
San Francisco papers gave Sir Henry
the credit of breaking" three Amerl-
r0 In 1o,, al, of
during the trip from Honolulu to the
states, but this he refutes with spirit.
Il only wish 1 had," he replied last
night, when questioned on the subject,
but unfortunately I think 1 lost 1t
was beastly dull. We were bored to
distraction, and, to while away the
time, we played for couple of hours
in my state room.
Il couldn't possibly lose very much,
you know" he added parenthetically,
because it was only for dollar raise
with a fifty cent ante. In fact the
game was not very crashy."
On Tour Of the World
Since the middle of January, Sir
Henry and his friend have been upon
tour of the world, having visited the
island of Ceylon and the various cities
Of China, with a months visit in
Japan.
IT am sure I should have never
known there was a great war in prog
ress if I had gone by the actions of the
people alone" said Sir Henry, in dis
cussing the events of his travels in
Japan. "The little fellows are so quiet
and unassuming. They are not making
the least excitement. 1t is true they
had one celebration while was there
over the winning of battle, but the
days after the news was received and
then everything was according to a
regular order.
I'VE arrived in San Francisco a fort
night ago and then we found some
thing new, something which we had
not met with in all our travels-that
was the western hospitality Of which
have heard much but had never ex-
perienced until now, which is my first
visit to the states.
Western Hospitality
do you know, they made us MEM
bers of three clubs while we were in
San Francisco, and we were not there
more than that number Of days." he
said with pride.
"Then you Americans have such fine
train service and the appointments are
so luxurious" Here Sir Henry remem-
bered the dinner which he had enjoyed
on his way to Los Angeles from Santa
Barbara, and pulled from his pocket |
the long dining car menu card, which
he is taking home to show how we'll
the inner man can be accommodated
even on railway train.
Sir Henry will remain in Los Angeles |
until Tuesday, then continue his trip
east. Stops will be made at Grand |
Canyon, Chicago and Niagara Falls, |
and June 13 the two will sail from New
York for England aboard the Kaiser
Wilhelm.
Celebrated Case Recalled
The visit of Sir Henry to Los An
geles makes of interest one of the most |
celebrated and long-fought cases of the |
English courts, in which the ITCH
