Flora Newdigate had other devotees, but none so prominent as Proigne.
 Sir Ralph, her husband, by this time, had ceased to be discussed at all. Nobody ever said, nowadays, Does he care?'' 'Is he bothered ?'' Everybody realized that, even if he hated the whole proceeding, he was quite too emotionless a person (out- wardly) to give sign.

AERIAL SHIP
WITH LONG TAIL
SEEMS A WONDER

3v Associated Press.
ROME, Dec. 8.-Count AL
merigo of Schio, who since
1874 has been experimenting
with airships, believes he has
found the solution of aerial
navigation.
His new machine, which is
in the shape of a ship, contains
fifty horsepower motor and
rudder ten yards square.
Besides this there is a kind
of tail about thirty-hve yards
square, which may be used as
a rudder, and at the end of this
an arrow TO keep the ship in
balance.
This airship, it is said, can
remain in the air for FIVE hours
without recharging, attain a
height of three thousand feet
and a speed of twenty-five
miles an hour. Experiments
will soon be made with the
machine.

THE PRESIDENT
Dismissed Diplomat Sends Out Letters
Marked "Private," Which
Rake the Admin

BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Dec. S.-The Chicago
Tribune i'm its Washington dispatches
today says that an extraordinary let
ter has been addressed by Bellamy
Storer to President Roosevelt and the
members Of his cabinet In regard to his
dismissal from the post of ambassador
of the United States to Austro-Hun-
gary. The letters were marked "pri-
vate."
Mr.. Storer was dismissed because Of
his wife's supposed interference in af-
fairs of the Roman Catholic church and
her alleged misuse of letters from the
president.
1t was also charged that Mrs. Storer
had meddled with French politics by
taking part in anti-republcan intrigues
to promote the marriage of Victor Bo-
naparte with member of the Orleans
family.
Both of these charges Mr.. Storer de-
nies, and on the other hand declares
that the Presidents interest in the Sc
lection of Archbishop Ireland as a car
dinal was not due to Storer or to
Storer's wife, but the president alone.

NEW YORK, Dec. S.-Commander
Robert E. Peary gave a public lecture
today at the Museum of Natural His
tory upon his latest attempt to reach
the north pole. He said in the course
of 1t that he was satisfied there is
q body of land somewhere about a
hundred miles northwest of Greenland.
His party, he said, found driftwood a
hundred miles from Greenland in the
open polar sea, which he was convinced
could only have come from rivers flow
ing through land not yet placed on the
map. Commander Peary said also that
he believed that If the polar winter
during which he made his attempt had
been q normal one he would have
reached the pole.
He thought it could be reached with
no greater expense or loss of time than
he experienced in his expedition. With
his added knowledge of Arctic condi-
tions, he believed the pole could be
reached with sledges, but the explorer
should leave land farther west than he
did, at about Cape Richards, and should
not proceed straight toward the pole,
but toward the northwest, and thus
take advantage of the north drift of
the ice and currents, which is south
west. He discovered, he said, unique
glacial fringe on the northern coast
of Greenland, which he believed to be
the origin of the paleocrystic, or always
frozen, ice, which former explorers had
thought was from ice massed about the
pole

SETTLES DANBURY BOYCOTT
Connecticut Judge Disposes of Case
Which Involves Labor Con-
splracy Allegations
By Associated Press.

HARTFORD, Conn, Dec. s.-The
long pending Danbury boycott case,
involving allegations of conspiracy
brought by Dietrich E. Loewe and
Martin Fuchs against Martin Lawlor
and others has been settled. Judge
Platt, of the United States circuit
court, dismissed the complaint.
The decision Is on demurrer of the
defendants.
The plaintiffs allege that the de-
PENDANTS were illegally using their
label and that a combination had been
formed to limit the plaintiffs trade.
1t was also alleged that the defend
ants endeavored, to unionize the plain
tiffs' factory and failing to do so de-
clared boycott upon hats made by
the plaintiffs which were found in the
hands of plaintiffs customers in other
states than Connecticut, notably Cali
fornia and Virginia.
Judge Platt's opinion declares that
while it is obvious that the defendants
sought to curtail and If possible de-
stroy the plaintiffs production of hats
and its distribution of the product,
there is no allegation suggesting that
the means of transporting the product
or the product itself while in trans
portation was touched, handled, OBJ
structed or in any manner actually in
terfered with" and that there is no
allegation that the defendants are in
any way engaged in interstate COM
merce."
"The real question is" says the
opinion, whether combination which
undertakes to interfere simultaneously
with both actions is one which directly
affects the transportation of the hats
from the place of manufacture to the
place of sale"

In the appointment of John A. Nell
benny of New Iberia. La, to be civil

welt again has fiouted established pre-
cedent and has shown himself broad
enough to select the man he believes

Mississippi cane brakes and is a close
friend of the chief executive.
Just at the present time the sphinx
in politics is Secretary Shaw. Just
what the secretary of the treasury is
to do when he withdraws from the
cabinet March is difficult to prophesy,
for he refuses to talk. Although he
does not deny that flattering offers
have been made by big financial insti-
tutfons in New York, he looks mysteri-
Gus when his interviewer seeks to learn
further facts. 1t is generally believed
among the elect, however, that the
secretary will return to Iowa and man
age the affairs of a national bank in
his home town of Dennison. 1t is recog-
nized that Mr.. Shaw has not by any
means put aside his presidential ambi-
tions even though his political enemies
control the party machiney of his state.
1t is likely that he will remain where
the lightning may strike his political
rods If it comes his way.

reau of navigation to provide funds

naval officers have been compelled in
the past to entertain a great deal in
appearing off foreign shores, and while
this has been an important part in the
program In cultivating friendly diplo-
matte relations and extending CONNER
cial connections, the officers have been
compelled to meet the extra expendi-
lures out of their own pay Such a
condition is unfair to the service and
is found only in the United States
