NICE, April 6--The Duchess of Marl-
borough is greatly improved in appear
ance and spirits since her visit here.
she often goes over to the Hermitage at
Monte Carlo to dine with the w. X.
Vanderbilts, jr., who have returned
from Paris.
The oliver Belmonts left Beaeulieu
Monday and sailed from Cherbourg on
wednesday; and Thursday the duchess
had a very smart breakfast party at
Ciros, her guests including Lady Essex.
The duchess is looking forward to her
visit home, and it is common talk
among her friends that the duke
strongly opposes her taking the children
across the Atlantic. However. he is
powerless to take any legal steps to
prevent her, and it is not likely he Will
attempt anything more than persua-
sion, as he is sick of the gossip and no.
toriety given his domestic infelicity.
The duchess, it is believed, will spend
the summer at Newport, and has en-
gagged a highly connected French lady
as governess for her children in place
of the tutor appointed by theS duke.
The boys are to take a Shetland pony
with them, while the duchess has
bought a powerful 1907 Mercedes which
is also being shipped to New York.
Mrs. Montagu Ballard, formerly Lady
Blundell Maple, is a good deal with the
duchess, though they were scarcely in
the same set in England.

KEPPEL SISTERS
TO BE PRESENTED
Special Gable to The Herald

Special Cable to The Herald.
LONDON, April 6.-Keppel is name
to conjure with at court, and in May,
when Commander and Mrs. Colin Keep
pei present their two daughters, young
ladies who are already on intimate
terms with the royal family, they are
sure of most charming welcome from
the royal circle.
Marie Henrietta and Melita Keppel
were practically brought up with the
daughters of the late duke and duch-
ess of xe-Coburs+ for while the duke
was prince of Edinburgh and COM
manding the Mediterranean squadron
their parents were in the household of
their royal highnesses.
Since those times and owing partly
to the influence of Sir Harry Keppel,
tie admiral" Captain Colin Keppel has
been made commander of the kings
yacht. Derek Keppel is a favorite
equrry of the prince of Wales and he
and his wife are most popular at Marl-
borough house.
Mrs. George Keppel, aunt of the
Misses Keppel, does not pose as a beau
ty, but her brightness and sense of
humor have won her a high place In
the innermost circle of society.
The popularity of the Keppel family
with the king is shown by the fact
that when he was prince of Wales and
influenced the members list of the
Marlboro club, he chose no less than
six members of the family to belong ia
this, the one club he himself visited
every day when he was in London.

aeroplane touched the ground and was

the strong winds tempt the balloonists

The winds are much disposed to blow

Accordingly a stealthy march was

BRITAIN FEARS
TO BUILD TUBE
ENGLAND DEFEATS PROJECT
FOR CHANNEL TUNNEL
Opposed by Military Men-Regarded
as a Menace In Case of Invasion,
Although Favored by
Merchants
speclal Cable to The Herald.

Special Cable to The Herald.
LONDON, April 6.--There is to be no
channel tunnel. The project is dead, or
at any rate, it has been administered
such a potent soporific as will keep it
asleep for many years to come.
London merchants favored it, espe-
cially dealers in perishable goods, as a
swift means of export and import.
Many sections of the public in London
and the south of England were awaken
| ing to what they considered would be
advantages were the scheme carried
through, but the farther north one went
the more and more strenuous became
the hostility to the tunnel scheme.
The bulk of the military opinion was
against it, and so was the naval. From
all the discussions of the last few
months one impression has gradually
emerged with more dominating distinc-
tiveness-namely, that the channel tun-
mel bill was a scheme for reducing the
present degree of national security OF
Great Britain.
Plan Given Warm Support
1t is admitted that the efforts of the
supporters of the scheme have been
we'll intended, the promoters having in
| cluded some of the firmest supporters
| of the entente cordiale on both sides of
the channel.
Public opinion, as voiced in the press
of the whole country, is that in the
English channel Great Britain possesses
an asset for defensive purposes which
| every continental nation envies, and to
compromise that asset would be rash
unless the country was prepared to
adopt military service on the continen-
tai system-namely conscription.
Another view is that, while there
could be no serious danger of invasion
through this tunnel in the first instance,
it's existence might greatly assist
raiding force landing in England by an
enemy, and at present the disorder of
the British military system gives no as
surance of being able to stop such a
raid as soon as it was attempted.
Worry for People Feared
Consequently the existence of the
channel tunnel, apart from the actual
danger, would be a constant source of
public tremors and of hasty rushes to
spend large sums to little advantage on
special defensive efforts and would be
the greatest help and blessing of those
noXioEs "scare interests" as they are
called on the stock exchange, that in
tests finance and politics.
But there is an alternative scheme
which was indorsed by an act of parlia-
ment at the last session, and a company
whose board of directors includes such
names as Lord Weardale, Sir Charles
Rivers Wilson and Admiral Sir Cyprian
/ Bridge was formed TO carry it out.

CHILD CARRIES BEER
Parents Didn't Know Anything Wrong
in Sending Little Fellow Into
Saloons After Booze.

"I'll go crazyl I'm done for! I'm
done fori'' sobbed Mrs. Ralph Lane
in the rooms of the Walla Walla su-
perior court Saturday afternoon, says
the Union, when Judge Brents stated
that her six-year-old son would be
turned over to Sheriff Havaland for safe
keeping until Monday. Mr.. Lane was
also moved to tears by the or6cr of the
court. and their pretty little S-year-old
daughter joined in the general lamen-
tations, when she saw the way her
mother was weeping.
Mr.. and Mrs. Lane are the parents of
the boy whom they have been in the
hatit of sending frequently to the
First Exchange saloon on East Main
street to purchase beer for Mrs. Lane.
This was noticed on Monday and re-
suited in a summons to appear before
Judge Brents yesterday. The trial
started in the morning. during which
Judge Brents made it very plain that
the parents were to blame for such a
fragrant violation of the law, and that
the saloon keeper was also liable. The
case was continued until afternoon. at
which time Mr.. aud Mrs. Lane, with
their two children, pretty little girl
of 8. and the boy, nice appearing in
telligent looking youngster, who will
not be 8 years old until September, ap-
peared again before the court. They
were neatly dressed and quiet looking,
respectable appearing people.
Mrs. Lane, who was first examined,
stated that she was taking beer regu-
larly on the advice of physicians in
both North Yakima and Pendleton,
where they had resided; that she had
been ill most of the time in Walla
Walla and frequently sens the little
boy for beer, at least two or three
times week, and frequently every
