The convention took up the question of the at
utude displayed oy proprietors of certain public
places In discriminating against the uniform of the
army. the navy and the marine corps. One speaker
spoke of the dsrepute into which the uniform
had fallen in some Instances and referred partcu-
larry to 4 barber shop in Philadelphia where one
OF the BARRIERS wore the uniform of a lieutenant In
the navy and another that of a lieutenant of the

Indian Princes Jewels.

When the steamship Arabia arrived
at Tilbury, England, recently, four
cases of undistingulshed appearance
were handed over to four men en-
ployed by tourist agents. Each man
guarded his case with particular care,
never releasing his hold upon it dur
ing the train journey to town.
On arrival at Liverpool Street sta
tion the four men, each hugging his
charge, entered a van. sat on their
cases, and were driven to Ludgate cir
Gus, where the cases were immediate
ly consigned to the safes.
The mysterious boxes contained the
hereditary jewels of the Maharajah of
Bikaneer, who arrived in London a
short time ago, The Jewels, which
are valued at about 925,000, were
guarded In India by an armed escort.
