About Friendship for
Each Other.

flirting again, IS evident from develop
ments of the past week
Foraker Is cut In q long authorized
interview today in which he comments
on remarks made by Taft at the dinner
given the latter by re Ohio Congress
sion delegation last Monday night.
Taft took occasion TO say come nice
things about the Ohio Senator, refer
ring particularly TO the fact that il was
Foraker. when governor Of the State.
who gave him his start on his judicial
career by appointing him TO the superior
court bench in Cincinnati 1t was the
recollection Of this Incident said Taft,
that often kept him from saying acri-
monious things about Foraker.
Friends Many Years.
The Senator, in his interview. says
he is not surprised that Taft thinks
kindly Of him. as they have been friends
for many years. He then proceeds to
chIde Taft in a sorrowfuI, fatherly sort
OF way for permitting his managers 10
stir up such a political mess in Ohio.
Foraker, for the first time, admits
that efforts have been made by Sena-
tor Crane and other friends of both
men to bring about an understanding,
which have proven futile.
The Senator further makes 1t clear
that he win receive sympathetlcally any
advances TO be made in the future
from the other side, looking to aet-
Element Of the squabble, and goes to
some pains to show why II Is not pos
sible for him 10 take the drst step.

YOUNG DIPLOMAT
SHOWERED GIFTS
ON NANICURIST
Friends of ManuelUgarte
Make Efforts to Sup
press Details of
Story.

Friends or Manuel Ugarte. secretary
OF the Honduran legation, now con
nned in Bellevue Hospital, New York,
are making every effort TO keep secret
the erratic conduct OF the youug man
while confined IL a Washington los
pital, but IL has leaked ont through
frieEds Of the attractive manicurist 10
whom he is reported engaged that he
was also lavish in his gifts here just
prior to his departure.
As published ia The Times yesterday,
Ugarte. before departing for New York
against the wishes OF his relatives Tues
day visited the jewelry store OF Berry &
Whi-mOre and ordered q magnificent
ring for his supposed 1iancee, Miss
Grace Irwin, formerly employed il a
downtown maRicuring establishment.
Inquiry was made at the jewelry
store as to the reasons why the ring
was brought back after being sent 10
The Washington Hospital in which
Cgarte was a patient
Relatives Hush Matters Up.
we have been asked by the rcla-
tives OF the young man not To saw any
thing about the matter" was the re-
ply. 1T was a confidential transaction"
That the young lady in question docs
not wear the ring today, however, is
attributed to the fact that the secre-
taTys uncle, Minister Ugarte, refused TO
pay any more large bills for the errarlC
nephew, and also that his mauicurlst-
hancee declined TO accept gifts unpaid
for. A set OF sable fuTs are said 70
have met a similar fate.
ThereUpon. Ugarte is said to have
threatened that he would go 10 New
York ana purchase diamonds with which
he would shower his prospective bride
Accordingly, he slipped away from the
hospital and his relatives. and was, it
IS reported, busily engaged in ordering
diamonds when mis- uncle located him
and had him confined in Bellevue.
Lavish With Presents.
Ugarte has made other gifts to the
young manicurist whom he professed
to love with all the arLor Of his Span
ish heart, and these gifts have been
PAID for. In fact, CgaTte gained the
reputation of being q liberal spender,
and the girl who received his attentions
was considered fortunate by her friends
who knew Of the love affair between
them, only last Christmas, Uga~je Is
said to have given her an expensive
manicure set, in addition to smaller
gifts and TemeElbraEces at odd times.
Efforts have been made 10 see Miss
Irwin at her home, but her mother de-
cllnes TO allow her 10 make statement
Miss Irwin has recently resigned her
position, and one of Ter friends SAYS
that the date for the wedding has been
tentatively agreed upon for JUNE
Whether UgaTte's conduct in New York
viii postpone the nupuaiS remains 70 be
seen. Inquiry at the establishment
where Miss Irwin formerly worked
evoked the reply hat the young people
were evidently very much in love and
that UgaTte especially made no secret
Of his InfatUatiOn.
Since CEarte reached New York he
is said To have written his fiauCee and
IL is understood that his visit 70 the
metropolis was really for the purpose
of purchasing her gifts which his IN
Gle. the minister, declined 10 pay for
here.
