LONDON, April 28.-Outdoing
her rival, Mrs Bradley Martin, Mrs.
Potter Palmer of Chicago has real
lied the cherished ambition of her
social life.
She has entertained King Ed
ward.
She was host to his majesty at
Biarritz, and now the doors of the
most exclusive social circles in
England will swing to her touch.
To carry out her program of en-
pertaining the king, rumor says
without verification-that Mrs. Pal
mer paid a royal favorite $4,000 to
persuade the king to accept her in
vitation.
1t has been an open social secret
for many years that Mrs. Palmer
desired to get the king under her
hospitable roof. She failed repeat
edly, but the kings favorite grew
to enjoy more and more the balls
and dinners she gave in Hampden
house and finally the honor of din
ing the king was hers.
Mrs. Palmer was not alone in her
efforts to win royal favor. Mrs.
Bradley Martin was close com.
petitor and the smart set gossips
often amused themselves by wager
ing on the question of who would
be first to dine the king

CLAIM TITLE TO

EVERETT, April ga quit
claim deed filed for record convey

large portion of the busiest bust

forerunner of extensive and expen-

George Fowler, son and heir of J.

The deed rests upon supposed de-

Louis Orsie and Freddie Scaler
jailed yesterday afternoon for an
offense against the dignity and
peace of this city which in
enormity is the limit, almost.
Yesterday Jimmy the Turk was
reciting to Fred and Louie how the
other night he let loose lot of
"Cachew" in the Star moving pic
ture show. Now, Fred ami Louie
were bent on going to the Pantages
and delayed long enough to load
up with a lot of the "sneeze dope
the Turk told them about. There
by hangs the tale of not only the
pinch of the two boys, but the ex-
IRENE humiliation of actors and
several hundred people.
The house was in semi-darkness.
This was the opportunity:
"Getta ia sneeze?" calculated
Freddie.
Yes"
Both boys then rolled their pro-
grams into funnel shapes, loaded
the "Cachew" into them and blew,
just blew quietly through the fun
nels. Soon a thin line of white,
dust-like mixture permeated the
air. Those nearest to the arch
conspirators got red in the face
trying to hold it back, but it was
no use, and when it did come it was
all the louder and more surprising
on that account. A fat man show
ed his appreciation by bowling
"Cachew-ew! Ca-ca-a-a! (All
>over)
A girl who didn't know where to
hang her merry widow hat next
took up the refrain and "cachewed
for further orders. At first it was
great sport to the audience and ev-
eryone laughed.
Then everybody began to sneeze.
"Cachews" in various keys and
depth of tone and force could be
heard all over the house.
Some warblers who were on the
stage continued TO sing nightly in
order to be heard above the sneez-
ing. They didn't know but what all
the fun was perpetrated for the pur-
pose of causing CONSERVATION of
their notes. So, at all hazards, such
a combination should not be and
the warblers sang dandy. The
bass started the first bum notes.
He was going along nicely, in per-
feet time and tune, way down deep,
when he felt his nostriis begin to
twitch, then, "Cachew! Wow-ow
VOW, ca-ca-ca-chew-ew-ew."
Imagine all that coming from a
bass singer and you will have a
mental impression of the roar of
a lion and the explosion that wreck
ed the Maine, all combined.
But Freddie and Louie were hav-
Ing so much fun over it all, and it
was noticed there they were not
sneezing, that suspicion was
aroused. One of the ushers saw
them storing something away and

BY STUART MAGICIAN

CHICAGO, April 2S.-They have
just completed the plans for the in
terror arrangements of the national
republican convention at the Coli
scum in June. The architects and
the fellows at. the head of the local
committee would like to keep them
secret, but here you have them
with diagram.
1t is expected that there will be
something like 100000 alto
gether within the confines of Chi
cago about convention time. Ev-
erybody in town is figuring on go
ing, and so Chicago wanted $4,000
seats. There will be only 11,167,
and Of course when this fact be-
comes known there will be a most
prodigious howl.
There was talk of getting the ex-
ira 5000 seats in new gallery, but
mighty and enterprising Chicago
looked at the dollars and cents and
backed out.
The plans provide 1000 seats
about the middle of the hall on the
main floor for the alternates-good
souls! Another huge block of
/, 1850 seats further front is for the
delegates. In front of these again,
and elevated on two and a half
foot platform on either side of the
speakers platform, are 416 seats
reserved for the press. In the mid

NEW YORK, April 28.-A sensa.

prosecuting attorney in the hearing
against District Attorney Jerome
when he produced a trunk full of
vouchers which he declared will
show that practically every court

There are over 5000 vouchers
and show an expenditure of over
100000. Some items read:
Expenses with court officers aft

Most of the 100000 was received
by court employees and jurors and

BOYCOTT KILLS
BIG JAP FIRM

HONG KONG, April 2S.-The
Chinese boycott drew first blood
in the struggle with Japan when it
compelled the Oriental Steamship
Co., a Japanese boycotted concern,
to suspend operations entirely. The
company ran line of steamers to
South American ports, but since
the boycott could neither get pas
sengers or cargo.
This suspension may force Japan
to make good the threat to use
military force to compel China to
break UP the boycott.
