OPENING OF HARVARD HOUSE
AMBASSADOR REID TO OFFIC-
late OCTOBER g.
House at Stratford-on-Avon, Where
Founders Mother Lived, Gift
to the University.

LONDON, Saturday, September 1.-THE
first public function which will be under
taken by Whitelaw Reid on his return to
England will be the opening Of the Har-
ward house in Stratford-on-Avon. The
date Of the function has been fixed by the
ambassador himself for October 6, so that
the ceremony may be coincident with the
installation Of DIR. Lowell as the new
president of Harvard University.
The Harvard house was the home OF
Katherine Rogers. the mother Of John
Harvard. and from it's threshold she wen,
Southwark. From this union 'sprang the
founder Of Harvard University.
It is chiefly to Miss Marie Corelli, the
novelist. that the gift of Harvard house
to America is due. She long cherished
the idea that the Stratford-on-A Avon
dwelling. where John Harvard's mother
lived, and where ne himself must often
have stayed in childhood. should belong to
Harvard University. Miss Corelli was
strongly supported in her scheme by Ed
ward Norris Of Chicago, who bought the
house and intrusted Miss Corelli with Its
repair, and also its furnishing in the
style of the Harvard period. The work
to Harvard University. 1t was accepted
and is to be held in perpetuity, under q
body of trustees.
The house is perhaps the most beautiful
sixteenth century building existing in
Stratford-on-Avon. Miss Corelli has re-
moved all modernities and allowed the
house to show itself as it Is and as it was
in the days Of John Harvard. No new
material has been put into the building.
but the old timbers have been fully dis
closed and carefully preserved. 1t is a
far more perfect specimen of a sixteenth
cepf1lry abode than ShakeSOpareS birth
place.
After the opening ceremony by Mr.. Reid
the house will be open to the public. and
will be available to travelling Americans
for use as resting place in Stratford.
On the day Of the opening Miss Corelli
hundred friends at luncheon at her resi-
dence, Mason Croft. A feature of the &C.
+casion will be the singing of THE Star
Spangled Banner by Nine. Ada Crossley.

ARTISTIC AND UNIQUE.
Kann's Fall Opening Will Attract
Many to Inspect Fashions.

S. kann, Sons & Co. believe that
Americas monarch is the woman Of
fashion, and. acting under this belief.
have appointed themselves prime min
listers to this mighty queen. Agents of
the firm have been searching the fashion
able centers of Europe for the most
artistic and most unique of all that the
world has to offer. and for three days
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday-will
conduct a magnificent display of every
thing that fashion demands.
Hats from the ateliers of Paris-the
milliner to Alexandra has contributed
to this coming display an immense pic
ture hat of velvet in the new shade
sunset blue" trimmed with a striking
wreath. There will also be hats of the
Louis XIV and XIV periods. displaying
great quantities of gold, lace and gold
net.
In the new suits there are two fabrics
which seem to have the lead. Rough
dia gonals or semi-rough weaves divide
honors with the smooth. chiffon-finished
goods Handsome, severely and plainly
tailored suits Of the rough and semi
rough goods are beautiful in their per-
lection. The costumes for dressy oc-
casions show much skill in the braider's
handiwork. They are made of the best
broadcloth, in all the new shades anG
trimmings. Many of them have touches
of gold in the embroidery.

Motormen and Conductors on
Strike in Two Cities.
WAGES MATTER OF DISPUTE
System in Omaha and Council
Bluffs Out of Commission.
EVE OF PRESIDENTS ARRIVAL
Authorities Anxious Lest His Visit
Be Marred by Lack Of
Facilities.

OMAHA, Neb.. September 1S.-The
street car system Of Omaha and Coun-
Gil Bluffs was unexpectedly put out
of commission today by a strike of nearly
500 motormen and conductors. The tie
up was not complete, but service on every
line was so seriously crippled that no at
tempt was made to run cars on schedule
time. Many of the lines did not get cars
started until the middle Of the afternoon,
and officials Of the company decided to
abandon efforts at service tonight. The
result of this decision was that every car
line in the city was out of commission at
Z o'clock tonight.
The strike resulted from failure OF
the employees of the street car company
to reach an agreement with regard to
wages, conditions and hours of employ
ment The walkout came SO suddenly
that the company was in no way prepared
for it. and was precipitated at time
when Omaha was preparing to entertain
the President of the United States and
several national conventions of fraternal
organizations and other associations.
President Taft's Expected Visit.
President Taft will arrive in the city
Monday afternoon and the arrangements
committee is making extraordinary ef-
forts to prevent any occurrence which
might mar his visit to the city.
Only one arrest resulted from the strike
| today. A union motorman who was rid
| ing on q Dodge street car created dis
turbance and an officer who was riding
nm the car arrested him. He was released
on his own recognizance.
President Wattles of the railroad compa-
nv declares that the strike was brought at
this particular time with view to en-
barrassing the company on the eve OF tne
arrival in the city of the President of
the United States and when number
of large conventions were about to meet
in Omaha He said the company had
prepared itself for the emergency and al
ready had men on their way mere 10 take
the strikers places. He said the service
in the future would be maintained on the
.'open-shop' basis.

HIS PULSE FELT BY WIRELESS
YARN FOR WHICH L1GHTSH1F
KEEPER SHOULD vOUCH.
Nevertheless Sick Man Is Cured by
Means Of Prescription Flashed
Through Coherer.

Capt. Dean, master Of the lightship
which has warned countless vessels away
from the treacherous waters of Nam
tucket shoals, is probably the very first
man to have a doctor feel his pulse by
wireless telegraphy. The story as 1t
comes from the stanch little vessel off
the Massachusetts coast gives to the
world a glimpse Of an entirely new field
for the wireless at sea-
As every one knows. life aboard a light
ship is far from cheering at the best.
The government has placed the ships at
points which seem to be favorite spots
for the brewing OF storms. and there is
scarcely a week that tremendous waves
do not batter the little ships as they
tug with all their might at the stout
anchor chains. The cabins are small,
and altogether a lightship is no place
for a sick man, and a mighty hard place
for a family physician to reach:
While aboard his ship on the Nantucket
shoals Capt. Dean fell i'll. Hardy as he
was, the constant strain OF the arduous
duties began to wear down his iron con-
stitution and he showed signs or quick
breakdown He took to his bunk. and
the first mate doctored him from the
medicine chest which the government
furnishes to every lightship. but Capt.
Dean was in need of little better at
tention than a seaman and medicine
chest could give, and failed to improve.
Happy Thought.
There was a man in the crew who re-
membered the famous &c Q D. mes
sage of Jack Binns. and he suggested
that a physician be consulted by wire
less. No sooner said than the wireless
operator began calling the Naval Hos
pital at Newport. Green flashes played
around the poles of his instrument, and
he kept pressing the sending key until
he received a reply.
Naval Hospital, Newport"
Yes
This is the Nantucket shoals lightship.
Capt. Dean is down and out"
Then the clever operator flashed full
description of the captains symptoms.
One Of the physicians at the hospital
took the message and flashed back a
prescription to be filled from the ship s
medicine chest. Every day the wireless
conversation was kept up and directions
sent to the sick man.
And finally he climbed out of his bunk
and wired to Newport: Thanks. I'm
on deck again with clean bill of
health"

WILL APPEAL TO LEGISLATURE
LEAGUES PLANS
IN VIRGINIA THIS WINTER.
To Ask for Measure to Permit an
Expression of Opinion on
Statewide Prohibition.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

special dispatch TO The Star.
RICHMOND, Va, September 1S.-Repre-
sentative &. Bascom Slemp of the repub-
lican state committee made a statement
here few days ago to the effect that the
officers OF the Anti-Saloon League had an
nounced thct they would go to the legis-
lature H., xt winter and ask that a meas
ure be enacted providing for an express
sion OF opinion by the voters of the state
on the question Of statewide prohibition.
He said that it was the intention to have
the vote taken during the next year on the
issue, and If the majority of the voters
favored the scheme the league would de-
mand that the legislature that is elected
in 1911 enact q bill that would prohibit
the sale or manufacture Of hQuor In the
state.
Efforts Were made to get an expression
of opinion from some of the party lead
ers. but none Of them would discuss the
measure. This afternoon, however. J. A.
Taylor who is in Roanoke In the interest
of the local option fight now on in that
city. confirmed the statement made by
Mr.. Slemp of the reported intention of
the league and expressed surprise that
any one should have been expecting any
thing else.
1t was stated some time ago by Speaker
Byrd and other men Of the anti-liquor
forces that there would be no legislation
on the liquor question this winter. and 1t
is now contended that the proposition to
allow the voters of the state to pass on
the question is not legislation. but merely
affording an opportunity to the people to
legislation will only follow the voice of
the people.
The belief is that the state will go dry
if there is a straight fight on the subject.

Funeral services for Bishop J. S. Mills
of the eastern district United Brethren
Church who died at his home in Ann
vile. Pa. Thursday, will be held in his
home city tomorrow afternoon. Rev.
Charles E. Fultz, pastor of the United
Brethren Church at North Capitol and
r streets. this city, will attend the
funeral.
AS Bishop Mills was in charge of the
United Brethren churches of this sec
ton and frequently visited friends here,
there is much regret among the men,
bers of that denomination at his de-
mise. He was born February %. 1s4S.
near Plymouth. Washington county.
Ohio. His parents were Lewis and Ann
Mills. In his early life he was very
frail and physically unable to seek the
usual educational. advantages Of his COM
munity. With the determination to win
in his makeup and an aggressive spirit
to master difficulties. he grew to be a
leader and educator.
He joined the United Brethren Church
at the age of seventeen; began his min
istry at eighteen: was elected presiding
elder at thirty-two, and was chosen
bishop of his church at forty-five. In
this high Office he served continuously
since 1893. and at the time of his death
was the senior active bishop.
In the fall and winter of 1907 and 1908
he made a tour Of the mission stations of
his church in Africa, Japan. China and
the Philippine Islands. Returning in Ill
health, caused by tropical fever. he
never fully recovered his strength and,
1t Is declared, gave his life as a sacri-
flee foro the Gospel and the extension of
his Masters kingdom"
He was twice married. His first wife
was Miss Sarah A. Metzgar. to whom he
was welded in 1870. She died In 1874,
and in 1875 he married Miss Mary
Kiester, who, with four children, survives
him.
Bishop Mills was an author of note
and regarded as an authority on the
sociological problems Of the day.

SOMEBODY TOOK HIS WATCH.
Visitor From Richmond Inhospita-
bly, Treated While Viewing Races.

R. L. Shepherd. visitor to Washing
ton from Richmond, had his pocket picked
yesterday afternoon while he was view
ing the boat races from the. north end of
the Long bridge.
Shepherd told the police he suspects a
middle-aged man. apparently country
man, who was close to him in the crowd.
During the pushing and showing he felt a
tug at one of his vest pockets. He thought
nothing more of the incident until later.
when he tried to pull out his watch and
found 1t missing.
I'm inclined to believe this fellow got
