FUNERAL MIXUP
Questions of Precedence at the
Fuller Burial in Chicago
Start Dignified Squabble
Supreme Court Members and
Hughes and Deneen Finally
Given Places of Honor
[Speeial Dispoich 10 The Call

CHICAGO, July SIN a dignihed
way there was quiet mixup over who
should have the position Of honor at
the funeral service of the late Chief
Justice Fuller. which was held in Chi
csgo today. The committee of Chicago
men who had the arrangements in
charge finally smoothed out the wrin-
kles and the conventions were care
fully preserved, but the dignities Of
the members Of the highest court in
the land almost received a terrible
shock.
When the arrangements were being
made it was decided that OF course
the members Of the late justices fam
fly should lead the procession into and
out Of the church and should occupy the
first carriages following the hearse.
That was all right until the members
OF the supreme court appeared. Then
when the matter of arrangements was
discussed it was said that of course
the justices would have the position Of
honor, q place that all custom would
determine would be theirs.

cago committee.
The question of precedence was
raised again and then the members Of
the family were seen and so finally 1t
was all arranged that the justices
should be at the head.
Where shall Governor Hughes Of
New York be placed?' next asked the
committee. Then there was a long de-
bate for Governor Hughes is to be the
next chief justice. OF course, he must
have a place ahead. So the justices
greed that Governor Hughes should be
with them.
But il viii never do to put Governor
Deneen back Of Governor Hughes" was
the next conclusion of the committee.
But il was hardly probable that Gov
ernon Deneen was to be connected in
the near future with the justices. This
made something Of a stew, which was
finally settled by the governor of Illi-
nois taking his place with Governor
Hughes and the justices. And so they
appeared at the church and in the pro-
cession which proceeded to the ceme-
tery.

William John Lydston, seventh earl
of Poulett, arrived here yesterday. ac-
companied by his countess. They were
passengers on the liner Chiyo Maru
and are returning to London after en-
joying for the first time in their lives
the experience of travelling in the kind
of luxury that only money can buv.
Incidentally. the titles of lord and ladv
are still new enough to be ranked as
novelties by them both.
SON OF THIRD WIFE
William John is the only son of the
third wife Of the sixth earl of Poulett.
At the time William John married her
his wife was carrying a spear at the
Gayety music hall. She was Miss Syl-
via Lillian Storey, the daughter of a
scene painter.
William John had a close shave for
the title. His father, the sixth earl.

announced to his brother officers that
he was going out on the street and
that he would marry the first woman
he met He kept his word The lady
was Elizabeth Lavinia Newman. the
daughter of a Landport pilot, who lived
near the barracks where the earrs reg
iment was quartered few months
after the wedding the stork caused
some confusion in British society by
leaving baby boy at the Poulett
home.
This incident was followed by
separation and divorce The son of
the first Lady Poulett was brought up
by his mothers relatives as the Wis
count Hinton. The earl refused to-
recognize him, and by way of forcing
settlement the young man invaded
the streets of London with a hand
organ and wearing a placard on which
he announced himself as the rightful
heir of his mothers husband, the earl
of Poulett.
ORGAN GRINDER CRUSHED
When the earl died the organ grinder
laid claim to the estate, and made so
good a case that the son of the third
wife had to lay his claims before the
house of lords. That august body de-
cided few months ago that, although
born in wedlock, the organ grinder had
no claim to his fathers title or estate
and that William John Lydston was the
only true earl of Poulett.

And now, dear people, comes the
great worlds series. The pennant
races having been decided two weeks
since, the fanatics have had ample
opportunity In which TO make their
selections Of probable winners. Dill

with net result that the average fan
doesn't know any more about II today
than he did a month ago. Neither
does the expert.
We have heard OF the superior
pitching Of the Athletics, OF the super
Tor catchers owned by the Cubs. OF
the relative strength OF nerve pos

OF stun which may or may not have
a bearing on the ultimate result.
