Count Gives Cold
Shoulder to Late
Kings Friends
Especial Gable 10 The Call

LONDON. Aug. EFT has only
just become known that in his
last hours King Edwards
thoughts were of his old friends.
Sir Ernest Cassel was among the
last to see Edward in his con-
scious moments. It was on the
morning of his death. and the
kings last and only words to
the famous financier were to look
after and make proper provision
for Mrs. George Keppel.
This has undoubtedly been
done, but Notwithstanding Sir
Ernest's continued close friend
ship and support. Mrs. Keppel
and, for that matter. Cassel him
self, are no longer shining lights
in royal circles. In fact, all
members of that exclusive set
nOtables who enjoy the favor of
the present king and queen
know of their majestys' dislike
Of the Keppel group. Taking
heed, they have cold shouldered"
the latter, with the result that
in. the few social affairs which
have taken place during the
period of mourning Mrs. Keppel
has been conspicuous by her alb
sence.
1t is also said that Sir Thomas
Upton and Mrs. Willie James are
among others who have fallen
under the ban of royal dis
pleasure.
Society is intensely interestd in
the social future of Mrs. Keppel
A few months ago she completed
the decorations of a magnificent
house she purchased in Gros-
venor street. Now comes the an
nouncement that she will not oc-
cupy it next season, but has left
it to Mrs. Miller Graham of Cali
fornia, hostess who had such
success during the last two sea-
sons.

Violation of Law

Just how slaring Dowdy's violation
of the law was is pointed out by the
attorney generals ofice in reference
to the political code of the state. All
county officers are required by law to
make an aff1davit the first Monday in
each month before drawing their salary
that they have settled all accounts
with the county auditor and treasurer
This is made mandatory by section
1892. The state law also requires that
the county clerk of each county set
tie every three months with the state
controller for the hunting license ac-
count. The fact that a county officer
settles an account with the state or
county on demand, as stated by Webb,
strongly suggested embezzlement Why
no prosecution was made by Scott was
not made clear to the attorney gen

sion is made. the evidence is accepted

is keeping in strict retirement at the
hotel Algonquin, gave out an interview
by proxy denying fatty the report in
circulation along Broadway today that
she had broken her enga cement with
Heinze.
Please say there isn't word .of
truth in it," said Mrs. Hendersons
proxy, woman friend, after a con-
sultation. Mrs. Henderson has no
idea of repudiating Mr.. Heinze at this
time"
How does Mrs. Henderson view the
attacks made upon her fance by Mrs
French?' was asked.
Mrs. Henderson thinks it would not
be good taste to make any comment at
this time
1t was denied that Heinze, and Mrs.
Henderson already had been married.
When a reporter asked when the mar
riage was to be Mrs. Henderson replied
the date had not been fixed.

remark of Mrs. French today. Hes
