BIG PLANS UPSET BY
POINT OF ETIQUETTE
DepriVes Governor of Funds
for School

LONDON, Jan. ga ridiculous in
sistence on etiquette has just caused
the upsetting of the plans of certain
Anglo-Indian governor. His excellency
had long been DESTROYS of immortaliz-
ing his name in India by the erection
in his capital of a splendid series of
collegiate buildings, and in response to
his public appeals a well-known Parsee
gentleman had privately offered hiA eX-
ceilency the necessary donation of ten
laos of rupees (nearly $950,000) for the
purpose. The generosity of the rich
Parsee community in this way is ureX-
ampled.s The donor, in the ordinary
course. received an invitation to his
excellency's levee, and went dressed in
the regulation frock coat and trousers,
but wearing the black astrachan fez
now often affected by well-to-do Par
sees.
At the entrance to the scene of the
levee he was informed by the official
who represents what at the court of
st. James is called the court tailor"
that he could not be admitted unless
he appeared in an English silk hat, as
he was otherwise attired in European
costume.
An orthodox Zoroastrian never ap-
pears in public indoors or out without
his hat, and so the generous Parsee
had to quit the scene of the leYee. He
promptly wrote to the governor can
ceiling his offer of the ten laos, and
for the time being the collegiate build
ings exist only on paper. The gov
ernor's hopes Of characterization are
also not likely to be realized

CHARCOT AND HIS
PARTY FAR SOUTH
Sensation That Will Rival the Feat
of Peary Is Confidently
Expected by French
Scientists

Darts, Jan. 23.-France hopes to
have the honor of discovering the
south pole, and mahy scientific
explorers and geographers believe that
the feat will be accomplished before
Lieutenant Shackleton and his party
have got under way.
France is confidently expecting in the
near future to spring a polar sensation
that will rival the Peary and Cook cpl
sodes. DIR. Jean Charcot, the intrepid
explorer, who sailed with a French eX-
petition from Rio de Janeiro on Octo-
Der %, 1908, intending to penetrate to
the south pole, has not been heard from
since April II, 1909. He was then at
Deception island, and since the begin
ming of the antarctic summer he has
had ample time to dash across the fro
zen plateau that lies between that point
and the south pole, providing that such
a thing is possible.
The Charcot expedition was the best
equipped that ever started for the ant
arctic zone. His ship, the Pourquoi
Pas (Why Not?) is a stronger vessel
than the Roosevelt, in which Peary ne
gotiated the north pole, and his party
is composed almost entirely of men ex-
perienced in polar exploration
Dr. Charcot conducted a similar eX-
petition in 1908, remaining in the ant
arctic circle for fifteen months and
making valuable explorations and sur
veys in the interior of Graham Land.
That expedition had sadly romantic
side, for it was announced that DR..
Charcot was making the perilous trip
broken hearted over differences with
his wife, who was the petted and
ia pF
Nine. Charcot had been the wife of
Leon Daudet, son of Alphonse Daudet,
and he and Charcot fought duel over
her. DIR. Charcot is one of the ablest
scientists in France and a man of re-
markable daring. 1t is firmly believed
in scientific circles that he has already
discovered the south pole.

NATI0NALISTS HAVE
POWER TO MAKE OR
UNMAKE GOVERNMENT

DUBLIN, Jan. 23.-The situation ere
ated by the British elections is one OF
no little difficulty for Nationalist lead
ers. On the one hand they probably
have it in their power to make or I'M
make any government dependent upon
the new house of commons for exist
ence; on the other their experience in
the home-rule parliament of 1902 con-
vinces them that measures in the di-
rection of a national self government
for Ireland must have the support OF
an adequate British majority if they
are to be carrier successfully.
Hence John Redmond, leader of the
Nationalist, has expressed the wish
that the Liberals may have an indie
pendent majority to overcome the
house of lords Veto and such a ma
jority is regarded here as essential.
Another source of difficulty is the
position of the Irish party in relation
to the budget. Although Ireland, on
the whole has benefited financially by
measures of the recent Liberal gov
eminent, there are features of the
budget to which Irish opinion takes
strong exception. Yet to insist upon
the amendment of these proposals, it is
said, would be justifying the referen-
dunn challenged by the peers, while to
accept the budget unamended might
expose the Irish party to attack from
those wishing to create trouble for the
party in Ireland.
Conditions, therefore, seem to call for
great tact on the part of the Irish
leaders. A solution may be found in
the removal of provisions Objectionable
to the Irish from the coming years
budget, and the concentration of all the
popular parties on the veto question.
When that question is settled the
Irish question, Nationalist leaders as
sert, must assume an immediate inn
portance, and the party will then be
in a position to insist that it shall be
dealt with on the large and liberal
principles of Glandstone.

YOUNG GIRL, WORRIED
BY THRILLING PROBLEM,
TRIES TO KILL SELF
Ashamed Because Little Brother Was
Quicker with Figures Than Her
self, Child Seeks to End
Trouble in Death

ST. LOUIS, Jan. 23.-Failure to solve
a problem in arithmetic so preyed on
the mind of 13-year-old Minnie Hinkle,
a pupil at the Washington school, that
she tried to kill herself in her home,
4S14A Easton avenue, by swallowing
carbolic acid.
IF a man earns SIS a month, what
is his salary for year," This is the
problem which drove Minnie Hinkle to
seek death.
For the first time this year Minnie
brought her arithmetic home from
school Thursday evening. When school
was out Minnie usually ran gayly TO
her home. But the volume she car
ried Thursday evening had a depress-
ing effect on Minnie.
1t was commented upon at Minnie's
home. Minnie's mother noticed it and
tried to encourage the child, and An
drew A5ley, her stepfather, when he
reached home was also quick to notice
the arithmetic. Even 5-year-old
jesse her half-brother, noticed it.
1t was Jesses perception that cut
Minnie most keenly. Jesse can draw
pictures and solve problems. With a
great show of reluctance and an
abashed countenance Minnie declared
to the family circle that there was
problem in the book which the teacher
said she had to solve before going
back to school Friday.
Nothing more was said until after
dinner, for which Minnie had little ap-
petite. But when the chairs had been
moved back from the table Minnie
took her book, pencil and tablet with
determination.
For nearly an hour Minnie labored
and then the marks on the tablet COM
menced to be blurred by tears, and
the girls head, with her hair falling
over her forehead. lay upon the table.
Make it out yet, Minnie?" asked
Andrew Akley.
The sorrowful face which looked up
at Akley told plainly that she had
not made it out"
"Oh, shame on you, Minnie, crying,
and can't do that little sum. Give me
your pencil and I'll do it for you. Now
watch me-" said Akley, as he started
to figure out what he'd get in year
if he were getting SIS month.
why, Minnie exclaimed Akley,
"I'll bet your little brother can do that
sum, and he's not old enough to go to
school yet Here, Jesse, show your
hi gsister Minnie how to do her arith
metic."
Jesse jumped to the rescue with
alacrity. Jesse found the answer for
Minnie but he didn't find the answer
that. Minnie was looking for. Min
MES heart was at work on a prob
iem-not what a man earns in a year,
but why the other children at school
and Jesse at home could do the artih-
metic and she couldn't.
Minnie worked on the second prob
lem nearly all night before she thought
al,a 19 in
hung up on the nail in the wall of her
bedroom. The bottle contained car
bolic acid.
Mrs. Al5ley, her mother, was awak-
ened by Minnie staggering into her
bedroom at a. m. and pulling at the
bed clothes, The childs throat and
mouth were so burned by the acid that
she could not speak. Detecting the
acid fumes. Mrs. Akley aroused her
husband, who summoned an ambu-
lance to take the girl to the city hos
pital.

Congressman DENLY Says the Repub

Detroit, Sept. 15.-Congressman
Edwin DENLY, member of the Balling-
er-Pinchot investigating committee,
expressed the conviction here today in
an interview that Secretary Ballinger
has not been guilty of corruption or
breach of trust and defined 'insur-
gency" as the expression of Republi-
can principles in such a form as to
appeal to the prejudices of the people.
Il would have preferred the orderly
method of having our conclusions sub
mitted first to congress" said Con-
gresham DENLY, who had just re-
turned from the committees meeting.
in Chicago. but since a minority of
the committee has given-out a report,
the usual custom has been broken.
why should we blink at the sit
uation in the Republican party? Con-
ditions are grave in the extreme. The
party is divided within itself. Insur-
gent Republicans are publicly advo-
eating the defeat of sitting Republi-
cans who are up for reelection ana
the substitution of Republicans bear
ing a different banner. insurgency is
spreading rapidly and the election of
the IS per cent of the party in the
house by the so called regulars wing
of the party is increasingly doubtful
and difficult.
Some of the men already defeated
are the best blood and brains of the
party and their places will be hard to
defeated because they refuse to dis
card the name Republican that has
stood sixty years for the most progress
sive and enlightened legislation and
assume the name of insurgent' which
means nothing
