Uncle joe Cannon is contemplating

Therefore. if he can discover a congenial

will not be long after the adjournment
Of Congress before he will gayly deposit

sail away.
Speaker Cannon is not one of those in

right on the job when II comes to map

SUITOR WATCHED
IN ARNOLD CASE
Pittsburg Millionaire Is I'm.
der Surveillance.

New York. Jan. cS.-The family of Miss
Dorothy Arnold has tried to obtain from
one Of her admirers. George S. Griscom.
jr., now in Florence. Italy. the son Of
George s. Griscom a Pittsburg lawyer
and a relative OF the Lloyd c. and Glenn
ent A. GriscomS, some notion as to her
probable whereabouts.
Lorenzo l.. Armstrong. of the law firm
OF Caravan & Armstrong. who have been
acting for Dorothy's father. Francis r.
Arnold, the perfumery importer, said to-
day that George S. Griscom. jr, had
been placed under surveillance for a
time, because the family could not dis
regard any possible suggestions as to
her reason for leaving home.
Mr.. Griscom. who is a middle-aged club
man in comfortable circumstances, was
one of Miss Arnold's suitors last sum-
mer. After her disappearance, the family
read the letters she had left behind
There were letters from Mr.. Griscom and
two other young men in the girls desk.
1t was considered necessary by Mr.
Arnold and his legal advisers, Francis P.
Garvan. l.. d. Armstrong. and John S
Keith, to place all these men under sur
veilance.
There was not at the time any sus-
picion directed against any individual,
but the circumstances were SO peculiar
that the family, after consulting with its
lawyers. decided that there would be no
injustice toward any of Miss Arnold's
friends if means were taken to obtain
possible information outside the regular
channels.

COUNTESS GIZYCKA
ASKS HER FREEDOM
Daughter of Millionaire Chicago Editor Seeks Divorce
from Austrian Nobleman..

The kidnapping Of the little girl
caused great interest on two conti-
nents. She was found in Russia, and
returned to her mother at the in
stance of the Gar.
Count Gizycka was a naturalized cit
izen Of Russia. and since the action of
the Gear has renowned his allegiance
to that nation and has returned to his
birthplace Hungary-and is
now a resident Of Blanzko, in the prov
ince of Moravia.
Emperor Nicholas II Of Russia as
sisted in the recovery of Felicia after
she had been kidnapped in Paris by her
father. The child was at play on the
street with nurse when the count and
three men drove up in ap automobile
and seized the little girl A coterie of
detectives had been employed by the
count to keep close watch of every
movement of the countess.
The countess agreed to take up her
residence with the count if he would al
low her to have her child. Meetings
were arranged for the countess to see her
daughter in different places in Austria.
but each time she was disappointed, and
finally declared that she would never
live with the count again.
An order. which is said to have later
proved to be a ruse on the part of the
countess, secured the possession of the
child. 1t was signed by the Car. and
requested that the child be turned over
to the mother because of the fact that
the former American Ambassador was
the father of the countess and it would
cause considerable i'll feeling for the
count to retain the child.
The count delivered the child to the
message bearer. and she was turned
over to the countess, who fled to Amer
lea with her father and mother.

Speaker left Washington on the night of

party of Congressman and other persons,
who cruised the West Indies for five
weeks. 1t is said that Mr.. Cannon hadn' I

Chicago, Jan. 2S-The Inflated marriage
of the Count and Countess Gizycka
reached a climax to-day when the for
the late r. w. Patterson, filed divorce
bill against the Austrian nobleman. in
which three women are manned.
Chicago socially was surprised at the
news of the action. as heretofore the
countess. and even her late father. who
charged the count with kidnapping his
daughter Felicia for ransom. denied that
a divorce was desired.
The three women named in the action
are Grace Mueller. Ludwill Lppold, and
Lima kohlmah. ALI are believed to be
residents Of Vienna.
The counts alleged acts of indiscretion
occurred in Vienna last October and No
vember. according to the bill.
The countess seeks to have the custody
and care of her daughter Felicia. but
she says she does not desire a judgment
for alimony, she is possessed of ample
means and property to care for herself
and child.
Countess Gizycka has often been re-
ferred to as Countess Gizycki." This
spelling is incorrect. She is the sister
Of Joseph Medill Patterson, playwright
and author.
The countess has been a resident OF
Chicago and Lake Forest since she left
the count, March 80. 1905. in Paris. Since
residing at Lake Forest. an armed
guard has been maintained on the
premises of the countess residence to
prevent any attempt on the part of the
count to again kidnap Felicia, who is
now five years of age

ADVERTISING TALKS.
WRlTTENBY WILLIAM c. FREEMAN

That is a good thing to re-
member, Mr.. Advertiser.
l heard some time ago of a
business house that was selling
articles that looked like sterling
silverware. If you picked it up
and looked for the name, you
saw the word "STIRLING,"
spelled with So instead of "e."
What would you think of a
merchant who bought this ware
and sold it to his customers a,
genuine silverware at enormous
ly cut prices? Do you think he
can attain any real, lasting sue
cess? Is it not only a question
of time before the public will
lose faith in his statements and
withdraw its trade from him?
A great many people-the ma
jority of us-cannot afford to
buy luxurious things, but all of
us want to know what we are
buying whether it is REAL sill
yerware. whether it is cotton and
wool, whether it is ALL WOOL.
The only thing to do in adver-
Using is to TELL THE TRUTH
ABOUT THE GOODS OF
FERED. That's all anybody
wants.,

PEACE IN WEST VIRGINIA.
Democratic state Senators Agree ts
Republican, Proposition.

Charleston, w. Va, Jan. %.-Practicany
all the Democratic State senators to-day
agreed to a proposition submitted by ff-
teen Republicans who refused to enter the
upper house whereby the Republicans will
take their seats and allow the body to
be organized.
The final stumbling block was the
presidency of the senate, as the Demo-
Gratis had practically yielded on the other
points in contention. The Democrats
were willing to concede the presidency if
Senator England. the Republican caucus
choice was not elevated to the chair The
Republicans then agreed to let the Demo-
Gratis select any Republican for president
Of the senate.
BY the terms of the agreement the leg
islature will again elect United States
Senators either on the coming Tuesday or
Wednesday or week from these dates
as the Democrats may elect. Both Chill
ton and Watson desire that this action
be taken.
Gov. GlaSScOck tonight vehemently de-
MED that he has authorized any state
ment to the effect that he would call out
the militia to prevent any attempt on the
part of the Democrats of the State SEN
ate to arrest the Republicans of that
body.
