London.-It Ia quite a common thing
nowadays for titled folks to go on tho
stage. The latest one to adopt this
profession is the Hon. Flora sackviiie-
West. daughter OF a former British
Ambassador at Washington. Lord Sack
Vile was British minister to the Uni
ted States In 1888. He was recalled
by the British government because he
advised a naturalized American citizen
how he should vote In a presidential
election. Miss Sackville-West inher-
its her talent for dancing from her
mother the beautiful Josefa Duran, a
Spanish dancer. around whose shadowy
figure the Sackville peerage case ragged
about two years ago.
A few years ago all England was
ringing with the scandal OF her faith
er's life. during a suit instituted by her
brother to establish his and his Sis
ters' Legitimacy. The suit failed. the
English courts holding that Sackvilie-
West had never acknowledged the
legitimacy OF his union with their
mother. Josefa Durand de Ortega. a
Spanish dancer and actress. and that
the children were not entitled to a
share in the estate.
The romance of Lord Sackville West
and Josefa Durand de Ortega startled
England at the time. and the appear

what action he intended to take in
view Of Mayor Bollschweiler's letter

letter of the mayor as an assurance
to him that the law, in respect to
prize fighting, was not being violated
at Perth Amboy, as there were no
combats or fights with fists, as pro-
hibited by the laws Of the state. He
said that he had no reason to doubt
the accuracy of the mayors state
ment, and his letter leaves the mat

law violation, namely. in the hands
of the local officials to see that the
law was not being violated.
The prosecutor has sent the fol-
lowing letter to the mayor:
Dear Mayor
Il am in receipt of your letter of
the 22nd inst, in relation to boxing
matches in your city.
81 assure you that It was no in
tention on my part to slight you, in
writing to Chief Burke. l simply
wrote to him as l thought he was the
proper person in the first instance to
be communicated with, and you will
remember that 1 also saw you per-
sonally, and consulted you about it
at the time 1 wrote to Chief Burke.
l am glad to have your assurance
that the law is not being violated in
this respect, and am sure that the
matter is in safe hands, while you
are looking after it. Neither of us,
of course, desire to do any more than
to see that the law is enforced"
