GUESTS
Al SWELL DINNER
Curator From Zoo Brings Shiny,
Crawling Snakes and Lizards,
to Entertain His Hosts.

New York, Mch. 1.-Since Harry
Lehr gave society new thrills by hav-l
Ing a monkey as a guest at q dinner.
most dining rooms have been reserved,
for humans. But the other night Ray,
mond l.. Ditmars appeared in a ban-,
quet room of the Waldorf Astoria
with a collection OF suit cases filed
with live samples from the Bronx zoo,
where he Is a curator OF reptiles. The
hunters known as the Rocky Mountain
club had invited Ditmars to eat with
them and tell them things about his
business. He came prepared for q
good object lesson.
In order to avoid surprises he opened
the cases upon arrival and In the
progress OF the Inner from soup to
nuts the 100 club members a the
Intimate company OF a variety or
waltzing mice and others OF
Ditmar's daily assc eiates They llclled
on or scampered owe tables, tried
various courses and were SO pleased
with h style of things that they We're
ready TO pose as exhibits when the
curator arose to speak.
Boa a Fine Scarf.
Ditmars first set out to prove that
except for weight O boa constructor
would make a good muffier. He had
one % feet long, which was heavy to
lift but which Struggled close to the
speakers neck when placed there and
pinched no harder than would have
been comfortable in the outer air. A
king snake. a gopher. corn and pine
snakes, rattlers n moccasins went
through similar performances and
wriggled their delight as the early
shudders of the onlookers were sue
ceeded by applause.
Having proved snakes harmless,
Ditmar said that other reptiles gave
man all he deserved In friendly treat
ment. He fondled the front aperture
OF a 14-foot start tortoise which might
have snapped off his hand IL 1t had
been Ill tempered. and he coaxed a
snake-neck tortoise to run it's head
about g loot out ns its shell and ses@
to the tables. An Austrian frilled
lizard and the dreaded gila Monster
were equally complaisant.
Monkey a Trifle Unsteady.
There nearly was trouble for Dit
mars when he called upon q woolly
monkey from Brazil to go through its
PAGES. That animal had made friends
at all the tables in the course of the
dinner and had taken a social glass
with everybody who offered it. As a
result his efforts to respond to the call
Of his keeper were confused by the
vision OF several Ditmarses, from
whom he mad great ufrr1cuity IN se-

went obediently into their suit cases

Senate Committee Favors
Treaty Which VIII Secure
Payment of His Claim.

Washington, March 1.-THE Senate
committee on foreign relations today
decided TO report favorably the Hon
Iurian financia! treaty and viii make
y determined effort 70 obtain the ap-
prevail of the Senate for the conven4
zion before the expiration of the pres
ent congress-.
The treaty in brief throws the pro-

contract made between Honduras and
the j.. p. Morgan interests for the re-
funding OF the enormous debt of Hon
duraS.
The Stevenson militia pay bin was
passed by the House today by 8 vote

Yates is fixed at % per cent of the
regular army scale.
One Of the conditions imposed ON

posed act is an agreement to render

be called into such service, not to eX.
reed two years" The bill has not

THREATS ARE MADE
BY OFFICERS WIFE
She VII! Air Another
Against Captain Smith #
He Is Restored.

Philadelphia, Pa, Mch- Mrs.
George T.. Barnette. wife of Lieutenant
Colonel Barnette, in command Of the
marine corps at League island, has
served notice upon the authorities at
Washington and the friends OF former
Captain Guy H.. b. Smith, who was
cashiered from the army after trial by
court-martial for conduct unbecomingl
an officer, that should they ~reinstate
or even endeavor ta reinstate Captain
Smith in the United States army she
would come forward with further
charges of a similar nature to those
for which the former captain lost his
shoulder straps. She claims to have a
woman witness against him.
The alleged improper conduct for
which Captain Smith was cashiered oc-
Cured while Mrs. Barnette and her
two children and Captain Smith were
fellow passengers on an army trans
port coming from Manila to San Fran
cisco. They are all conferred around the,
7-year-old daughter OF Mrs. Barnette. !
The court-martial Diminishing Smith,
from the service was held at Fort
Crook, Neb., our months ago, and the
testimony and findings were kept q
profound secret until United States
Senator Burton OF Ohio apparently en-
deayored to reopen the case a few days
ago.

would stand IN the way of a vote Il
the opponents Of Lorimer can at any
time be caught mapping. This advance
was accomplished In the Senate by
friends of Senator Lorimer just before
Mr.. Crawford took the floor.
The maneuver of Senator Bailey may
prove an important factor In the case
lie no agreement is reached to vote on
the case prior to the expiration OF
the at noon Saturday. The
proceeding was the invention OF Sem
ator Aldrich. He used 1t first when
Senator's La Toilette and Stone We're
flibustering against a vote on the
emergency currency bill.
The sharp parliamentary practice OF
last night was not strange to Senator
Stone, therefore, which fact did not
tend to smooth over his opposition to
a vote on the Lorimer case. He APP
peared chagrined and angry at having
been caught twice on the same
game.

CHICAGO PICKS OUT
TWO MEN FOR MAYOR
Carter II. Harrison, Democrat,
and Charles e. Merriam, Re-
IT., publican, Named.

Chicago, March 2-Charles z Merriam
professor of political economy at the Uni
yersity OF Chicago, was the choice OF the
republican primaries yesterday to oppose
Garter II. Harrison, four times former
mayo democratic nominee, in the race
for the mayoralty. Harrison was chosen
after a close fight. In the republican pri-
maries, Professor Merriam polled a vote
which almost equaled the combined vote
OF his four republican opponents.
The following is the final count of the
1924 precincts:
Decentralization. 55,O69: Dunno, So.
6l3: Graham, 1854.
Observation-Disclosures, 54,22S; scully,
i.2l0: Thompson, &c, LOG; Murray, 2,S2S;
Smulski, A.1S7.
Merriam proved a surprise to the poll
ticians. He is a member of the city coun-
ell and gained publicity as head of a COM
mission which Investigated the city pur-
chasing system. His republican opponents
deciared. Immediately after the result was
known, that none would run independent
w, and were quick to offer their active
supper
Harrison's victory and the hard run
made by former Mayor Dunno came as a
surprise to many, Graham having been a
Favorite in the betting during the primary
campaign.
Charges of "knifng'' and double cross.
Ing were made by Graham supporters.
In the First ward, Alderman Michael
Kenna, known in the council for years as
'Hinky Dink." ran with Harrison. Kenna
was hundreds of votes ahead Of his op-
ponent. Col. Leopold Moss.
None of Harrison's democratic oppon-
snts would state whether they would
max an independent campaign, but the
Moseness of the vote between Harrison
Ind Dunno led to predictions there would
pc a three-sided contest.

gestion except senator Stone and no
one could move him. Still smarting
because Of having been outwitted
earlier in the night he would not be
conciliated. One after another. Sem
ators Owen, Carter. Smith, of Michi-
gan; jeff Davis, Smith, OF Maryland;
Crane, Penrose and Culberson pleaded
with him, but without avail.
After Mr.. Crawford had continued
for some time, Mr.. Bailey. at 5:55 a.
m, suggested an adjournment. He
referred to the fact that there was a
special order which the Senate had
agreed to vote upon following the
sion. That order was the resolution
respecting popular election OF senator's.
Mr.. Bailey pointed out that unless
the Senate adjourned the session must
continue as the legislative day of yes
terday and it would not be possible to
consider the special order under the
unanimous consent agreement. He
said nothing about n rangemen
for votes on any of the pending ques-
tons.
When am / to have opportunity to
conclude my remarks" asked Mr..
Crawford. The question angered Mr..
Bailey.
Something was whispered to Mr..
Crawford about negotiations looking
to a settlement Of the contest. Mr..
Crawford replied rather testify tina
he had had no part in the negotiations
as he had been confined to the floor
and knew nothing Of what was
transporting.
