AMERICAN WOMEN
SNUbBEDB
Mrs, Ava Willing Astor and
Duchess Of Marlborough
Are Cut.
BAN IS RIGID
Declines to Honor Peeresses Who
Live Apart From
Husbands.

London, May e0.-oueen Mary loses
no opportunity to let some American
women here know they do not enjoy
the FAY from her that King Edward
and Queen Alexandra bestowed on
them.
She snubbed Mrs. Ava willing Aston
yesterday in Hyde Park, and to-day
made known the first royal snub COR
the Duchess OF Marlborough formerly
Consuelo Vanderbilt.
When the list Of omc'aI invitations
to last nights state ball, at Bucking-
ham Palace in honor of the German
Emperor and Empress was published
to-day 1T die not contain the name Of
the Duchess of Marlborough.
The former Miss Vanderbilt is the only
duchess in the kingdom who was not In
vited. Practically all other titled Amer
lean women were present. The royal
snubs to Mrs. Aston and the Duchess Of
Marlborough prove the accuracy Of
the statement that the King and
Queen are determined not to honor
peeresses living apart from their hus-
bands with invitations to royal func-
tions. This includes the coronation.
The ban, however. does not apply
to divorces h have remarked. This
fact Is demonstrated by the presence
of Mrs. waldorf Aston. who wore the
famous Astor diamonds at the ball last
night.
When Mrs. Ava Willing Astor was
driving through Hyde Park yesterday
her motor car was halted while Queen
Mary passed near Stanhope Gate Mrs.
Aston bowed as low as she could, being
seated, of course. Those who saw t
say the Queen did no more than drop
her eyelids in acknowledgment OF Mrs.
Astor's salutation.
The contrast between the costumes
of the TWO women was most striking.
Mrs. Aston was a perfect picture Of
modern 'smartness'; the Queen wore
one OF the sedate British gowns of
which she seems proud.
Mrs. Astor's black satin gown chung

how she contrived 10 sit down with

her corsage was cut very low. reveal

black hat was enormously large: per-

Kaiser Leaves London.

Especial Cable to The Times-Dispatch.)
London. May 20.-An extraordinary
scene. capable only of one interprete-
ito !. occurred at the Victoria station
this afternoon on the occasion OF the
departure of Kaiser Wilhelm, of Ger
many. The King passed 4through the
royal reception room to the platform
talking heatedly with the Kaiser, en-
phasizing his argument by repeatedly
shifting his palms severely. and SO
engrossed was the King in his argu-
inent that apparently he was unaware
that he was within public view. Sud
denly. with ar expressive gesture. the
Kaiser turned away from the King
and began talking to Lord L4onsdale.
King George thereupon deliberately
turned his back upon the Kaiser and
commenced talking TO the Duke of
Connaught. without taking notice while
the Kaiser bid farewell to the other
members of the royal party.
Without further word with King
George. the Kaiser and Kaiserin enter
ed the parlor car. while the King dis
dainfully continued his conversation
with the Duke OF C~onnaught. King
George seemed suddenly to think bet
ter of his position and went on board
the car. bowed gravely only once 10 the
Kaiser and Kaiserin, without shakinx
hands. He then turned his back upon
the Emperor and resumed his CONVEX
sation with the Duke OF Connaught,
and did not once look around before
the train teamed out.
Thu waiting royalties on the plat
form were obviously aware of the tense
significance OF the occasion and stood
around in gloomy silence. The effect OF
this sinister Incident with not lost on
the privileged spectators within the
royal inclosure, as the King with a
gloomy face returned to Buckingham
Palace.

the Predatory Trusts than the
fact that for 25 years millions OF
American citizens have vainly
demanded of Congress the same
parcels post facilities extended
by the Post Office Department to

At this hour these Express
Trust thieves have 4o,OOO,oOo
people living on the rural postal
routes and 100000 more town
and city folk, by the throat
arbitrarily forbidding the farmer
or manufacturer to produce or
these consuming millions to en-
ioy. the fruits of husbandry or
the mill, unless they pay 10 times
as much for freight charges as
are paid the railroads!
Consequent upon this monop-
oily millions of dollars worth OF
food stuffs rot in the fields, to the
farmers loss, and meanwhile
millions of consumers are need
lessly paying exorbitant' prices
for these very necessities OF life
all in order that these Express
extortioners may make from %
to 300 per cent. yearly on their
capital-actual and water to boot!
A whole nation year after year,
supinely paying these Express
robbers 16 times the just cost OF
transporting food stuffs and other
necessities of life, in order that a
few score railroad and express
pirates may become multl'mlI'
lionaires- think of it!
Talk about the tax on tea, the

because of which "the embattled

robbers.
President Taft offered the
country pretended parcels post
that made the postofice depart
ment mere purveyors of more
fatness to the Express Trust, and
the country having as unanimous
