WOMAN LOBB|ES
FOR RACING BILL
az IT, WERE NOT FOR THE oPPo-
sITloN OF THEIR CONSTITUENT
TO THE MEASURE THERE Is NO
DOUBT BUTTHAT LEGISLATORS
WOULD FAVOR THE BILL.
Special to the Journal.

New York, July 15.-If it were not
for the Widespread opposition in their
constituencies to the proposed amend
ment of the racing laws. the persua-
sive eloquence of Mrs. Richard T. Will
son, Jr., who has been busy lobbying
for the bill now before the state legis-
lature would have captured every vote
needed long since. The spectacle of
a smartly gowned, cultured, and at
tractive society matron fraternizing
with lawmakers at the state capital
in behalf of a measure condemned
by a majority Of the electors presents
a new phase in the modern political
evolution of womanhood. Through
marriage, Mrs. Wilson is a cousin Of
the Duchess Of Marlborough, who by
the way is reported to be planning
an extended visit to Newport and this
city during the month of August.
Richard T. Wilson, Jr., is a steward
of the Saratoga Racing Association
and one of the best known of the
younger set in local society. His sis
ter, Grace, is married to Cornelius
Vanderbilt, brother of Alfred G. Van
derbilt, and his cousin May Goelet,
that was, is the Duchess of Roxburghe.

HAS TROUBLE
BROTHER OF ETHEL BARRYMORE
is HAVING DOMESTIC TROUBLE
HIS WIFE TOO FOND OF Ac-
TORS.
Special to the Journal

New York, July 15.-Now that public
attention is being focused on the mari
tai troubles of his sister, Ethel Barry
Colt, her husband. Jack Barrymore is
feeling much relieved these days. For
several weeks he has been the subject
of much unpleasant notoriety as a re-
suit of the quarrel between Mr.. and
Mrs. Sydney Harris, the divorced par
ents of his young wife, who married
him against the wishes of her father.
Harris attributes most Of the differ
ences with his wife to her fondness for
actors as a class and her apparent de-
termination that their daughter, sent
by the father to a Paris convent to be
cured of her fancy for Barrymore,
should marry him.
The objection Of the elder Harris for
Barrymore was in large measure due to
the association of his name several
years ago with that of Evelyn Nesbit
Thaw, wife of the slayer of Stanford
White, and sister in-law of the former
Lady Yarmouth CAlice Thaw). The
rift in the matrimonial lutte Of the
Colts has been predicted practically
ever since their marriage two years
ago. Colt is a son of the head of the
rubber trust and has been burning up
money for several years. When, short
ly after the birth of their baby, Mrs.
Colt returned to the stage. the suspi-
Cion that the former star had not
found marriage as congeuiaI as she had
hoped became settled conclusion
among her friends, who realized that
the day was not far away when she
would apply for a dissolution of the
ties that bound her TO the young multi
millionaire, whose society had become
impossible to her.

SEEKERS
ARE OFFENDED
RESENT ARRANGEMENT BY CON-
GRESHAM HENRY OF AMERI-
CAN HEIREssEs WHO HAVE
MARRIED FOREIGN NosLEMEN
DURING RECENT YEARS.
Special to The journal.

New York. July 15.-The bitter ar
raignment of American heiresses who
marry foreign noblemen, made the
other day in congress by Representa-
tive Henry OF Texas, seems to have
gotten under the skin of some Of the
hyper sensitive relatives here Of those
who have sought social prestige
brought international marriage to men
of title.
In the opinion Of the families of the
young New York women who have eX-
changed their dollars for coronets
within the last decade or two, the Wig
orous philippe of the outspoken Texan,
who, while holding them up to oppro-
brium, took occasion to score members
of the diplomatic service for aping the
splendor of foreign courts, was I'M
called for and unfair. Friends of John
Hays Hammond, special American am
bassador to the coronation of King
George, were disposed to resent the i'm
piled reference to him in Mr.. Henry's
spirited Genunciation Of the nations
ENJOYS abroad. They were inclined to
interpret the attack on Mr.. Hammond
as a reflection of the disappointment
experienced by several candidates for
the appointment as Uncle Sans spe-
cial plenipotentiary extraordinary to
the ceremonies in the English capital
recently. However much the criticism
of the New York heiresses, who have
married titles within the last few
years may be applauded through the
country as a patriotic effort on the
part of the southern representative in
congress to discourage the future ex-
portation of dollar laden brides, it is
not believed 1t will have any appre-
ciable effect on the trans Atlantic
marriage market. So long as ambitious
mothers and title worshiping daughters
with substantial bank accounts and
much leisure time on their hands have
a hankering for such marriages they
will continue in proportion to the num-
Der available. The excuse given for
such conjugal contracts, that the aver
age American man of means persists
in devoting a certain amount of his
time to business, which precludes the
possibility Of giving to her the atten-
ton for social advertisement she de-
mands as her due will continue to en-
courage heiresses to seek the life of
luxuriant leisure they covet by alli-
ances with the gilded scions of the old
world. The fact that so many of these
hastily arranged and i'll assorted mar
riages prove to be unhappy Will have
little adverse influence on those who

PROSECUTION
ILL ADVISED
FASHIONABLE ENGLISH DRESS
NJ A X G ESTABLISHMENT
CAUGHT FOR UNDERVALUA-
TON FRAUDS, WILL FIGHT THE
GOVERNMENT.
Special to The Journal.

New York, July 15.-Insisting that
that the government has been ill-ad-
yised in its prosecution of the firm
for under valuing importations Of
gowns and lingerie sold to it's society
patrons here, Lucille, Ltd" the FASH
ionable English dressmaking establish
ment of which Lady Duff Gordan is al
legged to be the head, has given no.
t4ce to the authorities that it intends
fighting the case brought against 1t.
Several weeks ago, the custom house
officials made raid on the establish
ment on the strength of statements
said to have been made to them con-
fidentially by a former employee Of
the concern, who charged that impor-
tations made by the corporation had
been given a fictitious value in order
TO escape the excessive duties imposed
on supplies of the character handled
by It. The manager and several other
officials of the corporation were ar
rested, preliminary to an exhaustive
inquiry into the charges, which are
said to cover an extensive period.
Lady Duff Gordan, who arrived in
the city from England, the day the raid
was made on Lucille, denied that the
firm had been engaged in any sys-
tematic plan of swindling the govern
ment out of it's custom duties so far
as she was aware. She also averred
that she had no part in the direct
management of the New York concern,
which she said was operating under
an agreement by which she allowed
them to use her name. When the ex-
animation in the case was called the
other day, the manager of the cor
poration pleaded mot guilty" to the
charge and indicated his intention Of
contesting the governments claim.
This attitude, is in marked contrast to
the other defendants caught in the
customs net within the last year, who
when confronted with the evidence
against them confessed to the deceit
practiced on the government and made
restitution. 1t has excited much in
terest and is taken to foreshadow a
stubborn fight.

AS they walked, Ware chatted OF his
trip up the China coast-an interesting
recital that took Barbara insensibly out
of herself More than once he looked
at her curiously. Since that fateful hour
when he had stood behind the shilSiri
he, like Barbara. had gone through much
to look so unfiurried.
The trip to Nikko had encouraged him.
It had been the time of the bishops
regular spring visit and Barbara had
welcomed the opportunity to leave To-
kyo. which was so full of painful MEM
cries. Patricia adored Japan's Temple
Town and Ware had Joined the party
there with as little delay as was SEEM
ly. In the three days of the poignant
mountain air Barbara had seemed to
Patricia to be more like her old self.
She could not guess the strength of the
effort this had cost or the fierceness of
the fight Barbara's pride was making.
IL was sunset when they mounted the
steep road to the hotel, long, two
storied. modern structure. whose gardens
and red balconies gave it subtle Japa-
nese flavor. On one side of the build
ing the ground fell in a precipitous de-
scent to the rocky bed Of the river,
whose rush made a restful monotone
Ike wind signing through linden trees.
Behind it the height rose abruptly, and
up its side clambered a twisting path,
from which a light foot-bridge sprang
TO the upper piazzas.
Ware walked with Barbara up the
path to the foot-bridge. Near its en-
trance a small stand had been placed
and on II was a phonograph, its ungainly
trumpet pointing down toward the
stretch o flawn. A heavy red-bearded
man. in a warm frock-coat a white
waistcoat and a silk hat pushed far
back on his head, was laboring over
this, and a plump lady stood nearby,
tanning her beaming face with a pocket
handkerchief
They were Barbara's steamship ac-
quaintances, and they greeted her hearth
ly.
Good afternoon" said the husband.
You can't guess what me and Martha
are up to- can your

The lady beside him nodded and
smiled. He's been planning it ever
since he heard you say one day that you
liked samisen music" she said.
You see," he went on with a laugh,
Il haven't forgotten a line of talk your
uncle gave me my first day in Japland.
II did me a lot of good. guess. what

i shall be delighted!' said Barbara
warmly. II shall value ii very. very
highly"
She smiled back at them over her
shoulder. The frank. honest kindness
of the couple pleased her.
The piazza opened into small sitting
room with cool bamboo chairs and por-
