LONDON, January 2S.-Of all the IN
teresting personases who will throng
Westminster Abbey TO view the corona
ton it is safe to assume that none will
attract more romantic attention than the
infant peers and baby pceresses who will
appear in the robes and rcgala of their
high estate. Almost equally interesting
will be those eldest sons of peers who
are still in the infant class.
\ youthful peeress in her own right Is
the Baroness Clifton, who was baby
only eighteen months old when King Ed
ward was crowned. and has now attained
the dignity of her first decade. She will
wear the kirtle and velvet mantle pre-
scribed for the peeresses. and hes coronet
will be that of her rank. which will be
placed on her head at the moment OF
the queens browning.
Youth in Ancient Barony.
The Baroness Beaumont. another
youthful peeress in her own right. Will
remember the coronation of King Ed
ward. but her robes will have to DO

a damsel of seven. The barony she en-
Toys is a very ancient one. which has

death of the late baron
Lord de Clifford is a very tiny baron.
for he is only three years old. ana IL he
does not persist in claiming his hereditary
rights it may be decided that he IS
little too young to attend the ceremony.
He succeeded his father in 1907. after
the tragic motor accident that made him
an orphan.
The little Earl of Dumfries, heir OF
the Marquis of Butte. is only three years
old. a very tiny being TO attend so long
a ceremony.

There were several children at King

Special Dispatch to The Star.
WHEELING, w. Va, January Is
Released on her own recognizance, Mrs.
Laura Farnsworth Schenk left her cell in
the turret of the Jail here this morning
and enjoyed the open air for the first
time since November q, when she was
arrested on the charge of having poisoned
her millionaire husband, John 0. Schenk.
But her real enjoyment of outdoors was
cut very short, for just as she was about
to step into the automobile of her lawyer.
Joseph OBrien, a process server stepped
up to her and showed into her hand
papers summoning her in suit for abso-
lutte divorce, in which her husband names
as correspondent Dan Phillips, the
young society blood" who during the
trial, which just ended admitted that he
and she were guilty of misconduct on
midnight 10y rides while the husband
was away in Europe.
The divorce suit will be heard, it is said
here before the echoes of the poison trial,
in which the jury disagreed, IL to l for
acquittal, have died away. Mrs. Schenk
undoubtedly will make big fight for
alimony.

Here Attorney O'Brien told of plans
that will still further enliven the divorce
controversy.

lawyer, there will be counter suit filed,

correspondent. We have discovered GER

Mrs. Schenk hurried from the prison to
her home on Wheeling Island. but, find
ing it closed. went to the residence of
Mrs. William Lasch. a rich and elderly
neighbor, who caused a pretty little scene
by kissing her in the courtroom one day
curing the recent trial.
Mrs. Schenk. when seen by the re-
porters after her arrival at the Lasch
home. laughingly admitted that she had
received several offers of large sums to
appear in vaudeville and to write her ex-
periences. But she will not accept any
of them.

PRIMARY LAW CHANGE LIKELY

Special Correspondence of The Star.

Special Correspondence or Inc Star.
RICHMOND. Va, January os. 1911.
Although both Representatives Glass and
Jones have announced formally their can
didacy for the United States Senate in
opposition to Senators Martin and Swan
son. not word has been heard from the
two latter regarding their candidacy. Ii
Is expected that they will be in the race
for the nomination III the primary of
August next. but they have not made a
declaration in the press of the state to
that effect. 1t is possible that they will
not do so until the end of the session of
Congress. The impression is that all four
of the gentlemen will have their head
quarters right here in Richmond.
There is reason to believe that there will
be some change in the primary laws of
the state following the primary of next
September. Then it will be that gentle
men who have not offered themselves be-
fore for state offices will have brought
home to them some of the enormous ex-
penses incidental TO a campaign. The
primary fee for each of the senatorial as
pirants will not. unless there is a very
great change, be less than 5000. 1t may
be that the county and city committees
will see to ii that the legislative candi-
dates-and all the members of both
branches are to be chosen this year-are
nominated in the senatorial primary. If
this shall be done there is possibility Of
reducing the cost to the senatorial candi-
rates. The local committees, however,
are vested with absolute and complete
power in this matter.
May Write Life of Daniel.
From all parts of the country are COM
ing requests for history of the life Of
the late Senator John w Daniel" There
is no publication in existence that gives
anything like a complete history of that
distinguished Virginian. and there is a
demand that some one who knew him
shall undertake that task Naturally. a
vast majority of the people of the state
are turning to his nephew, the senator
from Lynchburg, Don p. Halsey. Mr.
Halsey is a lawyer of recognized ability,
was much in the confidence of Senator
Daniel and is perhaps letter prepared
than any person in the state to undertake
the responsibility of compiling a history
of Senator Daniels life. 1t is believed
that he will recognize the necessity for
