.ASTOR'S S|LVERWARE
SENT TO FIRST WIFE

NEW YORK, June 1.-THE famous
Astor plate, which for a score OF
years during the married life OF
Colonel John Jacob Astor and his first
wife, Ava Willing Aston, was Sc fire.
quently admired by society leaders
and friends, has been removed 10 tho
English mansion of Mrs. Astor. 1t
was learned yesterday that this plate,
marked with the initials ~. J. A."
as well as those of the wife, "a. w,
A." was removed from this country
last January, four months after the
second marriage of Colonel Aston 10
Miss Madeleine Tallmadge Force.
A large crate said to contain four
teen cubic feet of silver plate was
t~ranshipped to the English home of
Mrs. Astor. The articles therein con-
talned had been personally selected
by Mrs. Astor from the rich furnish
ings of the Aston household.
1t was shortly after the Astors had
agreed to separate forever that the
famed society leader served notice
upon her husband that she intended
to take away all that belonged to
her. mi she followed this with an
exacting account and inventory which
is said to have surprised the late
colonel when he began to inspect It
in detail.

NEWPORT, r. l., June 17.-Twenty
torpedo boat ~destroyers, the fastest

terday to taxi part in the greatest
speed test in which American yes
sells OF their type were ever subject
ed. The plan calls for an eight-hour
full-speed run on Wednesday of this

Some of the destroyers are oil burn
ers and others use coal, but all are
fast, at least two knots faster rhap
the speeditst ocean liners. The
twenty destroyers are all compare
lively new vessels, and on their trial
trips averaged in excess of thirty
miles an hour. The Ried has made
as high as thirty-four knots
The fiotilla will proceed to sea in
group formation, five vessels abreast,
but as soon as they reach the open
water and receive the signal for the
tests. they will form abreast end

secret chambers Of the Congress Hotel
Is not a battle of principle, not a
fight of progressives against reaction
Aries, but a sordid struggle for the
possession of the votes Of sixty-six
delegates.
There Is still a mighty pretension
that the giants of Republican leader
ship are engaged in a death strug-
gle. There is still a prospect that
the result of this fight may split the
party SO far asunder that 1t can
be reunited. Nobody denies the
possibility that tomorrow's conven
ton may be turned into a riot.
woodruff FIops.
Almost on the eve of the first bat
tie the outcome of this curious war of
enemies that has set the Grand Old
Party by the ears is as much in doubt
as 1t was the day Illinois vent for
Roosevelt at the primaries.
The Roosevelt list has been en-
riched by ten dusky delegates and
Tim Woodruff. of Brooklyn. The ten
delegates were Taft men from Mis-
sissippi. but they got away. And II
anyone has a doubt as to what Is
going on he only needs to stroll about
the Congress Hotel and see the fran
tic efforts of the Taft people to make
good this dangerous loss.
Following the example of the men,
bers of the Roosevelt family who
have ON to Chicago, the two Taft
boys, Henry and Charlie, have ar
rived in Chicago, taking up quarters
at the Blackstone, far from the mad.
ding crowds in the Congress Hotel.
Charles Warren Fairbanks, who has
a lingering hope that the lightning
will hit the tallest man first, also ar.
rived and also went to the Black.
stone, as did Nicholas Murray But.
Ter, who has come to line up the high.
brows for Taft.
Senator Agnew, of New York, ar
rived with a vest-rpcket Hughes
boom. which he took out and showed
to a number Of delegates without
awakening any great amount of
enthusiasm.
Agnew said he was not sent by
Hughes. but tina he thought the
needs of the hour demanded such a
hhnh' IL his thc lat IHeH Teplleu
that Hughes had put himself out
Of the game.
Both sides have been making va
rious claims about the New York
delegation. Barnes announced thai
all twelve of the Roosevelt absentees
from the New York caucus OF Satur-
day night had pledged him their
word that they were good Taft men
That meant a loss of only nine to
Roosevelt, four of whom are against
both Taft and the colonel, II they
are permitted to express their own
feelings.

city late last night. He said he con-
sidered that the authorities and spe-
cial deputies have the situation well
In hand, and that his presence was no
longer required.
There is considerable ill-feellng in
the city on account of Prehoda's
death. He was not a striker, but a
foreman employed by the Barber
Asphalt Company. and was returning
from his work when he vas shot. A
pathetic feature of his death Is that
he was practically a boy. only 20
yeays old, and was to have been mar
ried In a few weeks. His betrothed,
Miss Bessie Barber, of this city, has
scarcely left his casket since the body
was taken to his home. and has wept
constantly.
Several persons have condemned the
deputies who fired on him. Coroner
James j. Flynn Is making an attempt
to secure evidence enough to secure
the indictment of those responsible
for his death If he can be found, Mr..
Flynn said today:
Coroner Wants Probe.
Il and other citizens VIII attempt
to have the men responsible for the
shooting indicted. 1t will be very I'M
fortunate If we cannot have some OF
the irresponsible thugs who have been
on guard at the plants punished for
the reckless way in which they have
handled their guns"
The Rev. Francis Gross was most
bitter in his Characterization of the
conduct of the strikebreakers.
Arthur A. Quinn, yice-president Of
the United Brotherhood Of Carpenters
and Joiners, said tonight:
1T shouldn't make any predictions
until after tomorrow's meeting, but
l don't believe the trouble Is over
yet by n means. The men are as
determined as ever, and If the COM
pany's concessions don't satisfy them
they are prepared to continue the
! strike indefinitely.
