RUTH DEMANDS $5O,OOO FROM
 HOTEL OWNER Says Henry c. Williams Promised to Make Her
 His Wife
 SAYS SHE IS AN ACTRESS Rich New York Hotel Man Accused of Wooing Her While He Had a Wife

New York, July 11--Because she al- leges she was put to great expense both in. time and money preparing for social career as the wife of Hen- ry G. Williams, millionaire proprietor of the Hotel York, and also because while trying to qualify as Mrs. Will Hams she was unable to become a success in her chosen profession, Ruth L.. Trufant, who says she is an ac- treSs. brought suit against Williams, today. She demands $50 900 because she alleged the hotel man, after pay ing her devoted attention, refused fin ally to marry her.
 Miss Trufant alleges in her com plaint that she and Williams became engaged, in 1904. Later, she says, they had lovers quarrel and parted. They met again in Paris in 1907, and the young woman declares Williams was most loverlike and insistent that their shattered romance be repaired and that they should be married as ori- ginally planned.
 After paying her devoted attentions, Miss Trufant declares, Williams shocked and mortified her" by one day calmly informing her that there could had a wife.
 Miss Trufant details at length the manner in which she tried to prepare herself to take the place in society that would have been hers had she wed Williams and also epdeayors to show that if it had not been for time she wasted receiving the hotel man s attentions she could have continued her study of dramatic art.

The party start ed and had gone a short distance when the engine stopped. The driver got down and tinkered with the ma chinery a while.
 Say Joe' he demanded. What kind of oil did you get anyway?''
 Why kerosenes of course" was the reply.
 There were loud groans but Joe pro- tested that he thought kerosene was as good as anything else. After much laughter Joe bought ten gallons of regular gasolene from a nearby ga- rage and also bought liberal portions of fluid which didn't look like gaso- lene

PLANS FOR LITTLE FOLKS ELKS DAY
 AT SEA BREEZE Antlers Outing Next Wed nesday to Be Seasons
 Feature Ample Entertainment of Just Right Sort to Be Pro vided for Juveniles

While every care has been exercised so that the "grown-ups'' who attend the coming celebration of the local lodge of Elks, at Sea. Breeze Island next Wednesday, afternoon and even ing, July 17the will have their full quota of pleasure. the little folks have been by no means neglected.
 In the first place, it sis the aim of the management. to have as many children as possible be present and enjoy themselves thoroughly. and to that end, the committee has made ar engagements with William Gallagher, manager of Sea Breeze, to admit all children, accompanied by their. parents free of charge. This offer will in- .clude all school children and the small Ter tots, and in fact any boy or girl under IA years of age.
 A number of special events, especial ly adaRted for the e'kiddies" will take place, and they are expected to keep the younger element fully interest ted and amused. Tn connection with the number of special contests, in which the boys and girls will participate, have been placed on the programme. They will include a 50 yard dash an obstacle race, three legged race, a doughnut eating contest and the a1- ways dLIluSluS pl6-0dllnS contest. The winners of these various contests will be presented with handsome prizes. Any boys or girls, under the If years of age, who wish to enter these events, can do so by making ap- plication to the Elks committee, Elks Club.
 A special Hidden rGold' contest will also be held. While all details for this number are not completed, the idea of the affair is as follows: a number of certificates calling for cash awards. will be hidden at diff ferent points of the island, and the finders of same can bring them to the Sea Breeze office, where they will be exchanged for the sum of money call- ed for in the order. A number of other certificates, entitling, the finders to free rides on the carousel, figure eight airship, etc. will also be secret ed The only stipulation of this con- test is that the boy or girl finding the certificates must be under the age limit set.

PAT AZ ENC HAI : TN PREP ARATION
Pope We'll Pleased With Status
 of Church in Non Catholic Countries

Rome, July 1t-In the Pope's opln. ion, the Roman Catholic Church is freer. today, in the socalled Protestant countries than those generally class ed as Catholic. And, in no other land in the world is the Roman Catholic church so free as in the United States. His Holiness thinks.
 These, it was said in Vatican circles, today, will be the two outstanding declarations in the encycl1cal which the Pope is preparing for issuance in celebration of the anniversary of Con- 'stantine's victory for the Christians over Maxentius' Pagan forces in 313- A. D. They will be made, it is said, in connection with review of the re- lations existing between the Roman Catholic church and the various gov- ernmentS of the world.

BRANDEGEE CANNOT ACCEDE TO REQUEST OF GREAT BRIT TAIN Refuses to Agree to Post ponement of Panama
 Canal Bill
 TEXT OF NOTE SENT
 HERE BY ENGLAND Connecticut Senator Replies That Senate Can Not and Will Not Postpone Matter

Washington, July 11.-Great Brit aims objections to the free use of the Panama Canal by American vessels are expected to be set forth in note in the near future, according to information here today: The Senate, however, according to Chairman Brandegee, of the Panama Commit tee, will not postpone it's considera- tion of the canal bill.
 Brandegee gave out the preliminary ''note'' transmitted to the state de- partment by Alfred Mitchell Innes, charge d'affaires of the British ems bassy. Innes' telegram was as fol- lows:
 'I shall shortly be in a position to make a communication regarding the bill now in the Senate on the sub- ject of the Panama Canal. I trust that it may be possible for you, in the meanwhile, to postpone further consideration of that bill by Con- gress."
 Innes sent his telegram from Kino, Me. Ambassador Bryce is touring Australia, the British embassy here being deserted.
 T replied. that the Senate connot and will not postpone the taking up of the canal bill,' said Senator Bran degee, today, The bill was reported to the Senate June 12 and is on the calendar for hearing. It will come up very soon if tariff legislation goes off.
 T think probably the section pro- hibiting railroad owned ships using the canal and the American free tolls provisions are both objectionable to Great Britain. The free tolls for American shipping is said by many diplomats and Senators to violate the sHay-P Pauncefote treaty Of 1901 under which this government acquired the canal site.''
 Alfred Innes, charge d'affaires o1 the British Embassy, notified Secre- tary of State Knox today, that Grea. Britain would regard the proposed Panama Canal Legislation, which ex- tepts American vessels from paying canal toll while denying that prfvf- lege to vessels of other nations, as a violation of the Hay-Pouncefote treaty. Innes' letter stated that Great Britain's objections in detail are be- ing forwarded from England.
