DUCHESS, ALTERED AS
man, ATTENDS BALL

LONDON. Jan. l. A carefully
Arabian Nights BALI given at
Covent Garden came to light today
when it was learned that among
the glittering throng of oriental dan
GERS was her grace, the Duchess of
Sutherland in male attire-that of a
maharajah. That incident was
deemed Sc serious that afterwards a
military conclave was called at
Stafford house, the magnificent
Sutherland residence in St. James
street
But it was not the duke who
caused the trouble, but the Earl of
Rosslyn, the countess brother, who
ordered his sister ito give an az
count of herself" The duchess
took umbrage at this style of
censor and citing his somewhat lu-
rid career, bade him defiance
Il would like to know" she is re-
ported to have said, who appoint
ed you as censor of this familys
morals, so don't talk rot"
A cross examination elected from
the duchess the fact that while she
did wear mans clothes at the ball
also painted her face a swarthy
hue to resemble the eastern pc
tentates, her trousers were very
baggy and that a cloak enveloped
her figure
So at the conclusion of the inqui-
sition the duchess figured that the
Earl of Rosslyn owed her an apollo
gy.
You see it was all perfectly in
nocent," she said, and done just
for a lark You should gat down
on your knees to me for stirring
up such a fuss"

LIEUT.. ORCHARD IS
SENTENCED
TO SERVE FIVE YEARS AND PAY
S16,500 FINE FOR EN-
BEZZLEMENT.

VALDEZ. Jan Il - Lieutenant
c. c. Orchard. former auditor of
the road commission. was found
guilty of embezzling sl6.50O by the
court martial which sat in Valdez
this past fall and sentenced to serve
five years in the penitentiary and
pay a fine OF $4,000. This was
the word received in Valdez this
past week.
The court martials' decision is not
final. however. as il merely makes
its recommendations to President
Taft
The president has the power to
commute the sentence, wiping out
both the fine and the imprisonment
if he desires.
The friends of Lieutenant Orchard
are confident that the president will
reduce the sentence to a minimum
as they believe the penalty is alto
gether too severe and that his guilt
was not established.
Lieutenant Orchard has influential
friends working for his interest with
the president, among them Senators
Culbertson and Bailey, of Texas.
Should the sentence stand, how
ever the payment CT the fine could
be avoided by Lieutenant Orchard,
it is stated. by taking oath that he
is without funds.
This is under the federal statutes.
no provision being made in the mil
itary regulations on this point
Lieutenant Orchard is still at Fort
Lawton. Wash, awaiting the action
of the president.
Military prisoners whose senten-
ces are finally passed upon by the
president are now confined at Alca-
treZ, near San Francisco, and not
al Leavenworth, Kan.

CRYSTAL BATH At
PALACE
WATER NOW IN USE AT POpU-
LAR ESTABLISHMENT
FREE FROM RUST.

BY making use of a unique system
Cf water heating Julius Hoffman,
the enterprising proprietor of the
Palace barber shop, on Cushman
street, is now enabled to guarantee
to his patrons baths in water as
pure and clear as is to be obtained
anywhere. The trouble with water
Obtainable in town for bathing pur-
poses when heated in the ordinary
manner has always been the precip
itation of the iron rust, and it was
to overcome this that Mr.. Hoffman
has been experimenting until now
the system he has in use is working
to everybody's satisfaction
Mr.. Hoffman states that the secret
of obtaining crystal water from the
faucets lies in the keeping of the
air away from the water while it
is being heated, and afterwards until
it is used. He does this by max
ing used of small high-pressure
alright tank. The waiter pipe
leading to the tank is passed inside
an extra large steam pipe and the
water is made to pass in one direc-
ton while the steam passes along
on the outside of the pipe in the OPP
posite direction and the water is
thoroughly warmed by the time it
reaches the tank.
The Palace is one of the finest bar
Der shops in the North, and has always
been popular on account of its cleanli-
ness and the fact that it is always
up-to-date. Mr.. Hoffman has just
spent more than $500 on its renova-
ton and the ceiling and walls have
all been repapered and are now par
ticularly attractive The place is
well ventilated. light and suggests
cleanliness throughout There are

Oughly competent BARRIERS in the

partment there are three tubs al
ways as spick and span as the most
fastidiCus could desire.

RAILROADS MAY USE
THUMB IMPRINT TO
VALIDATE TICKETS

DENVER, Jan. l. A scheme
for validating passenger tickets by
an imprint of the thumb instead of
by signature, may be adopted by
Western railroads. The idea was
presented to the meeting of the
Transcontinental Passenger Traffic
association in Chicago last week and
given serious consideration.
The inventor of the device, a Salt
Lake railroad man, was present at
the meeting of passenger experts,
and urged his plan as sure means
of doing away with any possibility
of scalping. His idea is to have
the buyer of a ticket put an i'm
print of his thumb on the ticket in
the place where the ticket is now
signed. At the time of valuation
another thumb print would be made
in the presence of the validating
officers.
1t is said that the thumb prints
of any two people are so different
that they can be detected at a
glance, and so it would be impossi-
BILE for any one scalping a ticket to
do any forging.
With the ink preparations to be
used goes patent ink eradicator,
which would be used to take the
stain from the thumb OF the ticket
