ne consented 10 stand in the bandstdnd
while one of the officials announced
that he would make no address
The official told the crowd that Mayor

the result Of too much money To spend

Of the town whore the money spendcrs
congragate. Childs had reputation for
being generous. At times he was wont
TO frcightcu bartcndcrs because ii was
his custom To carry two big silver
plated pearl-handled revolvers that
went along with "A diamond studded
deputy sheriffs badge. After opening
bottle or 50 of the stuff that goes
traditicnaly with hot birds, Chlds
would casually remove his revolvers
from his pockets and point them at the
reflection of his figure In the French
plate mirror back of the cut glass.
Naturally, some one would go out of
the place, and then the police would
come in and tell Irving To bc good.
Childs went often 10 the West 41th
street station on friendly visits, and
policemen off duty were frequently his
guests.
Irving W. Childs was the son Of Will
lam Henry Harrison Childs, who lived
i'm Brooklyn. and made IA washing COM
pound as well as a lot of money. The
elder Childs left an estate valued at
more than $1,000. 900. and when Irving
Childs became Of age. in 1900. he got
something like S5JO,00O as mis- share.
BY the terms of the will, when he
reached the age of twenty-five he was
to get 100000 more.
Just after Chlds came into the
first instalment Of his fortune he mar
ried Miss Gertrude T.. Westfall, whose
father opposed the match. In 1907
Mrs. Childs separated from her hus-
band and took with her their year r-old
ter suits, and finally Mrs. Childs won
her point and the couple lived apart.
Childs advertised that he would not
be responsible for his wife's debts.
Then Mrs. Childs started suit for an
absolute divorce, named at least half
a dozen chorus girls and compelled her
husband to put up bond of $3.50 900
to secure her alimony OF SS,iO0 year.
For time last November the couple
became recon"iled through the child.

MARCH QUAILS WITH FEAR

Handy in Grand Jury Room.

before the grand jury furnished one or
the most dramatic incidents of the Ro-

newspaper interviews. in which he had
explained how he had been in many

all such cases, for Dismissal of the

Pe5ing. Aug. 29.-Events of supreme
International importance have taken
place seriously affecting China's future
and iustifying a belief that the paru-
lion Of China is nearer than it has ever
been before.
The matter is Of intense interest 10
America, involving as it does the
abandonment Of the John Hay prin-
c;ple Of the territorial integrity Of
China and the rc-establishment Of the
regime Of spheres of influence, which
means shutting the open door.
Recently Chine has been endeavoring
Inllitariy 10 recover Tibet, which
when the Manchu dynasty fen de-
clared it, independence. Even now an
army is advancing into that province
lor the purpose OF asserting and es-
tablishing the authority of the republic,
hat Great Britain now formally in
forms China that she will not permit
any expedition into Tibet from any
quarter.
The Indian frontier is also closed as
3 route for any Chinese troops. Chinese
agents or Chinese money. China has
been planning sending peacemaker
through India 10 the Dalai Lama, but
England prohibits the presence OF Chi
nese officials In Tibet.
This simply means that Tibet is in
dependent through British compulsion,
but England magnanimously admits
Chinese suzerainty in the province.
Russia has almost simultaneously,
ana perhals--6y -1iii'ment infringement with
Great Britain, told China she will not
permit any expedition 10 Mongolia
The Russian demand that the north
western expedition be abandoned indi-
Gates clearly that Mongolia is abso-
lutely gone.
The Chinese are exceedingly agitated.
Realizing that they are facing the
actual loss Of their tremendous de-
Tendencies, they have asked the Ger
mans and French their intentions in
Shan -Tung aud Ynn-Nan, respectively.
The present disturbing Developments
accompany a reliable report that Eng
land. Russia and Japan recently
reached q general agreement. At all
events. il is certain that Russia and
Japan did SO. and the Chinese fee. that
japan will move forward soon.
