MY! MY! WE DON'T
DRESS PROPERLY
Count Gus Boni's Cousin, Says So.
Also Takes Fling at Those
Green Hats.

That Americans have much to learn in
the art OF proper dressing AND in the
gentle graces is the opinion OF Count
August Schaefelysky de Mukkadel de
Castellane, a cousin of Count Boni de
Castellane, who is stopping at the New
Ebbitt, in his travels through the United
States in search of data for a book on
the manners of the different nations.
Count de CasteIlane made a comment
airy on American dress and manners last
night, in which he accuses the people of
this country of copying their dress from
the people of the Continent. and in the
sa me breath of dressing improperly. He
says that American women are more for
ward than those of Europe, and asCribes
this TO the fact of this country being a
republic
You have no taste, no sense OF prop
erly matching or contrasting colors in
your dressing" he said. Here in Amer
ica l see men on the city streets in green
hats. In Europe We would never think
OF wearing a green hat nnIess We were
going into the country shooting or on
mountain climbing trip.
Il notice another thing and that is that
American men wear more jewelry than
the men OF Europe. / am talking about
what l have noticed about the average
people of this country. l have made a
tour of the world, minGling with the mid
dle-class people. | have CatalOGued the
peculia rites of each country. and will
compile what l have seen into a book.
81 have noticed particularly tine table
manners here. l have seen men in the
hest hotels in this country actually take
out a pocket comb during the meal and
comb their hair. l have seen them mani
cure their hands, and in any hotel cOrri-
dor you may see people coming out of
the dininE-rOom using a toOthpiCk.'
Count de Castellane was dressed from
head to foot in clothes typically Ameri-
can,' and when this was commented on
after his excoriation of American taste
in dress, he said:
'Ah. yes, / am wearing them. l have
trunks and trunks of them, for l have
bought clothes all over the country to
take home to show them there how they
dress here.
20 Il say that the American woman is
less reserved than the woman of Europe,
and believe that this is because of the
republican form Of government here.

women are more forward than in mon

SOUTHERN LEAGUE.
CITY INprvInr,AL CHAMPIONSHIP.
London's Lord Mayor.

From the Imperialist.
The Mayor of London dates from the
twelfth century and the first held office
twenty-five years. II then became an
nual. The origin was thus. The Com
mune had been started in France and the
successful example of ROuen fired the
Londoners TO propose such an arrange
ment to Henry II. He would not listen
to H.
Then Richard went to Palestine.
Chancellor Longchamp governed Eng
land. and so badly that London forcibly
established its Commune. John gave as
sistance in his intrigues for the throne.
The name Mayor in an English signif-
cance of major, was taken from the
French Marie.
The first two centuries remain misty.
However, John Carpenter. town clerk
wrote his copious book in 1913 giving a
fulb account of the corporation. Ob-
serve what privileges the London Mayor
fought up to. He was a century and
half getting the title OF lord with all
its meaning. Most readers will be sur
prised with what he has gained.
Within the city proper the Lord Mayor
ranks next 10 the King. He is even
technicality before the Queen consort'
not to speak OF such dignitaries as the
Premier (who has no heraldic rank), the
lord chancellor and the Archbishop OF
Canterbury.
The. Lord Mayor takes precedence OF
the lord chancellor as first judge of the
Criminal Court Neither of them enters
upon details there, but you will reflect
on what the outranking meant when lib
critics had to be battled for.
The Lord Mayor Of London cannot
jump up easily. First he must be mem
ber OF one of the livery companies. Next
elected Alderman Then Sheriff. Any
body refusing to be an Alderman is liable
to $500 IL the cannot prove his wealth
under eS0,00e. The Sheriff gets EdOO
year. but must spend about e%eo. the
Lord Mayor gets $1,000 and spends at
least double. When a sovereign dies ne

FIGHT ON MAI. RAY
TO Be RENEWED
House Committee Report Will Have
Bearing on Nomination for
Higher Rank.
poMERENE IS GIVEN THE FACTS

The fight against Maj. Beecher Ray,
pay corps, U. s. A, which began in the
House at the last session in the course
of the investigation by the eommittee
on expenditures in the War Department.
and which was stopped through the ad-
journment of Congress, will be continued
in the Senate this session when the
nomination to be a lieutenant colonel
comes up for confirmation.
Maj. Rays case arose over alleged
misconduct on his part with the wife oil
subordinate in the South. An investi-
cation was made into the case by the
department but Ray was never brought
before a court-martial. the supposition
being that the affair was dropped In
order to protect the name Of the woman
in the case, who following the expose
became reconciled with her husband.
This reason was given by officials OF
the department for their refusal to COM
ply with a request by the committee for
the departments records OF the case.
Secretary Stimson told the committee
that he did not know where the papers
were, but supposed they were in the
hands of Gen. Franklin Bell. in Manila.
They had been unaccountably withdrawn
from the office Of the Adjutant General
and never returned.
Resolution was Lost.
Following Secretary Stimson's refusal
to aid the committee in obtaining pos
session of the papers, there was some
talk of haling Mr.. Stimson before the
bar of the House in contempt proceed
ings. but this plan was dropped. in view
of lack of reliable precedents. and Rep
resentative Buckley of Ohio and a mem
Der of the committee introduced a reso-
luton calling the attention of President
Taft to the facts in the case, the intent
OF the measure being TO put the affair
sGIuareIy before the President and try to
force him to go on record.
Special interest centered around the
attitude of the President because of the
past political activity OF Mai Ray in
behalf OF national and Congressional
tickets in Illinois. The resolution, how
ever. could not be passed in the closing
hours OF the session, and the President,
who had been awaiting action by the
committee before sending Maj. Rays
name up for promotion. finally sent the
nomination to the Senate.
Mr.. Bulkley. who returned to Wash
ingtOn yesterday, said he had no inten-
ton OF carrying the fight further IN the
House, but that he had talked the mat
ter over with Senator Pomerene, and had
called his attention TO the report OF the
committee. which severely Criticises the
department for its attitude on the Ray
case.
The report. Of course, speaks for IT.
self" said Mr.. Buckley. Il do not know
what the Senate will do with the nomi-
nation. but it would seem that the re-
port OF our committee would have some
weight when the question Of confirming
Maj. Rays nomination comes up. have
given Senator POmerene my Views on the
subject and such additional information
as have. shall attempt to do nothing
further in the House"
