London, December H.-CSpeciall-In the gaieties of the next administration ct Washington British royalty and British aristocracy promise to play conspicuous parts. Dukes will be three penny at the American capital. There is still a possibility that the Prince of Wales may slip over incognito, although that 1t Is not provided for in the present plans or his royal highness. Their graces the Duke and Duchess of Connaught and the popular Princess Pat will be there, however, to represent the reignng royal house of Great Britain. Their visit is to take place during the early part of the summer "The princess who turns up her nose at kings" will once more become the darling of her young American friends There is also to be an official meeting with President-elect Woodrow Wilson whom the duke admlres very highly.
 It is the desire of King George and Queen Mary that the American trip of the Prince of Wales and Prince John, should be deferred until the heir to the throne goes to San Francisco as the official representative of the British empire This desire is shared by ministers of the crown and the parliamentarians who would most likely succeed them If the liberal govern ment gives place to a unionist regime. can say as a matter of absolute certainty that the Panama-P Pacific exposition in 1915 will draw to the United States more members of our great families than have ever before crossed the water at any one time.

AUTO TRUCKS SOLVE
 HOLIDAY TRAFFIC PROBLEM

The holiday rush season has caused &C., tive buying of motor trucks, according to L. A. Whitehead, local manager of the Alec. In a statement Mir. whitehead de- clared that motor truck purchases are directly affected by seasonal demands and that holiday times show the capacity of motor trucks to their best advantage.
 Horses vince under the strain of long hours and heavy loads, while motor trucks do not lose in efficiency" said Mir. whitehead. "As an example of this, last Christmas the Adams Express company of Philadelphia delivered goods by an Alec truck for IA consecutive hours in order to solve the rush delivery problem. An- other company, the United States Ex- press company, delivered goods for over 33e consecutive hours with theirs. Nearly all the large express companies depend on motor trucks to deliver the goods on time.

Christmas Dinners


 Among those who will give important Christmas dinners is Lady Paget, the American wife of the commander-n-chlef of the military forces in Ireland. Lady Paget is one of the best loved women in British society. In fact, her popularity is such that the few surviving anti- Americans admitted to the best circles try to make it appear that her ladyship has been "completely Americanized," which Is anything but the fact.
 Lady Paget Is just as much American as she was when she left her homeland. She is a living example of what determi- nation can do, for 1t will be remembered that some ten years ago she met with a terrible accident and no one expected that she would ever recover.
 For two years she was quite an invalid and for another year semi-invalid; but she never lost heart and never grum- , bled. King Edward had the greatest admiration for her. and was her first caller when she was able to receive her more intimate friends.
 The lonely Duke of Marlborough is ccurting the companionship of the charm- ing wife of his more brilliant cousin Winston Churchill. first lord of the ad- miralty. Like all the Churchills, the Duke finds 1t rather difficult to unbend and has really very few intimate friends. He has one great thing in common with Mrs. Churchill. They are both devoted to flowers and gardens. It Is very seldom that either of them misses the fortnight ly show of the Royal Horticultural society in Vincent Square.
 Mrs. Churchill has been a great help to her distinguished husband; and Wins ton, when not taken up with his duties at the admiralty and in parliament, Is a devoted husband. He is really 0 most magnifcently charming man, with a merry manner and captivating conversa- ton.

Names

Precedent dies hard but there is still some hope of abbreviating the nomen- clature of the 'blue bloods." An anus ing instance of the embarrassment oft times accompanying the possession of too many names was furnished by a member of the partrician house of Tollemache. Leone s. D. of r. T. F. de c. F. Tol- lemache, is a subaltern of the third Leis- tershire regiment who has just been pro- noted to captain. When up for his ex- animation, he had to write down his name in full "Now bless my sou." breathed de Tolemache, flor the life of me l cant remember all of those bally names.' and he wrote it down Leone $. D. and lot more de O. P. Tollemache." A sister o the captain had ten names before she took on an additional surname in mar riage. Her memory is not too good al the best of times; so, to avoid blundel and any technical flaw In the ceremony
 she went to the altar rail with slip o paper in her hand containing her hbera share of cognomens.

ing from New York, Weber said he
intended to take the trip to "get his

the way he thoroughly cleaned out
such passengers as risked their wealth
against him at poker.
Weber evaded questions as to his
identity when the steamship arrived
here, turning to his wife when a re-
porter who knew him addressed him as
Weber and remarklng:
"What do you think? He takes me-
for 'Bridgey' Weber,"
The gambler engaged rooms In a
suburban hotel from a runner whom he
had known in New York. He seemed
in a hurry to get to his quarters. A
reporter stopped him, however. long
enough to ask for his business card.
Weber answered he hadn't a card
1t was suggested that it would be just
as satisfactory If he wrote his name on
a card. He was In a quandary until
his wife seized the pad from his hands
and wrote on it the assumed name.
Then Weber and his wife left the
ship and were conveyed to their hotel

Special By United Press Wire.

SpeCldt OD UHfted PTeSS WIRE.
Washington, Dec. 5-Denial of the
use of the mails and prosecution I'M
der the Sherman anti-trust. laws, Is
conspiracy in restraint of trade"
against the nations stock exchanges
and bank clearing houses. This was
the declaration made today by Rep
resentative A. P. Pujo, of Louisiana,
chairman of the House banking com
mittee, and head Of the money trust
investigating committee. In an ex-
elusive interview, with the United
Press, Pujo said:
81 believe it is clearly shown that
the stock and some of the produce
exchanges, as we'll as most of the
clearing houses, are conspiracies In
restraint of trade. AS such, all Of
their interstate trade should be
barred from the mails. The commit
tee, I feel, will recommend such ac-
ton to the executive branch Of the
government. In listing securities. in
limiting the membership and by other
restrictions, stock exchanges and
clearing houses have become in effect
gigantic trusts, monopolies of COM
merce, that are amenable to law.
1.-THE New York stock exchange is
a striking example of this business
domination. The postal laws will be
invoked to exclude the exchanges, as
sociations, or bankers and brokers,
from use of the mails Interstate
commerce unless complete reorgani-
zation is made. Federal supervision
will be demanded. 1t is the purpose
of our investigation to present these
conditions to congress and to the
country the demands for legislation
which will enforce the most revolu-
tionary and beneficial reforms, in the
credit system of the country.

Oriqin of Croquet.

The origin of croquet is certainly In
volved IN mystery. Some authorities
are of the opinion that it is founded on
the old game of "pale maille," or pell-
nell, from which we have the street
Pail Mall. This Is described by Cot
&f6xe.1n~His dictionary as "a game
wherein a round box bowie Is with a
mallet struck through a high arch Of
yron," and a picture of this in Struts
"Sports and Pastimes" shows that
these had a strong resemblance to the
croquet implements of today.
