Although fifty-three years old, the
grand duchess is still as vivacious as a
kitten, and claims to be the best royal
tango dancer in Europe. Her oft-recur-
ring desire for a social fling forces her
TO cling to Paris, because some years ago
the Kaiser banned her from the Prussian
court, and she rarely sees her daughter,
the wife of the crown prince. She also
is ostracized by other European courts
and the only people who tolerate her So
ctally are the French and American host
esses who regard her battering of court
etiquette only with amusement. Paris
makes full allowance for her effervescent
Romanoff spirits.
Just as the young Russian Princess
Marie had to fly to Paris recently, be-
cause she could not tolerate the stiff, un-
bending ceremony forced upon her at
Stockholm, so the brand Duchess of

Paris, Dec. T.-The American society
leaders here have lost their Russian
grand dukes and grand duchesses, and
with their departure for different parts

London, Dec. 27.-Henry Beardsley.
president of the Beardsley banking con-
Germ. in New York. gave to The Washing

ion of what he termed Wilson's dilatory
policy in Mexico"
Mr.. Beardsley, who has first hand
knowledge of the conditions in Mexico,
said that in his opinion the President had
made a bad mistake at the outset by not
recognizing Huerta.
Until President Wilson learns that Il
is impossible TO govern Mexicans except
with a hand OF iron, he will fail to solve
the great problem. Already he has al
lowed the situation to get SO bad that 1t
seems now to be impossible to handle II
with anything but armed force.
Had Huerta had the support of the
United States in the first place. various
brigand leaders would have felt but lit
tie confidence in the ultimate success Of
their selfish aims, and consequently
would have allied themselves to the ex-
listing government

with the Huerta government weak
ening because of lack of support, the
rebel forces under unscrupulous leaders
are closing in on the capital from the
north and south, and when the Huerta
administration falls We shall have the
edifying spectacle of another war be-
tween North and South Mexico with the
result just as fruitless as before.
I'm my opinion. the only solution is for
us to assume complete control in Mexico.
although / cannot see what the ultimate
benefit will be to the United States at
large. Such Intervention could benefit
private interests only. but II must be ad-
mitted that Mr.. Wilson has now placed
armed Intervention within the realm of
possibility"
Mr.. Beardsley declared that outside of
the Mexican question, he was an ardent
admirer of President Wilson's policies.
He expressed the opinion that the Pres
ident's Mexican policy was due wholly
to his ignorance OF the real conditions
there.

DANCER CAUSES COURT SPLIT.

abIc to The Washington Herald.

Special Cable to The Washington Herald.
London, Dec. 27.-Ethel Levy, who
scored a brilliant success in the new Hip
podrome revue, "Hullo Tango" this
week, is the cause of an interesting situa-
ton between the Earl and Countess Of
Portarlington and the royal family.
There is a belief that this lively young
peer and his Australian wife will fall
into disfavor at court as a result of their
recent affair.
Ardent friends of the theatrical profess
sion, the Portarlingtons, recently invited
Prince Alexander of Battenberg, a grand
son of Queen Victoria and brother of
Queen Victoria of Spain TO luncheon and
put the prince between the hostess and
Miss Levy. Thus other peeresses were
made to take second place to the clever
American vaudeville singer.
So shocked was the young scion of roy
atty by this blow to traditional etiquette
of Great Britain that a report was made
of the Portarlington's ''Bohemianism" to
the King and Queen, with the result, 1t
is feared, that an example will be made
of the peer and his countess.

lived, is now offered for sale. The pres

his descent from Columbus.
controversy has been raging over the
authenticity Of the window. but Dornel-
las claims to be able to set all doubts
at rest by means of a memoir supported
by documentary evidence. The Portu-
guese academician has decided to part
with the relic of his iIlustrious ancestor
with great reluctance, but he has been
forced to do this in order to obtain money
with which to pursue his scientific re-
search work.
u. :. Proper Place.
The suggestion has been made here
that the only proper resting place for the
window in the future is in the United
States, and that II would prove a great
attraction at the Panama-Pacific Expo
sition in San Francisco, where it might
be displayed with the casket containing
the ashes of Columbus.
In supporting his contention that the
navigator lived in the Funchal house.
Dornellas says that Columbus married
Filippa Monim, daughter of Bartholomew
Perestrello, first governor of the island
of Porto Santo, which is forty miles from
Madeira. The supposition that Columbus
never lived in Funchsl, says Dornellas, Is
preposterous.
''It was from there" says Dornellas.
that Columbus witnessed the sailing OF
the vessel Don Fernando, which the Lord
Of Madeira sent to search for islands
sighted somewhere to the northwest by
Gonzalo de Tavira on his return from
Sold River The writer Las Casas also
tells how he heard from Diego Columbus
that Christopher lived in Madeira, where
the news of the wonderful discoveries
we're received daily, and that this was
the real starting point of the eNpedi-
ton which led to the discovery of Amer

The Gothic window now offered for sale
is from the Columbus house" which was
torn down in 1877, and the upper part of
which DorneIlas owned. This house stood
between Esmeralda and Sabao streets in
Funchal, but, although the uninterrupted
local tradition held that Columbus, lived
in the house. the local authorities de-
stroyed it to meet the requirements of |
the towns improvements. The window |
serves as the frontispiece in the book "A
Winter in Madeira" by American Con- |
sui General Dix.
