VERY DISTURBING PROSPECTS
Mexico. Central and South America's Ready to Aid Japan In Spirit of
 Revenge Says Senator Lewis.

Springfield, Ills, April 25-The Uni ted States is in prospect of war witt Japan it has a disturbance with England over the Panama Cana ica are enemies of this country, ac- cording to the views of Senator James Hamilton Lewis as expressed by him last night in an address before a join1 session of the Illinois Legislature.
 Senator Lewis declared that Mex making Combinations and alliances against the United States as revengef and he added:
 "AI1 Of these are biding their time to aid Japan or any oriental or Euro pean enemy in an assault upon us and in the destruction of the Panama Ca naL''
 He said it was thee result of tour late course of unnecessarily meddling at the direction of stock speculators into the private and financial affairs of foreign lands.''
 Senator Lewis address was de1iv- cred before the Legislatures on the versary of the birth of stephen A. Douglas.
 Referring to the United States Sen ate in the days of Douglas, Trumbull, Webster and Clay, compared with the present day estimate, Senator Lewis said:
 "In those days the United States Senate in the influencing of opinion of the American citizen, was the most powerful legislative body in the world, but in affecting the market rates of stock speculation it was of little con- sideration, as it should have been. The reverse is seen in theN present day. In matters, of finance and stock mar ket gambling the United States Sen ate is the most potent, in its least ex- pression of Legislation, of all tribun- als. But such has been its course in later days that in the influencing of the political opinions of the citizen the United States Senate of today is the least potent of any legislative body in the world.
 Senator Douglas had as his poIiti- cal Hfe-theme the establishment of home rule, or self-government in each state of Political division, and this to be sovereign in all matters of purely local concern-when not conflicting with the Constitution of the United States If this creed had been adher- ed to through this land, no such dis credit would today have been cIouding the United States courts as now ex- itsts. This dark reflection upon these heretofore eminent tribunals has been caused by the assumption on the part of these Federal agencies to intrude upon all state government, and to the end that they might accommodate financial contentious they inconsider- ately, with every opportunity afforded, declare state legislation and munich pal regulation invalid whenever the same assume to control the rates of public service corporations.
 Then, in the stead of these local regulations prescribed by the people

It should be however that the old bridge would we'll enough it for it's by the trolley company and that organization should contribute beray to the construction and maintenance of the bridge

BRYAN TOOK POST
 ON A 'fDRY" BASIS
Exacted WineIess Dinner PriVi- lege from President Before
 Accepting Office

Washington, April 25-When William J. Bryan accepted the State portfolio 1 in the wilson Cabinet he stipulated as @. condition that he should have the privilege of giving wireless dinners to diplomats. President Wilson cheerful lv left the matter to Secretary Bryane own judgment.
 The Secretary in a formal statement just issued makes it known that all of his State dinners are to be ''dry"
 MT Bryan's statement was issued on account of the comment caused by his serving unfermented grape juice and no wine at his dinner the other night in honor of James Bryce, the retiring British Ambassador, and Mrs. Bryce
 Here is MT. Bryan's account of the first official dry dinner Washington has seen in many a day:
 We did not intend to magnify, by mentioning it, the importance of the non-use of wine at the dinner given to Ambassador Bryce. Monday night, but as the papers have made some inac- curate references to the matter the facts might as well be known.
 '"This was the first dinner which we have given to members of the Diplo- matic Corps and therefore the first time when we came in conflict with the social custom of serving wine at dinner.
 ssFhe seven other Ambassadors then in the city and their ladies were in vfted to meet Ambassador and Mrs. Bryce, and as all the gentlemen guests present were from foreign countries thought 1t proper to explain to them the reason for our failure to conform to what seems to have been customary in this matter.
 ''Believing that the issue should be met frankly in the beginning, I told them when we sat down to the table that Mrs. Bryan and I had been tee tota1ers from OUT youth, as were our parents before us, and had never serv- ed liquor at our table; that when the President was kind enough to tender me the portfolio of State asked him whether our failure to serve wine would be any embarrassment to the Administration and that he generously left the matter to our discretion. My remarks were applauded by the company and we never spent a. more enjoyable evening.
 t@That is all there is to the matter, and we can consider the incident clos ed and a custom established as far as we are concerned.''

VOLLMER FITTED ON
 HIS 54TH BIRTHDAY

The fifty-fourth birthday of an off ciaI who said he felt but thirty and fully. sustained his words-EIigh Sher- if William Vo1Imer, of Fairfield coun- ty-was fittingly celebrated in the sheriffs apartments at the county jail, last night, when over a hundred dep 1ties and friends assembled in a sur prise party to present him with ma terial token of their esteem.
 While fully intended as surprise, news had s.leaked'' and a buffet lunch had been prepared in expectance of the guests arrival, which, together with the large amount of vocal ana ora toricaI talent present, combined to make the evening one of pleasant re- membrance.
 A large framed photograph of all the Fairfield County Deputies was pre- sented in a neat speech by Deputy Hezekith R. Elwood. of Fairfield, fol lowed by a fitting reply from Sheriff VoIImer. who during the evening re- ceived congratulations for those pres ent

is said that the Princess has confess ed to the ladies of the court that the article of this kind which she most yearns for is a pair of earrings set with diamonds and rubies.
 Officially Princess Mary is still a child, although she is being educated in the social graces preparatory to her formal debut two years from to- day, when she will be eighteen. Among other things the Princess is being instructed in the art of mod cling in clay. and is said to entertain an ambition to become a sculptor. In this she follows the example of her great-aunt, the Duchess of Argyll, who was the pioneer artist among aristocratfc women.

The first national anthem of the United States, Hail, Colun bia!" was first sung in public at the Chestnut Street Theatre in Philadelphia 115 years ago tonight. It was composed by Joseph Hopkinson, later a federal fudge, and the house in which 1t was written is still standing. The song was written by Hopkinson, then twen- ty-eigft years of age, in the Summ CT of 179s, when a war with France was thought to be imminent. Philadel- phians, in common with the remain der of the people of the infant repub- lie, were divided into warning camps, some advocating allegiance to France while others proposed to take sides with England. The object of the au- thor of the song was to arouse an American spirit that would be "above the interests, passions and policy of both beI1igerents." Gilbert Fox, a pop uIar young singer, was a friend of Hoplinson's. and to him the author entrusted the first singing of the an them. Fox was given a benefit on April 26, 179s, and the playbills an nounced that after the regular per formance "an entirely new song, writ ten by citizen of Philadelphia, will be sung by MT. Fox, accompanied by a full band and a grand chorus" The song was greeted with wild applause. and for some time was the popular anthem of the republic.

Princess Victoria Alexandra Alice Mary, only daughter of King George and Queen Mary, will be sweet six teen' to-day, having been born on April 25, 1897. She is the third-bo of the six children of the British roy al household. Although now just emerging from the tomboy period of a girls life into young ladyhood, she Is remarkably self-possessed in pub lie, and never shows signs of diff dence despite the attention rfveted up- on her by curious and admiring eyes Fathers usually have a special fond ness for their feminine offspring, and King George is no exception, for his only daughter Is the apple of his eye.''
 The little Princess" as loyal and loving English people affectionately call her, Is a wholesome, out-of-doors girl, and, like her mother, fond of riding, tennis and other open-air pas times Her face is of beautiful con tour, usually tanned by the sun, with the pink of health showing through. Brought up with her five brothers she has participated in their games and recreations, and Is equally skilled in many sports. Her brothers, especial ly the three who are her Juniors, look to her as preceptress and as the arbi- ter who will justly settle their dis putes. The late King Edward fair ly adored the Princess.
 The allowance given the Princess for personal expenditures would be sniffed at by many pampered girls of midd1e-class family, but from 1t she has saved enough to establish a goodly bank account. Until the last year or two she often went in person to the postoffice opposite Marlborough House, to deposit her savings, but that matter is now attended to by lady of the court. She is not neruit- ted to wear any jewels, except a sim pie gold chain with a diamond locket and, on state occasions, a string of perfectly matched pearls. Queen Mary has let it be understood that no one is to give Princess Mary jewelry of any kind until she passes her sew enteenth birthday Q year hence. It

1C ms achievement was born in Bo- !ogna on April 25. 1874, of an Italian rather and an Irish mother. It was Whlle he was student at Bologna University that the idea of wireless teIegraphy came to him. One day he threw stone into a pond. and idly watched the waves widening ali around Then in a flash of inspir.a- ton came the thought:
 If I fling 9 sound into the air. will IL not make sound waves correspond Ing to those on the pond ?''
 That thought, in the brain of an Sin ventive genius who had already made a thorough study of electrical science. was the genesis of wireless telegra nFv Newton's apple was hardly more won derful in it's results than ATarconi's stone.

He lost the use of his right eve in an automobile accident last year. and the orb had to be removed He now wears an artificial eye, so ingeniously contrfved that it is not to be dfstin- guished from the natural eye. The young inventor has recently been sub Jected to bitter personal attacks as a result of the controversy over the Marconi Company's contract with the British government for a chain of wireless stations over the empire
 Signor Marconi's wife is a daughter of the fourteenth Baron Inchiqufn.
