mill was open on the Willard street side

A suffragette Joke.

The militant suffragettes may burn
vacant buildings and destroy golf greens,
and the interest of the general public
is indirect and often passive. A meth
cd of more real annoyance was wanted
something that would reach certain m
dividuals with particular severity, and a
series of hoaxes was devised. These
vary with the circumstances OF the case,
but practical joke played Prosecutor
Bodkin is typical.
Mr. Bodkin has conducted the case
for the government at many OF the sui :
fragette trials. He it was who proceed
ed against Mrs. Pankhurst. In the midst
of this trial he was called from his bed
at 8 o'clock one morning by telegram
which stated that his offices in the Tenn
pie were burning. Without waiting to
complete his dressing Mr.. Bodkin flung
on an oyercoat and was driven at high
speed through the deserted streets from
his home in the edge of London to the
Temple. Arrived there he found all
peaceful and dark. The prosecutor had
little doubt as TO what agency to at
tribute the hoax. but he was doubly con-
WINGED when, as he climbed into his car
for the drive home, he heard hooking
feminine voice from the direction Of the
embankment cry. "Notes for Women.
The next day Bodkin made his address
to the Jury in the Pankhurst case, and
some of the severity of his denuncia-
ton of the suifragette tactics has been
attributed to his early morning visit to
his offices.

American "Heirs" Bothersome.

The American embassy has been so
overwhelmed lately by requests from
America by heirs who believe that they
have enormous estates in chancery IN
England, that il has become necessary
to adopt printed form for the replies

The only thing the embassy is per
mitted to do in the matter is TO suggest
a competent legal adviser to investigate
the case. IL cannot itself conduct in
designations IL does, however, tell in
quirers that there are no large un-
claimed estates in Great Britain. The

American Tourists in Trouble.

Gustav A. Fudickar of Los Angeles,
Cal. has arrived iii London after escap-
ing from the clutches of the law officers
of the German emperor. As the result OF
his experience in Berlin, Mr.. Fudickar
will make a protest TO the state de-
partment at Washington against Ger
man law which has caused number OF
American tourists to get into niilicul-
ties with the authorities.
The California traveller was negotiat-
ing for the purchase OF some diamond
earrings for his wife in Berlin. de was
told that he could have the stones he
wanted for II 900 marks tS2750), and
an expert assured him that he was get
ting a bargain. He told the owner OF
the stones that If he decided to take
them he would have to await the receipt
OF further funds from home. In the
meantime he looked at the diamonds
again. and became convinced that poor
en- quality had been substituted.
The next morning the jewelers. assist.
ant called at MIR. Fudickar's hotel and
asked for deposit on the gems. The
American told him he had decided not
to take them. The assistant then reap
pearqd with an attachment against MIR
Fridickar's baggage. This, however, was
not levied, and the American by quick
work. succeeded also in frustrating an
attempt to attach his cash deposit in
local bank.
At the American consulate Mr.. fud-
lickar was informed that his only rem
edy was a suit N the civil courts, which
might drag for three years. The Cali
fornian decided to brush the dust OF Ber'
lin from his feet, but before leaving he
learned that many other Americans have
suffered similar treatment in Berlin

LONDON MYSTERY OF
BREAKFAST BACON
Was Explained When II Was Found Lit
tie American Girl Had Appro-
priated II.

London, May 5.--Grand Duke Andreas,
first cousin of the emperor of Russia,
on his way home from visit to Switz-
erland, tells good story OF how the
grand duchess was deprived OF her Ia
yorite breakfast dish at hotel because
of the liking OF a little English girl
for broiled bacon.
The grand ducal party had a suite OF
rooms in a well known hotel at ST.
Moritz. An American lady, accompan'
led by nine year-old English girl, ar
rived at the hotel only to find that there
was no room for them. The grand duke
noticed their predicament, and very cour-
teously offered spare room in his suite
This room was next to the bedroom oc-
cupied by the grand duchess, In the
corridor outside sentinel was constant
lly on duty, SO when every morning the
breakfast bacon, left on table outside
her door, disappeared, a mystery was
created which enraged the duchess and
drove the manager of the hotel almost
mad with despair.
Finally the American lady heard OF
the trouble, and she recalled that every
morning her charge had asked permis-
sion to play in the corridor. She watched
the girl unobserved from the doorway
the next morning, and was amazed To
see her snatch the bacon and conceal it
under her coat while the sentry was
making his military march up the cor
ridor.
When confronted, the little girl ex.
planned that she liked bacon, but said
She had always been careful to save
some fat for the duchess. Her Ameri-
can guardian was overcome with embar-
rassment, but ths grand ducal party
took the matter as a huge joke, and
the grand duke expressed his forgive
ness by taking the little girl coasting
