San Francisco, Nov, THAT the
confession of DR.. w. W. Fraser, chief
witness of those attacking the legiti-
macy of the child said TO have been
born TO Mrs. Dorothy c.. Slingsby, and
heir to a S1,000,000 estate, that he had
received $500 for classifying the child's
birth certificate. will destroy the case
of the Slingsbys. is the opinion of
many who have followed the case.
The story told by DR.. Fraser and
corroborated by Mrs Hattie Blain,
1nurse who ATTENDED Mrs. Slingsby
during her illness here in 1910, is as
follows:
Mrs. Slingsby came to San Fran
cisco late in the summer of 1910 from
her home in Vancouver, B. c. In
September of that year she gave birth
to a stillborn child. She then got in
touch with Dr. Fraser, who in turn
knew of a young girl in Santa Rosa
named Lillian Anderson. who had
given birth to an illegitimate child.
The Anderson girl wished to dispose
of her baby and arranged through
DR.. Fraser TO sell it for $50. She did
not even know the name of the wo-
man to whom the child was sold.
Mrs. Blain declared that Mrs.
Slingsby. burned her own babe, con-
cealing the whole transaction from
Lieutenant Slingsby, her husband.
Mrs. Blain admits having assisted in
the crime.

DR.. rI,.ser confesses that he re-
ceived $500 to make a false birth
certificate, setting forth that the sub
stituted child was the legitimate
child of Mrs. Slingsby.
The present investigation is being
made by the British vice consul here,
and upon his decision will rest the
disposition of a 100000 estate in
England. Lieutenant Sli1gsby him
self has been here and testified that
he believes the child to be his. 1t is
said the baby resembles Mrs. Slingsby.

Woman Football Coach.

Cincinnati, Ohio Nov. 1.-Cincin-
natl has come to the front with some
thing absolutely new-a woman foot
ball coach. Mrs. Charles Burckhart
of Price Hill is acting as chief assist
ant to Coach Miller of the Price Hill
eleven. Mrs. Burckhart is lover of
outdoor sports, but football is her
hobby. She is an athlete, having per-
formed on several Vassar teams. Mrs.
Burckhart asked to be allowed to join
the coaching squad and assist in
teaching several plays used by eastern
teams. Permission was granted and
she has been assisting ever since.

was to have q privilege conferred upon
one. At the police station l was again
treated with politeness and in the end
with locked door.
The Spanish policeman is not too
well paid He sports not an ambas-
sadorial salary. All he gets is . pc
setas a day. He is therefore anne
nable to the friendly and considerate
tip. This. I must hasten to say. how
ever. makes him none the less a
worthy anil effective guardian of law
and order.
He is shabby OF uniform. But that
Is not his fault 1t is the fault of
frugal government. In appearance no
looks something like an English post.
man and an impoverished Spanish
officer. But there is artistry about his
shabbiness. He fits into the picture.
Very often. especially in Andalusia.
he is old and rather infrm. One Is
often sorry for him as he humps along
with his sword trundling behind him.
But he has the wisdom that goes with
age. If he sees a row he looks at it
with his blind eye and allows it to
simmer down-a very good thing with
! rows.
If you ask a Spanish policeman
question he Is politeness itself. But
bis answer will be wrong. lie is a
mine of misleading information. He
doesn't know. Indeed. what lie doesn't
know about the names of streets and
the way to get to them and things
! generally would ill an encyclopedia.
! IL you want TO know anything you
must not ask a Spanish policeman.
Respect him. for be is of the best, but
! don't ask him questions.
In the nighttime he sometimes car.
ries a lance. He is then called a
serene. presumably because he brings
serenity upon troubled waters. He
looks very picturesque on n clear. star
| lit night and makes one think Of the
! times Of old-the times one reads about
in historical romances. But he is al
ways harmless. always peaceful and
-eady for a friendly gossip. He is
really sereno-a serene person. His
lance is merely there to round off his
artistic and romantic appearance. And

The policeman of Catalonia is some
what different from the policeman OF
AndalDsia. He Is alert. pushful and
interfering He is apt to want TO know
who you are and what you are and
what your business may be. But Gaia

to be above the figure. The official
estimate indicated a condition of 791

This was too much for the trade,

BALKAN PEACE TREATY SIGNED
STRIFE BETWEEN TURKEY AND
THE ALLIES SETTLED.
Disappointment Expressed by Monte
negro Being Left Out and Oespoil-
ed Of Her Just Share.

London.-Thc eight months war be
tween Turkey and the allied Balkan
states is ended The peace of Lon
don" was signed Friday on the pic
ture gallery of 81. James palace. Sir
Edward Grey. the British foreign sec
rotary. presided over the formalities.
The following peace delegates signed
the preliminary treaty.
0sman Miami Pasha for Turkey,
DIR. Daneff for Bulgaria. Stefan Nova
kovitch for Servia. StephanOs Sko'
loudis for Greece and NJ. POpovitCh
for Montenegro.
The only dramatic feature of the
historic occasion was NJ. P0povitch's
expression Of keen disappointment
that Montenegro had been "despoiled
of her just share of the spoils OF a
triumphant war" and of the hope that
England. which took the lead in the
spoliation." would take every step to
compensate Montenegro for her sacri-
flee.
The actual ceremony was very brief,
The delegates signed the treaty with
out reading it, evidently in full con
fdence that the seven articles were
in such wording as the powers chose
to have them.
The Bulgarian delegate proposed
that peace become Immediately affec-
tive without ratification of the treaty.
This proposal was rejected.
After informing the ambassadorial
conference of the signing of the peace
draft. Sir Edward Grey suggested that
the conference limit its discussion to
three questions-a constitution for
Albania, the delimitation of the south
ern frontier of Albania and the status
of the Aegean islands. The ambassa-
doris now are awaiting further instruc-
tons from their governments regard
ing a constitution for Albania, but the
conference is working in greater har-
mony and expects to conclude its
labors by the end of June.
DIR. S. Daneff. the Bulgarian peace
delegate, in the course of an inter
view after the signing of the prelimi-
nary treaty of peace. said:
IL am rejoiced. II means not only
Balkan peace. but general peace. and
Europe is saved from one of the most
thorny problems of the age.
I'VE owe deep debt of gratitude
to Sir Edward Grey. whose enduring
and untiring mastery in treating dip
lomatic problems has brought about
peace much sooner than some OF US
had expected"
