GOSSIP OF THE COURTS

Writing the other day about the
godson of the Duke of Argyll, the
Maclaine Of Lochhule, lord of the Isle
o. Null, with its $4,000 acres of forest,
glen, and sporting waters, recalls that
the coast of the United Kingdom is
studded with a number of such little
islands, the property mostly of inn
pcverished nobility, about which there
is little if anything known in this
country Let me describe the most
noted of them:
The proprietors Of the island king
doms while owing allegiance to King
George, nevertheless, are monarchs
"of all they survey" In some in
stances the British Parliament has
no power to tax these island estates
without the consent OF their owners,
nor can any one reside upon them
without their permission. Perhaps
the principal of these island prop
critics is Lewis, in the Hebrides. whose
present ruler is Maj. Matheson. Lewis
boasts of an area of 487. .221 acres and
a population of nearly 100000 II is
the largest British island next to Ire
land. 1t has figured largely in Scot
/ ish history, and the doings OF that
noted warrior chief Rural Macleod,
who once ruled it, would fill volumes.
Over aud over again British kings
| have dispatched soldiers to take the
island. After a few months occupa-
| tion, however, they invariably retire
beaten. At one time the island fell
into the hands of the Dutch, but event.
ually they also we're driven out.
The island boasts Of extensive
locks" where magnificent fishing Is
to be held, while some parts Of
liz are mountainous, Mealasbhal and
Ben More, the two highest peaks, tow
ering eighteen hundred feet above sea
level Everywhere there are numer-
GUS antiquities and Druidical remains.
| The owners residence is a magnifi-
iccnt old castle, close to Stornoway,
the principal town. Members of the
royal family have stayed here, includ-
ling the late King Edward. The prin-
cipal industry is fishing. and in season
the girls Of Stornoway 60 all over
Scotland packing herring. Their Ian
iguage is pure Gaelic.
In these northern waters. too, is Ar
ran, another interesting island. ruled
/ by the Marchioness Of Graham, wife OF
tho eldest son and heir to the Duke Of
/ Montrose. il was as Lady Mary Ham
lilton that the marchioness inherited
this estate from her father the late
Duke of Hamilton. The island is nine
teen miles long and ten and one-half
I in width, with an area of l68 square
miles, and has had a romantic history.
Along the cliffs of the south coast
there are several large cayerns. one
being known as Kings Cave. Here
Robert Bruce hid himself for some
time while it was from Brodrick Bay
that Bruce sailed TO Carrick on his ex-
lpedition for the recovery OF the crown.
There are many interesting ruins, too,
such as Lochranza Castle once the
lrcsidence Of the Scot kings. Then
there are cairns. standing stones and

relics consist of a number or standingI
stones and an extensive bone cave,
The owners residence Is Colonsay
House. which has been the seat of thel
McNeills since the sixteenth century.
In the Inner Hebrides there is tol
be found the Island of Rum. or Rhum,
ruled by Sir John Bullough. This isl
virtually a huge deer reserve, whichl
is zealously preserved by its ownerlI
The island reserve is eight ard a half
miles in length by eight miles in|
breadth. OF its forty-two square miles,
OF area only 800 acres are arabic, and
these are devoted to sheep farming
The island is a mass of high sharpl
peaks, many towering 2000 feet and,
more in height
In 1926 the 400 crofters living on
the island all were sent off to Amer
lea, with the exception of a single
family, and the arabic land converted
into a sheep farm. Today the Rhum
has q population of only 149, who ac-I
knowledge Sir John Bullough as their
lrightful lord and master. He resides
at Kinloch Castle and dispenses there
Ia hospitality in keeping with the ira
lditions Of the island.
In the Outer Hebrides is the Island
Iof North Uist, belonging to Sir ArthuT
H. -Campbell-Orde, who served vita
distinction in the South African war.
no one can reside on the island with
tout the owners permission, and no
taxes can be levied without the con-
sent of its ruler. II has an area Of
10000 acres and a population of near
lly four thousand. The eastern half
lof the island is cut up by lochs and
water courses. so as TO have the ap-
ipearance of an archipelago. Bonnie
Prince Charles is said to have landed
on North Uist and hidden in the
heather
In Bristol Channel we find Lundy.
perhaps the best known of all the
lisland5 It has been the haunt of pi-
rates and murderers, smugglers and
lconvicts. At one time it fell into the
hands of Turkish privateers; at an
other it was held by French pirates,
About seventy years ago Lundy by
purchase passed into the hands of the
Heaven family and there it still re-
mains The price paid for it was $3.50
pounds. The Rev. H. C. Heaven IS
1.-THE present owner. He became curate
lin 1864, and as a curate and vicar he
has since remained lord of $4,000
acres and OF about a hundred souls.
The island figures in Kingsley 8

place of Judas" Stukeley. Half a mile
from the southern end is Lundy Light

aground on the Shutter Eock at the
southern end of the isle. some FIVE
years ago, and became. a total wreck.

nROFESSOR A. r. SPA1D, superintendent OF public
schools Ia rural New Castle county. has resigned
He viii reliuquish his Office in September. Few who
know him and his ability as an educator and an admin
istrator OF educators viii blame him. The wonder is
that he has held the position long and done his
work well for such miserable salary as he has re-
oeiyed the last years.
That man of his ability should be asked to con-
troll the work of l76 teachers and the affairs of 10
separate school buildings conserve the educational
interests of 5000 school children for the palry salary
of $1,000 year. approximately S24 a week is enough
to shock the of fairness of any enlightened com
munity. We think the people win commend him for
having at last taken a step he should have taken long
His action doubtless will result in the placing of
the Office upon a better plane in point of salary
Professor Spad is one of the best school supern-
tendents this county has had He has done much
for the of higher education the rural districts
Had he been paid properly he would have remained
to do more There seemingly is desire on his part
apart from the matter salary to give up the work
He likes IT, With him it is a hobby. but an eminentiy
practical one In resgning he takes the ground that
the salary is so low that it is out of the question
for him and his family TO live decency and comfort
upon IT,
Al the last session OF the Legislature an effort was
made to have tho salary increased 81 200 to 500
It failed. Meantime Governor Miller had reappointed
Professor spaid without the professor having applied
lot ledppomuhehL mat was signal recognition by the
executive Of the fitness Professor spad for the Of
fee he holds.
When the law passed creating the Office Of State
Commissioner Of Education, with salary of $4,000
year, Professor spaid became applicant for the
place He had served nine years as principal of du-
Pont School and ten years county superintendent
In addition he had splendid Endorsement for the new
ly-created position. He thought ne was entitled to
recognition and preferment The misfortune Of fail

stone collins were found in Brodrici1
Castle. The owners residence is on
the site of the old and historic struc-
ture, but it has been rebuilt in South
baronical style. Situated upon the
northwest shore of Brodrick Bay. its
position is an exceptionally fine one.
In 1902, when cruising in these
waters King Edward paid a visit to
the castle.
The Isle of Butte, in the Firth OF
Clyde, is said to possess the mildest
climate in Scotland. Its owner is the
MARQUES OF Butte, who lords it over
a kingdom of forty-nine square miles
In extent and boasting of a population
of 11,000 The scenery in some places
is very picturesque. There are six
lakes, the largest being Loch Fad, two
and one-half miles long. Here. in a
cottage. lived Kean, the great actor
and also Sheridan Knowles, the IA
nous dramatist. Among tho antiqui-
ties of Butte is Kames Castle. The
principal town is Rothesay, in the
centre of which stands Rothesay Cas-
tie, dating back to the year 1898. II
lis here that Robert III died. From
All early period Butte was more or less
subject to the Norwegians, who held
the castle.
Not far from Butte is the Island Of
Islay, now governed by Mr.. Hugh Nor
rison, brother-in-law of Lord Fran
vile. This is the richest and mos
productive island of the Hebrides, anC
was the principal residence of the
Macdonalds, lords of the isles Early
lin the seventeenth century il passed
from the Macleans to the Campbells
and afterward to the niorrisons. i
has length of twenty-five and a hal
miles, a breadth of nineteen, and Z
total area of 246 square miles. Tn,
population numbers 1000.
The Duke of Argyll includes in hi!
possessions not only Tyree Island
but also the Island of Iona, the mos
sacred and historic spot in all Scot
land. It's history began in the yeai
563. when st. Columbia, leaving thu
shores of ireland, landed upon Ion;
with twelve disciples. Having obtain

J. Ham Lewis Talks

BOSTON, Nov. 1.-Europe and Mexico would regard the defeat of the democratic candidate for govern or Lieutenant Governor David I. Walsh as a repudiation of President Wilson's foreign policies, according to United States Senator James Hamil- Lewis, who addressed a demo- cratic rally tonight. Senator Lewis entered the Massachusetts campaign hurriedly. at the request of President Wilson.
 You decide the election against the democrat" he said, "and the morning after this declaration, the Japanese in the Orient, recalling the fight of Massachusetts in behalf of the libery of the black man. will cry aloud that Massachusetts has repu- diated her president on the yellow question: that she has defeated him in his purpose to protect California and Massachusetts in their right of state rule and home government.
 England, Germany and Spain will misunderstood the result because of the same considerations, and would at once conclude that President Will sons Mexican policy has been repu- diated; that he has been condemned and the administration overthrown. Mexico will go further; she will preach to her people that this con demnatiOn is because he had not re- cognized Huerta."

Snarl is Reached in Run ming Discussion of Meas ure by Senate Banking and Currency Committee Over Matter of Control
MAY GO TO
 SENATE FLOOR
Hope for Unanimous Re port from Committee Hinges Upon Question of Control of the Regional Banks
ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH

WASHINGTON, Nov IA snare was reached today in the running dis cussion of the currency bill by the sen ate banking committee when the com mitte spent hours in debating capftali- zatiOn and control of the four regional banks tentatively proposed to admin ister the new system. The committee adjourned tonight until Wednesday without taking affirmative action.
 Several members took the position that hope for a unanimous report from the committe hinged upon the question of the control of the regional banks, which may lie either in the gov ernment or in a number of banks. Supporters of the strict governmental control theory said they would com bat any bank control of banks, even to fight on the floor of the senate
 The administration supporters in the committee adhered to the plan in the bill as it came from the house, by which the banks would elect six di- rectors of each regional bank and the federal reserve board would appoint three. The board, however, would have the power to remove three of the bank directors.
 The committee rejected to 4 the proposition, advanced by Senator Hitchcock, by which the entire system would be capitalized at $1OO, 900 to be subscribed by banks underwriting the stock and selling it to the pubic.
 Senator O'Gorman proposed that each regional bank be capitalized at 10 per cent of the national bank capital in the district which it served and that each bank control it's own capital He suggested two means of securing capi- tai. The first would require the banks to underwrite the stock and offer it to the public. The second would require the banks to subscribe to the amount of per cent of the capital stock and would leave it open to public subscrip- tion.

Says, However, It Cannot See How That Should Al feet Wilson's Attitude as Validity of Election is Not Questioned
SAYS SOME VOTES
 WE'RE ARTIFICIAL
Contends That Frederic Gamboa, Backed by a Strong Party, Received More Genuine Votes Than Any Other Candidate
ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH

MEXICO CITY, Nov. 1.-EI Pais, the nearest approach to an independ- ent newspaper in Mexico City, edi- torially admits today that there was government influence in last Sun days elections.
 The Ell Pals editorial said:
 Tt is evident and notorious that the authorities secured the triumph of the Huerta- Banquet ticket This we do not dobt. bt it is far cry from the way it may have occurred to questioning the validity of the elections.
 Suppose the Huerta- -Blanquet ticket had not been put out, would the votes cast for it have gone to Manel Calero and Frederico Gamboa or Felix Diaz? It is clear they would not, because they were artificial votes, invented and non-existent.
 And what if this be so? Is it materially possible, for Mexico to have a valid election in the present circumstances of revolution and poi tical disorder.
 That Frederico Gamboa received more votes than anybody, we have already known, because he was backed by a strong party; but would those votes for SenOr GambOa Vali- date the election under our laws. This is what President Wilson should find out. It is unjust and irrational on his part to declare from Wash ington, nder the suggestion of the Madero family, that he will not ac- cept the results of our elections"
