THAT is true, Lizzie; II was irreB-
ular, and certainly very inconvenient.
And 1t is serious enough, SO far as
breaking my engagements is con-
cerned. But the circumstances were
very unusual and-pressing. Some
one else gave the message at the ho-
tel, and, as you know. ! had no time
even to get a satchel."
That's what l said when the re-
porters came-that you were so wor-
rfed over your sick relative that you
did not walt for anything"
Agatha groaned. "Did-did the pa
pers have much to say about my
leaving town."
"They had columns. Miss Redmond.
and some OF them had your picture on
the front page with an announcement
of your elopement. But Mr.. Straker
contradicted that; he told them he
had heard from you. and that you
were at the bedside OF dying rela-
tive Besides that, Miss Redmond. the
difficulty in getting up an elopement
story was the lack of a probable man.
Your manager and your accompanist
were both found and interviewed, and
there wasn't anybody else in New
York except me who knew you Your
discretion, Miss Redmond. has always
been remarkable"
Agatha was suddenly tired of Lizzie.
Very we'll. Lizzie, that will do. You
may go and get your own things un-
packed We shant return to New
York for several days yet"
You've heard from Mr.. Straker. oi
course, Miss Redmond?"
NO but have written to him. ex
planning everything. Why?"
"Oh, nothing; only when sent him
word that l had heard from you. he
said at first that he was coming here
with me. Some business prevented
him, but he must have telegraphed."
Maybe he has; but 1t takes some
time evidently. for hidden person
to be discovered in Ilion."
AS soon as the words were of hel
lips, Agatha realized that she had
made slip. One has to look sharI
when talking to sophisticated maid
But were you hiding, Miss Red
mond?" Lizzie artlessly inquired.
"Oh. no. Lizzie; don't be silly. The
telegram probably went wrong; tele
grams often do"
Not when Mr.. Straker sends them,
proffered Lizzie. But II his kilograms
have gone wrong. you may count OIL
his coming down here himself. He Ii
much worried over the rehearsals
which begin early In the month, he
gaid And he got the full directions
you sent me for coming here: he
would have them"
Agatha knew her managers peril
nacity when once on the track of ar
object Moreover. the humor of the
situation passed from her mind, leav
ing only vivid impression OF the
trouble and worry which were sure tc
follow such a serious breaking up o.
well established plans. She was rare

very unjust toward her much-triet

STRIKING BARRIERS
 ACCOMPLISH LITTLE
'Strong Arm" POrters Calm Feeling
 of RiOting ''Face Scrapers.'

New York, May 13.-Several hun dred striking barbers from the east side marched up Broadway today and then marched back again without en- listing any recruits from the shops of the large hotels. The tonsorial ar lists along the great White Way felt a stronger bond of sympathy for their tips than for their fellow workmen and ignored the demand of the strik- CTS to desert their chairs. Reception committees, consisting of strong arm porters, awaited the marching strikers at each hotel. The sight of these squads served to quiet the feel ing of the barbers, who earlier in the day had ben in fear of mass attack on all shops which remained open.
 The most serious disturbance occur red at the Hermitage, on Forty-sec- ond street. The path of the strikers was barred by numerous porters and those who managed to gain an en- trance were promptly and effectively removed.

JAPAN ISSUE IS
 IN THE BALANCE
ALL EYES ARE TURNED ON GOV. ERNOR JOHNSON WHO IS EX-
 PECTED TO SIGN ALIEN LAW
Wilson Hints That California Bar.
 rier Is "Alleged IneIigibility."
(By JOHN TEMPLE GRAVES)

(By JOHN TEMPLE GRAVES)
 Washington, May 13.- Secretary Bryan is speaking at Harrisburg, Pa, tonight, Private Secretary Tumulty is in New Jersey and President Wilson is holding the balance Of diplomacy against Japan, while the interest centers about Governor Johnson re- ply to Secretary Bryan's message of Sunday. The executive office clos ed this evening witho11 the message from California, but it is expected to- morrow.
 Delay, however, no matter how little, is welcomed by the President in dealing with the Japanese govern ment on the California issue. The Japanese embassy here is likewise waiting for Governor Johnson either to veto or to sign the alien land bill. Until he has acted one way or thu other the ambassador will make no further representation to Secretary of State Bryan.
 There is little hope here in off cia1 quarters that Governor Johnson will veto the bill. Much as such ac- tion is desired to find any reason to believe that there is the slightest pos. sibility of Governor Johnson with holding the suggestion of approval of the anti-Japanese measure. As to Japan's objective claim for citizen ship a word dropped by the President is significant. In his confidential talk with newspaper men yester- day, he referred to the California bar rier as alleged ineligibility" and de- clared it was matter of interpreta- tiOn.

Finance Committee Must Take Action j'i "Eroad Light of
 Bay"

Washington, May 13.---Paes :.ient Wilson today permlf: d those .n a,th- or;ty about him D s.l, that Ee will not oppose any amend 1teats to tie Tariff bill that are iii interest ,t fair play and intended to equal irequaI- ities that may have crep: into .he House measure
 This is the first pubic intima6ion that tho president is feeling the effect of letters and telegrams sent him, urging him to stand on lis declara tion in his first annual message to congress. In this message MT. Wilson said that in the revision of the Tariit along Democratic lines ,n industri. S must be destroyed.
 Innumerable letters and telegrams received by the president since the Underwood bill passed the House, have apparently convinced him that the house bill spells destruction for many flourishing industries. Instead of standing as he did a week ago, refus- ing to listen to the sugar men and disdaining to receive arguments from men who understand the sugar and wool industry, Mir. Wilson has been compelled to admit that caaESaa lt.;lv be essential. Today he gave it out through those who talked with him that whatever the finance committee of the senate did must be done in the broad light of day.
 Senator William Alden Smith, of Michigan, said that if a ,nem3er If the finance committee knew no more about the facts relative to an industry that the committee intended to de- stroy than the senator from Colorado did about the industries of his own state, the demand for public hearings surely ought to be complied with.
 The debate over the question of hearings grew acrimonious at times.

Relatives of A. J. Medium phy, Who Live Near Pine
 Bluff, Contest Will.
OWNED RACE HORSES
Married Twice as Dr. Wyman and h. herited Large Fortune From
 His First Wife.

Bloomington, H., May 13.-Rela- tives in Arkansas who are trying to secure possession of fortune left by Andrew J. McGlumphy, who died re- discovered that he massueraded as another man and was known for a number of years as Dr. c. k. Wyman
 A brother, Rev. George McGlumphy, and a sister, Mrs. Ella McGlumphy Hill, residing in the vicinity of Pine Bluff, Ark, are pushing the investiga- tion. The McGlumphy family resided for a number of years in Lincoln, a short distance south of this city, and the head of the family, Dr. Andrew J. McGlumphy, was president of Lincoln University for a number of years.
 There were three sons-Samuel, now deceased; George, now an Ark ansas clergyman, and Andrew Jr The family removed to Arkansas in the
 eighties and were heard from no more until the recent investigation was instituted. Andrew .Jr., after leaving Lincoln, fell in with den- tist by the name of G. E. Wyman. The latter employed the youth as an as- sistant; taught him the art of dent istry and treated him as son.
 When Wyman died McGlumphy de- Il ~e and practice dentistry under Wyman's license. At Kansas City he fell in with a girl of wealth and married her. She lived but few years. Medium phy or as he was then known. Wy man, inherited his wife's fortune and became a sport, investing his money in race horses and following the turf with more or less success.
 He is also said to have made mo- married was formerly Miss Jessie Davis of Lexington, this county, and McGlumphy practiced dentistry for a time at Lexington. The couple erect ed a palatial country home, which ranked as the finest in the country. This residence was destroyed by fire.
 Mrs. McGlumphy, or, as she was known, Wyman, died, said to be due to a broken heart. Wyman then drift ed to various portions of the country, married again and finally drifted in to Danville, Ill.,, where he opened a racing stable. He carried three valu able horses and wore many dia- monds. A saloonkeeper, who was his boon companion and exercised strong influence over him, it is alleged, was fortune of Wyman when the latter died January 12, 1912.
 The relatives of McGlumphy are now engaged in securing evidence which will enable them to take legal action to secure the invalidation of this will and recover the estate of their brother Among his effects was a note for $1,00O given by the saloon keeper, but which was cancelled in l the will. Fortunately for the Arkan- sas relatives the Vermillion county !! circuit judge refused to permit the legatee to take possession until he had given bond to protect any future claimants.
 AS this bond could not be given the | estate is under the control of the court and, if the Arkansas relatives are able to produce satisfactory evil dence that Wyman was formerly An drew McGlumphy and the various all legations about his dual existence are accompanied by proofs, they will probably be given possession. The case will come up at the June term of the Vermillion county court.
