Paris, Nov. 22-Harry G. Thomas, son
Of the late Maj Gen. Henry G. Thomas,
shortly will sail from Marseilles to the
Persian Gulf. taking with him a special
type of steam dredge. with which he
hopes to scoop up millions OF dollars
worth Of pearls. Thomas invented the
dredge. This announcement settles the
mystery which has set the Marseilles
buyers on their ears during the charter
ing and loading Of the inventors brig
during the past few weeks .
Thomas said today that his dredge
will pick up pearl oysters at depth of
forty-flye feet. which hitherto has been
unattainable by native fishers. He can
employ his system all the year round.
whereas formerly only two months. May
and September, were possible for the
prosecution of this industry. While his
brig is in the Persian Gulf her crew
will also search the Arabian Coast for
rich mineral deposits which are said to
abound in that locality.

London, Nov. 2.-The chief social event
this week was the royal shooting party
at Windsor, where the Duke and Duchess
Of Roxburghe Cthe former Miss Bradley
Martin, of New York;, were among the
prominent guests. The duchess is a great
favorite in royal society on account Of
her smiling, chatty, breezy personality.
incidentally, the tango craze led to the
attempt to establish one or two repu-
table night clubs lately, but on account
OF the atmospheric antagonism Of Lon
don to night life. these seem likely to
come to the same inglorious end as the
majority Of their predecessors, which
generally quickly degenerated into gam
bling dens or places of debauchery.
The name of the Duchess of Marl-
borough is heard everywhere just now.
1t is generally believed that she will
sometime occupy a position as social
leader only comparable with that of the
late Duchess of Devonshire. Already her
position in society is unquestioned.
JeaIoEs Enemies Succumb.
Society women who were once SO jeal-
Gus of the duchess as to spread scurri-
lous stories at the time of her separa-
tion from the duke. now use every de-
vice to obtain invitations to Sunderland
House whenever a party is announced.
The great charm of the duchess is her
simple, unaffected ways and intellectual
conversation, although she always looks
wistfully sad
Grand Duchess Vladimir and her son,
the Grand Duke Boris. whose American
exploits are still famous here, are at
present staying in London, giving stiff
necked hostesses much ofense by their
Bohemianism. II is evident they are here
for spree" and not to attend stodgy
dinners and highbrow teas. Both OF
them have a marked preference for
Americans.
The grand duke is very fond of flying
and he and his mother see great deal
of Mr.. and Mrs Graham-White. The
grand duke and the grand duchess are
also fond of Miss Maxine Elliott. They
constantly are to be seen lunching and
dining at the Savoy and Carlton, while
dinners in Mayfair grow cold.
The grand duchess is still handsome
woman with auburn hair. She has
good figure and she dresses beautifully.
Lady warwick's Reign Over.
Litigation proceedings against Countess
Warwick foreshadow the doom of the
credit and prestige of the most brilliant
woman of the Victorian reign. Nothing
could be sadder than the gradual wan
ing of this social light.
Friends blame the fiasco of the Amer
lean lecturing tour a year ago as the
blow that killed her courage to continue
the fight for existence That finishes
me-" Lady Warwick said to sympathetic
friends on her return from the disastrous
tour.
Easton Lodge. Essex, the recent home
of the Warwicks, is practically disman-
tied by the extravagances OF Lady War
wick, which also caused her fight from
the renowned Warwick Castle a few
years ago, when the medieval pile was
let to tourist company. The sale Of
jewels and all available art treasures
followed quickly. Then she tried jour-
nalism and socialism lectures to bridge
the chasm of debt but these means
failed For several years society has ig-
nored Lady Warwick's existence, taking
its cue from the throne itself, and now

asked to explain the governments atti-
tude. Herr Basssrmann. national Liberal
leader, and Herr Matthias Erzbeger. one
OF the most prominent members OF the
powerful center party, have become
greatly interested in the exposition mat
ter and will make it the sun5ecr of inter
pellation. As most Of the members of
the progressive party favor the exposi-
ton, it is safe to say that the interpella-
ton will be supported by a good ma
jority in the Reichstag.
The feeling that Germany should be
officially represented at the exposition Is
spreading rapidly. Unless the government
changes its course IT Is likely to have
considerable difficulty in satisfying its
critics.

DISMAY IN CARS

Failure of Ritual Murder Case ID
Problem for New Chief
Of Police.

Special Cahle TO The Washington Herald.
St Petersburg. Nov. 22-The failure Of
the Beiliss prosecution, coupled with
the sudden death of Gen. Dediulin, chief
Of the Cars palace police, has thrown
the court reactionaries into deepest dis
may.
1t was Gen. Dediulin who Introduced the
Black Hundred deputation from Kieff at
the end Of 1912, which presented to the
Car as a memorial the heart-rendtng ac-
count of how Yushinsky was tortured
and bled to death by the Jews to bake
their holy bread. At the end of the me-
mortal the Gar wrote: Let the Jew be
found" It had been Dediulin's business
to account to the Gar for the failure
Ito find the Jew"
The new chief of the palace police
most probably will be Gen. Djunkovski,
until recently prefect of Moscow. He
has a much cleaner reputation. There
is the keenest interest to know whether
he will have the nerve to tell the Car
how he was duped over the ritual cam
paign. None of the ministers have dared
to tackle the subject at court audiences.

Paris. Nov. 22.-August Rodin. ''the
greatest sculptor since the, Greeks" Is
now engaged on his last IMPORTANT work,
according to a report current In artistic
circles of Paris. An American friend
and former pupil. who has frequently
been in his company. said today:
Robins intimate friends know that the
French genius is no longer the man he
used to be. Rodin himself recognizes that
his race is almost run, and that the time
is near when he must lay down his chisels
forever. 1t is the passing of the worlds
greatest artist He has more than once
said lately. I've lost my grip. My mind
and my creative force are going. l feel
my hands losing their cunning and my
inventive powers declining. still feel a
desire to create works, such as made me
famous. but I recognize that must now
bow to nature. My working days are
nearly over
Ii Working on Bust.
''Rodln at present is doing a bust en-
titled The Englishwoman," which Is the
most ambitious work he has undertaken
for some time, and which will probably
be his last.
AT the present time Rodin finds
amusement in producing exquisite frag-
ments. such as pieces OF hands and feet
but he finds the greatest difficulty in con-
centrating his mind on work Of greater
scope"
With the object of testing the sound
ness of this report which has been going
around Paris. the correspondent called
at the celebrated Hotel De Biron, near
the Invalides. where the government al
lows the sculptor to live on condition that
he shall will his own collection Of stat
uary to the state on his death.
The venerable master has not the look
of robust health. His eye is less clear
and resolute than formerly. His move
ments betrayed languor and fatigue. His
conversation was slow and hesitating al
though now and then his face lit up with
a bright smile and his handshake showed
surprising vIgor.
Sometimes Robins talk about his pro-
jects failed to confirm the rumor of his
decay.
VIII Keep working.
I'VE have no end of plans and projects, Z"
he said. which we hope to carry out II
continue to enjoy, a certain degree OF
health"
Then You intend to work incessantly
so long as life Iasts?"
"Oh, yes. There's nothing worth while
except the kind OF work born of INTEL
lectual or imaginative force"
The sculptor has never visited the
United States.
-'Pd like infinitely to co. he told me

kind things Americans have said of my
works. But II is too late now. lam too
