his appearance in America some great
power in the English government had
suddenly taken an interest in him
and obtained for him a well-paying
sinecure in the service of the king OF
Spain-the post of dockyard inspec-
tor. Then Captain Ord had suddenly
left Spain to seek his fortunes in the
new world, where he still enjoyed
funds derived from some mysterious
source in the old country.
Ample money was also supplied for
the support and education of the
child, James Ord. He was sent to
Georgetown college, and no pains
were spared to make of him gentle
man and scholar. Once. when this
lad had asked about his parents, his
alleged uncle had replied.
"If you had your rights in England
James, you would be somebody very
great. God forgive those who have
wronged you, my boy" Thereupon
Captain Ord had told the Lad that he
was not his nephew by blood, but was
only the adopted son of his sister.
| About year after the removal to
Washington some one with sad face
came to the college and brought
James to his foster uncle's bedside.
The death rattle was in the old mans
throat when he gasped out words to
the effect that he had something of
the utmost Importance to confide to
James. He parted his pale lips to
speak, but fell back unconscious with
out ever moving them again.
James Ord was continued at the
college, in the custody of Maryland
priest. Later in life while search
! ing through papers left by his de-
ceased foster-uncle, he came upon cor
respondence with another priest,
which launched him upon search
for himself, lasting the remainder of
a long lifetime.
He found that his alleged uncle's
sudden departure from England for
Spain had directly followed the date
of his own birth, and that this pro-
motion of ex-sailor had been obtain
ed by a parsonage none other than
the Prince of Wales the negotiations
having been carried on by near rel
alive of Maria Anne Smythe Fitzher-
bert the Catholic widow whom that
Prince had married in 1875, before
becoming George w, king of Eng
land.
In 1912 James Ord was Influenced,
against his inclination, to enlist in
the war against England, and not un-
til that struggle was over and 1t was
too late to protect himself did he
come to realize that spies had forced
him to this service which in British
eyes would amount TO treason, lnVal-
idating any claim he might make to
benefits from the British government.
He wrote to Mrs. Fitzherbert,"
and, although she never replied ne
died with the conviction that he was
the legitimate son of her marriage
with the rotund king.
This fact was accepted also by the
Jesu it fathers of Georgetown college
who in the centenary history OF the
institution mentioned its alumnus,
James Ord, as the son of that mon
arch and the woman whom the
Church of Rome accepted as his law
full wife.
James Ord married in New York

Mystery of Hidden Son of Royalty
We have had our unfathomable
mysteries of appearance as well as
disappearance. One Of the most per-
picking of these cases was that Of a
man whose chief energies, until his
ninety-fifth year, was expended in
searching for his own identity.
This was James Ord" to use the
name by which alone he was known,
man of mystery, alleged legitimate
son of one of the most powerful rul-
ers Of Europe.
About 1893 ship brought to this
country a cockney Englishman, his
sister and his supposed nephew. At
ter the national capitol had been
moved to Washington this English
man in some manner obtained a po-
sition as master mechanic in the ma
Wy yard, where he was popularity
known as Captain Ord"
Investigation later showed that he
had been a humble sailor in the Brit
ish navy, and that decade before

and lived in washington until his
latter years, when he moved to Oma-
ha. Here he died at the age of about
ninety-fve, leaving seven sons and
one daughter. He had always be-
lieved that the long-delayed unseal-
ing of Mrs Fitzherbert's papers would
clear the mystery Of his birth, for
when she had died, in 1887, she had
left these documents to a London
bank with the stipulation that the Sc
crets they contained should remain
under seal for long period.
The seal was finally broken by or
der of King Edward VII, in 1905, af-
ter the death of James Ord, but the
papers found along with her mar
rage certificates contained no refer
ences as to the children alleged to
have been born to her and her royal
husband.
These are some of the most re-
markable of the mysteries which have
perplexed the people of this country
from time to time. Others, equally
conspicuous, are not noted here, be-
cause they were fully described In
an article which appeared in this
magazine some years ago. Among
them were.
The mystery of the fate of Aaron
Burr's daughter, Theodosia, who sail
ed from Charleston, South Carolina,
for New York in 1912 and was never
heard of again.
The stranger disappearance of
William Morgan, in 1926, when rum
ors became rife that he was about to
reveal the ritual and secrets of Free
Masonry.
The vanishing of the steamship
President, which sailed for Europe
from New York in 1S41 with about
a hundred passengers. including many
prominent people.
The resignation of Sam" Houston
as governor of Tennessee to join the
Cherokee Indians and become an In
dian brave in 1929.
Various extraordinary murders,
especially the once-famous Burdell
murder mystery in a house in Bond
street, New York, in 1858.
The stealing of the body of A. T.
Stewart, the great merchant prince,
in 1878.
The abduction of little Charley
Ross in 1874.
The blowing up of the battleship,
Maine in Havana harbor in 1898, one
of the unsolved historic mysteries OF
the world.-Exchange

 When court reassembled this after noon and the crowd, double that of the morning, arose as the judge took. his seat a hush fell over the room. Then the court spoke. first in English, then in Canadian-French:
 Court Shocked at DisgracefuI Scene.
 T must say that I was shocked this morning" he said. Ito be witness of a most disgraceful scene in this court one which would give a very poor idea of the dignity with which the sittings of our court are held. and which I trust and hope will be taken as the exception and not the rule I have been long at the bar and I have never witnessed such a scene. and if any at tempt is made to repeat the conduct of this morning I will have the guilty parties put in the jail"

Calls Baldwin s
 Idea FarciCaI
TEXAS GOVERNOR TAKES ISSUE
 WITH HIM
ON CAMPAIGN FUNDS
Connecticut Governor Had Advocated That State Bear Expense of Nomina- tions-The Governors Conference

Colorado Springs, Col, Aug. 27.- State regulation of nominations, the same as of elections, was urged by Governor Simeon E. Baldwin of Con- necticut in an address before the gov ernors conference here this afternoon.
 Governor Baldwin proposed that the state assume the expense of nomina- tions so that the poor man would not be deterred from entering politics be- cause of lack of the necessary funds, which often furnished ground, he said, for the accusation that a worthy can didate, though poor, is forced to ac- cept the help of those whose support is an incumbrance.
 Idea Denounced as FarcicaI
 Among the items Governor Baldwin would have the state pay for are print ing and distribution of ballots, travel ing expenses of the candidates and the speakers in their behalf, and expenses incidental to their election. The cost of circulating petitions and expenses of 8 personal nature, he would have the candidate pay.
 Governor o. B. Colquit of Texas pre- cipitated a lively discussion of the sub ject when he declared that the idea is farcical and altogether impracticable. He stated that it cost him $16,o00 to get elected, of which he paid $7,000 and his friends 5000.
 Other Governors Favor Plan.
 Did your friends expect to get their moneys worth ?" asked Governor Ca rey of Wyoming.
 You bet your life they are getting their moneys worth" hotly retorted the Texas governor
 Governors McGovern of Wisconsin, Carey of Wyoming and Byrne of South Dakota spoke in favor of Governor Baldwin's plan.
 Governor Arses of Colorado said he favored the iGaa to a limited extent.
 Governors Ride on Burros.
 The governors spent the entire aft ernoon on Mount Manitou. After lunch, served on the mountainside, the gov- ernors indulged in about two hours of sports and recreation, a feature of which was a burro race. Mounted on donkeys, the governors were taken to the highest point of the mountain and began the down grade scramble.
 T see where =snesStasseanpa ends" excitedly remarked Governor William T. Haines of Maine, as the scampering burro on which he was rid ing galloped along the rim of a preci- pice one thousand feet above 8, chasm, into which he expected every minute to be plunged.

PERSISTENT VISITOR
 FROM CONNECTICUT.
South Manchester Man Insisted on
 Seeing White House, and He Did.

Especial to The BuIletin.)
 Washington, Aug. 27.-John M. Shew- ry of South Manchester, with his wife and two children, spent few days last week sightseeing about Washing ton. Like most visitors from Connecti- cut his first visit was made to his con greSSmanS office, where he secured letters of introduction and cards to the heads of the various departments. All went well with the little party until they reached the White House, where he presented Mr. Lonergan's letter to the officer in charge at the door, who, said he was very sorry, but the rooms of the executive mansion were under going their annual cleaning and visit ors were not being admitted.M MF. Shewry told him that he had travelled quite a distance to see the sights of the nations capital and he diSliked to return without peep into the home of the president. The guard expressed his regret, but orders were orders and he could admit no one. The visitor from Connecticut did not give up; he had come to Washington to see the sights and the White House was one of them, and his family must see it if possible. He asked to be conducted to the man higher up" and was shown to the of fee of Colonel Spencer Crosby, in charge of the White House building and grounds. He told the official that ne was one OL CI1S many IdAkGdyc CTS WHO supported the government and furniSh- ed the money to run its machinery, and that he and his family had jour- neyed to Washington to inspect the headquarters of the concern of which he was a part owner.
 The official to whom he made this appeal was so struck with it's origin ality that he gave orders that Mir. Shewry and family be shown every part of the building, which was done.

WoMAN's FOOT IN TAN SHOE
 INSIDE SHARKS STOMACH
Fishermen Make Startling Discovery
 When They Cut Open Maneater.

New York. Aug. 27.-The foot of a woman wearing a tan shoe and a knit ted stocking was cut from the stomach of a giant maneating shark by fisher men in the Atlantic ocean off Spring Lake Beach, N. J., according to the fishermen themselves and William l. ohmer manufacturer, of Dayton, O., who said he saw the foot and who has 8 summer home there>
 The shark, which was described as being. IS feet in length and weighing 500 pounds, became entangled in the nets of the fishermen and when they went out in small boats to make the daily haul on Monday they found the shark whipping the nets about and tearing them
 Capt, Combes, in command of one of the fishing boats, and one of the best known fishermen along the New Jersey coast, drew in one of the nets with five of his men. When they got the monster to the surface they gaffed him while he was trying to overturn the boat.
 As he turned over on his back dead it was decided that he was too big to get into the boat to take ashore, so it was decided to cut him open and take ashore a full length section to prove his size
 Fishermen always cut open sharks to see what they had inside of them The sharks belly was awash with the boats gunwale when the knife was applied and Capt. Conbes and his five men were mortified to see the foot of woman fall out of the stomach into the boat They released the sharks carcass and took the foot ashore q, Mr Dinner was fishing near by in a pleasure boat and he said last night that he not only had seen the foot but the shark from which it was cut. He said the foot had been bitten off a woman's leg between the knee and the ankle and that all of the stocking had come away with it.
 From the condition of the foot and the shoe it could not have been in the sharks stomach long; perhaps he swallowed it on Sunday" said MT. Oh mer. If the woman was dead when he swallowed her foot she could not have been dead long,
 No reports were found of any wo- man who had lost a foot through an encounter with a shark. One of the puzzling things was that the foot was said to have a shoe on it, proving the woman was not a bather. She might have fallen overheard and then been attacked by the shark.
