Lude, in company with several

the steamer he lost his hold and fell
from the sling to the water below.
Lude had been identified with the

A description of the jewels stolen
from the home of Charles G. Bart
lett has been forwarded to the police
of San Francisco. according to infor-
nation received this morning. Untir-
ing efforts are being made to locate
the thieves, who broke into the house
about month ago, and to recover the
jewelry which is valued at several
thousand dollars.
Mr.. Bartlett was asked for a de-
scription of the stolen Jewels this
morning, but he said he was unable
to give it. The local police made the
same statement when requested for

tLurline Sailed with New Purser.
Robert Menary, who has been iden-
titled with the Matson, Navigation
Company for the past five years in
the capacity of wireless operator,
freight clerk and purser, was trans
ferred from the Enterprise to the Lur-
line before that vessel departed from
San Francisco for Honolulu. Men

been spent on the coast and Hilo, run.
He takes the place vacated by P. 0.

II was stated this morning that the
duties of -purser in the Enterprise
would be taken over by wireless tel

a general inspection of the Dusin 3ss
at this port before departing ON an
extended tour of Maui and Hawaii.
He comes to the islands for the pur-
pose of noting conditions at first hand.
In his opinion business conditions
along the coast are not as bad as set
forth by the pessimists. The pros
poets for a, continuance of a lucrative
passenger traffic between the main
land and Hawaii indicate a profitable
season for 191415.
Alice Cooke Completes Long Trip.
Delayed in a passage from Puget
Sound to Honolulu because of a case
of smallpox. the schooner Alice Cooke
is an arrival at the port with 10000
feet of lumber. The vessel appeared
off the harbor yesterday afternoon and
was held in quarantine pending an in
spection by the federal medical au-
thorities. The Alice Cooke was
obliged to proceed many miles out OF
its course in order to land a patient
at San Diego. The passage from
Southern California to Honolulu was
completed in "a days.

tons concerted action by the fractions
of a command is often of the greatest
value. If the experiment Is possible
of satisfactory solution Captain Gibbs
and his company may be depended
upon to reach such result. Following
the second day the company will be
united at the wireless station at Ka-
huku and march for Fort Shafter and
expects to arrive at the post on the
conclusion of the third days march
with record Of 95 miles for three
day trip. This in itself is no mean
accomplishment; and when it is con-
sidered that on two Of the three days
the march will be constantly inter
rupted by the halts necessary to set
up instruments and locate the CO.

be regarded as notable achieve

An official warning has been sent
out from department headquarters
concerning the time when applications
for transportation on the coast bound
transports must be made to the de-
pot quartermaster by enlisted men
returning to the coast on furlough. All
such applications must be preferred
by the applicant at least as early as

applicants will lose the opportunity
of having their applications consider

WARWICK CASTLE IS LEASED BY AMERICAN

Abbey on the Thames, and after that
took the Hertfordshire seat of Lord
Lytton. When asked, a few weeks
ago, what her ambition was, Mrs.
Marsh replied, "Just to live quietly
in the shadow of English history"
In the history of Warwick castle
and its surrounding country there is
a plenty of romance AS far back as
the time of the Romans the town of
Warwick was said to be their praesi-
dunn, but it remained for Ethelfeda,
daughter of Alfred Great, to build the
first fortress or castle. That was in
A. d. 914. Then the castle was more
of fort than anything else. Even
before this time there is record of
several generations OF earls of War
wicks. The first earl after kingship
was established over all England was
Earl Roland, who was chiefly remem-
bered as the father Of Felice, or Phyl-
lis, countess of Warwick There is a

er this countess.

the estate, the present one, the house
of Greville, coming into the title in
1859, although holding the property
before that. They were preceded by
the house of Rich, which was notori-
Gus for the intrigues of some of its
members and the vices and virtues of
others.
The present countess of Warwick,
a talented woman, has leased out
much of her once vast holdings of
more than $4,000 acres to pay off
debts.
She astounded the world by taking
up the cause of socialism and later by
joining the militant suffragettes. She
has always given literally of her
money.
The countess once received an offer
from an American woman to join with
her in helping rich American climb
ers" enter English society and she be-
came quite irate. In the course of her
lecture tours the countess has visited
America.

MORRIS NAMED ENVOY TO COURT OF SWEDEN

Panama-Pacific exposition. The sue
cess of this mission was regarded with
satisfaction in diplomatic circles in
Washington.
During their stay in Italy, Mr.. and
Mrs. Morris entertained frequently in
their villa on Lake Como. At one
time members of the royal family
were their guests.
In addition to his public services,
Mr. Morris has travelled extensively
and has visited many little explored
districts.
Ira Nelson Morris is the son of the
late Nelson Morris and Sarah Vogel
Morris, and was born in Chicago
thirty-nine years ago. In 1898 he mar
ried Constance Lily Rothschild of New
York They have two children, Con
stance Irene, fourteen years old, and
Ira Victor, ten years old.
Mr. Morris was graduated from
Yale in the class of 1895. After
leaving college he spent some years
in travel and writing. He entered
business with his father in 1898, but
in 1906 withdrew from commercial life
and he has since devoted himself to
civic and philanthropic interests.

Keep the art galleries open five days

The rental at which the countess of
Warwick consented to ''let OUT her
house is said to be 100000 a year.
The Marshes have taken a three-year
lease, after the castle had been on the
market a considerable time. Other
Americans had hidden for it, but the
former Chicagoan and his wife proved
to be the Americans rich enough to
get it. While planning a series Of
brilliant house parties with the as
sistance of her friend, Lady Paget,
Mrs. Marsh goes about her duties as
chatelaine, jangling a collection of
keys to ancient linen and weaving
rooms, to secret panels behind which
massive silver is kept, and to doors
which once let out on the dark and

HEAD OF A WOMANs BANKERS ASSOCIATION

truth were known, there are a good
many more women Of her type and
caliber in this country. Perhaps they
are not so wealthy, but they posses
the same quality of business instinct.
Miss Letter Corbitt, of Austin, who
was elected president Of the Texas
Women's Bankers association at the
recent convention of that organiza-
ton at Fort Worth, is one of the
ablest as we'll as the most popular
Corbitt is connected with the Austin
National bank, holding the position of
note teller. After leaving the Univer-
sity of Texas, Miss Corbitt taught
school for a while. She then turned
to banking as more congenial and
profitable occupation, entering the en-
ploy of the Austin National bank as
general utility clerk Through her
business ability and by close applica-
ton and study of banking methods,
she rapidly worked her way up until
she now holds one of the most re-
sponsible bank positions of any wo-
man in the state. In addition to her
official duties, Miss Corbitt acts as the
adviser and business representative of
a number of wealthy women of Austin,
who place more confidence in her
opinions on business matters than in
those of the average business man.
