amount of his salary for four days
during which he was away from
washington on private business The
fact that Mr. Witherspoon turned the
money became known, despite his de-
sire to keep the affair secret
Somewhere in the statute books
there is law which says a member
Of Congress shall not draw pay for the
days he is absent and not attending to

tango IS GIVEN
OFFICIAL 0. K.
OF QUEEN MARY
Dance Will Be Revived in Fall;
News of the American
Players in Europe r.
tBy Latest MALL.

LONDON-Attempts will be made
in the fall to revive the tango, which
had a brilliant but short-lived season
in London last winter. Apparently,
the only excuse for a revival of the
South American dance is that Queen
Mary, having banned it-without see
ing it-has at last taken her courage
firmly in her hands and seen and
approved Of it as ballroom figure.
1t will be remembered that Queen
Mary issued an edict last summer,
when the tango craze was at its
height, that "the tango was not to be
danced at any house In which she
was a guest" This announcement
was quickly followed by the Kaiser
banning the dance and forbidding any
German officer to take part in the
popular craze; even the Pope took a
hand in suppressing it This whole
sale banning of the tango, which had
become an unprecedented craze, nat
urally had its effect and it's popularity
began to wane Il
Now, much to egerybody's surprise
the tango has been given at the most
important society function of the sea-
son in London, in the presence of the
King and Queen, the principal diplo-
matists of Europe and about three
hundred Of the elite of England The
incident occurred when the Grand
Duke Michael and Countess Torby
gave a dinner, followed by ball, at
their beautiful Hampstead home, Ken
wood. After dinner, and before the
ball commenced. Maurice and Flor
ence Walton, the American ballroom
dancers from the Alhambra revue,
gave an exhibition of modern ball
room dancing. They gave sixteen
dances in all-the anticipation waltz.
the skating waltz, the hesitation
waltz, an eccentric step dance, and a
modern gavotte, founded on the old
minuet, which is their latest creation
and has become very popular in Lon
don.
Queen Asks for Tango.
The dancers were well aware of
Queen Mary's objection to the tango,
and were bit surprised when the
Grand Duchess Anastasie of Mecklen-
burg-Schwerin remarked to Maurice,
"If the Queen asks for a tango be
prepared to give it." A little later,
at the conclusion of dance. the
Countess Torby informed Maurice
that the queen would like to see the
tango, as her majesty had never
seen it properly danced. The dance
proved a great success and was fol-
lowed by the maxixe. and finally the
one-step, which, by royal command,
was repeated.
Despite the fact that his latest eff
fort, The Adored One failed to
please either critics or public, the
news that Sir ]. NJ. Barrie has put the
finishing touches to a new play is
bound to excite considerable interest
on both sides of the Atlantic, espe-
cislly as Charles Frohman has secur-
ed the American rights and will pro-
duce the play at one of his New York
houses in the fall

Verdict of the stock.

The most impressive feature OF the
whole agitation over the position OF
Union Pacific preferred In respect TO the
extra distribution is the complete apathy
displayed by the stock. Never ON the
numerous occasions in the past when a
disbursement seemed on the point Of ma
terialzing has the stock betrayed an al
most entire lack of interest. On the con-
trary such rumors have been greeted with
a spell Of furious activity and on one
scribe the stock WAS driven up TO 49,
on the mer. expectation that the stock
holders would have a chance 10 test their
claim in the courts for an equal share
in the distribution Yesterday, although
the Street was fun OF reports that &C
ton would be taken 10y some of the
