w. D. Hosford, Chairman Of Ball
Committee, Announces American
Coronation Ball.
NO MORE NEWS FORTHCOMING

An American coronation, whatever
that is, is to be seen at Ak-sar-Ben
den this year on the evening of the
grand ball this year.
Hitherto the king of Ak-sar- Ben
has been crowned annually amid all
the pompous ceremonies Of Six
teenth century or a medieval court
function. w. d. Hosford, chairman
OF the ball committee. announces that
this year some Of the ancient court
stuff is to be done away with, and
that there is to be an American ball
and an American coronation.
With that remark w. ID. Hosford
caught a train and hiked out OF town.
Until he gets back the patient society
people who want to know how to dress
for the occasion will be puzzled as TO
whether this Coronation Is 10 follow
the ceremonies OF twentieth century
inauguration of a president OF the Amer
lean republic. or whether It Ia to follow
the coronation ceremonies that would be
likely to be witnessed in America II the
River OF Doubt should ever be crowned
king.
To Weae i<nickers.
'Knickerbockers will probably be worn
by the governors.'
This much OF a hint w. d. Hosford
filings back from the steps Of the train
before he goes.
That Is consollng. too. for It will give
Everett buckingham OF stock yards
fame ample time TO have his chaps cut
down and tied with bow at the

Last year the knights could not march
at tn coronation because their uniforms
got wet and ruined the night before in
the electrical parade. This year their
uniforms are TO be properly preserved
and they are TO march.

SAVES FROM RIVER
WASP'S BIG BO'SUN
With Searchlights Aid Iraver
Makes PerilOuS Rescue in
Freezing Hudson.

Guided by searchhght rays thrown
from the L. S. $. Wasp, now IN use py
tine naval militia. Patrolman tTaEEln
Traver last night rescued William
Williams. the Wasp's boatswaln, after
he had sunk twice IN the waters OF the
North River at S1th ST.
Trayer's task was made particularly
difficult by the fact that Williams out
weighed him 100 pounds. Two other
policemen went 70 his assistance.
Williams fell overheard while trying
10 cross a plank from the dock 10 the
boat. Some one on the boat who wit
messed his fall fred three shots. Iraver
ran down and at once jumped INTO the
water, grasping Williams around the
waist after he had gone down once.
The great weight of Williams and
the slight build Of the policeman made
IL seem probable that one or botn OF
the men might be lost. Men aboard
the Wasp rushed frantiCally about. but
there was 10 move to give aid until the
captain Of the boat trained his search
light on the waters. At the same time
Patrolmen Reardon and Herter arrived.
Traver then lost his grip. and the
man again went down. The patrolman
dived. coming 20 the surface few sec
onds later with the seaman again IN
his grasp. Rcardon then tossed rope
TO Traver and a ladder was lowered.
Herter descended into the water and
aided Traver in tieing the rope.
Both Williams and Traver had 10 be
taken 10 the Knickerbocker Hospital.

CHORUS-CIRL BRIDE
ACCUSED AS BORCIA
Drug Clerk, Suing for a
Divorce, Says She Tried
TO Poison Him.

Savannah, Ga, Jan. IA tale OF
love at tirst sight, a whirlwind court
ship, elopement and marriage, then a
sudden awakening when his wife, a
pretty chorus girl, is alleged to have
attempted to poison him because he
would not turn over to her his drug
business, is told in q suit for divorce
filed IN the Superior Court of Chat
ham County by K. b. Grom. formerly
of Newark, y. j., against Beatrice
Grom, whose stage name is Trixy
Baines.
Grom's petition, in which he accuses
his wife of cruel and inhuman treat
ment, IS in substance as follows:
Grom owned a drug business in
Newark worth about $4,000. He fire.
quently went to Miners Theatre.
where, early in September, 1913. he
first saw pretty TriXy Banes dancing
in the first row of the chorus. lie
thought II was a case Of love at first
sight. After the show he obtained an
introduction to her. A whirlwind
courtship followed.
On September p they eloped 10
Philadelphia and were married. They
returned soon thereafter to Newark.
Their troubles then began. She de-
manded, Grom says, that he deed TO
her his drug store. He refused She
became desperate, and one night
sought to force him to do so at the
point Of revolver, he charges.
Myer II. kirschbaum, who had a
room near theirs, asserts he heard the
wife declare she would kill Grom. lie
entered the room. Mrs. Grom, furious
at the Intrusion, wheeled and tried to
shoot him, he alleges. Grom prevented
her from doing so.
Grom declares that soon afterward
he was informed by a clerk in his
store that his wife had taken bottle
of strychnine from the prescription
case. She offered him drink OF
whiskey, but he had become suspi-
cious, and, instead of drinking il. took
II to chemist and had IT analysed.
1t contained strychnine, he alleges.
On November ! just six days after
their marriage, Grom left his wife.
He says he feared she would kill him.
From mis- attorneys II Is learned
that Grom's domestic troubles ruined
him financially. He came to Savannah
to live after drifting about the coun-
try. He is employed IN drug store
here rs a pharmacist. His wife still
lives in New Jersey.
Judge Walter G.. Charlton has signed
an order authorizing service on the
wife by publication. The case will
come up for hearing during the March
term of the Superior 8ourt.

MOTHER WEPT OFTEN
OVER ROGERS'S ERRORS
Friends Knew of Grief Parent Tried to Conceal
Prayed That Her Boy Would Become a
More Considerate and Dutiful Son..

More light on the early inclinations
Of Lorlys Elton Rogers has been shed
by the recollections of woman-an
old-time friend Of Rogers's mother,
Charlotte Thompson Rogers. Her
statements more than corroborated the
facts printed in previous article on
the subject, garnered from another
source.
Charlotte Thompson was one of my
best friends" she said. "On many
occasions she made me her confdant
in matters that troubled her or in
which she was interested Often /
have wept with her, so heart-touching
was her distress.
81 rejoiced with Charlotte over her
many successes, during period OF
twenty-five years. Some of her best
work, in the late sixties. was in The
School for Scandal Camille The
Hunchback,' The Lily of France and
East Lynne The Inconvenience OF
travel in those days made her life a
hard one, but her splendid constltu-
ton and natural vigor were equal to
the occasion"
The great store which Charlotte
Thompson set by her son, Lorlys,
stands out clearly in the memory OF
The Tribune's informant. She made
many diary entries referring TO II, as
well as to other family affairs.
"Charlotte's earnings ran all the
way from 81 900 TO $4,000 week" she
recalled. That meant much more
than it does now, and she worked
lard TO put something by for her chill
dren. ~.
II never have seen sweeter family
spirit than in the Rogers family, i
have heard Charlotte and Lorraine, her
husband, discuss all sorts Of situa-
lions. and neither Of them had the
stubborn traits that Lorlys appears
to have retained.
Son Was Mothers Idol.
THE love of that mother for her
son was the subject Of comment among
people who knew her. II was so obVi-
ously uppermost in her mind that no
one VINO came in contact with her
could fail to be impressed by It.
cit was only to her intimates that
she ventured hint OF the fears as 10
his future, which from time TO time
crept into her mind, in spite of her
self. She was of an optimistic dis
position, and when she wept ! knew
there was ample cause for II. q,
ION occasions when she was worried
about some act OF her son, Lorraine
would comfort his wife. Give the
bow the benefit of the doubt he would
saw; he will be all right when he Is
q little older But / knew that Lor,
lys's headstrong tendencies bothered
him, too. :,
Oh forget
Corsicana, Tex. Charlotte had received
her reason TO believe that Lorlys had
set her wishes at naught, IN man
rer that gave her much pain.
