Senator Borah, Idaho
 Solon, Passes Half
 Century Milestone

The Hon. William Edgar Borah, United States senator from Idaho,- will pass his half century milestone today, having been born on June 29. 1865, at Fairfield, III. The distinguished western So1on was educated at South ern Illinois Academy and the Univer- sity of KansaS. He started his legal career in the Sunf1ower state a quar- ter of century ago, hanging out his shing1e in Lyons, Kan.

Mover and Pettibone the Colorado labor leaders. Mr. Borah was a. candidate for the Sen ate in 1903, but was defeated, and it was not until 1907 that he gained his goal Since then he has become a recognized leader of the progressive Republicans, but, while friendly to Roosevelt, he has refused to subscribe to the third party movement. With in the last few months the Idaho So1on has been prominently mention ed as likely to be a, leading candidate for the Republican presidential noni- nation next year.
 In regard to the international rela- ions of the United States, Senator Borah-who is a, member of the Sen ate foreign relations scomnittee-has favored a bold course. In discussing the controversy between the United States and Germany not long ago, the Idaho senator said:
 'I don't hesitate to say that do not agree with the Peace at any price policy. This republic should face a world in arms rather than have it said that American women may be attacked and American citizens mur- dered- Yet I would not expect war to follow the adoption of such a pol icy. We are far more likely to keep out of war in the long run iby bold, determined policy of protection to American citizens than by the policy of indifference. The world accepts the standard we ourselves set up and treats us accordingly. s

MORGAN PORCELAIN
ON VIEW AGAIN
Onlv 81 Pieces Absent from Col
lection as Shown at Metro
pOIitan Museum.

Admirably displayed in nine Of the
Galleries in the house Of Duveen
Brothers. 700 Fifth Avenue, the J. P
Morgan collection of Chinese porce-
,a;ns for which the Duveens are said
70 have paid the Morgan estate So
100000 on February & Of this year,
will be placed on public exhibition this
morning. continuing on view for the
rest of the month.
Originally the collection, when lent
to the Metropolitan Museum Of Art by
the late J. Pierpont Morgan. con-
tanned some 1900 pieces. Since it has
been acquired by the Duveens they
have sold to Henry c. Frick sixteen
black Hawthorn vases, which now
adorn his library, a great famllle rose
vase and four smaller vases from the
Carlsbad collection, also four great
blue Hawthorn pots with lids. from
the Marsden J. Perry collection. For
these twenty-five pieces Mr.. Flick IS
said to have paid nearly million dol
lars. Six other specimens were bought
by p. A. B. Widener, of Philadelphia,
and six others by Mrs. j. B. Trevor
What are regarded as the gems Of
the collection are the famous Sl50,000
black Hawthorn beaker, known as the
Blenheim vase, from the Duke of MARI
borough's collection, and the green
Hawthorn beaker. This latter vase has
been much admired by Mr.. Prick, and
il has been reserved for him. The
Blenheim Hawthorn vase occupies
case in the centre room on the third
floor.
one of the large galleries is devoted
to the display of blue and white vases,
bowls and plates. in tiger lily and lace
patterns, and other examples of the
middle seventeenth century porcelains.
The other large room contains the pow
dered blue vases, plates and beakers.
Examples from the Marsden j. Perry
collection have a room to themselves OF
twelve showcases, and in another gal
lerv will be found specimens of solid
color, such as apple-green, coral and
sang de bpuf, some OF the last named,
however, not being from the Morgan
collection.
Those who saw the collection in the
Museum will doubtless ap-
preciate the fact that every piece IS
now scrupulously clean, bringing out
anew its beauties. The exhibition will
be open between 9 and each day, eX-
cept Sundays.

in poke bonnet and short sleeves. with a
garden basket of flowers, was one OF
the most graceful performers.

Mrs. Backus at once retired. and when
the quests came and tried TO take the
tables Mrs. Backus had given them and
the reception committee tried to seat

there was a scene which made one suf-
