His reputation as a violinist os high quality and rank was first es- tablished by his successful career in the prominent musical centers of the old world It was the generous apprecia- tion accorded him and his art in Paris and London that first commanded the attention of musical circles.

BRIBE INVESTIGATORS
 ASK FOR MORE TIME

The Senate committee inVesti- gating alleged bribery activities in the Senate probably will ask today for an extension of time to complete it's work, members said yesterday. The committee, com= posed of Senators Adamson, Garrett and Kendall, has been in session almost continuously since it was appointed. The pro- ceedings have been secret, except the part made public before the Senate Tusday night, which re- suited in the expulsion of Sena- tors Sims and Burgess.
 The resolution authorizing the committee provides that a report must be made not later than today. Members said yes- terday the committee cannot complete it's work today.
 "X-RAY" PRoBERS AT WORK
 The committee appointed to investigate annonymous cir culars sent to senators early this week, held it's first session yes- terday. A member expressed confidence that the author, or authors, of the circulars will be apprehended and brought before the Senate to face contempt charges. It is not probable that the committee will report before Monday.
 GRAND JURY REGEssEs AGAIN
 For the second time this week the Pulaski County Grand Jury recessed at noon yesterday with out making a report to Judge R. J. Lea. Wednesday no report was made when the Grand Jury recessed. Seven indictments were returned Tuesday, none ofwhich, however, were for serious of lenses.
 It is believed that the inyesti- gations are being confined strict ly to the alleged senatorial brib- cry case. Neither the matters under scrutiny nor the names of the witnesses will be made public by Prosecutor Dunaway.
 It is hardly probable that the present Grand Jury will continue to meet further than Saturday. The March Grand Jury convenes Monday, and MT. Dunaway said that if the investigation is not completed by the present Grand Jury it will be taken up by the March Grand Jury.

A BUSY NEWS
 PAPER MAN

A good story came from Little Rock, which easily demonstrates how very busy a newspaper man z q at times.
 3lio Harper, one of the best newspaper correspondents in the state, and well known to many, who is associated with ". A. Parke in the Parke-Harper News Service, of that city, which service furnishes the Legislature and other news to the different newspapers of the state, as well as many out of the state, after working IS hours, had :. 30 minutes to eat supper, before having to report to the Senate. He hastily stepped in to the Faust Cafe, and ordered supper. While hurredly eating, he took his watch out of his pocket to see how much time he had, and found he only had three minutes. In his haste, he put a piece of salad he had on a fork in his vest pocket, and put his watch in his mouth, biting a piece out of the crystal. This is true story, and we can vouch for it.

ANCIENT ORDER OF WoRKMEN
ARE STRONG FINANCIALLY

Members of the Ancient Order of
Workmen of Connecticut and espec-
tally of Bridgeport where three lodges
are located are pleased to-day at the
transmission of the valuation report of
the grand lodge which shows that the
ratio of assets to the liabilities is ISL
per cent.
In publication of Miles M. Dawson,
F. I. A., F. A. s., it is certified that
the assets, actual and contingent total,
$3,564,201.68 with liabilities actual
and contingent of but $3,097,204.31.
1t is asserted thta these figures, on
the basis of the American Experience
table of Mortality, with interest at 4
per cent, the future assessments of
the society, together with the now in
vested assets are sufficient to meet all
certificates as they mature by their
terms, with a large margin Of safety
Bridgeport in the Ancient Order of
United Workmen is well represented in
three lodges Scandia, Golden Hill and
Farren. The membership of these is
more than three hundred strong, and
said to be rapidly growing.
Because of the hourishing state of
the treasury orders have been receiv-
ed by the Grand Lodge to omit the
June assessment to members. It is
the first time in the history Of any fra
ternal order, according to members OF
the organization, that this step has
been taken in Connecticut.
In commemoration of the event a
big celebration followed by dinner
will be given at the lodge rooms, lie
Fairfield avenue June IL, when Grand
Master Workman Felix s. Meigs and
Grand Supervisor Herbert Bishop OF
New Haven will be present.

REVENUE BILL TO
EXCLUDE TAX ON
COLD and BULLION
Alarm Among Bankers AL.
layed by Announcement
of Treasury Officials.

Washington, May 24-Action Of the
house committee on ways and means
in making an exception in the case
of gold and bullion to the provision
of the war revenue bill which would
place all articles on the present free
duty under a duty of 10 per cent. ad
valorem has relieved treasury officials
of further circumstances from banks
in many sections of the country
against this particular feature of the
measure.
AS originally drawn the bill would
have placed a duty of 10 per cent.
on all gold imported. Imports since
the war started. nearly three years
ago, are estimated at more than ST.
00.000,000, and the stream although
greatly diminished in volue, still con-
tinues To many inquirers officials
have responded that the provision
was due apparently to an oversight
and would be corrected before the
bill was finally passed.

PRINCE LOUIS
OF BATTENBERG

One of the most tragic figures of
the war is Prince Louis of Batten-
berg, favorite of Queen Victoria, low
ed and admired by all who knew him
and last, and by no means least, Ad-
mira1 of the Fleet of England when
the storm broke over Europe This
IS just the tragic part of his story. He
was credited with having brought the
British fleet up to a high state of
efficiency but that didn't help him
when England went to war, for Prince
Louis was born in Gratz, Austria, an
enemy country. He is today celebra-
ting his sixty-third birthday, but
where he is celebrating it is not, gem
orally known. Prince Louis realized
the embarrassing position he was in
as soon as England entered the con-
flict and resigned his high office He
is supposed to have gone to Russia
He may be there still. His two sons,
both born in England, are serving
with the British fleet. Prince Louis
is the son of the late Prince A1exan-
der of Hesse. In 1884 he married his
cousin, Princess Victoria of Hesse, a
favorite granddaughter of the late
Queen Victoria In early life Prince
Louis became naturalized British
subject and in 1868 he entered the
Royal Navy as a cadet His ability
won for him rapid promotion in the
service. In 1902 he became director
of Naval Intelligence and later was
made aidede-camp to King Edward
He reached the highest rank in the
British naval service a few years be-
fore the war broke out when he was
made First Sea Lord.
