Treasures Bring Million

100000 Given for Canvas
Painted nv ROmnev

LANARKSHIRE, Scotland, Nov. 25.-,
Hamilton Palace, seat of the late Duke
of Hamilton and Brandon, who was
premier Duke of Scotland, is being dis
mantled and even the furnishings sold
at auction. Remarkable prices have
been realized from the sale of pictures
and jewels. The total aggregated the
equivalent of S1,27770O.
Most notable among the paintings was
that of the "Bcckw0rth Children" by
Romney, which brought 100000.
Other prices were $4,000 for the
Charles II oak balustrade, $4,000 for
the panelling in the old state dining
room, and $3.50 for the seventeenth
century oak panelling of the picture gal
lery.
The black marble staircase, which con-
sists of a double flight of steps and a
gallery, failed to find purchaser
The palace stands in the heart of the
Lanarkshire coal mining district, immor-
talized by Scott in one of his most spir-
tied ballads. 1t was built in 1922 to
1929, and one of its marvels was a por-
tico of monolith Corinthian columns
which were copied from the Temple of
Vespasian at Rome. The foundations of
the palace have become so affected by

Because of this the United States has
less sugar to export, and because there
is a general shortage of sugar through
out the world anyway England cannot
get what she wants, and consequently
has had to raise the price.

Alliance Formed to Enlarge
Scope of Activities for

RIO DE JANEIRO, Nov. 11.-An am

women of Brazil, through campaigns
to be inaugurated by the recently or
gained Alliance Feminina, is an
nounced by Senhora Amelia Rodrigues,

Rodrigues, who is now in this city to
establish headquarters for the new or
ganization, declares the Alliance al
ready has many adherents among Bra
Gillian society, both in the Federal cap
ital and in the Brazilian states.
"The Alliance is a Catholic institu
tion," she said. "Withn the limits of
Catholic principles it will promote the
education and instruction of woman,
the enlargement of her field of moral
and intellectual activity, the propa-
ganda in defense of women's legiti-
mate rights and collective interests
and the intensification of her own spe
cial culture by means of schools and
courses IN domestic economy and allied
household sciences. 1t will work also
to purify the theater, the cinema, lit

ideas. Its sphere of action will he

British Tramps Are
Increasing Rapidly
Since War Closed

NcW York Tribune
EOrPiu11 Press R1,ronn

LONDON, Nov. 29.-The war has not
caused the total disappearance of the
tramp. There are statistical indica-
tions that the number of wanderers
who find haven in the casual ward is
increasing. The figures do not ap-
proach the great aggregates of pre-
war years, but the tendency appears to
be upward. The call of the casual
ward in the larger towns is now draw
ing them from the country, where, in
the summer time, they find pleasure in
their precarious life, says "The London
Times"
In official circles the recent increase
in vagrancy is believed to be due to
the return from the army of men who
were of the wandering type before the
war, and also the return to the road of
older men who, tempted by high wages,
endeavored to follow some settled en-
ployment during the war. The follow
ing figures show the number of men of
the tramp class who sought the shelter

Scott Again Urged
As Pilot for Jury;
Gov. Smith to Act
Members of Panel Said to
Favor Appointment of
District Attorney Newton
to Assist the Prosecution

Governor Smith will act in the ex-
traordinary grand jury situation to-
morrow or Tuesday, it was said at the
Criminal Courts Building yesterday.
Persons familiar with the situation
precipitated when George Gordon Bat
tie asked to be relieved as special coun-
sci to the panel declared that Governor
Smith was anxious to enable the grand
jury to prosecute it's various cover
shadowing crime" and public official
inquiries to a conclusion.
The name of former Justice Francis
M. Scott was mentioned again yester-
day in connection with the post as
special pilot to the grand jury 1t was
would relieve Governor Smith of the
embarrassment of having it said that
the grand jury had not been consulted
in the choice of counsel.
Justice Hughes Mentioned
Courts Building that when Foreman
the grand jury conferred with Gov
crnor Smith in October the names of
Mr.. Scott and Charles E. Hughes were
mentioned as typical of the type of
man the grand jury desired as its adj
wiser. William l.. Rand, onetime As
sistant District Attorney under Will
lam Travers jerome, also has been
mentioned. Governor Smith, it was
said, would prefer to have former JUS
tice Scott take the post if he will con-
sent to do so.
The grand jury, is known, still feels
that the Attorney General would be
the man best suited to prosecute it's
inquiry. The Almrall panel is said
to base this view on the fact that the
Office Of District Attorney Swami is
under inquiry and that any special
assistant designated by him would
technically be under his direction.
Jury Wants Attorney General
Under the special assistant arrange
ment, they point out, all minutes
turned up ut the inquiry would be
available to Mr.. Swami, who legally is
custodian of all exhibits and minutes
of the gran jury. They are said to
feel that only under the Attorney Gen
erals direction would the delibera-
tions of the panel be sealed book tc
Mr.. Swami.
The view of the jury is summed up
in statement by one Of the jurors
who is quoted as saying:
"Unless we get the services of the
Attorney General the prosecution will
be in the hands of the defendants"

stead, went there to investigate. 1t is
alleged that Captain Kennard was
found occupying occupying an apart
ment in hotel with another woman
who was known as Mrs. Kennard. He
is quoted as telling his wife that she
could have saved herself the trouble, as
he would have given her written &C.
acknowledgement of the facts.
Captain Kennard is Yale alumnus.
He inherited $4,000 from his grand
father.
