Circumstances
Surrounding the Death of
Pretty Billie Carleton, the
Favorite Coincidence of
London Society, After the
Great Victory Celebration

for the defense of London and staff duties,
and they often found a few moments to
spend with Billie Carleton and her attrac-
tive companions.
Then, even in the midst of war, officers
at the front had an occasional leave, and
there was no greater relief from the
miseries of the trenches than an evening
at the theatre, followed by little supper
with some of its most distinguished orna-
ments.
These facts will explain the very great
shock that was felt when Billie Carleton
at the height of her success and in the
midst of the general rejoicing after the
war, was found dead. mysteriously
poisoned
The Coroner was probing for information
concerning the cause of her death when he
unearthed very startling evidence Of the
excessive use of drugs by the dead woman
and many of her friends.
London's merriment has usually been
boisterous, carnal and alcoholic and the
use of opium has not been so marked as
in Paris and other capitals. The English
have prided themselves on not being ad-
dicted to dangerous drugs, although un-
questionably partial to beef extracts, liver
pills and tonics. The opium habit is now
said to have increased rapidly during TIE
war.
One of the witnesses at the inquest, a
confessed drug addict, told that drugs such
as cocaine and heroin could be obtained
easily in large quantities in the West End
of London, and were being consumed on a
great scale by men and women He de-
scribed strange excursions of actresses and
their friends to LOndon'S chinatown in
the East End and also doping parties" in
the West End.
AS a result of information given by this
witness the police arrested Lo Ping You,
Chinese. and his English wife.
He maintained a den" in the dock
quarter of the East End of London where
he could receive opium surreptitiously
from sailors, and another place, at IS
Dover street. in the centre of the most
fashionable quarter of the city.
The charge against his wife was that
she had supplied opium to Billie Carleton.
Her house was described as a most allur

Miss Carleton went into her own apart
ment and ordered breakfast for herself and
TWO friends, consisting of coffee, bacon and
eggs and toast. That she could command
thls substantial breakfast at such an hour
or the morning in ratoned land indicates
the luxury in which she lived.
While breakfast was being prepared she
changed her clothes, put on kimona and
her jewelry and went to Mrs Castles
apartment on the same floor.
She returned in a few minutes, said
nothing about her visit and breakfasted
with her friends. Then they went away
and she retired.
At 11:30 in the morning the maid
"peeped in" as she subsequently, testified
at the inquest, to see if Miss Carleton
needed anything. She appeared to be
sleeping and the girl went away.
At $3.50 in the afternoon the maid looked
in again, and seeing Miss Carleton still
lying in the same position, she became
frightened.
She went in and touched her, and, to her
horror, the young beauty was dead
physician was hastily sent for and
established the fact that nothing could be
done to help poor Billie Carleton He
noticed upon her body some of the familiar
signs OF narcotic pOisoning-either opium,
morphine or some of the more modern
drugs.
At the inquest the Coroner's physician
who performed the post-mortem examina-
tion was asked about this poison.

ible to many women Of the stage and
society
Lo Ping You, a very intelligent and
interesting Chinaman, was a victim Of the
habit himself, shared in the indulgences Of
his customers and exercised considerable
fascination in leading them into the evil
practice.
He started when he was eleven years
old" observed the police inspector who
arrested him.
The officer described an amazing orgy
at Lo Ping You's place, when men and
women in dishevelled costume smoked
opium and enjoyed one another's society
from Saturday night till Monday morning.
1t was not an aimless crude debauch, but

rate and rather artistic ceremonial A

Mrs Ping You was quickly sentenced to
five years Imprisonment at hard labor for
her share in these proceedings, and the
fuller revelation Of the names of those who
took part in them was cut short.
1t is believed, however. that the shock
caused by Billie Carleton's mysterious
death may force a thorough investigation
OF this occurrence and the alleged increase
of the opium and drug habit in England.

did you find any traces in the body of
poison that may have caused death?"
"No," said the doctor.
The tragic death of the young actress
coming at a moment when everybody was
rejoicing over the great victory, caused a
painful sensation among the gayest circles
of London. She had risen in a few years
from the position of humble chorus girl,
one of thousands Of anonymous toilers, to
be popular star actress.
At the time of her death she was play
ing in The Freedom of the Seas" great
spectacular patriotic melodrama at the
Haymarket Theatre, the largest in Lon
don.
Miss Carletons rapid rise to a foremost
place in the musical comedy world began
three years ago. Her chance came when
as chorus girl in Watch Your STEP" a
frivolous production at the Empire The
atre she was selected to understudy Ethel
Levey, a prime London favorite. During
Miss Levey's absence from the cast Miss
Carleton made a success in the leading
role.
After that she appeared in Fair and
Warmer" at the Prince of WaleS's Theatre,
in "The Boy" at the Adelphi, and in one
or two other popular successes.
Many we'll known Americans were among
her friends, and this has given rise to a
mistaken impression that she was Amer
lean.
Her social popularity was so great that
many of her friends expected her to marry
duke, a marquis, a millionaire or some
body of similar prominence, as so many of
the English musical comedy beauties have
done. 1t is true that idle, gilded youths
have been less common since the war
called everybody to its service, but still
there were dashing young officers detailed

away in a taxicab at about three o'clock
in the morning. Taxicabs are not plentiful

squeezed themselves into this one Two
or the party, Miss Compton, and an army

ment. The taxi then drove on to Miss
Carleton's own apartment in the Savoy
Court. With her were a man and a wo-
man friend.
When she arrived at the Savoy Miss
Carleton enquired of the clerk:
rs Mrs. Vernon Castle in yet? Let
me know when she comes. I want to see
her costume"
Miss Carleton had been very friendly
with Mrs. Irene Castle the noted American
actress and dancer. whose husband. Vernon
Castle was killed while training American
army aviators at Fort Worth, Tex, last
February. Lieutenant Castles violent
death few months after he had left the
scene of his gay butterfly life on Broadway

his young wife into the deepest grief, but
she considered that he would have desired
her to keep up her career as before.

Just why she wished to see Mrs. Castles

ball with her, is puZzling circumstance.

A LII fashionable London is deeply con-

4 = Of Miss Billie Carleton, the beauti-
full young actress who had become one OF
the favorites of the metropolis.
Miss Carleton, as the dispatches have
announced, was found dead IN bed a few
hours after returning from the Victory
land in honor of the final victory over the
Hun.
The evidence indicates that Miss Garlic
ton was poisoned. But there are many
mysterious, unexplained circumstances
connected with the tragedy.
The great fancy dress ball which she
attended was one in which the most noted
women of society and the most beautiful
women OF the stage participated. 1t was
held in the Albert Hall, the largest build
ing of its kind in London. Over five thou
sand persons were present, and the pro-
ceeds of the sale of tickets went to the
Nations Fund for Nurses.
Every woman present wore all her
jewels and the most gorgeous costume she
could imagine or obtain, for 1t was the
most wonderful occasion of rejoicing any
body there had ever known or was ever
likely to know.
The leading feature of the ball occurred
at 10 o'clock-the grand parade arranged
by Louis Parker, the noted theatrical di-
rector.
The parade was led by Lady Diana
Manners, the beautiful and charming
daughter Of the Duchess of Rutland, as

A letter from the Cham Der of Commerce was received by the body inviting the next annual contest to Newport, and was unanimously ac- cepted, and the meeting will be held on April the 11th and 18th, which comes on Friday and Saturday.
 Batesville was the only other place asking for the meeting, but Superin- tendent Sidney Pickens voted for Newport, thinking it was the most suitable place for the contest.
 Entertaining the contest association carries with it the furnishing of cups and prizes.
 The schools represented here Sat urday were Newport, Tuckerman, Batesville, Augusta, Searcy and Wal nut Ridge.
