to have lifted. Old Jules Lascombe,
the gardener, was whistling about the
stables and seemed quite contented
not to be always on the alert for his
former masters queer tricks.
Mrs. Charles de Saulles called and
took Jacqueline to Hampstead on a
shopping tour, and the girl was smll-
ing and bright as she came from the
house Mrs. Emily Ladenburg, a
friend of Nine. Lebaudy's, has been her
constant companion since the shooting,
and other friends have written and
telephoned to the house.
The examination of witnesses before
tha grand jury was confined to the
Rev. William F.. McGinnis, of st.
Brigid's Roman Catholic Church, and
Dr. Guy f. Cleghorn, medical exami-
ner. DR.. Cleghorn later announced
that an examination of Lebaudy's body
proved that he was insane. "Lebaudy
resembles that of Harry Thaw's."
The specialist said that Lebaudy' S
eccentricity was due to the retarded
development Of one part of his brain
and an abnormal growth of another
He was particularly keen and saga
cious in financial problems.
He was congenitally insane," Cleg-
horn stated. MANY Of this type do
not go beyond a certain boundary line
in the excess of their imagination. He
may have inherited it, or it may have
been caused by brain concussion in
infancy" Lebaudy had short, close
cropped black hair and a receding fore
head and chin. He always enjoyed
good physical health.
Chauffeur To BE Called
The testimony of Father McGinnis
is consdered to be of the greatest
weight in assisting the jury to make a
decision. He'entered the jury room at
10 A. N. and remained until 11:45.
The grand jury then adjourned until
Thursday. District Attorney Weeks
said it would examine the chauffeur,
Harry Greenstein, who drove Lebaudy
to his hcme the night he was shot,
and the messenger, Mark Rosenfeld,
who was also with him. The grand
jury, it is expected, will return several
indictments on eases Thursday night or
Friday, and the Lebaudy decision prob
ably will be included among the first.
Lebaudy's body was carried to the
Nassau County Hospital to-day and an
N-ray photograph taken of the bullet
wounds. One was located in the spine.
The body was taken again to Cornell's
undertaking establishment at Hemp
stead and held there pending furthe +
orders from the District Attorney
Professor G. P. Lauman de Lornes,
of Sea Cliff. who has been acting as
interpreter for the grand jury on be-
half of the members of the Lebaudy
household, said he knew Lebaudy
when ne was in the University of
Paris. Lebaudy was a brilliant scholar
and was always eccentric, de Lornes
said. having been talented musician
and linguist, and writer Of verse. With
two brothers, Max and Robert, he in
herited great wealth from his father.
De Lornes estimated Lebaudy's inheri-
tance at about $5,OOO,0OO, to which
were added large sums through specu-
lation on the Bourse.
No message has been received from
Lebaudy's relatives, who are in Paris,
and efforts are being made to COM
municate to them the news of his
death.

Bower,y's Original
SBeefstcak Johns
Sold for $4,000
Famous ':Cofec and' Haven
for Down and Cutters
Passes Out of the Ehrler
Family After Thirty Years

The really original "Only Original
Beefsteak john" whose restaurant at
g Chatham Square f1ourished in the
hcyday Of the Bovcry, when suicides
were frequent in Suicide Hall and
Chinatown was populated exclusively
by Chinese, has passed out of the con-
troll of the Ehrer family, which had
conducted it since 1886.
Those were the happy days when
Dominick Ehrler, alias Beefsteak John
|, opened his eating place For what
the Bowcry charges for a square meal
Now one might then have dincd in
Delmonico's. For what Bcefsteak John
demanded thirtythree years ago for
coffee. slnAers and large chunk Of
teefsteak, one could buy virtuaylv
nothing in the way of food to-day.
For the above mentioned vctuals and
drink the price was ten cents.
Original Owner Prospered
Notwithstanding the moderate prices,
Ehrer prospered. He catered not to
the outsider. for in those days the
bowery was no place for stunning
parties. Chuck Conner5, "mayor Of
Chinatown" FOR q generation, often
dropped IN for "a plate of beef am Il

frequent customers of "John's." The
panhandler. the crook out of luck and
the rest Of the down-and-out popula-
ton of the squalid thoroughfare al
ways were sure Of a welcome at Ehrler's
resort.
Ten cents BOUGHT square meal;
five, bowl of coffee and snkers, and
empty pockets usually a hand-out from
the proprietor. Not a few persons who
had sunk to the lowest level of even
the Bowery look upon Beefsteak Johns
as the turning point and the beginning
of their upward climb.
Is Sold for $4,000
The success of Ehrler's venture
brought a mvriad of "Beefsteak Johns"
INTO eXistcncc. each claiming to be the
original. When Dominick died, his son
Frank continued to run the place. As
time went on, the increase in food
prices caused the Abandonment of the
ten-cents- a-meal" slogan. and of late
years the high cost of living has elm
mated beefsteak entirely from Beef

Frank Ehrler is retiring from bust
ness, he said, because he is tired and
wants a re That the business possi-
biities of the old place have not be \
entirely exhausted is evidenced by the
fact that Samuel Hoffman, of Jersey
City, paid $4,000 for it.

Hays Says Party
WinCarry Forth
Roosevelt Ideals
Republican Chairman in
Brooklyn Address Says
Lesson of Colonel's Patri-
otism Will Live Forever

Republicans will carry on the patri-
otto ideals of Theodore Roosevelt, Will
Fl. Hays, chairman of the Republican
National Committee, told 1000 mem
bcrs of the party who gathered last
night in kismet Temple, Brooklyn
where he addressed the Kings County
Committee
Seven members of Mr.. Hays's imme-
diatc family are i'll in The West, and
he will return at once to his home in
Sullivan, Ind
Senator William NJ. Calder preccdc d
Chairman Hays in a brief speech, and
introduced him.
THE lesson OF the patriotism of
Theodore Roosevelt, which will live
forever, is his monument" said Mr..
Hays. "This patriotism was not the
Kind that is born of cxtremties. 1t
was not that fire, splendid as it is,
which burns in the souls of men only
when their country is in danger.
Practical Patriotism
"iiic was not the patriotism stirred
only by martial music 1t was the pa
triotlsm Of good citizenship at the fire
slde, the plough. the mart, in the low,
places and III the high places, in sea-
son and out of season. 1t was tho pa
trlotlsm which caused him to make
lis country's welfare his own business
and to interest himself continually in
the practical politics Of his community.
This is the only patrictiem, which in
the last analysis is wo~th while.
at was this PATRIOTISM which made
Theodore Roosevelt years aro bccin
his fight for better government and in
the prosaic times of peace make almost
heroic his fight for little children, FOR
social betterment, for economic justice.
for the rights of labor, for the rights
OF capital, fer the rights of Right,
wherever that fight was needed.
Like Abraham Lincoln Theodore
Roosevelt was never too busy nor TOO
good to take part in the actual politics
of his period. 1t is passing strange. in
deed, that men have to be urged to
exercise the .irst privilege of a sover-
clgn citizenship the right to help gov
ern themselves
Ideals Shall Not Fail
"Thc ideals for which Theodore
Roosevelt spent his life shall not fail.
49,. c"ii''Ni s'ieiti iiCt tTdll lOr q mo-
ment. The Republican party shall
move forward. measuring its steps by
the new needs of the nation. the in
strument in this country to apply to
new conditions and changed conditions
the wisdom OF experience and the eff
cacy OF honest. Jealous service"
"Thc Republicans" continued Mr..
lays, carried this county in 1916 by
about $4,000 fer Senator Calder. and
last fail the Democrats carried it bv
about $4,000. What is the answer? As
Republicans. it must be remembered
that lack of political organization is
ineXcusable."
In closing he appealed for zeal on
the part of Republican men and wom-
Ell, "that we may have a representative
government, and not Bolshevik
syncopation.''
Alfred T. Vass, chairman OF the
county committee, presided a. the
meeting.
State Controller Travis presented
resolutions on the death oil Colonel
Roosevelt, which were adopted.

pose Of training other recruits
which were constantly being brought
In. Dave was put in the heavy ar

close Of the war Dave was sent to
France, but before he saw any real
honest to goodness fighting, the ar

sent back. He, however, was able
to see the result Of the big shells
on the ground, and also on the cit

most Of the interesting sights there
were to see. Phil Winter, who
was also sent to the army training
camp from Burke county, came
back from France at about the
same time as Dave did, and is still
at Camp Dodge, though he expects
to get discharged any day. He

the lead all through the first half OF
the game. Norwald, Omer and Eu-
gene were all over the floor and play

tight game so that Kenmare's chan- 4
ces at the basket were few and far

was 9-4 in our favor. Kenmare's
referee took the floor at the begin

to call every case Of personal con-
