Lady Shoto Douglas made such display of the Hope
Diamond that she lost nearly all the regard she had won
from the members of the English nobility. She gave
many elaborate sorees in her Soho Square home at which
wine became the predominant feature Lady Sholto,
when she was Loretta Mooney had been used to wine in
great volume, having had as she frequently boosted,
"buckes full at time bought for her by miners who
had come into town with pockets lined with nuggets
And she also boasted she had been able to drink 1t until
each bucket was "dusty the inside" But after the
years of temperance her position lords lady enforced
upon her she had lost the knack of dsposng of such
huge quantities Of wine without embarrassing herself
And her embarrassmens resulting from these soirees
were gossped throughout the city.
Lord Sholto put up with II as long he could and
then he sued for divorce 1t is not easy to obtain d
vorce from the Brtsh courts. More serious complaints
than mere favor the cup that cheers have to be made
before the courts will hear an application from
husband to be separated from his wife Lord sholto
made these allegations and they were serious enough to
obtain for him his decree Incidentally he revealed that
he had been forced by his wife extravaeances to sell
the Hope Diamond at great sacrifice to the trencn VINO

WANTS PROFITEERS TO
BEAR FREIGHT INCREASES

The public may be spared increased
costs of living by reason of the in
creased freight rates, through the
absorption OF the increases from ex-
cess profits, w. Jett Lauck, consult
ing economist for the railroad labor
organizations, stated today.
while the increased freight rates
will place an added burden upon the
consumer, this burden will not be
very heavy, provided prices of COM
modities are raised no more than
necessary to compensate for the in
creased freight rates" Lauck said to-
day
"The increase in freight rates,
1t has been estimated, will
amount to 1920, 100000 year.
Even this large amount is in
significant as compared with the
excess profits now being exacted by
the basic industries. and could easily
be absorbed by them out OF these
profits without any Increase in price
at all. In the data on profiteering pre-
sented by the railroad brotherhoods
to the Railroad Labor Board 1t was
shown that the corporations OF the
country were making excess profits
to the extent OF at least $4,000, 900 900
annually.
Any child can understand that
an Increased transportation charge
OF 81 200, 100000 can be deducted
from an excess pront of s4,-
800 600 900 without any necessity for
an advance in prices and with no In
Jury to industry.
III the increase In freight rates Is
arbitrarily passed on to the public by
producers and distributors II requires
only simple computation In arithme-
tic to show that It would amount to
approximately s12 per capita, or $50
per family per year"

The foreigner was trapped In the

ply to threatening letter. The
agents, after the capture, refused to

placing the ransom in hiding near

oner obtained it later.
The suspect is man about forty
FIVE years old. He was placed in an
automobile after his capture and
spirited away. Early reports that
the man was negro were later cor
rected by the authorities. Forty
Federal agents participated in the
roundup and capture, which was
veiled with secrecy. Sixty other
agents aided in establishing a police
net which extended for miles in every

The suspect, it was revealed, was

closed in on the man he surrendered

was footprints found at the base of
the ladder.
TOOK $4,000 RANSOM.
A reward of $4,000 was offered and
later increased to $4,000 for recovery
of the child.
The father then raised it to $4,000
and dealt directly with the kidnap-
ers. On the night of June IA, he hid
the ransom near his home. The kid
napers obtained the ransom, but the
