York only marks the southern

that the Dixie idea has been left be-

that imaginary division once given
vivid reality in wrangling, blood
shed and subsequent reunion.

little value to the man who slams

Delegates Had Narrow
Escapes in Toxic Fire
Defective Wiring Blamed for
Blaze Which Destroyed Sunday
School Convention Hall

TOXIC. Oct. 6 BY The Associated d
Press ).-Although the fire which yes
terday afternoon destroyed the big hall
in which the Worlds Sunday School
Convention was to have been opened
last night spread with amazing rapid
ity, all the persons who were in the
building, including the members Of the
big chorus of Japanese and foreigners
which was rehearsing, escaped. After
this announcement the convention com
mittec arranged to hold the meetings
elsewhere, and yesterday evening the
first session took place in the y. NJ.
c. A. Hall.
A number of the Americans lost their
bags containing documents, and the
costumes which were to have been worn
in the pageants were destroyed.
The building was of wood and stucco
construction, erected by the Japanese
at cost of 100000 yen. 1t seated
5000 persons. The hall was to remain
n permanent memorial Of the Worlds
Sunday School Convention.
Although the building had been re-
duced to ashes, n statue at the entrance
by the Japanese sculptor Takaishi,
showing Christ blessing the children
Of the world, was untouched either by
the flames or the walls collapsing
about it.
The fire is attributed to imperfect
wiring for the electrical installation

Aged Baronet Awaits
Choice of Dueling Field
Father of Twins at 73 Shows
No Undue Haste to Fight

Copyright, 1920, New York Tribune Inc
LONDON, Oct. 6.-Sir Jlaude Cham
pion de Crespigny the sporting Essex
baronet, who is now seventy-three
years old, is still awaiting the decision
of his cousin, Lord Kenyon, on his
challenge to fight duel, the latter to
name the weapons and select the field
of honor. The peer, who is the tallest
member of the House of Lords, is
showing no urdue haste, but then he
was a bachelor until four years ago
and now is the father of twins.
The bitter fcud Of the cousins had
its origin at the time of the wedding
of the peer when Sir Claude sent the
bridegroom a white feather wrapped in
cotton. Correspondence started and
finally came the challenge. Sir Claude
thinks France or Belgium would be a
suitable place to write the last chap
ter and hopes the seconds will soon
arrange the details. His whole life
has been one of adventure, as he en-
tered the navy at the age of thirteen,
served in the army, acted as war cor
respondent in the Soudan and has
broken half the bones in his body in
falls from balloons, horses and cabs.
In London clubs Sir Claude is the
favorite on odds, but betting is against
the duel being fought.

With regard to national politics Mr.
Depew said;
THE days best laugh is on Governor
Cox. He first had pipe dream about
the Republicans raising u fifteen mil
lion-dollar fund to corrupt the election.
Then he raised the amount to thirty
millions. The result was people hesi-

in. 1t is all very amusing"
Smiles as lie Speaks of Styles
Turning from the more serious pres
ent day problems to those of lighter
nature, Senator Depew dwelt for a
moment on the question of women's
clothes.
Their Clothes" he said with a smile,
"are quite stylish nowadays and stlil
more extravagant. but women have al
ways dressed right up to the limit OF
their means. They wear these fine
things because men demand it of them,
and that is all right, too perhaps, be-
cause you know none of us likes to see
a woman dressed in homespun. There
is one consolation, however. and that
is that silks and other costly things
stimulate industry.
"Woman suffrage seems to be work
ing out all right. Nine-tenths Of the
married women viii vote as their hus-
bands tell them to. and the other tenth
VIII tell their husbands how to vote.
