washington, Aug. Lord North
cliffe has come and gone And al
Washington has settled back to
discuss the most unusual feud It
has ever encountered, still wonder
ing how narrow the Atlantic ocean
can be at times when criticisms of
newspaper publisher in a foreign
country can touch official life IN
another capital, and give it an un-
easy twenty-four hours.
If Lord Northcliffe had not been
so free with his pen in writings
about Prime Minister Lloyd George
and Lord Curzon, British foreign
secretary, official Washington
would have made a great social
event of his visit. AS it was. Off
Gals who had planned openly to
show their friendship for a dis
tinguished foreign publisher took
their cue from the action of the
British embassy. which made a
last minute cancellation of a din
ner that was to be given in honor
OF His Lordship.
Lord Northcliffe did spend an
hour and twenty minutes at the
White house with President Hard
ing, and also called on Secretary
Hughes at the state department,
but the visits were at the executive
offices and at the state department
building. Both were informal Wis
its, such as might occur if any
prominent American publisher paid
his respects. There was every evil
dence of cordiality. Socially, how
ever. the government took no part
in any entertainment, as might
otherwise have been the case. Re-
lations between governments are
too often strained by mistakes of
etiquet. 1t is still insisted in some
quarters that one of the chief rea-
sons why Viscount Edward Gray
was not received by President Will
son during his special visit to the
United States was the fact that Wis
count Gray mingled socially with
political opponents of Mr.. Wilson
in the senate.
Relished Visit
notwithstanding the obvious de-
itcacies of the situation, Lord
Northcliffe had a very good time,
and official Washington relished
his visit, especially because of the
unusual atmosphere it created. The
newspaper men of Washington,
feeling no such restraints as af-
feet the government in such a stu
alton, gave His Lordship perhaps
the most distinctive entertainment
that any foreigner ever received in
the capital. This Lnay have been
inspired by a professional admira-
ton for a man who custed one min
istry and transformed the entire
conduct of the war by Great Bri-
tain, or it may have been the re-
suit of splendid impression which
Lord Northcliffe had made among
those who know tha; he never per-
mits words of unfriendly criti-
cism of the United States to be
printed in any of the scores of
which he owns and
controls. Anyway, it seemed ut
ting that this visitor, whose sin

LEGAL TRIO
WILL ACT In
SMALL CASE
Governor to Consult "Big
Three" Before Return
ing to Capital.

Springfield, Ill, Aug. 1.-Former
Governor Joseph W. Fifer, James
NJ. Graham, former Democratic
congressman from the Springfield
district, and George B. Gillespie of
Springfield will be the big three
in Governor Small's fight against
submission to Sangamon county au-
thorities on charges of embezzle-
ment and conspiracy to defraud the
state, it was said here today by
close friends of the governor.
Decision to place the case in the
hands of the three attorneys who
appeared before Judge E. S. Smith
as friends of the court" to argue
immunity for the governor. is be-
lieved to have been reached as a
result of the recent Chicago con-
ferences.
Friends of the governor today
took the same view as Attorney
clared that he doubted the authen-
ITCHY of reports that Governor
Small had decided to surrender to
Sheriff Mester in Cook county.
1t was more than hinted today
that Albert Fink, the Chicago at
torney whose message Offering con-
ditional surrender" was received
by Sheriff Mester here last week,
has ceased to be factor in the
governors legal counsel.
Whatever move the governor
makes next in regard to the indict-
ments against him will depend on
the generalship of the Fifer-Gra-
ham Gillespie counsel, it was said.
Governor Small was in communi-
cation with his office by telephone
here today. He said he planned to
go TO Vermillion county tomorrow
to inspect hard roads. Coles coun-
ty hivhways will be the next to re-
ceive the governors inspection and
it was believed today that he would
arrive back in the capital Wednes-
day or Thursday.
Waits for Return.
Chicago, Aug. 1.-State's Attorney
who conducted the San
CANON county investigation of Gov
ernor Len Small's transaction while
state treasurer, which resulted in
the latter's indictment announced
here that the legal machinery of
the capital is ready for the return
of the governor and that an arrest
at any, other place will not be con-
sidered.
Mr. Mortimer said he was here on
private business and not in connec-
ton with Governor SmalIs case.
Word from Governor Small's home
at Kankakee is to the effect that he
is spending today looking after bus
mess in that city and will resume
his inspection of state roads Tues
day, probably going to Springfield
or Thursday. His ar
rest is anticipated on his arrival at
the capital.
Tuesdays Plans.
Danville, ILL.,, Aug. 1.-Governor
Len Small will arrive in Vermillion
county about noon Tuesday from
