IRISH RAT|FY PEACE, DE VALERA OUT
Duncan Sisters
and Royalty

THE story, begun last Sum
= day, Of the Prince Of Wales
neglect Of the distinguished
and titled guests at a memor-
able dinner party in London
recently for the more enter
tanning society Of two whole
some young American girls Is
concluded in The Times Mag
azine section today.
Without self-conscious affec-
tations, the Duncan sisters,
perfectly frank, straight-for-
ward, and unafraid of royalty,
were more interesting to Wales
and the King Of Spain than the
more artificial society leaders
or the drawing-room-trained
and ambitious young buds.
In the interesting narrative
Of the Duncan sisters, the we'll
known singers and child i'm
personators, The Times desires
to make clear that the prince
and the king sat and chatted
and danced with these charm
ing young girls in a secluded
portion Of the ballroom shell
tered by palms and flowers,
and not in a private room.
When supper was served,
the royalties and their two
young friends withdrew to a
small room, where supper was
served for four, to the disap-
pointment Of the other guests.
The Duncan sisters nara.
tive is q remarkable picture Of
the utter boredom of royal ex-
istence and the welcome relief
afforded by two unaffected,
jolly American girls.

With the arrest yesterday Of De
Witt Dixon, twenty-four-year-old ne

also admits that a year ago he es-
capped from Jail at Detroit, Mich, the
police say they have captured the
burglar who for several weeks has

Grant frustrated the attempted es-
cape by flashing an automatic re.
volver at the negro, who edged back
to the chair where he was being ques-
toned by the police and from which
he had leaped to dash through the
window.
Several hours before he was brought
to Police Headquarters to be ques-
toned, Dixon tried to escape from q
cell at the Seventh precinct police
station. The turnkey. on duty. dis
covered the negro pulling bricks from
the wall Of his cell and he later was
transferred to a steel cage at the First
precinct, where he Is under guard.
Search Of the negro's room at 1886
Corcoran street northwest, where he
said he had been living for four weeks,
revealed a melting pot, which Dixon
admitted he used in melting the gold
from the jewelry he stole since he
has been operating in Washington.
The pot was well constructed. 1t was
operated by Dixon at night. He said
he robbed most Of the houses during
the day when the occupants were
away from their homes.
Later, when he was questioned by
detectives at Police Headquarters.
Dixon said he would talk to that man
who wears the gold badge" meaning
Inspector Grant. He was admitted
to Grants office and the two sat
alone, with Grant plying questions.
Grant noticed that the negro was
edging toward the window. A mo.
ment later Dixon was on his feet.
but Grant was prepared for such u
move. and. leveling his automatic at
the negro, said:
Look out, boy, If you don't want to
be dropped!'
The negro then returned to his
chair. He had $500 in his pockets
when arrested. He told Inspector
Grant that he came to Washington
from Columbus, Ohio, after escaping
from the Jail at Detroit.
