HTST1RY1S'
MYSTERIES.
WHO WAS JAMES oRD7

THE public life of the man whose
~ name was concealed under the
palpable alias, of James Ord" COM
menced when this strange character
was sent to Georgetown college, in
Washington, with the statement by his
guardian, Captain Ord, that "if you
had your rights in England you would
be some one the very mention OF
whose name would cause every head
to bend. God forgive those who have
wronged you, my boyI"
In order to remain close by his
charge, the elder Ord secured q posi-
ton in the Washington navy yard, but
1t was noted that the allowance which
he was able to make to the boy wh0
passed as his nephew, was out of all
proportion to his salary as a master
mechanic. Young Ord remembered lit
tie Of his life abroad-though there
seemed to be hazy recollection Of
tall and stately woman, sad-faced and
dressed in the most expensive of fab
RIGS, who had visited him at intervals
during his childhood. In later years,
however, he had spent the major pOr-
ton of his time travelling with his
uncle" and It was only when they
came to Washington that the pair set
tied down for any appreciable period.
Before the youth concluded his
schooling at Georgetown college Cap
tain Ord was taken i'll, and, after a
sickness as brief as 1t was mysterious,
died while trying to tell the boy the
secret Of his parentage. James," he
gasped, II have sworn not to do so,
but I must tell you that your father
was" and here a fit Of coughing
seized him, which prevented his dis
closure of the mystery.
Upon investigation Of his guardians
papers, Ord discovered that the man
had not been his uncle, but was mere
~ common sailor in the British navy,
who, through the exercise Of some po-
litical influence, had been given the
post of dockyard inspector under the
Spanish crown. The younger Ords
supply of funds continued undated
and he placed himself under the tu-
telage of Maryland priest, who, in
addition to teaching him, assisted in
the search for the truth concerning his
parentage. This search led to the con-
clusion, unsupported by any direct
documentary evidence, that he was
the son of George w of England, born
while that monarch was prince of
Wales, his mother being Marie Anne
Smythe Fitzherbert, whom George had
married in 1885,
When Ord was we'll on in life, he
wrote to Mrs. Fitzherbert, but was
unable to obtain a reply from her, al
though he died in the firm belief that
she was his mother. This contention
was also accepted by the Jesuit fa-
theirs of Georgetown college, who, in
the centenary history of the institu-
ton, mentioned the name of James
Ord, son of George w." in it's list of
alumni.
After various adventures in Amer.
lea, including trip to the far West
In search Of gold and the accumula-
ton Of a considerable fortune on the
Pacific coast, Ord was appointed to
the bench, and returned to Washing.
ton, where he built handsome home
on Pennsylvania avenue. Later, how.
ever, he moved to Omaha, where he
died at the age Of ninety-seven, still
strong In the belief that the long.
delayed unsealing of Mrs. Fitzher.

tinuous line on both sides of the Lin

ty. Two tablets, at either end Of the
25-mile thoroughfare, were recently
unveiled and dedicated At the exer-
cises letter from Mrs. Warren G.
Harding was received by the Woman's
club, In which she said:
I'm the planting of 25 miles of that
famous highway, you have erected
memorial that the entire country can
enjoy In the years to come. May long
life attend the trees you have placed
In the care of the Lincoln Highway
Memorial and Tribute Tree associa-
tiOn."

MANS JUDGMENT OF WOMEN
Real Truth, Though Long Known, Is
Here Published Absolutely for
the First Time.

A man notices, first q woman's face,
second her skirt, third her shoes and
fourth her hands.
He rarely sees her hat, but proba-
bly, feels it. He gets the effect Of 1t
unconsciously.
Mentally, man is first conscious Of
a woman's eyes, second her voice. Be
yond these two his curiosity doesn't
go.
But If her voice shows too much Of
the clever Or the intellectual he begins
to back off, and then probes her eyes
to see whether they belle her voice or
not.
A woman's eyes often do this same
thing. Her voice may say, Il am very
highbrow," while her eyes are saying,
Don't you believe It'll"
This is the way, all over the world,
men are judging women and have al
ways judged them. But 1t is great
secret. Nobody knows 1t but a very
few people who have solemnly agreed
never to divulge it.
1t Is so universal among all men
that they are quite unconscious about
1t.
1t is here published for the first
time, thus violating tradition and Gus
tom, which declare that what every
body knows should never be revealed.

Some Water Power.

Thirty-one per cent Of all water

Of our total potential water power
and of this, AZ per cent is In the west

She didn't approve of daring dress.
Mrs. Gould entertained an English
woman at her Lakewood place last

II was invited to dinner to meet
her. She is an athlete, you know--a

MARY P|CKE()RD'S
DIVORCE UPHELD
Nevada Supreme Court Rules
Out Attorney Generals
Action to AnnuI.
By the Associated Press.


CARSON CITY. New. June MARY
Pickford's divorce from Owen Moore.
validated here yesterday, when the
state supreme court ruled the at
torney general had not the power to
institute and maintain an annulment
action, had removed today the legal
shadow which was cast over the
film stars marriage to Douglas Fair
banks. who claimed her as his wife
tone week after she obtained a de-
cree Of divorce at Minden. New, in
1920.
The main question involved in the
decision is that of the power of the
attorney general to bring an annu,-
ment action, the court held In Its de-
cision. passing over all other conten-
cept to hold that the lower court or
der. annulling and revoking the or
der for publications Of summons is an
appealable order. ag1s
The divorce of Miss Pickfordi at
Minden. New. precipitated the action
by the state on the ground that Miss
Pickford's residence in the state had
not covered the period required by
law. The district court. in which the
divorce was granted, was asked tc
review its decision and reverse 1t.
self, but held that the action had
been regular and that the degree
would stand.
Attorney General Fowler then ap.
pealed to the state supreme court
charging that the divorce was OBJ.
tained through fraud, and collusion'
on the part Of Miss Pickford. and con.
| tending that the Minden court hao
no jurisdiction. The defense an.
swered that the state was not ar
aggrieved party and therefore had nc
authority under the Nevada law tc
prosecute the action. Arguments
Were heard here January 80.
