LOSES $4,000 GEM
AT A SOCIETY BALL
BROOCH STOLEN FROM WIFE
OF BRITISH ADMIRAL. MANY
YANKEES AT FUNCTION.

LONDON.-A sensation over which
London society has been buzzing for
the last "a hours and which has eluded
the most strenuous efforts to keep it
secret came to light this afternoon,
when it was announced that Lady
Beatty, the wife of the British admiral
and formerly Ethel Field, of Chicago,
was robbed of brooch worth $4,000
Thursday night.
The beautiful bauble was stolen or
picked up sometime between 10 O'Clock
Thursday night and o'clock yester-
day morning, while Lady Beatty was
attending a ball given by Mrs Mar
shall Field at Mall house in honor of
Miss Gwendolyn Field
There were about $50 guests, in
Guiding the prince of Wales, the duke
of York, Lord Louis Mountbatten,
who is to be married on Tuesday, and
others, all we'll known socially or mem
bers of the most exclusive set, includ-
ing score or more of Americans.
Mall house, the official residence oil
Admiral Beatty, was thrown open tc
Mrs. Marshall Field on the occasion
of presenting Miss Gwendolyn. Prior

Lady Beatty drove to the ball with
the prince OF Wales, riding in the
princes limousine. She wore a white
satin brocade dress with Venetian lace
embroideries. Just above the waist belt

mond cluster brooch.
Misses Her level.
On entering her limousine with the
admiral at 3 O'Clock in the morning
Lady Beatty discovered that her
brooch was missing. Immediately she
notified the Scotland Yard men, who
began discreet observations at once
The sleuths privately identified all the
guests still present, but about 100 hac
already left Mall house.
When detectives learned of the theft
they suggested that a search be made
of everybody present. Horriied at the
suggestion Lady Beatty pointed Out
that the prince of Wales, the duke o.
York and scores OF other mobiles were
present. She insisted it was impossible
to take such drastic measures and stat
ed she preferred to lose her jewelry.
It was decided that it would not be
possible to search the other guests i
the nobility was exempted through
fear of scandal and indignant protests
from official circles.

PRESIDENT HARDING'S
POSITION is CLEAR
OPPONENTS OF THE MEASURE
HAVE SUFFICIENT VOTES
MAKE REJECTION SURE.
FEARS NEW HUGE DEBT

Republican Caucus Pledged to Take
Up Bonus Bill, and 1t Will Be Pass
ed. Democrats Are Opposed to
Measure Now Pending.
WASHINGTON, D. president
Harding will veto any bonus bill pass
ed by congress.
This is the information that was
brought to the capital by men who
have seen the president and who have
Mr.. Harding's assurance that he will
not, by his approval, place a new
burden of billions of dollars on the
country in order to please the bonus
advocates in and out of congress.
Already the senate has been polled
and count of noses indicates that,
when the veto comes into that cham
Der, the president will be sustained.
1t will require "a votes to pass the
bill over the presidents veto.
In the last ten days three different
men are said to have talked with the
president and to each of them it is
said the president announced that he
would veto the bonus. measure if it
reaches him during this session of
congress. Moreover, his attitude in the
next congress will undoubtedly be the
same as in this, say those who profess
to be able to speak with authority.
The president, it was said, is con-
WINGED that neither the treasury nor
business is in a position to stand the
shock OF new debt of somewhere
between $4,000, 100000 and $7,0O0,000,-
000
1t would appear that any hopes the
sponsors may have entertained may
be definitely discounted. The repub-
llican caucus is pledged to take up the
bonus bill as soon as the tariff is out
OF the way, and it is considered GER
tain that the peldge will be kept and
bonus bill of some sort passed,
which if it comes from conference,
will go to the president.
Legion Men Worried.
The president is assured of the sup
port of some of the most influential
senator's on both sides of the cham
Der, among them Senator Underwood,
the democratic leader; Senator Wads-
worth, chairman of the committee on
military affairs, and Senator Warren.
chairman of the committee on appro-
priations. Other senators who will be
found in the anti-bonus ranks are Mel
son, Ernst, Moses and Pepper of the
majority membership, and Williams,
Dial, King, Myers and Glass from the
democratic ranks.
The representatives of the veterans
organizations are showing signs of
nervousness, and several of them have
been in conference with senator's who
favor the passage of the compensation
bill.

EQUAL on Toast" Means
Much to Mexican Stores
Poems of Nuevo Leon and Coahuila
Trap and Ship Birds TO u, S,

WASHINGTON, D. C.-"Ouail on
toast" is beginning to mean much to
the poems OF Nuevo Leon and Coahui-
la, Mexico. The depleted reserves of
many of our states, including Penn
sylvania, Maine, Texas, Illinois, Geor-
gia, Ohio, Mississippi, are responsible
for what is now assuming the proper
tions of an industry in that section of
Mexico-the trapping of quail. Live
quail are being shipped from there by
thousands, says Consul Harry L.
Walsh, Nuevo Laredo, and the de-
mand is only limited by the number
OF persons engaging in the new work.
Funnel shaped nets, the lips of which
are about 200 feet apart. are used to
catch the bob whites the birds being
driven into the mouth and on into
the spout where they become captive.
The quail are shipped through the
United States in special coops, and the
industry has been recognized by the
Mexican government, which issues Ii
censes to trappers According to re-
ports OF trappers and birdmen, the
quail are very plentiful and increased
measures for trapping them will have
no practical effect on the Mevican sup
| ply for many years.
