Prince OF Wales Hides Out
As He Sails for Am erica

magnificent furnishings, especially
prepared for this trip, is beautiful
with flowers. The Veranda, which
is part of the suite, is a Veritable
bower of chrysanthemum5 hydran-
geas and ferns.
In some respects this is a trying
voyage for the heir to the throne.
He doesn't care for pomp, and there
are many who think it always must
be accorded him. He desires to be
treated as just one of the passen-
gers, and that was one of his first
requests on this voyage. He usually
dines5in his suite, but spends most
of the rest of the time about the
ship. He is keenly interested in
boxing, and, in accordance with his
usual custom when on sea trips,
probably will indulge in little
sparring IN the gymnasium before
breakfast each day. He also is fond
of dancing, and the numerous
American passengers aboard will
certainly give him wide choice of
partners.

Lord and Lady Mountpatten, taking
a launch before dawn from Cowes

ON BOARD THE BERENGARIA,
Aug. 23.-The Prince Of Wales
made a quiet, almost secret, depar-
ture from Southampton today and
started on his way to America and
his vacation.
An ironic thing about this trip is
that he is occupying the suite on
the Berengaria that was built FOL
the eX-kaiser. 1t is d magnificent
suite, and the kaiser would have
lived in it when he made his tri-
umphant tour of the world after
winning the war-if his dreams had
come true.
1t was here that the prince Sc
cluded himself this morning to avoid
all the pomp and formality that was
threatened when thousands of peo-
pie crowded down to the Cunard
dock at Southampton in the hope Of
seeing him and cheering him on his
way. Here this evening he enter
tanned quietly at dinner, his guests
being Lord and Lady Mountbatten,
General G.. F. Trotter and Captain
Lascelles, the latter two his vaca-
ton companions who will accom-
pany him to his Canadian ranch.
There is always one extra chair
set at the princes table for some one
he may wish to ask at the last
minute.

Floating Rum Palace
All a Myth; Reporter
Who Found 1t Fired

NEW YORK. Aug. 23.-Old sea-
farers, bootleggers and prohibition
officers smiled cynically this morn
ing and said Il told you So" when
ever the 17.000-ton floating cabaret
was mentiOned-and it was men
toned often. For the famous rum
ship was admitted last night to be a
phantom ship that sailed only on the
nebulous seas of reporters imagi-
nation.
The reporter that perpetrated the
hoax has been discharged from the
STATE of the New York Herald
Tribune, which published the story
on August Is and the paper has
printed rctraction of the article
with an explanation of how it all
happened
1t seems that ten days ago some
one whose credibility was respected
told the Herald-Tribune that a large
ship was anchored twelve miles off
our coast between Bay Shore and
West Hampton and was dispensing
liquor to all those who had the
hardihood and the wherewithal to
board her.
A reporter was assigned to get
the story" and after two days
absence from the office he reported
that he had it. He wrote a graphic
description of a sumptuous floatinS
bar, with luxurious appointments
that would put to shame the grill
rooms OF the most exclusive con
tinental hotels. He described the
ship, her crew. the habitues and
even save her exact location.
In fact, he described everything
too well-too accurately. Captains
of vessels who had passed that spot
on the night he said ne spent aboard
the craft, when queried about her
said they hadn't seen a flicker of
light anywhere near the spot where
she was supposed to have lain at
anchor.
Suspicious were aroused and the
Herald-Tribune instituted an indie,
pendent investigation. Soon it be
came evident that the story of the
tloaring cabaret was only a fable.
The reporter was sent for and
/ closely questioned, At first he main
/ tanned an air of injured innocence
( steadtastly asserting that his story
/ was true. Following the question
/ ing he left the office promising tC
return the next day with covroboYat
! -nS evidence. Instead he wrote 8
letter rendering his resignation ans
admitting the yarn was false.

Orderly Marketing Of
Tobacco Crop Urged
To Keep Prices Up

DOUGLAS. Ga. Aug. 22-F'rom
a close observation OF the daily to-
bacco sales in Georgia it is appar-
ent that the farmers are unduly
rushing their tobacco on the mar
ket TO the detriment of price, it is
pointed out here. In at least four
or five Of the largest tobacco mar
kets in Georgia this season, it is
declared too much tobacco is being
carried to the markets each day for
the best interest of the growers.
From Tuesday 10 Friday, inclu-
sive. there is usually carried to each
market in one day as much tobacco
as can be properly sold in two days.
and sometimes in three days. This
unduly crowds the markets and has
a depressing effect on the sales. 1t
has been observed that where a mar
ket is badly crowded that days
sale is slightly below normal The
average market with only one set
of buyers can only sell properly from
100000 to 225, 900 pounds per day, OBJ
serving the hours from 9 a. m. to
5 p. IA. allowing an hour and one
half for dinner
Most of the established markets
this year have not had adequate
warehouse space to take care of the
daily receipts due 10 the large crop.
but next year this will be remeiied
with more warehouses.

LaFoNette Cam paign funds
At Dangerously Lou Stage

lined the financial situation in the
organization as follows:
When the various Independent
groups were called together there
were immediate small contributions
from every one and these have en-
abled organization work to proceed
as far as it has. Then a scheme was
started to have every laboring man
in the country give 81 of his weeks
pay. 1t was estimated that this
would bring about a million dollars
if one-third Of the union labors cash
ed in.
But machinery necessary to collect
this money was late in being set up
and even after it was set up, the
contributions were slow in arriving.
1t has not brought the swift results
expected.
Most Of the leaders of the cam.
paign have had little experience in
raising money on such a big scale.
Upon La Follettes orders no large
contributions were accepted and 1t
was hoped that all the money could
be collected in small sums.

PROOF THAT MARS

FLAG STAFF, AriZ., Aug. 23.-Iht
presence of steam or vapor ARISING
from melting polar caps and appear
ance of clouds on the surface, eS-
tabIishing the fact that atmosphere
exists on Mars, have been the out
standing developments in the study
of the planet at Lowell observatory
here during the present observation,
V. M Slipher, observatory directo"
said today.
The planets surface is divided into
red okre and blue green regions.
The red portions have the same APP
pearance as the earth's desert re-
gions and are little affected by
changing seasons, but the blue green
districts, which some astronomers
have contended were seas, @show tint
changes at different seasons, Dlrec-
tor Slipher declared.
The present theory is that these
blue green regions are Vegetatloh'
either forests, grass lands or great
fields producing in season, for they
later fade out and in some sections
change to a chocolate brown color.
Changes in the dark areas, how
ever, do not take place until the
polar cap of snow and ice begins to
recede, which substantiates the the
DRY of vegetation, which appears to
await water before showing growth
This is in keeping with theory ad-
vanced many years ago. Mr. .Slpher
said.
"While we have no proof what
ever that Mars is inhabited by animal
life of any kind, it is our belief that
it is habitable as it has all necessary
elements and conditions to sustain
life" the director added.
