For a second consecutive week the
Department of Commerce has declined
to issue licenses for the operation of

United States. Practically the only
change in the alignment of stations
last week was the increase Of power
at kYW, Chicago. which brings the
Westinghouse plant w to $500 watts.
The non-issuance of licenses this
week creates new record in the
radio section of the department which
has never in the past two years
skipped two weeks without granting
at least one or more new broadCasting

incorporation of the accumulation of
revenues during the insanity of their
grandfather, the fifth Earl. In the end
the seventh Earl won the day against
his brothers and sisters, but became
so embittered against them that with
the help of his only son, Ian, he, with
considerable trouble and expense, olsen
tailed the estates, leaving them to his only
son, who was so devoted to his mother,
Caroline, that when he died unmarried
he bequeathed every vestige of the Sea-
field and Grant estates to her for her
free disposal.
His fathers brother, James, who be-
came eighth Earl, thus found himself
without any vestige of the family prop
erty. This peer, who was thrice married,
on each occasion to women of wealth, had
by his first marriage an elder son, Fran
els, who joined the Royal Navy, rose to
the rank of lieutenant, but became in
volved in a disgraceful scandal which led
to the forfeiture of his commission and
his hasty flight to South Africa in an
endeavor to get himself forgotten by the
officers of justice. He led a rowing life
in Natal, the Transvaal and Mozambique
until he again fell foul of the authorities,
when, venturing back to Cape Colony, his
identity in some way became known and
he was once more obliged to fly, this time
as a sailor before the mast on ship bound
for New Zealand.
There he met with all sorts of hard
knocks and queer experiences, earning
precarious living at odd jobs, such as fenc-
ing, ditching and as a farm laborer, until
finally, thanks to the woman who took
pity upon him and married him, he landed
in a permanent job as usher of a Colonial
court under his own name of Francis
Grant. His identity became known through
the searches which had been made by the
Seafield lawyerssin England for his where
abouts, owing to the death three months
previously of his father, the ninth Earl.

field, whose family history was the
1 inspiration of the famous novel
"'Little Lord Fauntleroy," is the heroine
of an even more remarkable romance of
her own. e.
An engagement has been planned be-
tween the Countess, who is very rich, and
Prince Nicholas of Rumania, second son
of the Queen of Rumania The Queen,
noted as matchmaker, has been endeav-
oring to bring about the marriage.
But Just now the Countess title and
some of her estates are threatened by
distant cousin, Alexander Grant, who
claims that he is the rightful Earl of
seafield. If the Countess were deprived
of her title, and especially much of her
wealth, it is supposed the Queen would
not wish her as a daughter-in-law, and
the wedding might never take place. The
dispute about the title will have to be set
tied in court
II was the Countess father who fur
nished the inspiration for Miss Hodgson
Burnett's highly popular American novel
"I,ittle Lord Fauntleroy." He was born
in New Zealand, the son OF, disreputable
and wandering member of the great Grant
family that enjoys the earldom of Sea-
field. The older Grant, unknown to him.
self, became heir to the ancient carbon
few weeks before he died in abject pow
erty in New Zealand.
The son was brought up in great sim
nIicity in New Zealand, and during his
, boyhood was ignorant of the fact that
he was heir to an ancient title and
wonderful old castle. Mrs. Hodgson Bur
nett saw the dramatic possibilities of the
situation, changed the home OF the little
heir from New Zealand to America, made
her hero poorer than the real character,
heightened the contrasts, and wove the
mixture of fact and imagination into the
well-known novel.
We have long enjoyed the surprising
situation of Little Lord Fauntleroy," the
poor little boy from America, suddenly
become heir to an ancient earldom and
castle. But the story stops right there.
Now we know some of the things that
happened to the real Little Lord Faun-
leroy after he took his proud position
in British society.
The New Zealand Earl took possession
of his splendid old castle and was duly
introduced to the House of Lords. He
enjoyed all the shooting and fishing and
conventional pastimes of the British aris-
tocracy. Then the war broke out, and as
patriotic member of the upper classes
the Earl had to go to the front, where
he was soon killed.
His only daughter, Nina, continued to
develop the romance. Quite Unexpected
ly she inherited vast fortune in New
Zealand. Then, by an equally unexpected

ant were to win his case IN OctoDer,
which is regarded as extremely improb-
able, he would become ninth Earl of Sea-
field and the present young Countess
would lose her peerages and her super
craftsmanship of the Clan Grant, but would
still retain some of the Seafield estates.
These were disentailed by the seventh
Earl at a considerable expense and dis
posed of by will in which no mention
was made of'the claimant who insists that
he is his secret son.
The fifth Earl of Seafield spent the
greater part of his long life under re-
straint as insane. His brother, Francis,
succeeded to the Earldom and to the vast
accumulation of the revenues of the es-
tates of his demented brother, and made
generous provision for his numerous chill
dren, issue of his three successive mar
riages. But when he was succeeded by
his son, John, as seventh Earl of Seafield,
the latter declined to continue the allow

obviously of birth and education had led
a very worthy New Zealand woman, an
officer of the local Salvation Army, Miss
Anne Evans, to marry him some years
previously with the intention of rescuing
him from himself. She succeeded so far
that when he died he was a respected
member of the remote rural community
in which she had won for him his employ
ment
On learning of the fate of the tenth
Earl, who had left his wife and his sew
eral children in straitened circumstances,
old Caroline, Dowager Countess of Sea-
field, widow of the seventh Earl, and
owner of all the great Ogilvie and Grant
estates which she had inherited from her
only son, was moved by family pride to
address letter to the other widowed Lady
Seaficld in New Zealand, offering to take
charge of the latter'S eldest son, the
eleventh Earl, to bring him home to Eng
land and to educate him in a manner be-
fitting his position as eleventh Earl of
Seafield, with the understanding that if
he conducted himself well she would make
him heir to the entire Ogilvie and Grant
estates.
The old Countess intimated that she was
ready to send out tutors and servants to
bring him home from the Colonies and to
make an allowance to his mother, on con-
dltion that the latter, as well as his
brother and two sisters, to whom she also
Offered annuities, would break off all re-
lations with him. She was a very imperi-
Gus and masterful woman, filled with
pride of birth, but also with pride in the
Earldom of Seafield. Indeed, she resisted
all the pressing offers of the late Mrs.
Bradley Martin of New York to buy Bal
macaan, Invernessshire, refusing to alien
ate any of the ancestral lands of the
Grants to strangers.
The young Earl's New Zealand mother
rejected the insulting proposal that she
should cut off all relations with her son
because she did not belong to the same

title deed of the Grants to its possession.
Other estates belonging to the Countess
are Cullen House, in Banffshire, and Bal
macaan, in Inverness, leased for many
years by the late Mrs. Bradley Martin of
New York. who used to entertain royalty
there vast numbers of Americans and
Europeans.
1t was expected that an official an.
nouncement would have been made in July
of the formal betrothal of Prince Nicholas
to the young Countess of Seafield. The
recent private visit of Queen Marie of
Roumania to London and the hasty re-
turn to England from the Mediterranean
of Prince Nicholas, on leave of absence,
at the end of last month, was with the
object of perfecting the necessary ar
rangements. They have been postponed
for the purpose of enabling the Scottish
courts to deal in October next with an
annoying claim which has just been put
forward by very old gentleman, now in
his eightieth year, a former tutor named

noble class as himself. She was an earnest
Salvation Army worker, and she believed
that it would imperil her sons eternal
salvation if he were brought, up by so
worldly woman as the Dowager Countess
of Seafield.
So the boy went to school in New Zea-
land and was generally brought up in the
same quiet way in which he had begun his
life.
He was only twenty-five when he mar
ried in the colony young girl whom he
had known from childhood and who had
sat opposite to him in the day school, the
daughter of a New Zealand physician
named DR.. Joseph H. Townend of Christ
Church; New Zealand Not long after
this marriage the doctor, who was an ell
derby widower himself, made a most re-
markable match, leading to the altar Miss
Anne Quayle Moore, the greatest heiress
in New Zealand, her father having left her
a fortune of over $30,000,0O0. Both she
and her husband were devoted to the young
Earl and Countess of Seafield and made
them a very handsome allowance.
On coming of age the Earl took his
place in the peerage of Scotland and Great
Britain. Then came the World War, in
which he lost his life while serving in
France as a captain in the Cameron High
landers.
All his titles and such estates as he
possessed passed to his only daughter and
child Nina, according to the ancient Scot
fish law, by which titles were inherited
by peers daughter if he left no son.
Soon came another astonishing piece of
fortune for the young Countess. Her wild
owed stepmOther in New Zealand, Mrs.
Anne Quayle Townend, died, leaving
the whole of her vast fortune, the largest
in the colony, to her step-daughter Nina
Later came still another piece of luck
for the little Countess. Old Caroline.
Dowager Countess of Seafield, who re-
tanned possession of the principal family
estates, had for years been indignant at
the rejection of her offer to take charge
of the young eleventh Earl's education.
But in time she fell under the charm of
his little daughter and also became inn
pressed with the sterling virtues Of her
Colonial kinsfolk.
When the old Countess died in 1911
it was found she had left the Seafield es-
tateS, including famous old Castle Grant,
to the little Countess, Nina, then five
years old, although she might have left
them to a nearer relative. The Countess
will enter into the enjoyment of her whole
inheritance on her twenty-first birthday,
two years hence, or earlier, if she mar
ries Prince Nicholas of Rumania.
With these successive inheritances Nina,
Countess of Seafield, becomes the greatest
heiress in England and the heroine of :.
romance that reads like fairy story.

The Interesting Picture Painted by

Alexander Grant, who in
sists that he is the son of
the seventh Earl of Sea-
field, born of secret mar
riage of his alleged par
ents in 1916, four years
prior to their public and
official wedding in 1850.
He asserts that owing
to the extraordinary mys-
terry with which the sew
enth Earl and his Coun-
tess surrounded their Sc
cret marriage in 1916 he
had been unable, until
quite recently, to obtain
definite proof of this
union from witnesses who
are still living, but who
are, like himself, well adj
vanced in years. His pre-
tensions have created a
considerable stir, and in
view of the necessity of
dealing with the case
while the claimant and his
witnesses are still in the
land of the living, all
parties to the case have
agreed with the courts to
bring the matter to a def
mite hearing in the month
of October. 1t is under
stood that Alexander
Grant has both sons and
grandsons, of whom, how
ever, little that is definite
is known. If the claim
