Heath of his wife and daughter. To

Dickey charged that the trustees had
failed to accept the most advantageous

The attorney general of Missouri, held
by the State courts to be the proper

Dickey then made the appeal to the

the State courts refused to set aside
the sale, and Dickey asked the United

Osborne Days

When the prince was 13 1t was de-
cided in family counsel composed of
King Edward and the Princes parents
to send him to Osborne College as a
naval cadet
He was to go as an ordinary cadet,
with no privileges because of his rank.
This was the wish of King George, then
Prince of Wales, and it is noteworthy
that this was the first time the Princes
father definitely expressed an opinion
concerning the education of his son that
did not altogether agree with that of
the Princes mother.
The matter was being discussed at.
Buckingham Palace when the then
Prince of Wales observed that David
should bear in mind that he is to be
treated at Osborne exactly as an ordi-
nary cadet"
THAT idea" said the Princess of
Wales, ought not to be too greatly en-
phasized. David should not forget his
father is the Prince of Wales"
King Edwards old butler. who told
the story said the King laughed at this
suggestion.
Favors Displeased Prince.
"My dear May" he remarked, "be-
lieve me, David won't be allowed to for
get it. He will never be treated as an
ordinary cadet"
And the Prince had not been long at
Osborne before he found his grand
father was right.
There were two classes of cadets at
Osborne-sons of wealthy parents, and,
in the majority, sons of comparatively
poor parents.
BY the latter the Prince was treated
with good deal more civility than any
other cadet. would have received He

offered to write the impost for him,
the Prince demanded:
Why in the dickens should you write
it for me? Can't I do it MYSELF"
And he did
Even naval officers at Osborne as In
structors favored the Prince, letting
him off punishment.
The wealthy cadets were civil enough
to him. They did not kow-tow to him,
but they did not bully him. Sometimes
they would tease him about his rank,
which angered him, but he would put
up with the teasing as well as he could
Once however, he blazed out.
This was at letter hour when the
cadets went to the letter rack to get
their morning mail. When the Prince

The Prince did creditably in his
studies at Osborne. He passed into
Dartmouth College, senior college for
the Navy. and was bracketed top with
another Osborne cadet in the entrance
examination.
But perhaps most of all did he learn
at Osborne now difficult his position
made it for him when he desired to be
treated as an ordinary person Here is
an example:
When the Prince was at Osborne a
performance of "Pinafore" was gotten
up by the cadets. and they had a pro-
fessional from London to help. The
producer selected the Prince for Cap
tain Corcoran, because he liked the
Princes voice and way of acting.

came up to get the letters directed to
III r. II Prince Edward" there was
group of cadets about the letter rack.
Here you are. your royal high
ing to you this morning. Does she
send her prince kisses?"
The letter was from Princess Mary,
and it angered the Prince to hear the
cadet speak as he did. The Prince
probably regarded it as an insult to
his sister.
The Prince took his letters quietly
from the rack, put them into his pocket
and said to the cadet:
You internal little cad, if you speak
to me like that again I'll punch your
head"

to go on errands for him and clean
up his study. When he was punished
by being detained to write impositions
in the classroom the Prince could al
ways get cadet to do it for him.
This surprised him. He had in his
innocence been genuinely under the
impression that he would be treated
as an ordinary cadet. To find this
was not the case displeased him.

But one cadet, eager to get the part
himself, said to the Prince:

part because you are the sen Of the
Prince of Wales"
That was enough for the Prince. He
chucked the part and would sing only
in the chorus.

We have accepted the invitation of
the Presbyterian church to meet in
their building next Sunday afternoon,

pledges for the local work may do so

Your pastor doesn't see how our

would not have been any more unlike
ly that our splendid young custodian
might have been trapped in the fire.
The relief at being spared such hor-
ror over balances the grief at our loss.
At board meeting Sunday after
noon at the parsonage it was planned
to find a suitable temporary meeting

NEW YORK, Dec. 12.-Prof
Leon Theremin, inventor Of the
musical instrument which ope.
rates on q well-known radio prin.
ciple and enits tones like a
cello when the hands are waved
before it, has found a way to
make his device sound like an
organ, a violin, saxophone, an
English horn or the human voice
Prof. Theremin is at work in
o private laboratory in New York,
where he is designing some in
teresting Sound machines" short
" to be demonstrated here.
The "multiple-tone" machine in
principle is said to be exactly
like the present Theremin, but
having a number of radio os
cillator" circuits which make the
necessary overtone frequencies t.
reproduce the timber" of the in
strument to be initiated.
This method is said to have
been employed by Prof. Theremir
for some time, but has never
been demonstrated in this coun
try. The new instrument car
only make tones of one type al
o time, no multiplication of tones
to initiate band or orchestrs
being possible, it is explained.
The, tone is changed by the
operator from "saxophone' tt

ing a small knob on the Contro
board of the device.

AUBURN PRISON QUIET AGAIN
AFTER FATAL RIOT

where he was being held and
counselled the convicts, the war
den might have been shot then
and there. For hours the warden
was held hostage until he was
finally rescued BY troops under
q barrage Of tear gas bombs and
bullets.
This morning the gray prison
was silent, but it showed the
aftermath Of yesterdays bloody
siege. Sawdust covered the blood
spotched corridors Of the south
wing of the prison, to which sec
ton the convicts had been herded
in the final stages Of the battle.
Cells in this section were riddled
with bullets.
Not One Escape
Not a single inmate of this
overcrowded bastile managed to
effect an escape. The insured
ton had a bold leadership but
the execution was poor. The con-
victs did not reckon with the

action from the outside that had

last. As result of the last riot
several Tingleadcrs were tried and
sentenced to life imprisonment.
They had been in solitary con-
finement for the most part and
we're allowed few privileges since.
But when yesterdays rioting got
under way they were released by
the convicts.
Although there were more than
$500 inmates in the prison the
riot was being staged by q com
parative handful. Estimates range
all the way from is to so. It IS
generally believed only Is were

escape.
THE skirrnishing lasted until
almost 6 o'clock in the evening.
Then an oyerpowering force Of
troopers entered the prison,
herded the last remnant Of the
mutineerS into the south wing
and ended the rebellion by shoot
ing dead six convicts.
This morning q skeleton force
of guardsmen and State troopers
carrying rifles and pistols, pa
raded the snow-covered streets
outside the prison. Near zero
