Temperance committee, to which
these bills were referred when they
reached that body. ON Monday re-
ported all three of them favorably.
The New Castle county bill was
passed on Tuesday; but the Kent
and Sussex bills were returned 10
the House because of irregularity IN
passing them. They will be repassed
by the House and returned TO the
Senate for final action.
The question has arisen as to what
effect the Cannon amendment to
the Loose Law will have in the
event any of the counties again vote
dry" Legislative attorneys point
out that it will be effective then as
now as the special election which
will be held on June if the three
bills are passed by the General As
sembly, would only determine whe-
theT the counties are to remain dry
or permit licensing of liquor.
The Loose Law Is the possession
act of this State and the local op-

on the amount of liquor or beer any
individual wanted to have in their

the French blue" As the story goes,
it was wrenched from its setting in the
forehead of a Hindu idol and taken by
the French traveller Tavernier back to
France, where 1t became part Of the
crown collection.
As though in punishment for defiling
a place of worship, Tavernier was torn
to bits by dogs shortly after selling the
bauble to Louis XIV.
Nine. de Montespan, in the favor of
the King, asked it of him-and shortly
thereafter lost her place.
1t, was inherited by Louis XIV, who
fearful of its history, locked it up.
Louis XVI, however. again brought 1t
forth to adorn his consort, Marie
Antoinette-and both fell under the
guillotine. as did Princess Lamballe,
whom Marie Antoinette had permitted
to wear it.
When the Revolution swept France
the stone disappeared, and did not come
to light again until 1880. In the mean
time, IN an obvious effort at disguise,
the gem had been cut down to its pres
ent size-44i2 carats-but its glory still
was recognizable.
1t was acquired by one Daniel Ella
son. who sold it to Henry Thomas
Hope, whose daughter the wife of the
Duke of Newcastle left it to her son,
Lord Francis Hope
He bestowed it upon his bride, May
Yohe, the musical comedy star. She
left it behind when she eloped with
Putnam Bradlee Strong. But the stone
also left its mark on May Yohe, who.
in a turbulent career, once was reduced
to the necessity Of working as a scrub
woman.
Then the jewel was purchased by
Mclean, at a price said to have been
$500, 900, but also reported to have ex-
ceeded that sum vastly.

citis, Mrs. Mclean authorized the fol-
lowing statement:

raise some money on the Hope dia-

pigeon-blood ruby, described as one
of the finest Of its kind in the world;
priceless collection of emeralds:
sapphires of great worth and snuff
box of diamonds and emeralds that
was the property Of Sultan Of Turkey
The effort to pledge her jewels to
gain possession of the Post is the con-
tinuation of fight that Mrs. Mclean
has waged unremittingly since the
paper became involved in difficulties
surrounding the estate Of John r. Nc
Lean. her father -in-law, and went on
the market.
Estranged from her husband. Ed
ward B. Mclean. who was removed as

ship recently, Mrs. Mclean has sought
to prevent it from going into outside
hands, declaring she wanted her two
boys, John r, Sd. and Edward. to
carry on when they leave school. The
McLeans also have a daughter. Emily

way, however. While engaged in this
struggle. Mrs. Mclean made her we'll

naped Lindbergh baby, through the
aid of CASTOR B. Means, now under
prison sentence on a charge Of defraud-
ing her of more than 100000 in that

most famous stones Of all time, its his

Since then the animal had lain on

seldom opening his eyes. DR.. Mullin
