Edward Payson Weston last night cleared up a great mystery and explained why hfywalked from Maine to Chicago. In all of the discussion that followed his tour from one end of the country to the other the chief question that was asked by the plain citizen was: "What is he making the trip to accomplish?" Walks to Increase Wtiges. It was pointed out that the chief end of man in most cases was to avoid walking, and that the average man rather sought the means to climb into an automobile than to develop prowess upon the wayside roads. Mr. Weston, at the Illinois Athletic club, thus explained why he had come across the continent without contributing to the gross receipts of the eighteen hour trains. "For the last five years I have been lecturing twenty weeks out of each year at ?200 a week. 1 received an of fer from the same people that if I would make this trip they would make a new contract for three years at $500 a week for twenty weeks of the the year." Iteneflt for Weston Postponed. The benefit that was scheduled to have been given for the aged pedestrian did not take place at the Garrick yesterday. Mr. Weston said that pending a decision of the suit of D. A. Patten, who had attached the receipts of the benefit under the contention that he had a contract to manage Mr. Weston, he would not put the Illinois Athletic club in the awkward attitude of being held up in court by such a suit. He retained Attorneys Lawrence & Folsom to go before the court today and seek to have dissolved the restraining order secured by Mr. Patten. He said last night that the only contract Mr. Patten ever had with him was to manage him for one lecture in New York state. "After the suit is settled in my favor, as I hope and believe, I will have a benefit, probably at the Illinois Athletic club," said the mighty walker of the period.

WALSH TRULGOHTINUES Federal Attorneys Intimate That it Will Last Three More Weeks.

Chicago, Dec. 2. Christmas dinner for the members of the jury that is trying John R. Walsh will be served under the supervision of deputy marshals. A review of the evidence in the case and a forecast of the evidence yet to come, which was made yesterday, indicated that the hearing would consume the entire month of December. In this review it developed that a ruling made by Judge Anderson on Saturday not only applies to the cuae now on trial, but sets a strong mark for the trial of the next indictment, which is brought for the new district. In this indictment, which is to be tried after the present case is over, there are counts which charge that Mr. Walsh made a false report of the condition of the bank to the comptroller of tho currency. Decides F.lUilica t lou Point. The ruling which bears upon this point was one in which Judge Anderson held that tho memorandum loans, reported to the comptroller under the general heading of "loans upon which officers and directors are not liable," were in reality loans to Mr. Walsh and should have been reported under the head upon which officers and directors were liable. In making this decision the court delivered himself of an opinion that is esteemed to be exceedingly import ant. In substance, the decision was this: "The loans were either loans made to the person who procured tho loan. or direct purchases of bonds. There is no third heading under which they can be placed. The report had two headings covering the case, one of which accounted for loans upon which officers and directors were liable, and the other accounted for securities purchased. The memorandum loans were not accounted for under either. l'ixe lilame on WuImIi. "When a man being president of a bank, and having influence and control over it, had a subordinate in the bank to make out for him notes in the name of X, Y, Z, or all of the other letters of the alphabet, and by that means gets money from the bank, that is a loan to the man who gets the money." This is a straight judicial determination that the money paid from the bank upon the various memorandum notes constituted a straight loan to the president of the bank. It is a decision to the effect that the reports made to the comptroller did not show the true condition of the bank. Will Last Till Christmas. With this important basis for the weeks' work the government will this morning start upon a new week of testimony. The stock certificate books of the various Walsli properties will come first this morning. They are Introduced to show the actual interest that Mr. Walsh had in the properties for which he obtained the money from the bank. Attorneys Dobyns, Childs and Ilanchett spent Sunday at the federal building with Expert Edward P. Moxey. After the day's work Mr. Childs said: "We have two or three weeks more of direct testimony to put before the jury." FRENCH AIRSHIP LOST Fear LaPatrie Has Drifted into the Hands of Germans. Paris, Dec. 1. The French have been touched in a tender spot by the accident to their favorite airship, La Patrie, which they fear may be irrevocably lost. It became known today how the airship broke loose from the soldiers holding it at Verdun and drifted away. It is more than twenty-four hours since La Patrie put earthly things below and soared, since when nothing has been heard of it. In the midst of reiterated charges that the army was disintegrating with corruption and anti-militarism, Frenchmen turned with love and pride to their unquestioned French pre-eminence in aerial navigation and solaced themselves with the thought that these new achievements gave them a place above the terrestrial warriors of their sordid neighbors. The crowning series of successful experiments was La Fatrie's recent exploit In traveling to Verdun, near the German frontier. All Ilallast Falls Out. Although some early reports said the car did not ascend it was learned tonight the airship took flight following a gust of wind that wafted La Patrie until all the ballast fell out of the car. With the ballast gone the buoyancy was too great for the 200 soldiers holding it and they were obliged to let go. Some of them only released their grasp when their feet were lifted clear of the ground. It was S o'clock and quite dark, and the eye could not follow the flight of La Patrie. The wind being from the east, three officers jumped in an automobile and followed the probable course of the airship in the hope of securing it when it should descend. The wind blowing at the rate of fifty miles an hour made the quest almost hopeless from the start. Moreover, the buoyancy of the airship likely would cause it to rise to an altitude of nearly a mile. Airship Seen Over Wales. London, Dec. 1. An airship, believed to be the French military airship Patrie. which broke loose on Saturday at Verdun. France, was seen passing over Wales from various places In Cardiganshire this morning, traveling seward at a great altitude. Some of the spectators declared that three men were clinging to the ship. In the afternoon an airship passed over Belfast, going northward, apparently under control

VOMEH AS HER SLEUTHS

Philadelphia Wife to Use Their Talk in Suit For Divorce. Philadelphia, Pa.. Dec. 1. Society women were the detectives employed by Mrs. Mary Xewbold Welsh Frazer in procuring evidence which she will use in a divorce suit she has started against her husband, Porsifer Frazer Jr. It was the gossip of society women, Mrs. Frazer admits, that first led her to consider the divorce proceedings. Then, for two months, t..ey kept her in touch with the daily program of Mr. Frazer. !Snme of Woman Kept Secret. The information which Mrs. Frazer embodies in the divorce paper was obtained by her only two months ago. She charges that it was then that she learned that her husband was unfaithful to her and attached to another woman well known in society. Foth sides in the case have agreed to eliminate the name of the alleged corespondent from the testimony. In the papers filed in court Mrs. Frazer calls a spade a spade and sets forth the cause of her application for divorce under the blunt title of "infidelity." Granddaughter of Diplomat. Mrs. Frazer was the daughter of the late John Lowber Welsh, street car magnate and financier. Her mother before marriage was Miss Nevvbold. Her grandfather was John Welsh, once minister to England from the Fnlted States. Mr. Frazer is the son of Dr. Persll'cr Frazer, the handwriting expert. Mrs. Frazer has a yearly income of $100,000, left to her by her father. The latter had owned much of the stock of the Harlan and Hollingsworth engine building concern In Wilmington, and Frazer was made vice president of the company through these holdings of his wife's estate. BOTH ISJJMEO OUT Finds Opera House Closed When He Appears to Address Elks. Derby, Conn., Dec. 1. For the first time in his life William Jennings Bryan was locked out of a hall this morning. He had accepted an invitation from Derby lodge of Elks to speak at the Elks memorial services here today. The lodge had changed the hour of its meeting from evening to 11 o'clock in the morning and then to 9 o'clock to accommodate the speaker in order that ho might return to New York to keep an appointment at 12:30 o'clock today. Bryan learned that to reach New York before noon he must leave Derby before 9 o'clock, as there is no Sunday train after that hour, and sent word to the Elks to change their hour for the exercises to 8 o'clock in the morning. This the Elks declined to do. Bryan came here from Torrington on a train at 7:40 o'clock and breakfasted with Mayor A. F. Howe. Then he and his party walked from the mayor's home to the opera house shortly after S o'clock. It had not been opened. The party then went to the Elks rooms and there met a few of the members, and an effort was made to get Mr. Bryan to remain until 9 o'clock and then go by automobile to New York. He declined to risk himself to the uncertainties of automobile travel and left about 8:30 o'clock. Tho Elks are incensed over his ac tion, lie is a member of Lincoln, Neb., lodge of Elks. LONDON HAS NO LOCAL PRIDE. British Newspaper Takes Whirl at Big Metropolis. Blindfold a Londoner of the center, put him down in the Caledonian road or on Brook Green or at Herne Hill, then take off the bandage and ask him where he is. The chances are ten to one he will have no notion at all. They might just as well be in the provinces. Practically they are in the provinces. They are not inhabited by Londoners in the true sense, but by people whom accident or necessity has brought within the metropolitan area and who would be just as happy 200 miles away. Their atmosphere i3 not metropolitan. They are not of the center. They are on the fringe. That is why London has so little local pride. It is not a community. It is a congeries of suburbs, each with its separate narrow interests, grouped around a little city whose citizens have so wide a horizon that they can spare next to no attention for local affairs. How can civi& patriotism be expected from a man who spends all his week-ends at a house in the country, the spring on the Riviera, the autumn in Scotland or the Mediterranean? London is to him only an incident with boundaries probably smaller even than those which I have suggested. The real Londoners are those who would not consider 14fe worth living anywhere else. The real London is the small space wherein are to be found the interests which fill their lives. Hundreds of thousands of suburbans have never seen a picture in London, never been to the opera or the play, could not tell SL Paul's from the Abbey or distinguish between St. James' and Grosvenor Square. Per centra, few real Londoners know anything about the regions on the fringe. The immensity of London is the constant sul-i't of bewildered comment. It Is P-S Ueness of London which, astonis, "ondori World.

I A Wireless Message.

GrfRin&l.) Alan Lovering, traveling abroad, fell in with a young lady who was touring with her aunt. He first met them la I rurls, where he and they were Inspecting a lace factory. Both the aunt and ! the young lady appeared to be very j refined and not by any means stinted I for money. The name was Varlek. Trobably there are more love affairs among travelers for pleasure than at any other time. Strange, not familiar, 1 faces attract each other, and love flourishes In lAle fields. At any rate. Levering was much attracted to Miss Madelaine Yitrick. Miss Varlek seemed tc be both pleased and troubled at his attentions. Lovering theught she acted very like a girl who had a reason for net rermittiHg herself to accept them. The next step in his inferences a nat ural one to a lover was that there was another man In the case. Lovering shortened his stay abroad in order to cross the ocean with the Varicks. If visiting palaces, galleries, china, tapestry and lace factories near Paris was conducive to love, steamer chairs In close proximity on the deck of an ocean liner were much more so. On moonlight nights especially the young lady was entrancing. But that nervousness, apparently at Lovering's attentions, which she had displayed in Paris was sensibly Increased on the ocean, growing more and more marked as they approached America. One morning Lovering went Into the telegraph otflce to send a wireless dispatch. The operator had stepped out for a moment, leaving two dispatches ready to put in envelopes on a table. Lovering could not well help taking them in, ns they were short. One was addressed to Miss Madeline Varick. It read: Engagement broken. Am free. HOWARD. Here was an explanation to tho young lady's treatment of him. Some one who had been tied op in an engagement wished to marry her. Lovering's heart stood still. Then the words. "All's fair In war and In love," flashed through his brain, and his plan was formed. The operator returned, and Lovering offered to deliver Mis Varlck's message. The offer was accepted, and the telegram went to the bottom of Lovering's pocket, where It re mained till after the conclusion of the voyage. The same evening, while the moon, which had reached the full, was rising out of the ocean, Lovering poured an other ocean an ocean of love into Miss Varick's ear. She listened with pleasure to his declaration, but would give no decisive answer. "Wait till we have landed," she said. "Come and see me a few days after I have reached home, then I will give you an answer." "Why wait?" "I don't know. Something may happen. You may not want me when you know that which" She paused. Lovering was sure she wished to wait and have It out with his rival, and that would probably mean his defeat. He pleaded for a definite response, but la vain. The lady would not bind herself until after the landing. When the steamer passed slowly up the Hudson river and half a dozen tugs were turning her nose Into her docks, the aunt and niece came on deck, ready to go ashore. The anat, who had kept her stateroom during the voyage, now seemed to Varick to have gained flesh. He remarked upon her Improved appearance, and she said that even a few days without air and exercise would cause her to gain perceptibly. Miss Varick wore a long cloak, which she kept well buttoned. When the gangplank waa In place Lovering gave his arm to the aunt, and the three went ashore together. He could feel her heart beating against his arm like a triphammer and wondered at the cause. They had scarcely reached the dock when a customs inspector approached and Bald politely: "This way, ladles." Both ladles turned pale. They mutely followed the officer, who turned them over to a woman, and they disappeared from Lovering's view to be searched. The next morning he learned through the papers a history of the case. The aunt was a New York modiste, and the niece waa one of her shopgirls. The former was wound with many yards of lace, and the latter under her cloak wore several lace dresses, each worth a thousand dollars. The account stated that they had been warned by a wireless telegram, which from some unaccountable reason was never delivered to them. Then Lovering dived into his pocket, palled out the message he had purloined, read it again and knew that he had foiled the game of his beloved smuggler by Intercepting a cypher warning that the New York customs ofneers were "on to" her game. "There is honor among thieves" and sometimes among lovers, though the latter are apt to be crooked, especially when a rival appears. After a flush of shame at having been deceived Lovering was conscience stricken at haviag been the cause of the failure of the girl's smuggling venture. He interested himself in her case and eventually averted punishment for the breaking of the laws, though he could not prevent the smuggled goods from confiscation. But, since she was only acting for her employer, the loss was not her own. The young man's love took a fresh 6tart at the discovery that she was the granddaughter of a southern planter ruined by the civil war. ne renewed his courtship and In time won her in earnest for his wife. He considered her criminal only under the taw. FLORENCE GILBERT.
