BIGAMIST

MUMMY

BURNED TO ASHES Ceremony Was Performed at Crematory at Washington Cemetery. SHOWMEN DESIRED BODY IT 13 BELIEVED THE MYSTERIOUS WOMAN WHO ORDERED DISPOSAL OF THE BODY WAS ONE OP HIS "WIDOWS." Washington, May 23 All that a mortal of Sidney Lascelles, bogus Lord Beresford, who Is said to have been a bigamist so many times over that efforts were made by showmen to obtain his body after he died, has teen reduced to ashes at a crematory here. The embalmed body of Lascelles, 'was received here from Asheville, N. C, where it had remained at an undertaking establishment for the last eight years. Arrangements for the cremation were said to have been made by the first wifo of Laselles, who Is a members of a "well known Kew York family." Who the woman was that had the body brought here from Asheville and cremated remains a mystery. Where the ashes of the dead man will be Lplaced also is a mystery. All inquiries at the undertaker's met with the jetatement that the latier did not know who had given him the commission to cremate the body. Case Is Mysterious. It was learned, however, that the .mysterious "they," referring to the persons who had given the order for the cremation, had visited the undertaker's early this morning, given instructions and left. . It Is said to be a reasonable conjecture that "they" was the woman who came here from North Carolina, referred to In the dispatches from that place as Mrs. T. J. Sammerfield, a Eister-ln-law of the first Mrs. Lascelles, and Dr. McPherson Critchton, to whom the body was consigned by the undertaker who shipped it from Asheville. A permit was obtained from Coroner ICevitt to cremate the body. Dr. Neritt said that the application for the permit was made by the undertaker; that the death certificate was correct, and that he Issued the permit forthwith. That was all ho knew of the matter, herald. The mysterious Mrs. Summerfield, cr Watson, or whatever her name may be, has managed, so far, to conceal her Identity. It has been suggested that the "Mrs Watson" that called up the undertaker early yesterday morning and wished a body cremated at once was the woman in charge of the body of Lascelles. , It has been suggested, too, that this "woman was herself one of the wives of the much-married Lascelles, and that, she is seeking to keep her identity a secret because of the notoriety that , would be revived if it became known- that he was caring for the .body of her former husband. The body of Lascelles was wonderfully well preserved. After eight years It still retained a recognizable appearance before it was cremated, though the skin was somewhat wrinkled and discolored. Many persons visited the undertaking establishment last night and this morning and asked permission to see the body, but all were told that the body was not to be exhibited. , HILLS WILL EXPAND Greenhouse Concern Leases The Graves Establish- . ment for 5 Years. Because their business has so greatly increased in the last six months as to make the addition of another plant necessary, the E. G. Hill Floral company has completed a deal for the live year lease of the Graves greenhouse, west of the city.

Crowds Attend the Exposition. British-Japanese Display in London Attractive to Americans Hosiery Factories Are Enjoying a Boom.

, BY HERBERT TEMPLE. London, May 23. After the opening of the British Japanese exhibition last week, which has already become a favorite meeting place for American visitors, London is now looking forward to the Festival of the Empire rext week, which will be the most gorgeous pageant the world has ever seen. Nearly two thousand Americans have bought seats for the opening ceremonies which will be attended by delegates from every part of England's dominions and colonies. The Duke of Norfolk is at the head of a reception committee which is organizing hospitality for the delegates during the eight weeks over which the festival extends. In addition to banquets and the like, a number of excursions into the country have been arranged. The majority of the delegates from the various oversea dominions are to take part , in the final scene. This sce'ne takes the form of an Imperial masque, and symbolizes the growth of Empire. The pageant of London is to be presented by 15,000 London citizens. An exceptionally prosperous period is being enjoyed by boot apd hosiery manufacturers in Leicester. Factories are workiDg at high pressure, and so great is the demand in the hosiery departments that it is impossible to get sufficient hands to cope with the v ork. The officials of the local labor exchange have disposed of all the suits?ble women and girls whose names are on their books, but many factories are working double time, owing to being unable to get additional employes. On the export side trade is particularly brisk, and large orders have been received for both boots and hosiery from nearly every Tariff Reform country in Europe as well as from America a hard nut for Tariff Reformers, "iarn spinners, both at home and in North Germany whence come large quantities for the Leicester trade are so loaded up that they cannot deliver fast enough, and thus handicap hosiery makers in the execution of their "orders. The boot trade season has been unusually prolonged, but the greatest point of interest to manufacturers is the attempt now being made to capture the American retail trade. It wi be remembered that some years ago the American manufacturers tried hard to get established in this country and to oust English boot and shoes from the retail markets. In this they failed, and now English manufacture

Enemies of Beveridge Misrepresenting Facts Now Hostile Democratic State Papers Say There Is a Split in the Republican Party Over Way to Conduct the Campaign This Fall..

Palladium Special) Indianapolis, Ind., May 23. Some of the newspapers of the state, especially those which do not want Senator Bev- (

eridge re-elected to the United States candidates held a meeting of their own Senate, have been persisting during j and decided to run their own camthe last three or four days in misrep-I paign. resenting the facts in regard to the j u nas been ,earned on unqueslion. meeting of the Republican state com- ., . lt , , j . w y able authority that there is absolutely niittee and the candidates on the Ke-( - ... ,, u .o hoiri no ground for such a story. Men who publican state ticket, which was held J

in this city last Thursday. These pa pers insist that there was a split in it . i bers of the state committee as to the , manner in which the state campaign i shall be conducted, and that the candidates intend to run their own campaign to suit themselves, regardless of the state committee. Nothing is farther from the truth than this. There was absolutely no disagreement at the meeting. No sign of discontent appeared at any time. On the other hand there was absolute harmony on all patters discussed, tne candidates and the committee members being a unit on everything. It is easy to understand why some of the papers print this kind of matter, but it is not so easy to understand why others do it when the facts are so eaay to obtain. The Democratic papers throughout the state, o fcourse, seize on anything out of which to make it appear that there is discontent among the Republicans as to the method of conducting the campaign. That ib their business. It may be expected that they will do this to further the interests of their own ticket. It is reprehensible to misrepresent facts at any time, but when it comes to a political campaign it is no new thing to j see the Democratic papers resorting to just such methods. But it is different with Republican papers. The fact is that only one or two Republican papers in the state, as far as in known now, have printed such stuff, and it is hard to understand why they did so when they could have had the facts just as well. The story which these papers nave told is that when the committee and the candidates met they entered on a discussion of the plans of campaign for this year. It became apparent to the candidates, according to the story that everything else was to be minimized in the effort of the committee and of the Beveridge people to elect a Legislature that would re-elect Senator Beveridge. Beveridge, it was said, was to be the main issue in the campaign and all else was to be subordinated to this purpose. The story says that when the state candidates found this out they served notice on the committee and on the Beveridge people that they would not stand for it and that they proposed to have the campaign run in their interest just as much as for Senator Beveridge. It says also that some of the candidates and some of the workers made it very plain to State Chairman Lee ithat he would not be allowed to shove Senator ers are fighting American makers on their own ground. Boot and hosiery machine manufacturers are also very active, especially in export orders, but in this branch of the trade no foreign country can compete with Great Britain. Although the "Times" is mistaken in supposing that Mr. J. Pierpont Morgan's precious collection of ofd German silver has arrived recently at the Victoria and Albert Museum, the announcement in our contemporary has, at least, had the effect of drawing public attention to the collection. The silver has now been on view at South Kensington for several months, and with, the other art objects lent by the Great American financier, his contribution occupies half the space in the Loan Court. The collection fills ; two large cases and consists almost i entirely of articles connected with the convivial board tankards, drinking horns, salvers, table ornaments, all of them richly chased or engraved, many of them with inlaid ivory carvings or enamel. What may have led a casual visitor to suppose that the German silver was a recent addition is the fact that the pieces unlike the other exhibits, bear no inscription. That, no doubt, will be remedied in time, and will add to the value of the collection. Duck by Duck. An old farmer had brought twenty ducks to the market to sell and. after the usual amount of haggling inseparable from a bargain of that description, mauaged to dispose of the lot to a dealer. "That's 30 shillings I have to give you," said the dealer as he proceeded to count It out. Bat the old chap's strong point was not arithmetic, and he was not satisfied with this mode of payment. "Noa. noaT he exclaimed. "Ye bought them at wan an' six apiece, an' yell jist pay for tbem dnck by duck." " And "duck by duck it had to be. London Scrape. How It Is Don.

Beveridge ahead of them in the campaign. It goes even further and says that after the joint meeting between

the committee and the candidates, the were present deny that there was any thing fo the kind in sight. One state j candidate who has never been regarded t as a Beveridge admirer said when he it was absolutely incorrect. The fact is. from what the members of the committee and the candidates say, that the meeting discussed all phases of the campaign and decided on the plans. State Chairman Lee called the meeting in order that the candidates and the committee members might get acquainted and plan to work together. Some weeks ago Chairman j Lee made the statement in a public interview that republicanism was going to be the paramount issue in the campaign this year the real old fashioned kind of republicanism. He did not intimate that Beveridge was to be the issue. Every body knows that Chairman Lee hopes to see Senator Beveridge re-

elected and it is natural that he would j form on which I was running. I should do all in his power to bring about this have felt very badly if there had been result while working for the success an effort to hold a second convention of the entire republican ticket, but j that year. t nothing has anpeared yet to show that i Just how the idea originated for the Lee or the committee is pushing Bev-' holding of a second state convention eridge at the expense of any one else. ! is not Known here, and nothing has There is nothing new in the decision been heard of it. Plainly there is nothof the state candidates to form an or-: ing in it. It is merely one of those hot

ganization of their own for the cam-1 Pign. This has been done many times It is not for the purpose of working counter to the state committee. It is for the purpose of affording the candi dates an opportunity to get together! and discuss the campaign for them-, selves and to apportion to the various, candidates the work of attending con-J ventions and meetings in various parts j of the state. The fact is that at the meeting of the candidates held after the conference with the state committee, John Reed, candidate for auditor of state, and Ed V. Fitzpatrick. candidate for clerk of the supreme court, were chosen as a committee to make un a list of the conventions and meetings which each candidate is to attend. These men are already at this work and .will have the assignments ready for the various candidates in a few days. By following this plan it is assured that every meeting or convention of any importance held in the state will be attended by at least one of the state candidates. Tfiis plan has been followed in campaigns for years and is nothing new. It does not by any means indicate that the candidates are going to ignore the state committee or that there is any sorenss between them, soreness between them, candidates were hesitating about paying their assessments to the state committee because they feared that Hubby's Little Game.

the state committee would make thei campaign wholly in the interest of 1 Senator Beveridge and they did not propose to pay in their money for that j purpose. Your correspondent has it j on unquestionable authority that there j

was no such situation developed at the meeting. The fact Is that the candidates expected to be assessed at the meeting last Thursday and some of them were disappointed when it was announced by the state committee that the matter of making the assessments had been placed in the hands of the state executive committee. which would announce the amount of the assessments later. No one objected to anything that was done at the meeting. A dispatch was received here yesterday to the effect that James E. Watson has closed up all of his business at Washington and was leaving for his home at Rushville. Ind., to remain permanently. In the dispatch was a hint at something that had not been heard of here before. It said that Watson was asked what he thought of the idea of the republicans holding a second state convention in Indiana this year. "I am not in favor of it," Watson answered. "I was a candidate for governor of Indiana two years ago and many republicans did not like the platair reports that start nowhere and end j at the same place.
