London, July 29 It was thought, when Mrs. Samuel Sloan Chauncey married General Cecil Bingham, that ever busy gossip would allow her name to sink into that oblivion that usually lies behind the altar. This has not been the case, however, for she is again before the public by reason of an unique garden party, whose lavish magnificence surprised England's socially elite, and whose list of guests caused much comment. Mrs. Bingham was formerly Miss Carr, of Richmond, Ind. The reason, the guests attracted so much attention frrm the wagging tongue of gossip was because they included almost every person ever reported engaged to the fascinating wid ow when she was considered one of the beet catches of the London season. Among those to whom she played hostess was Arnold Morley, the wealthy bachelor, whose name was for 60 long a time connected with hers. BOY IS DEGENERATE Murderer of William Jackson Admits His Crime. (National News Association) New York. July 29 St. Paul Geidell, the 17-year-old bellboy, self-confessed slayer of William Henry Jackson, the aged broker in the Hotel Iroquois, on West Forty-fourth street on Wednesday night, will be arraigned by Criminal court to plead, on Monday, and counsel will probably be named by the court to represent him at the trial, which is to begin early in August. No time will be lost in rushing his case to trial, district attorney Whitman declared today. Meantime young Geidell is in the Torabs, his every movement closely watched to prevent hinv from taking his life. By turns he cowers shudderiugly in his cell as the full euormity of his crime dawns upon him, and agrin he adopts an air of a braggart as though proud of hi3 exploit. He is a boy of medium size and rather good looking in a general way, though his features are weak and his ears almost lobeless. the latter a sign of degeneracy. Most of the time he is in a state of collapse and has eaten little food since his arrest early yesterday.

Great Japanese Admiral Who Sank the Russian Fleet, Coming to U. S. After a Visit in England.

ENTERTAINMENT OF GUEST MAPPED OUT During His Sojourn in .This Country the Great Naval Officer Will Have But Few Minutes to Rest. (National News Association) New York, July 29 With the exception of a few minor details the arrangements for the reception and entertainment of Admiral Count Heihachiro Togo, chief of the Naval Staff of Japan and the hero of the great sea fight of May 27 and 28. 1904, in which he annihilated the Russian fleet in the Straits of Tsugaru, are completed and the distinguished visitor, coming here from England, where he represented the Japanese government at the coronation of King George, will be given a royal reception. Accompanied by his naval aide, Commander N. Tanizuchi, Admiral Togo sailed today from Liverpool on the Cunard liner Lusitania, which is expected to arrive here next Friday, August 4. During- the trip across the ocean Admiral Togo will occupy the royal suite on the magnificent steamer. For several weeks the state and navy departments have been busy arranging the plans for the reception and entertainment of Admiral Togo during the seventeen days he will spend in the United States as the guest of the nation. President Taft appointed Capt. T. M. Potts, U. S. N., as the official representative of the Government and as the escort of honor of Admiral Togo during his stay in this country. Commander Hirago, J.. J., N the naval attache of the Japanese embassy in Washington, will act as the official representative of the Japanese government. Reception Planned The arrangements for the reception of Admiral Togo upon his arrival in New York depend to some etxent upon the time of the arrival of the Lusitania. Should tb,e steamer arrive at night, the formal reception will be postponed until the following morning. It is hoped, however, that the big liner wil arrive at daytime. In that case the saluting guns of Governor's Island will greet the Admiral w ith a salute of seventeen guns, when the Lusitania passes up the Hudson. Should the Lusitania arrive at night, the formal salute will be postponed until Admiral Togo visits the army divisional headquarters on Governor's Island to return the visit that Major-General Grant will make to him as official rep resentative of the army in this part of the country. Similar honors will be shown Admiral Togo on the occasion of his visit to Rear Admiral E. H. C. Leutze, U. S. N., the commander of the Brooklyn navy yard, and by the United States warships which the Japanese admiral, shall visit. It is safe to say that Admiral Togo will have little time for rest during his sojourn in the United States. During his stay in New York one public function will be followed by another. Admiral Togo will be the guest of honor at special receptions on Governor's Island, at the Brooklyn navy yard, as well 1 as every one of the warships, completed or in course of construction, that are at present in the yard. To See President In accordance with the itinerary planned, Admiral Togo, when leaving New York, will proceed to Washington, where the most elaborate arrangements for his reception and entertainment have been made. The visitor will be entertained by President Taft, Secretary of the Navy Meyer, Secretary of State Knox and other distinguished officials. He will visit Mount Vernon and place a wreath upon the tomb of Washington, and will be taken to one of the naval yachts or an inspection of the great Indian Head proving grounds. Congress appropriated 510,000 to defray the expenses of entertaining the distinguished visitor. Admiral Togo will remain in Washington four days and part of one day will be devoted to a visit to the Naval Academy at Annapolis, Md., where special honors will be shown the great sea fighter. From Washington Admiral Togo will return to New York, to fulfill engagements with the Japan society of America and the Nippon club of New York, whose guest of honor he will be. After a brief visit to Philadelphia, Admiral Togo will visit Boston, from whence he will proceed to Niagara Falls, where he will cross the line into Canada, to continue his further tour westward on Canadian soiL He will make stops at several large cities in Canada and will be entertained by the official representatives of the Dominion government on hia way to Vancouver, B. C, from which port he expects to sail for. Japan about the end of August.

SECOND NAT, BANK Thousands of People Yesterday Vir'ed the Beautiful New Structure. The formal opening of the Second National Bank, probably one of the most beautiful buildings of the kind in Indiana, took place yesterday afternoon and last evening- More than four "thousand people poured through the corridors of the beautiful structure which has been constructed at a cost of approximately $100,000. Hick's orchestra wras placed in the rear of the lower floor, which will be occupied by the Second National Bank. The other three floors are solely for offices, there being thirty-seven suites, nearly all of them having already been rented. From the exterior the new home of the Second National bak presents an imposing appearance. It is four stories in height, built of stucco, a composition material of cream white, and designed in the most recent style. Panels of green tinted iron add to the outside beauty of the building. Heavy brass doors are hung, behind which are revolving storm doors. Probably the most attractive feature of the bank from the standpoint of those who attended the opening was the huge fire and -burglar proof vault, which is located in the rear of the first floor. There is 79 tons of steel in the enormous structure. The door, fitted with a time lock of the most scientific pattern, weighs 12 tons and is guaranteed to be impregnable to the cunning of the most skillful burglar with his tools. There are "04 boxes in the vault and space for the installation of 1,000 more. The edifice is said to be the first fire proof structure built In the city. The frame work is of steel, and reinj forced concrete. Work began on the j building a year ago last January. There was little delay in construction, the building being finished about the time anticipated by the directors. A ! great deal of time and skillful work was required in the installation of the steel vault which is the only one of the kind in the city. The safety deposit boxes are intended for valuable papers and gems. Many of them have been rented. The bank was beautifully decorated for the public reception in roses, gladioli ferns and palms. Directors and officials of the bank were in the offices. PEACE TREATIES TO BE SIGNED MONDAY (National News Association) Washington, July 29. Arbitration treaties between ; this country.

The boy scout' movement, which is general in all parts of North America, has reached Richmond. There are two troops her, one recruited by the Young Men's Christian association and com manded by scout master R. J. Horton and the other organized at the First English Lutheran church and under the leadership of scout master A. R Winjum. The membership of the two troops totals fifty-five boys. Parents and boys are much interested in the work and it is probable that within a few months two other troops will have been organized and additional recruits added to the two organiza tions now in the field. Not only are the benefits of Ihe organization to be considered from the educational and physical development advantages, but also for the good training of a business nature afforded. Business Enterprise The boy scout movement is a big business enterprise. It involves the expenditures of $60,000 yearly for the maintenance of the National Headquarters of Boy Scouts of America. It necessitates the printing of hundreds of thousands of manuals, bulletins and other information concerning the movement.. It requires a big business staff, -at. the head-of which is a man trained in law, the science of philanthropic works and skilled up-to-date business methods. It requires the thoughtful attention of many distinguished men who are devoting the greater part of their lives to philanthropic work.- It has absorbed the sympathy of thousands of able business and professional men throughout the country who appreciate its great opportunities for the all-around development of boys into excellent citizens. When one considers the thousands of boy scout patrols' and roops throughout the country, on' ' .es not think of the tremendous bjmess system behind the varied and scattered activities of those boys. In every city and almost every small town throughout the country, there are boy scouts. They are being trained physically, mentally and morally. They are having, fun engaging in rival fishing expeditions and swimming contests, tak ing hikes in the woods, stalking animals and birds with cameras, learning to paddle a canoe, swim and to camp out. They are doing those things first because it is fun, but they have over them scout masters who see that they do those things systematically, that they do not over-exert themselves physically, but play in a manner that increases their physical strength, makes them alert in mind and fills them with a desire to be honest, upright men. As these boys progress In the various lines of boy scout activitiese, winning merit badges, " doing things that educate them and prepare them for the battle of life, there are many things that they want. They demand scout manuals, hats, suits and shoes specially made for tramping in the woods. They may want a scout whistle or a handy little axe. They may want to know something about the birds or the animals in the woods. They may want badges to show that they are scouts. They want merit badges for which they are so eagerly striving.

Sixth District Representa

tive Still Loyal to Hash Instead of Fried Chicken, a la Maryland. LAFOLLETTE WOOL. BILL IS DISCUSSED Congressman, Is Not Very Familiar with the Measure Pleased with . Combination of Progressives. - V Despite the fact he is a member of congress and the Democratic leader of the Sixth district Finly H. Gray of Connersvllle retains that same dem ocratic spirit which marked his cam paign. In brief his friends declare, to use a slang expression, "his head has not been hurt" by the position to which he has been elevated. Congressman Gray avoids the "swell" hotel. He instead stops at a boarding house when visiting Richmond. Though some of constituency do not admire this democratic trait of keeping so close to the people that he eats and sleeps with the laborer. Congressman Gray refuses to forsake the boarding house, and he is admired by othere of his constituency because he prefers hash to fried chicken a la Maryland. When the congressman has ocea- -sion to stay a day or so in Richmond, he stops at the Armor house. 23 North Seventh street, regarded generally as one of the better class boarding houses in the city. The Armor house waa his headquarters when he campaigned in this city and ever since then he has stopped there in preference to the hotels, where it would be expected a man of his position would be a guest. His Daughter lit. " Mr. Gray was called to Indianapolis Saturday on account of the illness of his daughter, who was overcome by the heat. He will return to Washington either today or Monday. While here he met a . few of his closest friends and. adfJUtors and talked with -. them concerning matters before the special session. '"The most significant event of the special session, he told one of the local chieftains in the party, "is the combination of Democrats and insurgent Republicans in the senate which resulted in the passage of the La Follette tariff bill. ; m - - He said he is not sufficiently familiar with the La Follette bill to express a final opinion on Its merits, but be said that the fact that Democrats and Insurgent Repujlicans joined to put It through the senate is of great significance. He believes, however, that to get the bill through the house. It will be necessary further to reduce the tariff rates on woolen products. He does not believe the house will accept the bill unless these rates are lowered. "What I regard as being vastly more Important and significant than the reductions effected by the La Follette bill is the disposition shown by the progressives in both parties to act together," said Mr. Gray. "Whenever this course of action Is made to prevail more generally much progressive legislation will result. Probably the strongest reason why this bill finally should be made a law la that.lt would be a vindication of this fusion of progressives." May, Support Tham Mr. Gray is of the opinion that considerable tariff legislation may result during the present special session. He said that although it la evident that the rates proposed in the various bills are not low enough he may support them as better than those found in the Payne-Aldrlch measure. "From my knowledge of the senti- " ment of the house I predict that the La Follette bill will not be concurred in," he said. "It is possible that it will receive general support as a better measure to have in force until genuine tariff reform is possible.' Mr. Gray offered the only amendment to the Underwood wool tariff bill in the house. He proposed that raw wool be placed on the free list and that the other wool duties average 20 per cent. He still believes that neither the Underwood bill or the La Follette bill offer low enough rates. CANADA PARLIAMENT IS NOW DISSOLVED (National News Association) Ottawa, OnU July 29.
