6. 0. P. PLATFORM IS TENTATIVELY MADE UP; IS TAKEN WEST WASHINGTON, June 3. The tentative draft of . the Republican national . platform was given its finishing touches at conferences here Wednes- ' day and Senator Watson of Indiana. . who has been in charge of the task, was to leave for Chicago tomorrow to .confer with prospective members of .... the convention's resolutions committee. The plank on Mexico was added to the draft Wednesday. It was written ty Senator Fall of New Mexico, who headed the Senate's special subcomnjittee on Mexican affairs, and later was revised in some minor respects at a conference attended by Senator Watson, Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, the Republican leader of the Senate, and a number of other prominent Republicans. It is understood to follow in general the recommendations made by, Senator Fall in his report to the Senate, declaring that unless conditions in Mexico are Improved the United States should intervene. Plank on Woman Suffrage. All mention of prohibition is omitted from the tentative draft and it was understood that those who conferred here would recommend against any declaration on the subject. That issue. It was suggested, should be regarded as settled. The tentative draft contains a declaration, however, urging prompt ratification of the woman suffrage amendment. Another declaration still missing from the platform is that relating to the soldier bonus. The leaders here said they were unprepared to make any recommendation on the subject under present conditions and that a

plank on the subject would be worked cut at Chicago. No attempt was made to reach a final decision on a plank relating to the League of Nations. Several tentative declarations have been drafted, however, and will be laid before the party chiefs at Chicago. In its work the conference had before it the platform adopted by the Virginia Democrats and recently given the approval of President Wilson. It was said that every effort was made so to phrase the Republican draft that it would make the issues as clear and direct as possible.

Mrs. Frederick V. Stott. Four years ago Frederick V. Stott, New Yorker, who had cast in his lot with the British royal flying corps, was sent to a sanitorium at Battle Creek, Mich., to recuperate from wounds received overseas. To the sanitorium came beautiful Arline Buckley, sixteen, of Memphis, Tenn. They fell" in love, but the parting came too soon for the romance to ripen. She returned home and two years later married a wealthy gentleman named Smiddy of her native town. Three months later he was killed in a duel and she became the possessor of $500,000. In the meantime Stott had married in Nebraska, but failing to find happiness secured a divorce. Recently the young widow met Stott by chance in Mihvnukee. Ten days later they were married.

Police Nab Birdman For "Reckless Driving ft Columbus Dispatch A man was arrested for reckless driving the other day by the officers of Los Angeles, the first of the kind ever made in this country. But wait a minute. The reckless driving consisted of doing stunts in an airplane ip above the city so it was the first time an aviator lias been taken in hand for not running his machine as i it should have been run. TJie authorities held that the ex-! hibition of daring given by the aviator! endangered the lives of people below j for he did all manner of things with the plane, such as looping the loop, making the various dives, and so on. The arrest therefore was in the interest of those on the ground; the offi cers probably would not have ob-i

jocted if the fellow had only killed himself. But the coming of the airplane and it is probably coming faster than many suppose will necessitate rules and regulations and laws pertaining to their operation. The chances are that for the first few years after the privately owned machine comes to be a common matter, the chief danger will be from the people who do reckless driving just as the chief danger of an automobile is now from the fellow in the other car. So we may expect to read often in the future, of aviators being arrested for reckless driving, but the Los Angeles policeman will forever occupy a unique place in that he made the first arrest cf the kind. Genius Has Own Way, Finds Visitor to Fraude (W. H. Mallock, in Harper's Magazine) One morning, during a brief visit to London, I received a note from Mr. Froude, the historian, asking me to come to luncheon, and I duly arrived ft his house, not knowing what awaited me. I presently learned that he was going to introduce me to Carlyle, and as soon as luncheon was over, he walked me off to Clielsa. In a fitting state of awe I found myself at last in the great philosopher's presence. When we entered his drawing room he was stooping over a writing table in the window, and at first I saw nothing but his back, which was covered with a long, shapeless, and extravagantly dirty dressing gown. When he rose to meet us, his manners were as rough as his integument. His welcome to myself was an inarticulate grunt, unmistakably Scotch in its intonation; and his first act was to move across the room to the fireplace and light a "church-warden" pipe by sticking its head between the bars. As 1 watched him perform this rite, I noticed that close to the fender was a pair of very dirty slippers. To me these things and proceedings were so many separate shocks, the result of my reflections being this: If you represent fame, let me represent obscurity, But worse was still to come. It was presently proposed that we should all go out for a walk, and as soon as we were in the open air the philosopher blew his nose in a pair of old woolen gloves. I here saw at once an illustration of ?. chapter in "Sartor Resartus", in which the author denounced what he christened, "The Sect of the Dandies," a described and glorified by BulwerLytton in "Pelhara." Illustration could not go farther.The next very famous man whom I met after this glimpse of Carlyle was a little later at Torquay Lord Lytton himself. He was dining at Chelston Cross, and, owing to some lady's defection, I was actually his nearest neighbor.. I saw in him everything which the spirit of Carlyle hated. I raw in him everything which was then in my opinion admirable. All the arts of appearance, conversation, and demeanor which in Carlyle were aggressively absent were in him exhibited in a manner perhaps even too apparent. I was indeed, despite my reverence for him, faintly conscious myself that his turquoise shirt-stud, set with diamonds was too large, and that his coat would have been in better taste had the cuffs not been of velvet. But it seemed to me that from his eyes, keen, authoritative, and melancholy all the passions, all the intellect, and all the experiences of the world were peering.

Turkish Woman Pays With Wounds for Baring Face (By Associated Press) LONON. May 27 One of the results of the introduction of western European ideas into the near east is the growing habit of abandoning the veil, hitherto an indispensable article of attire for Turkish women. A message from Prizrend, near Monastir, recounts how a Turkish woman of good family decided that she would join the modernist movement by discarding her veil. One of her male relatives thereupon followed her with a revolver, first firing shots to frighten her and when these had no effect he fired in earnest, wound-! ing her seriously and leaving her fori dead in the streets. This story came j to iignt wnen ine woman was treatea in the American Red Cross hospital at Prizrend. Discuss Housing Problem At World House Meeting (By Associated Press) LONDON, June 3.
