Lffl CONSTANCE
SHOWS BARE LEGS
Titled English Performer Seen in
Classic Costume—Audience
Applauds.
New York, July 29—Lady Con
stance Stewart Richardson, the
exponent of bare-legged dancing,
who some years ago shocked the
feminine half of the English ar-;
istocracy by exhibiting what was
then considered rather daring
“art” for the edification of the
British species of “tired business
man,” made her long-heralded
American debut as a profession
al at Hammers lein's last night,
and in spite of the fact that she
fell “just too nervous for any
thing” at her initial plunge in-'
tn the.two-a-day, as she said af
terward, and that she suffered
from the further handicap of a
small stage, she' got through her
tjiree dances swimmingly, to the
evident delight of the audience,
which worked hard but vainly to
induce an encore on the part ol
the titled hare-limbed dancer,
while files of ushers staggered
up the aisles unuer me uuiueu
of American Beauty roses. Ten
years ago. the art censor of that
liind might hive objected to Lady!
Constance's dance, but last night;
the parti-draped, lithe slimness!
that was Lady Constance seem-;
ed quite cinyentional, at least for!
a classic dancer, New1 York, long?
iu'eustd&lied to bare feet, and aj
step further, was not startled. !
There was a certain sameness!
of method in all three dances,
consisting of much lively pranc-,
ing about the stage, with ripple)
of rhythmic arms and body, var
ied by svelte, plastic pokes sug
gestive -of -the figures' dh those
antique vases that cdhrioisseurs’
treasure. Only, instead of the!
ample white (lowing chitons of
the classic Greek damsels, Lady
Constance was semi-draped in
what looked like scanty dark
green mosquito netting.

Oldtimers Claim Upper Copper is
Best Way—IMo Glaciers or
Bad Rivers.
Gulkana, July 29.—Several
parties left here today en route
to the new Shushana strike in
the upper Tanan’a river section,
and the oldtimers of this section
contend the best route \to the
new diggings is up the Copper
river, as no divides are encoun-*
tered, no glaciers are on the road
from here to Shushana and fur
ther, the route is shorter thaii
via McCarty.
'Between here and the White no
dangerous rivers have t0 b4
crossed and the trail, used by the
early prospectors and Indians,
follows the Copper river to its
head and then drops oyer a small
divide into the Tanana valley.

PEEK KT HER AURA
BEFORE PROPOSING
Lights Radiating From Person to
be Examined Through a
Screen.
Chicago, July 29—Watch fori
the five, reddisli-pink spots in the
human aura—then propose. It is
a ten to one wager that the girl:
will say yes, for just at that par
ticular time the girl will be ex
periencing a rush of affection.
This advice to the love lorn
was gleaned from a lecture by
Dr. Edwin B. Beckwith at Besant
hall.
Of course, the love lorn would
have lo carry a sensitive screen
of dicyanin, possibly a vest
pocket edition, through which he
could gaze a| I he “only girl,”
anyway, according lo Dr. Beck
with, if radiating lines are
straight and pink, that is a sign
of health and a pure and beau
tiful love; (lie five reddish spots
show a rush of affection, and
drooping lines show illness.
in case me nunran glow is
a combination of pink anil yel
low with a light red (seeing red)
color radiating from the head,
then the person is irritable.
A yellowish green luster
Shows lack of mentality and a
regular cubist mixture of colors,
with lightning like dashes ’ of
black, signifies anger. Plain
green is the color of craftiness.
Sells-Floto Agree to Pay Buffalo
Jones That Sum for Captive
Man Monkey;
New York.—The most remark
able contract that was ever made
in the wot*Id was entered into re
cently by Buffalo Jones and
Messrs. Tammen and Hon Ills of
the Sells-Floto circus.
Buffalo Jones is the man who
went to Africa in 1910 and cap
tured alive by means of the lasso
all the big African animals, in
cluding giraffes, rhinoceroses,
lions, zebras, etc. And he is go
ing this fall lo capture a full
grown adult gorilla for Messrs.
Tammen and Bonlils for I he
Sells-Flolo shows. They have
agreed to pay Buffalo Jones the
sum of $250,000 in cash for the
delivery to them in New York in
.-ound, first-class condition, a
full-grown adult gorilla.
There has never beien a mature
gorilla in captivity. They have
been killed and upon one or two
occasions a young gorilla has
been captured but soon died.
It is conceded by naturalists
generally that the only way this
most vicious of all animals can
be captured is by the method em-1
ployed by “Buffalo” Jones, by
roping and tying the animal, cag^
ing it and then bringing it to
(civilization. This is the largest,
sum ever offered for any animal
of/any kind in the history of the
world.

Chicago, July 29.—Twelve
railroads entering (his city have
determined to fight the recent
schedules of freight rates passed
by the Interstate Commerce Com
mission and they will carry the
light through all the court's.
The railroad officials assert
that the low rates mean bank
ruptcy for the roads and will
prevent the extension* of the
lines into neW country.
More than $100,000,000 dam
age was done to the railroads in
the past year by floods which de,
stroyed the big and expensive
isteel bridges along the lines and
also washed out the grades, ac-j
cording to the officers -of the
roads, and no provision is made1;
to allow the road to recilperatq
from these losses.

MUST RECOGNIZE
RUERTA SOON
Asserts Ambassador Henry L_
Wilson—President Wilson
Objects.
Washington, D. C., July 29._
Ambassador Henry Lane Wilson
again urged the State department
to recognize Provisional Presi
dent Huerta of Mexico, claiming
that it i« necessary to do so or
Americans r.|!d foreigners in the
republic will be murdered, their
property destroyed and a con
dition of anarchy will prevail.
President Wilson is unwilling
to give I lie murderer of Madero
any recognition and prefers to
force the Mexicas In protect
Americans and foreigners by fear
of the intervention which will
surely follow any attempt to in
jure foreigners in (he republic.
me M't'acht'i'y ol <■ t*n. lluerta,
who was on the staff of Presi
dent Madero and then betrayed
his chief to (Jen. Ilia/ and later
caused his murder along with the
murder of Gustavo Madero and
the vice-president, anti who has
since that time continued the
murders of men who refuse to
aid his administration, has caus
ed the president |n refuse to give
to the provisional administration
that recognition which they de
sire.
Ambassador Wilson, however,
claims that Huerta government is
the only one lhat ican bring or
der m Mexico and that the lives
ami property of Americans ana
foreigners must be protected.
Close scrutiny of the deeds of
the Mexicans will do no good and
farther, they are all alike and
whoever succeeds. Huerta will do
as he is doing.
Alfred Clark will leave in the
morning for the strike on the
Shushana.
