The method of handicapping is giving
general satisfaction and lovers of the
game are taking great interest. As
usual in all tournaments the best
players “fell off” at the start from
their customary play. To date the

From now on the games will in
crease in interest and the total aver
age of each player will be watched
closely. This average will change
from day to day and it will only be a
short time until the possible winners
in each class and the probable contes
tants for the grand final will begin to
“shows.” So far everyone seems to be
so evenly handicapped that it may
well turn out that the winner will be
only decided at the last game of each
class.
WASHERWOMAN SAYS SHE WAS
BRITISH SOCIETY WOMEN
(Special to Gateway by United Press)
MINNEAPOLIS, March 4. — When
British government authorities came
here today to seek Mrs. G. Lasher,
the former British society women and
accepted habitue of nobility circles,
who was taking in washings here,
they found her and her daughter,
graduate of St. Mary’s, vanished.
Mrs. Lasher’s decline has been
gradual. She is the daughter of the
mayor of an English town, she said,
and widow of a British army officer.
In London, she, Lady Somerset and
Princess Beatrice did scial work to
gether.
Upon the death of her husband,
Mrs. Lasher discovered that she had
no funds. Her husband’s estate was
tied up by British litigation. Mem
bers of the British nobility took her
children. She came to Canada, thence
into the States.' Her eldest daughter
found mother ties strongest and left
her life of luxury to join her mother
at the wash tub here.
, British authorities, it is said, need
Mrs. Lasher’s signature to complete
certain land deals, out of which she
would get nothing. Fear that sign
ing such papers would lead to other
“complications”, which she declines to
discuss, she has evaded officers. In
Seattle they sought her, but she don
ned working clothes and watched the
Britishers’ frantic efforts to find her.
Her appearance had been materially
changed by her experiences. Publica
tion of her story by a newspaper here
brought authorities who found only
i the house from which she had moved.
