He has a robust constitution and a love for the hustings that will take him far. Naturally he is expected to dwell with some regularity and no little personal pride upon the record he made as “prosecutor” in the Daugherty in- vestigation.

The Daugherty investigation became free-f Il mud-slinging with no one immune, and its course vas directed almost wholly by Sen- ator Wheeler, recognized as a Demo- crat in name only, and by Senator Brookhart of Towa, a follower of ator La Follette. Re nomines have paign imme and is spect. a contest, Brookhart Disappointing. The La Follette managers are somewhat disappointed that Senator Brookhart has announced his inten- Uon of remaining squarely on the fence and doing, nothing to assist either President Coolidge or Senator La Follette. This is virtually a vie- | tory for the regular Republicans, for they never expected any aid from Senator Brookhart, despite the fact at he has been nominated as a egular.” Therefore if Senator Brook- hart gives neither aid nor comfort to the enemy La Follette, the Cool- idee have scored what may prove a decisive victory in the State where “the tall corn grows.” Some | of the independents have gone so far as to predict that La Follette and Wheeler would carry lowa. They Dbased this belief on the victory of Brookhart in the primaries and said it evidenced a resentment in the State which would be felt by the Re- publicans. Now that Brookhart h: decided to confine himself to “issues” and not to men, much of the supposed La Follctte strength has vanished in_thin air. Senator La Follette will issue many statements during the campaign and dircet the fight so far as his strength will permit. But he will not be able to_stump the country, as Roosevelt did in 1912, and the expectation that his candidacy would arouse as mucll interest as the third party movement that year will have to be whittled down ' accordingly. ~However, it is troublesome enough as it i8 to the two old partics.

Reynolds, one time secre- tary of the Republican national com- mittee, in charge. Mr. Reynolds was the original Coolidge-for-President man in 1920 and sought to put him over at Chicago, being content, of course, when the convention turned to the Massachusetts executive for Vice President. The fact that the Republican cam- paign plans are progressing rapidly without any outward evidence that C. Bascom Slemp, Secretary to the Pres- ident, is to have an active part in the fight, has led to further gossip here that the strained relations between Mr. Slemp and National Chairman Butler have shown no signs of heal- ing and that Mr. Slemp is being held to his job_at the White House only by the pérsonal persuasion of the President. White House spokesmen still insist, however, that all is se- rene, In Weds in London. | Loss MISS ALICE MURIEL ASTOR, Daughter of Lady Ribblexdale and the Iate Col.

THE EARING ON EMIR STATUS DELAYED Seid Zerdecheno, Asserted Ruler of Kurdestan, Hopes to Make Bond. H Seid Zerdecheno, who claims as the ir of Kurdestan to have absolute a1- thority over several millions of people and to have vast wealth in his Asiatic dominions, appeared before immigration officials at the District Jail today in a hearing scheduled to develop facts in connection with the contention of the Labor Department that he is likely to become a public charge. Zerdecheno, who claimed the right to be represented by counsel at proceedings on his authority to enter the United States, notified the immigration inspec- tors, Leo B. Russell and William John- son, that he would have an attorney to represent him Monday afternoon. The hearing was postponed until 2:30 o'clock Monday.

Although his body is still behind the bars of the District jail, Zer- decheno insists that his soul soars far from the prosaic surroundings of his present quarters. Dressed in a natty gray suit, the same suit he wore when arrested, but neatly pressed, Zerdecheno asserted that ter’ men than he had been per- secuted and thrown into jail because of a misunderstanding. For he insists that his arrest and incarceration in a jail is all a m ke that will be ironed out in time if he had ever lived in Ch cago, where a New York pa; claimed he had been employed & pants presser, he denied he ha had a residence in that cit insisting that he is the ruler Kurdestan Praises District Jail.

He said he had been treated very well at the District jail, “as well as_might be expected in such a place,” and alluded to Maj. Peake superintendent of the jail, as a “gen- tleman.” Zerdecheno is declared to be the natty former naval officer who ac- companied the Princess Fatima to Washington in_ 1921, when she was introduced to President Harding at the White House wearing a larg diamond in her nose.

LONDON, July 25.— Americans walked, talked and took tea with King George, Queen Mary and the Prince of Wales in royalty’s back vard, so to speak, when the pleasant srounds to the rear of Buckingham Palace were thrown open yesterday afternoon to 3,000 invited guests, most of whom were American law- yers. It was the first royal garden party ever given in honor of Americans and more citizens of the United States passed through the palace portals yesterday than during the past dec- ade. Behind the severe forbidding front of the biz building which faces the mall they found little of the ceremony usually associated with royalty. Their majesties with the Prince of Wales at_their heels like a dutiful son, and accompanied by their ladles and gentlemen in waiting, came out of the palace in a shower of rain to find their guests lined up under um- brellas along the winding path through the grounds.

What are known as “the slaughter houses case,” in which more than $5,000,000 of property used as abat- toirs 'and slaughter houses in the District of Columbia was the issue, and which was settled April 9, 14 by Judge Robert Hardison in favor of the defendant owners, again took a place on the court's docket today under new informations. The case held over until October 1. The new informations will require going over all the evidence and argu- ments brought out the original trial The defendants contend that the regulation prohibiting the establish- ment and operation of abattoirs and slaughter houses in the fire limits of the District of Columbia is un- reasonable and confiscatory class legislation.

But the Prince of Wales was not the only guest with a jaunty top hat. All of the Americans had them, and had all the rest of the sartorial ef- fe traditionally assoclated with royal garden fetes. The king had specially informed the guests that it would not be necessary to comply with the palace custom in regard to dress, for he realized that many of them had come to England not ex- pecting to participate in formal social functions. Nevertheless the Ameri- cans attended In style. They bought borrowed or hired London's stock of high silk hats. In all of the demo- cratic company from overseas there was but one lone straw hat.

Queen Mary wore an embroidered velvet cloak trimmed with white fox, and she carried a long white walking stick.

After refreshments their majesties gave a further indication that they knew something about Americans by shak- ing hands with every one who wanted to meet them, and from the length of the line of people who lined up and kept their majesties out of doors until nearly dinner time it seemed that nearly everybody wanted to.

SHI erica’s Aali?road Sel‘v €S Washington HE first Railroad to enter Washington, the Baltimore & Ohio, has for 89 years been closely allied with the ac- tivities and growth of the Nation's Capital City—and contributing largely to that growth. Over its 5,000 miles of road come each year many thousands of patriotic Americans to view their capital. Traversing the most densely populated section of the country, the Baltimore & Ohio connects Washington with the great metropolitan cities of New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore on the east, and Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Detroit, Chicago, Cincinnati, Louis- ville and St. Louis on the west. We trust these facts—supported by the maintenance of mod- ern service providing every facility for comfortable and de- pendable travel-—will warrant the continued support and patronage of Washington’s people and visitors.
