TOUR OF AMERICA - BYWALES DISTANT May Not Me Possible for Five Years—England Sends Polo Ponies. BY JOHN L. BALDERSO! LONDON, July 26.— Although the Prince of Wales' remark at the Pil- grims’ dinner this week that he hoped to make a “proper tour” of the United States, as distinot from his forthcom- Ing flying trip to sée the polo matches and visit his Canadian ranch, was the expression of a genuine wish, no plans for any such tour have yet been made 6F even considered. At the earliest, such a visit could not take place until after his visit to South Africa next year, and it may not be Possible for another five years. Lord Reading’s term as viceroy of India €nds in the ordinary course of events meéxt year, and it is understood that Aga Khan and other leaders of Indian opinion are keen on the nest viceroy being a member of the royal house. Would Bar Trip. ing George is also known to be de-{ us that his second son should un- dertake responsibilitics as soon as he | is fitted for them. It is, therefore, quite possible that the Duke and Duch- e88 of York may succeed Lord and 14dy Reading in India. In such event | the Prince of Wales wouid not be at Hberty to leave England for any length of time until his brother's return. The ponies of the English polo team, numbering 44, to be quartered in a large hangar ‘on Long Isiand, started for New York yesterday on the steam- ship Minfietonka, accompanied by Col. Meiville as master of horse.

The picture is by Charles Simms. ‘Woman's Art Work Notable. Mrs. Alec Tweedle, whose writings on her worldwide travels are as well known in New York as in London, is| exhibiting a remarkable collection of water color sketches at the Alpine Gal- leetes. ‘The Daily Telegraph art critic says: “‘She has seen San Francisco (look- ing like Windsor Castle) and the en- trance to New York Harbor with a freshness of vision that should impress even an American anxious to =ee home again.” A London crossing sweeper mingled as an invi guest with bearers of many of the proudest names in the British peerage at the wedding Wedne day of Lady Ursula Grosvenor, eidest daughter of the Duke of Westminster, to Capt. Filmersankley of the Ist Life | Guards, one of the most brilliant cvents of the London season. The guests numbered 700. The “beat™ of O'Brien, crossing sweeper, tncluded upper Grosvenor street, in which Grosvenor House, the town mansion of the duke, lies, from Lady Ursula's child- hood to womanhood, and it was her wish that he be invited, together with workmen from the duke's estates in| Sutherlandshire, Cheshire and the south | of France. The wedding, for most of the labor- ers, was the event of their lives, many never having seen London before. After the ceremony they returned to Grosvenor House for the reception An_ interesting fight is promised at the next election for the parliumentary representation of the Ladywood divi- ston of Birmingham, Oswald Mosley, who is married to Marquis Curzon's daughter, having decided to accept an invitation to champion the Socialist cause in that constituency. The pres- ent member is Neville Chamberlain, ehancellor of the exchequer In the late Tory cabinet. {NDIAN BATTLEFIELD UNEARTHED BY FLOOD Bmithsonian Agents Investigate Discovery by Farmer Near Leesburg, Va. By the Associated Press. LEESBURG, Va.. July 26.—Recent flood waters of the Shenandoah River and exceptionally deep plowing by a farmer near here have resulted in the unearthing of what is supposed to Dbe the site of an anclent Indiun bat- tlefield and tribal burial ground. Examination by agents of the Smithsonlan Institution of Washing- ton is said to show that relics of the supposed battlefield would indicate that the combatants in the strugiles were tribes from west of the Ohio River and those living along the Eastern seaboard. Speculation is rifé among persons Hving in_the vicinity of the excava- tions, which were made in Clarke County, adjoining Loudoun County, in_which Leesburg is located. The theory is being advanced that sometime before known history Kins the tribes living in the Wes undertook a raid to wrest from the Eastern tribes the. rich hunting grounds of what is now (he Shenan- doah Valley When the invaders clashed with the Eastern Indians on the banks of the river the former were defeated, 50 the theory runs. At two different places within & short distance of each other groups of skeletons were found, the posi- tions of the bones and the varlous relics indicating by their styles and shapes that they belonged to Eastern and Western tribes. Ono of the skele- tons discovered Is that of a man who in life was 6 feet 7 inches tall. Harry Tritapoe is the farmer whose plow disclosed the bones. RACE TRACK WORK ON.

Palace Built in Bog That Later Was Fashion- able Residence Area. Special Dispatch to The Star. BOSTON, July 26.—Mrs. Jack Gard- ner, once called “the most picturesque woman in America,” died July 17 In her Maltan palace on the Boston Fens with her treasures around her. Her will, read a few days ago, left her great collections of art and the beautiful bullding that houses them to the city. And now Boston is won- derins what life will be like without Mrs. Jack Gardner to spice it. For though age (she was 85) and iliness had long subdued her, yeét so long as #he lived she was to Boston the “Mrs. Juck” of its memory—the “Mrs. Jack” of the masterly judgment in art, of the irhperious temper and of the irrepressible audacities that made her for many years the delight and horror of that sedate and precedent- bound city It was iong. long ago that she first appeared in Boston. She was born isabella Stewart of New York. Her | father, David Stewart, is said to have been worth a million, and was a self-made man. She made her debut here, hut among the many girls who made their bows in the formal society of the 80s she is not particularly re- membered. Daring Only to Boston. Then she became the wife of John Lowell Gardner, son of an old and onservative Boston family, a director of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad and reckoned as one of the city’s richest men. And Bos- ton's edu-ation began forthwith. It should be said at once that most of the “during”™ and “shocking” per- formances that made Mrs. Jack fa- mous weuld not have been ‘“‘daring” in uny city but Boston. That ecity was an invaluable background for Rher soclal methods. Here Iy a list, published when she had become the | acknowledged leader of the city's | =ayer and ‘more independent socicty. under the headline, “The Odd_Doings of an Interesting Woman,” from which it will be seen that it didn't take much to shock Boston: “She wears white stockings be- ;'lu\‘-(\ other fashionable women wear “She hired a box to see Corbett spar. “She started the fad among women of feeline Sandow's muscles. “She raises her own violets in her own conservatory, and is never with- out a bunch of them.

Drank Beer In Public. he goes to the ‘pop’ concerts in Boston and drinks beer in public. he . is the heroine of Marion Crawford's ‘To Leeward.’ “Her latest surprise was to borrow a lion from the Boston zoo and pa- rade with It before the Boston public.” ._As a matter of fact, the most dar- ing thing Mrs. Gardner ever did in Boston was the first thing she did when she opened her drawing rooms to artists, musicians, writers and men of genius in all lines. Hitherto in Back Bay society the only way to get into a drawing room had been to produce proof of several genera- | tions of Puritan ancestry. The Gard- er name and <oclal standing were | s that \rs. Jack's innovation con- stituted a real assault on this chilly ! tradition, and its supporters rallied rigidly its defense. Long after Ber social leadership could no longer be denied it was conceded only with the modification that she was the leader of ‘the smart set,” not of the old Back Bay aristocracy. Helped Many Students. But the trouble was that Mrs. Jack had a remarkable faculty for at- tracting clever ~ and _distinguished people, and her drawing room was so interesting that even those who re. mained outside In protest at “Bohi mianism” could not help looking wistful. To one or the other of her homes for many vears came nearly every distingulshed artist or social celebrity of the period, besides a con- stant stream of talented unknowns whom Mrs. Jack was assisting. Sometimes she had as many as 50 Harvard students on her pay roll at nominal jobs, doing clerical work, cutting the grass and taking care of the grounds to help trem pay thelr way through college, Among the astorted “lions” whom Mrs. Gardner entertained during her long career were Paderewski, Henry Irving, Eilen Terry, Henri Marteau. Paul_Bourget, Sir Charles Wyndham, the De Reszkes, Mohini Mohan Chat. terjl, one of the foundars of the eso- terlc movement, and Carl Lumholts, archeologist and explorer. Maud Howe Elliott, daughter of Mrs. Julla Ward Howe, was a close friend. 8o, too, was the novelist, F. Marion Crawford. "As to the statement that she was the original of a character in his novel, “To Leeward,” there is only internai evidence. One sentence certainly seems to describe Mrs. Jack pretty well: “Her extraordinary vi- tality, when not reduced by reaction to a'state of apathy, was forever seeking an outlet.” Russian Wasx Favorite. Count Roman Ivanovitch Bubof was & meteoric little Russian, who was one of her favorites for & time, There seems to be nothing sul tal on ‘which to base the susp that he had her especially in mind in yriting ‘his ‘book. “Mrs. Harry St. ohn.” With a great love for the artistic and the unusual and plenty of money to gratify it, Mrs. Jack's entertain- ments becamé celebrated. She is said to have been the only woman who ever induced the De Reszkes to ming at a social function. She once hired Carmencita to dance for her friends. She hired the Boston Symphony Or- chestra to perform at her private concerts. One evening rhe took over & Chinese theater—house, cast and all—and had a special performance. One of her niost famous entertain- ments, however, was not given to her personal friends. She enkaged Pade- rewski, at a fee of $1,000, to give a concert, for which she diatributed the tickets’ to teachers, students and music lovers who could not afford to hear him otherwise, She was greedy for new experi- ences, and if they could be uncon- ventional #0 much the better. Sl rode in the cab of a locomotiv studied jiu jitsu. When Sandow, the strong_man, gave an exhibition’ she insisted on ‘going behind the scenes and insnecting his biceps for herself. She had no reverence for the early hours that were the rule in Bosten. She and some of her friends insti. tuted a custom that they called “bachelor birthdays.” Whenever a bachelor of their acquaintance had a anniversary they swooped down upon him about 1 o'clock In the morning and breakfasted and chatted un*il dawn The lion episode has been told in a dosen different ways. The facts seem to be that she was a frequent visitor “to the Boston 200, whose t’qfln bad MRS. JACK GARDNER. instructions 'to telegraph her when- ever there was an addition to any of the animal families. She greatly ad- mired some lion cubs, which she took home with her for a short time, but they scared her servants away, to say nothing of her friends, and so she returned them. One day she wanted to take Rex the head of the lion colony, out of his cage. Rex, being a performing Tton, good-natured and under perfect control, the keepers agreed, and vis- itors to’ the 200 were paralyzed by the slght of Mrs. Gardner holding Rex by the mane and promenading with him around the building. Her commission o Sargent to paint her portrait is sald to have been the beginning of his vogue as a painter of soclety women. The plcture was not so startling but that it hunf in Mr. Gardner's library during his fite- time. The portrait by Anders Zorn, which also gave that artist a shove along the road to fame, was heralded as “daring,” though it merely repre- sented Mrs. Jack as steppinz into a lighted room from an unlighted bal- cony and pushing the doors open h extended arms. The fact was that Mrs. Jack had acquired such a reputation for being shocking that it no longer made any difference what she did—people were hocked anyway. She was the most discussed woman in Boston, perhaps In America. Seats on the left side of the Roston Symphony Music Hall floor for a symphny concert are said once to have brought higher prices than those on the left because it was expected that Mra. Jack would ait on the right side and could be seen from the left side. Was Stronsly Religious. Not the least unexpected of Mrs. Jack's characteristics was her strong religious turn of mind. She was a punctilious attendant at the Church of the Advent, Boston's most ritual- istic Protestant Episcopal church She went annually into “retreat” for prayer and meditation, and one of the | most frequently told stories about her is that during Lent in the 1888 residents near that fashionable church re amazed to see Mrs. Jack's carriage drive up and the great lady herself alight, and upon her knees with brush and pail scrub the steps of the edifice. t one time it was rumored she about to become a Catholic. At another that she had ‘embraced Ba aism. She is knowp to, have. held long con ersaun'r’m with c‘rmler;? oni theosoph: A description of Mrs. Ganner published at the height of her social <%, I8 probably accurate: - rather small. exquisitely pro- portioned woman, with masses of red- dish hair, pale complexion, pale eves, large, rather Scottish features and 1o beauty of face except a quick mo- bility of expression—a woman with a subtle charm in her voice and with unusual vivacity of manner. She dressed well and with much originality. On one occasion she ap- peared at a ball with a little negro page to carry her train. Her husband was her qulet and proud supporter in all her enter- prises. He is deacribed as a grave, matter-of-fact business man, courte- ous but not demonstrative, not par- ticularly intellectual but not dull, fond of going out with his wife, buf more fond of staying at home.'and even more convinced of her brilliance and originality than others were. Inkerited Big Fortanes. In 1891 Mrs. Gardner's father, David tewart, died, leaving her his fortune. he aiso had recelved at various times two or three legacies from friends. and left her sole mistress of his very large estate without the slightest re- striction. What would Mrs. Jack do with her great wealth? The first thing she did after a pe- riod In retirement was to go abroad She had long been an enthusiasttic and discriminating collector of works of art. She bought in Venice an old palazso by Bruneschelll, and brought its facade and some other portions to Boston, where, with many other rare bits of aculpture, mosaics and beau- tiful columns, they were built Into a large house on the Fenway, then far out from the city. on a stretch of peat bog decorated with ash dumps and mudholes. Here, by drainage, she made a little river and a high wall surrounded the whole. Moved fn Secretly. She had been living there two weeks with her servants before it was known that she had moved in. The city refused to connect the build- ing with the lighting system until electricians had been permitted’ to ¢xamine the wirlng, and Mrx Jack declared she would light it with can- dles and kerosene before she would admit any one to inspect the work. This she proceeded to do, but insur- ance companies refused to insure the precious objects in the house under such conditions. Mrn. Jack had been accustomed to having ‘her own way. She had_re- fused to obey a new rule of the Bo ton Symphony concerts, requiring women to take their hats off. She had left a theater In fury, declaring she would never return because she had been efected from seats which she had occupied when she held only tickets for standing room. She had consi-tently fought authority when it interfered with her own ideas, and she had generally won. But she had to surrender and let the city light in- spectors go through her guarded house. The treasures it housed were as- tonishing. There was the Botticelll “Mahonna,” for relling_which Prince Chigl had been arrested and fined by the Italian government; the Giorgione “Christ Bearing the Cross,” had mysteriously disappeared a few years before from the Loschi palace, at Vicensi, and which was one of the works of italian art specified as “ tlonal treasures” and not to be s out of the country: the two most mous Titians in the world, and many other pleces which were the despair of_collectors. It wag inevitable that so vital and attractive a woman should be ex. pected to marrv again. Goasip en- gaged Mre. Jack half a dozen times after her husband's death, but always In vain. Among the men whom it was declared she was about to marry were the late Bourke Cockran of New York and George Proctor, a youns nianist whom " she had assisted. Shortly after the latter rumor was cireulnted Mrs. Jack zave Proctor and the girl of his choice a fine wedding and a house of their own. Many of Mrs. Jack's kindnesses. it ix said, will never be known. but some of har public-spirited actions have benefited many.

That s not all. Dealers say they probably will have none to sell at any season ‘n a few years unless some drastic move is made to protect the female crabs in Winter. In the vicinity of Norfolk crabs, mostly females, are scraped from the bottom of 'the bay and rivers during the entire Winter season, it is stated, for the purpose of fur- nishing crabmeat to dealers in North- ern cities, and It is this practice, dealers contend, that is almost sure to exterminate the species.

Under normal conditions, it is stated, the crabs ghould bring from 75 cents to $1.50 a dozen. ‘One Wintér's rest from the people who drag the bay and rivers and take the crabs from the mud would be of reat benefit,” commented a dealer. here should be a law giving them the protection that certaln fish and game recelve. Winter dredgers take the crabs from the mud, giving them absolutel no chance to thrive and multipl the dealer added. “On numerous oc- casions 1 have seen crabs taken from the mud, piled on decks of boats, the same as oysters, and permitted to freeze solid before being taken to a packing house to be cooked and picked. Most of the crabs taken in the Winter are females.” Government Action Urxed. It was suggested by the deale former resident of lower Virgini that the Federul government shoul enact a law prohibiting the L‘ltn‘hlns of crabs between December 1 an April 1. Only enactment of a strin- gent law, he stated, will afford crabs the protection they need and give consumers the benefit of them at prices that prevalled several years lard crabs have been particularly seurco mer, a the E: mous for its crabbinz industry had to depend upon Potomac crabbers for adequate supplies. Fifty barrels of them were shipped to Hooper's Island, Crisfleld section, two days ago. Hard Crabs Once Very Cheap. Lovers cf hard crabs—and they are numerous—recall the days when 25 cents a dozen was the set price for them. ~Occasionally the market was glutted, and prices went even lower. They also recall the numerous free crab faasts that were furnished-——but that was befors the advent of pro- | hibition, « bs bejn a bait for the | sale of liquid refrexhments. Because of the scarcity of woft crabs, it ig stated, menus of many of e more prominent restaurants in this _and other cities contain no entry of such a delicacy being served.

Special Dixpatch to The Star. BALTIMORE, Md., July 26.—Peach growers of Maryland should sacrifice half of the crop next month to Im- prove quality and production, accord- ing to Prof. S. F. Shaw, horticulturist expert of the KExtension BService of the University of Maryland. An abundant harvest of medium and poor quality peaches or a fair crop of large, good ones is the alternative. According to Prof. Shaw, most or- chards in western Maryland will stand a thinning process. The better price that high grade fruit will bring will more than offset the loss thin- ning will entail. The other advan- tage pointed out in thinning is that next years crop is more likely to Pprove satisfactory if the trees are not overtaxed in maturing the crop this year. “Indications point not only to a large crop throughout the country, but to bumper crops of other frults. Condi- tions in_the Baltimore market al- ready reflect the heavy production of fruits of all kinds and early peaches are selling at prices that usually pre- vail during August when the crop movement {s at its height. “While the peaches now being of- fered lack the quality of the later varities, prices are low, even for ar- rivals that present a good appear- ance.” —_— MARYLAND COUNTIES RECEIVE 200 PHEASANTS Game Officials to “Plant” Whole State With Fowls Before Autumn Season.
