LONDON, August 28.—London's most famous old-time music hall, the Oxford, on Oxford street, is falling be- fore the blows of wrecking crews, and theatergoers of the ninetles are la- menting the passing of the house where Marie Lloyd, Dan Leno, Vesta Tilley, Bessie Bellwood, Harry Lauder, Harry Randall and other varfety stars' won their greatest triumphs. The Oxford had recently been the home of stock productions and the last play given in it was “A Royal Divorce.” Celluloid actors will soon be appearing in a theater on this site. Mary Pickford will replace Vesta Vic- toria of “Waiting at the Church” fame, who is one of the few music celebrities of 30 yvears ago who are still holding their own on the variety stage in competition with jazz band Charleston dancers and coon shouters. | Like Harry Lauder, Vesta Victoria seems to go on forever. its beautiful stairway, up and down which went the generations of the Thomas family after their cradle days.

The clock had come over from England. The original Thomas owned 20,000 acres of land, and the furniture and antiques show him to have been a man of wealth in the colonies.

PARIS, August 28.—The tide of American tourists that flowed into France this Summer is estimated as the greatest ever known and many conjectures have been made of the gold which these visitors left in this country. A basis of estimate is to be had in a report just ued by the French Touring A ation, which says 220,000 Americans visited France in the calendar year of 1925 and spent $226,160,000. That sum fig- ured at the average rate of exchange for this year would amount almost CASINO PROFITS GAIN. Hotel Also Has 275 Per Cent Divi- dend, Compared to Mere 180.

VAN BUREN, Ark., August 28.— Swathed with bandages and stained with blood from the wounds received when they were captured today, the young Kimes brothers, held tonight in the Crawford County jail, deplored the death of Deput Chuculate, whom the ot in a gun battle preceding their capture, and declared their innocence of any con- nection with the robbery of four Okla homa banks with which they are charged. They were captured at the home ot Y, S| 5 miles north. west of Ru Sheriff Maxey of Crawford Lee Pollock, Oklahoma City, of the Oklahoma State constabulary, and A. B. Cooper, pri- vate detective. Surrender After Fight. The trio was in wait for the boys when they approached the house. A gun fight took place and after Mat- thew Kimes had been shot in the right shoulder and George Kimes had been peppered with buckshot, they surrendered. The Kimes hes day Johnston of & were brought to jail ght. Sheriff John "E. equoyah County, Okla., said they will not be returned to the Sallisaw fail at present, because of the high feeling against them. While the bovs lold the story of their 14-hour flight, Oklahoma offi- cers were attempting to discover the connection of their relatives with the Oklahoma bank robberies. In J. W. Higgs, Muskogee, officers believe they have a tnird bandit. Four men looted the two banks at Coving- ton, Okla., of about $10,000 Wednes- day. Higgs is the brother-indaw of the Kimes boys. Sacks marked with the name of a Covington bank were found in the landau abandoned by the boys near Sallisaw, after a battle with officers in which Chuculate re- celved his fatal wounds. No money was found on the boys when they' were captured, although l“hie‘f of Police J. C. Woll of Sallisaw, kidnaped by the boys after the Salli- saw battle and forced to ride with them as far as Untontown, said one of the Kimes boys had his shirt stuff- ed with currency. Fit Description. Matthew and George W. Kimes fit the description of two of four bandits looting the Covington bank. Higgs answers the description of another bandit described by bank officials. In addition to the robbery of the Covington State Bank and the Na- tional Bank of Covington, the youths are charged with entering the Farm- ers’ National Bank of Beggs August 25 and taking $4.680. Three partici- pated in this robbery, and it is be- lieved there might have been a fourth man.

As the time for the selection of a new president of the National Aero- nautic Association has narrowed down to 12 days, lines are being drfawn and sides are forming for a concerted hattle surrounding the candidacy of William Mitchell, former Army air colonel, for the head of the organization whose slogan is ‘Make America First in the Air.” Efforts are being made to line up the delegates who will assemble in Philadelphia_September 9, as repre- sentatives of the 5,300 members of the association scattered throughout tho country. Interested persons in Washington declare no indication of the success or failure of the drive to make Mitchell the head of organization can be gleaned from the membership at large until the delegates assemble. The Mitchell forces, however, declare at least 75 per cent of the representatives have agreed to vote for the former Army airman. The air crusader's statement to newspaper men following his address before the Loval Knights of the Round Table Friday. that “if we can rehabilitate the National Aeronautic Association we will: if not, we will | get another one,” is interpreted here | as meaning if he is defeated for the presidency, he will assume command of the United States Air Force As- | sociation, and battle for supremacy. This latter organization declared to possess a membership of 7,000, al- though no dues are required, and each member s eed to support | Mitchell's plan for a department of national defense and a unified air force. Mitchell Explains Aims. Col. Mitchell's explanation of the existence of such an organization is set forth in his public statement which announced unequivocally his candi for office: “American aeronautical thought leads the world, but it is unorganized and without expression. A definite society is necessary around which this thought may rally and find ex pression. There must be an organ ized campaign of education through- out our great country to teach the people the tremendous advantages that we may derive from aeronautics. “This society must have a board of executives of such standing before the country at large that their public atements will carry weight and in | which the people andg Congress will have confidence. | “I have been pushing the campaign | for aeronautics in the past largely on my own responsibility and with the istance, devoted in the extreme, of those, actuated by patriotic motives alone, who voluntarily came forward | to aid. Foresees Big Expansion. “Now in order to further develop this tremendous force of the future we need the support of all the think ing people of the country. | “There is no reason why passen- gers should not be carried from one | of our coasts to the other within the | span ¢ ingle day, to Europe in the same time and to the centers of populations of Asia in a little more. To do these things the people must be directly Interested and assist. “Richard Byrd enlisted the aid of Mr. Rockefeller, Mr. Ford, Mr. Hoyt and several others and then accom- plished the conquest of the North Pole by air. When he returned and the expedition had incurred debts be- vond its resources Rodman Wana- maker came forward and settled them. It wa not our governmental agencies that did ‘this but the enter- prise of our far-seeing citizens."” First concrete opposition to Col. Mitchell's aspirations to the National | Aeronautic Assoclation presidency was _expressed Thursday night by Charles L. Lawrence, retiring presi- dent.of the Aeronautical Chamber of | Commerce, who declared: Opposed to Army Man. | I understand a former general in the Army is seeking to become the head of a clvilian aeronautical or- | ganization. I want to say that the | Aeronautical Chamber of Commerce | and the aircraft industry opposes this {move and will fight it to the limit.” To this statement Col. Mitchell re- plied: “That doesn't bother me." No candidate to succeed Godfrey L. Cabot, now completing his second term, has been brought forward and in the absence of all officlals of the ociation here, it is not known whether Mr. Cabot will again be a candidate to succeed himself. The name of Lieut. Byrd was advanced in some quarters and reached Col. Mitchell when he was vacationing in Maine. According to press reports reaching here, Byrd was characterized by Mitchell as be- ing a representative of the Navy for the position. When asked if he would run for the office, Lieut. Comdr. Byrd declared he was not a candidate and would not be as long as he is in the Navy. Two “dark horses” of such extreme- 1y shady color that the subjects them- selves do not know they are under consideration, are being discussed about Washington as opponents of | Mitchell. The only name thus far advanced is Hollingshead Taylor of Philadelphia, who, it is understood, was under consideration for the posi- | tion of Assistant Secretary of Com- merce for Air at one time. Mr. Tay- lor has been identified with aeronau- tical matters in Philadelphia for a number of years. DEAUVILLE SETS NEW STYLES IN HEADWEAR Richest Materials Imagination of Hat Makers Can Conceive Are Seen at Casino. By the Associated Press. PARIS, August 28.—Most of the hats at Deauville are of velvet, made so flexible that if they were crumpled up like a handkerchief they would come to no harm, but would imme- diately return to their former shape. Many of them make up for the al- almost masculine plainness of their shape by pretty details, insertions and very small embroidery. The richest materials that the imag- ination of modern makers can con- ceive are to be seen at the Casino. “Bengalor,” into which gold, silver and copper are worked, covers the wearer with streaks of light. -ani- dor,” another metallic material, shows numerous shades of the same color. “Constellador” recalls the constella- tions of the Southern Hemisphere. “Luminador,” as the name indicates, suggests brilliancy, and the list fs not exhausted, for equally beautiful materials are being brought out al- most daily.

Saturday, October 9, at 8:45 p.m.—A program played by the Flonzaley Quartet. A treasured addition to the collec- tlon of manuscripts of famous com- posers in the music division of the Library of Congress has been made this month by the purchase of an original score of Claude Archille De- bussy, the second manuscript of this celebrated Frenchman now in the United States. It has been placed on exhibition in a glass case in the music division. Written in Fine Hand. The manuscript is the score of one of Debussy’'s nocturnes. It is written throughout in a fine, almost feminine hand and consists of three parts, “Nuages,” “Fetes and “Sirenes. The score is written on one side of 22 detached follo sheets and at the end of the last sheet is the date, “Vendredi (Friday) 15 Decembre, '99, 3 h. du matin” (at 3 o'clock in the morning). On the outside cover the period of composition is given as 1897-1899. The first page of the music con- tains a note in Debussy’s handwriting (in French) dedicating the manuscript to his wife as a New Year gift, Janu- ary 1, 1901. i The collection now contains manu- seript scores of Haydn, Mozart, Bee- thoven, Von Weber, Schubert, Chopin, Handel, Bach, Meyerbeer, Rubinstein, Mendelssohn, Bartholdy, Massene Gounod, Liszt, Rossini, Wagner, Brahms, Schumann, Saint-Saens, as well as nearly all the American com- posers.
