12 Tales of Well Known Folk In Social and Official Life (Continued From Eleventh Page.) in China, but which did not reach very far in Washington. But the Tang fam- ily was rich, for she was a younger daughter of the powerful prime minis- ter of the Dowager Empress Tang Shoa Yi, and a handsome allowance was made on her marriage. This charming lady had been educated in England, and was < classmate as well as a cousin of Mme. Alfred Sze, wife of the second Minister | Estimate Is Given by Research sent to Washington by the Chinese re- public, who is now with her family in Tondon. M. Henry Chang's appoint- ment proves that China, though torn with civil strife, is falling into line in naming _diplomats and consuls thor- oughly familiar with their field of ac- | tivity. e Princess Mary of Great Britain, who nclides Countess of Hare: an intimate friend | of King Victor Emmanuel's daughter Yolande, and these are perhaps the Jeading royal ladies who really follow horse racing with a scientific trend. Princess Mary keeps an eye on King George's racing stable, for that mon- arch maintains the national tradition more as a sense of duty to his father rather than by inclination. The Prince of Wales retired from active horse interes during his father'’s illness and his three brothers appear at the Derby and the Ascot more in the social role than as sportsmen. The Earl of Harewood has a handsome fortune and his stables at Knaresborough, in Yorkshire, are entirely under his wife's management. The Harew fortune was acquired | in the thrilling days of pirates along the Spanish Main and through rich piantations_in the Barbados and in | Jamacia. The eldest son of the earl| and his royal wife, Edward Lascell is now entitled to be called Lord La: calles, when before he and his brother George, who rank seventh and eighth in the line of succession to the British throne, were only honorables. Prince: Yolande of Savoy, married to the caval 1y officer, Capt. Calvi de Bergoli, is £0 accurate a judge of horseflesh that her advice is sought by remount officers and her racing tips are highly prized. x X % X Mr. John Plarpont Morgan and many of his associates are members of the board of trustees of Trinity Church, in lower Broadway, and the list reads like a page from the financial directory. Fabulously rich is Trinity Church, and its chronicles are just as rich in hi torical material and in the visible e dence that New York City, chief g way of the Western World, has proved | the open sesame to fortune. King William III sat on the English throne when, on May 6, 1697, a group of citi- zens ot New York who described them- selves as “managers of the affairs of the Church of England in the New World" presented a petition which cov- ers three sheets of parchment and is a treasure of Americana deposited in the British Museum, asking that they be allowed to build and maintain a church on lower Broadway, asking cer- tain special privileges. The petition was granted the same day it was presented and Trinity’s documentary history be- gan on that date, now more than 227 years in the past. Every May 6 Trinity celebrates its birthday by solemn re- ligious services and then a social oc- casion for the lay members. AN Mrs. Elizabeth McQueen of Beverly Hills has been appointed aerial police- woman, and the honor is claimed that B Hills, Calif., that lovely neigh- boring suburb of Hollywood, is the first municipality to name a feminine| guardian of the air in all the history of aviation. Mrs. McQueen has won laurels as a safe and dependable air pilot, al- though she has never attempted stunt flying or tried capers of any sort in the ether or on the ground. All above the capital of filmdom and its surroundings the air is as busy a thoroughfare as the boulevards leading to Los Angeles and toward Mexico, and a vigilant monitress is needed. Mrs. McQueen has given les- #ons in aviation, and she considers that the field opens splendid opportunities for her sex, and her appointment simply blazes the way for many others of a similar nature. She calls attention to the fact that in the recent national air | derby for women alone there were 20 entrants, and that of this number 14 finished the course from Santa Monica to Cleveland and landed safely and with precision. This, she says, i8 the highest percentage ever made of entrants W. B.

FARCHS CHICAGO IS CALLED SHORT ON CRIMINALS | Head to -Chicago Press Club. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, December 14.—Prof. Au-| ust Vollmer, president of e National | ssociation of Police Chiefs, estimates there are 1000000 criminals in the country and that Chicago has less than | its share of them. The former Berkeley, Calif, police chief, who now is head of the police re- search department of the University of Chicago, was addressing the Chicago Press Club. “There are 100,000 legal regulations and 100,000 legal inhibitions affecting every citizen,” Prof. Vollmer said. Prob- ably 1 person out of every 10 has vio- lated one or more of these laws at some time or other, according to Prof. Voll- mer’s expressed belief. He held the failure of lawmakers to | keep abreast of changing conditions re- | sponsible for crime conditions. He said the police forces should be made up of | intelligent en. About 50 per cent of the present police forces, in his opin- ion, have no business being policemen. “If insurance figures are any cri terion.” he added, “Chicago has con- | siderably less crime than other big| citfes. SUICIDE POET’S ASHES TO REST ATOP OLD MILL 1 Crosby's Remains Taken to Sum-| mer Home in France by Widow. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, December 14 —Carrying with her a silver urn containing the ashes of her husband, Mrs. Henry Grew Crosby sailed for France at midnight on the Cunard liner Mauretania. Crosby shot and killed himself and_Mrs. Jose- phine Rotch Bigelow last Tuesday in | what palice said was a suicide pact. Mrs. Crosby said her husband's ashes would be placed on top of an old wind- mill they had converted into & Summer home and which they had christened “Moulin _du Soleil” (“Mill of the | Sun”). She said it was her husband’s favorite spot and that he daily spent hours_there. Crosby, & socially promi- nent Bostonian, had resided in_ France for several years writing and publishing poetry. SURRENDERS.FOR MURDER WASHINGTON, Pa., December 14 (#)—A man who said he was Charles Wurtz, 26, St. Louis, walked into the county jail here last night and, accord- ing to jail attaches, said he wanted to be locked up for murder. He was quoted as declaring he killed his wife, Marie, in St. Louis June 24, 1928. Inquiry by District Attorney Warren S. Burchinal brought a telegram froru St. Louis announcing Wurtz was wanted there for the slaying.
