Some time ago ‘it was stated in court that Mrs. Lowry, who is the ‘widow of Robert Lowry, the son of @ wealthy family of Chester Hill, Mount Vernon, desired to marry Diller, Justice Morschauser held that tf she did become the wife of Diller, she could not have the custody of her daughter and visits of the child to her home must cease. or for a Cynthia, who is heiress to $25,000, fs now in the care of her grand- mother, Mrs. Mary B. Lowry of Claremont Avenue, Mount Vernon. In his opinion, Justice Morschauser says: “The marriage of Elsie Lowry with Willer with vis.tations to Cynthia ~owry at week ends would cause the child to come in contact with him, If this was allowed, sooner or later, an application by Elsie Lowry would be made to take Cynthia from the home xly of her grandmother, Mrs. Lowry. 1 believe I properly disposed of this case and that the and welfare of the child andmother.” Clinton Taylor, who appeared for the grandmother, showed that Diller had two children and that his wife obtained a divorce from him January Justice Morschauser continuing his decision : “Mrs. Mary B.

PARIS, May 4 RANCE to-day began a two- day observance «f the cen- tenary of the death of Na- poleon, At 5.49 o'clock Thursday afternoon a salvo of artillery at the Invalides will mark the pass ing of a century since the death of the great warrior and will close the exercises, A momorial service was held early to-day in Notre Dame Cathedral. The chief feature of to-morrow's exercises will be a military cere- mony at the Arc de Triomphe. ‘Troops of the republic will pass in review before President Millerand and will salute the monument of Bonaparte. The concluding cere- mony will be the granting of solemn absolution by Cardinal Dubois in the Chapel of the Inva- lides, adjoining the tomb of Na- poleon, On this occasion, Marshal Foch, Commander of the mighti- est host in the world’s history, will do homage to the little Cor+ sican, “Similar ceremonies were planned throughout France and at Waterloo, St. Helena and Ajaccio, Napoleon's birthplace, ‘The observance of the centen- ary, however, appeared to nave little appeal for the general pub- lic, as the Napoleonic era has been dwarfed by the events of the past few years. JAMESTOWN, Island of St. Helena, May 4.—Observance of the hundredth anniversary of Na- poleon's death recalls the fact that there are still three residents eye-witnesses of the Emperor's stay here, Two of them have reached the age of 170 years and are silent concerning their acquaintance with the great soldier, The other, just a little over 120 years old, still repeats from time to time the name of “General Bonaparte.” The first two are huge tortoises which shamble in the pond of the superb park surrounding Planta- tion House, while the other is a little old gray parrot belonging to IMPATIENCE OVER | POSTMASTER JOBS Republican Spoilsmen Feel the Time Has Come to Pass Out the Positions. (From @ Staff Cormamondent of The Erening Work.) WASHINGTON, May 4.—Impatience is being felt by Republican spoilsmen at the failure of the Administration ‘to abrogate Persident Wilson's executive order putting postmasters under the civil service. They don't understand what has happened at the other end of | Pennsylvania Avenue, and may break cut in lively criticism {f something is not done. Two weeks ago the word was passed around that Postmaster-General Hayw was ready to act. He had made up his mipd, it is said, to keep postmasters partly under the civil service. In effect it would sustain the attitude of the for- mer Administration while seeking to placate the spoilsmen. They, however, wanted a complete ousting of all Der o- cratic postmasters and the putting in of Republicans. It is probable that the Hays re mendations struck a snag at the White House when the President, s please all, failed to concur in Hays had done. ‘The situation is embarrassing for Re- publicans who wanted to put their favorites in office as well as for those who advised that the ciyil service be retained, One Republican, Representative Will- eking to vhat Mr fams of Illi told the house that his ty had 7,000,000 majority and that he was tire the civil service as to Postmasters, ieee ANASTASIA LEAVES ATHENS FOR PARIS Former Mrs. Leeds, on Way to Hospital, Bid Farewell by Royal Family. .
