TURNED JOKE ON MRS. GOULD
■Occasion When ^Theatrical Manager
Proved Himself Gifted With a
Keen Sense of Humor.
"Mrs. George Gould," said a New
York dramatist, “was a superb actress
before her marriage, and she often en
tertained Augustin Daly, her old man
ager, at Georgian court
“One day ns the Goulds and Daly
were sauntering over the Lakewood
gardens a little group of strangers
-drew timidly near
*' ‘Pardon me, Mrs. Gould,’ said one
of the group, ‘but we have heard so
much about your wonderful hothouses
—will you allow us to visit them?’
Mrs. GouHl nodded towards Daly
mischievously. »
“ ‘Ask him,’ she said.
“ ‘Pardon me, Mr. Gould, but may
we visit your hothouses?’ the stran
ger repeated.
“Daly assumed a grand air.
“ ‘Yes, yes, 'of course you may,’ he
said, ‘and pluck just as many apricots
and peaches as you like.’ ”
His Lapses.
“Nearly every summer I have a silly

IN LINE WITH BOLSHEVISM
Parallel Drawn by H. G. Wells Is
Pretty Good Explanation of Ex

H. G. Wells was discussing bolshe

“It’s too bad,” he said, “for, after
all, the bolsheviks meant well. But
they went too far, you see. That’s
our trouble everywhere. Either we
don’t go far enough, or else we go too
far.
“Like the man In the French res
taurant.
"This poor devil looked at the
French menu, which was Greek to
him, and then he touched an Item
with his finger. The waiter brought
him a plate of soup.
“Well an^l good. His soup finished,
he touched the next Item. The waiter
brought him a second plate of soup.
With a repressed oath he touched the
third item, and a third plate of soup
was set before him.
“In desperation the* he touched the
last item of all.
“The waiter brought him tooth
picks.”
Air Disarmament Completed.
Since January, 1920, the allied com
mission of aeronautical control has
destroyed 14.SOO airplanes, and the
work of disarming Germany in the

handled, some have been turned over
to the allies, but the greater number

LOSES FIGHT
WITH DEATH
But England’s Greatest Fight
er Makes Finest Battle on
Deathbed—Infective Endo
carditis, Causes Surrender.
BY ROBERT J. PREW.
Universal Service Correspondent.
Special Wireless Dispatch. f
London, Aug. 15.—Lord North
cliffe, England's greatest fighter,
made his finest fight on ills deathbed,
and surrendered only at 10:20 Mon
day morning, when he passed away
in his London home, Carlton Gar
dens.
"It was characteristic of the energy
and fortitude of Lord Northcllffe to
put up a great fight with his doc
tors," said Dr. Price. “He was aware
of his grave condition, but refused to
yield to the enemy. He retained con
sciousness almost to the end."
Here’s Price’s Explanation,
The medical statement given by Dr.
Price in explanation of the publish
er’s early end said:
"Lord Northcliffe’s Illness was in
fective or ulcerative endocarditis. It
is probable that this fatal disease be
gan insidiously months ago. In fact
it is not improbable that it started
dupng his recent world tour.
“The trouble made slow progress
a considerable amount of fever, a
progressive weakness with the heart
obviously becoming embarrassed. The
patient's whole being was poisoned
by the germs, multiplying in hl»
blood, and his condition became
steadily worse.
“Infective endocarditis is usually
fatal. Very few patients recover
from it. In Lord Northcliffe’s rase
his extremely strenuous life, together
with his war work, his world tour,
his recent visit to Germany and the
noticeable loss of weight, had done
much to undermine his constitution
and lowered his resistance to such an
extent that the germ (streptococcus)
was able to find way Into the blood
stream. ,
“The germs may extst ordinarily in
the body, but it is easily understand
able that should they find their way
into the blod stream, the condition
presents a very grave problem.
“Every treatment known to medical
science was tried unsuccessfully."
The whole* press of England paid
tribute to the great publisher. His
own newspapers announce faithful
adherence to his policies.
The Viscounty becomes extinct as
there are no children. The widow.
Lady Northcliffe, and his mother,
Mrs. Harmsworth, have been deluged
with worldwide messages of sym
pathy.
Funeral Thursday.
The funeral services will bo held
at Westminster Abbey Thursday with
Interment at Finchley cemetery, Lon
lon, immediately afterward.
Lord Northcliffe’s first serious ill
ness came in June, 1919, when he
underwent an operation for an af
fection of the throat which compelled
him to take a long rest. His world
tour beginning a year ago last July
imposed a severe strain and he re
turned to London last spring notice
ably thinner, though Jie was unaware
then that the end was approaching, as
he planned a tour of South America
for the coming year.
During the summer his health rap
idly declined, but at the end of May
he suddenly left London on a tour of
the Rhineland to write stories and
articles on German conditions. Ho
was fatally stricken in Cologn#, car
ried helpless to a train and removed
to Switzerland, whence his brother,
Lord Rotfiermore, brought him back
to London in mid-June.
Creed of Northcliffe.
“I believe in hard work, but hard
worn in iiul euuugii.
“I believe in travel.
"I believe In independence.
“I believe that halt the Journalistic
notions o£ what the public wants to
read are wrong.”
That was Viscount Northcliffe’s
creed. He became the1 greatest fig
ure in British newspaper history be
cause he always acted on bis beliefs,
thoroughly and with extraordinary
energy.
He worked as hard as any man
could. He traveled whenever possi
ble and as far as possible. Indepen
dence—absolute and often vociferous
—never left him from the time ho
first set foot in a publishing office to
the time of his last campaign against
David Lloyd George. That ills be
lief in what the newspaper reading
public wants was more than an idle
theory he showed by producing news
papers that attained circulation fig
ures far in excess of those of any
other daily publications.
There is no painting or photograph
of Lord Northcliffe in existence that
reflects his personality with ouch fi
delity as did the Dally Mall so long
as he personally controlled it—that
is, from its Inception in 1896, up to
tl.e time of his breakdown, In June
last. The London Times, which ho
controlled for the last 10 yeans of his
life, was not alone Northcliffe’s.
Other hands could be seen at work on
that paper. The Daily Mail bore the |
Northcliffe stamp of Intense vitality
and no other.

Was Armour’s Attorney.
Universal Service.
Chicago, Aug. 16.—Levy Mayer,
wealthiest practicing attorney In the
world, died suddenly Monday. His
valet found him at the window of his
room In the Blacltstono hotel. Death
was dub to appoplexy, physicians de
clared.
Mr. Mayer conducted the fight
against tho constltuyonality of tho
Volstead act and Is said to have re
ceived a fee of $1,000,000 for hand
ling the case for the combined liquor
Interests. At the time of his death
he was negotiating tho Inland-Mld
vale Steel merger, designed as a rival
of tho United States Steel Corpora
tion.
An ardent supporter of Senator
Hiramn W. Johnson for the republi
can presidential nomination In 1920,
Mr. Mayer threw his support to Hard
ing and effected his nomination In
the Chicago convention. Although he
was a personal friend of Gov. Low
den, Mr. Mayer, with political fore
sight, refused to aid the Illinois candi
date, declaring that he had no chance
to be elected.
Among the famous cases In which
Mr. Mayer appeared as counsel were
the Packers' hearings, • the Iroquois
fire and the teamsters' strike. He
was attorney for the Inland Steel
Company, the Erlanger Theatrical
intbrsts and J. Ogden Armour, as well
as the liquor interests.
"Mr. Mayerf felt sincerely that the
eighteenth amendment was a tres
pass on the personal liberties of the
American people," Henry Russell
Plattee, Junior member of Mayer's
law firm, said Monday.
He devoted much of his time to tho
framing of a new constitution for the
state of Illinois.
Mr. Mayer began his legal career
as clerk in the Chicago Law library
at $4 a week and paid for his tuition
at Yale b ywriting for a New Haven
newspaper. He was reputed to be
worth $25,000,000 at the time of his
death.

S. P. Yards.
San Francisco, Aug. 15.—The fruit
Industry of northern California faces
a crisis Monday night as a result of
five trans-continental lines being
blocked by sporadic walkouts of

which would permit the Southern
Pacific to reopen its Ogden and Port
land lines for perishable freight. •
In Stockon another conference is
being held between Western Pacific
officials and brotherhood representa
tives in an attempt to adjust their
differences and permit the resump
tion of trains operated on the West
ern Pacific through its Feather River
Canyon route.
The Santa Fe offices here report
their line to bo hopelessly blocked for
California freight and passengers be

pealed for additional deputies.

MYSTERY
IN MURDER
Attractive Blonde, Her Mur

of Another Man Combine to
Puzzle Lakehurst, N. J.
Universal Service.
Lakehurst, N. J.. Auk. 15.—An at
tractive blonde, her murdered hus
band and theories of another man
combined here Monday night to pre
sent a baffling mystery to the au
thorities of this (pilet little town.
Mrs. William (liberson was arrested
Monday night on a charge of killing
her husband, a wealthy taxi line op
erator. as he lay asleep In his bed
Monday morning. The evidence
against her is circumstantial. A paitr
of scissors, a ball of twine, a napkin
ana a possible motive led to her being
detained.
The village was thrilled Monday
morning when Mrs. Cllberson aroused
the neighborhood with screams for
help. Three railroad detectives rush
ed into the house. To them she tdld
her story.
Hero's Her Story.
"I heard a shot in my husband's
room," she said. "Then I heard a
strange man's gruff voice ask: "What
did you kill him for?' and another an
swered: ‘he was waking up. I take no
chances.’ I rushed into the room. The
two men seized me, bound and gagged
me and fled. They took $300 my hus
band had by the bed.”
Hut prosecutor Jayne doubts her
Btory. After grilling her all day h®
had her charged with murder Mofiday
night.

love with another man and that sho
shot her'husband to clear the way
for marriage to a new flame. Detec
tives are seeking the "other man.'*
Jayne says ho will be arrested soon.
If any strange man was in the Gib
erson house Monday morning, it was
the missing wooer, Jayne says.
"When I questioned Mrs. Giberson
I was not at all Impressed by her '
story," Jayne said Monday night.
"She says she scuffled with two men
In the kitchen. Tho room is not big
enough for three persons to got in,
much less stage a fight.
"Mrs. Giberson says the robbers
took a napkin from the refrigerator
and gaged her. We found five nap
kins had been piled there neatly. Four
of them were still neatly in place. If
robbers had seized them in the dark,
as she says, I do not believe they
would remain so perfectly In place.
“As to the Twine.”
“Then as to the twine she says was
used to fasten her legs, the ball of
twine was found under Glberson's bed
and scissors had been used to cut it.
Robbers don't cut twine with scis
sors."
The arrest did not shake Mrs. Gib
erson’s remarkable complacence. She
stuck to her story. She was not able
to call help, she said, until sho had
worked one hand loose from the
binding and removed the gag from
her mouth.
Giberson drew $700 from a bank.
He planned to go to Philadelphia to
buy a now automobile. The money hr
