    Chop Stiey Is
American Dish,
Layman Says
1
Presbyterian Missionary to
Speak at Synod
Here, Oc
tober 20.
During my long residence in Chinn
T searched diligently foi^the delecta
ble dish known as chop suey, but I
did not discover it there.
Thus Gilbert Lovell, Presbyterian
missionary, punctures the American
idea that chop suey is a Chinese dish.
Mr. Lovell returned to the United
States on aucount of his ill health.
He speak* at the synod of Neliraskn
at Omaha October 20.
A graduate of Yale, Mr. Lovell talks
Chinese like a nutive, and is one of
the most popular speakers sent out
by the Presbyterian board of Chris
tian education. He has taught dozens
of classes in summer conferences.
The Presbyterian board of' chric
tian education was organized recently
from five educational elements of the
Presbyterian denomination. It has
tinder its Jurisdiction the Activities of
30,000 Sunday-schools, 60 colleges and
training schools, 12 theological senit
naries, and the work of 60 pastors at
«s many state universities.
“PERFECT LOVE”
IS BACK AT DESK
Chicago, Oct. 11.—Frederick W.
• Hart, the "other man,” in the now
famous Hall-Quest "perfect love"
case, returned to his desk" in a Chi
cago ofifee today pending the re
moval of the last obstruction to mar
riage to Mrs. Shirley Iva Knox Hall

Cincinnati courts to his wife.
Mrs. 'Hali-Quest is in hiding and,
Major Hart said, he had not seen
her since soon after they hurriedly
left an Evanston hotel, last Tuesday
following the divorce obtained by
Hall-Quest on Monday. Nor does he
expect to see iier until after Mrs.
Hart has obtained her divorce, he in
dicated.
"No one has a right to know where
Mrs. Hall-Quest is now,” he said.
"The pybllc should realize that a
Woman qlways is to be shielded and
should never be humiliated in a.situa
tlorv like this.
"She is well, but, of course, she is
suffering severe mental agony, I do
not know exactly where she is—but
l can easily find out."
Hart, a short, slightly built Eng
lishman and former officer In the
English army, is about 43 years old.
His dark hair, tinged with gray, is
thinning.

Omaha Office Walls Are Galleries
of Pidtures of Notables; Wilson,
Roosevelt, McAdoo, Taft in Groups
Browsing through offices of Omaha
professional Inen reveals some Inter
esting photographic and autographic
wall decorations.
The law offices of Howard and Mal
colm Baldridge offer considerable ma
terial of interest to tlfe visitor ns well
as to the owners. A framed letter
from President Theodore Roosevelt
rends:
“I thank you for the telegram. Of
the two boys whom you were with
that day, one has been killed and one
badly crippled In the fighting In
France.”
A photograph of the United States
supreme court justices, showing Wil
liam Howard Taft In center of the
front row, bears this Inscription:
"Dear Mac—With best wishes. Wm.
H. Taft.” The former president form
ed several lasting friendship* during
his various visits to Omaha. Gould
Dietz has a framed not# from Taft
on his wall.
About a year ago Dietz was In
Washington and entered the supreme
court while It was In session. He
quietly occupied a rear seat and ob
served Taft espying him with a
glance which seemed to break
through the Judicial dignity. An at
tache of the court handed Dietz a
penciled note which contained an In
qulry as to what the Omahan thought
of his friend In the robes of office.
Another photograph Is of the fa
mous Philadelphia lawyer, Brewster,
who was attorney general of the
United .States under President Arthur.
When Howard Baldridge was embark
ing on his career ns a lawyer h# ap
plied at Brewster's office for a posi
tion. Learning that the applicant
was a son of his old friend, Malcolm
Baldridge, Brewster engaged the
youth and gave him a start.
Picture Shows Notable Group.
A group photograph In the office
of Malcolm Baldridge shows the mem
hers of his cluh at Yale. One of the
group Is Truhee Davison, son of II.
P. Davison who was head of the
Morgan honks and also head of the
American Red Cross. Others of the
group ore Lester Armour, son of
Philip Armour and now In Armour
headquarters at Chicago; Robert Lov
ett, son of Judge Isivett, chairman of
the board of directors of the Union
Pacific railroad; John D. Farwell, Jr.,
of the Farwell wholesale merchan
dising company, Chicago; Newell Gar
field, grandson of President James A.
Garfield; Curtis Smith, son of Gov
ernor Smith of Vermont.
On the Baldridge office walls Is s
photographic reproduction of an old
tintype of Abraham Lincoln, said to
lie the only picture of Lincoln smil
ing. This reproduction Is No. 55 of
a series of 150 copies.
There Is an autographed photo*
graph of Cardinal Gibbons, signed
"James Card Gibbons." Howard Bald
ridge went to Ireland for the cardinal
In -connection with the Walsh estate
In Nebraska. Another photograph
prized by Howard Baldwin shows a
Yale Harvard football game, attqpded
by 90,000 people. His son, Malcolm,
was In the contest.
Mayor J. C. ‘Dahlman’s office has
the appearance of a small art gallery.
A photograph of unusual clearness
shows the mayor in an automobile
with Joseph Hayden, J. D. (Dad)
Weaver, Bill MeCune and Col. W. F.
Cody. Only the mayor and MrOune
of the party survive. Another photo
shows the mayor handing a key of
the city to Woodrow Wilson In front
of the city hall.
Three pictures show the mayor in
various positions on a row pony, one
being a picture record of how he
ropes a steer. Recently at Fremont
the mayor surprised a crowd by
"flopping’’ a steer on the first throw
of the rope. The mayor of Tekamah
wrote the mayor last week, asking
him to visit the Burt county metropo
lis and give (he populace a demonstra
tion of how he can catch cows.
An unusual photograph of W. G.
McAdoo with a group of Omaha men
shows the former secretary of the
treasury's face wreathed with a broad
smile and his head tilted back as If
he saw the aerial mall coming In with
a pay check for himself from Wash
ington.
The mayor cherishes photographs
of Jack and Jim, his grandsons. A
decade or more ago the mention of
the Jacks and Jims would almost
start a riot among the democrats of
Omaha. The Jims were the mem
bers of the Dahlman democracy and
the Jacks were members of the Jack
sonian club brand of democracy.
