statement early in September that
Japan is considering the establish

The bullet entered Larson's left

O. R. Farsworth, a fellow roomer,
was present when the shooting oc
curred, but was not an eye witness.
"Larson shot himself accidentally. I
think," said Farnsworth, last night.
"He was examining the gun and
asking me if I would sell it to him.
He was about to say something
when the gun went off. I heard
him say.'Td like to ' just before
I heard the shot. That was as far
as he got. He fell to the floor un

has been uncovered through an
intercepted letter to Mrs. Irene In
vals, young divorcee of San Fran
Cisco. Royce, before turning burglar, oc
cupied pulpits in Nebraska, Okla

Royce's wife secured an 'uncon
tested divorce on grounds of de
sertion. As details of one unhappy
romance were pieced,, together a
second was revealed when ; Royce
was found to have sent expensive
gifts of feminine finery to Mrs. In

to turn over to the police, but her
faith is unshaken.
Still Loves Him. v -
"I still love him and just won't
believe it," she exclaimed when in
formed of the arrest in Los An
geles. Their friendship had its inception
in the holy cloisters of a San Fran
cisco church, where they met at
service a year ago.
A suave ana cultured cdllege
graduate and ordained minister,
Royce paid court to Mrs. Invals,
who is now' awaiting her final; di

2-year-old girl by the marriage.
Eight weeks ago Royce left San

Then followed a flood of gifts oi

The jailed minister, in the letter
to Mrs. Invals, said he was virtually
forced into the life of crime by
poverty and sickness. With him in
prison is his nephew, Kenneth Mof

accomplice.
Royce's letter of confession and
love follows:
"Dear Irene: Inclosed clipping is
self-explanatory. All, of course,
must be off between us. You can
not marry an ex-convict or jailbird.

Song Birds Excited. ' '
The Union station was 'soon hum

Many of the singers do not speak
English. Myrna Shadow, the
charming contralto who will sing
an important part in "The Masksd

several of the principals and the re
porter. There was Alessandro Dolci,
the handsome tenor of "Aida," who

Russian baritone of "The Masked

but on which he kept a watchful
eye.
The taxicabs arrived and out the

No Interest in Politics.
After being raised to the peerage,
Viscount Astor never took any ap
parent interest in the political phase
of bis position. It is not recalled
that he ever spoke in the lords or
appeared there as a legislator. a
For some years he wielded polit
ical influence through his ownership
of the Pall Mall Gazette, once a
powerful afternoon paper, "and the
Observer, a leading Sunday paper.
The Pall Mall Gazette had been a
Jiberal organ until Mr. Astor bought
it. Mr. Astor announced his purpose
of making the Pall Mall Gazette a
conservative organ, whereupon . the
editorial staff resigned and started
,the Westminster Gazette.
Mr. Astor also conducted the Pall
Mall Magazine for some years, as a
sort of magazine de luxe. The ex
pense was heavy, but it was used as
a vehicle for the gratification of his
own literary tastes, he being a con
tributor of numerous articles, mostly
fiction.
After the beeinnine of the war Mr.
Astor gave uo his London residence
and spent most of his time in the
country at Hever Castle and on his
magnificent Cliveden estate on the
banks of the Thames. A year ago he
took a house at Brighton.
