LONDON, Mar. 13—A talkative lady's maid took witness stand in brief session of Dennistoun suit today and injected interest into the proceedings when legal consideratians threatened to bore those who fought for seats. Miss Parker, formerly in service of Mrs. Dorothy Dennistoun, testified pretty plaintiff was "always talking to me about money." "She was always talking to me about the money Colonel Dennistoun owed her," the maid testified. "Her tongue never ceased. She talked incessantly about everything and everybody and had no secrets. She said the colonel had no money but was a very nice man." Here a peal of laughter from Mrs. Dennistoun upheld her. The maid started to tell of Mrs. Dennistoun riding in Budapest with Prince Odescalchi, the Italian, but the court ruled that such evidence was not admissable. Attorney Boddington, English lawyer, who represented Col. Ian Dennistoun in Paris, testified that the colonel told him his wife was contemplating getting a divorce in Scotland and that if she won he would lose a bequest he was expecting. He said he would have to defend the case by charging his wife was intimate with a superior officer, which distressed him, the attorney said. Fryzer told court Lady Carnarvon provided $500,000 for a marriage settlement just before she and Dennistoun were married, because "it was her desire to surround her husband with utmost dignity." He denied Dennistoun tied up funds for purpose of keeping Mrs. Dennistoun from getting any of them, but so that "there might be some kind of a neat egg on which Lady Carnarvon and he might rely." Half a million, Fryzer pointed out, was not to be despised, oven by a person of wealth. Rotary Head Sees Pres. Coolidge (Continued from Page One) gone there to share in profits incident to rising values and rapid land sales. Asked whether Florida wasn't likely to have reaction from the extremes to which land speculation was going, Leonard was doubtful. He declared there appeared substantial foundation to boom. Florida is still at the opening of its development, according to Rotarian. Climate and proximity to large population centers are main things back of it all. The New Yorker or Philadelphia can run down to Miami in a day or two. Within 26 hours he can go from freezing to almost tropical weather. Florida is particularly attractive to old folks who dread trip across country to California. The extremely balmy climate with its profuse rains also lure tourist. The season doesn't last more than two or three months—principal winter months of Northeast—December, January and February. The natural advantages are there to a large extent, including many fresh water lakes—26 of them at Orlando, an inland town not many miles from sea. Islands, particularly at Miami, also have helped to vary seascapes. They have been adorned and developed to utmost. The citrus fruit industry also is on substantial basis, and packing houses are as modern as ours. But it has very secondary place in Florida's prosperity. Grapefruit is almost drug on market at some points. Both grapefruit and oranges are given away to tourists at some large hotels, as an advertising stunt. Yet a few hundred miles north of Florida one pays perhaps 28 cents for a half portion of grapefruit at best restaurants. Leonard was told by official of large chain store organization it intended to place juice extractors in all its stores which extend thruout large part of the country.

SACRAMENTO, March 13—Reiterating all new construction work on California highways will be brought to a standstill in next two years, unless funds are provided by the present legislature to continue the road program, the state highway commission today issued emphatic denial of a statement made by Mrs. Nellie Brewer Pierce, lobbyist of the oil company, that the commission has sufficient money on hand to continue road work during 1925 without an increase in the state gas line tax. The assertion of Mrs. Pierce in her attack on the proposed gas tax raise that "there is actually available for new construction in 1924$8,985,365.59$, or more than was expended by the commission for new roads in 1924"$ was branded by members of the highway commission as "a gross misstatement of the fact based on juggled figures." The balance of $3,054,433.60 in bond money cited by the former state budget-maker is all obliquated on highway contracts now under way, the commission affirmed. Replying to the statement that the commission will receive $5,464,591 in federal aid money during 1925 for road construction, the state road body declared that collection of this money will not be made during this year, but will extend over a two or three-year period, with indications that portion of the money will not be come available until 1927. Practically all money may be collected this year is already obligated, the statement pointed out. Summarizing the commission's reply to Mrs. Pierce, Chairman Harvey M. Toy of the state commission said: "This attempt of the opponents of the gasoline tax to set up an imaginary balance in an effort to prove that sufficient money is now on hand for road work is not worthy of consideration by mem- He denied Dennistoun tied up funds for purpose of keeping Mrs. Dennistoun from getting any of them, but so that "there might be some kind of a neat egg on which Lady Carnarvon and he might rely." Half a million, Fryzer pointed out, was not to be despised, even by a person of wealth. The solicitor said colonel received $40,000 from father's estate of which $25,000 had been paid defense counsel in present suit in which his former wife seeks to collect $6000 she claims he owes her. The rest of colonel's resources came from Lady Carnarvon, who also paid additional sum toward costs of present case, solicitor testified. The attorney said $60,000 had been paid defense counsel, but he denied $20,000 had been paid defectives. FRICTION BETWEEN OFFICIALS IN PROBE PAWHUSKA, Okla., March 13. Friction between federal, state and county authorities, conducting what was to have been a secret investigation here into the murder of seven wealthy Osage Indians, was indicated today as reason for apparent dropping of the probe last night. Secret investigation into evidence to show four had been slain by bandits hired by a ring of four white men who sought the oil royalties from land owned by the Indians, was to have begun yesterday morning. Last night federal and state officials departed suddenly. Following their departure, county officials said premature publicity by a prominent state official Monday had given warning to important witnesses and they had fled the state. They said it was necessary to postpone the inquiry indefinitely. Information from state officials, however, indicated the probe had not been dropped. And in spite of the attitude of county officials, rumors presisted today that warrants had been issued for the arrest of four members of the ring. STAGE AND COUPE COLLIDE IN CANYON An accident was reported to E. R. McClure, Brea city marshall, last night from Brea canyon, where a Crown stage, driven by Carl Parks, and a Ford coupe, driven by Clarence Anglin of Cucamonga, collided. The accident occurred about a mile and a half from Brea. The coupe was knocked in Florida's prosperity. Grape fruit is almost drug on market at some points. Both grapefruit and oranges are given away to tourists at some large hotels, as an advertising stunt. Yet a few hundred miles north of Florida one pays perhaps 28 cents for a half porton of grapefruit at best restaurants. Leonard was told by official of large chain store organization it intended to place juice extractors in all its stores which extend throut large part of the country. Chicago, his old home at Wilkes-Barre, Pa., New York, Washington, D. C., where he spent three weeks, most of main points in Florida, Mobile, Ney Orleans, Galveston, El Paso—these partly outline Leonard's trip. The Rotarian was not very enthusiastic about appearance of the central south, altho he couldn't speak with much authority regarding its economic condition. PLAN STORE CHAIN SAN FRANCISCO, March 13. Following purchase of a department store in Oakland, Ben P. Schlesinger today was reported ready to announce formation of a $25,000,000 corporation for the operation of a string of Pacific coast stores.

Purchase of a store in Los Angeles in the near future is contemplated. Schlesinger said. The new enterprise will be known as B.F. Schlesinger & Sons, Inc. It will be a separate concern, it was stated, from the May store of Los Angeles, of which Schlesinger has been vice-president and manager for some years. THEFTS REPORTED W. R.
