Reports from the national capital in- ( i «tirate that Senator Henry Cabot -Lodge. one of the most hitter appell ants to the League of Nations and one ' of the most prominent members of , the Old Guard, is favorably inclined ; toward the world court plan of I’resi r dent Harding. And witti the alleged [ support of Mr. Lodge, the President is | finding other former bitter-enders com- I lug to his support, also. , We can sec but one thing in the no ] I tion of Mr. Lodge. He sees at last that tlie people of flic United States are not going to be satisfied longer , with the attempts of a foreign policy i by the administration, and he wants 1 to support the court plan or anything j ■ else that appears to offer the pimple 'something more definite than the Ito i publicans have ever offered. And too. this plan is sponsored by a Republi- ] can, and for that reason he can sup port it. If it lxad been proposed by i , Mr. Wilson or any oilier Democrat, it ’ would have been as objeetionahle to Mr. Lodge as the League of Nations, i the chief objection to tlie League be- I ing the fact tliat it was proposal by a 1 Democrat. hi When Senator Lodge begins to see ( the light, or rather when he is willing i to admit that lie sees the light, there 1 Js a reasonable chance of something , good being accomplished. The Ameri can people have become disgusted with the Hurtling attempt of adopting a 1 R foreign policy, and they are showing ] this disgust so plainly that even mem- ’ §■ liers of tlie Old Guard are willing to 1 || suggest or advocate a change. f *.

While •• the 1920 census gave her lint 19,8(51 ;f people, everyone knew there were close I to 45,000 who boasted of* residing in | the metropolis of Gullfbrd. ft, Tin* Supreme Court rules that Amer |f lean ships have tlie right to sell in- Hs toxienting liquors after they pass out ; of the three-mile limit, but that they i. do not 1 have the right to bring tlie Rf Ifcfuors into port with them.

He is not of my politieal faith, but he is an American citizen and so am I. You repudiate yoor citizenship when you follow this man Gron. “Judge Sanborn decided tlie divorce case heard last December after listen ing to evidpnee presented for nine days. No appeal was taken from his decision to give Mrs. Gron a divorce, and to give the child to her. That de cision stands. “And now Gron undertakes to go against our laws. He did not even keep his naturalization as an Ameri can. He has the nerve to come here criticising our laws. “By coming here, you may lay your selves liable to contempt of epurt aud by participation iu his scheme to get the boy. You are going to unlertake to tell a judge what to do. Do you realize what that would mean? "Oh, you people of Portland," said Mr. Connolly, with a new note of plead ing in liis impassioned voice, “do not be misled in this fool effort. ‘‘This man is not crazy, but the trouble is that he has lived so long cm his wits that lie can’t now suffer a denial of what lie wishes." Mr. Gron listened' during this dis course, liis arms and face twitching, and standing within an arm's length of Mr. Connolly. The men continued their argument which became so limited that he audi ence feared there would he a personal encounter. Airs. Gron. the second, once arose and motioned to her hus band to control himself. The meeting was then adjourned. Mr. Gron’s address that was punc tuated with attacks on “the Black Frocks,” explaining he referred to some judges and bishops. lie closed with an appeal to those attending to consider liis proposition for a hoard of legal guardianship for his child. Neils, Jr., nine years old. now in custody of tlie mother. Made line Masters Stone. He urged all to send liim a letter with their vote on this hoard, naniiug some one person who they thought would he suitable to sit in tills propos ed body. He stressed liis desire to have the child taken from Airs. Gron. and said lie did not consider it was being properly eared for at present. He announced that iie would hold a second meeting toimffrow night. Mid another on May 3. The following article was published j April 27: MAYOR PREVENTS MEETING BY GRON. FEARING RIOT Hundreds Dispersed by Police Who] Guard Hall.—Alay Hire Halls For j Disrussion in Other Maine Cities. , Anxious to prevent an assembly, which lie* thought might result iu a riot. Aluypr Carroll S. Chaplin issuul orders last night directin£fcrhe police | to prevent Neils Gron from holding a ! meeting at l’ythiah Temple. Mayor Chaplin issued this state ment : “From reports that have come to me of tlie meeting held by Niels Gron in Pythian Temple on the evening of April 34, I am tomineed that further meetings of tlie same nature will re- 1 suit in an unlawful assembly, and ul timately develop into a riot. “Public opinion is not hi accord with utterances which reflect on the in tegrity of our courts, and which will inevitably lead to violence and disre gard of law and order: and in defer ence to that opinion, and for the pres ervation of tin* peace of tills commun ity. I have directed the Chief of Po lice to prevent the holding of the meeting which is seheluled for this evening." Police, under (lie direction of Chief Irving S. Watts, acted accordingly, and three patrolmen and two sergeants kept guard before the closed and locked doors of the hail which Air. Gron had hired. They did not allow anyViiie to enter this particular hall, not even Air. Gron and dispersed crowds who gatli ered in front of,the building. Air. Gron arrived at Pythian Tem ple at 7:45 o'clcok. An hour before, after Chief of Police Watts received orders from Alayor Chaplin. Air. Gron was notified by the police that he could not hold the meeting. AVheu Air. Gron appeared at tlie building last night, in the midst of persons walking up and down tlie side walks, who were kept moving by tlie police, lie conferred with Chief Watts. Tlie chief explained that lie had or ders from the Mayor, and would act in strict accordance with them. After a brief consultation. Mr. Gron walked up Cumberland Avenue, in a westerly direction. He was followed by nearly 10(> persons, who were ap parently anxious not to miss any pos- L m -1C ■ jjrifejjjj«!■ min I Itt *—* ! m sible developments. He was also fol- I lowed by Patrolman Richard J. Nu gent. Explains to Crowd. , Several times Mr. Gron halted. ‘ while explaining to people that his ‘ meeting was called off by the police. At Forest and Cumberland Avenue. Mr. Grou again paused to make an ex planation. Forty people gathered about him in au instant. Patrolman ' Nugent came up and took him by his | arm, saying, "Walk along, Mr. Gron, you are creating a nuisance.” Mr. Gron walked down past tlie hall again, through the dozens who were promenading back and forth, aud went to his hotel, expostulating against tlie lialking of his plans. In a statement to a Press Herald re porter. he said. “I had a long talk with the Alayor and the Chief before the time set for my meeting. They i will not let me go in my hail, or let anyone else. “The mayor told me that there were going to lie so many there that he stopped The meeting in anticipation of a riot. I myself, had no such antiei pation. "I never iu m.v life saw a liner lot ■ of people, with tlie exception of one in dividual. than attended my first meet- i ing at Pythian Temple Tuesday night. , None tried to make a disturbance, ex- | cept that one. “The mayor told me that lie had heard more of this same sort were to , Ik* mobilized, and were coming to mv ‘, meeting. He told me that he would , not allow me to hold another meeting , at any time.” Asked what lie was going to do next, Air. Gron replied. “I am going to do what can be done. I don't know liow the people will feel about this, but there must be some way to reach them.” To Seek- Public Opinion. In front of the hall, before leaving for his hotel. Air. Gron told many per sons that lie wished them to write him and let him know their opinions. He talked of urging people to petition the mayor for tlie privilege of using tlie hall. • j “I will have m.v meeting.” lie said. i j as lie walked away, “if 1 have to have ' it in South Portland, in 4Vest brook, in . Lewiston., in Augusta, or in Boston." Iu a statement given to The Press Herald. County Attorney Clement F. • Robinson explained that Mayor Chap : lin conferred wit it him and iris assist ant. Ralph AI. Ingalls, yesterday, lie fore issuing orders to halt the meet riing. , j "Me felt (lie Mayor bail a perfect | i iarht to prevent the meeting,” said Air. j Robinson. "1 believe tliat was the j proper tiling to do. and that the law | upholds such au action. The county I I attorney’s department certainly stands! j back of a Alayor wlio had backbone ! | enough to take tlie bit in bis teeth,! j and he should be commended. ; “Rumors readied me all day thati j people were going to that meeting to’] ] make trouble, and that there was going i ] Jto be an egg-throwing and general dis-1 I order. ! “I will not enter’into tliis controver sy, but a public meeting that might I i ! result in a riot, where property niifeWt j j I l>e damaged aud people, ought to lie ] | stopped. ( i Ordinances Uphold Officials. "I looked up the law and'the city ordinances, and find that authority is given to prevent a gathering which might result in a public disturbance." As late as 9 o'clock last night people were turned away from the hall by tlie police. They gathered into ;mail groups, until moved liy patrolmen to other- spots, and discussed the action of the Alayor and the prevention of tlie meeting. Indications were that there would have been a crowd at Air. (Iron's meeting that would have taxed tlie capacity of the auditorium. Tlie meeting of Tuesday night, which was tlie first of a series at which Air. Grou promised to review tlie proceed ings in Superior Court last December when lie was divorced from liis wife, and which lie hoped would aid him in establishing a board of public guard ians for liis nine year old son. now with his former wife, was the occas ion for a fiery debate between Air. Gron and Josepii E. F. Connolly, at torney for (lie former Airs. Gron. dur iug tlie divorce hearing. Air. Connolly, who is a former judge of the Superior Court, did not reach tin* lmll last night up to a late hour. Many attorneys were in the throng who went to tlie vicinity hoping to become members of tlie audience. White Bishops Are to Meet Negro Bishops. Nashville.

B. GRADY Plumbing and Heating Contractors 11 Corbin St. Office Phone 334 W Mothers of Famous Men Hie Mother of Richard Mansfield. Quite the reverse in every respect from the placid, uninteresting mother i of David Garrick, great actor or the eighteenth century, was the mother of Richard Mansfield, great actor of the nineteenth century. Erminia Ruders (lorff, Mansfield’s mother, was a vital, warm, creature of genius, as famous in her itme as an operatic primn don na as her son ever became as a mas ter of tragedy. A mere cursory glance at her character, and life, is sufficient to demonstrate where Richard Mansfield got all his fin*, gen iiis, and also liis eccentricities. Erminia Hudersdorff Mansfield was n typical tempestuous, story-book primn donna, a life model of the he roines of several modern plays, and novels, such as “Enter Madame,” ‘‘The Texas Nightingale," and "Rita Coven try." She was beautiful, brilliant, gifted, temperamental, flighty aud lov able. Her husband adored her, as did everyone else who came in contact with ! her. She made till men her willing staves. Her caprices were respected : s those of a queen. I 'Although she was a singer— a so ; piano of such natural beauty and skill |of technique tliat she was chosen by j tlie great Mendelssohn to ermite the landing role of one of his optTas—she I was also endowed with a great dra matic talent. Had it not been for the glory of her singing voice she would [ have made one of the greatest dra matic actresses of all time. Her sense of drama was perfect—she was con- 1 stantly dramatizing herself and any situation in which she happened to . find herself. She was charged, say tlie 1 biographers, who are united in hteir ] adoration of this temperamental beau- 1 ty. w’ith enthusiasm, energy aud de termination. Writing of her, oue bi ographer says: “She always dominated her environ ment. She was of commanding pres ence. with lior raven black hair, her brilliant and expressive eyes, and lA'r countenance was extraordinarily mo bile in the denotement of the element al passions." Mine. Hudersdorff, all agree, was lender and sympathetic, while at tlie same time imperious, in which her son Richard, who was her favorite child, was exactly like her. Next : The Mother of James Watt.
