FRIDAY EVENING - - HARHISBURG TELEGRAPH! * DECEMBER 14, 1017.
scribes him as a man who "would
go so far na to admit it was raining
If there was no one within earshot."
This comment evidently was evoked
from the efforts of newspapermen to
Interview Colonel House concerning:
his mission while he was in London.
Chesterfield House, that beautiful
old home in the Mayfair district of
London, was the Bcene of many in-1
terestlng meetings during the visit|
of the American mission here. Colo-|
House and Mrs. House, who occom-|
panled him from the United States, |
lived there and meetings were heldi
there between American and British I
admirals, generals and financiers.
Lady Burton left Chesterfield House
to tho Duke of Boxburgh, who
placed it at the service of the Ameri
can Government, with all its Gains
borough and Heynolds pictures and
precious old china and books, nnd
even servants with cockades.
Colonel House met tho newspaper
men in the library upon his arrival
from the United States. He -stood In
fr£nt of the big English fire and
beautiful chimneyplece of the house
that Isaac Ware built for I.o;d Ches
terfield of the "Letters." There'was
little news in what the Colonel had
to say.
SMALLEST MAN IS REJECTED
Fulton, Mo.—Atley West of Mo- 1
kane, 25 years old, and probably the
smallest man In the South, reported
for examination and was rejected.
West is G4% Inches high and wolghs
57 Vs pounds'. He passed all tests
but weight and height.
Arrested After He Tore
Up Three Pairs of Pants
East St. Louis, lll.—After Patrol
man Tiernan had stood for a half
hour at St. Clair avenue and Locust
street and watched John Dobbeck,
37 years old, a foreigner, tear three
pairs of trousers tnto shreds, he de
cided there was something wrong l
with Dobbeck.
He called a patrol and sent him
to police headquarters, where he wag
held pending an Inquiry Into his nan-.
lty.
Tiernan later learned that Dob*
beck had been acting strangely foir
several days.
