LACK OF CHAPERONS
PREVENTS
RECEPTION
Lady Managers Withdraw Recep
tion Invitation to West
Point Cadets.
COULD NOT SOLVE PROBLEM.
Many Society Matrons Have Oth
er Engagements and Xffair
Had to Be Given Up in
Consequence.
Because of a lack of chaperons, the
reception to bo tendered to the West Point
Cadets tils evening by tho Board of Lady
Managers will not take place.
Colonel Treat. In command of the cadets,
was notified ye"terday that the invitation
had been withdrawn.
After preliminary plans had been made
for the reception, the Social Censor Com
mittee of the Board of Lady Managers
was confronted with an unexpected prob
lem. "It would not do to Invite 200 young
women to an evening reception without a
proper number of chaperons," suggested
one member of the board.
"No, it would never do," was the unan
imous agreement reached by the other
members of the board.
The next vexing question was. "Who
shall the chaperons be?"
This proved the greater problem of the
tno, and after two hours of lively discus
Eion, the commltteoadjourned, with the
problem unsolved, and a communication
was at once sent to Colonel Treat, notify
ing him that the invitation had been v.ith
drawn, . The selection of chaperons, the board
members felt was a greater responsibility
than they cared to assume. Discussing
the plans, it was at first decided to invest
in the clhyierona the honor and privilege
of Inviting four girls each. Such a plan
would mean that only fifty chaperons
would be asked to assist nt the reception.
MATRONS WERE BUSY.
Besides this it was discovered that
many societv leaders, who would make
admirable chaperons and add to the dig
nity of the occasion, had accepted invita
tions to a dinner to-night to be given
Prince Pu Lun.
Confronted by this disappointment and
fearful that the work of the Invitation
censor might lead to social complications,
the reception, which was to mark the last
society event for the cadets on the even
ing prior to their departure, was given up.
The official Invitation to the reception
was posted on the camp bulletin yester
day morning, and the cadets were con
gratulating themselves on being thus hon
ored, when their hopes were suddenly
shattered by a contrary notice being post
ed later In the day that the Invitation
had been withdrawn.
"It was found after the invitation had
been extended,'' said Mrs. Finis Ernest, a
member of tho board, last evening; "that
many of the women, we desired to Invite
had already accepted Invitations to a din
ner, and, besides, fho time for prepara
tion waa ro short that we would have
been compelled to sit up all night writing
invitations In order that they might be
received in.tlme."
The Wen Point Cadets will break camp
to-morrow and leave St Louis about 6
o'clock in the evening. The battalion will
return to the barracks at West Point and
will later go into camp on the Hudson
River.

WATERWORKS TRIP
TO FAIR DELAYED,
Automobile Representative De
cjared Party Cannot Be Car
ried at Contract Price.
DEMANDS PAYMENT TO START.
Refuses to Accept Anything but
Cash Delegates Visit Fair
and Are Entertained on
the Pike.
An annoying Incident delajed the start
of the Waterworks Convention partv at
the JcfTerson Hotel vesterday afternoon,
and for a few moments It looked as though'
the party would have to proceed to the
World's Fair grounds In street cars.
Fully thirty automobiles, the property
of the World's Fair Automobile Company,
were drawn up in front of the hotel, and
many had taken their seats on thevehicks,
when William Faj, superintendent of the
company, appeared at the hotel and de
clared that the company could not pos
sibly carry the people to the grounds at
the figure originally specified in the con
tract. Rather than have any hitch In the ar
rangements. Water Commissioner Hen C.
Adklns acquiesced to any plan that would
serve to facilitate carrjfng out the plans
of the- day, when. It is slid, a demand
was made for pajment on the transac
tion The Water Commissioner was taken
back considerably at this demand, but
upon recovering his composure, drew a
bank book from hIspocket and proffered
a check for the cost of the trip
To his surprise this was refused Lj
man T. Haj, proprietor of the Jefferson
Hotel, was called. He drew his personal
check for the amount of the dav's outing,
but the emploje of the automobile com
pany was imperturbable. "I must have
the cash," he said; "no checks go."
PRODUCES MONEY.
There was no way out of the difficulty.
It seemed, until Mr. Adklns, in calm
suavity, drew a roll of bills from his
pocket that would have choked an ele
phant 'Thli excursion to the World s
Fair grounds Is trolnir to hannen " hi re
marked, "If it costs every cent I'm worth "
Aiier tue monev was turned over, the
start was made and all went well until
the World s Fair grounds was reached
There almost an hour was lost getting
within the gate.
iicueis nad to De Bought, and the entire
party counted bj gatekeepers before the
party was allowed within the grounds.
Mr. Adklns stated last night that the
original contract called for transportation
ana admittance to the grounds. This con
tract, as well as the sei-ond one made at
the Jefferson Hotel, he claims, was broken.
Mr. Adklns protested vigorously against
the treatment he received.
The original contract he sajs. called for
an expenditure of but a trifle over Mft)
The cost of transportation and admittance
vesterday. he says, cost in the neighbor
hood of S50.
Speaking of the affair last night Mr- Ad
klns said: "I have an engagement to
meet the president of the company in the
morning, when. 1 believe, the matter will
be straightened out to my satisfaction. I
believe that it was no fault of the ofilclils
of the company, and I have evcrv reason
to believe that they will live up to the
letter of their original contract"
The American Waterworks Association

Expoilton building. Thirteenth and Olive
