...been for two weeks a U. S. Senator said to a newspaper friend: "Seven men are running the Senate and I am one of them." That man was Albert Jeremiah Beveridge, who last week died of heart disease in his Indianapolis home. He was buried in Crown Hill Cemetery, near the grave of James Whitcomb Riley. Onetime Senator Beveridge was famed as orator, author, statesman. While at De Pauw University he won an intercollegiate oratorical medal, awarded in another year to the late Senator Robert Marion LaFollette. Entering the Senate in 1899 he was an ardent Imperialist, supporting McKinley...
...Danilo Petrovic, Crown Prince of Montenegro until that realm was united with Jugoslavia (1918), entered a cinema theatre in Paris, last week, sat down, composed himself to view lily-fleshed Mae Murray in The Merry Widow. . . . Next day a wrathful M. Danilo Petrovic strode into the office of M. Joseph Paul-Boncour, famed barrister, repeatedly French representative before the League of Nations, known because of his silver tongue as "The Socialist Demosthenes," several times retained as an attorney by the abdicated Crown Prince Carol of Rumania.

...London, earlier in the week, Prince George, youngest son of the King Emperor, entered the booth of a crystal-gazing fortune teller, laid down a crown. . . . "Your father," said the seer, "was a sea captain but he has retired." Prince George nodded encouragement. His father, the King Emperor, did indeed command H. M. S. Melampus in his youth. "Your eldest brother . . . wait, young man . . . you must warn him! I see him in the crystal. . . . It is tomorrow. He rides in a race and I see him fall. . . ." Laughing, Prince George strode from the booth. Later he warned Edward of Wales...
