When first you enter the kitchens
of Hotel Ansley you think you arc
In an inferno of clanging pans and
jangling pots; your brain reels with
the effort to understand the French
words that are hurled back and forth,
and your neck aches with the strain
of trying to catch more than a pass

But before you have time to col
lect your thoughts and remember that
when they yell “cafe noir,” "parfait,”
and "pomme gaufette." they are talk.
Ing about black doffee, ice cream and
potatoes, you catch a glimpse of a
little, short, fat min, whose one good
eye twinkles with good humor, and
whose bald, shining head and brist
ling mustache, covering a perpetually
smiling mouth, invites confidence and
friendship.
He sits enthroned on a chair at a
little deok—the monarch of the
kitchens.
\ ou’ve seen “The Duelling Chef”—
Jean Peyrat— and instinctively you
wnHe at him and with him.
It was Peyrnt’s pride In his cook
ing that caoaed -him to fight a duel
with another cook in the kitchens
of the Hotel T)'Angleterre, In Riarizt,
France, while King Edward of Eng
land sat in the dining room and wait
ed patiently for the Peyrat marvels
to apear.
It was this duel—his last—that
gave Peyrat the name of "The Duel
ling Chef." and it was also where
he lost his right eye, his opponent
having jabbed him In the optic with
a fork after Peyrat had hurled his
weapon from him with his own blade.
According to Peyrat’s story. he
fought the duel w ith another cook of
the Hotel D’Angleterre because the
latter tried to destroy a kitchen mas
terpiece he had created especially for
the dinner to King Edward.
Made Great Dish for King.
Peyrat moulded a monster deer and
lion, with the latter representing
Fin gland, crouched over the body of
the deer, victorious Around the
sides of the deer and lion w r ere placed
the lobeter the caviar and the other
good things.
As the waiters took up the master
piece to carry it into the dining room,
the Jealous cook, an assistant of Pey
rat. tried to throw it to the floor.
The duel followed, in which Peyrat
lost his eye and the other cook re
ceived five knife wounds in the shoul
der.
"The dish I fix for the King,” Pey
rat says, with both tongue and shoul
ders. "it was a w’hat you call mas
terpiece. Magnificent! Grand! Noth
ing like it had ever been seen in the
world. The King, he send me that i

a jealous fellow. He liked me not,
because I was not so many years as
he and yet I am chef. This fellow

call a bum, a loafer!
I fix the grand dish. This bum

Burlesque, Columbia
Theater, Monday 7:30 p. m.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 14.—Devel
opments since the passage of the tar
iff bill the other day are interpreted
by students of the subject to indi
cate that the conferees of the bill
will reject the amendment of Sena
tor Clarke, of Arkansas, taxing cot
ton futures, and will substitute in ite
place the amendment of Senator
Hoke Smith, of Georgia, which ac
complishes much the name effect by
a different means.
The Clarke amendment levies a tax
of one-tenth of I cent a pound on
the quantity of cotton described In
an agreement of sale for future de
livery. and provides heavy penalties
for violation of the statute.
Senator Hoke Smith’s amendment,
w hich was offered in the Senate dur
ing consideration of the bill, is in
tended to forbid the delivery on fu
ture contracts of cotton other than
according to the standards of quality
fixed by the United States* Govern
ment, with the further provision that
if the seller is unable to deliver the
quality of cotton specified in the
agreement he must pay to the buyer
the difference between the price of
the cotton he offers and the price of
the cotton specified.
Wilson Favors Smith’s Idea.
The Giarke amendment, which was
adopted by the Senate, provides that
the tax will go into effect September
1. 1914.
The conferees have not yet taken
I up that part of the bill which in-
I elude* the Clarke amendment, and
vil! not reach it for some time. Nev
ertheless. great interest is being
shown in the question, and specula-
! tion is rife as to what the conferees
will decide to do.
The intimation is obtained from
Majority Leader, Underwood that
President Wilson is opnqped to tlie
Clarke amendment, being apprehen
sive that it will dist’i-rb the vast cot
ton business of the South, and If the
President confirms this belief to the
conferees the amendment is as good
as defeated.
As a matter of fact, the reason why
Clarke and other members of the j
Senate voted for the amendment was i
that they believed the Farmers' ;
Union wanted it. Furthermore, it is j
the impression here that in reality
they v/ere personally opposed to it.
and feareu it would do harm to the ,
cotton business.
Conferees Oppose Amendment.
Another theory for the enactment
of the amendment is that it was put
in simply as a trade proposition, with
the expectation of giving it up if the
House would make a concession of
equal importance. This is compli
cated by the development, in the
House of quite a sentiment in favor
of the amendment which may have
some influence on the conferees. The
House conferees, however, are under
stood to be opposed to the amend
ment.
The most .important factor at pres,
ent is the attitude of the President.
It becomes particularly significant
when it is considered that Senator
Hoke Smith’s amendment can be
supported as an -alternative. Senator
Hoke Smith is very close to the ad
ministration. and more than anyone |
else is the President’s spokesman in |
the Senate. Accordingly there are]
good surface reasons to believe that
the President Is behind Senator
Smith’s amendment.
