May It was (our years ago that George F. V in gut, whom the yellows' would describe aa "mU'lonaire Mlubman, cross-country rider, boa vtvant. whip, gentleman about town and yacnts- man," gave that famous "human daley chain" supper-breakfast un In the stu dio of Mr. and Mrs. Oerrlt Smith, in East Thirty-third ' street, which Mr. Smith says waa rented from her for the $5,000 party by Mr. Vlngut.

Party, aocordtn to the Smiths: or -at least they gather that it was when they came around the next day to take a look at the wreck of their studio. The damage by th party, amounting to $247, trailed all the way from the busted pedestal In. the oasement up to tn Dam tun. Gerrlt Smith is a well known church organist, and his wife -is a singer. Their ?iusical studio was large and admirably itted for- fireproof parties, and so when the Smiths were away they would rent it out at times, to folks that -felt the call of society within them. One day, four years ago. according to Mrs. Smith's testimony, vlngut came to her and rented the apartment for hia party. Carl Berger, who feeds folks at the Hotel Gotham and his Newport res taurant was to be the caterer. Carl was in court today and listened sadly while Mra Smith told that Carl came to her also before the party and said: "Charge 'em 1100 Instead of your reg ular $7t rental, Mrs. Smith, and I'll take a5," which was not done. , . Water Also ServedV ' .'Berger took the stand and In answer to questions told what ha served. Among the things were '"champagne, rye whiskey, Sootch , whiskey, . brandy, liquors and and water.-' . Roars of laughter from the side lines greeted this "and and water," and th judge rapped for order. Charles Gordier. the wine clerk at the Racquet club, of which Vlngut the de- lenaant s a nember. said that all he had done during the party was to hand out bottles of champaame "from 10:30 O'clock until about 3:80 in the morning." Carl Berger said at first he had left the 'party about 3 o'clock, and at that hour all the guests had retired to their several trundle beds, and there was nothing damaged, so far as he was able to -grasp at the time. Later on in hia testimony Carl thought he left about 4:80. and before stepping down from the Stand he was sure that he left be fore about S in the morning. Court ad. Journed before Carl got any further into the next Vlngut testified today that ha, Blair Painter and 3. H. Hasson had got up the little festival, and that there were 78 men invited altogether, each of whom whacked up his share. Vingut's share, he said, was about 178. Seven-ty-flve times 175 would make It a 16,(35 party altogether. peiefTshaky on SERVIAN THRONE Anti - Regicides befy Him and His Priest -Publicly Denounces His Acts. London, May Ij From time to time there comes news from Belgrade , of such a nature aa to force speculation as to how long King Peter will remain seated on his blood-stained Servian throne. Chafing under the court predomi nance of the regicides, their opponents seem dally to grow bolder in their ex- PSeesJon of iiatrad snd determination to rid the country of the men who are the cause or its practical boycott among the nations of Europe. . EMU umt tnu miseraDi monarcn attempts some step to satisfy the antl realcldea it la avtdent that he is given a grim reminder that the men who mur dered King Alexander would not Shrink from th murder of King Peter. Th Servian king s latest experience of his humiliating position was on . April 19, the Servian aim Sunday, when he sat In the cathedral at Belgrade, and was forced to hear himself publicly condemned before- a crowded congre- gaUonby a military cnapiain. : Soasted by Chaplain. In addition to th king, all the no tabilities of the city were present In the church when 1 the preachers open ing words aroused at once admiration and consternation. . . Taking advantage ot tn tact tnat the day was the anniversary of an event wnicn Happened a century ago, tn preacher was able to speak directly to the king of th circurastancea ot his accession, in woras wnicn uoimwauy ap plied to events of a hundred years ago: "My conscience," he said, "will not al low m to pass, over .the national. Im portance of this data, which is so closely aasoclated .with . the great Obrsnovltch dynasty." He then referred to the uprising against the Turks, un der Mllosh, a century ago, on Palm Sunday, and the deliverance on Palm Sunday of the keys of the Belgrade fortress to Prince Michael Obrenovltch. Pointing to the latter'a tomb, he cried: - Xing aa -migto. ' "There lies a ruler who, without shed ding a drop of blood, gave back to Ser via her inheritance, and In return fell by the hand of a hired assassin. , Shame on the miscreant who compassed the death of -this patriot prince." a The preacher then extolled the Ob renovltch rulers and called on the con gregation In Join him in crying "Honor to them, honor!" v - King Peter sad rigid In his pew and stared fixedly before him. while the ex cited congregation, - which was for a moment silent, caught up the words, and "Honorl honorl" thundered to the roof, startling the crowds outside, while the hapless successor of - the- Obrenovltch dynasty listened In Impotent silence. When the priest descended from the pulpit he was congratulated tn the sao rlsty by -all the priests present, who thanked him for his independence, The deliverance of such a sermon in th presence of the metropolitan -gives double significance to the daring policy of the clergy.
