Recently They Have Been Busy Starting War Scare . Over Morocco. BY STEVEN BURNETT. ' pril Cabla from the International N Hrvlc.) Berlin. Mar 20. Like the jingoes of all countries, who are ever seeing con. spiracles against their nation the PanGermanlsts are always living in an atmospbere of fear In International af fairs they have recently lashed the whole German press Into a fury, because they were afraid France wduld get too much power In Morocco, and If they bad bad the power German ar mies would have been hurled across . the Rhine Into France four weeks ago to wreak terrible vengeance upon the republic that had dared to try to re store order In Morocco. In their In most hearts many of them feel that, as Germany, could never enter that country under any pretense, German Interests there would be far better , safeguarded if the French flag were 'hoisted over the walla of every city In 8ultan Mnlal Hand's turbulent em plre, but this must not happen, because they have themselves prompted Germany to go so far In Its Moroc can policy that retreat would not look like surrender of national honor. Inside the German empire Itself these same Fan-Germanlst hotheads are beset by the fear that the rapidly Increasing Polish population, who are trong followers of ex-President Roosevelt In the race suicide question, will In time swamp Germany and wipe out . the true Teutons. At the Pan-German -congress held here a few "days ago 'great alarm was expressed at the 'rapid Increase of the Polish population, not only In the eastern provinces but In the Industrial regions of the 'west as well. One apeaker after another spoke of this aa the empire's chief danger, and the government was tadjured to put into effect the expropriation law passed against the Poles 'three years ago, which enables the istate to purchase large Polish estates 'eompulsorily and divide them out among German colonists. - It was pointed out that the Poles were advancing from the east in what ds called a steady Slavonic wave, and 'that this wave Is inundating regions which, until recently, were purely Teutonic. Poles, ss a rule, have larger families than Germans and marry 'younger. Their surplus Is sent westward, and In Westphalia and .Rhenish 'Prussia there are already hundreds of thousands of this race, all organized Into flourishing communities. It Is not only Increase of their own Poles which troubles the Pan-Germans. In 1909 no fewer than 293,000 Poles from abroad settled In this country, of whom 260,000 r settled In rural and the remainder In urban districts. In the region of Frankfort-on-Oder In 1871 only 1 per cent of.tbe population were Poles; at the present the Poles there nuber nearly 9 per cent. In the Potsdam district they have risen in the same period from 1 to 12 per cent; in Liegnlts from 10 to 20 per cent, in Madgeburg from 3 to 20, and In Merseburg from 1 to 14." ' A long distance competition for flying machines will take place In Germany In June. None but Oerman machines, steered by Germans , can enter for this competition. The principal prise Is $25,000 presented by the .Berliner Zeltunsj Numerous other mailer prises will be given by tbe towns passed enroute, as well as by the local aero cluba. The atart will take place from the Johannesthal Aviation ground near Berlin, on June 11. The course of 1200 miles is as follows: Berlin, Magdeburg, Hamburg, Kiel, 8chweiin. Hanover. Munster, Dusseldorf, Cologne. Alx-la-Chapelle. Dulejburg. Dortmund, Cassel. Nordhausen, Halberstadt, Dessau, Berlin. Thin course his been divided into twelve different sections, varying in length from 0 to ISO miles. After the first section from Berlin to Madgeburg has been completed, the aviators wilt remain at Madgeburg for three days to take part In local racer during a five day's Interval. The German mtnlatry of war la greatly interested In the competition, and will prevent two prises for special achievements of military Interest. The patriotic note Is being very prominently ounded in connection with the whole affair, which la Intended to stimulate aerial navigation with flying machines 1n Geramany, with a view to using oplanes for military purposes. As King of Prussia the Kaiser has been sentenced to refund the sum of 12.50 Imposed as a fine on a German actress. Frauleln Hessloehl. of the Wiesbaden Royal opera. The Kaiser owns all the royal theaters, and their cost. Including the salaries of the actors, comes out of his private purse. The $2.60 In question represented a disciplinary fine Imposed by the opera director on Frauleln Hessloehl for telling another singer, during one of the most tragic moments of "Tristen and Isolde", to "get out of the way." The court which sentenced the Kaiser through the director of the opera, held that the latter had exceeded his legal powers In Imposing the fine. v He had. It appears, done more, for he persistently refused thereafter to allow the singer suitable roles. The lady's complaint on this head, however, waa rejected by the court. ..-.- The people of Berlin had long been wondering what the poor Crown Prince, who is a great favorite with all classes of the population, has done that he Is to be banished for a number of years to the Insignificant and lonely town of Danzig, as commander of the Lifeguard Hussars, but no official explanation has been given. The only light thrown upon the matter Is a recent and evidently Inspired article In a Berlin paper the "Lokalanselger." which many thing. was written by the Kaiser himself. The article which Is very much out

ATTY. GEN. WICKERSHAM of tune with the general tendencies of the papcf has created quite a sensation, first because of its extraordinary tone, second because it, was in form really addressed to the young Crown Prince himself. "The Crown Prince" it Bald, "whose enthusiasm for the military career and soldierly habit of mind is well known, will not only obey his royal father's command with alacrity but. will also welcome tne occasion of extending, his general range of vision and of exercising his passion for soldiering in an entirely new field. "It is obvious that the removal of the prince to a distant province, far from the excitement and stir of the capital, can only further his develop ment on tbe lines required by his vocation and he will of course be expected to take advantage of his opportunity of studying the relations of the military and civil elements, apart from the confusing interoosition of court limitations imposed by the conditions In the capital. The people of Berlin are now more convinced than ever that the crown prince hates the very idea of going to Danzig and that he is being sent there as a punishment for some offense he has committed while in the far east. Jhe Viennese papers report that during the performance of a Polish national drama in a theater at Bendzin, Russian Poland, the chief of police en tered at the head of a strong force of his men and declared that everyone present, including the spectators, ac tors, and scene shifters, were under arrest. Five hundred and eighty persons were escorted to the police station. where they were questioned for hours. ney were only released next morning aftr the identity had been established. All were Informed, however, that they would be prosecuted for machinations dangerous to the state.. The drama, it appears, was being performed despite its prohibition' by the censor. . Seeing and Seizing. "Don't you suppose," said a member of the police force, "that a policeman knows a rogue when he sees him?" "So doubt." wss the reply, "but the trouble Is that be does not seize a rogue when he knows him." Christian Register. WARNING AGAINST .. GREAT FLY PEST . Warnings against that pest of every community the common fly cannot be uttered too often nor too strongly. , As Secretary John N. Hurty, of the Indiana State Board of Health, says: "The way to accomplish a great reform is to commercialize. It".' Make it a question of "business," put it up to the merchant that '"there is' money in it"; convince the head - of the . family that window, and door . screens and wire cloth cost considerably, less than doctor's services and undertaker's bills, and the "great reform" becomes an accomplished fact. Merchants should familiarize themselves with every point and argument made against the dirty fly and those who can should "commercialize" the subject by talkins screen doors and windows to every one of their customers. ... Recent issues of the . medical journals have devoted much space to literature on the fly and its menace to health, and a vigorous campaign has been started against the pest. Once flies were considered merely a nuisance, but sine science began delving successfully for causes of the ills that afflict mankind it has been discovered thst they were the carriers of disease germs and primarily responsible for many of the fevers that are deadly during the summer months. In the Interest of health it therefore becomes Important to devise means of eliminating flies or reducing their number by as many millions as possible. Screens and due attention to the flies that manage to force entry to the house afford, protection, -but the greates safeguardingof health in general lies la preventing the pests from breeding-.'

NEW RULING WILL INSURE GOOD EGGS

Consumer, to Be Protected as Farmer Must Only Sell Good Product. Indianapolis, May 20. Beginning June 1, the large egg dealers and shippers of the state will buy eggs "loss off," and will compel the farmer to sell good eggs or none at all. This decision was reached at a meeting yesterday afternoon at the Grand hotel of the Indiana association of ( Car Lot shippers, which meeting aws attended by nearly forty of tbe one hundred or more . members. Resolutions were adopted asserting that after June 1 the adopted asserting that after June l.the plan of "loss off." This decision was in line with the amendment which the last legislature added to the pure food law, making it a violation of the law to offer a bad egg for sale. This law applies to the farmer, the grocer, the huckster, the dealer, the shipper or to anybody else who sells eggs. H. E. Barnard, state food and drug commissioner, attended the meeting and made an address, In which he told the members his department would do everything In its power to enforce the new, law. Up to this time it has been the common practice for the farmer to sell all his eggs in a lot, regardless of whether the eggs were good, bad or otherwise, and he received a flat price for them. The result was that the consumer had to take his chances on getting good eggs when he bought eggs at a grocery. Fear Reckless- Competition. Some of the members of the association at the meeting, objected to the plan of buying "loss off," because, they said, while they might follow the rule their competitors would continue to buy the farmer's eggs as they have been doing. This, they said, would mean that the dealer who insisted on candling the eggs when he bought them, and paying for them according to grades, would lose his customers, and would not be able to buy eggs agaainst a competitor who offered to buy without candling or gradipg. Mr. Barnard told the members that if they found any competitor doing this, they should notify him, and he would send an inspector to prosecute the offender. "It is a crime for any person to offer a bad egg for sale," said Mr. "Barnard, "and the fact that a person had a bad egg in his possession is proof he in tends to sell it. What we propose to do under the new law is to prevent the sale of bad eggs. We propose to protect the consumer. Consumer to Get Good Eggs. "When a consumer goes to a grocery and buys a dozen eggs he must get good eggs. " Frequently, heretofore, when a man bought a dozen eggs he got two or three bad ones. This practice must be stopped. The consumer must get what be pays for. Not only will we insist on the shipper living up to the law, but we propose also that every grocery shall gaurantee the eggs it sells. Then .the consumer will be protected." Some of the members said they had seen in grocery stores signs that read, "We do not guarantee the eggs we sell." "This will not help the grocers," said Mr. Barnard. "They have got to guarantee the eggs they sell. They must deal fairly with their customers." No Escape for Lawbreaker. Mr. Barnard said large placards had been sent out to dealers notifying them of the provisions of the law, and that the law would be enforced. . It was 'pointed out by some of the members at the meeting that shippers would evade the Indiana law by ship ping their eggs to other state, thus making the business interstate commerce. But Mr. Barnard told them the federal pure food law was almost identical with the Indiana law on this subject, and that any shipper who undertook to ship bad eggs out of the state would be prosecuted against under the federal law, and his shipments would be seized. The secretary vas directed to send a notice to all the absent members, notifying them of the resolution to buy eggs "loss off." besrinnins: June 1.

Gold Finger Ornament Once Caused Death of a Queen and a Favorite. (Speoial Cable from the International News Service.) London, May 20. In Christie's famous auction rooms, where so many American art lovers have acquired a great portion of the treasures that now adorn their mansions, -there was recently - sold a rather insignificant looking ring, which once - caused the death of an English queen and her favorite. . . . , The ring itself is of gold with a back arabesque foliage enameled blue5 In to it is set a sardonyx cameo carved with a portrait of Queen Elizabeth, done by tbe anonymous Italian, who also carved the famous portrait of Henry VIII., now in the Royal collection at Windsor Castle. " As for the history of the ring, Queen Elizabeth gave it to the Earl of Essex, at the time she was' most passionately in love with him, ordering him to keep it and stating that whatever he should commit she would pardon him when he returned that pledge. Then the Earl's enemies, having prevailed with tbe Queen,, caused him to be impeached. She, besides, was exasperated against him for the contempt he had shown for her beauty. (It was brought to her that he had said her mind was as crooked as her body.) When he was condemned she expected to receive from him the ring, and would have granted him his pardon, according to her promise and the Earl, finding himself in the last extremity, would have sent it. To this end he applied to Admiral Howard's lady (the Countess of Nottingham), who was his relation, and desire her, by a person whom she could trust, to deliver the ring into the Queen's own hands. But her husband, who was one of the Earl's greatest enemies, and to whom she toid this imprudently, would not' suffer her to acquit herself of the commission. So the Queen consented to the Earl's death, being full of indignation against so proud and haughty a spirit, who chose rather to die than implore her mercy. Some time after, tbe admiral's lady fell sick, and being given over by her physician, sent word to the Queen that she had something of great consequence to tell her before she died. The queen came to her bedside, and, having ordered her attendants to withdraw, the Countess returned to her the ring from the Earl of Essex, desiring to be excused for not having returned it sooner, since her husband had prevented her. The astounded Queen burst into a furious passion. Shaking the dying countess in her bed, she cried out vehemently that God might pardon . her, but she never could. The Queen flung herself out of the chamber overwhelmed with the utmost grief, because she had consented to the death of a lover who had applied to her for mercy. American visitors ,to the coronation would do well to spend a few days at the Scotch exhibition at Glasgow, which is far more interesting than any of the so-called coronation exhibitions in this city, which have been created for no other purpose than that of enriching their promoters. The main purpose of the Glasgow exhibition, on the other side, is to depict the national life and history of Scotland, and any surplus will be devoted to the establishment of a chair of Scottish history and literature in the University of Glasgow. Prof. Glaister, of the University, who has taken a leading part in this movement, gave an interesting resume of the principal exhibits in the historical section at a luncheon given the other day. Scottish art, from the very beginning of pictorial presentation, is represented by many priceless works. Scottish . architecture is revealed in pictures of many notable castles and mansions. Memorials of Wallace, Robert the Bruce, Mary. Queen of Scots, and others notable in Scottish history are on view for the first time, and a unique collection of Burns and Scott MSS. first editions and personal memorials, most of which have, never before been publicly exhibited, are collected here for study and observation, i The old burghal life of Scotland is represented by many quaint old houses, gathered together in on centre, and depicting the scene in which the forefathers of the race lived and did their daily task. - The costumes and other paraphernalia of the various , periods are worn and used, while a vivid pageant of Scottish rural life and indusary is given as typical of present day scenes. Highland peasant industries are seen in operation in this extremely well-designed village. Relics of the Scottish Antarctic expeditions of Dr. Bruce and other trophies of Scotland's triumphs in science, "marine engineering, and other industries are fully represented, and a special section is devoted to the display of the achievement of Scotland's greatest ' scientific genius, Lord Kelvin. ' ' . , . Many historical pageants, depicting stirring scenes in the troubled and often tragic history of the nation are in preparation. For two days this summer, that of the coronation and the day after, London will be a wide awake modern city for instead of all traffic and life disappearing from the -streets shortly after midnight, tubes, busses and street cars will run day and night. At the close of the evening traffic on He the great ncrity are a9 due

June 21st,- the underground lines will shut down for an hour.

On June ,23rd, the service will be continued until -2 o'clock in the morning, and again on the following Thursday, when the state procession takes place. In connection with the elaborate arrangements made for the protection of Westminister Abbey from fire during the Coronation period a party of firemen have just made a tour of inspection. The 31 hydrants in the building all . connected with a huge tank in one of the towers were tested and found in perfect order. Special telephones connected with the nearest fire stations have been installed. While the Coronation ceremony is proceeding special firemen will be

placed at fixed points in all parts of the building, each being within reach of an electrical fire alarm signal attached to the regular fire alarm pedestal on the ground floor. The charms of mysticism and occultism got so strong a hold upon tbe prosiac people of London that occult scientists here have taken unto themselves a habitation and a home, for in the very midst of West End life I unexpectedly discovered the International Club for Psychical Research in the making. - It is brought into being as the result of a successful effort to get together into one nucleus the various units of progressive and experimental thought which today constitute the psychical, spiritist and stiritual Interests of society. " A very fine list of foundation members exists, and they will have the advantage besides other club gains of consulting a most up-to-date Occult library, of holding long series of experimental seances on the club premis es where systematic arrangements are to be made for the development of promising mediums and of attending the eires of lectures that is to be given. The result of their inter-communication and of the experiments to be conducted at the club house .will be published regularly to the members, who are not limited to the list already circulated, but will be supplemented by the town, country, and overseas' members, who are now invited to join the new club.

KNOCKOUT BLOW TO 2 CENT FARE LAW Interstate Commerce Favors Petition of Railway Companies.

Washington. May 20. The Indiana 2 -cent fare law was dealt a smashing blow by the Interstate Commerce commlsion Friday. In a decision affecting eqtally the operation of the 2-cent fare statutes of Indiana. IUionois, Ohio and' Michigan the Interstate Commerce commission rendered it impossible tor passengers traveling across these states or any two of them, to buy through tickets at a cost of 2 cents a mile, but requires the passenger to pay tne nigner cnarge nxea ny ine railroads for through passengers. In other words, the Indiana 2-cent fare law is made entirely Inoperative by the commission's decree. In so far as , it might otherwise have any applies-,1 tion to interstate passenger rates. In the future unless the courts step in and make the 2-centfare laws apply to interstate as well as to Intrastate passenger traffic, the traveler who buys a through ticket will have to pay -more than the sum total of local tick ets under the 2-cent rate. Example Shows Difference. As a concrete example, counting the ' distance between Columbus, O.. and St. Louis at approximately 400 miles.; the passenger who buys a ticket from Columbus to St, Louis will have to pay at least $10 for It, while by buying local tickets from Columbus to Richmond, Richmond to Terre Haute, and from Terre Haute to St. Louis, the fare would be approximately $8, the passenger thus obtaining a reduc tion of 92. If the railroads should charge S cents a" mile for through tickets, as ; they may under the decision, the dif-' ference would be $4 instead of $2. The decision rendered today has been awaited eagerly by railroad companies all over the country. It is the first decree on the subject, and will be the basis for all future decisions where similar questions are involved. It means that a 2-cent fare statute can have no posible bearing on railroad rates outside of the state In which it is enacted. . Forty-nine Roads Petition. The petitioners in this case ; were forty-nine railroad companies, many of which have lines running through ' Indiana, and all of which operate thrnnch f!ntrl PnSAnarer Aaanciatlnn territory. CENSUS CLERKS DO HOT LIKE CHARITY Spurn Ice Cream Given Them : by Women's Organization Can Buy It. Washington, May 20. Fifty gallons of perfectly good Ice cream went to waste in the corridors of the Census Bureau while 1,200 women clerks bit their , lips and said they would have none of It; not they. They are not objects of charity, and they want everybody to. know It. And in way of emphasis neaUy booted feet were put down with a degree of petulance, which Indicated that whatever the sacrifice, whatever the suffering, the women Intended to abide by their decision. Clerks Object to Pity. The Ice cream was purchased by the women's welfare department of the National Civic Federation, but the census clerks did not consider that they were to be pitied. In fact, they consider their condition a cause for envy, and say they do not ask anyone to improve it. After their Indignation had cooled not however, as a result of eating the ice cream the women clerks drew up ivivvi vruvu suc sjaio uub AVi JfUVlt cation. Able to Buy Own Cream. "Doubtless the good ladies thought they were doing a great and gracious action , in alleviating the suffering: of the poor working women of the census bureau' the letter said. "But allow us to voice our sentiments and state that we are perfectly able to buy ice cream for ourselves and . resent being: treated like factory hands in need of charity. "May we suggest to these dear ladies that If they have money to give away they buy ice cream for the penniless poor of Washington whose suffering during the hot weather must be terrible, and who receive less help than the poor of any other great city." "We want aid from no one," said a leader among the clerks, "and it is a slur and an insult to offer us charity." Sir James Cricbton Browne, the well known ; London doctor, recently paid a compliment to the nurses employed in the asylums, and remarked that if young scions of the nobility must marry women outside : of their class the asylum nurses were well acquainted with mental foibles and would on the whole make better wires than gayety chorus girls.
