The fact that the public was excluded
from witnessing the ceremony Of laying
the corner StoEe of the Kaiser Wilhelm
monument last Saturday has caused much
. comment. and it is now understood that
this measure was due 10 the fact tbat sew
eral threatening letters had been sent TO
the Emperor the day before. and whose
authors the police Were unable 10 trace.
Berlin persuaded the Emperor 20 allow the
police to exclude the masses from the GER
emony.
Mr Louis Stern. Of New York. who was
recently sentenced 10 two weeks imprisOn-
nent anu fine of 500 marks for insulting
a German official at KiSSinSen. is now in
Paris, awaiting the result OF his appeal
to the Prince Regent of Bavaria 20 niti-
gate his sentence imprisonment and make
it another fine This appeal VIII bg pre-
sented by Mr. Stern's attorney on Tuesday.
The latest information which reaches
here, however, is to the effect that Prince
Luitpold is not likely to interfere directly
in the matter. as il is stated that informa-
ton has been received at the imperial
foreign office which, 1T is claimed, shows
that Mr.. Stern paid only half-fare for his
son on the steamer from New YORK. Edving
given his age as twelve years, while
he now claims the lad is fifteen years old.
1t was the question of the boys age, it
will be remembered, which led to his being
ordered from the dancing pavilion at KiS-
singer AMI which caused Mr. Stern to in
suit the official n charge
