Kaiser Is Much Panied by Recent At
tack Upon Himself

Berlin, March 23-In the lower house
Of the diet today President Won Kroecher
communicated the result of his audience
with Emperor William yesterday when
the officers of the reichstag and diet ex-
pressed the indignation experienced by
the members of their respective houses
at the recent outrage at Bremen His
majesty said to President Won Kroecher
that he was sorely panied by the out
rage because it convinced him that since
the death of Emperor William ]. re-
speot for the authorities had decreased
among the people, particularly among
the youth. The emperor thought that
every body without distinction should
share in the blame for the present con-
ditions- He considered that the press
should be a potent instrument in up
holding the authorities and he was con-
fideut that the deputies Of all parties
would do all in their power to see the
necessary steps taken to assure the full
MEASURE of respect for the authorities

public library. a piece called when the
Folders i'm the Shock
Mr.. Stone is a native of Kansas and
some months ago he set about to poF-
tray a Kansas scene, and how well he
has succeeded may only be determined
after viewing the canvas. The piece
hangs on the north wall Of the library
room surrounded with the works Of
several eminent artists and yet It
loses nothing in comparison
The painting shows a farmer in the
fare ground bending over a pile Of corn
pushing out the ripened ears. Beyond
stretching out in the hazy distance are
the rows Of shocks of corn. The scene
is lighted by the sun Of a bright autumn
day There Is no harsh display Of
colors but a true and artistic blending
1t is well worth ones while to visit the
library to see this latest addition.
