KAISER AS A SPORTSMAN.
Is an Enthusiastic Hunter and Yachts
man and Lover of Tennis.


The German emperor is the first
monarch of this country who takes an
intense interest in sports. Some years
ago the kaiser uttered the words our
future lies on the water" This cate
gorical sentence was and Lad pure
ly political and economic bearing
which spread through the world.
All kinds of water sports are greatly
encouraged by the kaiser. The Ber-
liners cannot imagine regatta at
Grunau without having the kaiser
there What is said of the Grunau re-
gatta is equally true of the Keller
week and of Other north German re-
gattas. If all of these have become in
ternational it is due TO the initiative
of the kaiser The ordering of Il yacht
in America is only an instance of the
interest which the kaiser takes in
yachting, as is also the sending of
Vice Admiral Sender Bibran to En-
gland to arrange for the race between
Heligoland and Dover. and his invita-
ton to the English yachtsmen to par.
ticipate in the race.
1t is well known that the kaiser
from early youth has been Il passion
ate hunter. Besides, he is an excel
lent lawn-tennis player and at .Lonbi-
jou for years has practced the game
on the grounds adjoining his castle.
His interest IN automobilism, how
ever, is of recent date. He is an en-
thusiastic chauffeur and has ordered
sixteen-horse-power Mercedes coach.
Neither the turf nor bicycle have
ever attracted the kaiser 1t is an
open secret that while his uncle OH
the English throne takes an interest
in racing. the kaiser cares little about
the turf and visits the race track ut
Hoppegarten but once a year OH the
so-called army day.
All those who have met the German
kaiser, says the Berlin correspondent
of the New York Commercial Adver-
tiser. be they Americans or those Of
other nationaltes. are charmed by
his attractive personality. The most
recent expression of this is by Coque-
lin. the great French comedian. who
was received in audience by the kaiser
at the schloss in Berlin during his re-
cent engagement here. Count Hoch-
berg, the intendant of the royal thea
tiers, accompanied the great actor. The
conversation lasted a half-hour. Coo
uelin was very enthusiastic in speak
ing of the comprehensive knowledge
and deep insight shown by the kaiser
as to the arts and life in general and
Of his simple, unassuming way His
command of French is perfect and
quite like that of Persian

week work all be commenced on the
enlargement and extension of the Great
Northern docking facilities at Smiths
cove to accommodates the rapidly increas-
ing shipping business of the line at this

two wharves to thirty-four feet, filling in
of portions of the tide land on which the
warehouses stand, the erection OF stone
and pile seawalls to hold the filled lands
in place and the extension of both
wharves into the hav until they reach
the harbor lines of f lott bay.
Dredging and the erection OF the sea-
walls will be commenced Immediately.

NO IMMEDIATE RELIEF.
Beef Trust Fight May Be Long Drawn-"Don't
Eat Moat'' Movement Growing.


Chicago, April 2s.-Special Attorney
Day and United States District Attorney
Bethea continued work yesterday on the
preparations for making war on the So
called beef trust. There are no indica-
tons that bill of injunction will be filed
this week.
Contrary to expectation, the federal
officers will not ask for immediate relief.
1t may be 80 days before the injunction
is issued, if at all. Instead of asking for
temporary restraining order, a perma-
nent injunction will be applied for. Co
ing through the usual routine, it would
be a: Leaf three months before decision
would be reached by court. BY that time
the grass cattle will have come into the
market, relieving the present situation
and forcing natural reduction in prices.
The news is causing wide dissatisfaction
here, as the belief has been prevalent
that immediate relief would result for
the market-ridden people of this citv.
Workingmen are discussing the Don't
eat meat" agreements, and it may be
that several labor organizations will act
in the matter urging their members to
agree to other diets to compel lowering
of the markets.
The packers are feeling the fight made
against them in this line, hut the loss is
not a striking blow, as the surplus of
meat being brought in is turned into the
canneries and in this manner put away.
The retailers are the ones who suffer the
greatest loss through the diminishing OF
the market sales.

FOR POSTAL CURRENCY.
Author Of the Measure Urges Action by the
House Committee.


Washington, April 29.-The committee
of postal and treasury experts iAvesti-
eating the question of establishing a
postal currency met yesterday, but adj
journed without action. CIV. Post, the
author of the postal currency bill, ex.
planned the measure and urged that the
people needed some means for immediate
RENTING of postal currency, and said
any plan that calls for going to the post
Office to send or receive such currency
was impracticable. For this reason, he
commended, the pending plan, which has
been endorsed by the Newspaper Pub
fishers Association, should supplant the
money order or postal notes. Supt Met.
calfe, of the money order system, OBJ.
jected to the form Of the plan, but not to
Its general scheme. lie conceded that
some measure was necessary by which
currency would be obtainable at ones
door, as it were, but said the division of
the business between the treasury and
postoffice departments was impractical
BILE. He offered in it's stead postotfice
department project, which he thought
would better answer the purpose. His
scheme is adapted from the postal notes
system OF Germany, France and Canada.
Great Britain, he said, issues 7O,O0O,000
OF these postal notes, against IL ,OOO,O

A NARROW ESCAPE.
Mr.. johnson Was Not Killed by His
Terrible Fall.

1t seemed certain that Mr.. johnson
had suffered severely. He had fallen
from the third story while engaged in
cleaning windows. The evening paper
said it was feared that he was injured
internally. and when little George Wash
ington johnson went up the alley that
evening whistling cheerfully. as his
wont was, and Mrs. Mayberry called
to him from her kitchen window, she
was Mortified to learn the full extent of
the calamity.
"Yes'm." said George, with ANNA
tion pa he done broke his back"
The whistle was resumed as the little
negro replaced his cap and went on.
but Mrs. Mayberry excused his insen-
siLilty on the ground of his youth.
Mr.. Johnson the janitor of the "Leav-
enworth." was good husband and
father. as we'll rs a sober, hardwork-
ing man. and it made Mrs. Mayberry
sad that he should die before his chill
dren were able to appreciate him. And
what would the mother and the six
boys and girls do without him! Mrs.
Mayberry began to plan Il neighbor-
hood subscription to pay the funeral
expenses, at least. and perhaps give the
family start toward independence.
1t was still early in the following
forenoon when the maid called her to
the kitchen to receive the elaborate
courtcsips of Ida Sophronia johnson,
aged - years.
PA sent me. Mis- Mayberry." Ida
Sophronia explained. could you please
let him have some photographers or old
magazines to look at? He says it's
terrible to have to lay still and smell
carbide acid"
Mrs. Mayberry hastily made up an
attractive package. "IIow is your faith
er this morning." she asked.
Il dunno but his arms brOke-too.'
Ida Sophronia responded. thoughtfully.
when | was at de hospital dis mornin'
dey'd strapped up shelf thing cross
his bed. so t he wouldn't have to hold
anything in his hand"
At that moment visitors from a dis
lance arrived, and Mrs. Mayberry had
to forego the many questions she want
ed to ask. The guests. in fact, crowded
the Johnsons completely out of her
mind for twenty-four hours, so that
she felt spasm of sefreproach when
one of her own children mentioned the
injured man next day.
''Mr Johnson came home from the
hospital in a hack" the boy told her.
HE said they starved him there"
Poor man" breathed Mrs. Mayber-
ry, pityingfy. Il suppose he felt that
he'd rather die at home. | must see
what can do for them Tomorrow"
So on the morrow she loaded bas-
ket with things good to eat. and situa-
BILE for an invalid. and started for the
"LeavenwOrth." two blocks distant,
in the basement Of which the janitor
and his family lived. She dreaded to
60, fearing almost that she might walk

hension was needless. however. HaH-
way between her home and the apa,l
ment house she met Mr.. johnson him
self, walking almost as jauntily as
usual.
Mrs. Mayberry dropped her basket
