conclusion that we can't prohibit saloons. but re-
form them. and let them stay"
And how you going 10 do that?" asked q
Tammany politician who had happened in.

so you think that is better than prohibition"
asked a minister who had recently come from
Maine to the city.
I certainly do" was the answer. You haven't
stopped drinking in Maine have you? In the cities
the police are often found using a prohibitory
law as means Of bIackmail If men are going to
drink you can't stop them by laws, and if they
need the social side of saloon, why not make the
saloon attractive and its influences as clean as
possible?"
no, they haven't stopped drinking in Maine"
said the minister, and I the tendency both
there and in other prohibition States is toward local
option, the same as you have in NewYork State"
It's the man who has never entered saloon,
and who knows nothing about it, that won't hear
Of anything but prohibition said the settlement
worker.

PRICELESS RECORDS ARE

most incredible is the scandalous way in
which the local records OF this country.
which are the potential material of much
or the unwritten history Of Great Britain,
have been treated by local authorities. Ex-
traordinary reading is a report Just pub
hshed by committee appointed some time
ago to inquire into the matter. Here are
some instances:
Both Great Torrington and Derby saw fit
to burn their records. Some of Piymoutt's
were destroyed by an incendiary. The
Abingdon Town Council, finding its store
rooms too small for present needs, made
big bonfire and has now the records Of only
the past thirty years.
But the search for missing records re-
suited in some wonderful recoveries Many
records of Winchester, missing longer than
any one could remember, were recovered
from old boxes in a Solicitors office. Some
others were found III a lumber-room in a
public house, where they had been left In
pawn by drunken overseer. In one par
ish an assistant commissioner was just In
time to prevent Wears daughter de-
stroyinG as useless lumber box full of
old deeds relating to old but still existing
charities.
The committee refers at considerable
length to its discovery of carelessness in
tho keeping Of the registers CT births. mar
riages and deaths. 1t found that it was
qaite common TO dispose OF old registers to
tradespeopie for wrapping up goods, or to
be put into patterns by country dressmak-
ers and tailors.

When He First Saw the Beautiful

She Was Yoked to
q PlOw.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Quebec, Quebec, Nov. 22.-Confirmation has
just reached here from England OF the truth
of the story that Arthur Fortescue, nephew
OF the Duke Of Portland. has renounced the
world of luxury for the sake Of Canadian
peasant girl whom he first saw In western
Manitoba yoked to plow with number
of other Doukhobor women.
For the greater part Of his life Fortescue
has been q rover. He first came to CANADA
few months ago. and, while In quebec,
became deeply interested in what he heard
and read of the peculiarities OF the Domin-
IONS Doukhobor settlers.
He set out to visit the colony and was
deeply impressed by the simplicity OF the
life led by these peasants.
On one of his drives through the co.ony
Fortescue saw a plow in a field drawn by a
score of women. He had already been
aware of the fact that the peculiar BELIEF
OF these strange people does not permit
them TO enslave dumb animals. 1t was
revelation to him to see women harnesseo
like brutes 10 plow.
Among the score Of women drawing the
plow was a peasant girl of striking beauty.
He did not rest until he had discovered her
identity and had been guided to her humble
home.
There he learned that she was Ola varin-
hon. He was not slow TO confess his love.
and was soon recorded as a member OF the
strange colony whose customs he had come
to study.
Fortescue wrote to one of his closest
friends In England. telling him of his inten-
ton TO adopt the life of Russian peasants
in Canada. Dissuasion proved powerless
and the wedding ceremony was not long de-
iayed. They were made husband and wife
according to the strange rites OF the COM
munity.
The young man. who is an honor grad
uate of Oxford and was well known in UNI
versity athletic circles. willingly surren-
dered fortune and a possible title for tho
girl whom he had found harnessed to a
plow. He declares he will never return to
England.

Berlin. Nov. 22-CCopyright. lS0c).-A ire
inendous sensation was caused in Berlin to-
night by the announcement of the sudden
death OF Privy Councillor f. A Krupp, the
famous Cannon King OF Essen" at the
villa Huegel at Essen.
The general opinion here is that his death
was not due to a paralytic stroke as an
nounced at Essen. but was suicide.
Several days ago the Norwaerts made
charges against him which were reproduced
IN Essen In the Arbeiter-Zeitung. charging
Herr Krupp with unnatural depravity while
soiourning at his villa at Capri, near Ma
pies
1t was alleged that the italian Minister of
the Interior ordered Herr Krupp to leave
the Island.
The Italian Minister'S deniel was pub
ushed here this morning. Herr KrIpi
brought legal proceedings against the Vor
waerts ard the police conflscated the issue
containing the sensational charges.
Herr Krupp's secretary issued a state
ment yesterday denying the charge and at
tributing It to enemies of Herr krupp al

year. Herr Krupps company will carry on

family of the little village of Essen, which
at the close OF the Eighteenth Century at
tracted the attention of metallurgical ex-
perts.
His grandfather, Friedrich. during the
continental blockade. discovered the secret
OF making steel. but his small fortune was
consumed In perfecting the invention. and
ii was his son, Alfred Krupp. who gave
decisive stimulus to the business.
The secret was transmitted to Alfred's
son. Friedrich. and the krupps became the
worlds gunmakers.
In 1889 Friedrich Krupp the elder, had
met with such reverses that he was COM
PEELED to give up his home il Lmbecker
street in Essen and move into a little cot
tage near his works, which stands to-day in
the midst OF the great works. an object Of
reverence to ali the thousands of workmen
who earn their daily bread in the great
foundries.
Friedrich Krupp's life was purely one OF
experiment and discovery. and it re-
manned for his son, Alfred Krupp, to make
the name world-famous.
Broken down by reverses, with hope
abandoned and health wrecked, Friedrich
Krupp died on October s. 1926. Before he
