NO MATCH For YERKEs.
MOrgan's English Lawyer Got Little
Comfort from the ChicaSoan.

Comfort from the
LONDON, May S.-There have been some
interesting developments in the battle be-
tween the American millionaires for the
control Of London's rapid-transit system.
One feature. that stands out more than
any other, is Charles T. Yerkes's ability
to beat English lawyers at their own game.
Counsel for Morgan's projected tube"
line had Mr.. Yerkes on the stand before
the House of Lords committee for an hour
or so one day this week.
Mr.. Yerkes sat passive, ingeniously an
swering or lodging questions relating to
the financial plans of his own syndicate.
Finally he calmly remarked to COUNSEL:
81 lave been listening TO your explana-
tions of this matter" at which counsel hur-
riedly corrected the witness by declaring
he had only been asking questions, but
Mr.. Yerkes, imperturbable and amusing the
committee, continued: "It seems to me
that you have certain Information which
1 myself at this moment do not possess"
With a smile Mr.. Yerkes admitted that
he was largely interested in the financial
and operating departments of the new
road, and, without a trace of apparent
malice, he added: "I do not care to teach
kindergarten schools here"
The MorganS had questioned the correct
ness of the figures upon which Mr.. Yerkes
based the returns of his system, but Mr..
Yerkes blandly waved aside such details,
saying he had not his notes. He would.
however, be delighted to solve the sums
in arithmetic submitted to him by oppOs-
ing counsel If they would allow him TO
bring notes referring to such abstruse mat
tiers from his office. Finally the Chicagoan
was dismissed, somewhat disgustedly, with
the remark: "AS you do not want to be
sent back to school / will not ask you any
more questions" and Mr.. Yerkes went
out, smiling grimly.

BERLIN, May S.-The proposition of the
Lubec Radicals that all middle-class
parties unite in the candidacy Of Prince
Henry of Prussia and elect him a member
of the Reichstag at the next general cleo
ton, hoping to Dust the Socialist member,
does not receive serious treatment outside
of Lubec. The general opinion is that it
is impossible for Prince Henry 10 accept
the candidacy. He has never taken part in
politics. His grandfather, while Prince of
Prussia, was elected to the Diet from Wir-
sits, but he refused 10 sit. A general meet
ing of the electors of Lubec has been called
for May Z to decide whether to officially
offer Prince Henry the candidacy.

ON THE VERG- Or SUCCESS


The Easy steward and the Auda-

A man walked into one Of the up
town college clubs one morning and sat
down In the smoking room. His air Of
assurance was hardly in accord with
his tattered clothes. 1t was early, and
none Of the members was about. He
rang the bell. and the steward re-
sponded.
1T seems good to get back into the
club again." he remarked.
Eyes, SIR" said the steward.
II used to be q member here, but I've
had hard luck and can't afford it any
longer"
Eyes, sir; I'm sorry, sir" said the
steward.
"By the way, I'm a little short Of car
fare this morning." said the nervy
stranger. "Could you let me have ten
cents until I call here again?"
The surprised steward reached into
his pocket and handed out a dime.
"Thank you," said the man. "Now,
I'm also a little hungry, having had no
breakfast. Do you suppose you could
gather me up a little luncheon
The steward was stupeied by such q
display of nerve.
"And a little whisky with a dash of
bitters would not 60 badly with the
food"
The steward fed as one Of the men,

new arrival and rose hastily.
II am too early for my friend" he
said as he walked toward the door.
II will return later" Then he added
in an undertone, which the doorboy
heard: "Too bad, too bad! That stew
ard was easy. He'd given me the club
II I'd asked for 1t. It's a wonder those
members wouldn't stay away" The
man OF nerve walked down the street
with his head bowed In deep thought.
"How to get that luncheon without
paying for 1t" was his theme.-New
