FRACTURE WAS CAUSED BY
FALL FROM A STUMBLING
HORSE.

Berlin, March 27.-The empress

Grunwald forest this morning.
The empress, who was accompani-
ed by Prince Adelbert, her third son,
and her suite, was assisted to the
hunting lodge after her fall and a sur
geon was telegraphed for, with the
result that a physician was sent to
the lodge in an automobile, which
was driven at the highest speed.
The empress fell heavily. Emper-
or William, who was nea at hand,
was among the first to reach her side
and assisted her to rise. The imper-

New Orleans, March 27.-With the
water roaring through the break and
spreading over a wide area, the ends
of the crevasse near Lucy were re-
ported today to be slowly crumbling.
Lumber was scarce at the scene,
but a special train got away before
daylight with a large consignment Of
material and planters have hurried
hands from all directions to the scene.
The crevasse occurred in a bend of
the river and that will add to the
difficulty of the repair work. Sew

ready been overlooked.
The flood will find it's way to the
gulf through Lake Salvador, Little
lake and other channels. Oyster beds
are likely to suffer, but there is alb
solutely no danger of loss of life.

Officials Claim to Have Acted With
Great Delicacy.
London, March 27.-The funeral of
General Macdonald will be private,
because it is the custom in the Brit
ish army not to accord military hon
ors to an officer who has committed
suicide. The war Office has issued
ar explanation that it is in accord
ance with the wishes Of the dead Of
ficer's relatives that the funeral will
take place in Paris. It is understood
that throughout the affair the war
Office acted with the utmost delicacy
toward Sir Hector Macdonald.

BIC LIVERY BARN BURNED
ALL HORSES ARE SAVED WITH.
OUT DIFFICULTY.
Harness and Carriages Go With the
Building Which Is Total
Loss.

Fort Benton, March 27.-The large
livery stable owned by George F.
Lewis & Son was totally destroyed
by fire at an early hour this morning.
The cause of the fire is not definitely
known, but it originated in a sleeping
room on the second floor over the Of
flee and it is thought a lamp left burn
ing in the room was overturned by a
cat or that an overheated stove was
the cause
The only occupant of the building
at the time was Frank Hadley, who
was sleeping in the Office and was
awakened by the articles in the room
above falling to the floor. A hasty
investigation showed the room full of
flames. which burst out when the door
opened and spread rapidly to the hay
loft and to the lower part Of the
structure. Hadley attempted to give
the alarm by telephone, but was un-
able to get an alarm in, and went to
nearby houses calling for help, after
which he returned to the barn and
had time to cut loose the horses
fastened inside, and with the help
that came soon, succeeded in getting
out a small portion of harness and a
few of the vehicles.
The Horses Escape.
All of the horses escaped, but a
great amount of harness was burned,
besides several carriages, 10 or Is
IONS of hay and a specially built coal
wagon which was standing IN the out
side filled with three tons of coal.
The building was a frame n and
the water supply was inefficient and
was of no use except in protecting
buildings in the same block.
The loss is particularly unfortunate
as it is only Is months ago that Mr..
Lewis lost his residence by fire, there
being no insurance, and his home was
only recently rebuilt. The insurance
carried by Mr.. Lewis on the barn was
81 1000, which will enable him to re-
';uild in the old location or buy a
suitable building at once.

OF THE PRESS
LONDON PAPERS COMPLIMENT
Mr., WYNDHAM.
But Hesitate to Express Definite
Opinion on the Merits Of the
Land Bill.

London, March 26.-The London
papers in their comments on yester-
days proceedings in the house of COM
mons universally compliment Mr..
Wyndham; but they hesitate to ex-
press a definite opinion on such q
complex measure without having a
fuller acquaintance with it on the
ground that it's success depends Who'll
ly upon the nature and working of
the complicated details. All the
papers agree, however, that although
the bill will place a burden on the
British taxpayer, it will be we'll worth
the money if the objects are attained.
The Times says: IF the Irish land
lords and tenants consider that Mr..
Wyndham's plan satisfies to a reason
able extent the expectations that were
aroused a few months ago, W. do not
believe the people of the United King
dom will show a niggardly spirit in
giving the financial aid needed to
afford the attempt to relieve the grave
difficulty in the path of the imperial
policy"
Among a host of guarded opinions
the feeling that is thus expressed by
the Times is prominent in the COM
ments of all the papers. The Stand
ard dwells on the fact that the chief
secretary for Ireland in a %unionist
cabinet introducing a land bill should
receive such universal and convincing
tokens of good will.
The Daily Telegraph believes the
bargain will be an excellent one, and
one which the country will receive
with a sense of positive relief.
The liberal Daily News congratu-
lates Mr.. Wyndham and the govern
ment on the holiness with which
they have faced an absolutely vital
issue.
The conservative Morning Post
thinks it is unlikely that the appoint
ment of Mr.. Wrench as one of the
estate commissioners will satisfy any
party in Ireland, and regrets that
such an appointment should be ex-
posed to the risk OF objection.

Breaks With Crash.

.Ht.
Greenville, Miss, March 27.-With
a tremendous crash the levee four
miles south Of Greenville gave away
at II o'clock today and great quaint
tiles OF water are now pouring
through a 300-foot crevasse rapidly
flooding the most fertile land in the
great Yazoo delta. Major Sears, in
charge of the government engineers
office here, says it is the worst break
ever experienced on the Mississippi
side and he states that the whole
delta from Greenville to Vicksburg
will be flooded. This is the first
break reported on the Mississippi
side during the present high water.

ed upon motives Of charity or philan-
thrcphy on the part of the republic;
Superintendent WEIGH then com.
pares the Anaconda teachers to the
anthracite miners in Pennsylvania.
He says that the teachers only need
to demonstrate as clearly to the salts
faction of the American public the
value of their services and prove that
they are underpaid and the same pub
lie will inevitably respond. Continu-
ing he says:
Must Be Constructive.
"The teachers efforts to better
their material conditions like their
efforts to raise the intellectual and
moral tone of the community through
the school must be first, last and
always constructive"
He speaks Of the teachers Of Chi
cago joining the Chicago Federation
Of Labor and says that it was the con-
viction Of these truths that led them
to do so.
In conclusion Mr.. WEIGH says:
"The aus of the teacher is the
cause of the children. Freedom
from ARE and worry. overwork and
under pay for the teacher mean bet
ter educators and these mean better
'educations for the children. The
cause of the teacher as teacher can
never be lost in the cause of teacher
as worker and so the teacher has a
double claim to the sympathy and sup
port of organized workers laboring to
for all a higher standard of
living. And the public school teach
more than any one in the COM
munity owes to organized labor in
telligent sympathy and cooperation
in it's struggle to uplift humanity"

This belief, however, is hardly borne

SUICIDES BE PRIVATE.

TdIIS, MARCH li.-lue DOuy OIL
Major General Sir Hector Macdonald,
who committed suicide here yester-
day, was removed today to the Brit
ish mortuary chapel, where it will
await shipment to it's final resting
place in Scotland. The French law
requires that the bodies of suicides
be taken to the morgue, but owing to
the urgent desire of the British Of
ficials that the body of the distinguish
ed officer be not deposited in the pub
lie morgue, the usual legal require
ment was waived.
Have No Letters.
1t was said at the British embassy
that no orders had been received from
London concerning the disposition of
the body and it is expected that the
family of the deceased will make the
final arrangements. Both the officials
of the British embassy and the con
sulate general Of Great Britain dis
claim any knowledge of the exist
ence of the letters which we're re-
ported to have been found in the room
where the general killed himself.
Mr.. Inglis, the British consul gen
eral, said to the Associated Press cor
respondent:
81 have been personally assured by
the commissary of police that no such
letters have been found"
Shielding His Memory.
There is evidently a desire on the
part of the official to shield the mem
DRY of the general out of sympathy for
his family.
Efforts were taken today to trace
the letters and documents received
by Major General Macdonald from
the var Office shortly before his sui
eide. as it was thought they might
throw light on the motive, but the
magistrate who has taken charge of
the dead mans effects says no let
tiers or documents were found except
some unintelligible scribbling which
would indicate that the writer was in
a dazed condition. AS a number of
letters from the wal Office were de-
livered to him last Wednesday and
Thursday, the authorities conclude
that the general prepared for his end
by first destroying the letters.
Received an Ultimatum.
The Fargo asserts that one of the
letters. received by Sir Hector Mac
Donald from the war Office on We'd
nesday morning vas an ultimatum
ordering him to leave forthwith for
Ceylon, thus destroying his last hope
Of a reconsideration of his case by
the wal authorities in England. The
fact, however, that the general took
his life soon after he was observed
scanning two newspapers published
in English, giving the charges against
him and publishing a portrait of him
is taken as indicating that pain at the
publicity rather than any action by
the British wal Office determined his
act.

RELIEVED OF HIS STAR:
Helena Polio >man Refuses to Make
Arrest,

Arrest.
Helena, March 27.-Policeman King
was relieved Of his star last night by
Chief of Police Thomas Travis, be-
cause citizens complained that the
officer had refused to make an arrest
when requested to do SO, and one
which, it is alleged, it was clearly his
duty to make. King was working tenn
porarily in the place of Charles Mack
ey, who asked for a lay-off for a few
days.
When een tonight Chief Travis
stated that it was a fact that he had
taken the patrolman's star from him,
and that he had done SO upon the com.
plant Of a citizen who had requested
King to make an arrest, which he re-
fused to do. The chief would not
make public the name of the man who
entered the complaint, nor would he
say what the nature of the offenses
was for which the arrest was desired.
'"The officer refused to do his duty"
said Travis, I" and l took his star and
released him from further service. He
is not one of our regular men, but
was working in the place of Officer
Charles Mackey, who desires a rest
for a few days.
"As yet l have not investigated the
matter. and do not know full par
ticulars. Until l do I will not give the
officer any undue publicity"
Although the chief would not make
a statement as to the alleged offense,
it is said that a gambling game was
in progress, and that the citizen re-
quested him to arrest the players. He
refused to do so, and the matter was
at nee reported to the chief. So far
as is known, NO arrests were made.
Chief Travis stated that he would
give the matter his immediate atten-
ton.

LEGENDS THAT WILL LIVE.

Kansas City Journal: 1t makes no
difference what proof to the contrary
is offered, the American people will
always believe and maintain that Ra-
leigh once lived in Virginia, that Put
nam crawled into a den OF wild
wolves, that Paul Revere saved his
country by a ride, and that Barbara
Freitchie dared the rebels just as
poets have written; that Funston did
actually swim the Calumpit, and that
Roosevelt charged up the hill in the
battle at San Juan in the very way
that Verestchagin puts it. These
things can no longer be considered
as matters in dispute or points of con.
troversy in our history. The belief in
them is as deeply imbedded in the
hearts OF all Americans as is the be
lief that Washington never lied or
wor and that Mrs. Leary's COW kick,
ed over the lamp which caused the big
fire in Chicago.
