THE soRDlD PRELlMINARlEs.

Announcement has been made that
the Duke of Roxburghe's legal adviser
has already set sail for this country to
settle the question OF marriage settle
ments in anticipation of the approach
ing marriage of the duke with Miss
May Goelet. 1t win be remembered
that the last international marriage
was disgraced by a most undignified
squabble between the relatives of the
girl who has sacrificed herself for a
coronet and the legal representative
of the man she welded. At the last
minute the man of law raised his
price and for FIVE minutes prior to
the ceremony It was debstable cues

celebrated per announcement.

WOULD BOULEVARD
WEST SEVENTH STREET
Final Order to Macadamize It to Be
Submitted to the Council.

Final order for the matchmaking Of
West Seventh street, from Tuscarora
street to Fort Smelling, will be sent to
the council in a few weeks, but before
doing so the board of public works will
endeavor to secure from the street car
company its consent to scheme Of
center boulevarding.
In order to lessen the cost of the i'm
provement to the property owners, the
board of aldermen, including Aid. Rob-
land, who is agitating the macadamiz-
ing of. the street, desires a boulevard
in the center of the street similar to
that on Summit avenue. This boule-
ward, which would be curbed, would
carry the tracks of the street car COM
pany and be maintained by 1t. On
each side there would be a twenty-foot
roadway and the sides would be pro-
tected by line of shade trees.
The street car company is under
stood to be opposed to the boulevard,
asserting that the sod would rot It's ties.
1t is willing to pay its share of macad-
amiZing, however.
Because of the low value Of property
along the line of the improvement the
matchmaking must be made as cheap
as possible, and to obtain it the center
boulevard is being advocated.
The park board also wants the boule-
ward, as it says Seventh street will be
the entrance to two of it's most i'm
portant projects, the Mississippi river
and Lexington avenue parkways.

Fifty years ago such a thing as a

themselves with the simple pleasures
that fell to their lot in their daily in

have asked for a vacation in those
days would have lost his situation.

work himself in his daily grind and to
be so exhausted at the end as to be alb

SAUSAGE WAS FATAL
That Is All w. p. p. Mcconnell
Expects to Learn.

AFTER two months of waiting and I'M
certainty, State Dairy and Food Commits
Sioner Mcconnell expects to receive a
report today from the state health de-
partment as to the scientific inquiry into
the death of Irene F'latgaard, one of the
two children who died at Bergen, sup
posedly from the effects of poison in
sausage which they had eaten.
And Mr.. Mcconnell fears that after he
has received the report he will be no
wiser as to the cause of the death of the
children than he has been at any time
since his personal visit to Bergen, i'm
med1ately after the occurrence.
A report of the death of the two chill
dren Irene Flatgaard and her older
brother was made to the dairy and food
department about two months ago, and
Mr.. Mcconnell went the next day to Ber-
gen; He learned there that the entire
Flatgaard family consisting of the father
and mother and a nursing infant beside
the two children who mad died, had been
severely i'll with such symptoms as to
indicate that they had been poisoned by
something they had eaten. Further in
qu1ry showed that the mother and father
and the two deceased children had eaten
sausage which came from Mankato and
it was believed this sausage contained
some kind of poison.
Mr.. Mcconnell succeeded in obtai lining
portions of the sausage, which he sent
to the laboratory of the state board Of
stomach of the child. Irene, sent to the
laboratory for analysis
Inquiry from time to time since then

Council had a conversation by telephone
with DR.. Wesbrook who is in charge of
the work there. OF his interview with
DR.. Wesbrook. Mr.. Mcconnell said to
7 h e G l o b e:
"Dr. Wesbrook has promised me that
he will mail report today. which I will
receive some time tomorrow, but reading
between the lines of his conversation I
am convinced that the report will show
nothing decisive. 1 am rather inclined
to believe that this matter has been neg
lected until now and the report has been
got UP in a hurry to get it out of the
way. 1 don't believe that we will be any
wiser after receiving the report than
We are already, and possibly the report
may even throw doubt upon our present
conclusions from such evidence as we
We're able to gather at Bergen"
DR.. WeSbrook was asked by T h e
G last evening as to the contents
of the report, but he positively refused
to make any statement as to that. He
said:
81 am under instructions from my
board not to make any statement or re-
port of such matters except to the board
or other proper authority. My formal
my regular report to the board at its
next quarterly meeting, and in the mean
time Mr.. Mcconnell will receive a re-
port I would prefer that you should go
to Mr.. Mcconnell for any information
you may desire and must decline to make
any statement as to the contents or ma
ture of the report.

passing of the amendment. With
bill Senator Carmack hopes to wipe
it off the constitution.
The South and Senator Carmack
have undertaken a pretty big task.
When the young Tennesseean hurls
his bill in the face of congress, it is
not unlikely that it may prove
bomb. And it's not improbable that
its explosion will destroy not only
this young exponent of Southern
Democracy" but Southern Democracy
itself. Unfortunately whatever else
the bill may destroy, it will not de-
stroy the problem. The pieces that
will come down will be sure
to rearrange themselves in "a new
and even more puzzling way.
And doubtless the fifteenth amend
since it was written there in the blood
of the North.
But it seems it is not Senator Car
mack's intention to precipitate con-
flict by demanding the immediate pas
sage of the bill. He anticipates de-
feat for a number of years to come.
But, with an enthusiasm worthy Of
better cause. he insists that he. sup
ported by the Southern Democracy,
will keep on introducing the bill un-
til the negro is disfranchised. In the
7, +; III lii
bring the negro problem before the
people definitely as problem. He
himself is in favor of their deporta-
ton only he cannot decide upon the
place to which they should be de-
ported.
There are many people who believe
that the negro problem can be solved
without the erasure of any part of the
fifteenth amendment. Indeed, there
are an exceeding large number of peo-
pie who are rather proud Of that
amendment. When Senator Carmack
shakes his bill in their faces these
will doubtless declare their prejudice
in favor of retaining the problem
amendment. That fifteenth amend
ment has rather fine sound. There is
something sonorous about those words
which provide that there shall be no
discrimination against a citizen of the
United States because of race, color
or previous condition of servitude.
And it's a safe assertion that the
majority Of people believe firmly that
this problem can be solved without
any tampering with the constitution
Senator Carmack and the Southern
Democracy had better give it another
try before they ask Uncle Sam to go
back on his word. For this bad habit
of going back on his word Is one that
Uncle Sam has never acquired and
you cannot teach an old dog new
tricks. Let us hope that Mr.. Car
mack will do with his bill what little
Bo Peeps sheep did with their taiIs+-
leave 1t behind him. .esa,i

WHERE THE DOCTORS DIFFER.

Edward f. Cragin is the last of the
experts to give his views of the prac-
ticability of an Isthmian canal, and
he writes the president that the Mic
aragua route Is the only feasible one
The public has not been informed
as to the right of Mr. Cragin to set
himself up as an expert. but, as he
says in his letter to the president, that
he was requested to give his views,
they are probably worthy of consider
alton. And the result of any sort of
thought that is given to what he says
is to make more cloudy the actual
conditions that surround the undertake
ing to which the United States is
committed.
We were convinced two years ago
that the committee which investigated
the conditions and which furnished the
basis for congressional action, was in
formed as to what might be DONE AS
matter of fact, substantial authori-
ties do not agree at all as to the en-
cheering possibilities. The more ex-
act the science of the investigator the
more likely is he to disagree with his
fellow scientist-who is just exact
and quite as positive. It is clear that
the president is still looking for light
1t is also clear that he intends to take
some sort of radical action and then
oSlx 70 ~ ~,
What the country wants is some
sort of action. There has been alto
gether too much dallying over the mat
ter. Either the ditch should be dug or
the project should be left alone. This
latter alternative is altogether out of
the question. We are quite decided
that canal should be constructed and
1t is useless to further exploit the opin-
ions of men who believe they see all
the objections. There is going to be
trouble enough getting the Colornbians
to accept the conditions that have been
offered them without going again into
the large subject of which is the most
desirable route. 1t is enough that it
has been shown that one of the routes
is practicable
Let US hope that the president will
follow the lines that have already been
drawn, and that the energies of the
authorities will be directed to bringing
the Colombians to terms rather than
to the discussion of other possible
routes

THE VERSATiLITY OF THE PORTE.
Nobody can with truth deny that the

What with shifting the Christians with

it might naturally be supposed that

would have little time for domestic af-

underrate the ability of Abdul. One

for his orders to his soldiers. The other
he keeps firmly fastened on domestic
affairs
proof Of his alertness is the dis
covery recently made The several
hundred women who are privileged to
call the Ottoman Sphinx, husband,
have been in the habit of enhancing
their loneliness with the same kind Of
rouge that many women of the Occi-
dent affect. For some time Abdul has
looked upon the rouge with suspicion.
Recently he has had 1t ana

confirmed. The paint contained

with his architects the plans for the

he is interested in all things, even cos

whether one tried ones food first on a

Perhaps this is the best solution of the

that there will be no man to worry a

have slapped the bridegroom elect on
the back and to have exclaimed, "Well
done, Roxeburghe," when he heard Of
the engagement. Therefore, while the
dukes legal representative may be
firm, it's a safe wager that he will
not be vulgar. And Miss Goelets
mother is something of diplomat her
self as well as a matchmaker. She will
permit no ugly rumors to float from
the conference chamber where the
price tag is being affixed to the ducal
coronet.
This matter of arranging the mar
riage settlements before the marriage
takes place is a common enough Gus
tom in England, and there is nothing
especially sordid about it, What makes
the custom repulsive in an information
al marriage is the fact that nine cases
out of ten the man with a title hasn't
a cent to settle on his bride, nor can
he, no matter how generous he may
be, permit her guardians to settle her
entire fortune on herself. Ducal cas-
ties must be repaired, ducal debts
must be paid, ducaI wardrobes must
be put in good condition. And, to do
all those things, dukes themselves
must handle the funds.
In an article published in one of the
current magazines on this subject of
international marriages, the writer
deplores them not because such unions
brought. unhappiness to the American
girl, but because the children of such
a union were British children, not
American children. These inheritors Of
great fortunes grow up with little or
no knowledge of their mothers land.
The money that was earned in America
is employed to put in better condition
an aristocracy that is antagonistic to
the democracy that the best Amer
leans are striving to preserve today.
This is the real objection to such al
liances. This is why the sordid pre-
liminaries to such an alliance disgust
the plain American citizen.

CITY NEWS
WILL STOP THIS
DANGEROUS CUSTOM
One Engineer Must Not Look
After More Than One Heat
ing Plant.

ST am now about to take steps at
once to put a stop to the practice of
agents Of fiat buildings employing one
engineer to run the heating plants of
two buildings" said State Boiler In
spector Johnson yesterday to T e
G l o e.
By way of explaining Mr.. Johnson
said:
81 know Of at least four or five cases
in this city of firms who are agents for
more than one flat building and who
employ but one engineer to look after
two buildings. 1 will not attempt to
say whether in such cases the salary
Of the one engineer is charged in full
to the owner of each building, for that
phase of the question does not concern
me; but l do know that no man can
competently or safely run two steam
plants. and my duty requires that 1
shall put a stop to any such practice
1.-THE way this plan is worked is for
the engineer to steam up at one place
and then block the safety valve either
with extra weighs or by means Of a
stick cut just long enough to extend
from the valve to the ceiling, and then
go to the other place and do the same
thing. The result of this system is that
when the engineer of one Of these
buildings Is wanted it is more than
likely he is not to be found. We have
in the course of our inspection found
appliances of both of the kinds 1 have
described, and while every effort is
made to conceal them, we have no diff
Guilty in recognizing their uses. AS
have said, I know of four or five cases
of this kind, and I have no doubt there
are more.
81 shall put a stop to the practice
without delay. I intend first to notify
the agents, and if they do not comply
without delay to the regulations of the
department 1 shall revoke the license Of
the engineers.
when the engineer Of one of these
buildings is absent there is nothing to
prevent an excess of steam and the
blowing up of a radiator or pipe"
