To the Editor II The Washington Times:
The United States grand jury has now re-
turned six indictments against the ''warnl-

The Duke of Orleans Mistake.

The Duke Of Orleans has once more
given evidence Of his altogether amaz
ing lack Of tact and OF proper feeling
which has done so much to destroy his
prospects as a pretender TO the throne
of France. 1t seems that when at Con
stantinople on board his yacht. the
Maroussia, some three weeks ago. he
called upon NJ. Constans. the French
envoy at the French embassy. encour-
aged. perhaps. by the fact that the
French diplomatic representatives in
other capitals are in the habit Of show
ing courtesy TO such members OF his
family as they may happen TO meet
either at court or in society.
The duke. however. apparently failed
to realize that he himself is an avowed
enemy Of the republic, publicly plotting
for its overthrow, and as such exiIed
from France. The consequence was
that when his card was brought TO Am
bassador Constans. the latter ordered
II to be returned 10 the duke, with tn
curt information that he would under
no circumstances consent to receive zee

time
Constans. it may be remembered. was

interior, crushed in such an amusing
manner the conspiracy in which the

and General Boulanger were concerned

restoration of King Charles II 10 the
English throne
The plans had all been laid and the
plot might have succeeded had not Bou-
LANCER been lacking in personal cour-
age. Constans was aware Of this de-
feet in his character. and one day when
visited at the ministry OF the interior
by an acquaintance. whom he knew to
be likewise an acquaintance OF Bou-
LANCER. he purposely quilted the room
for a few moments. leaving on his desk
a warrant duly signed for the arrest Of
Boulanger. knowing full well that his

Orleans Prepare to Dodge.

The average Ohio voter is not likely
70 get much satisfaction from the dis
cusslon Of political Issues in that State
this year. Each of the two great parties
is planning campaign to dodge the
questions presented by the other. The
Republicans will conduct their canvass
along national lines; they will tell the
Buckeye voters all about the old story OF
national prosperity, and recount the
achievements OF their party. On the
other hand Democrats purpose to confne
their arguments almost entirely to local
issues.
The Hon. Tom Johnson is directing AZ
fairs for them and ne will insist that
questions of State and municipal taxa
tion and matters affecting only Ohio be
considered. For the most part. if the
present program is carried out. the
Democrats will avoid national issues.
Thus while they are barking up one tree

secreted in another. and while the Re-
Dublicans are belaboring the Democrats
over their lack of a national policy the
Democrats will be around the corner
talking State matters. The voters will.
therefore, have issues presented on both
sides for which there will be no answers.
The Republicans contemplate import
ing a large number of orators. men Of
national reputation. from other States
who. OF course being unfamiliar with
local conditions. will naturally discuss
matters affecting the country at large
The Democrats viii employ home talent

where the record OF Senator Hanna is

that the Democrats not only have no
chance of defeating Colonel Herrick for

RULES MODIFIED FOR
CHINESE EXHIBITORS

By executive order. the immigration
regulations which we're to apply TO Chi
nese coming to this country for the St.
Louis Exposition will be modified so
that few restrictions will be placed on
Chinese exhibitors.
The regulations as they now stand
call forth a storm of disapprovaI in
China and threaten to prevent the en-
trance of Influential and prominent
Cinnamon who propose to bring inter-
esting exhibits to the United States
The regulations provide that all China
men shall, upon entering this country,
deposit bond of $500, have their photo
graphs taken, and pledge themselves to
leave the country as soon as the expo
sition closes
These regulations will still be applied
to concessionaires, but will be suspend
ed in the case of exhibitors and other
prominent Cinnamon who desire to at
tend the exposition.
John Barrett, who Is in charge Of the
st. Louis exhibits from the Orient,
called at the State Department yester-
day to discuss the changes and ex-
pressed pleasure at the concession
which is to be made to prominent Chi
namen.
The changes are also gratifying 10

viii quiet much dissatisfaction which
the announcement of the regulations
caused in China In its effort to pre-
vent the smuggling OF Cinnamon in by
representing that they were to remain
only for the exposition, the Bureau of
immigration prepared strict regulations
without approaching how distasteful
they would be to better class Cinnamon.

Pope LeO's Nephew.

Few families are exempt from objec-
uonable relatives, who constitute a
source OF irritation, modification. and
trouble. comparable only TO a thorn IN
ones side. The reigning houses Of Eu-
rope are not immune from trials of this
kind. and even Leo XIII was afflicted in
this way by a more or less outcast
nephew. DOmenico by name. who. being
the eldest son OF the late Pontif's ED est
brother, is at the present moment the
head of the Pecci family.
During the lifetime of Leo XIII he
was wont 10 make an allowance TO this
nephew of $40 month, which was sent
10 the man through the confessor of his
holiness. And .this served to keep
Domenico away from Rome. But dur
ing the latter stages of Leo KITS i'll
ness the allowance failed to reach
,Domenico. and accordingly he made his
appearance at the gates of the Vatican,

name of the late Pope before becoming
a bishop, when ne decided TO be known

Old LibeTtu Bell.
Let It Be Kept for Exhibition in Phil
adelphia.

adelphia.
Title to the famous old Liberty
Bell" which more than 127 years ago
proclaimed the glad tidings that the
Continental Congress had adopted
the Declaration of Independence. IS
III dispute. For more than three
quarters of alcentury the city of Phil
adelphia has held unquestioned pos
session of the historic relic, but now
its ownership is challenged by the de-
scendants of John Wiltbank.
1t appears that the bell continued
to hang in Independence Hall for
nearly fifty years after the outbreak
of the Revolution, in fact until one
fine morning in 1924, when an over
Jealous and too vigorous sexton
cracked it while ringing it in honor
of the visit Of Lafayette.
The council, it seems, according to
the authenticated history of the bell,
contracted with John Wiltbank to re-
place it with a new one. and so little
did the city fathers appreciate the
historic value and patriotic interest
III the old bell that they turned ii over
to Wiltbank in part payment of his
bill, appraising it at nothing more
than old junk. For years it was
slowed away where almost no one
ever saw it, until finally, at the sug-
gestion Of some enterprising citizen,
it was placed ON exhibition.
Since that time it has been on trips
all over the country, attending poul-
try shows, lawn fetes and the like,
until the wonder is that a piece of the
bell remains. One of the motives
which have inspired the Wiltbanks to
institute proceedings for the posses
sion of the bell is to prevent the man
ayers of cheap expositions and side
shows from hauling the priceless old
souvenir of the Revolution from
place to place and making it the me-
drum of gain for private individuals
