KUBELIK LOSES A SUIT.
Action Against Frankfort Musical Critic
Dismissed

Berlin. June u.-"suit dismissed. with costs for
the plaintiff" the verdict OF the court yester-
day at Frankfort-on -the-Aiain in the suit which
Kubehk. the vioIinist brought against Or. Gehr-
mann the musical critic OF the -FrankfIrter Zei-
tung, for what the violinist deemed insulting per-
sonaltties IN criticisms OF his concerts DR. Gehr-
mann described Eubelik a stupid looking man
(olode drenschauenden). OF superfne. e1eminate
appearance" and spoke OF him also a specialist
and miracle worker. who produces nothing except
tones"
The proceedings turned partly on the meaning
OF the word "blode' which experts testified was
used in North Germany in the sense OF shy or
'expressiOnless." and the court noted that DR..
Gehrmaun came from Berlin to Frankfort. But
Herr Schwarzschild. KubeIik's lawyer. saw IN the
word proof that offensive personalities character
izing Berlin musical criticism being intro
duced. The Frankfort lawyer also objected to the
word specialist which he said applicable
only TO a variety performer.
The presiding Judge pointed out that he pos
sesed a pamphlet written against Wagner IN
the great composers lifetime. designed to
prove that Wagner crazy. Yet Wagner never
brought suit against his critics The judge also
said that Kubelik invited criticisms his per-
sonal appearance by having full length portraits
Of himself displayed as advertisements.
Experts who called testified that Kubelik
possessed astonishing technique but that he aimed
more at external effects than artistic depth. His
whole programme arranged with the view
OF displaying virtUosity
The in giving the reasons for the dismissal
OF the suit said the word "specalist' justified
since Kubelik cultivated the breakneck feats Of
a Paganini.'' adding:
II Is customary everywhers for critics 70
describe personal appearance OF artists for their
readers who were not present at the concert. and
Kubelik probably would have been better satisfied
IL the personal description had been hatter-
ing.
The court also said that the expression '5lods''
was not insulting. and added:
II KubeIik had a crooked nose and the critic
mentioned II. that would not have been an Insult.

VAR VIEWS OF EXPERTS.
Lack of Resistance Not Likely at
Port Arthur.
TFRoM THE TRIBUNE BUREAU. 7


Washington. June 11.-Military experts study
ing the engagements at Siu-Yen and Saia-tse
say that the inequality Of the forces naturally
gives the japanese the chances OF victory.
United States officers cannot get away from
the thought that Port Arthur will not fall with
that lack OF resistance from it's garrison which
seems TO be expected in some quarters. None
OF them regard the place invulnerable- They
say. indeed that no place exists which would
not in time fall, and no one can tell Just how
soon the japanese, with modern weapons and
ammunition, would be able TO accomplish their
purpose. They do not understand why Russia
allowed the opportunity OF relief to pass. and Il
has remained a question why the Russian aban-
doned positions in Southern Manchuria which
did not appear to be seriously threatened and
which. according TO our officers. 1t would have
been good strategy to hold.
There is much curiosity respecting the move
ments OF the Russians and IT IS imagined that
they are by no means idle. The lack Of official
news. save that which relates to several engage
ments OF no great Importance in the general
strategy OF the situation, invites the suspicion
that there Is much going on which will furnish
the subject OF expert comment within day
two. Until ther some disclosures, our officers
say ii is pure guessworHI. Of a not profitable or
enlightenulng sort, TO figure out what is being
done or what will be done

KING LEOPOLD.
Sane, Sound, Able and Much Misrepresented.


To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: The article in your paper Of to-day signed
''AIarquise de Fontenoy'' has some inaccuracies
and misstatements about the Belgtans that must
say 4 word about
IN the public press in regard TO the Kings domestic
relations his personal conduct and his admnistra-
tior of the Congo Free State Now you come out
with the suggestion that he is mentally unbalanced
and that they are discussing about fntrusting the
sovereign power to his brother-"rhe universally
respected and popular Count OF Flanders" Your
correspondent might easily have been informed
that. owing to extreme deafness. the Count OF
Flanders long ago abdicated his possibility OF
cession to his son. Prince Albert
II has been my pleasure to meet his majesty
within six months and TO have been impressed
as always when I meet him-with the mar
and conditions he exhibits That 1t Is partly due
the necessity OF great supervision by the Belgian
Envoy IN Washington that he. the minister. has
made arrang ements 20 spend the summer within
easy reach OF the national capital is the veriest
bosh.
When I dined at the palace in Brussels last
October the Kings appearance with the Princess
Clementine far from any violent quarrel as
anything could be They were apparently the
most intimate and afrectiouate terms.
As I said before his ability is very great. and
naturally. having initiated or developed large
schemes and put a great deal OF money into them,
he feels that he Is entitled have and TO exercise
HIS opinion IN regard to them
II his reason has become affected" u is greatly
TO be regretted that many other governors OF
states are not overcome by the same complaint
Sincerely yours. W. \. c.
