MAHARAJA GAIKWAR, RULER
cF BARoDA, DOING AMERICA.
Interesting Prince Whose Record for
Goodness Began When he Was a
Boy - His Life at Home and
His Priceless Jewe1ed Cloak.

Maharaja GaikWar, Indian prince
and ruler of Baroda, together with his
pretty wife, the Maharani Gaekwar.
has come to the United States to see
the country and learn all he can for
the betterment of his own country and
people. This purpose reveals the char
acter of the man, for he is as progress
sive as he is good and as good as they
make them over in India, and by this
we do not mean to imply that Mahar-
alas goodness is of a mediocre kind.
AS boy he was known for his up
rightness of character, and this quail
ity has not diminished with the years
In fact, as the story goes, it was hiS
goodness as a boy which led to his Sc
selection as the ruler of Baroda. 1t
seems that the former Gaikwar was
deposed by the British government for
gross misrule, and as there happened
to be no direct heir to the throne, ac-
cording to the Hindu custom, the selec-
ton of a ruler devolYed upon the
Maharani, the wife of the deposed
ruler, who has been obliged to fee
from her husband to escape death at
the bottom of WE'LL After consalta-
tion with her guru, or godfather, she
decided that the new Gaikwar SHOULD
be chosen from among the three best
boys in Baroda. From these three
most excellent boys the present visitor
to the United States was accepted as
the one of greatest promise to WELD
the sword of state wisely.
That this contest of good boys
proved a judicious procedure few
among the Maharaja's 2,000,000 sub
jects would now question. Under his
rule the state has progressed steadily,
and the city of Baroda has been so
modernized with handsome public
buildings, wide streets, and pleasure
gardens that it has ceased to be the
typical Hindu capital of the picturesque
though malodorous description. Per-
sonally Maharaja Gaikwar is a man
of much force of character.
Maharaja Gaikwar rises early and
proceeds first to distribute aims to his
personal Brahmins, or, as we would
say, private chaplains. The amount
of the daily gift is about SIS, for
which the Brahmins offer a short
prayer in his behalf and presence. On
such festivals as the day of offerings
for the dead and the day of hirth-
day thanksgiving he attends Eublic
worship in the palace temple. Daring

In some manner q rumor of the
changes Oakley proposed making did
get abroad, and he was promptly made
aware that his popularity in Antioch
was 4 thing of the past. He was re-
garded as an oppreSsor from whom
some elaborate and wanton tyranny
might be expected. While General
Cornish suffered their inefticiency, his
easy going predecessors had been con
tent to draw their salaries and let it 90
at that, Il line OF conduct which An
tioch held TO be entirely proper. This
new man, however, was clearly an up
start, cursed with an insane and de
structive ambition TO earn money for
the road. Suppose it did not pay. Cor
niSh could go down into his pocket for
the difference, just as he had always
done.
What the town did Tot know ald
what it would not have believed even
If it had been told was that the gen
eral had been on the point Of selling. a
change that would have brought hard
ship to every one. The majority OF tie
men in the shops owned their ov4
homes. and these homes represented
the savings Of years. The sudden exc
dus of two or three hundred tt3.il.e>
meant Of necessity Widespread ruin.
ThoSa who were forced to 90 away
would have to sacrifice everything they
possessed TO get away. while those who
remained would be scarcely better of.
But Antioch never considered such a
radical move as even remotely posi-
Bile. II counted the shops a fixture.
They had always been there. and for
this sufficient reason they would al
ways remain

The road and the shops employed
some 500 men. most of whom had their
homes in .Antioch. Oakley knew that
If the property was sold it would prac-
tically wipe the town out of existence.
The situation was full of interest for
him. Ii Cornish approved and told
him to 80 ahead With his reforms, it
would be an opportunity such as he
had never known.
He Went into his wv room. which

He had taken 4 great deal Of paiaS
with his figures. and they seemed to
satisfy Cornish that the road if prop
erly managed was not such Il hopeless
proposition after all. Something might
be done With it.
Oakley rose in his good esteem. He
had liked him. and he was justifying
his good opinion. He beamed henev-

said. Will they stand it,"

that his reforms were likely to make
him very unpopular in Antioch. They
