AFR. AND MRS. BELLAMY
STORER, who figure in the
controversy between them
and President Roosevelt,
which has occupied so large a share of
attention, belong to families which
have taken a leading part in the af-
fairs Of the state of Ohio and of the
nation. For some years they were
both on terms Of intimacy with Mr..
Roosevelt; hence when misunderstood
ings arose and the friendship of years
was broken bitter feelings were left.
Mr.. Storer is the son Of the late Bel.
lamy Storer. who was one Of the best
known politicians of his day. He was
in congress during the thirties and
was q friend and ally Of Daniel Web
ster. He was also noted as a jurist.
The representative Of the family who
is now in the limelight was born in
Cincinnati in 1S47, and at twenty he
received his diploma from Harvard
university. Subsequently he studied
law at the Cincinnati Law school.
graduated from that institution in
1869, was admitted to the bar the
same year and for some years there.
after practiced his profession in Gin
cinnati. He had an ambition to 60 to
congress, as his father had done, and
in 1890 was elected to the house of rep
r~esentatives, in which he served two
terms. In the house he was a member
Of the committee on foreign relations,
and this association engendered in him
a desire for a diplomatic career. He
vas on terms Of special friendship
with Mr.. Mckinley, and when the lat
ter became president he furthered his
friends ambition by appointing him
minister to Belgium and at the close of
the Spanish war promoted him to be
minister to Spain. Like Mr.. Mckinley,
Mr.. Roosevelt entertained a special
liking for the Ohio diplomat. and when
he came to the White House soon

manded him to make up his books and
to hand over whatever money was in
the treasury.
'lf YOU do not ut once comply l shall
get another clerk and cause the cash
box to be opened by my two grena-
diers" roared the captain. In these
circumstances the trembling treasurer
had no alternative. He handed over
In coin Of the realm the sum Of 4.OO2
marks, for which the captain wrote a
receipt.
He then took possession Of the mon
ey and handed the treasurer over to
the two grenadiers, who conveyed him
about $50 o'clock to his residence,
followed by some thousands Of the
amazed inhabitants Of Coepenick.
There a carriage stood ready. in which
the treasurer was conveyed by the
two soldiers.
The low comedy Of the affair lay In
the fact that Voigt was not even a SOL
der, was not even a decent member Of
society, but an e~x.convict, who had
spent twenty years In Jail and who had
passed some little Of his honest time al
a cobbler. Dressed as a captain Of the
First Foot guards. however, he had
no trouble In imposing upon a squad Of
fusileers returning from target practice
outside Coepenick. German soldiers are
used to doing anything a man In off,

Of the emperor" commanded the bogus
captain. and like so many military
automatic they promptly wheeled and
tramped behind him. On their way
they picked up four men Of the Fourth
Guards regiment. and these also were
requisitioned.
VOigt was arrested n week after the
commission Of the crime.

found an opportunity to advance him
by making him ambassador to Austria.
While Mr.. Storer was a young prac-
titioner Of the law in Cincinnati he be-
came acquainted with the daughter of
Joseph Longworth, artist and con
noisseur and possessor of many &C.
complishments. AS Miss Maria Long
worth she was heiress to a fortune Of
some $4,000 900. She married George
Ward Nichols, but separated from him;
he afterward died. About a score of
years ago she was the center Of a CO.
terie of clever people who gathered at
her residence to lounge on divans in
an oriental atmosphere before Il life
size image of Buddha set up in the hall
way and talk mysticism. Out of this
acquaintance grew a friendship be
tween the young lawyer and tile clever
society woman resulting in marriage.
Mrs. Storer about 1880 became so de-
voted an admirer Of the ceramic art
that she founded the enterprise since
known the world Owe as the Rock
wood potteries. Besides being an ex-
pert in ceramics she is master Of the
art Of fashioning gold and silver and
bronze into beautiful forms.
Mrs. Storer became a convert to the
Roman Catholic church. and her hus-
band followed her into it. With the
zeal Of new converts they labored for
the advancement Of their ideas IS to
the interests of their church and espe-
cially for the appointment of their
friend, Archbishop Ireland Of st. Paul.
as n cardinal. When governor Of New
York Mr.. Roosevelt sought to aid them
in their plan. When he became presi.
dent he saw that he could no longer
with propriety extend such aid and
sought to restrain the StOrers. after

Austria, from activity in promoting the
