cAMEkEEPER STEALS NINE
THOUSAND PHEASANT EGGS

LONDON. Aug. 24.-Considerable inter-
est was aroused in East Anglia yester.
day by the prosecution at Saffron Walden
of Sir Walter Gi.bey's head gamekeeper,
Herbert Wyndham Stride, for stealing,
on certain dates between May, 1903, and
May 1906, about 5000 pheasant's eggs.
Frederick w. Willard, described as
journalist of Hoddesdon, was charged
with receiving and transmitting the eggs
to James Regan, gamekeeper to MT.
Ward, Llanrhaidr. North Wales.
The plan adopted for the disposal OF the
eggs, 1t was alleged, was for Stride to
send them to Willard at Rye House sta
ton, labeled cooking eggs, at owners
risk" Mi;ard attached fresh labels de-
scribing them as 'pheasants' eggs, at rail-
way company's risk" and dispatched
them to Regan.
Regain said he paid Millard a145 for
1000 eggs In 1903: Elsa for 5000 In 1904;
a37 los. for 1000 in 1906; and eA 13s. for
1000 in 1906. Willard informed him that
his friend Stride had lost ESQ on horse,
and that he had sold thousand pheasant
eggs for him to make it good. Regan re-
piled that IL Stride was getting the
eggs that way he did not want any more.

VIENNA ART DECLARED
INDECENT BY THE POLICE
Special Cable to The Herald.

Special Cable to The Herald.
VIENNA, Aug. A.-In artistic and in
tellectual quarters much criticism and
amusement is caused by the fact that the
police are claiming the right of censor
ship over the works of the old masters.
A few days ago a dealer in pictures and
prints was summoned to the head office
of the police and informed that in con-
sequence of complaints by the public he
was forbidden to place in his shop win
dows prints Of Rubens' Rape Of the
Daughters of Leucippus." Tltian's
'Danae" and Titian's Venus"
Titians "Danae" is in the imperial gal
lery and the Vienna papers are asking
whether 1t is expected that the police
official will summon the directors of the
gallery to tell him to hide away one Of
the masterpieces In the possession of
which the imperial house has gloried for
several centuries
The picture dealer has submitted for
the time being to the prohibition, but has
appealed to the minister of the interior
and the Vienna artists are preparing a
solemn protest against the encroachmert
by the police on the domain of art.

FAMOUS CONDUCTOR
COMES TO AMERICA
GUSTAV MAILER OF VIENNA TO
MAKE TRIP
Man Who Has Great European Repu-
tation as Leader of Orchestra
viii Join the Mctropol-
ltan Forces

Special Cable to The Herald
VIENNA, Aug. A.-Gustav Mailer, the
famous director of the Vienna Imperial
duce himself to the musical public Of
America, Manager Conried having en-
gagged him as musical director for the
Metropolitan opera house of New York.
The prospective departure of Herr NAH
Ter has created a distinct sensation in
musical circles, as he has established a
reputation for SURPRISING genius as con-
ductor such as has not been known In
Vienna before. Herr Mailer Is spending
the summer months in a small town some
distance from Vienna, keeping himself
in much seclusion owing to depression
over the recent loss of his little daugh-
ter.
The methods Mailer is likely to intro
duce in New York can be judged by his
well known methods here. He shows
strong favor for the works of Wagner
and Mozart, preferring them to the
French and Italian operas. The great
composer Bra S once said that who
ever wanted to hear Mozart's operas
should go when Mailer Yields the baton.
His production of Mozart's operas has
become the model for all Europe, as he
was the first to employ the methods of
Mozart himself. For that composer s
operas Herr Mailer reduces the number
of his musicians, thus bringing out the
delicacy of the finer passages. 1t Is one
of Mahler's peculiarities to endeavor to
perform a work in the exact style of the
time of its composition.
Herr Mahlers personality has become
widely known during his direction of the
Imperial opera house here. His eyes,
hands and, indeed, his whole being seem
to enter into his direction of the orches-
ira. His influence makes itself felt the
moment he steps on the conductors
stand, not only to the artists on the
stage and musicians around him, but to
the audience. Musical critics praise the
extraordinary expressiveness of his
hands. He excels in the art of having
the orchestra bring out the most subtle
of emotions, particularly In the forte and
piano passages
When Mailer first assumed the man.
agement of the Imperial opera house he
instituted many reforms. When they
pointed out that he was breaking tradi-
lions Mailer remarked: Traditions mean
slothfulness." Even the wish of the en-
peror had no effect upon him. Once he
was notified of the emperor's desire that
an opera composed by an archduke
should be presented. Mailer, knowing of
the inferiority of the opera, said:
st recognize the emperor's command
but not his wish.''
On hearing this remark the emperor
smlingly said
I'm matters artistic I do not give any
commands" and the archduke's opera
remained unpresented owing to Mahler's
firm stand.

ROUMANLA SUBJECT
TO STANDARD OIL
COMPANY WINS HARD FIGHT IN
BALKANS
Now Controls Eighty PEI Cent of the
Oil Formerly In the Hands
of German In
terests
Special Cable to The Herald.

Special Cable to The Herald.
BUCHAREST, Aug. 24.-The Standard
Oil company has won it's fight for the
so sudden, so complete, that political
men of Roumania were astonished when
they heard of It. The party press of
the various political parties seems to be
unable to say anything on the subject.
Standard Oil has taken the country by
surprise. The large Roumanian petro-
leum and oil concerns do not deny that
they are now practically under the sole
control of Rockefeller's representatives.
The victory of Standard Oil is consid-
cred SO much the greater since King
Charles was known to side with the Ger
man interests as against the American
oil trust,
King Opposed Rockefeller Company
The fight for the Roumanian oil lands
by the Standard Oil company began sew
eral years ago. Peter Carp, who was at
the time premier, >was the first one to
take up the matter with the representative
of John d. Rockefeller, Mr.. Porter. 1t
Is said, however, that King Charles was
influenced by the kaiser against Stand
ard Oil for the German interests. The ne
gotiations with the American oil men
were urOppeu anu EUROPEAN hndHcieiS e.
profiting by the fight made in Roumania
against the Americans, invested In addi-
ton to German capital, Hungarian,
French, Austrian and Dutch capital.
Standard Oil representatives in Europe,
however discouraged bankers from In
vesting money In Roumanian oil fields. In
order to influence the European financiers
and to injure German oil men, who were
at the time the victors as far as Rou-
manian oil fields were concerned, the
Standard Oil company lowered the price
of Oil all over Germany. The price was
such that the concerns controlling the
| oil in Roumania and importing 1t to Ger
many could not sell 1t for the low prizes
at which Standard OIL was being sold.
Banks Feared Standard
On the other hand the Standard Oil
representatives in Germany and other
European countries pointed out to the
great banking houses the fact that any
opposition to the Standard OIL naturally
cost them thousands and thousands of
dollars and that II on the contrary they
would help Standard OIL in its fight all
concerned would be the gamers. The
result was that Deutsch bank and Dis
conto, two OF the most important bank
ing establishments in Europe, were won
over to the eide of the Americans. The
Standard Ou company also IorLneu d
trust. together with the European Pc
troleum union, which had been estab-
lished in Berlin about year ago. 1t is
said that this body was organized by
representatives Of the Standard Oil COM
pany.
When the union was formed a year
ago, 1t was supposed to have as its main
purpose the fight against the Americans.
1t ended, however, by uniting with them
and helping them win the victory in Rou-
mania against German interests.
BY the present arrangements the Stand
ard Oil company will control about 80
per cent of the oil which was formerly
in German hands.

ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 24.--Czar
Nicholas summer palace at Peterhof Is
overrunning with men and women who
see visions and dream dreams.
Two monts ago three such persons alb
sorbed most of the emperor's time. NOW
they swarm there. One of the original
trio was 1.-THE Red Woman of Samara,"
devout and chaste; another was an or
thodox priest. The characters of those
who are there today are none too good.
Cars Mother Very Angry
The cars mother, who has very level
head, is thoroughly Disguised, and her
relations with her son have become SO
strained that she threatens to go to her
old home in Denmark again, in order to
get away from "a lot of schemers, half
mad, the other half rogues.
In addition to the czar's rather hum
BILE ministrants mentioned in the previous
dispatch there are several highly placed
courtiers who belong to this Camarilla
and who not only engage in spiritualism
and table-turning, but aspire to lead the
car in conducting the affairs OF the Rus
sian empire. Among these are Court
Minister Baron Fredericks, Prince Orloff
Court Marshal Count Beneckendorf and
Prince Putyatin. At the instigation of
the rand Duke Peter Nicholaievftch the
last named supplies the court at refer
hof with mythical monks and pilgrims.
Drunken Singer Joins Council
A few days ago a celebrated spiritualist
from the Crimea arrived, "the holy
Mitya" Mitya is regarded in Peterhof
as a supernatural person. He has a
beautiful voice and sings to perfection the
melancholy ballads of the south. Mitya
is also a hard drinker.
In the Grand Duke Peters villa. near
Peterhof, there is a swarm of these
"magicians," as they are called. Many
of them are of questionable antecedents,
but the police dare not touch them, as
they belong to the grand dukes court.
In such state of affairs the position
of sensible men like Stolypin is only ten
able so long as they do the will of the
clique. There was some talk Lately OIL
sending a new lieutenant governor to the
Caucasus. The minister of war, support
ed by Stolypin, suggested Gen. Kuropat-
kin. The car took the paper on which
this suggestion was made and scrawled
over it In red pencil: This may be your
candidate; he is not mine. I shall at
tend to this myself"
