 Now voter may agree with Mir. Bryan in respect to railroad ownership and antitrust legislation without be- ing necessarily a Democrat, and he may differ from MT. Roosevelt without departing from the old recognized prin- ciples and policies of the party of Lincoln and Garfield and Mckinley. The issue is new, but Mir. Roosevelt apparently has well-nigh succeeded in making a new party to deal with 1t in the fashion he proposes. Secretary Taft now an avowed candidate for the first place on the next national Repub- lican ticket. has even declared himself in favor of a revision of the tariff. and the program with which he must go before the country in the event of his nomination, will be almost completely bare of any distinctly Republican fea- ture. He will come in, if he comes in at all. with a tide that has left a great deal behind 1t. The old leaders of the old Republican party will die hard. There Is trouble ahead in Ohio, In Pennsylvania, in New York, in Massa- chusetts, and possibly in New Jerey and Rhode Island. Just at present, however, 1t seems not improbable that the onward movement will be support ed by a popular majority. Neither the man in the street nor the man with the hoe is troubled by consideration of constitutionality or pauses to measure the extent of the impending change. But who knows what may happen within the next twelve months?

Accu.cd of EspionaRe.

Unpleasant complications, which will lay bare the secret workings of the German War Department, may follow the arrest of four German army of ficers at Brussels. accused of espion- age.
 The arrest was brought about in a curious way. Some weeks ago an ad- vertisement appeared in a Brussels pa on-cemmissioned officer in the Bel gian army preferred, who would be well renumerated for certain services.
 A non on-commissioned officer who an swered the advertisement was asked to keep an appointment the following day He was met by a stranger who Informed him that the present difficult situation in Morocco might result in war between France and Germany, and that Germany wished certain informa- tion regarding the numerous forts of the Mouse, especially Namur, Malonne and Liege.
 The non- n-commissioned officer, refused Indignantly. Several days later the soldier encountered the man in the street and gave him into custody. He proved to be d German officer, and his arrest was followed by that of three men who were working with him.
 The quartet claim that they were employed by a private detective agency to work against France and not Bel gium, but certain papers found fin their rooms are said to prove that they were in the service of the German War Department and were to be pro

CROOK POSES AS I. A. EDISON Secured Backing from
 Rich Germans. WAS STARTING A FACTORY SwindIer is Now Said to Be
 Insane. xmpersonnted American Inventor Ana Sold stock In Enterprise"--Army
 omcers Are To Be Tried
 For Espionage.
nv wALTER pUNKIRK.

Berlin, May 24.-A number or oer man manufacturers who TOT some weeks had believed they were to pc partners of Thomas A. Edison, the rreat American inventor, are today mourning the loss of many thousanos marks, which they had paid to a man, who impersonating the inventor. hao asked them to back him financially as he intended to start a great iaetors in Germany.
 The man who had just been arrested at Vienna proves to be Bohemian swindler, Weuzel Czapek. who had op erated in Hamburg Prague, Berlin ana Vienna.
 On the strength of his resemblance to Thomas Edison, he got money every where, telling that because the trusts in America had taken from him the profts of all his inventions, he had left his native country forever ana ih- tended to spend the remainder Of ms days in Germany.
 According to the police, the man IS, and for years has been, insane. Four years ago he was arrested for swind- ling and sent to an insane asylum at Bresiau. In September. 1903, he and a portrait painter. Edward Biederman, succeeded in escaping from the insane asylum leaving behind a letter to the chief physician in which they said: "we thank you, Professor, for the watercure. which may be very oeneti- cial to some people, but as we prefer beer we are forced to leave this asy- lum."
 Soon afterwards Czapek appeared here and swindled a number of people before he was caught and sent to an Insane asylum in Western Prussia where he remained until December, 1906, when he again escaped
 In April he began his career as an fmpersonator of Edison, and deceived even high government officials. whom he offered his latest invention. an au- tomatically dirigible airship, which would make Germany invincible in the air.
 When arrested in Vienna, he fnsis- ted that he was really Thomas Edison and declared that if he had swindled people, he had chosen this way of mak- ing humanity pay for his inventions. which hitherto had brought him no financial return. He will now be sent to an insane asylum for the third and, it is hoped, last time

Kaiser's Rig Mall.

Some, interesting details about the Kaiser's huge mail from unknown cor respondents are given by palace off, cials connected with the Emperors civil cabinet. The daily flood of let ters from all parts of the world is dealt with by a special staff of secre- taries under the direction of Dr. won Lucanus, chief of the civil cabinet.
 Begging letters form a large propor- tion of the Kaiser's mall, and these always increase after the announce ment of a bequest to the Kaiser from some dead loyalist-legacies which fall to the Emperor rather frequently.
 Crank inventors with designs Tor aeroplanes and other wonders write begging the Kaiser for his patronage twith a donation), so that their schemes may be carried out.
 More attention is paid to letters from unknown people who write upon sub jects interesting to his Majesty, and often send valuable suggestions. A few of the letters raise questions which srrike the Kaiser as important enough to warrant an investigation.

 Experiment With Dogs.
 Some interesting experiments were made yesterday with police dogs Tn .ne Schwarzenburg Park at Vienna. Ine animals used were German sheep dogs' greatly resembling wolves.
 The dogs proved very success,uI .n carrying messaees--They covered over half a mic in three minutes. bringing a message from an outpost, taking pack an answer. and then returned 'o headquarters"
 A trial to illustrate the use of the animals in saving drowning persons nearly had a fatal ending. The victim was dragged by a dog across the pona in which the experiment was made, put as the animal kept his head under the water he was half drowned when he reached the bank.
 In another case a supposed burglar who was pursued by one of the dogs was so ferociously attacked by the ani- nal, that he had to be rescued From his captor.
 The Archduchess Isabella. after the trial, ordered a number of trained po- lice dogs for the protection of her family when living in the country.
 sixteen Fraud Cases.
 The Munich criminal court Is occu- pied for a month to come with the big gest and most sensational case in its history. There are sixteen prisoners. charged with organized usury, fraud. embezzlement and forgery: the fndict- ment. covers 25e folios and 251 separ- ate counts; and no fewer than 750 wit nesses will be called.
 The case Is bound to reveal the shocking extent to which gambling and debauchery are indulged in by German army officers and young aristocrats. The victims of the gang of crooks and usurers includes Prince. Henry of Hanau. Count Pocci. Baron von Thur gen ffrom whom they extracted $150,- 0oo), and Baron von Lang-Puchof. who lost s100. 900.
 The sixteen prisoners include ex-of- ficers. a doctor. private detective, a jeweler a cycle dealer, a milkman, and an architect. They are alleged to have systematically defrauded fast young officers by usury, charging them in- terest up to 100 per cent and sucking hap
