The tragic death OF McCalip. which
occurred In sight of two companions
who had accompanied him on a yacht

morning, and who were unable to reach
him before he sank. constitutes a pecu-
harly pathetic story.
Father Tells Story.
His father. Frank McCalip. gave the
following account today:
MY son left Washington Saturday
afternoon in company with Harold B.
White and A. c. Mann. two fellow
electricians employed at the Senate
office building Recently my son and
Mr.. White bought a yacht, since which
time my boy. who was twenty-five
years old, has practically lived on the

orite of Kaiser Must An
yer Charge of Perjury
in German Court.
OUGHT TO ROOM
AGGARD AND WORN
lelm Sends Special Represen-
tative to Make Report on
Proceedings of Case.

BERLIN, June 29.-The trial Of Prince
Philip Eulenburg, formerly the Kaiser's
: favorite and the most powerful man be-
hind the scenes in Germany, on a double
charge of perjury and melting others
10 commit perjury, began today in the
central criminal court amid the most
dramatic suggestions.
After the preliminary formalities had
been concluded there was a conference
before the court and counsel and it was
decided 10 conduct the trial behind
closed doors. excluding members Of the
press The decision was a bitter dis
appointment TO the public. which had
counted on being RECALLED by the sala-
cious testimony.
The court room could accommodate
but small part Of the crowd that had
stood about the building since day
break, awaiting the opening of the
doors. No women were permitted as
the tria, promises a wealth OF testimony
that is considered improper for women
to hear.
Creeps to Court Room.
The appearance Of the prince was
pathetic IN the extreme. He was
brought TO court from the sick ward OF
the prison where he had been confined
. for eight weeks. He was in an inyalid's
chair ard was lifted from this by his
son, Count Sigward Eulenburg. and his
doctor.
The judge allowed Eulenburg to re-
cline in q chair in the middle Of Une
court room instead sof placing him IN
the dock. His beautiful wife sat by his
side and his two sons held his hands
lin an effort to console him, but they
had to leave when the judge announced
his exclusion order. The trial is ex-
. pected 90 last two weeks.
His head was bent and he crept.
rather than walked, into the presence
of his Judge.
Euienburg's trouble arises out OF the
charges made against him and others
by Macmillan Harden, editor Of Die
Zukunsnt. Harden accused Eulenburg
and other members of the Round
Table" Of the grossest immoral prac-
tees and perversions.
Wen these charges v ere discussed at
the trial Of the HeWsPaperman Brant
who HbelN1 Prince Buelow in 1907. Eu-
lcnburg appeared and mads a denial Of
Harden's charges. At the second trial
e COInc Kunc Won Moltke. Eulenburg
again denied the charges.
Brought Libel Action.
Last April Editor Harden brought
libel action against the proprietors Of a
South German newspaper and in the
trial Two witnesses were produced who
suostanuated the charges against E,u-
lenbUrg in every detail.
One Of these witnesses was Herr
Ernst. a retainer on Eulenrurg's South
man named 2iedel.
These men will be the chief witnesses
against Euienburg. 1t is charged that
EulCIbUrg wrote letters TO both OF these
men Offering them rewards II they
would commit perjury.
The Kaiser IS taking interest in the
charge. as 4 number of men formerly
his closest associates are involved. The
kaiser has commissioned Count Caro-
lath to attend the trial and make a full
report Of the case to him. not wishing
TO rely even on the courts record for
his information
