ETHEL ROOSEVELT
 WAS IT YESTERDAY

Oyster Bay, N. Y., Aug. 1O-Miss Ethel Roosevelt, the presidents onH unmarried daughter, is today receiving the congratulations of hundreds upon the occasion of her 17th birthday. Scores of beautiful presents were re- ceived by the young lady of the White House, not only from relatives, friends and schoolmates, but from admirers in all parts of the country.
 At the age of IF, the Princess Ethel' has become strikingly charming and beautiful young woman, and her intellectual attainments are above the average. In many of her personal characteristics she resembles her famous father. She will not ac- lively enter society for several years yet, although she will likely take part in several functions this winter, ow- ing to the fact that the coming sea- son will be the last her father will spend in the White House Many rumors of love affairs in which she has been involved has been circulated, but there has been little basis of truth in any of them.

WILL NOT BUILD
 THOUSAND FOOT SHIPS

New York. Aug. l0.-Pier supern- tendents and other shipping experts who have the jobs of getting the bis liners alongside their piers on arrival. ridiculed the report from London to the effect that the White Star Compa- ny intended to build two liners, the Olympic and the I4aurentic, oyer 900 feet long.
 The general opinion was that the limit has been reached by the Mau- retania, which is 79o feet, on account of the limit to the pier accommoda- |tions and the difficulty of docking big ships in bad weather against wind and tide. The longest pier in the harbor at the present time is the North German Lloyd at Hoboken, which is 900 feet long.
 Capt. D. J. Roberts, the superintend- ent of piers of the Cunard line. said that the War Department would not

 steamship man, who was recently tri-
 ed on a charge of grand larceny. Zot- | ii claims to be the victim of con- spiracy to ruin his business, and

 spirators. No defense was made at the trial. attorneys for Zotti claiming that the persecution failed to prove it's case. If Zotti is acquitted, it is alleg- ed that the conspiracy" charge. will
 be laid before the grand jury. t
 At the previuoS hearings Zotti had said that there was a consipracy to
 wreck his business, and Postal In spector Kinkade said that Zotti had told him that J. P. Morgan was the man responsible for the wrecking of his steamship Brooklyn, plying be- tween this city and Mediterranean ports The Brooklyn went ashore on one of the Azores about two years )ago Zotti has also said that three Pittsburg men" had conspired against him. Kinkade said that he had ten complaints a day for while from some of Zotti's customers He said he showed list of the complaints to Zotti and that the banker promised to pay all the complainants. The
 complainants later told the inspector that when they went to see Zotti they were put out of the bank.

--OxO---- POWER BEHIND
 THRONE FLED
Achnlel Izzet Paslla, Former Secretary to Sultan. Believed to Be Seeking Asylum in America While Political Affairs in Turkey Are Cooling.

New York, Aug. 1O.-That A2hmed Izzet Pasha, formerly secretary of the sultan of Turkey and the so-called power behind the throne, is fleeing to this country, where his son, Mouhamed Ali Afed, is the Turkish ambassador in Washington, was learned by lead ing Turkish subject, in this city last night. That this would be proved within a few days was stated, but the source of the news, other than that it came bs' cable from Constanti- nople, would not be divulged. More than week ago a cable to the Herald stated that Izzet Pasha, as he is more familiarly known, went on board steamship near Constantinople and did not return.
 It is now believed by those who have had the news from the Turkish capital that Izzet Pasha has taken pas sage for this country, where it is pos sible to find safe asylum while po- litical affairs in Turkey are adjusting themselves.
 For the last year at least Izzet Pasha has ben a power at the palace of the Sultan.

DUSKY DAUGHTER
 OF MONTEZUMA

New York, Aug. 10.-A daughter of the Montezumas is in New York mas tering the art of domestic science. She will carry it back with her to Mexico, and at the bidding of her government. introduce it into that country. She is Mme. Guadalupe de Haro and is an ex- quisite lady, with coal black hair, deep brown eyes and complexion of creamy white, who proudly says she is thoroughly Mexican, and a descendant of the Montezumas. She has been in New York a year and half studying night and day household arts as taught in public and private schools and col leges. Just now she is studying in the summer school of the University of New York Mime. de Haro $ the daughter of a great financier, born to wealth and luxury Through adver- died, and the widow had to work for living. Mexican women of degree take little interest in the economy of their households Such things are left to the servants So when Mime. de Haro faced the necessity of earning a living, she awoke to her helplessness. Through study and inquiry she found that there was woman's world of ac. tivity that she had never dreamed ec- isted. Then came the offer of her gov ernment to se.4sl her to New York to study our domestic science and sine ac cepted it gladly.

With a strong tide against her, it took F to II tugs to berth the big ships along the pier Capt. Roberts did not be- l;eve the White Starl inc intended to build any such liners as described, and they would be too unweilding and costly to handle with any profit. He thought that the limit was reached be- fore the Lusitania and Mauretania were built and the future liners would be constructed on the lines of the Carmapia and Caronia, which had both proveH such all-rOund successes.

 What did they do to Mr Hobson that made him so censorious oil Japan. so determined to believe that Japan had her eye on the United States and some fine day would be found in possession of Washington?
 Can it be possible that the members of the Y. M C. A. fell asleep when Mr. Hobson lectured them on the duty of loving ones enemies? We are afraid to speculate further on what may have occurred, but it is certainly very curi- ous that MT. Hobson's strong anti pathy to Japan dates from about the period. he was entertained by Japan ese Christians il Kobe.

CHAFIN NEARLY
 DROWNS IN POOL

Lincoln, Aug. 10.-Eugene w. Cha fin, Prohibition candidate for Presi- dent, narrowly escaped drowning Sat urday night while swimming in the Y. M. c. A. pool. A great effort was made to keep the accident quiet, and Dr. Chain now refers to it as "grop- ing about in the bottom of the pool. y Three young men rescued him. One of them, Maurice Hyland, vouches for the statement that Chain was practically helpless after he sank in the deep part of the pool. After being brought to the surface Chain speedily recovered from the effects of too much water and was able to deliver a Chautanqua address yesterday.

COMPARATIVE COST OF LIVING OF
 WORkINGMAN.

Is the high standard of living adopt- ed by the American workman a mis- take?
 Would he be happier with the con- ditions that surround the English or the German laborer?
 The bureau of labor answers these questions in the negative, the reply being based on reports of investiga- tions into the cost of living in the United States, Germany, and England, just made by the respective govern ments
 The bureau lays emphasis upon the food that the American eats. The table Of the American workman is Nore abundantly supplied and with far greater variety. it is declared, than either the German or the English. The food of the American workman costs more, but his table does not re- uuire nearly so large a wage-percent- age as that of the Englishman or the German.
 Another joy that the American lab orer is able to experience by his stand- ard of living is that of keeping his family together Statistics show that the family of the American living at home is larger than that of the Ger man or the Englishman. The Ameri- can industrial family averages slight ly more than five persons, with three children to family living at home.
 The reports indicate that the posi- ton of the English workman is more fortunate, in regard to wages, rental and food than the Germans, but that in all these particulars that the hon. ors go to the American.
