Potsdam Palace.
From the London Chronicle.

The New Palace, Potsdam, where the
kaiser had his momentous interview with
Prince Buelow yesterday, is only new" in
the sense that New College, Oxford, was
new when first built, though it is now
about century and q half old. 1t was
built by Frederick the Great, who had
hitherto contented himself with the cot
tage-like Sanssouci. in order to show his
enemies that his Golfers were far from
having been depleted by the tremendous
conflict from which he had emerged vic
tortous, and that, financially speaking. he
was ready to come up smiling should ever
they dare to modest him again. The dome
of this New Palace the great king sur
mounted with a crown, supported by
three female f1gures-representing his
three chief enemies-Maria Theresa, Elisa
beth of Russia and 1.-The Pompadour,'
who controlled the French king-with
their backs turned to their respective
countries. One of the first acts of the
Emperor Frederick. after his accession.
was to rename the New Palace Fried
rickskron." in allusion to this surmount-
ing crown: and one Of the first things the
present kaiser did on succeeding to the
throne was to decree the restoration of
the old name-in spite of the fact that 1t
was here where his father had been born
and died.

John J. Stanislaus. living at 1913 ~
street southwest. and formerly employed
as credit clerk in the tailoring establish
ment Of George T. Keen, was given a pre-
liminary hearing this morning before
Judge Mullowny in the Police Court upon
Il charge of cmbezzlement. He was held
for the action of the grand jury in 81 .OOo
bond, which was furnished in the course
Of the day by relatives.
1t is alleged that Stanislaus collected
$1J on an account of one of the Keen
customers October 16. and failed to make
the proper return. The defendant vigor-
ously denied that anything of dishonest
nature entered into his work while in Mr..
keens employ. and asserted that the
money in question had been duly turned
over to another Of the clerks, who failed
to make the proper entries
In asking that bond be fixed at 81 900

nounced that there were four other cases
of a similar nature which would be
filed against the defendant in the near
future. Detectives Baur and Cornweu Of

PRESIDENTS PARDON POWER
UPHELD BY KNOX IN A CON.
TEMPT CASE.
Opinion Given by Him When At.
torney General Is Cited
as Precedent. n

The power of the President to pardon
for contempt was upheld by Philander Z.
Knox when he was Attorney General. As
Mr.. Knox is to be the premier or the
Taft cabinet, and as it is assured that
any application for pardon in the case OF
Gompers, Morrison and Mitchell would
come before the new administration. his
view of the Presidents preogative is In
teresting.

new ]. s. Easby-Smith. who was pardon
clerk under Attorney General Knox.
speaking Of the decision of Mr.. Knox.
said:
while / was pardon attorney in the
Department Of Justice, Mr.. Knox being
Attorney General. an application was
made for pardon Of Alexander Mckenzie.
who was convicted OF contempt of the
United States court in Alaska, and sem
fenced by Judge Noyes. at Nome. TO I'M
prisonment for one year in Jail, from FEB
ruary II, 1901.
Upon the filing of this application in
the Department Of Justice Attorney Cen
eral Knox prepared an exhaustive opin-
ion upon the President power TO PARDON
in such a case. and after citing opinions
of former Attorneys General, and also
decisions of the federal courts and or
state courts in those states where the
constitutional provision concerning par
dons is as broad as that in the FederA
Constitution, Mr.. Knox reached the con-
clusion that the President has the same
power of pardon or communication In cases
OF contempt as he has In the case or any
other offense against the United states.
this conclusion being based upon the prop
osition that contempt of any federal
court, even though arising during tho
course of a civil case between private
litigants. is an offense against the United
States within the meaning OF the con-
stitutional provision relating to the par.
doning power
THE records of the Department of JUS

Attorney General for the years 1901, 1909

Eghty-eight years Is not great span Of

other lands the memory is kept of men
whose names adorned their literature
in its beginnings, it is not long"
time. 1t is not necessary to say that
Drake was a great poet. 1t is enough
to know that he was an early American
poet. His American Flag" is to the
citizens Of this Union what Campbell's
Meteor Flag of England" Is to the
British subject. 1t is more indeed. for
we have no doubt that the number Of
Americans who know by heart at least
some verses of brakes composition Is
much greater than the number of Eng
lishmen who are at all acquainted with
campbeil's poems. Drake wrote as an
American. Some of our early poets,
charmed with the agreeable use which
Milton, Shelley and Keats had made
of the common flowers in their versif1-
cation, wrote verses about our flowers,
too. but their poetic fancy overran the
boundaries of our flora, and alien
blooms. never seen or known In this
country. were strangely employed for
the establishment of their lines brakes
"Culprit Fay was American. at least in
its setting. and as for its fancies. why
they were common to humanity. He was
an American who wrote verse at a time
when stern and material things occupied
the attention Of most Of his countrymen
And we seem to have forgotten him.
Certainly we might pay to the memory Of
Drake the simple tribute OF properly car
ing for his grave.
