generally looked upon as a half-wltted
drunken fool; but beneath his maudlln
exterior lay concealed a large kind
heart and astonishing persplcacity.
Adolph loved Wilhelmina, and was
easily persuaded to journey to Berlin

Frederick William. but really the En-

At the same time Frederick Henry

And FOR the same reason Wilhelmina re-
ceived him with great friendliness, and
she was not displeased when he said
that his only purpose in remaining in
Berlin was to be near to protect her.
Adolph told Henry that he wouldn't
marry Wilhelmina in any circum-

An unsuccessful attempt was made
to assassinate the Crown Prince and
fasten the crime on Henry.
Don't Care became passionately in
love with the Bayrcuth Prince.

NO PARTY LINES
IN TAKING CENSUS
Taft Instructs Director North To Dis
regard Politics in Selecting Stu
pervisOrs
By Ralph Smith

WASHINGTON, April 12.-President
Taft has instructed Director North. of
the census bureau, to disregard political
party lines in selecting supervisors of
the census and there is joy among the
senators and representatives in conse-
quence. especially among the statesmen
who train with the Democratic party.
The unofficial order means that they
will get their share of the pie if the CEN
sus director treats fair and there are
good reasons for supposing that he will
not disregard the wishes of the executive.
Under the terms of the census bill as
amended by the senate supervisors are
20 be appointed by the president subject
to the approval and confirmation of the
senate, and the president, in making such
appointments, will be guided in large
part by the recommendations of Direc-
tor North. Having instructed the direc-
tor to disregard party lines in the distri-
button of this patronage it follows that
Mr. Taft intends to appoint Democrats
in Democratic districts and Republicans
in Republican districts.
When the last census was taken a
Republican administration was in control
of the machinery but party lines were
not closely adhered to in the appointment
of supervisors. In Democratic Georgia,
five Democrats and six Republicans were
named to fill the eleven offices, one in
each district.

OR $1,000 FINE
JUDGE CALHOUN SENTENCES c..
M. CALLAWAY, WHO WAS
FOUND GUILTY OF KEEPING
LIQUOR FOR SALE.

C. M. Galloway, the man who was last
week found guilty of keeping liquor on
hand in his place of business for pur-
poses of illegal sale and selling it, was
on Monday sentenced by Judge Andy
Calhoun to twelve months in the gang,
with the alternative of paying a $1,000
fine.
The court made no comment when he
passed sentence. He simply said:
THE jury has found you guilty, and 1
will sentence you to twelve months on
the gang. or pay fine of $1,000
According to the prosecution, the evil
dence against Galloway was stronger
than any other blind tiger case tried re-
Gently. 1t showed that conviction by jul
ry is possible, even in blind tiger case.
Most of the cases previously tried were
dismissed. Judge Calhoun has been pref
ty sharply criticised, but he said at the
time that it was the fault largely, of the
evidence which was either insufficient
or the character of the witnesses was
such as rule not to impress jtfies
Galloway will appeal.

is LEOPOLD BLOCKING
BIG GERMAN LOAN!
It is Denied, However, That He is
Playing Into the Hands of the
British Bankers
(By Associated Press. }

BRUSSELS, Thursday, April 1.-The
sudden appearance of the Belgian claims
in the struggle to prevent the consum-
nation of the German loan, at Peking
is not, according Joauthoritative informa-
ton here, in any way due to the fact that
King Leopold, as reported, is acting in
sire to block the German loan. King
Leopold's motives in the matter appear
TO be purely personal.
When the American-China development
company was formed Leopold secured
large share of the Hankow- Canton bonds
at 80 and turned them into the Fond de
Guarantee" of the Congo state loan fund
at par, making thereby for himself,
about a million francs. M de Lauts-
heer, then president of the committee of
surveyance of this fund, protested ener-
getically against the transaction and sub
sequently resigned, but before doing so,
a written contract was exacted from the
king whereby he guaranteed the differ
ence between the price he paid for the
bonds and the sum at which they were
turned into the Congo fund This is the
reason, when the Root-Foster agreement
for the Chinese re-purchase of the bonds
at 80 was made in 1904, that Leopold de-
clined to surrender those In the Congo
treasury. He asked over par for them.
His present interest in the matter seems
to be to find a way to get rid of the
bonds at least at par in order to avoid
being compelled to restore the million to
the Congo treasury.
1t is said the king expects to see ].
Pierpont Morgan, who was also in the
American-China company, in Brussels
shortly and this interview is expected to
have an influence upon the kings ulti-
mate decision.
