everything else is his death. They know by expe-

Some few years ago an Austria, MIN stvled
hinhseh Baron yoa Focke was married in St.
Patrlcks Cathedral. New York to an American
woman OF means. whose people he had been able
10 convince OF the grandeur Of his family OF the
authenticity Of his title and Of the lofty enfnence
OF ms social standing in the dominIons of Emperor
Francis Joseph. AS the lady was fortunate enough
10 subsequently secure an annulrnent of her
rage II is unnecessary to mention her name here
But it may be of interest state that he has just
oeen convicted in Berlin series of svvindes and
sentenced to term Of imprisonment. These
swindles he has perpetrated under the Of
Herr Won Focke." by means of story TO the
erect that he was natural OF the late Arch
duke Joseph Of Austria, and entitled TO a very
large bequest under the terms of his will To
suostantiate these stories he showed a number of
documents. including alleged certihcated copies of
the archduke's will, which turned out 20 be forg
cries.
During the course of the proceedings at Berlin
the fact was brought to light that Focke already
at the time when he to the United States
and married here, ex-convict having served
term of penal servitude in Austria for conspiracy
and fraud. 1t is hardly necessary to say that he
has no possible connection, even OF q left hand

tria, while as for his alleged huge beauest from
Archduke Joseph, the latter had nothing leave
having died virtually insoivent.
It seems th6t he is the nlegitimate son of a
woman who married a wel-to-do merchant of
Bremen, OF the Of Focke. who, account
Of this marriage, had left Germany and betaken
himself to Austria, where he adopted his wife's
child But the lad when he grew up showed him
self thoroughly dishonest that Herr Focke
turned him out of his house and declined to have
anything TO do with him, and after the
young fellow had been convicted in Austria OF
fraud some years ago the old merchant transferred
his abode TO Montreux. in Switzerland, in order to

THE LA FAYETTE FAMILY.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir In YOUR issue OF January is an article was
published against which protested. and my letter
having been commented upon, desire TO expose
here few facts
Following the death of the Marquis Edmond de
la Fayette my brother CASTOR de Siourcet ue
Sahune as grandson of Nine. Ado4he Perter
eldest sister Of the late Marquis de Ia Fayette
and consequently eldest granddaughter OF the Cen
eraI de Fayette}, became ipso facto une heao OF
the name and Of the House OF la Fayette

de Ia Fayette family understand the ques-
ton and see that long as a descendant OF
Georges Washington de la Fayette (the onfy son
Of the General Marquis de la Fayette) shaH exist
a descendant of of the daughters OF the general
cannot bona fde be regarded as the representative
of the family This has been recognized in differ
ent vavs and circumstances by several members OF
nv family and when in 1902 the American govern
r,eut sent an invitation to General de Ia Fayettes
family IN assist at the unveiling OF the RochamDeau
statue in Washington this invitation was presented
TO my brother by the American Ambassador IN
Paris, after investigation.
do not mention this fact as a basis 20 the right
20 the title of Marquis de la Fayette. but only as
basis upon which to Justify the claim Of headship
IN the family Of la Fayette. The right to the title
is not indeed, recognized by the republican gov
rr7rnent Of France which ignores the significance
of all titles but II is en- admitted law that the
title follows the name" and numerous are such
examines in France; otherwise the titles OF nooll1y
would naturally become extinct in given period
of time having no source of renewal or or comm
nation The long association Of certain titles
with family patronymcs Is often, as In the present
case one Of such universal acceptance as to seem
a traditional part of the name itself

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
HELP TO sIMPLIFIBD SPELLING.
Phonetics Taught in Three-fourths of the
Public Schools.
TO the Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir Inquiries which 1 am making in some hun
dreds OF public schools throughout the country
show that in than three-fourths phOnetics
are taught and that this training gives greater
mastery In pronunciation. Why not? This exercise
trains the pupil detect the sounds that make up
a word. and theH to reproduce them on blackboard
o. slate. II naturally helps to educate TO quick and
keen analysis. to close observation and thought
It is manifest from the letters to hand that two
things would greatly assist this work: First. that
dictionary makers and schoobook publishers agree
upon uniform alphabet for pronunciation-a sym
Dol for each of the elementary sounds IN ths Ian
guage forty-two in all. Second, that this enlarged
alphabet be so like the common alphabet that eacn
symbol will be easily recognized by any pupil VINO
is acquainted with the common alphabet task
believe that Is altogether within the boundaries or
the possible Much help would come. feel sure,
there a free exchange Of thought on this sub
Ject not much among scholars as among aver
age men-the who really make language
Were such alphabet fer pronunciation agreed
upon and should the teaching Of phoneucs become
universal in our schools. simpHhed spelling would
be put in a much fairer way Of becoming an ao-
compIished fact After ALL the important thing Is
not the length Of the step, but the direction Tne
world grows slowly into any new habit OF thought
or method For hundreds OF years ii kept on think

IRVING PLACE THEATRE.
''Zaza. -

. A German version OF "zaza" was presented last
night at the Irving Place Theatre, with Marietta
Oily in the title part. Mrs Leslie Carter has made
this play familiar to American theatregoers and
set a high standard Of acting for the dominating
character in il.
Miss Oily lacks Mrs. Carters beautifully clear
enunciation and her ability to pass from the ex-
Of quietude nonchalance 10 that OF tenn
pestuous passion. But the German actress has
force, vehemence and not little techaica ability
and her presentation Of the part of Zaza-so con-
genial 10 an emotional sctress-Was credts BILE and
interesting. 1t greatly pleased largS audience.
Magnus Stiff played Dufresne and Julius Strass-
Cascart. The support a whole Of
praise worthy quality.
