A STRANGE RULING

MADE ON DUKES APPEAL
lAmctican News Servicel

Munich. March lis the German
Empress the fully qualified wife of
her husband. in accordance with the
statue Of equality of birth tEbenbuer-
tigkeiti in force in this country:
Is the German Crown Prince the
rightful successor to the imperial
throne Of Germany:
Are any OF the kaiser's children quail
flied for succession to their father
These questions are suggested by the
ruling of a local court in Schleswig-
Holstein, which has decided that Duke
Ernest Guenther is not member of a
reigning royal family. The question
arose in connection with the Duke S
claim TO certain prilieges and exemp-
tons granted to members of such fam
lilies, including the right to refuse TO
TO give evidence before special judi
cial commission at home.
The local court ruled that such priv
iieges could not be extended to Duke
Ernest Guenther of Schleswig- Holstein
This ruling. insignificant in itself.
gains Importance, because the German
Empress is Duke Ernest GuentherS sis
ter. If Duke Ernest Guenther does
not belong to a reigning royal family
by birth. the same ruling applies to the
German Empress. But the statute of
birth requires that the monarch's wife
shall belong to such family, other
wise the marriage with him would be
mOrganatic.
The logical outcome of the local
courts ruling is that the German En-
press is the kaiser's morganatic wife.
and that their children are debarred
from the succession to the throne In
this case. the succession would pass TO
the kaiser's brother. Prince Henry of
Prussia. and his children.
Duke Ernest Guenther has already
lodged an appeal, and will carry the
and there are many grounds for en-
Decting that the local courts decision
will be reversed. If not, it may be an
ticipated that the Kaiser will sweep
away the statute OF equality of birth
which is altogether Anticipated and alb
surd. in order that no undesirable COM
plications should ensue.
This statute, it should be noted. is
not part of the German constitution
but one of the family laws of the
House of HohenZollern. which the
Prussian reigning dynasty shares with
most other continental reigning royal
families.

Washington, March 12.-The ending
of the first year of President Taft s
administration develops the peculiar
ly unfortunate situation of having ev-
cry member of his official family I'M
der charges from the opposition with
the exception of Secretary Nagle of
the department of commerce and la
Dor.
Secretary of the Interior Ballinger
is now being investigated by joint
committee of the senate and house
an inquiry that has been and will to
the end continue to be replete with
sensational charges of misconduct and
incompetency including not only the
secretary but Clifford Pinchot, the
former chief forester and other Of
ficials of the Interior office.
Secretary of War Dickinson is now
explaining to senate committee his
side of the issue, growing out of the
charge that he has given a monopo-
~ to the Pacific Main Steamship COM
pany in the carrying trade between
Panama and ports on the Pacific
coast. The original arrangement gave
the steamship company seventy per-
cent of the rate, when they shipped
through freight to the Atlantic coast
by the Panama railroad it also gave
the company the privilege of buying
coal at Panama at cost. The protest
against this privilege has recently
prompted the secretary to promise
similar favors to a proposed compel
ing line to the Pacific Mail.
Postmaster General Hitchcock has
been charged by members of congress
with using his office simply for poll
tical ends, the efficiency of the postal
service having detediorated in conse-
quence.

Neagh has been attacked for promot-
ing the Chicago packers proposition
TO have the ten cent per pound tax on
colored oleomargerine reduced to a
fraction of cent.
Secretary of the Navy Meyer is in
trouble over his naval personnel pro
position. He has been accused in ser
vice publications and by officers of
the navy of attempting to build up
the power of the social set in the
naval establishment to the detriment
OF the best interests Of the navy.
Secretary of State Knox, as a re-
suit Of his endeavors to force upon
China and the interested powers the
right of New York capitalists to build
certain railroads in the Orient, has
been charged with using the influence
of his office and his department to
promote the financial business Of J..
Pierpont Morgan and his associates.
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson by
being attacked for his defense of the
use Of benZoate Of soda as food pre-
servative. He has also become in
volved in the Ballinger- con-
troversy, having been called as d
witness before the investigating COM
mittee.
Wickersham is Assaulted.
Attorney General Wickersham has
been bitterly assailed by the repub-
lican proeressives. They charge that
his railroad rate bill which proposes
amendments to the present interstate
commerce law. will undo all the good
accomplished by former President
Roosevelt in curbing the railroads.
They also charge that the Attorney
to prevent possible prosecution of the
big men in the sugar trust as a eli
max to the sugar trust frauds in New
York. Anti-Ballinger republicans are
also claiming that the attorney gen
eral suppressed and presented facts
in distorted condition 10 the president
when the Ballinger-Gla -Pinclot
case was before him.
President Taft, with the members
of his cabinet the target of republi-
cans who are fighting his administra-
ton end OF the democrats, is care
fully watching the situation and is
loyalty supporting each member. He
is not ruffled by the charges, having
implicit confidence in the integrity of
the men he has chosen TO aid him in
making his administration a success.
Neither do the cabinet members show
signs of worry. Secretary Ballinger,
day in and day out, is one of the most
cheerful officials in Washington

seasoned politician, is amused. THE

Board of Trade banquet several weeks
ago.
The public can see through the by
pocrisy. the hysteria and hypocriticism
OF the press, ne said.
Secretary of War Dickinson, follow
ing out this line of thought has said
that for a man to take public office
means that he must be held UP 10 at
tack constantly. 1T is not worth
while he declared with emphasis TO
take office in these days" The sec
rotary had just returned from hear
ing before q senate committee which
is questioning the wisdom of his CON
tract with the Pacific Mail Steamship
company in its handling of freight
shipments from Panama to Pacific
coast points.
President Taft. owing to his New
ark. \. J., criticism on the press has
been receiving advice from his friends
as to the policy of such Il declara-
ton. The president was carried away
by the talk of Ex-Governor Murphy, OF
New Jersey. who proceeded him, and
was surprised to find that Murphy

Where His Mistake Was.
He has been told that he should
have named the papers to which he
objects and not hit out blindly Form
or President Roosevelt, he has been
shown, would have not hesitated TO
say anything he thought but would
have been careful TO eXonerate the
great mass Of the press and call
names.

er for d year is constantly the sub
lect of rumOred changes. Secretary

cock have al been reported as about
TO resign. Those familiar with the
conditions do not believe that any
change is contemplated. The men af-
Gected by the reports emphatically
deny them.
