he POISONED FIT TIL
Lieut.. Hofrichter. Of German
Army, Seeks Promotion, by
Poisoning Superiors.
A JEKYLL-HYDE EXISTENCE.

Especial Cable from the international
News Service)
Berlin, April 9.-There has been an
amazing development in the trial of
Lieutenant Hofrichter, the young Army
officer who is accused OF attempting
last November, to poison some fifty
officers of the Austro-Hungarian Cen
eral STAFF with the object Of clearing
the way for his own promotion. One
of the victims died
A discovery has been paid, which as
the prosecution considers, reveals that
the lieutenant had for long been lead
ing Jekyll and Hyde existence. and
had done so with extraordinary cum
ming. After Hofrichter's arrest the
police went to extraordinary lengths tb
obtain evidence, even exhuming the
body of a young Bohemian girl to
whom Hofrichter had been betrothed
some years ago. She had died very
suddenly. and the suggestion of the
prosecution was that she had been
poisoned.
Another episode in the lieutenant's
career which, brought to light some
weeks ago, was then thought to have
little relevance to the poison plot, has
now become deeply interesting. 1t was
the evidence of young Viennese girl
who went to Linz to answer an adver-
tisement for nursery governess re-
quired by DR.. Haller and his wife.
The police rescued the girl from an
hotel where DIR. Haller'' had, as she
alleged, made advances to her and en-
deavored to drug her. She now recos-

PRINCE NOW 4 MONK
Cousin Of the Kaiser Also
Gives His Fortune to
Catholic Church.
WAS ExILED By EMPEROR

tspeciai Cable from the International
News Serv.ce.9
Frankfort, April 9.-The Kaiser's
cousin, Prince Frederick Henry of
Prussia. eldest son of the late Prince
Albrecht Regent Of Brunswickp has
embraced Roman Catholicism, has ced-
ed his entire fortune to the Roman
Catholic Church, and has entered an
Italian monastery as q monk.
Prince Frederick Henry has had a
remarkable career A few years ago
he was exiled by the Kaiser, who or.
dered him never to return home AT.
ter wandering about in the southern
countries he became sick at heart and
sought consolation in the Roman
Church.
He gave up life of pleasure for
religion, and finally decided to become
a monk. He has abandoned his real
monastery simply as Brother Henry.
The fortune which he has ceded to
the Roman Catholic Church in Italy is
estimated at 81 ,2JO.O 600 and will be de
voted solely to charitable and humane
purposes. Brother Henry lives a hard
life. He inhabits bare stone cell and
sleeps on plank bed. He rises a!
five o'clock every morning and must
scrub not only his own cell but ths
long corridor outside it, besides Ions
fight of steps, working hard on his
knees.
Many hours daily are spent in pray
er and devotion. Other hours are de.
voted to manual labor in the monas
terry garden. 1t is altogether a strange
contrast to the life of luxury and self
indulgence formerly lived by this scios
of the House of Hohenzollern.

PREVENTION AND CURE

of that city have not yet recoV-
~ cred from the effects of the fin
ancial panic and families that for
many months were underfed and over
anxious because work and income had
failed are still in arrears for rent and
eating meager meals, it is surely in
order to suggest that measures be ta-
ken which would prevent starvation
of citizens Of the United States enti-
tied to life, liberty and the pursuit of
happiness.
1t seems to us it is the states con-
Germ to prevent conditions which re-
duce the efficiency of the population,
increase risks of disease and percent
ages of mortality. and interfere with
the best interests of the American ma
ton. We never could understand and
do not believe it is reasonable to eX-
pect a reasonable being to understand
why the human factor in the equation
should not be more regarded in the
problem of social economics.
Poverty is as injurious as a plague,
It's effects are far reaching. No part
of society can be injured without injury
to all society, because society is in
terrelated and causes and effects con-
stitute practically an endless chain OF
sequences and consequences, action
and reaction.
Even as smallpox for years was neg
lected or accepted as a necessary evil
with a result the national visage was
marred, and it was rare to meet men
or women without the telltale ia
cial marks, so poverty is now being
neglected or accepted as necessary
evil and the national visage is being
marred. And the danger to the class
that enjoys a surplus is as great as
the danger to the class that is annoyed
by a deficiency. Poverty is sapping
some of the vitality of the American
nation, and reports from New York in

WILLIAM d. STEPHENS
FOR CONGRESS

TTN HE HERALD feels that 1t can
consistently congratulate our Re-
u publican fellow citizens upon hav-
ing an opportunity at the approaching
primary election of voting for William
d. Stephens as their candidate for
congress from this district. The fact
that the congressional district, contain
ing a constituency which probably av-
erages higher in intelligence than any
other congressional constituency in
America, has for some years been rep
resented in Washington in a manner
which, to put it very mildly, does not
reflect the average intelligence and
ability of the voters, has been an oc-
casion of regret to many citizens.
Should Mr.. stephens be nominated
for congress by his party. and this
district do as it has done for many
years, return a Republican, all citizens
Of whatever party will at least have
the satisfaction of knowing that the
district Is represented in Washington
by man who is in the best sense Of
the word a representative man.
Mr.. stephens announcement of his
platform, which we publish in another
column of The Herald, is from any
standpoint, a very satisfactory decla-
ration of principles and it marks him
as belonging to the progressive wing
of his own party. The opposition
which he announces to Joe Cannon
ism" undoubtedly will be found salts
factory to n large majority of the vot-
ers of his own party, and in that re-
spect as well as many others he has
assumed an attitude entirely different
from the position occupied by the
present representative of the district
at Washington.
While Mr.. Stephens belongs to par
ty for which The Herald has no right
to speak, it cannot forbear congratu-
lating him upon the very sane and
safe" character of his declaration of
principles.

PRAYER FOR REFORM

II ISHOP WHITEHEAD appointed
X an Episcopalian day of prayer for
~ the grafters of Pennsylvania, and
instructed the clergy to preach SER

repentance and confession, intemper-
ance, political chicanery graft and
fraud.
Special petitions were offered, from
which we quote:
20 Lord, the great and dreadful
God, who keepest covenant and mercy
with them that love Thee, and to them
that keep Thy commandments, we
come to Thee confessing our own sins
and shortcomings and those of the
people amongst whom we dwell. We
have indeed sinned and done wickedly.
Save this whole community

perance, lawlessness, the violation of
the Lords Day, the violation of the
sanctity of marriage and every false
way"

citement because they have been DIS
COVERED (they have been in immoral
existence, without being discovered, for
many years of prosperity-shouting) are
unhappily not confined to Pittsburg,
and the Episcopal prayer summarizes
ills that menace the republic.
Repentance no doubt is better than
brazen Indifference; but it will take a
great deal more than repentance to
make amends for the debauchery of
the great republic and the violation of
the first principles of Americanism by
the Internal trusts and their allies, par
asites and hired defenders.
If the story of Pittsburg should cause
a revival Of Americansim, and a de-
termination to adopt the Golden Rule,
the square deal and the Declaration of
independence as the national standards
Of conduct, it will be Of practical bene-
fit to the community. and the snivel-
ing repentants and blubbering hypo-
critics, Caught with the goods" will
have the sorry consolation of knowing
they have not sinned in vain,

COLLEGE MEN

N OLLEGE men in Los Angeles have
formed an association, and will
~ try to make the college influence
felt in the life of the metropolis. In
the brotherhood of college men there
is no assumption of superiority. There
is not a college man who is not aware
some of the most successful men of
today attribute their success to the
fact they had no college education.
At the same time, there is not a
citizen who is not willing to admit a
college training, other things being
equal should give the average man
a method of reasoning out the prob
lens of life which should enable him
to take a more than usually intelligent
interest in public affairs.
Colleges that teach men to think for
themselves are invaluable to nation.
Whatever measure of success many
men of the Scottish race have achieved
in various countries and in many Oc-
cupations is attributable to the fact
the old-fashioned Scottish colleges with
their schools of logic turned out in
dependent thinkers. But colleges that
only teach men what other men have
thought are schools of appreciation
and Imitation; not of initiative and of
action. There are colleges and col
leges Some are like museums of
mentality. Others are like mental
gymnasiums. That's the difference.

Surely President Taft Has No Design
to Send Ballinger to Supreme Court
Csan Francisco calD

retary of the interior has apparently
made up his mind.
1t has never been clear why Bal
linger "butted into" this controversy
1t was not pressing for settlement.
There is no possible prospect that San
Francisco will have use for the Hetch
Hetchy rights for the next twenty
years, as the possibilities of the Lake
Eleanor watershed must first be ex-
hausted by the city. 1t Is not clear
why Ballinger has chosen to invite an
ugly and acrimonious quarrel with San
Francisco and the other bay cities over
a matter which he cannot settle with
finality His decision, one way or the
other, will not decide anything in par
ticular, and will merely keep the ad-
ministration in hot water, even as his
refusal to let 1.-The other side" see the
evidence creates bad feeling and raises
suspicion of unfair dealing.
Ballinger is not the sort of man the
people. like to see raised to the highest
Judicial office and 1t is inconceivable
that Mr.. Taft has ever contemplated
anything of the kind.
The president has had trouble
a-plenty on his hands because of his
selection of Ballinger for place in the
cabinet, but that is trifle compared
with the scandal that would be created
by Ballingers elevation to the supreme
bench.
