years and only a very few more that

Americans Happy.

Americans of moderate means have
had a splendid time in London this
summer riding in automobiles. AS
soon as they discovered how cheap
London taxicab fares are, they pro-
ceeded to have their fill of what is re-
garded as luxury at home. There
are 5000 taxicabs in the streets of
London, and their proprietors assert
that what with the low legal fare,
sixteen cents a mile, and the rapacity
of the drivers in knocking down
extra fares, the amounts indicated un-
der extra" on the register, such as
carrying one or two passengers above
two (the licensed number) they are
unable to earn reasonable dividends
on their capital. The drivers assert
that they do not knock down, but the
proprietors declare that they have
made Investigations which show that
their employees make from SIS to $50
week for such work as driving taxi
cabs. And they work only five days
week at that.

Ship Owners Angry.

The English ship owners are up in
arms against the ratification of the
declaration of London. This declara-
ton is the outcome of a conference
held in London in 1908 and 1909 of the
ten principal maritime powers, includ-
ing the United States, to decide GER
tain vexed questions of international
law in naval warfare. The declara-
tion, which formulated new laws on
this subject, was signed by the repre-
sentatives of all of the ten powers,
but has not yet been ratified by any
of them. Now the naval prize bill,
which embodies the terms of the dec
laration, will come up for discussion
in the British parliament this fall and
special committee of the London
chamber of shipping is preparing a
report on it, Opponents of the bill
say that the code is too elastic and
that it remains at the discretion of
an officer of perhaps no great expe-
rience to decide whether merchant
man is carrying contraband food, in
tended for use of the enemy, to sink
her. In the past neutral prizes could
not be sunk and had to be released
1t is feared that under the new rules
every officer in command of a COM
merce-destroyer would take no chance,
but promptly sink the ship he sus-
pected

A New Fashion.

One of the reasons advanced for
the continued vogue of dark colors
among the fashion leaders of London
is the announcement that the queen
mother does not intend ever again to
wear colors and has given away many
of the costly and elaborate garments
in the royal wardrobe which she will
never use again. She will wear the
becoming small Mary Stuart bonnet
with the peak in front and the hans
ing veil behind for some time to come
when out of doors, but indoors she
usually wears a white crepe collar
and broad cuffs of the same material.
The kaiser's Example.
Admirers of the kaiser of Germany
who have been accustomed to limit
ing him to limiting woman's sphere
to three departments, namely, church,
children and the kitchen, will be sur
prised to learn that he views with
profound sympathy the general move
ment proceeding in civilized countries
of the world for the amelioration of
the position of women, including
their higher education. The kaiser
recently seized an opportunity of ven
tilating his views on the feminine
movement, and the substance of his
conclusion is as given here. He is a
supporter Of every phase of the new
woman movement with the single ex-
ception of it's political aspect, but is
a resolute opponent of woman suf-
frage. He abhors the idea of women
in political life and believes the intro
duction of women suffrage in any

VICTIM LOSES LIFE SAVINGS
Draws $4,000 from the Bank to

VICTIM LOSES LIFE SAVINGS
Associated Press1

NEW YORK, July 8.-Detectives are
hunting today for two men who, pass
ing as trustees for the Carnegie
thrift fund" yesterday swind!ed an
aged Brooklyn man out of $4,000, his life
savings. Nicholas Jacobs, retired
cigar manufacturer, 50 years old, was
their victim.
One of the swindlers, who was repre-
sented as having won the $4,000 prize
in a thrift lottery" conducted by the
fund. was filled with sympathy for
Jacobs because both Jacobs and he
were fellow martyrs of rheumatism,
and he wanted to divide the prize with
him. The other swindler protested
however, that by the rules of the
thrift fund only persons who had been
thrifty were entitled to share in 1t.
Had Jacobs been thrifty? Indeed he
had; he had $4,000 in the savings bank.
Was he willing to draw 1t out and
show it to his benefactors as earnest
proof of his thrift? He was more than
willing: he was eager to do so.
So he drew out the $4,000 and mis-
friends placed it carefully in box
together with the whole $4,000, when
his rheumatic friend had won in the
lottery, and Jacobs was placed in GUS
tody of the box. But there was mix
up somewhere, for when the old man
finally grew suspicious and went to
police station last night his box was
found to contain a varied assortment
of paper, but no money.
