BIR ARMY SCANDAL
IN KAISER'S CAMP

Berlin. Another military scandal
is causing a sensation in Germany,
and has again directed public atten-
ton to the mode of life which pre-
walls in a certain section Of the kais-
er's army. Baron and General Won
Gagern has been proceeded against
by Frau Meensman, the divorced wild
ow of Meersman to secure the sum of
$4,000 for her own maintenance and
for the support of two children whose
father the general is alleged to be.
The history of the unpleasant af-
fair goes back to the year 1895, when
both men were comrades in the Berlin
garrison, the general being then a
major and the other a lieutenant. Won
Meersman became aware of the re-
lations of his wife with the baron,
but in order not to spoil his own mill
itary career, or for some other rea-
son, he took no steps against his SUI
perior officer.
After some time, unable to proceed
against Baron Gagern, who had rap
idly risen to the rank of general,
Major Won Meersman left Germany.
resigning his position in the army
and leaving his wife with the general.
Some details of the affair leaked out,
but in no way did they interfere with
the generals rise in the service. He
was promoted to a high command on
the Rhine. In 1908 the general,
wearying of Frau Won Meersman, mar
red his housekeeper, and at the same
time ceased to contribute to the sup
port of his discarded mistress and his
children. Frau Won Meersman now
brings this action with the object of
compelling the general to fulfill his
obligations.
Some years ago the general was i'm
plicated in another scandal of an
equally unsavory nature. A Carls-
ruhe, painter of considerable prom
inence, committed suicide, but short
ly before his death sent the general
his latch key with the remark that
his death and the latch key were both

Repairing Levee.

Councilman Joe Ell of the levee
committee announced today that in
pursuance to instructions given his
committee, several days ago, some ex-
tensive repairs had been made on
the levee. Weak places in the rip
rap have been strengthened and all
that now remains to be done is the
construction Of fourth crib to pro-
tect the west end of the levee. 1t
will be located about 800 feet from
the west end of the levee and it is be-
lieved that it will serve as a per-
manent protection. The repairs al
ready made have cost SITS, while
the crib will cost $3.50. The work is
being done by Fred Stickler.

LONG DISTANCE TO
GO FOR A SMOKE

New York.-After an ocean race of
13,400 miles that led through the In
dian ocean, round Cape OF Good Hope
and across the Atlantic, the Norwe-
gian barkB, Gaa Paa and Bonanza
reached this port within three hours
of each other. Both ships left Pc
dang. Sumatra, on April II, and Cap
tain Tellefsen of the Bonanza, told
how he got here first, winning a ci-
gar from Captain Ansen of the Gaa
Paa.
Captain Ansen and had chatted
the night before we left and as joke
I said would bet him a cigar would
reach New York first. When we
rounded the Cape Of Good Hope we
ran into small, nasty squalls and a lot
of rough sea, but once in the Atlantic
we had everything our way

TO STOP AT QUEENSTOWN.
Cunard Line Resumes Calls at Irish
Port

Dublin.-The decision of the Cum
steamers, with the exception Of the
Lusitania and Mauretania, should re-
sumo calling at Queenstown on the
eastward voyage, may be directly at
tributed to the powerful influence
exerted by the Irish party on behalf
of the south of Ireland port.
From the moment that Queenstown
was abandoned the members of the
Irish party, both collectively and in
dividually threw themselves heart and
soul into the matter, and they have
never missed an opportunity to press
home the interests both of Queens
town itself and Of the whole Irish
business community.
From this 1t seems that the Irish
party ramifies in more than a political
direction. 1t has the good of Ireland
at heart and overlooks nothing which
might tend to promote the prosperity
OF progress Of the Isle.
1t will be remembered that only a
few months ago Mr.. Redmond, who
was accompanied on the occasion by
almost the entire party. introduced an
influential deputation to the post
master general on the subject and that
Captain Donelan also organized de-
putations to the Cunard directors and
to Mr.. Hitchcock, the American post
master general Captain Donelan, in
particular. is to be warmly congratu-
uated on the present result. He has
been a tireless watch dog of the in
terests of his constituents. and his in
fluence and popularity with his col
leagues largely accounted for the
keen interest which they manifested
in the matter.

young men in the middle and upper
classes" of society selfishly postpone
marriage so that they may live in a

more money to spend on holidays.
They like the pleasure Of ladies' So
ciety, but they forego its natural CO.

to themselves that they will marry
some day, when their business is lar
ger, when their salaries are higher,
and when they have had their fling.
Unfortunately, these people grow old
and remain bachelors until they die

LONDON WOMEN USE DOPE.
Physicians Declare Opium Habit
Spreading Fast Through Ranks
of Society


London.-According to an evening
paper not given to sensation mon
gering the opium habit is spreading
rapidly in London, especially among
the "smart" women Of society.
1t has always been difficult to dis
cover the facts regarding an evil Of
this kind, but evidence appears to
have been obtained from medical men
and other sources which leaves no
room to doubt that the use of the in
sidious drug is working widespread
havoc and sending many victims to
the prisons and inebriates' homes.
1t is even alleged that the habit is
encouraged by small groups Of West
End practitioners, who supply opium
with full knowledge Of the use to
which it is being put. In most cases
however it is obtained by cunning and
Misrepresentation.

PREACH AGAINST
LmENGTHEN|NG OF
SALOON HOURS
South Orange Clergymen Will
Also Protest to Board
of Trustees.

Opposition was started by clergymen
Orange churches yesterday against the
possible passage tonight by the Village
Board of Trustees of an ordinance
Iengthening the hours in which liquor
may be sold in the village. AS a re-
suit petitions have been circulated and
will be presented to the trustees to-
night.
The proposed ordinance. which was
introduced at the May meeting of the
village board and which will come UP
for further consideration tonight, VIII
allow the saloons to remain open until
midnight instead of closing at IL
o'clock, as Is TO- the rule.
Until a few months ago the saloons
were kept open until midnight. Short
ly before retiring the old Board OF
Trustees. however, shortened the
hours. 1t is now proposed to restore
the old selling hours. This. 1t lis said.
Is being done because the South Or
ange hotel is allowed to remain open
the extra hour. The hotel license is no
granted by the village authorities, but
by the Court of Common Pleas.
Clergymen will be present at the
meeting tonight and speak against the
proposed change. The petitions will
also be presented at that time.
In the Church of Our Lady of Sor-
rows, at the masses yesterday. the
Rev. James J. Hall, rector. advised his
flock to affx their names to the petition.
1.-The trustees were elected as repre-
sentatives of the people Of this village,
and therefore they should heed such
a request" declared the priest. They
surely were not elected to represent a
rum party"
dist churches the pastors, the Rev.
David De Forest Burrell and the Rev.
Perry H. Murdiek, also advised their
hearers to protest.

DENY REPORT OF
AUTO TRIPS AND
DINNER PARTIES
Kearny Health Board Members
Say Politics Is Respon-
sible for Story.

The charge that members of the
kearny Board of Health have been
wasting the boards funds on dinners,
automobile hire and theatre parties, as
stated in a published report. Is emphat-
icaily denied by the members. 1t Is
limited that there Is a bit of politics In
the story and hat someone is trying
to make a mountain out of a mole hill.
1t is pointed out that only one trip
of inspection has been made within a
year and that 1t Is always customary
to visit the places named before the
issuing of licenses each June. 1t Is
also said that a vehicle of some sort
has always been used to convey the
members to the distantly separated
concerns.
Il have been secretary of the board
for two years." said DIR. John B. Thorn
son In Arlington to a Star reporter last
night, "and I have had ample chance,
l think, to know what was going on,
but I have seen no such Irregularities
as those mentioned. This is the first
hat l heard about such a thing. I am
quite sure that there Is nothing in IT.
After the last inspection, from
which I went directly home, I under
stand that a few of the members of
the board went to Newark, had some
thing to eat and saw a show after
ward, but l am sure that there was
nothing extravagant about 1t. and I
understand that each man paid his
way. So far as I know the funds of the
board have been very carefully
handled"
