SWISS CANTON BADLY
NEEDS A GUILLOTINE
Imposes Penalty Which 1t Can
Not Carry Out

LONDON, April 9.-The Swiss ju-
dicial authorities are in a quandary.
Two criminals have been sentenced to
death by the guillotine and there is no
means of carrying out the verdict.
The federal constitution in 1874 abol-
ished the death penalty, but a few
years later it was reintreduced at the
instance of half a dozen cantons whose
authorities found crime increasing
within the jurisdiction. Since then the
application of the capital sentence has
been left to the discretion of the vari-
Gus cantonal projects and a reprieve
has always been granted at the la
moment
Now there are two cases of delib
crate murder in which there is not the
slightest excuse for a reprieve. The
difficulty is that there is in Switzer-
land only one guillotine, and that is
in the possession of the canton of
Schaffhausen. which has all along
taken a firm stand against the death
penalty and the cantonal authorities
are under pledge not to lend the in
strument for destroying life
There is much popular excitement
over the dilemma. Some advocate bor
rowing guillotine from France or
Germany; others again hold that IL is
against the dignity of the republic to
ask its neighbors for the means TO
carry out sentence on its own Grim
inals.

of human nature have seen the light.
A few quotations will indicate its
character.
The countess of TaIleyrand evidently
has studied her own sex at least as
carefully as the other. She does not

"A coquet," she says, takes the

PEOPLE TIRE OF
THE BARD OF AVON
Modern Rendition of Dramas
Is Blamed by London Critic

LONDON, April Am interesting
challenge to modern methods in the
acting and producing of Shakespeare
was made before the London Shake
speare league by Henry Arthur Jones.
in the course of a lecture at Kings col
lege upon Shakespeare and the Modern
Stage"
He recently made inquiries, he said.
and found throughout the whole of
England Shakespeare was being played
on one particular night only at two
places.
This was. he contended. only one sign
of many that there was a marked de-
cline in our national interest in
Shakespeare.s There has been a corre-
spending decline in the receipts even at
those theaters where Shakespeare was
produced. and also in the merit of the
acting and the ensemble.
I'm short" said Jones, there is no
getting away from the fact that during
the last 20 years or so the interest of
English play goers in Shakespeare has
been sensibly on the wane.
What is the cause of this? Partly Ii
may be the much blamed spirit of the
age. Modern play goers can not be-
stow the necessary prolonged atten-
tion. Universal education has led to
numbers of people not wanting to be
educated at all. Partly, however, it is
due to the comparatively low level of
some Shakespeare performances and
their wrong methods.
81 have been to Shakespearean per-
formances in London where it was next
to impossible to tell even that the
actors were speaking blank verse. It is
not altogether the actors fault; it is
the fault of their training, or rather
absence of training. You will find some
actors who pretend that blank verse
ought to be spoken 'naturally'-by
which they mean in the same way as a
drawing room dialogue.
There is another point, too. We are
at the end of a convention-which I
may call the Irving convention, the
convention of fine stage pictures, with
Shakespeare own text transposed and
cut down, and with long waits for
change of scenery interposed. 1t was
very we'll so far as it went
But when it came to actually con-
tradicting Shakespeare's own superb
landscape painting it merely stultified
the play. You remember Duncan's fine
description of the view of Macbeth's
castle. 1t must obviously have been
broad daylight at the time. At the
Lyceum the whole speech was made lu-
dicrous by Duncan's arriving at night
by torchlight.
$50, too, with the long waits. A
little while ago I was at a production
of Romeo and Juliet when the curtain
came down three times in the third
act This is the sort of thing that peo-
pie have grown tired Of"

.kAISFR'SCONfIDANT
WANTS NO WORRY
Prince Macmillan Becomes the
Real Maker of German
Policies
TSpeciol Gable 10 The Call

BERLIN, April 9.-Prince Maximilian
maker of German policies today, not
Imperial Chancellor Won Bethmann-
Holweg. Silent, soldierly, skinful. he
is the most vexatious problem Euro
pean diplomats have to grapple with.
Tenders of the chancellorship he has
declined, preferring to prompt the en-
peror and be free from the drudgery
and the responsibility of Office.
After Maximilian Harden's notorious
disclosures made Prince Philip Eulen-
burg permanently an outcast from the
Berlin court. Emperor William looked
earnestly about for new conhdant
to whom he could unbosom himself at
intervals and in whom he would be
certain not to be disappointed. Little
by little, he took to calling into his
councils Prince Egon Fuerstenberg.
Recently, according to Berlin society
rumor, he declared the prince the dis
creetest man in my empire.
Prince Egon is the go-between in
all relations between the emperor and
the Austrian court, which require
delicate handling, for the prince is
both an Austrian and German. He
is the grand marshal of the Berlin
court.
1t is of Importance to note that the
prince is not only on terms of the
closest intimacy with the emperor of
Germany, but Is also the personal
friend of the future emperor of Aus
tria. He is one of the few people who
are permitted to call the Austrian heir
apparent plain ''Ferdy." Being one of
the richest, if not the very richest of
princes in Germany (his wealth IS up
ward of s1O0. .oO0), he can give mag
nificent entertainments in his castle
near Donaueschingen in the grand
duchy of Baden.
