presented to her a few years ago upon the
occasion of her birthday by the car and
czarina. She Is often chaffed by members
of her family regarding her preference
for furs and fur-trimmed garments, and
a short time ago his present majesty was
asked what he thought she would wear
upon the occasion of a yachting trip In
the Solent.

with a humorous twinkle in his eye, but

fur on it,
Queen Mary's furs are all carefully stored
at Marlborough house in such fashion that
she can obtain any set she requires at a
moments notice. They are also subjected
to very careful scrutiny from time to time
by specially selected experts. Another
royal lover of furs is the princess royal

CUSTOMS OFFICERS AT WAR
Fierce Fight with Smugglers in Mo-
tor Car.
HEAVY IRON BAR IS WEAPON
Chauffeur Rushes Past Obstacle in
the Roadway and Officer IL
Cast Aside with
Broken Arm.

BRUSSELS, July 2--(Special Dispatch to
The Bee.)-A fierce fight between customs
officers and smugglers in motor car
took place at Boelcheppe, on the Franco
Belgian frontier. The two officers, Spelle-
but and Sommier, were watching the road
when they saw motor car coming full
speed towards them. Three men were in
the car, including the chauffeur who re-
fused to stop when called upon. So ono
of the officials promptly swung barrow
across the road. The smugglers seeing
that it would be impossible to pass the
obstacle, thereupon tried to turn around
but before they could do so the customs
men were upon them. Spellebut jumped on
the step Of the car. but one of the SNUG
glers seized a heavy iron bar and aimed
a terrific blow at the officer, who avoided
It by jumping off the car. His .assailant
also jumped from the car and took to his
heels, with Spellebut after him.
At this moment Sommier reached the car,
which was already I'm motion. He tried
TO stop the car by thrusting his bayonet
into one OF the tires, but finding this of no
use jumped up behind and chung TO the
hood Spellebut, unable to catch the
smuggler who had run away, now turned
to help his comrade and fired two bullets
into the tires OF the car which was al
ready going at fun speed.
\ desperate struggle took place between
Sommler and the smuggler in the car, who
tried to force him to let go his hold. The
chauffeur had evidently made up his mind
70 take desperate measures, for he set
the car straight at the barrow. which was
swept out of the way and the motor rushed
onward. Sommier made a last frantic
struggle to seize his antagonist, who, coll
lcctlng all his strength succeeded IN throw
ing the officer into the roadway. where
ne lay with a broken arm. Spellebut fired
two more shots at the tires but the car
was quickly out OF sight.
The chauffeur, who succeeded in saving
the car, is supposed to be notorious

1t seems inexcusable in a city the size
Of Omaha that the citizens must put up

such as is in effect now" said w. NJ
Groves, who lives at 1924 Maple street
This morning he looked out upon the body
OF horse that was shot by the police
Friday afternoon at Twenty-fourth and
Maple streets. Notice was sent the con-
tractor who has the removal of carcasses
In charge and men came and dragged the
body off Twenty-fourth street and left il
all night in the street.
Omaha is certainly big enough to have
more up-to-date system than this" Mr.
Groves added. II would not speak Of this
one instance, but these delays have con
tirually happened in my neighborhood and
the citizens are tired OF them. Repeated
notices have been sent the contractor b.
citizens and, l understand, by the police.

QUEEN MOTHERS OF EUROPE
Interesting Group of Women Now il
the Public Eye.
ALEXANDRA OF ENGLAND LATEST
Her Close Association with Her Sis
ter of Russia One of the Pa
thetic Features of Her
Bereavement.
BY LADY MARY MANwAR1NG.

LONDON, July 2-(Special Dispatch to
The Bee)-One Of the most interesting
women in Europe today is the queen
mother Alexandra.
There is something deeply pathetic about
the reverence shown by the queen mother
for the memory of the late king 1t would
seem to be her majestys desire not to dis
turb In the slightest degree any of the ar
engagements in the late kings apartments
which serve to suggest to her sense of
his genial personality, The death chamber
at Buckingham palace today is. in exactly
the same condition as it was when his late
majesty, at the close of his LIES journey,
was removed to the throne room. In fact,
all the personal effects of the late sover-
eign are To be found in the same place as
they were in the DAYS OF his full activity.
Moreover, no one has been allowed into
the room By her majesty, who Is constantly
In and out and has constituted herself the
sole guardian OF King Edwards suite of
rooms in the palace.
A charming story which illustrates Queen
AleNandra's complete confidence in the af-
fiction of the people explains why the En-
press Marie OF Russia was the royal Wild
ow's companion In her mourning coach at
King Edwards funeral The officials were
much concerned for the safety OF the en-
press, who Is known to be the object OF
many anarchist plots. a military guard
was out of the question since the empress
could not be treated differently from other
august personages, When the officials were
al their wits end Queen Alexandra solved
the problem by declaring that her sister
should ride in her carriage

safe with me-" And Marie was, for every
man. woman and child along the route

Now that Queen Alexandra has become
tho queen-mother II is interesting to note
what large number Df dowager queens
there are In Europe at the present time
Russia. Spain, Portugal and Italy all hav,
their dOwager queens and they includ,
some OF the most interesting personalities
in the royal courts of today.
