Berlin, July S.-Great interest has
been excited throughout Germany by
the unusual case of German prince
in, direct line of succession to the
throne, preferring parliamentary
career to a military one and with
drawing voluntarily from the army.
Prince Macmillan of Baden, hold.
ing the rank of a major general and
commanding the 2Sth Cavalry Brigade
has retired from the army, according
to an announcement in the official
Karlsruhe Zeitung," because his re-
Isponsibilities as president of the up
per house of the parliament of Baden
left him no time for his military duties.
So remarkable was this step in Ger
mang that the official version received
seant credence, and rumors that the
Princes retirement was due to per
sonal conflict with Emperor William,
the 0ver-Warlord, were current until
formally denied by the military SUI
perior of Prince Maximilian.
Prince Maximilian, as president of
the Baden House OF Peers, has shown
himself more liberal than the majority
of peers, coming out strongly in favor
of an act on village administration,
indersed by the socialists and the Ba-
den ministry, but rejected by the
house of peers.
Though more than six years have
passed since the marriage of the Ger
man Crown Prince and Crown Prin-
cess the wedding present of the Prus-
sian cities to the imperial couple is
only now approaching completion 1t

tumn, before the departure of the
Crown Prince to take up his remote
military command at Danzig.

CALL FOR GRAND JURY
TO INVESTIGATE ELECTION

Shawnee, Okla, July 10-A county
seat contest between Shawnee and
Tecumseh has resulted in the petition
of Tecumseh citizens asking Judge
Wilson of the district court to call a
special grand jury to investigate the
county seat election. The petition was
circulated soon after Shawnee citizens
petitioned Governor Cruce for an in
vestigation of the books of Pottawa-
tomie county officers. That investiga-
tion will start this week. The county
seat contest may result in Pottawa-
tonne county being divided into two
counties.

POPE Leo HAS TO READ
PAPERS TO KNOW ILLNESS


! Rome, Italy, July S.-Pope Leo. es-
pecially in the later years of his Ponti-
fcate. was accustomed to go to bed
quite well and wake up to find him
self reported at the point of death.
So accustomed did he become to this
that he used to scan the paper ito
find out the state of my health today"
Up to within year or two. Plus X,
was almost free from this kind of an
noyance, and when such a statement
was made, allowed himself to be seri-
ously discomposed and took the trou-
BILE to try and discover the source of
the yarn. Once a rumor of the kind
reached his sisters, who, hurrying to
the Vatican, insisted on seeing him,
although there is a strict rule that
they must give notice of their visits.
Thus some difficulties were made for
them, but when they did enter his
presence their surprise at his robust
condition was so great that Plus X.
laughed with amusement, exclaiming,
did you expect me to be shrunken
to a shadow? But your expressions l
should say that you are disappointed
to find me well!"
At the present moment something of
the kind is taking place. According
to the rumors the Pontiff is seriously
i'll and a conclave is imminent. This,
of course, is nonsense, but certainly
he is not the man he was, and the
trouble can be described with one
|word-gout. There is absolutely moth
ing else the matter with the Pope, but
those who watch him find that he re-
covers ever more slowly from each
attack, and in consequence is more
languid, takes more rest and does less
work But this is only natural, and
when his rs years is taken into con-
|sideration, it must be acknowledged
that he has wonderful strength and
vitality. If nothing unexpected hap
pens he should round out four score
Years.
Plus X. is essentially a genial man.
He loves his kind and enjoys the
breath of fresh air which he gets from
the outside world through audiences.
For this reason he is apt to prolong
the receptions, and so uses up the
time that he should be resting, but
all remonstrance is in vain, the usual
answer being, II am not made of pa
per, let me enjoy what I can!"
Recently the visits of his sisters,
who live "just around the corner"
have been more frequent, but his
health is not discussed, as he does not
like the topic "Just as though I were
an invalid" he cried the other day
Thus the good ladies confine them
lselves TO pleasant gossip about home
affairs His Holiness still takes a
most effectionate interest in all the
members of his family. The latter,
however, do not profit by his exalted
position. The inn at Riese is kept just
as before. his nephew's wife still
teaches the primary class in the vii
lage, and his brother is still postman
Plus X. certainly cannot be accused
of nepotism.

GIVE SHOWS FOR DONATION.

Theater Men VIII Establish Collection
Box-Doors Open Sunday.
Wichita, Kan. June Ave will"
will"
You won't
The first saying is by the moving
picture theater managers.
The second saying is by the sheriff
of Sedgwick county.
Both sayings refer to the proposed
opening of the theaters next Sunday
afternoon.
The owners of the theaters declared
positively today that they will open
their doors Sunday afternoon at 2
o'clock.
The plan to evade the state law re-
garding the Sunday closing of thea
tiers, to be adopted by the theater
owners, Is to give free shows. The
people working for the theater owners
have agreed to donate their services
for that day and in this manner the
owners hope to get around the Sunday
labor law. A donation box will be
kept at the entrance of the theater
and while no one will be forced to
pay for admission, the theater owners
anticipate that no one will have nerve
enough to enter and see the show
without first dropping nickel in the
donation box.

is only P to slay her child, she appeared overcome with grief. She had nothing to add to the confession she made to Chief of Police Quigley in Rochester, the burden of which was that she was unable to find a suitable home for the child, and, in a fit of despondency, gave him a draught of carbohc acid when he asked for drink of water.
 On the theory that Mrs. Melber may have had an accomplice who prompted her to the terrible act, the police are looking for an intimate friend, who is said to have left Sche- nectady about the same time she did and to have started for San Fran cisco.
 The authorities of Kansas City have been asked to intercept this man, the police having learned that he was to stop in that city en route to the coast.
 Tha Mrs. Melber considered the lad a handicap is shown by her represent ation to many of her men friends that the boy was her nephew, the son of an alleged dead brother. She told a Schenectady plumber, to whom she is said to have been engaged, that she was an unmarried woman, and had adopted her brothers child.
