| Special Cablegram to The Star.
BERLIN, March 25.-The kaiser is pur.
suing his policy of surrender. Following
his recent confession Of his inability tc
| suppress anti-semitism in his own army
he has now made turn face regarding
| the production of Richard Strauss latest
| opera, Der Rosen Kavalier," at the
Royal Opera House, Berlin. This opera
house is the kaiser's private property, and
since 1t is run at a loss it costs him q
large subvention yearly out of his OWE
private purse.
The kaiser has conceived an intense dis
like to the work Of Strauss and declares
he abhors "Salome," despises Electra "
and that all he has heard concerning
Der Rosen Kavalier" strengthens his
antipathy to the Strauss music. Acting
in accordance with his own tastes, the
kaiser indeed ordered that Der Roser
Kavalier" should not be produced at the
Royal Opera House in Berlin.
Merchant as Rival.
But the biggest department store in Ber-
lin began to run special trains from Ber-
lin to Dresden to enable Berliners to
witness DER Rosen Kavalier." This
raised many acrimonious comments to
the effect that the kaiser's opera house
being national theater ought to be the
very place for Germany's foremost CO.
temporary composer. instead Of which
Berliners were compelled to go to Dres-
den to see the piece.
These bitter complaints reached the
emperor's eyes through the newspapers
and his ear through the various go-be-
tweens, and, bowling to public opinion, he
has now ordered Der Rosen Kayalier''
to be purchased for the Royal Opera
House in Berlin and the production will
take place in the capital early In Septem-
Der. Now the grumblers are blaming the
kaiser. because Berlin will be about the
last of German cities to see this wonder.

ought to be.

The kaiser of recent years has develop

dating from the fall Of 1908, when he
underwent a throat operation. His an
nual trip southwark has thus become q
necessity to his health. On leaving
Corfu he will not come to Berlin. but
proceed to Wiesbaden, where he will take
the cure extending into the month OF
May.
This again indicates q. delicacy of
health and all these unfavorable symp-
toms are attracting considerable atten-
ton in court circles. where everything
centers about the imperial person. and
also in diplomatic and political circles.
where the state Of the emperor's health
is a matter of international Importance.

ITS sCANDALoUS CHARGE.

The church organ, in its issue last
night, saw nothing in the move to close
the stockade but 'barefaced hypoc-
risy.'' This WAS to be expected from
the narrow. minded and bigoted preju-
dice which rules in that paper.
But, when it proceeds to say that
Belle London and her hackers, who
include officials whose sworn duty is to
land such persons as this one of the un-
derworld in prison, intend to close the
stockade and food the city streets with
the inmates of the foul, walled city. y
II goes beyond the decent privileges of
newspaper For, Belle London is now
in the hands of the court. The only
officials whose sworn duty is to land her
in prison are the officials of the Third
District Court. The imputation which
the News casts upon the court and its
officials in the words quoted is both
contemptuous and scaudalous. She has
been convicted of pandering. and the
the legal way in due time 1t is the
Judge IS duty, no doubt, to sentence her
10 prison; but in the meantime the pa
per which says that those whose duty 1t
is to do this are the hackers of Belle
London, makes au outrageous assault
upon the court and upon all connected
with her case If officials whose sworn
duty it is to land Belle London in pri-
son are her hackers let the News point
out those officials who are backing her.
and show that it is their duty to send
her TO prison.
The imputation cast by the church
organ, IL will be observed, is confined
exclusively to those whose duty il is
TO send Belle London to prison. She
is in the hands OF the court. under con
viction; her sentence has not yet been
pronounced. But the Deseret News
says that those whose duty it is TO send
her to prison are her hackers; and since
the only officials whose duty it is to
send Belle London to prison are the
court officials in whose hands she is,
the imputation is direct upon them as
being her hackers.
Evidently the church organ docs not
expect the officials who are backing
Belle London to send her to prison, al
though it is their sworn duty as judicial
officers to carry out the law.
We can hardly imagine what has in
duced the News to fling this contemptu
Gus intimation against the Third Dis
trict Court; but, clearly, 1t has done so
in spectacular and contemptuous fash
ion,
We do not believe that any portion
Of this community will back the News
in this fanatical assault which II makes
upon the court which has Belle Lon
don s case in hand, and we do not be
lievc that a self-respecting court ought
to put up with such dirty TRADE.

TO CONFIRM MARRIAGES.

An Associated Press dispatch from
FL Paso, Texas, says that twenty-five
Mormons had arrived there from Chi
huahuh on their way TO the semi
annual conference of the church in tins
city next week. The dispatch stated that
Gone of their objects is to have the
marriage rites that have been per.
formed among them in Mexico con-
firmed.
1t is not easy TO understand from
that formula Of words Just what those
attendants from Mexico wish to have
done. Surely they could hardly expect
Ito have their plural marriage cerc.
monies approved in the general con-
ference Of the church here, since the
church has come out expressly Ill re-
nunciatiou of all such marriages. On
the other hand if il is simply ques~
| tion Of confirming legal or homogeneous
marriages. it is not easy to see why
these should need any confirmation. Ac-
cording to the law Of the church, any
of the qualified elders. and there are
plenty of these in Mexico, is authorized
to perform a marriage ceremony. If 1t
lis question of the civil law, il is nm
possible to see what the conference has
to do with it In this latter case the
parties would have to appear before

marriage ceremony in order TO have the

On either account, however. it is
hard 10 understand why the marriages

further step. All are presumably legal
except The polygamous marriages, and
these latter will now plead in vain for
any open recognition by the church.
The probability is. that the Mexican
delegation to the conference is bearing
| here the records of marriages that have
been celebrated and that these are
brought for the purpose of having them
entered in the church records in the
usual way And, il any polygamous
marriage should be offered for record,
it would be an interesting thing TO find
out what the church authorities would
do about it, In such case it is quite
supposable, however. that the authori-
tics would accept the record as brought
in from Mexico, asking no questions
and making no distinctions between
plural and homogeneous marriages. In
that case the church would shut one

of the other.

WHY TO MERCY2

The Jury in the case of James MaYes
found him guilty of holding up num-
Der of passengers on late train re-
turning from Saltair beach on the night
of August 9TH. terrorizing them by
shooting and threats of murder, and
robbing them. At the same time, the
Jury recommended Mayes to the mercy
of the court. 1t is difficult 10 reconcile
the action Of the jury with its recon-
mendation. If Mayes is guilty as the
Jury says that he is, of that crime. he
committed dangerous. vicious offense
which might easily have become a cap.
ital offense if the passengers had main
tanned serious and open resistance TO
him while he was holding up the car
and robbing the passengers; IN fact, he
resist or even Undertake to escape from
the car.
The Jury found Mayes 20 be guilty
Of this offense, and necessarily. in or
der so to find, was obliged to find that
his was crime of violence enforced
through terrorism and threats of death,
Where. then. is the basis for n
recommendation of mercy! If Maycs
did these things, as the evidence clear
" shows that he did, and as the Jury
found. what is there in his case that
calls for mercy? The mere fact that
he did not at first begin slaughter on
a car full of helpless people is:no foun-
dation for a recommendation of mercy.
If he had begun numbering the people
he could not have committed the rob
berry because the turmoil would have
attracted attention. the train would
have been stopped, and he would have
had no opportunity to loot the passen-
gers, He was there apparently ready
TO commit murder IN the furtherance of
his crime; and in fact, caused every
one 10 believe that death was his por-
tion if he resisted the robbery; and TO
enforce his murderous threats, he fired
shot wounding one Of the passengers.
1t was robbery with violence. and with
the threat of death to those who were
robbed.
The recommendation 70 mercy Is
| therefore completely at variance with
the evidence in the case, and with the
verdict found. II is difficult indeed

make that recommendation. II is diff.
