KAISER WORKS
TO CHECK BUELS
RESPECTIVE COMBATS THREAT
ENED TO DECIMATE CLUBS
AFTER RACE-TRACk ROW.

BERLIN. Special The Kaiser is
said to have participated not only in
trying to avert the duelS of Count
Konigsmarck, an ex-cavalry officer
and a member of the Union Club of
Berlin, and the stewards OF the Ham
burg Racing Clubs, but also in ar
ranging a settlement between the two
clubs, whose animosity threatens
serious setback to racing in Germany.
The row grew out OF an incident
on Derby Daytime 23d-when the
police, at the instance of Steward
Kaemmerer. elected Count konigs-
marck from a box at the Hamburg
Club race-track at Hamburg because
he refused to get off chair on which
he was standing in the box which
had been rented by the Union Club.
Count Konigsmarck sent challenges
for a heavy pistol duel al short dis
lance to each of the seven stewards.
The challenges were accepted.
Each club held a meeting to dis
cuss the affair. The Union, which
includes the elite of Berlin. support
ed Count Konigsmarck SOlidly. Media
tors have been on their way from
Berlin to Hamburg all through the
week in an endeaVOr to settle the
matter on the basis that the Ham,
burg Racing Club should apologize
to the Count, who would thereupon
withdrew his challenges.
The Racing Club and the Count re-
fused to accept, KoniEsmarck insist
ing that only blood could wipe out
the insult 1t looked bad, as further
challenges were feared from other
members of the clubs, most of whom
are soldiers.
The Kaiser finally took the matter
up. He appealed first to the two clubs
TO stop the row in order to save rae
ing, of which they are the mainstay.
1t was announced on Wednesday that
Steward Kaemmerer had resigned
from the Hamburg Racing Club. This
is taken as an indication of the first
step toward a settlement of the row,
and il is believed that as a result of
pressure and advice by the Kaiser
the incident will be closed without
any duels. which in Germany, unlike
France, are usually of tragic ending.

WASHINGTON, ID. c. Special.-A
live frog that crawled and clawed and
croaked lived for nearly a year in the
stomach of Mrs. l.. V. King, of Dean

cOhol. 1t measures, all told, about
seven inches.
As a tadpole it was swallowed by
Mrs. King i'm well water last August.
Weeks passed before the woman
realized there was some living crea-
ture i'm her stomach. She consulted
doctors. but they laughed at her.
Last spring the frog, now reaching
TO its fun growth. began to climb into
her throat and nearly suffocated her,
and several times she tainted with
pain.
Two months ago Mrs. King de-
clares, the frog began to crOak. She
distinctly heard il many times and
her relatives bear her out. She came
to the Emergency Hospital here and
the frog was pumped out of its hiding
place.
The frog lived ten minutes in a
tub of water. II croaked and sang
just like any regular frog" Then it
died.
According to physicians this is the
first time on record that any creature
of the proportions of this frog has
ever lived in human stomach for the
period of eleven months.
