that in the course of their investigation
they intended to avoid anything which
might tend 10 embarrass the District At
torney I'm his work on the Rosenthal case,
and the District Attorney had recipro-
Gated by commencing the work OF the
committee.
The trouble started when Mr.. Curran
declared yesterday that the District At
tOrney had called him a liar over the
telephone Mr.. Curran went to the Dis
trict Attorney for advice or the choice Of
counsel soon after the committee was
appointed by the Board OF Aldermen, and

said that he urged Mr.. Steuer as counsel
for the inquiry. and he took occasion yes

When the Kaiser Was Peeved.

Between the German Emperor ana

relation which reminds one strongly
of the two brothers in Thackeray's
"The Virginians." Henry is the sailor
prince Of the Fatherland, though he
has rival in his nephew. Prince
Adalbert. For long he has repre-
sented his imperial brother. and again
and again he has been intrusted with
delicate missions on behalf OF Germany
Born in 1862, Prince Henry married
in 1888 his cousin, Princess Irene OF
Hesse, and, in consequence, is broth.
er-in-law to the czarina of Russia. His
facial appearance closely resembles
that of the Russian monarch, who is
living image of King George Of Eng
land.
Talking of these family matters re-
calls good story told about the kaiser
when he became a grandfather. He
was in the yacht Hohenzollern off
Norway at the time, and only heard
the news indirectly. Angry at not re-
ceiving wire from home, he went
ashore and there found big pile of
telegrams conveying congratulations.
The first one opened was from the de-
throned sultan of Turkey, Abdul Ha-
mid, and he Immediately wired to his
heir-apparent: II learn from the sui
tan that your wife has had son."

take one last smoke. Then we will
break up the box and throw 1t out of
the window, so we will see nothing to
remind us Of cigars"
The next morning both of them
awakened with strong desire 20
smoke. Hewes and the mayor excused
themselves from each other, each de-
claring he had some business to at
tend to. Hewes thought he was safe
and walked past the hotel cigar stand,
but Just as he was about to buy he
saw the mayors eyes turned in his oi-
rection. Hewes left the hotel, walked
a few blocks, bought a cigar and en-
tering the hotei again by a rear en-
trance, sat down in the shoe-shining
chair He lighted his cigar and Just
as he began to enjoy it happened to
look into the adjoining barber shop.
and there was the mayor seated in q
