Pleads That Its Business
Is Not Monopoly.

Telephone conversation is not subject to
monopoly within the meaning of the Sher-
man antitrust law, according to brief
filed today in the Supreme Court by the

conversation is unlimited and cannot be
restrained.

CHARACTER OF CROWN PRINCE.
Germany's Future Kaiser Judged by
Book He Helped Write.
,ndence of The Star.


BERLIN, May Ia 1913
The preface and the chapter on the
Garde du Corps Regiment of Imperial
Bodyguards. written by the crown
prince in the sensational book Ger
many in Arms" which SO many wrong
~ suppose was written from cover to
cover by the crown prince himself has
shown a new side Of the future
kaiser's character.
While his own book. dealing with the
joys Of hunting, showed him as an en-
thusiastic lover of nature and a pas
sionate huntsman, his latest literary
effort reveals how greatly another side
Of his character resembles that of his
imperial father. and how strongly his
ideas about Germany's position In the
world have been influenced by him.
Like the kaiser, he has no illusions in
regard to the population OF Germany
among the nations of Europe. and he
sincerely believes that for the fear of
Germany's formidable army the enemies
by whom this country is surrounded on
all sides would swoop down upon II
and rob 1t Of it's annexed provinces on
its eastern and western frontiers. Any
fear the kaiser may have had that his
Oldest son and heir should not prove
to be a true Hohenzollern must surely
have disappeared when he read the
preface, which he could not possibly
have improved upon himself.

CUPID SAID TO HAVE WON
HEART OF PRINCESS MARY
Daughter Of England's Rulers Re-
ported to Have Fallen in Love With
Her Cousin, Prince Erik.
Foreign Correspondence Of The Star.

Foreign Correspondence of The Star.
LONDON. May IS. 1913.
When King George and Queen Mary
toward the end Of last month went
away for several days to visit the Earl
of Crewe they left behind them. like
Sleeping Beauty" in the fairy tale
their little daughter. Princess Mary, all
alone. as far as 1T is possible for a
princess to be alone in the big Buck
ingham Palace. The princess was care
fully guarded by governesses and ladies
of the court, and sentries with big
bearskin caps stood on guard at all
the entrances. So the king and queen
were quite sure that when they came
home again they would find their only
daughter just as they left her. But
they left the little mischievous god
of love out of their calculations, and an
arrow from his culver went clean
through the young princess heart and
filled 1t with strange sensations that
she had never known before.
For there arrived from abroad one
day during the absence OF the king
and queen a young prince, and 1t was
while she was looking at him for the
first time that the arrow pierced the
princess heart He was tall and
straight and slender. with blue eyes
right age, nineteen.
Prince Erik Her Cousin.
The young Prince Charming's name
is Erik. and he is a son of Queen
Alexandra's youngest brother. Prince
Vlademar of Denmark. He went
straight to Marlborough House, where
he was to live as the guest Of his aunt,
Queen Alexandra. and he had not been
there very long before the queen, whose
heart Is as young as ever. and who
knew that Prince Erik was longing to
have a talk with somebody else be-
sides herself and Queen Amelie Of
Portugal. sent for Princess Mary, who
was not slow in coming.
The two young people Immediately
took a liking to each other. During
the next two days, until the king and
queen returned, they were inseparable,
and Princess Mary's parents found
themselves facing a real love affair.
What is to be the outcome of this
royal romance is hard to tell. 1t is
said that so far Queen Alexandra is the
only one besides the young couple
themselves who has any idea of this
little love affair. Queen Mary has
noticed only that Princess Mary Is
changed somehow. that she is sleep
ing less soundly and has grown a little
thinner, SO she has consulted Sir Francis
Laking, who, after examining Princess
Mary, declared that there was abso-
Iutely nothing the matter with her.
But even court physicians don't know
everything, and Sir Francis quite over
looked the wound caused by Cupid's
dart.

BAPT|STS
DISCUSS MISSIONS
Hesitate to Turn Those in Ok
Iahoma Over to South
ern Church.

DETROIT. Mich. May 24.-The re-.
port of the committee on relations
with the southern Baptists was the
first business before this mornings
session of the Northern Baptist con-
vention now in session in Detroit.
During the discussion of the report it
was anticipated a controversy would
arise over the proposition to turn over
to the southern jurisdiction several
missions which the northern church
has established in Oklahoma.
1t is charged that when missions in
New Mexico were surrendered to the
southern church last year number
of northern workers were dismissed
and their places filled by adherents of
the church OF the south. The possibil-
ity of similar action in the Oklahoma
field has created considerable opposi-
ton to the proposed change.
Flashlights Teach Lesson.

ton Is the missionary exhibition" in
charge of DIR. John NJ. Moore, secretary
of the department of missionary edu-
cation.
Several exhibits show wildly the
instance, a cluster of five lights flash
ing every two minutes shows that five
babies are born in China with every
flash. coming into IA world of darkness.
There is a huge dial, the hand of which
moves twice every minute. indicating
that with each round of the hand of
the clock an immigrant enters the
United States. The dial also totals
the number of immigrants who have
entered the country since the convention
began. Last night the number was
6.592.
Prosperous Year Financially.

year has been the best financially in
the last fifteen. When the work was
organized in the missionary field of the
Baptist Church six societies We're
formed. This was in 1914. In 1901 the
income from these societies was $935.266.
while last year the income was $1.S19,-

II is declared by Secretary Daniels that

lack of speed would preclude their join
