KING MANUEL'S HOME
OF UNROYAL ASPECT
Elk Portuguese Ruler Angry at
London Newspapers for Sto-
ries Told About Him.

London. Nov. S.-King Manuel and
his bride have not yet returned to
England, despite the sworn statement
on the subject published by his private
secretary. He is expected TO appear at
Fullwell Park, however in about ten
days. Externally Twickenham House,
which is the ex-monarch's official resi-
denCe in this country, is In very bad
shape. Windows remain curtainless
and walls dirty, while the lawns are
bare and the garden paths weedy, but
the inside has become habitable and
cOsey.
The servants walk around the halls
in ordinary clothes. All of them are
Portuguese and speak scarcely any
English, including the secretary, who
during the greater part Of the day
wears a long white polo coat. He was
very angry over the "sCandalous state
ments" regarding his royal master and
put an embargo on all newspaper cor
respondents. He says the newspapers
are made up Of lies. lies, lies" 1t has
been rumored that Manuel threatens to
take libel proceedings against two Lon
don papers, but this can hardly he
taken seriously.

KRUPP MEN SENTENCED
Convicted of Bribing German
Government Officials.

Berlin. Nov. s.-Sentence on charges
Of bribery OF government officials was
pronounced to-day on Otto Eccius and
Macmillan Brandt. two former en-
ployes OF the Krupp armament firm
who have been on trial since October 20.
Eccius was fined $500 and Brandt con-
demned to four months imprisonment
which he has already served, as he was
detained for that period while awaiting
trial
The charges arose out OF dcclara-
ton by Or. Karl Liebknecht, the Social
ist Deputy in the Imperial Parliament
that corruption was prevalent among
German army officials.
Several army officers and ordnance de-
partment clerks were convicted by
court marital in August of receiving
brides for giving secret Information TO
Krupp's representatives In regard 10
pending armament contracts. and II ~
reported that other culprits are being
sought.
Further proceedings are limited at
against several directors and ioriner
directors OF Krupp's. who are accused
of possessing knowledge of the system
Of obtaining information from govern
ment officials.
The court. in explaining the sentences,
said Il was proved that Brandt had paid
hills for the entertainment in restau-
rants of officers who gave him informa-
ton; that he then made money loans
and later gifts of money to them the
maximum amount to n single officer De-
ing 375 marks and the total OF all sums
22b marks approximately 5000.
The court assumed that Eccius knew
that Brandt was obtaining information
which the officers were bound to Keep
secret and Eccius must have known
that Brandt was using the nrm money
for this purpose.

Girlhood Friends -
Scaled the Alps.
Grom The Tribune Correspondent

London, Nov. Miss Margaret f.
Gasken. daughter of the novelist. Mrs.
Gaskell died recently at Plymouth
Grove. Manchester. the house to which
her father and mother moved In 1850.
She was 81 years old, and in her had
como down in the twentieth century
trace OF the gifted and radiant period
OF the mid-nineteenth.
She grew up in the morning Of her
mothers fame: she learned Drawing
from Ruskin: Thackerays daughters
were friends OF her girlhood; she first
read the STONES Of Venice" in copy
sent her by Charlotte Bronte; She
climbed the Alps with Leslie stephen
and the Winkworths in the early years
Of mountaineering. and. with her sister
Julia, made the first crossing by a
woman OF the Morning Pass; In Paris
she met the wittiest OF French people
at the house of Mime. Mohl; at Rome
she was, with her mother. the guest or
w. W. Story. when the English colony
at Rome was what is shown In The
Newcomes."
The house at Plymouth Grove was a
meeting place of brilliant and accom-
plished people seldom seen gathered to-
gether I'm a great Industrial city. LORD
HoughtOn. the poet. said the house was
the one thing that made Manchester a
posslble place OF residence for people OF
literary tastes, but Mrs. Gaskelrs own
feeling for Manchester was very different
from that. for she delighted TO bring TO
the city an endless stream OF English,
Continental and American visitors VINO

None Of her daughters can have sec
onded her more eagerly In this than the

OF new books and the enjoyment OF new
sensations Of travel.
Miss Giaskel was mid-Victorian almost
10 the day OF her death. for her CONVEX
satlon was replete with an accent Of
fragrance OF a time gone by, almost a
direct archasm. Her mind was open;
she read new books; looked at new pict-
ures; saw new plays; heard new music.
hut she carried TO them all the Judgment
OF a witty and proud friend Of the old
Victorlans. and tempered her judgment
with a kindly amusement with which
those who grow old sweet temperedly
sometimes regard tho new periods into
which they have lived.

NOTABLE CAREER ENDED SEEK NEW HEAT MEASURE
Scientists Need a Gauge to
Record $500 Degrees.
WORLD STANDARDS URGED
Metric Conference Working to
Internationalize Weight
System.

Paris. oct 3l.-The problem Of interna-
tionallzlng weights and measures was dis
cussed at the fifth general conference of
the metric system, which has just fin
ished its sittings in Paris. Since the last
conference, four years ago. some dozen
important countries have adopted the
compulsory use OF the metric system.
Among these are Denmark. China. Japan,
the five republics OF Central America Bull
garia. Chill Uruguay and Siam.
Other countries seem inclined to follow,
and in the opinion OF NJ. C. f. Guillaume.
OF the dictatorship OF the French Bureau
of Weights and Measures. there is no
doubt that the universal adoption Of the
metric system in It's entirety is only a
question OF years"
Modern industrial methods have COM
pletely revolutionized the work OF the
metric conference. Whereas formerly It
was chiefly concerned with the length
unit Il has now widened its scope TO in
clude all the measures used in science
and Industry resulting from the discov-
cry and application OF electricity, wire
less telegraphy and the general use In
industry of delicate scientific processes of
all descriptions
Samuel w. Stratton, director of the Ma
tional Bureau of Standards at Washing
ton and a member of the international
Committee OF the Metric Conference. said:
''The Importance of the work OF the con-
ference lies not so much in the system OF
measurements adopted. but in the gen.
eral agreement on what is meant by any
given measurement
Unless this agreement is arrived at II
is impossible to reproduce. internationally
or nationally. processes which have been
once established. For instance, however
accurately n given length unit Is cut, II
will vary with the temperature. and II Is
of supreme Importance in reproducing a
delicate process to know whether the
given length unit is to be used at zero
degrees or at the ordinary working tenn
perature.
II Is also imperative that an agreement
h, reached as to exactly what is meant
nv n heat measurement as applied TO
different metals and other substances.
"A third important work undertaken by
the international bureau is the establish
ment OF gauges for measuring heat and
cold far above the ordinary temperatures
necessitated by the use Of electricity and
liquid air.
TT is of great importance TO be able
% measure as far as ITO degrees below
and some 1000 degrees above zero. and
these measurements doubtless soon will
have to be greatly increased. one Ameri-
can electrical firm has already asked me
20 establish an accurate means OF meas
ring heat up to $500 degrees"

DATO APPEALS TO SPAIN
Will Resign if Country Fails to
Indorse Him at Polls.
tBy Gable TO The Tribune

Madrid, Nov. S.-The political cam
paign for the next parliamentary cleo
ton TO be held in February has begun,
and promises to be perhaps the most
important ever held in Spain. The
fact that both OF the old larger parties
have split into factions makes the out
come very uncertain.
There will be no fewer than SIX dif-
ferent parties in the field. Senior Dato'
in an interview to-day, stated that the
government will maintain the strictest
neutrality and that he will resign un-.
less his administration receives an In
dorsement by the country at the polls.

GERMAN REFORM URGED
Change Advocated in Foreign
Office Methods.
SECRETARY A FIGUREHEAD
Holds His Position Merely
by Following Kaiser's
Suggestions"
tBy Gable to The Tribune. I

Berlin, Nov. S.--Once more the ques-
ton of the comprehensive reform Of
the German Foreign Office is being dis
cussed in the Berlin press and will also
be debated at the coming session ofthe
Reichstag. 1t was long since found
that the imperial administration of for
eign affairs was far too conservative in
its business methods.
While il has not yet been proposed
for Herr Won Jagow to go on lectur-
ing tour, like the American Secretary
of State and apostle of peace, several
suggestions now at hand tend to reno
vate the spirit of the famous house in
Wilhelmstrasse, which is truly Bis
MARKHAM, in spirit even az this day.
The browning evil seems TO be that
the Secretary of State for Foreign At
fairs is only the third man within the
empire and has nothing to say about
foreign politics. Unless the Secretary
of State happens to have an overruling
PERSONAL---VERY. which case he seldom
remains in office for period Of any
length-he is under the present system
nothing but an official with a pretty
uniform, who receives the foreign am
bassadors and signs documents. hold
ing his Job merely 10y following "sug-
gestions" made by the Kaiser
No foreigner can understand Ger
manys foreign policy unless he first
understands that Germany's only For
eign Secretary of State is the Kaiser
himself. This system has obvious adj
vantaRes when the Kaiser happens to
he a man Of extraordinary intellectual
gifts. like Wilhelm II. and consequently
builds up foreign policy of his own;
but should a man of lesser gifts come
to the throne, difficulties would swiftly
heap up.
After the Kaiser the second German
Foreign Secretary is the Imperial
Chancellor. who is responsible for the
Kaiser's policy before the Reichstag.
Under the present regime the position
Of the Chancellor is that OF a consult
ing secretary, but examples are nu-
merous when important changes in
Germany's policy have been decided
without the Chancellor being consulted
at all.
Then comes the last and least For
eign Secretary. and it is hoped and
suggested in many quarters that sys-
TEN should now be launched giving him
more real influence; but the Kaiser is
personally opposed to any measure OF
that kind, and as long ss he reigns
things will probably remain as they
are

Rich Foreigners Entrapped.

The danger is, in fact, that in Berlin
gambling is possible for any man who
can afford to pay the entrance fee Of
so-called private club. the fee usually
being s.. Rich foreigners, mostly North
and South Americans, are entrapped by
members of these clubs who are nothing
but professional gamblers. The victim
believes that he is dining at an ordinary
club, and the excellent food and the ex-
quisite wines not to speak of the most
commendabe cigars and brandies, lead
him to form a high opinion of German
hospitality. After dinner. however he
is sklfully pioted to the card table and
permitted to lose large sum TO his
hosts
Another class of gambling dens, and the
lowest is found in the back rooms of in
Vulnerable cigar shops or cafes. The
stakes there vary from 500 TO s., and 10
avoid the Intrusion of the police a porter
demands the secret password at the door
1t has happened, and still happens every
week or So that the police ind out this
secret password, and then manage to
break into the den. The raid generally
finishes with the seizure OF the stakes and
the arrest of the club manager.
The newest Of the Berlin clubs has been
the women's gambling club, which in
cludes, it is said. some 800 members. The
club is ostensibly maintained for the adj
vancement of physical culture, but rou-
lette and trente ct quarante are the real
attractions.
In view of the ever increasing number
of gambling scandals. suicides, flights and
disgrace. It is highly probable that the
German government. acting on the timely
suggestion OF the Kaiser. will take such
measures as TO render gambling wellnigh
impossible. The best way, and the sim
plest, 1t is urged, would be to levy tax
on gambling
