OLD RECONCILIATION
IS RECALLED
EMPEROR WILLIAM AND DUKE
TRIED ONCE BEFORE TO SET.
TILE DISAGREEMENT.

Berlin. March 2.-The reconciliation
between Emperor William and the
Duke of Cumberland, son of the de-
ceased king OF Hanover followed by
the betrothal of Princess Victoria, the
emperor'S only daughter, to Prince
Ernst August, son of the duke, recalls
a previous attempt at a reconciliation
which came to nothing.
This occurred in 1903 when the en-
peror went to Copenhagen to attend
the eighty-fifth anniversary of the
birth of old King Christian, whose
daughter, Princess Thyra. is the wife
of the Duke of Cumberland. This royal
visit had a much more important OBJ
ject than to improve the relations be-
tween Germany and Denmark. 1t was
to find a wife for the German crown
prince. and the lady selected for the
future empress of Germany was none
other than Princess Alexandra, daugn-
ter of the Duke of Cumberland. The
emperor. according to the story as
told today, had corresponded with the
Duchess Thyra, who obtained the con-
sent of the duke to both the reconcili :.
alton and the betrothal.
One result of the reconciliation was
20 be the agreement that Prince
George Wilhelm, the dukes oldest son,
should become Duke of Brunswick,

LITTLE OLD TOWN "OVER EAST
WARD" TO HAVE BIG CLEAN
ING TIME.

New York, March 2.-To drive out
tons of dust dirt and debris from in
door and outdoor Gotham and create
sanitary surroundings about every
kitchen door, two whole months have
today been prescribed by the authori-
ties of this city as the first clean up"
campaign ever attempted here. Head
quarters of citizens committees
formed to fight dirt and disease in
every neighborhood are now being set
up in the offices of the health depart
ment, where almost a hundred thou

flies, mosquitoes, cinders, smoke, dust
and other uncleanly pests.
Truck Thieves.
Stealing over 200 teams in the first
so days of this year, cunningly organ
lied gangs of horse thieves have just
been found by the police to have run
off with some $4,000 worth of truck
ing property here. Delivery wagons by
the dozen have disappeared from the
residence districts uptown each week
during the quiet mid day hours, and
scores of trucks are known to have
vanished behind their horses in the
late afternoons throughout the down
town section. That this wholesale rob-
berry of horseflesh and wagons can go
On undetected in broad daylight on
city streets is a marvel to the own

Washington, March 2.-During the

birthday Is celebrated, a legend that
Is known to but few and is brought
to mind by the announcement that the
little place Is to be torn down to make
way for a more pretentious struc-
ture, seems opportune.
This building houses the 'Toy
Shop which has been doing business
since before Lincoln's administration
began. 1t is just the same now as
then and countless children during all
those years have been pleased by toys
bought there.
1t Is said that the martyred presi-

compiled at the United States Bureau
of Education, but the number of stu
dents studying law in these schools
increased from 1892 to 20,760 in same
period. There were 1924 graduates
of law schools in 1902 and 4,394 last
year. Law students, having a col
legiate degree, doubled in the ten
years.
Financially the law schools show a
remarkable advance. The endowment
funds jumped from half million to
nearly two million dollars; the grounds
and buildings tripled in value; and the
total income in 1912 was $1,26S000, as
against s523,0O0 in 1902. The $4,000
volumes in the law school libraries
of 1902 had grown to $4,000 in 1912.

able communicative chief for his
army, Tad teased his father to buy
him a company of tin soldiers. These
gaily decorated toys stood on wooden
pedestals, but the tin general was
broken and would not stand. The
clerk in charge suggested that fine

commander and the sale was made. 1t
is said that the suggestion made a
deep impression on the president and
that from it he found a way out Of
his difficulty. Soon after the purchase
the announcement came that Captain
Ulysses S. Grant had been made COM
mander-in-chief of the army.
