mittee of the Chamber of Commerce
and the traffic mana gers of the sew
eral railroads entering the city which
was to have been held July has been

desire a representative attendance.
Accordingly, Wednesday. July 23,
has been fixed as the final date. We
earnestly hope you can be present.
Kindly signify your intention at your

New Route to Egypt Planned

London, June 2s-(SpeciaL Lord Kitch-
ener is expected home shortly and his
visit is partly concerned with a scheme
to open a new route to Egypt which is
being promoted by a foreign syndicate
One item in the scheme is the purcha Sc
of the Mariout railroad, and the Khedive
has recently been approached by a group
of French and Italian financiers on the
subject. a's
The railroad, which is a narrow gauge.
runs from Alexandria through Marlout. a
district of Cyrenalea, toward the Tripoli-
tan frontier. 1t will be remembered that
a portion of Cyrenaica was handed over
by Turkey to the Egyptian government
at the beginning of the .Turko-Italian n
war. The construction of the railroad
was started by the Khedive at his own
cost some years ago. The line has from
time to time been extended so that at
present it is about 147 miles long, and is
about 166 miles from the Tripolitan from
tier.
Marlout is the ancient Mariotis the
granery of Europe in Roman times, and
the wheat sheaf of the Roman coat of
arms refers to this district, which was
then watered by many streams, but is
now dried up. 1t is proposed, however.
to extend the Nubarien canal for the
purpose of watering the soil, which is said
to be very productive.

OUTW|TS FACULTY

Champaign, ILL.,, June 2S.-(Special.)-A
brilliant future in his chosen profession
was predicted for one University of Il
lnois law student after he read meaning
into university rules that the farmers
had never dreamed of.
After six years of labor, working his
way through the institution by various
jobs, the student "flunked" In two ire
quired" courses, and was informed by the
law faculty that he could not be grad
uated.
Now. in his six years the young man
had accumulated numerous credits in
other lines. He applied his embryonic
legal skill to the problem. He found that
the courses in which he had 'f1unked'
were listed in the university curriculum
as ''studes which must be taken" He
asked for a hearing before the council of
administration. He brought the curricu-
lum list along.
Observe gentlemen" he said, 'ft says
that the courses must be TAKEN nothing

BY PAULAVILLIERS

Paris, June &.-(Special)- THE "burea u
politique" of the Due d'Orleans at Paris
has issued note in which it states that
1t is authorized ito deny categoricaly
the outrageous fables which have been
circulated in connection with the ac-
tion to be brought at Brussels against

which these are the more important:
That the duchess dowry has always
been entirely in her own hands, deposited
in her name in a London bank. 1t was
recently withdrawn by a representative
of the duchess and transferred to Aus
tria
That the duchess left Wood Norton of
her own rfee will two years ago to live
with her mother in Austria.
That wishing to make Austria her
permanent home, she is claiming alimony
of $4,000 from the duke, who does not
wish to leave his Belgian property and
reside in Austria.
That there is no question of a judicial
separation That the action has been
brought by the duchess's advisers CON
trary to the customs of the house of
France"
An Austrian archduchess before her
marriage, the Duchess of Orleans is con-
nected with the royal antilles of Eng
land, Belgium, Portugal and Bulgaria,
and all the other royal families with
whom they have intermarried. She called
Queen Victoria aunt; the late queen, al
also the prince consort, was the first
cousin of her grandfather, the late
Prince Augustus of Saxe-Coburg. The
wifa nf Pripoa

18TH ANNIVERSARY
OF BURGER STORE
TO Be CELEBRATED
Business Has Grown so
Rapidly That Size of Store
Will Be Doubled Within
the Coming Year

The first of July is the eighteenth
anniversary of the Burger Dry Goods
company. This firm was organized in
July, 1895, by J. Burger, l. Phillips
and Louis Phillips.
Their first place of business was at
1913 Second avenue Only the ground
floor, % feet front. was used at first.
This is the story of the firms organ
ization, as told last night by Sam
Phillips.
Thirteen carloads of merchandise
EN- route to store in this vicinity was
wrecked. The railroad sold the goods
as salvage and the three men who now
own the Burger Dry Goods company
organized a firm to sell out this sal
wage stock. Business was good from
the first day-so good, in fact. that they
decided to keep right on in business.
The company moved to the present
store in 1906. The business has grown
at rapid pace every year since. This
June, for instance. shows so per
cent increase over last June and this
year the store will do over a $500, 900
business.
MIR. Louis Phillips, the president of
the company, at the time of organiza-
ton, was the only practical dry goods
man in the organization and the sue
cess of the business. 1 think, was due
very largely to his ability and deter
mination.
''1t is now necessary and within a
year we will double the size of the
present store or move to a new and
larger building. Our plans are not yet
quite formulated. Tomorrow we launch

brating Is years of prosperous busi-

ASK OIL INSPECTOR
TO AID ''T-B" CAMP
Suggested That Place Be
Given to President of
Local Association

S. J. Bowie last night expressed his
approval of a plan which has been
suggested to assist the Anti -Tubercu-
losis association. IT. is proposed to
urge the board of revenue to elect an
officer of the. association as county oil
inspector with the understanding that
the fees from the office be turned over
to the work of the association.
John c. Henley is now president Of
the association said Mr.. Bowie. "and
1t is proposed to have him elected to
this office which is regarded pretty
much as a sinecure, though 1t has to be
filled. Mr.. Henley would then take the
fees and turn them over to the as
,sociation and this would constitute a
very neat source of revenue.
Major Cameron of the board of rev.
enue is behind the plan and we hope
1t can be worked out. One man can fill
the position of inspector as we'll as
another and since someone must be
given the place we simply want the
revenue for the tuberculosis associa-
ton"

Eyaded Blackmailers

Baroness Vaughan has cleverly escaped
an attempt at blackmail, of which she
was the object. Two men came to her
recently and said that they had written
a suggestive book in which she travestied,
and told her that a publisher had offered
them more than $4,000 for it. If she de-
sired to stop the publication of the book
she had only to pay them twice that
sum. The baroness pretended to be
greatly interested in the matter, and
asked them to come to her chateau on a
certain day. The two men came, and
one remained outside while the other en-
tered. The detectives were hidden in the
room. The man repeated his statement
and read out the headings of the chap
ters. When he had done so the two de-
tectives came out and arrested him. His
confederate was afterwards also arrested
and both have been taken to Paris. The
magistrate ordered them to be locked up
in the Sante prison pending an investiga-
tiOn.
