Berlin. June 2S.-The crown prince, who
has been going in actively for tennis late
at the annual tournament in Zcppot, be =
ginning on July 6. His partner will be
Lieut.. Carl Lange. crack Berlin tennis
player. who has been coaching him.
A rather amusing example of the IN
conscious sycophancy of the highly
monarchical portion of the press appears
in an article in a Berlin newspaper de-
scribing the crown princes game. 1t
says:
THE crown prince has much talent for
tennis. He has a good forehand stroke,
which lacks only sureness and his back
hand stroke will become good with prac-
tice."
Except for these trifes. 1t appears that
the crown prince IS a fine player.
The paper says also naively: 'If the
crown prince supports his able partner,
even in some measure. he should have
good chance of success"
The Imperial Treasury Department
has drafted bill for presentation to
the Bundesrat and Reichstag legalizing
bookmaking, which has been prohibited
in Germany for nearly thirty years. Of
ficials estimate that Berlin bettors alone
wagered at least 6o.oco0o0 marks In the
last year through the agency of fugitive
''bookies." The greater part was placed
on horses on foreign tracks. mainly
France.
The hopelessness of stopping betting
is realized, and the purpose of the new
bill is to control wages and tax them.
II is proposed to levy 6 per cent for
the State which, obviously, would mean
a gain of many millions throughout the
Empire. Another 6 per cent would go to
the racing associations.
The bill also provides a reduction in
the present parimutuel tax from 1s %
to Il per cent, and also would divide it
equally between the government and the
associations.
From time to time bookmakers are
prosecuted, but the business goes on Just
the same. and officials feel that the
state should profit.

DOwAGER QUEEN Is SUED.

Paris. June 2s.-An interesting case will
come before the Paris courts in a short
time. In 1t the Dowager Queen Nathalie
of Servia is. as the heir of her son.
sued by Mime. Rousselot. the daughter
of a doctor, for $3.50, sum which the
latter claims as due TO her father for
his attendance on the murdered Queer
Draga of Servia. Nine. Rousselot's cast
is as follows: That her father, DR.
Cautel, was called to Belgrade TO attend
the Queen, that ne remained there six
days. and received a hoDorarium of 81. DO
or 500 per day. That next year he re-
ceived an urgent telegram requesting his
presence in Servia, that he left that
evening with an assistant, and remained
in attendance on the Queen for twenty
eight days. His bill OF ss,l60-s2o0 a day
for himself and so for his assistant
was. though repeatedly claimed. never
paid.
Nine Rousselot further asserts that
Queen Nathalie promised TO settle the
bill, but has failed to keep her promise.
The Queen, whose address in Paris 10
given as 81 Rue Notre Dame des Champs,
denies that she is or has ever been
domiciled in the legal sense at Paris.
and argues that as IL is a Servian hertz
age that is in question the claim should
have been lodged before the courts Of
Belgrade. She further declares that
neither personally nor as her sons heir
does she owe any honorarium to Nine.

1t is more than probable, however,
Judging from matters as they stand. that
the prince will ultimately marry a Brit

following the example of his father.

the princesses of certain German courts

to pay another visit to Germany this
