H0NORED BY THE KAISER

is a commanding and somewhat mys-

kruppS are never interviewed. They
do not make speeches, or write books,
or allow their personalities to be eN-
plotted in many ways considered quite
proper and usual in correct circles in
the United States.
About Bertha Krupp, as around her
father, grandfather and great grand
father. a crop of legends and tales of
varying degrees of probability has
grown up. Her personality has caused
much interest and has been subject to
as widely differing interpretations as
that of a royal parsonage. Indeed, she
is royalty to a great degree. The
kaiser never came into the vicinity of
Essen during her fathers lifetime
without paying a visit to Krupp. He
paid krupp a regular annual visit be-
sides. This is an honor usually re-
served by the kaiser for royal families
Moreover, the kaiser has conferred
on the Krupps a peculiar distinction
unique in Germany, if it's like is TO be
found anywhere. BY imperial decree
he has allowed Bertha's husband to as
sumo the name "Krupp" in addition ID
his own. The little son Of the cannon
maker also will have the right to The
name, but a second son could not ust

name krupp shall descend like the

Her Personality.
Al first glance one sees in Frat
Krupp only a somewhat plain. stolic
German hausfrau of more than aver
age height. But deeper study reveals
clearly the Krupp intelligence, firm.
ness and iron pe%rtinacity. "Arro.

this section, however, from which only
scattered returns have been received,
the situation Is reversed, Byrne usually
getting a larger vote than Burke.
Brooklngs county reports a majority
of 129 for Johnson, but about 225 for
Byrne. The vote for Loucks for SEN
ator and Richards for governor is very
SMALL.
The Codington county result, show
ing Burke leading Byrne, reflects the
strenuous opposition to the governor
in Watertown, where he was cut hard,
especially in one ward, and is no indi-
cation of the general trend of returns.
The Watertown Public opinion this
morning claims the election of Byrne
by about 1000. but admits ONE doubt
as to Burke.
The Hamlin county seat fight, of
years standing. was settled yesterday,

jority over C~astlewood above the le-
gally required figure.
