Arthur Hamilton Lee, former British military attache at washing ton, and now conservative member of parliament; R. Newton Crane, of the American society in London, and oth- CT American citizens resident in the British capital.

 After being the guest at luncheon of Ambassador Page, Col. Roosevelt proceeded in motor car to Checquors Court, the country residence in Buck inghamshire of Lieut.. Col Lee, where he will spend a quiet weekend.
 It is possible that Col. Roosevelt may see King George before his departure from England. His Majesty is spend ing a week at Windsor Castle but no arrangements have been made for 8 meeting.

WOOD FIRES DUE
 TO CARELESSNESS

New Haven, June 13-Ten years experience on the first publicly own ed and managed forest in this state is described in the seventh report of the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station and of State Forester Walter o. FI1ley. made public today.
 Some figures stand out in relief in the report of MT. F11ley for 1913. The 695 fires in the state burned over 24,- 900 acres, doing damage estimated at $96,OOO. On three-dfths of the acre age, there were 50 fires which COW cred more than 100 acres each. Rail roads are credited with responsibility for 266 or more than one-third of the entire number.
 ssThe prevention of railroad fires would greatly reduce the fire hazard to growing timber says the forester. ''CareIessness with matches, cigar cites. brush and camp-fires. caused one-sixth of the total number report ed and nearly one-third were of un- known origin: Many of the latter class would probably prove to be due to careIessness if the cause could be determined in every case.
 '"The forest fire warden service ad- Tninistered by the state forester, with enforcement of the laws, has lessened tructiveness of these fires, although the comparison of one year with the next is misleading. By far the larger number of forest fires in this state occur in April and May before the vegetation starts. A rainy spring will thus greatly lessen the number of fires while in a dry season the mum Der will be larger in spite of increased precautions.

Thesiger, British Minister to Aibyssinia, has reported that even in Adis Adeba, the capital of Abyssinia, the facts are still unknown NO one will admit that the Emperor is dead and outside the palace there is complete ignorance on the subject
 The diplomatic corps has been unable to get at the truth; all the ministers can say is that they have not seen NeneIik for years. The general be- lief is that the Emperor's embalmed body lies in the innermost room or the Gebi-

U. s. FASHION IN HOME COMFORT ARE
 ADOPTED BY KING

Copenhagen, June 13-King Christian has decided that the newest of his nu- merous residences shall be furnished in American style in every detail. He will not initiate the home Of the Amer ican multf-niIl niIlionaire. The style he has selected to copy is that of the simple and efficient equipment of the average American home. He has long been an adn4rer of the American arts and conveniences of home-maktng and he has insisted that his newest house, which is situated on the Sl1aw, shall lack none of them.
 The excuse for so many residences as King Christian has in so small a country as Denmark is his fondness Of keeping in. touch with his people. which he main tains, he cannot do better than by living everywhere.
 The king maintains an elaborate en- tourage, but 1t is only for the enter tainment of visiting sovereigns and diplomats. As for himself he lives in the most simple manner. No ruler in Europe is more easily accessible.
 Recently on visit to Nakskov, the king was attracted by a delicious ap- pie pie displayed in a shop window. He went inside to buy piece and while there bought some cake for a small boy in the shop. Later the shop royal customer and she promptly hung out sign announcing that her shop puryeyed to the royal family of Dem mark.
 During the late motor show the king evinced keen interest in the display of American motor cars and when he bought 50 lottery tickets he express ed the hope that he would win an American car.
 The Danish policemen are threaten ing to strike because the new women police are started out att a greater salary than male novices
 SThe women police have been appoint ca to deal with delinquent and defec- tive women and children and the new appointees are to receive $500 more a year than regular men police when they first enter the service.
 If the strike should occur the police chief will probably use the new wotneu police as strike breakers by putting them on the beats of the strikers.

respondents for the Chicago papers
spent week trying to locate him and
get his picture. But they couldn't find
him. You never saw such a reserved
cuss.
Grabbenheim was now a real college
character, and we swelled all out of
shape with pride when the Mu Kow
Moos, who didn't have any member in
the calculus class, began to scout around
FOR chance to rush him. Still we
weren't satisfied. Every night some OF
us met to discuss Grabby and improve
him and hang some new and startling
ornament on his record or disposition.
once we almost made MIN over
altogether into "A German officer in exile
for fighting duel. Pierce fought hard
for 1t. but We voted him down. But we
did consent To run him for office. This
was another pet dream Of Pierce's. He
declined to he happy until Grabbenheim
had been elected to some college office
and had had an affair with girl.

who existed only in the disordered

was too much of job for us. But we

the executive committee OF the spring
athletic dance and put Grabbenheim up
for It,
Pierce pulled II off In fine shape at the
class meeting. He rose. he explained, to
do a peculiar thing He wanted to
nominate "A man whom most of the class
had never seen-the best mathemati-
clan who had ever come to Siwash-a
man of noble and distinguished bearing

Pierce was great little jam spreader
and the class ate IL all up. 1t elected
Grabbenheim, though Simpkins made a
frantic speech against honoring an I'M
known who didn't have interest enough
to get acquainted around the campus
Simpkins almost burst over the per-
Torrance. but he was kind. Oh. how
kind Smpkins was. He held Grabben-
helms fate in the hollow of his hand.
At any minute he might have exposed
him and annihlated him, but did he do
it? No indeed. Simpkins was real
mamie RETAINED. The water in that
clay quarry was awfully cold that
spring.
Grabby's election produced a tremen-
dous sensation around college. The
whole school resolved itself into a COM
mittee to find him and drag him
triumphantly forth. And we twelve
parents of his resolved ourselves into an
equally determined committee to protect
him from the rude public and keep his
privacy sacred.
For a day we succeeded Then the
chase got too hot. when the calculus
class convened 1t had seven visitors
from other classes and Pierce had to
get up when Grabby was called upon
and explain that he had been sum-
moned from Chicago on an important
mission connected with his country.
That saved us for a few days, but
we realized that we had overdone
things. Like many other fond and am
bilious parents we had pushed our child
ahead too fast. lie was ruined. Either
we must kill him or allow the college
to clasp its yearning arms around the
thin, unsatisfactory air of which he
was composed. Anyway We were ex-
hausted. 1t kept us busy day and night
running him.
OF course II was good for our cal
culus. but our baseball and track work
and fussing campaigns were getting
all shot to pieces We finally decided
to let Grabby accept the office and run
things along until the athletic dance.
In the meanwhile something might hap
pen. Perhaps there would he a train
wreck and Grabby might break leg.
Anyway we hoped for the best.
In the meantime the one question ON
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1914-06-14

We fed the college reporters for the
weekly with personals about Grabben-
helm until the sheet was saturated with
him. He had gone home to Chicago to
see his sick mother. He was absent in
Omaha considering fine position which
had just been offered him. He was at
tending a conference at Kiowa.
People began to ask who this Grab
benheim chap was. But nobody seemed
to know. Most Of us thought he was n
Junior. but We hadn't met him. He was
very exclusive. We had heard-he had a
title over in Russia and had come away
to avoid the nihilists or something of
the sort Pity he didn't mix more with
the fellows.
About April we didn't have time to
do much OF anything besides arranging
Grabby's career. He got buster and
buster. Bangs cribbed an article on
Russian social conditions from some
where and entered 1t in the sophomore
essay competition. 1t was so good that
the faculty held meetings about It and
tried to find Grabby in order to encour-
age him.
We dug out a musician with a very
foreign accent from one Of the musical
comedy orchestras. got him all cleaned
up and polished and sent him around
the campus inquring for "Meestair
Grabhenheim." We had some cards
printed and Grabbenheim left one at
Browning Hall one evening for the dean
OF women when she was away. The
dear woman was all fused up about II
when she returned. She had heard of
him.
one of our greatest triumphs came
when Rearck persuaded a wrestler who
had blown into town hunting for a
match To impersonate Grabbenheim and
go into the college gymnasium to get
measured for the anthropo- pointhric-
hang 1t all, YOU know the kind of
chart ! mean-that WORD that trots in
the middle and gets you all mixed up.
Anyhow the wrestler went through the
measurements and the strength tests
and broke all the college records-that
is, Grabby did. There was a lot of ex-
citement about it when the director an
nounced it, Grabby promised to come

Night after night We figured our way
through mathematical jungles. yelling
with pain whenever we struck a par
ticularly insane collision Of signs and
symbols. We would toll until the room
went round and round. And then we
would sit back and plan Grabby's career
and puzzle over now WAYS Of making
him famous and quarrel over the precise

possess and what his religion was and
