SCHUETTLER'S CHAUFFEUR
MIXED IN Massey CASE

The disappearance Of Albert Vasey
and the startling developments in the
case since Judge Petit started a
search for the missing witness in the
robbery trial of Peter Kane have tak4
en- a "dime novel" aspect.
A policeman, John Dean, chaUf-
feur for Asst Chief SchUettler, was
suspended yesterday when, trapped
by a stenographer for States Atty
Hoyne, he admitted that he knew a
great deal about the case yet refused
to talk.
He was sent to States Atty'y
Hoyne's offices to talk to Annie Cur
nv, sweetheart of Peter Kane, and
Mrs. Mary Kane, his mother. A ste
nographer was hidden in a closet to
record the conversation. According
to the police he told the woman to
keep quiet and Kane would win his
case, then came out of the Office and
told Hoyne aids the woman refused
to talk.
Vasey, according to the police, has
been shifting from one shady hotel
to another, in company with wOm-
an friend of Kane. They are pay
ing his expenses and showing him a
good time" to keep him from testify

he marries. II will be seen that this
famous ducal family is seriously
weakened by the loss It has sus-
tanned.
The Duke Of Wellington, the
fourth in succession from the victor
Of Waterloo, has lost his second son,
Lord Richard Wellesley, and may
yet suffer other losses, as his Oldest
son and other members of his family

The employe living In a house I'm

Women compelled to live in such

Bad housing tends to increase
the tax burdens OF a community by
requiring larger expenditures for

~ URlNG one OF MS campaigns
for the Presidency the late
- Benjamin Harrison uttered
an epigram which made him the
target of much criticism. He said,
"A cheap coat makes a cheap
man." and this statement, which
was intended to epitomize his
views on the protective tariff. was
twisted into meaning that people
whose clothes were cheap were
purchasable.
This was not true, says John ].
Murphy. New York City's Tene-
ment House Commissioner, and IL
would be no more true that bad
housing made bad citizens under
all circumstances. But, next to an
inadequate and unwholesome food
supply, poor housing does stand as
the most deleterious element in
our civic life. Sanitary research
shows how important Is the reao-
ton OF adequate light and ventila-

So great has been the death list
among the sole heirs to peerages
that 1t is proposed to make daughters
and other female heirs eligible to
succeed to the titles. This would
save them from extinction in the
majority of cases.
A peerage in modern times has
been granted to a man. by a royal
patent which provides that It shall
descend to his heirs by male descent
only.
If he has only q daughter It can.
not descend to her nor to her son.
There are some ancient peerages
known as "baronies by writ of sum
MONS" which descend through
women. They were created in the
Middle Ages, when the King would
summon a member Of a certain
family by writ, generation after
generation, to sit In the House of
Lords. This process has reen held
to create a form of property similar
to real estate. Lord Camoys, who
married Miss Mildred Sherman, of
New York, possesses one of these
ancient baronies, created in 1888,
but no more Of them have originated
for centuries.
In some modern instances where
a peerage has been given to q
famous general or statesman with
out sons, q special remainder has
been added to the patent, making the
title descend to a daughter or col
lateral relation. This was done in
the case OF Lord Roberts and Lord
Kitchener, neither of whom had sons
when their titles were created. In
the case Of Lord Roberts the spe-

SCHOOL NURSE ENDS WORK
Physical Condition Of Every Pupil in
Grades Tested by Mrs. Schroeder.

Mrs. A. L. Schroeder, visiting
nurse, who has spent the past two
months working in the schools of
Bemidji, departed for her home II
Minneapolis last evening. During
her stay in Bemidji Mrs. Schroeder
has tested the physical condition and
examined the eyes, ears, nose and
throat of every boy and girl in the
grades of the local schools, complete
records having been secured. Her
work has been Of great value and is
much appreciated by those who have
become familiar with it. Mrs.
Schroeder was brought to Bemidji
through the efforts of the Woman's
Study club, coming for a period Of
one month. The Importance of "a
longer stay was realized and the
Study club, assisted by the school
board, provided funds for another
month. 1t is possible that a nurse
may be secured for the Bemidji
schools during the next term. A
complete record of conditions in the
Bemidji schools as found by Mrs.
Schroeder will be published in the
Pioneer soon.

Will NOT CHANGE POLICY
appointment of Sir Henry Jackson as
First Sea Lord Not to Alter
England's Naval Plans.
TAKES LORD FISHERS PLACE
By J. w. T. MASON.

New York, May 29.-The appoint
ment of Admiral Sir Henry Jackson
as first sea lord of the British admir-
atty does not mean that there will
be any essential change in England's
naval policy. Admiral Jackson owes
his post primarily to the fact that
Lord Fisher resigned as first sea
lord and committed the objectionable
sin of leaving the admiralty in a
rage before final action had been
taken on his resignation
Strength of Will.
His passing emphasizes the effect
of strength of will when combined
with error of judgment. Lord
Fisher, who is strictly subordinate to
the civil head of the admiralty, tried
to make himself the Kitchener of the
navy. Unfortunately for himself,
his supreme effort to dominate the
navy came at the moment when Lord
Kitchener's dictatorial authority at
the war Office. was being overthrown
Having at last put Kitchener in his
place, the British government had no
intention of permitting Lord Fisher
to become new irresponsible and
so he was not recalled to his vacated
desk. Winston Churchill acted in
quite the opposite manner to Lord
Fisher when the crisis between the
civil and naval heads of the Admiral
ty arose. Instead of running off in

Speculation Here,


Washington, May 29.-The passing
Of two weeks with no reply by the
German government to the American
note has caused widespread specnla- :
ton here. The insistence OF Lon
don reports that the Nebraskan was
|torpedoed, and published intimationz
that Germany will send q series OF
notes in answer to the American COM
munication, delaying the discussion
of the merits of the question until an
agreement on facts, has caused in
creased tension. 49,.
The German ambassador confirmed
the London reports that he sent q
wireless to the German foreign Office
declaring that the American press
was becoming impatient over the de-
lay of sending the German reply,
and that the Nebraskan incident had
aggravated the situation.

Gals are loath to believe the German
government has underestimate the

pie over the Lusitania disaster.
