Queen of Greece" an appelation fully
warranted by the facts, for It is doubt
full if even the Empress Eugene ever
exercised so much direct control over
the destinies of France as this woman
did over the fate of modern Greece.
She was daughter of Spyridon Tri-
coupis, the first premier of free Greece,
and the sister of Harilaos Tricoupis,
who during the last quarter Of the
nineteenth century completely domi-
mated Greek politics. AS child she
made the acquaintance of Lord Byron,
who was familiar friend in her
fathers house and 1t was her father
who pronounced the funeral address
over the coffin of the English poet. Her
youth was passed in London, where her
father was Greek minister, but on the
entry Of her brother into the political
arena, she returned to Athens and took
up her place at hi sside. Nor did she
ever leave him. Remaining unmarried,
she devoted her entire time to aiding
him in his political work and in looking
after his personal comfort.
A woman Of striking appearance, she
was the more conspicuous by the fact
that she never changed the style Of her
clothing from the date Of the death Of
her father in 1878. She retained even
the early Victorian fashion Of doing
her hair and in her later years re-
sembling nothing SO much as a daguer-
reotype come to life. The house which
she and her brother occupied was a
very small one but in spite of that,
some of the most distinguished political
figures of the nineteenth century
passed thru its drawing room. The
present emperor of Russia, Edward VII.
and Queen Alexandra of England.
King Christian TX. of Denmark were
only g. few of those who We're the
guests of this remarkable woman.
But her relations with the distin-
guished visitors to Greece were wholly
political. She had no social ambitions
and the ordinary balls and social gath :
erings of Athens never saw her. She
was not only the inspiration but tht
active co-worker of her brother. and
knew quite as much about politics as
did he and it was frequently to
Madam Sophie" as she was called
that those who had som political
proposal to make addressed themselves
rather than to the minister himself.
With the death of her brother, how
ever, she ceased all political activity
and retired to a secluded life which she
permitted nothing to disturb. She was
so years old when she died.
Appendicitis was the cause of her
death, on July 26. Her body was in
TERED in the vault beside that of her
distinguished brother. she being clad
only in a shroud. According to he.
wishes there was not even coffin, and
| no one was present at the funeral
save the members of her Immediate
| family.

IOWA MEN FILE COMPLAINT BE-
CAUSE OF DETENTION OF
FREIGHT CARS. s
EASTERN RAILROADS
HOLDING WESTERN CARS
Interstate Commerce Commission Told
THAI Situation Is Becoming Unbear-
abIe-cars Carrying Grain Eastward
Not Being Returned After Reaching
Destination Elevators Overlooking.

Fort Dodge. Aug. 2s.-"We earnestly
protest against the present practice by
the eastern roads in retaining empty
freight cars. Grain shipments in cars
arriving from the west are unloaded
and the empt!es retained by the east
ern railroads. More empties should be
sent west than are received from the
west during grain movement periods,
but much larger percentage is being
retained in the east This is creating
hardship on western shippers ana
the conditions are becoming unbear-
able. The eastern consumers need the
grain and the other provisions ard
ultimately suffer as much as the west.
In the interest of the whole country
we trust that prompt action may be
taken to remedy this evil
The above is a telegram that vas
sent today by the Fort Dodge Com
mercial Club to the interstate com
merce commission in Washington. as
a protest against the practice of east
ern roads keeping freight cars there
that should be in the west, AS re-
SUR OF thlS pTdCtlCe man uldClu vi ei -
grain shippers and farmers are suf-
fering as their products can not be
moved.
Grain Ready to Move.
Grain Is being shipped east at this
time Of year and the freight cars that
carry the grain east are not being re-
turned for further shipments The fact
that grain is standing in the elevators
at small towns and can not be shipped
because Of the great shortage of
freight cars makes 1t a question of ma
tional Importance because of the ne
cessity of grain in the east. The
shortage Of cars TO move the grain
may be felt for the present only in the
west but is bound TO be felt later in
the east when the present supply OF
grain on hand is exhausted.
The rule is that eastern railroads
return more than 20 per cent of the
cars than are sent and this is not be
ing enforced at present, according rc
; western railroad men, who assert thai
they are Handicapped and have beer
