Queen MARY Sells
Pies TO SUBJECTS
Aids Communal Kitchen by Acting
as Waitress in Crowd.
(By the international News Service.

tBy the International News Service.)
London. August 3.-Queen Mary has
added to her other activities that of
serving sausages and onions to East
End crowds. At least, she did as
much recently at the opening of the
newest communal kitchen.
The helpings served by the Queen
were large and the price was only
three pence (six cents) a portion. She
was accompanied by Princess Mary.
and great cheers greeted her when
she stepped down to start her du-
ties in the witchen.
After few speeches, Queen Mary
took her place behind the counter
and quickly sold all the pies. "All
the pies are gone" the Queen told
a poor woman carrying a baby, but
won't you have a bit of ham for
four pence? 1t looks very good" Then
came a small boy who wanted four
portions of suet pudding with jam
sauce at two pence each. He had
forgotten TO bring a plate.
That's all right" said the Queen
Take It away in paper. What do
you want?" she arked the next, a lit
tie girl whose head barely reached
the counter.
1.-TWO penn'orth of cold am, miss,
please" was the reply. The Queen
and Princess Mary laughed and con-
tinued to do so when the tiny Gus
toner handed the Queen an envel-
ope in which to put the ham, for
her majesty only with difficulty man
aged TO squeeze four slices in. The
Queen stayed an hour at her task,
apparently enjoying the novel expert
ence.

BY FRANK b. BRANDEGEE,
Senator From Connecticut.

The Constitution of the United States
of America is the instrument which
gave birth to the nation.
Its purpose Is to define our form of
government.
1t is the fundamental charter and
treats in broad outline OF the structure
OF our republican form Of government
1t was intended to be, and I'm my
opinion ought to continue to be, the
authority which limits the various
powers OF the government and pre-
scribes its fundamental characters
tics.
While the Constitution provides for
its own amendment upon the recon-
mendation OF two-thirds of each House
of Congress, when ratified by legisla-
lures or conventions OF three fourths
Of the States. and while 1t can be thus
amended in any respect in which these
assemblies see fit to amend II. have
always felt that it was improper and
unwise to make of this broad fun
damental basis of the structure Of the
government of the nation compen-
dium Of ordinances to statutes.
It must be remembered that three
fourths Of the States can easily be
selected which contain a minority of
the total population of the country.
and for this minority of the popula-
tlon TO utilize their powers as States
for the purpose of imposing their will
upon a majority of the people con-
tanned in the other one-fourth OF the.
States, in matters not connected with
the fundamental of our national gov
ernment, seems to me to be not only
exceedingly unwise but exceedingly
dangerous.
If the people who adopted the Con-
stitution of the United States could
have foreseen the use to which the
power to amend it would be prosti-
tuted. 1 do not believe that the Con-
stitution could ever have been adopt
ed. 1 prophesy that the time will
come, and that, too, in the near fu-
ture, when the perversion of the pow
ers to amend the Constitution Will
have to stop. Its continued misuse IS
sure to result in the most dire conse-
quences to the country.

CROP REPORT Shows
Bright PROSPECTS
Wheat. Corn and Vegetables Give
Promise of Large Yield.

Not only are abundant crops promis-
ed in a report just issued by the COM
mittee on statistics and standards of
the Chamber of Commerce of the
United States. but 1t goes on to say
a most encouraging and significant
feature of the situation is the general
confidence of the business world in
the future
The total yields Of both spring and
winter wheat will In all probability be
greater than the results OF 1916. the
report continues.
The outlook for a record-breaking
corn crop Is unusually good.
The production of potatoes, both
Irish and sweet. will probably exceed
that of any previous year. according
a good crop. The hay production
large crop of beans and peas. The
innumerable gardens and cultivated
back lots have produced an output of
vegetables of unexampled volume.
The total amount OF fruit will be
very great. Cotton is very backward.
The cattle industry is good Hogs as
a rule are doing very well. The dairy
industry appears to be growing. The
condition OF the sheep industry Is re-
ported excellent.
The lumber interest as a whole Is
very busy. Building as a whole is de-
clining, particularly in the large
cities. Mining in all forms is unusual
ly good.
Manufacturing OF all kinds Is ex-
ceedingly busy, being overwhelmed
with orders but suffers, however, from
difficulty in procuring raw material
and the very great and constant
changing personnel of labor in its en-
ploy," the report concludes.

Topeka Two years age the legislature
appropriated 5000 to- the attorney
general with which to make an inves-
tigation of the alleged bridge trust.
The Malone resolution called for a re-
port on this investigation within five
days.
The Brewster report tells nothing
that is not already in the records. He
tells the senators that it would be I'M
wise for him to furnish them with
confidential information until suits he
has in court are determined. The suits
he mentions are against the Topeka
Bridge & Iron company, the Missouri
Valley Bridge & Iron company, the
Canton Bridge company, the Kansas
City Bridge company and the Illinois
Bridge company
Besides these facts, coupled with the
original papers, or copies, in the case,
together with the expenditures to date,
the report tells nothing the senators
could not have learned by visiting the
clerk of the supreme court and the
state auditor.
The report shows that A. NJ. keene,
speaker of the house, as special coun-
sci in the investigation, received to-
tai of S1,3S9.99 of the $1,000 appro-
priated by the last legislature The
report contains twenty-five typewrit-
ten pages and will make at least a
50-page booklet. Senator Malone NOV
ed that 500 copies be printed for dis
tribution and the motion carried.

CRANK ON THE JOB
cousin of Prince Frederick" Has
Note for Won BernStorff.

Hoboken, n. J., Feb. IA man
who claimed to be "a relative of
Prince William of Germany" attempt
ed to rush his way thru Count Won
Bernstorffs guard as the German en-
bassy staff was boarding the Frederik
VIII today. He waved letter, which
he said he had ebeen commissioned to
deliver to Bernstorff, and had pene-
trated beyond the guards before he
was stopped and taken to the police
station.
The man, who said his name was
Alfred Hopkins. talked incoherently.
Hopkins said he lived at ia East 123d
street with his mother and half broth
er, and is 10 years old. He was held
for examination but was not formally
put under arrest.
When the newspaper photogra PHI
ers tried to snap Hopkins as he was
being hustled away, he stopped and
posed for them.
The letter was delivered to Count
Won Bernstorff. 1t follows:
'I await here your words to con-
sent to an interview. L am cou-

TEBEAU NOT WORRIED
Kansas City Magnate Says War Won't
Affect American Association.

Kansas City Mo, Feb. 14.-The in
ternational situation between Ger
many and the United States will not
stop baseball in this country, George
Tebeau, owner of the Kansas City
team of the American association, be-
heves. He made that clear immedi-
ately following the severance of dip
lomatic relations.
Our league will play just the
same" the Kansas City magnate said.
There may be some cuts in salaries,
but sport should be as good as usual
in this country this summer
However, many of the nations play
ers probably would respond to war
call, if such should come, it was said.
Many players, perhaps, could qualify
as experts for certain work, some of
them having been proficient members
of militia organizations while others
have technical knowledge that would
fit them for participation in particu-
lar branches.
Tebeau sent contracts to his players
at about the same time President Will
son addressed congress with the an
nouncement that Count Won Berns-
torff had been handed his passports
No changes were made in the con-
tracts for that reason and none will
be, Tebeau said, unless the players
complain.

BREAK WITH FRAT"
n. l.. Magnates Will No Longer Recog-
nize Ball Players Organization.

New York, Feb. 1.-THE National
league and the Baseball Players fra
ternity came to the parting or the
wavs here while Manager John j. Nc
Graw, of the New York National
league club, and President David L.
Fultz of the players association, were
in secret conference, endeavorlng to
the so-called strike of the players
could be compromised. The senior
organization passed unanimously
resolution abrogating the agreement
made with the fraternity at Cincinnati,
January 6, 1914, and when McGraW
returned to the meeting it first ap-
peared as if his self-imposed mission
had been in vain.
Later when President Tener, of the
National league, read the resolution to
the newspaper representatives he ex-
planned that no discrimination was to
be made against any player who
might have been or continued to be a
member of the fraternity, but that
the league would no longer recognize
the organization and that all dealings
in the future would be with the play
ers as individuals. AS this was the
principal request made by F'ultz in his
conference with Manager McGraw as
a guarantee before taking steps look
ing toward the lifting of the strike or
der insofar as it affected the major
leagues, it appeared that his request
had received consideration.
That the magnates realized the seri-
BUSINESS of the situation that faces
baseball both from internal and inter
national complications. was shown by
the fact that baseball writer's were
called into the meeting of the league
for one of the very few times in the
forty odds years of its existence.

BRING CUBS HERE.
U. p. Wants Chicago Nationals
to Play in Topeka.
They VIII Pass Thru on Return
From Coast in March.

If arrangements can be made for
procuring the use of Savage park, To-
peka baseball fans will be given
chance to see the Chicago Cubs
Irimed for their National league race
some time in March when they return
from their training camp on the coast.
Arrangements have been made for
the Cubs both first and second teams
to return via the Union Pacific, and
they will pass thru Topeka. The man
agement of the team and railroad
officials are anxious to have them
play an exhibition game here, and if
the park can be procured it is thought
some local men can get up a team to
meet them.
Any one who is interested in pro-
noting such an exhibition should
communicate with City Passenger
Agent Frain of the Union Pacific. who
has been devoting a great deal of time
to the matter and who believes it will
be worth while to have the famous
Chicago Nationals show their wares in
Topeka.
If it should not be possible to get
