Fifth Reason: To prevent 'the domination Of
this western unit (2h Federal Reserve Disrict) BY
single transportation agency"
Domination Of this western unit by single transpor
taton agency is impossible because Of competing lines
now existing and which will continue to exist and
no matter what disposition is made of the Central
Pacific

The relations of Cesar to his

Brandes candidly admits that 1t
is extremely difficult to know the
real truth with regard to Casar's re-
lationship to the women mentioned
by the writer's of antiquity. It is q
domain where the loosest gossip as
sumes gigantic proportions when it
concerns an individual whose name
constantly occurs and recurs in the
present and the past.

two facts" asserts Brandes- ''The

reckoning. The contemporary who
is the richest source for information
is Cicero. who. in spite of all his

Cesar.
The second important fact is that

reached US from the past necessarily
has had to pass through the period

Summoned by Caesar.
The Arrival of Caesar.

"On the advice Of Pothinos the
young king went to see Caesar. but
left his forces at Potassium. under
the command Of Achillas." Brandes
continues. But Pothinos only sent
word to Cleopatra that Cesar COM
manded her to send home her troops.
Cunningly he withheld the further
command that she should come to
Cesar in person. Cleopatra stayed
where she was: she only obeyed the
order she received. Sur
prised that she remained away.
Cesar sent her a direct message.
Cleopatra then learned that once
before he had demanded her pres
ence and that Pothinos had taken
care that she should not know of il.
Cleopatra realized fully that since
the attempt to prevent her meeting
with Caesar had proved unsuccessful
her enemies would not hesitate to
use violence to gain their end. She
likewise felt that her life was at
stake should she show herself openly
in Alexandria, where spies were all
around. and whose task it would be
to make known her coming. Should
she go to the city overland the out
posts of the Egyptian army would
take her prisoner. She therefore
went aboard a small boat near Pc
lusium. disguised and accompanied
by a single friend. the Sicilian Ap-
polodoros.

Late that evening she reached

that almost nothing is known about
one of these. Eunoe Of Mauritania
But about the other one" COM
ments Brandes. I'VE know q great
deal. especially since among the
many women of C@sar's acquaint-
ance she alone captivated him to
such degree that she influenced his
political program: that for her sake
he committed the only consequential
political stragetic folly in his whole
life; his long stay in Egypt which
came to cost him so dearly. On her
account he challenged at last. un-
wisely. the public opinion of Rome:
something that contributed toward
the feeding of the last conspiracy
against him

"In this parent Cleopatra saw no
worthy prototype. and the events
experienced by her In her childhood
could only teach her to be on her
guard and make the best possible
use of her abilities. The events of
that time did not inspire her with
confidence In human kind or give her
any illusions as to what life In gen.
eral could promise her. She was the
issue Of a marriage between brother
and sister. such as was customary
in the case Of the Egyptian Macedo-
nian royal house. Her mother was
also called Cleopatra Following the
execution of the sister. Berenike, the
succession was so arranged in her
fathers win that Cleopatra as the
oldest of the surviving children
should marry the oldest Of her two
brothers, both of whom were named
Ptolemy, and that after her fathers
death she should ascend the throne
together with her brother and hus-
band.

Cleopatra was IL years old when
her father fed to Rome. IA when he

Achillas. The encounter between the
two armies was prevented because
great events in the Roman Empire
gave all something else to think
about"
The Arrival of Caesar.
1t Is necessary to touch only
briefly on Casar's arrival before
Alexandria In its bearing on the
meeting with Cleopatra which SUBJ
sequently proved so fatal to his for
tunes. After his defeat at Farsa-
los, Pompeius fled to Egypt where.
as the former protector and friend
of Ptolemy Auletes, he expected to
get a good reception: perhaps even
hoped to obtain military aid to con-
tinue his warfare against Cesar.
Egypt, out of consideration for her
own security. had heretofore re-
mained neutral during the civil war.
After due consideration the Egyp-
tian Government concluded it would
be best to have Pompeius killed on
his arrival
"A few days after the murder
Caesars fleet cast anchor before
Alexandria" Brandes writes. while
yet on board he received the head
of Pompeius and his signet ring. He
had the head buried. and erected
over it a small temple consecrated to
Nemesis. The signet ring he sent
to Rome in witness of his opponents
death and his own supremacy.
But Cesar did not leave Alexan-
dria when he learned Of Pompeius's
death. He had not come to Egypt
merely for the purpose of pursuing
beaten enemy"
Brandes then enumerates a num-
Der of reasons for CRsar's stay.
among them his need for money.
his desire to maintain his political
prestige; this and much more he
makes mention of in his book about
the civil war. But there is one
reason that he does not speak of. his
wish to make the acquaintance Of
Cleopatra. of whose cleverness and
beauty rumor had told him a great
deal. And there is ground for the
belief that some time before she had
sent a messenger to him to enlist
his aid.

Quarrels of Children
Lead to Fatal Shooting
Mother Killed, Father Wound
ed; Neighbor Who Entered
Home Sought by Police

Quarreling between children Of two
families living in the same apartment
house at 32 Water Street, Woodhaven,
Queens, resulted last night in the death
of Mrs. Sarah Gerado, who was shot
through the heart, and the wounding
of her husband, Anthony. The police
are seeking Garment De Gre, who Ge-
rado alleges did the shooting.
According to Gerado, De Gre en-
tered his home last night to chastise
Gerado's children, who have been on
bad terms with De Gre's children for
several days. Gerado said he tried to
put the other man out into the hall
way, and De Gre, it is charged, drew
gun and shot him in the right arm,
shattering the bone
Mrs. Gerado, hearing the shot, ran
out of the apartme ent, and, Gerado de-
clares, De Gre deliberately fired two
shots at her, the first bullet striking
her in the left arm and the second
penetrating the heart. She died al.
most instantly.
Patrolman William j. McGee, of the
Richmond Hill station, who was walk
ing his beat nearby, was called by
who heard the shooting.
When he reached the house De Gre had
disappeared. Mrs. De Gre was taken
to the police station and questioned.
Mrs.s Gerado was forty-flye years old.
Gerado, who was removed to st. Mary's
Hospital, is forty-seven.
