E NODS THREATEN NAVY FRICTION BETWEEN OFFICERS OF GERMAN SHIPS DEEPENS. Admiral's Notice to Engineers, Sur geons and Paymasters to Walk Meekly and Lowly, Amazes. HAMBURG. Aug. 24.-Speclal.)-Tliat snobbery Is a grave peril In the German navy ts proved by an official notice Issued by Admiral von Prlttwlts and Gaffron, commanding the Baltic Station. German naval circle, are in a ferment of heated discussion for and against the Admiral. For a long time, he had observed fric tion between executive officers and the engineers, surgeons and paymasters. Feeling that matters had reached a crisis the Admiral took the drastic atep of out lining the social privileges of both classes of officers. He reminds the engineers and other non-executives that they cannot expect executive officers and their wives to mix with them as social equals, and adviees them literally to take a back seat on social occasions. Proceeding to details, he counsels engineers, surgeons snd pay masters to content themselves with seats other than the orchestra stalls at the theater. At sea. he adds, conditions are necessarily different, and a certain amount of Intercourse on terms of equality cannot be avoided. But non-executives must not presume upon theee conditions, which are extraordinary, and should he careful to walk humbly and lowly when brought Into contact arthore witn their superior, the executive officer. That the mischief Is no laughing matter Is proved by the fact that In the past year the percentage of "resignations amongst naval engineers has been un duly high. They are. in fnct, leaving the Service in doxens. and the same applies to surgeons and paymasters, of whom there will undoubtedly be a grave short age next year. Competent critics ascribe this Intrusion of the clnra spirit to the ever-increasing number of titled entrants to the navy. Up to a few years ago. the German arwtocracy looked with disfavor upon the navy aa a career for their sons, hut of late they have recognised the solid ad vantages attaching to the service, and ap plications have accordingly poured in from the most exalted families. The tierman papers are demanding the Instant (HippresMion of this perilous pnobbery, which. It Is recognised, will play havoc with the discipline and gen eral efficiency of the service if allowed tocolitinue unchecked. Hitherto, tlie Marine Department has maintained silence, but there is reason to believe that some of the more outspoken news papeis have received a quiet hint to moderate their tone, as officlul action la about - to be taken. Nevertheless, tlie astounding notice by Admiral von .Prittwlts and Gaffron has not been withdrawn. Its effect upon the less ornamental but equally useful branches of the "officer corps'" may be better Imagined than described. It may be added that quite recently, the non executive branches agitated for some dis tinguishing sleeve badge, and obtained it. What was tlielr disgust, however, to learn that a week afterwards executive officers had received an additional and very prominent badge which more than ever accentuated their superior rank.

Knot Being Tied by Van couver Justice of Peace. Zuh talked to Ruth while she was iron ing, so what could the poor girl do? Zuh followed this first wooing with a streetcar ride to Vancouver yesterday morning and he and Ruth sat In a swing In the park. Then Zuh proposed outright. He had hinted and stage-whispered his love, but he never before asked Ruth, In plain English to marry him. The dizxiness of the swing and burning love gave Zuh courage and while they were letting "the old cat die." Zuh paid: "Ruth, let's get married." Ruth said "yee." and they hurried to the County Auditor's office, procured a marriage licens? and were married by a Justice of the peace. And the matinee and night perform ance at the Lyric went on Just the same as If there had been no marriage. But in some way or another it leaked out after the performance that pretty Ruth Albright and S. H. Cohen, the property man. had been guilty of toe indiscretion of going to Vancouver to be married. Then followed a marriage celebration on the stage, in which the entire com pany, tlie orchestra and stage hands took part. Being against the rules of the union to play af.ter hours, there would have been no music had not Ed Arm strong, manager of the company, Mrs. Armstrong and Gus Leonard come to the reacue. However, the piano player con sented to play the clarinet In violation of all rules. The orchestra went along very well, with Leonard as violinist and leader, until a collection was taken for the musicians. The hat, full of charity, was presented ta Gus. It consisted of a beer opener, two caps from beer bottles, three toothpicks, a match, a check on a Bumside-strcet bar and 33 cents. It made Gus angry and he quit his poat. Then he was coaxed back and made up with this admonition: "Take it away and buy a wedding cake; theres" only two of "em to eat -it." TURKISH SHARKS FATTEN CONTRACTORS FORCED TO BIT OFF PRICE-CITTERS. Government Demands Absolute Guarantee From Bidders and Fails to Live Up to Own Side. CONSTANTINOPLE. Aug. 2. (Spe cial.) Sharp friction is arising in the Turkish capital between concession hunt ers and the government. The German Ambassador Is making frequent protests, but such is the situation that many con tractors and scheme promoters are giv ing up their quest. When Constantinople, immediately af ter the revolution, became the cockpit of contending foreign commercial Inter ests, it was wisely decided by the Gov ernment to impose such guarantees and conditions as would scare off all but the genuine promoters with a sound back ing. But since then the Turkish advisers have overstepped the mark and put even these reputable men to tremendous loss of time and expense. Particularly is this the case in connection with competitions for contracts, for almost in every case the specifications are altered after ev erything has been prepared snd fresh tenders have to be prepared. So the contractors are putting forward the demand that aa they have to supply guarantees of stability the Government should give guarantees to observe the terms of their specifications. Out of the scramble for concessions and contracts has sprung a new industry the professional price-euttars. They are located chiefly In Salonika. Their policy Is to put In bids for all competitions, without representing anything stronger than paper, thereby compelling the seri ous contractors, whose prices are higher, to buy them off and save delay. A Ger man firm has paid these sharks $1000 to get out of the way on one competi tion. ' Such Is the strength or German diplom acy Just now that only by the firm at titude of the German Ambassador, sup ported by the Deutsche Bank, can pre sent anomalies be remedied and a reaJ era of development open for Turkey.

COTTAGE RENT IS HIGH As Prince of Wales 3eorge V Gave Substantial Sums . for Privileges and Now as Monarch He Aban . dona Paying Guest Rate. LONDON, Aug. 24. (Special.) "vV;iet King George goes to Scotland in a day or two for the shooting and fishing, of which he is so fond, he will for the first time In many years abandon the role of paying guest. It is not general ly known that as Prince of Wales he had not absolutely free use of York cottage and the attendant privileges at Sandringham, or of Abergeldie and the accompanying sport. He paid the substantial consideration of 30,000 a year for his privileges in each case. The late King took the view that it was well for his son who as Duke of Cornwall was a rich man to conduct his affairs on a sound busi ness footing and to pay for his priv ileges, as he could very well afford to do. According to present plans York cot tage is destined to become the residence of the Prince of Wales on reaching his majority. It Is not a large place, and would hardly be suited to his require ments for any length of time, but for a short period at least It would bo ideally suited for such a purpose. Several Changes P'anned. There are to be several changes In the occupation of the various residences which are under his Majesty's control. Should Prince and Princess Alexandra of Teck migrate to Frogmore house, the Henry HI Tower in Windsor Castle will become vacant and will probably be occupied by one of the principal members of their Majesties" entourage. York House may In the same way be .offered to one of Queen Mary's fra ternal relatives. Barton Manor will be retained by the King and Queen as a convenient resort for the younger mem bers of their family, and for this rea son it Is not likely to be available ex cept on brief occasions for other mem bers of the Royal House. The treat ment df the Dee side residences has not yet been settled, but there will be a large number of Royalties at Balmoral and Its vicinity in the early Fall,' the Duke of Connaught being probably at Abergeldie. It is rumored that the first official visit which will be made by the King and Queen at the conclusion of the period of mourning will be to Germany. The Prince of Wales, who is a special favorite with the Kaiser, will accom pany them. N Tour Is Contemplated. Another rumor Is that the King and Queen Mary will shortly undertake an Empire tour, including a visit to South Africa. Canada has put forward strong claims to a visit and it has even been suggested that they should go south ward to Washington. The work of preparing new seals for the King and the Government depart ments Is now well in hand. The first seal was one of the King's signature, for his own use. It is of silver, with ah Ivory handle. Before the alterations have all been made in the initials and arms on buttons, carriage monograms and the rest, the. nation will have spent about $2,000,000 because of the change in monarchs. Already the great hotels are prepar ing for next year's coronation. Tho best suites have even now been taken by wealthy patrons and every house holder and hotel manager with rooms to spare looks to making a huge profit next May. PARROT CAUSES FLURRY Bird Invades Pigeons' Preserves at Board of Trade. CHICAGO. Aug. 24. "There's going to be a corner on crackers." That was the conclusion arrived at today by a veteran Board of Trade broker, who. together with hundreds of other brokers, clerks, messenger boys and the usual large representation of the army of the unemployed, was watching a big green parrot gadding around with the pigeons which make their home around the Board of Trade building. The parrot was first noticed about 10 o'clock, perched on one of the fire es capes of the building. Soon a lot of curious pigeons gathered around the stranger, and equally curious human beings gathered In the court between the Board of Trade and Postal Tele graph buildings and In the neighboring windows. Some of the pigeons seemed bent on driving the Intruder away, and others apparently tried to protect It.
