Republican leader Explains the
KuoaeveU Incident.
XKW YORK. Aug. 24. William
Barnes. Jr.. Kepubllcan leader of Al
bany and one of the "old guard who
selected Vice-President Sherman for
temporary chairman of the state con
vention over the head of Theodore
Hooaevelt, came to New Tork today
and gave out a atatemeat In part as
followa:
When Mr. Griscom Interjected Mr.
Roosevelt's name as a candidate for
the temporary chairmanship without
letting the members of the state com
mittee know where Mr. Koosevelt
stood on the Issues now before the
people In this state, and after the
Vice-President had been placed la
nomination before that committee,
thereby forcing the Issue which It
1 "was not the Intention of tlie commit
tee to create, he simply threw a fire
brand Into the Republican situation
entirely unwarranted, and for what
purpose It Is not for me to explain.
"It Is therefore highly essential on
the part of Mr. Roosevelt. If he hopes
to control the policies of the Republi
can psrty In this state, that he should
go to the stste convention as a dele
gate and there thresh out what he
thinks ' ought to be the policy of the
party, with those who have different
opinions from him. It Is aasumed, of
course, that he will abide by the de
cision of that convention as will
those who wiM opposa him there, if
successful.
"I was not Informed what attack
upon the representative form of gov
ernment he will make, except that he
has already committed himself to the
destruction of the convention system
of making nominations. Upon that
question he will be opposed with all
the Intelligence and power of those
who recognize In this popultstlc de
parture the beginning of the fall of
representative government.
"What the businesa man and the
worker for wages wants Is peace; an
opportunity to pursue his calling, and
secure happiness without the constant
Interference of politicians endeavoring
to arouse him to a sense of fancied
misfortune."

"Bernica had gone to the grocery

'when one of the soldiers asked her

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.

H. COHEN WED 0' "Q. T."
I.yrlc Stage Sees Start of Love Voy
age. 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. When
