Ml L SCANDAL SHOCKS GERMANY High Officials in Imperial Ship yards Systematically Rob the Government. KAISER IS DUMBFOUNDED Boast That Graft Does Not Exist In . Katherland Receives Body Blow. Millions Stolen by Gov ernment Employes. BERLIN, June IS. (Special.) How many millions has the German government been swindled out of by the recently rt!siv ered embezzlements in the imperial ship yards at Kiel? No one dar.'s.'even guess. How many of the vessels built and equipped in the yards are to be found to belong to the same class as the battle ships built in Russia with wooden pegs instead of steel rivets? No one knows yet, and no one probably ever will. The discovery that two high officials of the imperial shipyards, and possihly a number of others, have systematically been robbing the government for years has come as a terrible shook to the Gor man people, who are proud of the pro verbial honesty of their government offi cials, and who have always contended that while fraud might be found in Amer ica and Russia, all German (wernment officers would always be found to come up to the Roosevelt standard, and be able to show a record as clean as a hound's tooth. It is impossible to find out at this time how many officials are implicated or sus pected; the government even refuses to let it become known how many people are under arrest besides the leaders, Hein rich and Frankcnthal. Tho latter is a multi-millionaire, and it is some consola tion to think -that he will be able .to make good the losses, though this will not heal the wounded German pride. The Kaiser was informed of the affair" just as he . was about to prepare his speech for the opening of the Maritime Exposition here, and was so upset by the news that he' found it almost impossible to entertain the King and Queen of Sweden, who were his guests at the time. He has given orders that the whole affair Is to be sifted to the bottom, and that all the guilty ones are to be punished, no matter how high their standing. Rumors- to the effect that certain high officials in the Navy Department have received their share of the stolen funds, have so far been found to be unfounded, and are not generally believed. LIVES UNDER UMBRELLA Eccentric Englishman Original Apostlo of Simple Life. LONDON, June IX (Special.) A Lon don newspaper man has just interviewed the original simple-lifer, an old ex-soldier, who for the last 20 years has lived in a wood 30 miles from London, with no other roof over his head than an um brella. He found the old hero, who fought in many battles, seated under a large carriage umbrella, while close by was a baby carriage packed with miscel laneous goods, including several umbrel las, provisions, etc. "I suppose you are an American," he asked, and added that nearly all the peo ple who came to see him were American tourists, who had come to consider him one of the free sights of London. "Twenty years ago I took to the woods," he said, "and I have pever re gretted it. During the great snowstorm some weeks ago I slept soundly, and when I woke up in the morning I was covered with snow many inches deep. But I am never ill. I have not had a day of illness during my life. I have lived a simple, single life and I have no more worry than that tree has. I have no rent and taxes to pay and I have no wife to bother me and I have plenty of friends, mostly Americans, who have been to see me and who afterwards send me tea and tobacco. "A man does not want much to live on, you know. I am quite happy under my old umbrella. I can sew as well as a tailor and I mend all my clothes. I have several changes of clothes in my auto. 1 have my bath in the woods and wash my things there. When darkness comes I put up my big umbrella, take off my boots, put my legs into a sack, cover my self with my clothing, tie my perambula tor to my arm or leg and settle down for the night. I would not change places with King Edward or your Mr. Rockefeller." TAKES TERRIBLE REVENGE Trapeze Performer Allows Unfaith ful Wife to Fall to Death. VENICE, June 13. (Special.) A double tragedy recently took place in a traveling circus giving performances at the town of Mestre. a short distance from here. Among the performers were two acrobats, a man Rafaelli and his wife. Emma. A rich man about town had fallen in love with the latter and had begun a liaison with her.. Accidentally Rafaelli discov ered his wife's unfaithfulness and planned a terrible revenge. While his wife was performing her dan gerous acts in the flying trapeze under the roof of the circus tent, Rafaelli sud denly cut the rope which held the trapeze and the young woman fell down into the sand of the arena, dying. Her lover rushed to her side, and while he was holding her head on his lap kneeling at her side, Rafaelli cleft his head from be hind with an ax and then calmly surren dered to the police. , Astor Bravely Climbing. LONDON, June 13. (Special.) Even his enemies must admit that W. W. Astor is a most energetic person and that if he does not reach the goal of his ambition of obtaining a baronetcy, it will ha through no lack of effort on his part. His gift of the American war relics to the I'nited Service Museum not having the desired effect, but rather disgusted the King, who is said to have called the act an unpatriotic snobbishness, Mr. Astor has now donated a new wing to the Lon don Hospital for Sick Children, which will enable the institution to extend its work and do away with the overcrowding which has long been a great drawback.
