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.
