Berlin, Jan. 23. Bulking like a child
who has received a scolding, the kaiser
lias decided to avoid the publicity of
Berlin and will continue to lead a sim
role and secluded life in auiet Potsdam.
The Oerftian foreign department has
made the announcement that the Deo
pie of Berlin are not, to expect to see
the Kaiser during tne next two montns,
except on such occasions when import
ant publlo functions-make his presence
in me cny necessary. '
The peoDle have made liim under
stand thai they -wish their monarch to.
show '"more reserve," and, as a man
who never does things by halves, Wil
llem has decided he shall give them
no reason for complaint. But com
plain thev do anyway, at least aristo
cratic society and Berlin tradespeople
do, because Berlin without Hie kaiser
ana court festivals means a dun sea
son and a falUna of in trade.
It is understood that one of the
kaisers reasons for tireferrinor an idvl
lie life at Potsdam Is his need of rest
after the strain after the recent politi
cal crista, which was a severe shock
to his nerves.-
It is furthermore stated that about
t he first of March the whole imperial
family will go to Villa Aehlllelon on
Corfu, and from there William will
probably go on a long cruise along the
const of Norway, and then may be
the German peope will be good and for
get how rudely they have behaved, to
their monarch by the grace of God.
These plans are laid on the supposi
tion that events on the Balkans will
not end in war, but the general feeling
here is that this will not be the case.
Because the Hungarian minister of
the interior has arbitrarily dissolved
two workmen's federations that coun
try Is now in the throes of a general
strike, ordered by the Socialists.
As soon as the order was issued 90.
000 workers at Budapest stopped work
and every factory in the city was shut
down. In many of the priclpal towns
' not a newspaper is printed) and alto
gether some 400,000 men are Idle.
Certain unions have not issued strike
orders to their members, but this is
not because - they do not sympathize
Twith the Socialist leader, but because
f.part of their earnings are spent in aa-
slsting the strikers. A general boycott

'-In order to teeroe the strikers, nd then
'every worker In the countryoutside of
the agricultural districts will be Idle.
The case of Captain Berger, one of
the most brilliant officers-In the Ger-
' man navy, is engaging public atten
tion very" keenly. On April 7, 190H,
Captain Berger was placed on the un
attached list, and the reasons given for
such disciplinary treatment were by
no means clear or satisfactory, and the
naval office declares that the action
; taken against him was due to an erron
eous report furnished by Admiral
Schmidt. After several fruitless appli
cations to the proper quarters, Captain
Berger wrote direct to the German
emperor, and gravely aucused his super
ior officers of faults committed to the
prejudice of the state on seven differ
ent occasions. Captain Berger has Just
published in the review "Blaubueh" a
letter which has produced quite a sen
sation, for he appeals to public opinion
if Justice is not granted to him.
The minister of marine has decided
to enter an action against the naval
captain and the editor of "Blaubach."
A striking feature of the German
press today is the numerous criticisms
written by experts, many of whom are
officers still on service, and discussing
the German emperor, the army, the
headquarters' staff and the emperor's
military cabinet in outspoken and often
hostile language. Of course these arti
cles are unsigned, and they appear in
all kinds of newspapers, many of which
would ha -e been thought Incapable of
expressing, these views only a few
weeks ago. -

(Hearst Cable.
Berlin. Jan. 23. A remarkable "anti-
race suicide" movement has been mak
ing rapid progress In West Germany.
A society of wealthy ladles has been
formed there for the purpose of endow
ing all women who bring children Into
the world,. Irrespective of whether they
are legally married or not.
The society adopts the principle of
G. Bernard Shaw that all mothers should
be rewarded bj the state, and claims
that when the state neglects Its duties
private benevolence Bhould supply its
place. The 'founders of the society, in
an announcement of its alms, state that
all children are a national asset.
The women point out that Germany's
heavy Illegitimacy rate at present re
sults in thousands of Infants dying of
neglect and of thousands more- growing
up as criminals, loafers or as physically
unfit. They propose to remedy this evil
by. welcoming all children and provid
ing their . mothers, where necessary.
With means of sustenance,
1- A further demand is made by these
women that all-factories where young
mothers are employed shall equip rooms
in the immediate vicinity or tne work
shops where children can play, and that
their mothers shall be compelled to
cease work for- a short period several
times during the dav in order to at
tend to their offspring. The more rad
ical members of the society recommend
ft certain amount to be paid to all
mothers of the poorer class a few days
before the expected birth.

UIICTII MAY
BE APPLIED
(Hearst Cable.)
London, Jan. 23. The legal right of
one man to fly over another man's
property is prophesied as a future en
actment of international law by Roger
Wallace, K. C, a London barrister, who
is a prominent member of the Aero club
and British delegate to the International
Aeronautic conference.
"At present," said Mr. Wallace, "by
the common law no one has a right to
fly across occupied land. The world is
still governed by the ancient Roman
law, usque ad coelum (up to the skies).
That was framed, of course, in days
when no one could anticipate the pres
ent conquest of the air. and it must be
amended. It means that every land
owner has a right to the air above his
land as far up as he chooses to go, and
can get an injunction to restrain any
one flying across it. '
"So far, no one has attempted to put
the law In force. When a man is flying
across your land it Is too late to get an
Injunction. After he has flown is It no
use unless he haa done damage which
can be assessed.. But it may happen
that a land owner adjoining the prac
tice ground or starting point of aero
nights wiu oDject to, tne use or tne air
above his land. He could then get an
lnlunctlon under the present law.
"Tn the axranrement which the Aero
club is making fo securing a practice-
ground at L)artrorr it is providing tor
thla contingency by legally obtaining
the right to fly across all adjoining
lands. One section of the new law of
flying must deal with the question of
articles dropped irom aeroplanes ana
balloons.
Poor American Man.
(Hearst Cable.)
. London. Jan. 25. "The American man
problem pussies all." says Truths "The
American man is apparently objection
able to the American woman, for when
the latter Is sufficiently rich she gener
ally marries a European. Though the
pick of European men arp prepared to
marry-rlch American women, the Euro
pean . woman can seldom be induced to
marry an American.
"The deficiencies of the American
man must be serious, for they appear to
render him objectionable alike! to the
women of hia own country and of other
countries."

, London. an. 23. Nothing tn the his
tory of Europe has been taore start
lingly romantlo than the new era which
has Just opened In Turkey, and the ac
counts of i the assembly -"of the parlia
ment at Constantinople read more like
a fantasy from "The Thousand and One
LNights"- than a serloua piece oi news
paper intelligence i
The two people whxi have probably
brought about the result which we be
held yeaterday were the popu of the
Slahommedan church, who upheld the
revolting officers at Salonika, and de
clared that the demand for the. consti
tution was agreeable to the holy law
of Islam and to 8iv Edward Grey. ' who
by his prompt an,d splendidly adroit
management of the situation, contrib
uted larkely to the liberation of
Turkey. j
The Hultan, who has so long astood
as the dark shadow of ill luck over the
liberty of his land. Is old and terrified,
frightened of the living, dreading the
appearance of the dead, his court scat
tered, his minions dead or banished,
and all the machinery of autocracy
lying broken at his feet. This is the
man who had to stand before the par
liament yesterday and admit that 32
years ago the constitution had been
granted, but that events occurred which
led to his accepting the advice that he
should suspend its operation.
Constantinople has been elaborately
decorated, and a hymn of liberty Is
heard rising through the streets. Even
the Turkish ladies of the higher classes
have taken the keenest Interest, a fact
which is a revelation of the widespread
revolution that has taken place. The
Ideas of progress and liberty have pene
trated the harems, and have taken hold
of the women who were among the
severest sufferers from the old regime.
But probaWy the most curious effecj
pf the change of political circumstance
Is to be found In the difference that the
ballot box has made among the popula
tion of Constantinople.
Mr. - Charles Hands, who probably
knows aa 'much as anyone of Oriental
life, has described graphically how, a
while ago, bo one dare Jo declare his
own opinion ror rear or being suspected
aa a dangerous conspirator.
Every sort of wild rumor was being
circulated in me city, mat tne sultan
had 40,000 modern guns at Ylldlz the
palace troops, fanatics to a man, were
only waiting for the signal, that the
Sultan would be deposed. At every turn
terror was to be sen written on the
faces of tne Armenians and Greeks, who
hastily barricaded their shops and seized
their revolvers. -
Nobody knew where they were. There
was a feeling constantly that something
was going to happen, but no one knew
what Then the day came when the
elections began, and the entire situation,
he says, beoama clear and as simple as
possible.
The- mystery was explained, and un
certainty vanished, everyone realized
that nothing awfui was going to hap
pen, except that a system of constitu
tional government was being inaug
urated. Each man felt that he had a
stake in what was to take place. The
exercise of the vote had made all the
difference, and this is the more incon
ceivable because the population were not
voting for anyone in particular, or for
anything In particular; they were simply
voting for a committee of electors who
were to meet together and select a
parliament.
But the cry that went out was for the
choice of honest men. It was not so
much the Opinions of the men they were
to select that mattered, but that they
should be free from corruption. And
then came the end. The Turks escorted
their ballot boxes through the streets
with triumphant reverence, for they
knew the value of what they had got,
and in the most Joyous procession, prob
ably, that ever crossed the streets of
Constantinople - Mohammedan lelemas
and Armenian priests, In carriages
which conveyed the garlanded ballot
boxes, were seated side by side. Here
was the beginning of liberty, and here
iti first effects.
There la no more- remarkable figure
than the quiet, determined, concen
trated conqueror of the air, Mr. Wilbur
Wright, in his little encampment at
Le Mans. To' mymlnd there Is some
thing singularly appealing tn the sim
ple, primitive existence of that mar
velous mechanician.
It is easy to recall the scepticism
toward aeroplaning which existed the
world bVer a little more than a few
years ago. and we remember the sur
prise with -which the-flight of Santos
Dumont was hailed, . which extended
but 230 yards. Now.: "Wilbur Wright
has flown '56' miles In -91 minutes.
A few days ago-1. was shown, a photo
graph of him. seated in Mtr aeronuat's
car. He looked a typical steersman, gat
ing out into space with-that strange,
concentrated expression which means
that ail his mind haa gathered itself into
one overmastering idea, -a force which
must conquer that,, which haa hitherto
remained unconquered. -.
It would be interesting to know along
what lines such-minds have, developed.
and how much complete concentration
has come about. .., - -t -,

FRENCHMAN WHO WAS TIRED OF HIS
WIFE SOLD HER FOR PALTRY SUM
(Hearst Cable.) r
Paris, Jan. 23. A queer story of a
m:in selling hlB wife with his goods
and cattle comes from Roanna, Jean
Marie Boisset, a wine grower of Fores,
married Reine Moully 17 years ago.
For seven years the couple lived hap
pily together. Then one day a man of
means appeared on the scene. His
presence Interferred with the husband's
happiness. Both men realized that
something would have to be done. They
did not quarrel. The husband found
himself In need of money. As his house
and land were mortgaged. he ap
proached the man of means and sug
gested a loan of J500. The two men
discussed the matter and drew up a bi
zarre contract. According to the ar
rangement entered into the rentier had
to take over the wine grower's goods
and chattels and his wife. That hap
pened, a year ago. By and by the wine
grower regretted his bargain. He com
plained that he was- not in a proper
state of mind when fee signed the con
tract that the rentier had taken ad
vantage of his simplicity. As the rent
ier, and even his wife,-held to the bar
gain, Jean Marie Rolsset became
troublesome. He smashed windows and
did other damage. Ultimately the mat
ter came before a magistrate, who was
astounded when he read the contract,
duly, signed. The dossier and the con
tract are now-In the hands of the Ju
dicial authorities, but nothing can be
done, as the case does not come within
the law, which was made for civilized
people, its frame not taking into ac
count the fact that men from J3ibical
times would arise in the village of
Forez. The latest news is that the
parties to the contract and the wife
are now reconciled.
An interesting case affecting doctor
and patient came before the seventh
chamber of the tribunal yesterday. A
doctor whovmade a specialty of neuras
thenic rases, came to the conclusion
that thin malady was simply a disease
of the will. His method with his pa
tients is a very simple oiie. All , he
does Is to talk to his patients, to in
spire thejn with the desire t6 get well.
After so treating one of his patients he
sent in his bill for $200. But the pa
tient declined to pay this amount, as
serting that he was none the better by
the doctor's talk. He declared, through
his , counsel that his doctor had paid
him 20 ctsits, and that reckoning 14 for
each visit, he would pay only' 80 and
no more. The neurasthemic specialist
held out for 1:100. The court will give
its decision tn a week.
An exciting ox fight has occurred
In the streetB of Pantln. The beast escaped-
from the goods station, at Pan
tin and rushed through the streets.
The animal first' attacked ' the horse- f
a cabinet maker, and then . upset a man
with a handcart, injuring him seriously.
Four men- were knocked down lh suc
cession and frightfully bruised. In. the
Rue Courtols the ox found' himself con
fronted with a policeman armed. with a
revolver. The beast charged htm, but
the policeman escaped the horns. As
the animal was preparing to charge a
second time the policeman discharged
his revolver three ' times, the bullets
lodging in the ox's head. A-neighbor
came to the policeman's assistance and i
finished the animal with a shot from
a carbine. The carcas was cut-up--.-on.
the spot and taken to the meat- market.
The president of the reDiiblic is con
fronted with a grave problem. Some
thing; like 32 men are in prison, having
been condemned to death and the ques
tion i "What will be their fate?" A
you are aware, the chamber, by a large
majority, has voted in favor of the
maintenance of capital punishment, and
in these circumstances the presidential
pardon may not be given. All the pris
oners are aware of this vote, and they
are- wondering whether the guillotine
will deal with them. As can be -imagined.
the uncertainty In which they are
living is terrible. Since he went to
the lyaee, M. Fallleres has pardoned
every prisoner sentenced to death. Will
he allow the opinion of the chamber to
prevail? There Is silence in the high
est political circles on the subject.
Hitherto condemned prisoners have
known their fate a fortnight after the
passing of the death ' sentence upon
them. But the men under the sentence
of death do. not know when they -wake
up of a morning, whether they will e
another 'day. The four bandits of the
north who were sentenced to death at
Saint Assizes, have up till now been
In prison six months and six days with
out knowing their fate. It Is felt that
the president must come to a. decision
shortly and thus put an end to the con
demned men's anguishing suspense.
