tially promised, the - king's uncle, the

regular spring freshet of aristocratic
playwrlghting may be expected. Tha

Argyll Is not, the only king' uncle,
however, who Is likely tp. visit Gotham
this year. I ni lnfomedron -highest J
authority that an exchange of views has
Justj taken place between the Canadian
and Imperial governments regarding a
possible visit of the duke and duchess of
Connaught to the United States, '
Welooma Zs expected.
It ' is believed In ' government circles
that a visiting royal governor general of
Canada would be welcomed by President
Taft, and in addition it is known that a
trip to New York and through the United
States is greatly desired by both the
duke and duchess, who hold a great ad
miration for everything American.
' This visit would be arranged for a
time when the governor- general could
best be spared from Ottawa, and would,
it Is believed, be substituted fot-the
usual annual hunting- trip of his royal
highness.
There is not the slightest foundation
for the report That the king and queen-f
will pay a round, of state visits to the
European courts this year. King Georse
and Queen Mary are as a matter of fact
perfectly aware that their prolonged
absence has been felt In trade circles.
There has been no whiter gayety in Lion
don, and trade tuffet-s In consequence.
The . king and queen Intend, therefore,
... li, onn.Ue London season much earlier
than usual, and It is Just possible the
ffrsf " court""WirrbeT.eTd--JLt-the -end of
February. ,
Home Coming to Be rsted.
Their majesties will be received with
great ceremony when they arrive on the
fourth of February. The entire royal
family will journey to Portsmouth to
meet them, and London streets will be
lined with troops. After a few days at
Buckingham palace trie king and queen
will go to Sandrlngham. and will enjoy
perfect rest for a week or ten days, re
turning to London February 14. in order
to attend parliament in state. After,
.that date they intend making Bucking
ham palace their headquarter and the
London season will probably be unusu
ally long and brilliant.; -- ,
The only "visit ' contemplated by "the
king Is a brief informal one to Paris,
in order to receive a wonderful painting
by the French artist. Olllot, of the great
naval review at Portsmouth which was
commissioned by the French govern
ment for presentation to King George
In order to cement the entente cordiale.

ROSTAND HI
POETICAL FAMILY
Son, and Wife of France's
Great Ballad Writer May
Win Fame.
By Marquis de Castellane.
-(Br the International Newt Set-rice.)
Paris, Jan. 30. Just now ParlB Is wit
nessing a demonstration of the princi
ple of literary heredity. Jacques Ber
nard, though bnly 'JS, Is a playwright.
He is also the son of Tristan Bernard,
the dramatic author.
Maurice Bostand is a poet. Likewise
he has the distinction of being the son
of Edmond Rostand. He has not yet
written a "L'Alglon" or a "Cyrano de
Bergerac" but.he will.
Maurice Is a poet also on his moth
er's Bide .for Rosmonde Gerard Rostand
writes some rosy rhymes. With this
double current of poetry in the family
one may expect a flourishing poetic
house of Rostand, over whose portals
one will read:
-"Poetic- house--of- Rostand. Founded
18RS."
Gossips have been saying that Edmond
is Jealous of the poetry of his son and
wife, Just as the German emperor is
jealous, of the popularity of the crown
prince and his wife. More likely he is
proud of the Infant prodigy. But for
sure the academician has shown himself
sarcastic
The name of the play, "The Good Lit
tle Devil," apon which Mme. Rostand
and her son collaborated. Is borrowed
from the famous Mme. de Segur.

London, Jan. 20. The earl of Tank-
erville's interview giving his reasons
why he took his eon. Lord Ossulton.
away from Eton and brought him to
le.rlca to be educated, has aroused a
storm among British educators arid
former Eton boys. The papers teem
with letters of protest, nearly all of
which blame Lord Ossulton's American
mother, whom they intimate, was dis
pleased becaused her boy was forced
to "fag" like all other boys regardless
of rank. They declare In effect that the
real reason was not that the boy was too
much "kowtowed" because of his title,
but he was not sufficiently "kowtowed."
As the Dally Standards Eton corre
spondent puts it:
"Mothers do not understand the
Spartan rules of Eton."
Much stress Is laid on the fact that
Lord Ossulton spent only one term at
Eton, the term in which boys are sub
mitted to the surgical process of be
ing cut loose from their mammas
apron strings. The controversy, how.
ever, gives an maication or resulting
in an overhauling of thel educational
system at Eton, where Prince George is
now a student.
Dean Inge of St. Paul's cathedral,
who has earned the soubriquet of "The
gloomy, dean" because of his radical
criticism of many honored British In
stitutions, attacked Eton at the head
masters' conference on Wednesday, de
claring that the subjects of study there
were 111 chosen and that the methods of
teaching were radically bad. He
blamed the vested interests, endow
ments and phillstlnlsm for the present
"deplorable conditions."
SENTRY HOLDS POST
AS BROTHER DROWNS
(By the International News Sen-lee.)
Berlin, Jan. 20. A German soldier
must see his father, mother or brother
drowned miserably before his eyes and
within reach without rescuing them
rather than leave his post for a moment
when doing sentry duty. This explains
a remarkable tragedy thaticcurred near
Altenstein in East Prussia.
A soldier named Wilhelni Auspitz was
doing sentry duty. Close by and before
his eyes lay a froaen lake. His own
brother fell through the thin Ice and
struggled for life, appealing plteously
for help and even called his brother by
name.
To rescue his drowning brother Wil
helm woulcfhavc been obliged to throw
down his rifle, leave his post and plunge
into the ice, thereby leaving his post
unguarded for some length of time.
Quickly reviewing the situation in his
mind he resolved to remain faithful to
his duty as a soldier and watch his
brother drown rather than desert his
post. His brother drowned and now
W'ilhelm's parents and relatives accuse
him of cold blooded indifference to the
claims of humanity.
On the other hand he Is praised for
his heroic devotion to duty. Almost ex
actly three years ago a similar case oc
curred at Bronikowen. Germany, and
the sentry who watched a man drown
rather than quit his post was formally
and officially commended.

AND
AGAIN
By Robert Janler.
Paris, Jhii. 20 Paris still assumes an
Incredulous attitude toward the explan
ation that the desecration that the tomb
of Mile. Lantelme was due to the shock
ing attempt of ghoulish thieves to steal
the Jewels which were reported to have
been burled with the-body of the beau
tiful actress. It is pointed out that the
violated vault showed evidences of a
frensy of destruction. Not only were
coffins wrenched open, but the altar
was smashed, the cross, the statues and
vessels shattered and flung into a dis
ordered heap In one corner of the maus
oleum. It Is pointed out that had there
been a definite search for the Jewels
alone of the dead woman, the would-be
robbers would have devoted themselves
solely to that quest and not have wasted
their time on these dreadful evidences
of a wild unreasoning savagery. Not
withstanding that studies have beeti
made by Bertillon, the famous crimi
nologist, who has finger marks that
were left on the wall of the family
vault under consideration, no clue has
yet been found of the grave violators.
. The robbers who broke open the vault
grave, opened three coffins and tore
away the ehroud frpm the body of MUe.
Lantelme are completely lost lri mys
tery. Bloodstains which traced their way
from the violated grave to Ramus bridge
are now washed away.
Ti Mpemft rpmarlrnhiA aIaa that fhn
Yobbers who ransacked Mile. Lantelmt's
coffin did not find the Jewels under the
head of the dead actress for they were
quite bulky. There was a great triple
rope of emeralds with pearl pendants; a
necklace of fine enormous round pearls
with a pendant of an emerald and a
pearshaped pearls two rings and a por
trait of her husband, M. Alfred Edwarda.
Ae any rate these Jewels were not
taken and they are now in the posses
sion of M. Edwards.
The vault, which was that of the Ed
wards' family, contains four" compart
ments and another mystery Is how the
robbers knew the compartment wherein
Mile. Lantelme lay and did not Interfere
with the others. No strangers were pre
sent, at the funeral, which was strongly
guarded by the police. .
In fact mystery thickens around the
very memory of Mile. Lantelme, whose
tragic death took place . from a house
boat at Emmerich, near Cologne, on the
Rhine, last July. Her life, death, vio
lated tomb and now her memory are so
numerous that she is classed among the
unsolved mysteries of Paris. This Is
deepened by the statement made today
that her husband Is engaged to marry
a young, beautiful and rich widow, who
will be the fifth wife for M. Edwards.
The reported engagement calls forth the
recollection that Edwards fainted fre
quently after the death and during the
obsequies nf Mile. Lantelme. The peo
ple are again discussing the circum
stances surrounding the actress' death
and r skins was It .accident, suicide or
crime? Certain it is the crime theory
is gaining ground, though the wild state
ments about revolver shots In the door
of her cabin ore not credited. . Those
who hold the suicide tneory recall that
she wai. nervous about her career In
Patls. She had a childish fear of the
water, was melancholy . often and her
eyes invariably wore a look of astonish
ment and mystery. While no one saw
her fall Into the water, some claim they
heard a cry and splash. Gossips are al
so repeating' that there was a quarrel
between husband and wife, while the de
fenders of the accident theory repeat
that the yacht had windows instead of
portholes and argue that Mile. Lantelme
lout her balance.
Even In early life Mile. Lantelme was
mysterious. Her success at the conser
vatory was not clearly accounted for;
her career as an actress Is said to have
been hastened by tome secret relatives
on her father's side. Mile. Lantelme was
so financially successful that she was
believed to have been chief owner of the
Theatre Rejane. In a word the Lan
telme mystery Is as deep as when

telegram to Dr. Dor iac,i Paris:

Paris, Jan. ao. Since the arrival Of J,
Pierpont Morgan In Paris on Saturday
fortnight, he has been guarded In ex
actly the same way as King Peter of

Ferdinand of Bulgaria or any other
crowned head visiting this city. '
In other words M. Durand, tha suc

to look after the safety of the
American king of finance. Thia la tha
official protection accorded to royalty

ordinary protection and probably does
not know yet that he la getting; it The
theory is that it was suggested by his

announced his retirement as Americas

dor Bacon mentioned to his friend, M
Mollard, 'the official master ef cere--monles,
the impending arrival of J.
Pierpont Morgan and that Mollard
promptly gave the order to have his
moneyed majesty protected like any
other king.
Whatever the explanation may be,
the official protector of kings has a
squad of detectives under his command.
While watching carefully they are net
much in evidence and Mr. Morgan never

In addition, it Is the general belief In
