OXFORD TUTORS BEAR TESTIMONY Objection In Mn'e that They Kali to Settle llonn Seriously 1o Long pell of Thorough Work In Similes. HY PAl.L LAMBETH. LONDON. April ). (Special to The Bee.) The men milliners and gown maker among the men members of the nobility are all In a flutter about the dun's they are " to wear at the coming coronation. No bevy of women were ever more concerned bout the dresses they were to wear at hall. 't la understood that It Is the intntlon of the king and queen to wear the same ce.tf monial robes at their coronation as were made for and used by King Edward and Wiieen Alexandra. The king's mantle resembles a cape and fits the shoulders, being fastened In front by a clasp. It Is made of cloth of (told woven of plate-gold threads worked upon silk. Cpon the cloth of Rold Is embroidered a design of laurel leaves, other parts of the robe being em broidered with emblems In various colors. The emblems consist of the Imperial crown, the imperial eagle, the rose, sham rock. the thistle, and the lotus-flower, the emblem of India. The queen's mantle, of n wonderful shade of ruby purple velvet. Is eighteen feet In length. Standing boldly In the cen ter Is the crown, with the genista, .the badge of the Plantagcnets. from which springs a rose tree. Norfolk's Instructions. Th duke of Norfolk, aa earl marshall, who la a sort of a dancing master, has Is sued Instruction regarding robes to be worn by peera and peeresaea. They are to be of crimson velvet, and the capea are to b powdered with bara similar to the "powdering" on tha capea of peers. By th depth of the edging of fur on the man tle th degree of the wearer la indicated. A baroness wears an edging of two lndhes, a viscountess two Inches, a counteaa three Inches, a marchioness four Inches, a-duch-ess five Inches. " The "Vngtri'oY a peeress" train upon the ground yet another sign of degree Is pet acrlbed by tha earl marshall as fololws: Baroness, one yard; viscountess, One and a quarter yard; countess, pne and one-half yard; marchioness, one and three-fourths yard,:, duchess, two yards. Thirty-eight thousand soldiers will march under commund of Lord Kitchener. The ceremonies will cost the government 11.000,000. "ew Peera Almost Certain. Alexander Murray, master of Ellbank, rhief liberal whip, has In a letter to fir Thomas Uorthwlck given a strong Intima tion that the liberal party will create enough peers to swamp the lory element In the Mouse of Lords, lis says In part: "We are able to state on high authority that the king will take whatever steps may be advised by his ministers to secure that In the next Parliament, the will of the people. a. expressed at the general elec tion, shall prevail. "Mr Balfour appears to find no fault with the past action of the House of Lords, which, between ISO and l!e. In a riot of 1 political recklessness, rendered the liberal government Impotent, and merely desires constitutional reform, In . order to strengthen the House of Lords. Confronted with these terms, It Is useless to talk of voluntary settlement." Yankee Students Uulsg Well, In bis annual report the president of the Carnegie Foundation has this to say of the Rhodes American scholars, quoting Ox ford tutors: "The Hhodes scholars who have come to this college from the I'nited Mates are In point of natural ability fully the equal of our ordinary open scholars; In po nt of energy, aerlousness and force of charao ter, they are In my Judgment, decidedly their superiors. "About their work we are not quite so well satisfied. The American scholars who have come to us are Intelligent and Inter ested In many subjects. But they seldom or never settle down to do a long spell of thorough work. They have nearly all ceased to develop by the time they grad uate In the States, and do not really feel Inclined to go much further. It must be remembered alao, that they have not tha same Incentive to work as a colonist acholar. The latter knows that honors gained at an English university will be of some help to him In after life. The Amer ican, on the other hand, feels that his fu ture career does not depend In any appreci able degree upon our examinations. American scholars seem Inclined to drift from one subject to another, taking a bird's eye view pf euch. and resting content with that." Irirr Police Dug.

The Turkish Parliament Is rapidly acquiring western customs. Ismail Ktmal Bey, leader of the moderate liberal party, having reiterated the opinion, based on the offers made to the old regime by British syndicate, that the Bagdad rail way could have been constructed without a kllometiic guarantee, continued, with reference to an insinuation made by a lo cal newspaper with regard to the motives for supporting the concession. In the fol lowing words: "I consider that In attempting to save the country ,OUO,000 I acted more pa triotically than those who allowed a for eign company to prey upon Its resources.' Th remark was taken up as a personal Insult by th grand vUier, who rushed forward and selxed the deputy by the arms.

Two t'urnkcys were recently hacked to ('eath in.lhe tirison at Bruschal by n Rus- aved from the block through the exercise of the grand ducal prerogative of mercy. A year ago a tourist was shot dead and lobbed as he sat on a wayside bench en joying the .view at one of the most Picturesque points of. the Black. Forest. The murderer was caught and proved to be I'hlllppson. It could hardly be pre tended that there were extenuating rlr- umstanees In the ease and the people were indignant at the sovereign's Inter ference with the death sentence passed uiion im. ' - rhillppson was sent to serve out his ng term at Bruschal. He managed to ecrete a pair of Fclssors and when Warden Schmitt opened the door to Inspect his cell the murderer sprang at him and burled his Instrument in his aim. The wounded man fel. l'hilippson was Just about to ad minister the coup de grace when another turnkey named Carl Kaufmann appeared Before he had time to realize what was happening, the criminal raised his weapon and struck the newcomer with such force that It penetrated the man's heart, killing him. rhillppson now turned to finish his first victim, whom he stabbed in the back. Inflicting a' fatal wound.' Other wardens huitled to' the spot and the murderer was overpowered. ' .. Latest "nipper" f aaght. The police have arrested the supposed 'Jack the Ripper." The suspected man la Richard Bennenlts, aged 28 years, and he charged with attacking thirty-five women. ' ' ' ' The arrest recalls the ghastly series of ei'.mes which terrified Berlin for two years, when the repeated attacks on -women re sulted In the organization of civilian de- fense leagues. .- ' At first the "Ripper" began his outrages by attacking children. Berliner had hoped that the last had been heard of "Ripper" outrages,-but In February, 1909, . the city was startled ' to find that ten women and girls had been attacked In five days, and before the first week was over twenty-six outrages had been reported. Frantic appeals came In to the police begging them to do something to cope with the reign of terror. Special watchmen were hired tramway men, members of the fire brigade and postmen were made special constables and the public . were -warned not to waste time In assisting the victim, but to do the utmost to catch th criminal. Among the victims was the little daughter of a banker, who was attacked while walk ing out with her governess. The audacity of the criminal may be gathered from the fact that one attack took place In a house containing a branch police station. The panic state of the police got to such a pitch that the chief of police published the suggestion that women and girls should carry a tiny sack of flour and If attacked pour It over the assailant so that he might b recognized by the state of his clothing. Health Resort for Children. A company has been formed here for the purpose of establishing on the shore of the Baltic a health resort for children suffer ing from w hooping, cough. The establish ment will Include Isolated houses, each for one family; playgrounds and other oppor tunities for recreation will be provided, and there will be a large separate kitchen In which all the food will be prepared. Case for Damages. An Incident which occurred here Is surely without precedent In human annals.

Th manager of the muslo hall, who needed them to fulfill their engagement, went after them and by depositing the sum claimed seoured their liberation. But it la said the matter Is not to end there. No charge was made against one of the twins, yet she was subjected to the Indignity of being carried away under po lice escort and flung Into a cell. A charge 1 absolutely necessary, whatever the evi dence may be. It is obviously a case of Illegal Imprisonment without a particle of Justification or excuse.

The Wages of Sin Paid by. Woman Who Loved a Boy Sensational Tragedy and Trial of the Lad for Murder Results in Acquittal. KINGSTON. Jamaica. April 1. (Special to The Bee.) A most ' dramatic murder trial here has just ended In a verdict of acquittal. Arthur Norman V'eiiey, 21,: the son of a wealthy planter, who Is president OI of the Jockey club In Jamaica and well I known throughout the Island, waa charged with the murder by poison of a singularly, beautiful woman named Florence Robinson, 28, the wife of a Kingston solicitor. The two had known each other for some years and were blindly Infatuated with each other. The friendship between the two reached a stage at which their relatives thought It necessary to interfere. The father and the mother pleaded with their misguided son, the woman's brother- in-law reasoned with her, and th lad' father plainly told her that tha youth would b reduced to poverty unless their clandestine meetbigs cessed. But all to ho purpose. The woman believed she could not live without the boy. They met In a lonely wood In the Island and on the fol lowing day her dead body was found wrapped In young Verity's coat. He waa the bearer of the terrible news to Mrs. Robinson brother-in-law. and then it waa found that he, too, had par taken of the same poison as that which had caused her death. The crown authori ties of Jamaica believed It was a case of suicide mutually agreed upon, and as the law frays that the survivor In such a case Is guilty of murder Verley had to stand his trial on the capital charge. Mrs. Robinson had written him to meet her, and , the prosecution suggested that the desperate lovers agreed to die together. Th defense centered around the iioinl that Verley, being CJgnlxant of Mrs. Rubin son's oliitracted state of mind, bought the poison as a means of pacifying her. This view was accepted by the Jury and Verley was acquitted of murder. Next dry he pleaded "guilty" to attempted suuide, but lb presiding Judge set him fie.

This petition haa been examined by the senate's committee, which deals with such matters, and its chairman, woifsy u Anglas, who has long been a firm believer In the right of the Naundorff to call themselves the descendents of the III fated Louis XVI. has drawn up a fu- voiable report. It Is very voluminous, and treats exhaustively with the whole mat te:- As the senate's committee supports the petition, the questlun can no longer be set aside. of course, this has nothing to do with any special pretention under this republi can regime. All that the Naundorffs ask Is that their claim to call themselves Bourbons may be legally recognized, and also that they may be admitted to French nationality as a logical consequence of such recognition. They go no further than this, nor, on the other hand. Is their pre tection, if it Is acknowledged, likely to crista any tremendous transformation scene In the ranks of the lingering adher ents of monarchy.

Diplomats are seeking to ar rest any outbreaks of hostilities with other countries, during the remainder of the reign of the aged monarch and are more than pleased at the friendly spirit of the interview between the two rulers.

Peters burg Is delving into the secrets of the "'Black Hundred" organization In the trial of (r man named Iwiretchkln, who Is charged with having murdered a factory workman In 1.I0 by firing four revolver shots at him. It has been shown that crimes were plotted and carried out with boldness, but that Immunity was enjoyed for many years by these so-called mon archists.

Were It not for the "protection" notori ously extended to the "Black Hundred" over a long period, the evidence of the policeman Kudrlnvzeff would be almost In credible, lie actually witnessed the murde, of Muchin, but explained that he did not attempt to arrest Laretchkln liecause "members of t,hc 'Black Hundred' were always released and had their arms re turned to them." Owing to the amazing charges preferred In the cose, the court has ordered a sup plementary Investigation to be made, a! complete revelation of the "Black Hun-1 dred" exploits will be made, before the trial is ended.
