Crown Princess of
Sweden Leaves FulL
Funeral Instructions
Stockholm, May 9. A document
written by Crown' Princess Gustave
Adolph of Sweden in 1914 contains
detailed instructions for her funeral,
which is to take place 'Ascension
day, May 13. The crown princess,
who before her marriage was Prin
cess Margaret ot tonnaugnt, aiea
May 1. '
She directed that her coffin be
placed in an open carriage, as is the
custom in the case of peasants in
Sweden, and that the carriage be
covered with greens instead of
mourning. She asked that special
places at her funeral be given to
relatives and friends without regard
to rank.
The document requests that there
be no sermon, merely scriptural
reading in English, and stipulates
that burial be in the open instead of
in the Riddarholms church, where
the tombs of the royal family are
located.
The kings of Denmark and Nor
way and representatives of the prin
cess' family will attend the obsequies.

Chicago Tribune-Omaha Bee Leased Wire.
ew York, May 9. As the im
provement of railroad facilities is
one of the most important subjects
before the public today, last week's
events at Washington are worthy of
close attention. For one thing it
was made clear at the hearing be
fore the senate interstate commerce
committee sthat railway managers
and railway bankers were not in
complete accord in respect to meth
ods of financing immediate needs of
the carrier..
Representative railroad executives
stressed the necessity, as it appeared
to them, of having the government
carry the burden until such time as
increased revenue rehabilitated rail
road credit, whereas the bankers
held that the stronger, roads could
sell sufficient securities, at a price
to carry them along. ' Instead of
adding to the railroad revolving fund
of $300,000,000 a special credit of
$500,000,000 for the purchase of
equipment, the bankers thought that
the original appropriation by con
gress would be enough to care for
the "weaker" roads, the others to
look after themselves through sales
of their paper. It was estimated
that the investment market could
absorb from $125,000,000 to $250,
000,000 notes and bonds this year of
the calibre presumably of recent
sales by the Pennsylvania, Dela
ware & Hudson and others.
Interest In Problem.
There is more than passing Interest In
these points of view, outside of the direct
application to the railroad problem. The
bankers, presumably, maintain that it
would be better for the country if the
major transportation systems were re
juvenated and expanded slowly, provided
that the means used prevented a further
expansion of the already burdensome tax
ation program. A great increase In the
demand on the treasury would certainly
result fom a growth of loans to the rail
ways. Either taxes would have to be
increased or the treasury would be forced
to sell more securities.
If It was decided to Issue new notes
or bonds with government endorsement,
the effect, upon the Investment market
would be to contract the field where the
well-intrendhed railroads have been suc
cessful in disposing of about $175:000,000
of securities In the last three months.
The railroads are not alone in need of
much new capital, for unless a business
depression of wide scope Is at hand. In
dustrial corporations and municipalities
will be lu the market for Investors funds
from time to time.
The bankers consider the outlook In
terms dealing with fundamentals, corn
prosing a desire to conserve the invest
ment market, a belief that heavier taxa
tion would tend to restrain inaustrai ac
tvty and the thought that he conserva
tive use of funds by the carriers would
promote more efficient handling of exist
ing equipment and terminal facilities.
Railroad operating men, quite naturally,
are impatient to forge ahead.
Freight Car Shortage.
Chairman E. Nn. Brown of the St.
Louis & San Francisco, estimates that
there Is a present .-shortage of 226,000
freight cars and 3,190 locomotives, the
purchase of which, together with more
than 9.000 passenger cars, would entail
an outlay Of $1,600,000,000. The current
great congestion of goods and grain In
warehouses bears ample testimony to in
efficient railroad equipment. Ana me
anient and Quickest way for raising
money which could be put to work im
mediately Is through government chan
nels. The question to be decided is
wtiAfii the hnnklnff or railroad point of
view will be the more beneficial for the
"long pull." and tnat is wnat tne wasn
Ington hearings are to decide.
PROGRESS OF THE CROPS.
Weekly Crop Bulletin of the Agricultural
ljureau oi tne uribm iimiuirer
of Commerce,
The first week in May, generally speak
ing, has been the most favorable of the
season for both farm work and crop
growth. There are still large areas, how
ever, where conditions are far from ideal.
The week opened Vlth moderate to heavy
rains over the western part of the spring
wheat territory extending south over the
Black Hllla and northeastern Nebraska
Into Iowa. Another area of heavy rainfall
extended from southeastern Nebraska
across Missouri and southern Illinois into
Tennessee. In considerable areas the rain
fall was in excessof two inches and farm
operations came to a standstill.
Low temperatures continued In connec
tion with this period of precipitation. ,In
The Ohio river valley the average tem
perature was 9 degrees below normal. The
middle of the week a warm wave came
Into the middle west bringing normal
temperatures. This was followed by rains
which were generally light along the
Platte and Missouri rivers In Nebraska,
but gave an Inch or more In central and
western Kansus; points where moisture
has been much needed.
Farm operations progressed without, In
terruption in the eastern part of the spring
wheat belt, Minnesota reporting seeding
of wheat completed except on the heavy
lands of the northwest. The Red river
valley land has been wet and cold from
heavy snowfall of winter and lack of sun
shine. Both the Dakotas and Montana have
had more than normal rainfall and are
behind hand in all seeding operations, and
have had heavy losses of young lambs
and calves.
Nearly all parts, of the south except
northern Texas and Oklahoma, which still
need rain, report good growth of crops
although they have farm work In bad
shape from interrupted planting opera
tions, causing both corn and cotton plant
ting still to be under way, while early
planted fields require cultivation. Prepara
tion for corn planting made slow progress
everywhere except in Kansas and Routhern
Nebraska, but planting seems to have got
under way In localities as far north as
the Platte river in Nebraska.
Very little planting is reported from
fowa and the corn belt states east of the
Mississippi river. The Pacific coast states
report generally unfavorable weather.
Rain would be welcomed at all coast
points, except perhaps, In the Puget
sound country.
Owing to the uniformly cool weather
during the season all sections ot the coun
try report abundant bloom on all frfllte,
and with the bloomlns- neried retarded nn
tender fruits like peach and plum, there ; tarily as Alfred's jdescription of the

HOLDING A HUSBAND
Adele Garrison's New Phase of
Revelations of a Wife
The Thoughts That Troubled
Madge as She Went to
Meet Dicky.
I confess it shamefacedly, I strained
my ears for Leila's answer to
Alfred's query: "Did you tell her?"
But either her voice was too low or
my hurrying footsteps had carried
me out jof earshot. At any rate, I
heard nothing further, and the rest
of the way down the boulevard my
curiosity tormented me preposter
ously as to the thing concerning
which Alfred had asked. J
For Leila had told me nothing
which all of us did not already
know about the wedding scheduled
for three weeks away. The Fair
fax sisters were orphans, and their
father's old home in Virginia had
been sold. under 'the auctioneer's
hammer several'years before, some
thing to which neither sister could
ever allude without a choke in her
voice. But Leila was not to be
married without the blessing and
the background of her own kin.
An aunt of her mother's an elder
ly spinster, lived still in the historic
old house of , her family in the "sand
bill" section of North Carolina, the
"land of the long-leafed pine," and
when the news of Leila's engage
ment had reached her, Aunt Dora
Paige had written a peremptory yet
loving command that the girl should
come to the old home and be mar
ried from it.
A Notable Letter.
"It is not fitting," the old gentle
woman had written in beautiful old
fashioned chirography, "that Edith
Paige's daughter should be married
anywhere else than ,in her mother's
old home: If your father's house
was not iu the hands of strangers,
I should, of course, waive my claim,
but under the circumstances I must
insist that you and your sister come
to me, with your betrothed and his
family and any of your friends you
may wish to bring."
When Leila had read me this
letter I had exclaimed at such lav
ish, unlimited hospitality, but the
Virginia girl, brought up in an at
mosphere of similar liberality I
suspected that it was partly the rea
son why there was no longer any
thing but a slender income for the
orphaned sisters had taken it as a
matter of course.
"Aunt Dora loves lots of guests,"
she said simply. , '"She'll have the
time of her life fussing around for
a wedding."
"Your mother went from this
house a bride," the letter went bn.
"I-put the flowers in her hair, ad
justed her veil and gave her the last
kiss she received as Edith Paige, for
as you know I was all the mother
she had. Her own mother, my dear
brother's wife, died when she was a
baby. Since you girls went to New
York I have feared sometirnts that
I should pass on before I saw either
of you married. ,i
Isn't She Delicious?"
"I have made some inquiries con
cerning your husband from some
northern people who winter near
here, and I am; very well satisfied
with the reports they give me. He
is evidently of very good family for
a Yankee, and I suppose it was
too much to hope that either of you
girls would find a mate down here,
although I had thought once that
Edith but enough of that 'now. I
do not understand Edith. The last
time I saw her I thought that she
was unhappy "
Leila had stopped abruptly at this
point, and I knew that she looked
at me quickly, furtively.
"That is all about me," she said.
"Isn't she delicious? 'Evidently of
very good family for a Yankee.' Poor
Aunt Dora! She's the best unrecon
structed rebel you might ever hope
to see. But she is the sweetest old
dear for all that."
"I aan well believe it," I returned
easily, with a quick smile at her, and
I saw by the look of relief upon her
ingenius face that she thought I
hadn't noticed her breaking off of
the letter at the sentence concern
ing her sister Edith's unhappiness.
But I had noticed it only too
clearly, had thought of it several
time since, and now, with a wo
man's unreasoning intuition I won
dered if the answer to Alfred's query
had anything to do with Edith Fair
fax, the girl whose unrequited love
for Dickey had caused me so much
uneasiness.
I put the speculation r.way from
me firmlv. however, as I caught
sight of Dicky, and smiled involun-

Berlin, May 9. General Erhardt, I
commander of the Baltic brigade,
which recently entered Berlin, has
fled the country after addressing his

to subject his brigade to fighting if
the government attempted to take

For Smithers, a fellow-commuter
of my husband's and characterized
by him as 'holding the champion
ship for a conversational gas at
tack," was literally buttonholing
Dicky, despite his palpable efforts
to edge away, and talking as earn-
estly as if he were being paid by
the word for his effort.
"Oh, Dicky 1" I hastened my foot
steps and simulated perturbation as
I neared him. "Mr. Mather called
you up a little while ago and is very
anxious to get hold of .you. He
said it was very important. I'm
sorry to take him away, Mr. Smith
ers, but" ,
"Oh, I understand perfectly I" Mr.
Smithers said graciously, and, when
we were out of earshot Dicky said
with a wide grin,
"I suppose that call of Mather's
was the one he put in yesterday. x
"Of course," I returned demurely.
"Me faithful spouse I" Dicky ex
claimed dramatically. "You have
saved my life, and you shall be re
warded. Little you know your good
fortune. You think you married an
ordinary man, but let me beg to in
form you that you are a best man's
wife, or will be when old Alf
jumps over the broomstick."
The News That Dicky Broke to
Madge.
At Dicky's atrocious pun, I caught
my breath in startled recognition of
the Meaning of Alfred Durkee's
query to Leila. This must be the
thing which he had expected her to
tell me.' A little warning voice in
my subconsciousness made me dis
semble for a moment. ,
"Please translate into United
States, Dicky," I said laughing. "I
haven't the' slightest idea what you
mean." , .
He looked at me quizzically.
"Now I wonder if you're really
dense or are just pretending for
some unknown reason of your own,"
he said shrewdly. "However, I'll
elucidate. Firstly, Meester Alfred
Durkee, Esq., is to be maried. Ergo,
he is to be a bridegroom. Secondly,
he r.eeds a best man. Thirdly, I am
or he says I am, his best friend.
Ergo, I ant chosen to be it! The
whole works! His best man! Quod
et demonstrandum! Do you see?"
"I see," I returned, ihwolutarily
laughing at his ridiculous farrago
with its jumbled mixture of terms,
but secretly more disturbed at his
news than I would have cared to let
anyone .perceive. For, of course, I
knew, as did we all, that Edith Fair
fax was to be her sister's maid of
honor, and I could r.ot rise above
the foolish feminine feeling that I
could not bear to see my husband so
closely and romantically associated
with her, as he would be in the rela
tion of best man and maid of honor
at a wedding.
In Gay Mood.
But I saw that, Dicky was elated
at the news, that for some reason
he was pleased as Punch because
Alfred had given him the honor, and
I resolved that I would let no fool
ish jealous thought of mine disturb
him.
"How splendid!" I forced as much
enthusiasm into my tone as I could
manage: "This means a trip south
for you, doesn't it?"
He looked at me quizzically, his
eyes dancing. I saw that he was in
one of his teasing moods, and I
prepared to discount everything he
said.
"Of course," he returned. "Don't
you wish you were I? I really feel
sorfy for you, poor dear, -indeed I

do, condemned to the rain and snow,
and sleet we always get up here in
the spring, while I bask in the sun
shine and roses and strawberries
and watermelons of North Carolina."
"You must be contemplating an
extended stay," I commented de
murely. "I never have been south,
but I have always been led to sup
pose that roses and strawberries are
not due for several weeks to come
in the Carolinas, and watermelons
are you really going to be gone so
long from home, Dicky, dear?"
He suddenly stretched his arms
high above his head in the attitude
of a man held up by a midnight
marauder, calmly ignoring the scan
dalized amusement of two women on
the other side of the street.
"Don't shoot! I'll come down," he,
quoted.
"Dicky 1" I protested in a whisper,
"Do s"top!'Seel those women are
looking at you."
"What a treat they're having!" he
retorted. "I'll give thm another."
To my horror, he lowered his
arms, faced the women, both of
whom were known only by sight to
me, swept off his hat and made them
a low obeisance savoring more of
feudal times than it did of the pres
ent day. Then he turned to me and '
offered me his arm with courtly
grace, but witn sucn a . aevn or
amusement in his eyes that I felt
compelled to take it for fear of what
worse thing he might to next. And
as I walked down the street in this
ridiculous fashion I was sure tha,t
the report of my husband's probable
acce to some hidden store of in
toxicants was already on the wing
in Marvin. He shot a sly look at me
as we turned the corner into our
own street. x'
"Mad by me?" he coaxed. ,
"You know better," I returned,
giving his arm a little squeeze. And,
indeed, his good humor was infec
tious. I have always found it im
possible, to be angry with Dicky
when he is in one of his irresponsi
ble moods.
"That's my good girl." He cap
tured my hand, tucked it within his
own, and we went on down the
street in this ridiculous, lover-like
fashion, to which, however, I found
even my N trained fastidiousness
making no objection.
"As long as you're behaving your
self so nicely," he began a few min
ute's later, "I don't mind telling you
that you're invited, to the ancestral
southern home,- too."
"I guessed as much," I replied de
murely, "especially as Leila has been
urging me to go down with, her for
weeks. I am afraid we will be
rather a large party even for a Caro
lina aunt's hospitality Leila. Edith.
Alfred, his mother, you and I."
"Nqt forgetting our dear old
friends, Rita Brown and Majah
Hughia Grantland." Dicky drawled.
