Emperor William of Germany attended recently the reopening of the Kaiser Wilhelm canal, the great waterway
that connects the North, sea and the Baltic and that was nmed for his imperial majesty. Extensive improvements
have just been completed and the kaiser’s yacht, as the photograph shows, was the first vessel to break the tape
and enter the rebuilt canal.

Dover, Eng., July 18.—An ancient and
picturesque ceremony was revived here to-
day, when Earl Beauchamp was formally in-
stalled Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports.
The “cinque” ports—Dover, Hastings, Hy-
the, Romney and Sandwich—were increas-
ed centuries ago to seven by the addition
01 Ke aru TY n01U:>-,--
name was retained. The office of Lord
Warden was formerly one of the highest un-
der the Crown, as the holder was respon-
sible for the defense and safety of the
south coast of England, but from the Stuart
period its importance has declined, until
now it is merely a sinecure for favored
noblemen of high rank.
Joseph Strzamski, corporal in Co. D, 18th
infantry,-died at the field hospital yesterday
at 2:15 p. m. after suffering two weeks with
.spinal menengitis. Strzamski’s parents, who
reside in Detroit, Mich., have been notified
of his demise and the body is being held by
H. B. Emken, the undertaker, awaiting in-
structions.
WIRE WEAVERS IN SESSION.
New York, July 18.—Delegates to the
American Wire Weavers Protective Asso-
ciation annual convention arrived here to-
Paris, July 18.—Madame Joseph Caillaux,
wife of the former Premier and Minister of
Finance, will go on trial for her life here
Monday in the Court of Assizes, charged
with the murder of aston Calmette, editor
of “Le Figare."
Mme. Caillaux’s defense, it is said, will
amount practically to a plea of “Brain
Storm,” that she “acted in a moment of
folly.” This plea, it is understood, will be
reinforced by a denial that Mrs. Caillaux
was directly responsible for Calmette’s death,
the charge being made that the surgeons
attending Calmette after the shooting might
have saved his life easily had they operated
in time. A third string to the defense’s
bow will be in the nature of a justification
plea, editor Calmette’s attacks being of an
alleged personal nature and exceedingly vio-
lent in tone, calculated to destroy what to
the Caillaux couple was more precious than
life; the good standing of the wife.
Scores of witnesses have been subpoenaed,
including former Prime Ministers, Cabinet
officials, Senators, Deputies, Judges, law-
yers, Princesses and Social leaders, while the
President of the Republic, Raymond Poin-
care, will testify through a deposition. The
public practically will be barred, since the
room is small and a small army of law-
yers, officials, newspaper correspondents and
the like have asked admission.

Seattle, Wash., July 18.—Poor hard work-
ing, much mis-understood, thoroughly down-
trodden and altogether abused “Dad,” like
the proverbial worm, has turned and today-
hundreds of alleged heads of families from
every northwestern city gathered here to
celebrate the throwing off of marital shackles
for at least twenty four hours out of the
ence wherein he’nsocefpreiFpaahle.-gsist:
cant corner, while “Ma” has been heralded
as the cornerstone of the nation and hoi e
of the future, Dad has decided he should
have a day. “Dad’s Day,” was hel i in con
nection with the annual Tilikum Potlatch
celebration, when the Pacific coast for three
days each year joins Seattle in merrymaking.
The protest against dishwashing, floor
scrubbing, cradle rocking, bread making and
all other domestic woes heaped upon hus-
bands by tyrannical housewives, reached a
. climax when, headed by Governor Ernest
Lister, and with Mayor Hi Gill and hundreds
of other “ Dads” in chains, wheeling per-
ambulators, feeding lusty infants, and
performing other stunts, paraded the streets
in all their degradation.
The Potlatch will come to a close tonight
with dancing in the streets in masquerade
costume, amidst a gay riot of confetti and
fun.

For information of numerous people of
the city, who phone in want ads, church no-
tices, etc., for Saturday’s issue of The Times,
we wish to state that the operative force
leaves the office at 1 p. m. and that in order
that they may enjoy this half-holiday once
a week, it is necessary that the paper go
to press about 11:30 a. m. Therefore, we
request that all church notices for Satur-
day’s paper be turned in to the city editor
on Friday afternoon, and all want ads phon-
ed in by 10 o’clock Saturday morn-
ings. w ant ads and notices for other daily
issues may be sent in as late as 1 p. m. and
will be published that same day, unless, on
account of lack of space, it may prove
impossible. , :.9
Brigadier General Robert J.
Evans, of El Paso, who has been
away from his post on leave of
absence, stopped over in Texas
City today and is the guest of
the officers of the Second Divi-
sion.
Gen. Evans was met at the
junction by Major General J.
Franklin Bell’s automobile and
brought into the city at 12:30
p. m. escorted by three troops of
the 6th cavalry.
On his arrival at the Division
Headquarters on Sixth Street
the customary salute of eleven
guns was fired by the artillery.
Brigadier General Evans’ visit
to the camp here is an informal
one and he will probably leave
tomorrow for El Paso.
Portsmouth, Eng., Juy 18.—The mightiest
war fleet ever assembled in British waters
was reviewed today at Spithead by King
George. Four hundred warships of the
First, Second and Third Fleets, including
twenty five great dreadnoughts and between
sixty and seventy submarines, were drawn
up in long lines stretching into the Solent,
and presented a magnificant spectacle as
the royal yacht Alexandra steamed slowly
through the squadrons.
The King, who was accompanied by
Queen Mary and the Prince of Wales, was
received with full naval honors on arriving
here from London, and immediately board-
ed the royal yacht. The hoisting of the
royal standard was the signal for a 101 guns
royal salute, led by Nelson’s historic flag-
ship Victory, whose wooden hulk looked
ridiculous amid the modern ironclads.
All the ships were dressed rainbow fashion
and as the Alexandra passed along the lines
the crews manned the bulwarks and gave
three ringing cheers. During inspection,
which lasted nearly two hours, the ships
saluted by squadrons and the boom of guns
seemed incessant. The royal party returns
to London tonight.
Harvey A. Thomas, secretary of the Tex-
as City Company, returned yesterday after-
noon from a business trip to San Antonio
and Austin. Mr. Thomas stated this morn-
ing that he called on the secretary of the
Chamber of Commerce in Austin and that
that gentleman said that while Austin was
not represented at the recent meeting held
in Dallas for the purpose of boosting Galves-
ton Bay for the terminus of the government,
oil pipe line from Oklahma, Austin is in
hearty accord with the movement to make
Texas City the terminal point, and believed '
that all the live interests of that city would
support this point.
The people of Texas City turned out in
full force last night to the Candidates Bar-
becue at First Avenue and Fourth Street.
Speaking began at 4 o’clock, and several
candidates who were late in arriving had to
do their talking after the eats were served.
The management of feeding over 1500
people was given to H. L. Woodliff, who
deserves much credit for the way in which
he handled the proposition. He was also
instrumental in making the entire event
the success that it was.
Ed. S. McCarver, Judge Ed. F. Watts,
P. F. Ripley and R. B Long, were the com-
mittee on arrangements and were on the job
early Mr. McCarver introduced the speak-
ers in their turn and limited the spe aches
to a certain time, so as to give all the can-
didates a chance.
Among the speakers who expounded their
ideas of government to the people of Texas
City last night, were County Judge George
E. Mann, County Clerk George S. Burgess,
Sheriff Henry Thomas, Assessor F. Mc-
Nichols, Jim Compton, Fred T. Gloor, Chas.
H. Theobald, Henry O’Dell, Miles Crow-
ley, A. L. Beason, Medlenka, T. J. Dick,
Robert L. Pillow, H. A. Deats, JI- John-
son, w. S. VanTreese, w. B. Andrews,
Harry W. Abbott, M. G. Terry, W. H. Bai-
ley, Rees N. Davis, John R. Lankford, Geo.
Moody and J. D. Porter-
Everyone who attended reported a good
time and the entire event was a most pleas-
ant and successful one
perity to many brings self-indulgence. Many
prosperous men, you will notice, play with
their automobile like the poorer man would
play with his baby.
“Another tendency that causes race sui-
cide is the high rent of desirable apartments.
A family with an average income desires a
good flat. Good flats are expensive. A
young couple can often afford a four room
abode, which furnishes sleeping space for
two. The family is naturally prejudiced
in the matter of children under such circum-
stances and little by little the desire for
family additions is smothered in the artifi-
cial economy of their new lives.”
The twenty-first ward, populated mostly
by folks of moderate means, is keeping its
reputation for small birth-rate, Bodine stat-
ed. The twenty-fifth ward, where there
are more young brides living than in any
quarter of Chicago, threatens to fall in line
with the twenty-first.
Chicago, July 18—Young Mr. Husband
of moderate means who sacrifices his par-
enthood so that he may live in a flat with
a good view of the lake and a southern-
exposure, or that he may engage in polite
revelry, ame in for a scoring today by W.
Lester Bodine, superintendent of compul-
sory education, in charge of the city census
just completed. Statistics gathered so far,
Bodine states, indicate that the fashionable
apartment house districts of Chicago, espec-
ially along the north shore, are sadly in lack
of children.
“In considering the state of affairs which
causes a lack of children along the north
shore apartment house district,” said Bo-
dine, “I believe the society-man is more to
blame than the society woman. Quite often
the gay life of young husbands sets a pace
that kills the health of fatherhood, and
children that do come are weaklings. Pros-
Announcement was made late Friday
that C. A. Bynum, at present general
. , for the Mobile & Ohio Rai}
road, with heausMauv-------—
has been appointed vice president and gen-
eral manager of the Texas City Transporta-
tion Company, and the Texas City Terminal
Company, succeeding the late J. R. Dillon.
Mr. Bynum will be a new addition to
the rail and steamship forces of Texas, al-
though he is well known all over the South
and West. Previous to accepting his pres-
ent position with the Mobile & Ohio he was
for a number of years in charge of the
Illinois Central terminals at New Orleans,
and was also connected with the Erie and
Chalmette lines at New Orleans. The ap-
pointment is said to be effective immediate-
ly, and Mr. Bynum is expected to arrive in
this city between now and Aug. 1.

Stockholm, July 18.—Homer Baker and
Harry Smith, American athletes who have
successfully competed in a number of big
track meets since their arrival in Europe,
today were to compete in the Swedish meet
here. After a few weeks here they will go
to France to take part in the French na-
tional meet at Lyons.
Beaumont, July 18.—Consideration of
plans to have the government accept a site
near Port Neches as the location for the ter-
minus of the proposed pipe line was the
tive committee and the advisory’ tre mr-
tee of the Chamber of Commerce at 3 o’-
clock yesterday afternoon.
Representatives of the Port Arthur com- •
mercial body attended the meeting and rep-
resentativs of the Orange Commercial club
were also invited.
Inasmuch as Galveston, Houston and
Texas City have combined to try to locate
the pipe line terminus at the latter place,
Ch amber of Commerce officials have thought
it wise to try to establish a community in-
terest between Beaumont, Port Arthur and
Orange, and it is for this purpose that the
meeting was held.
Denver, July 18.—“Spooning is no crime.
It should be encouraged. The city should
provide long shady lanes and benches for
lovers. John J. Alexander of Chicago
doesn’t know what he is taikng about.’
Thus valian 1y does Dr. Paull S. Hunter
of the state board of health come to the
defense of the love smitten He denies
every allegation that Alexander made when
he addressed 500 young women recently at
an international Sunday School conference
and said spooning is degrading. He said
g6rls should not allow it. Dr. Hunter
proves his contention by quoting Shakes-
peare.
“The bard of Avon says that all the world
loves a lover and it is equally true that all
the world loves a spooner—especially wom-
en. Spooning is a natural recreation.
“No man, especially one in the vigor of
adolescence refuses to spoon. If a married
man does not spoon with his wife, he is busy
spooning with some other women. Cessa-
tion of spooning is the sure mark of the be-
ginning of the end of matrimonial felicity.
“Spooning is the hand maid of matrimony
and marriages produced by contracts are

ernor of that state before the present
administration was eulogized. Senator
Thompson, Rep. Campbell and several other j
members of the Kansas delegation in con-
gress spoke.
