Separated From Husband,
Titled Woman May Study
Sociology. ,
NEW YORK, March 7.—Coniuelo.
duchess of Marlboro, daughter of Wil
liam K. Vanderbilt, was a passenger
on the Cunard line steamship Lucanla,
which -arilyed .iddgy from Liverpool-
Her name did not appear "on the pas-
senger list, but goon after the vessel
left Queenstown It became pretty gen
erally known that she was on board.
It waa said that the main object of
the duchest' dying trip was to see her
mother, Mrs. Oliver H. P. Belmont, tho
she may make further sociological i
studies at the Tombs and. Ellis Island.
Cable dispatches from London say
that Consuelo. sines l)er separation
from the duke of Marlboro, has become
deeply Interested In the theories of So
cialism, and that the. leaders of Eng
land’s social democratic federation
have hopes that she will become one
of them.

About Emperor Wil
liam’s Missive.
The famous “back tax case" Is once
more an open Issue for the courts.
In an order passed Saturday after
noon the. supreme court simply made
the mandate of the United States su
preme court Its Judgment, and directed
that the matter go back to Fulton su-
parlor court, where such action as de
sired might be taken, not in consistent
with the decree of the United States su.
preme court.
Attorney General Hart's order asked
for In the recent hearing was not fol
lowed, the casea being sent back with
out any direction whatever. Judge Hart
asked that certain directions be given
looking to the fixing of values, and ad
mitting testimony to that effect.
When the matter comes before Judge
Pendleton, the state will probably
make a move toward reopening the
cases. It Is believed that the Georgia
road will hardly resist any further thru
the courts. There Is a possibility that
a compromise will be reached between
the Georgia road and the state shortly,
ey the road paying over something
like 2)28,000.
It seems equally assured that the
Central will fight to the last ditch.

PHILADELPHIA, Mareh 7,—After
cutting a wide swath of terror thru a
peaceful twenty-mile stretch of New
Jersey, three desperate safe-breakers
were treed today In n wooded swamp
near Wenonah, fifteen miles from Cam
den, and In a pistol battle with a posse
of plucky farmers two of them were
shot and taken. The third man. badly
wdunded. got away, but waa captured
later. The trio robbed postofffees, Im
periled a sleeping family. Intimidated
several citizens, exchanged shots with
a game town marshal and traveled a
long distance behind a stolen team be
fore the aroused dwellers of the counr
tryslde drove them to cover In the
marshy woodland between the villages
of Wenonah and Sewall.
The first known stopping point of
the bandits waa the little town of Pe-
drtektown. , _
Going first to the livery stable .of J.
B. Gaventa the men forced a side door
took the fastest horses In the barn and
k. light wagon and -drove to- tho postof-
flee.
They got Into the postotflco thru
ijoi I 9|~
a front window. The .charge of nitro
glycerine tore the safe Into scrap
metal, wrecked the Interior and set
lire to the building. With 3160 in
stamps and money the yeggea fled, yell
ing derivlsely at the drowsy townspeo
ple who, awakened by the crash of the
explosion, were pouring out of their
houses half dressed.
The pursuers soon lost trace of the
three men In the flying wagon. But
two hours Inter news fame that the
trio had paid a coatly visit to the town
of Bridgeport, 8 miles away.
. It was about 1 o'clock when the tired
horses halted In front of the Springer
building, where the Bridgeport postof-
ffee Is located. The family of William
Brown occupied the living rooms on
the second floor.’ The charge of ex
plosive which the yegges set off In the
holes which they had bored In the post-
office safe was of sufficient strength
to fling the Browns from their beds
with stunning force.
Brown grabbed a revolver and ran
down stairs Into the wrecked postof
fice. He humped Into the muzzles of
three big revolvers. While the leader
held him helpless the other men tram
med 3200 In stampa and 359 Into a gun
ny sack. Then disarming Brown and
driving him back upstairs, the robbers
Jumped In the wagon and mode off In
the direction of Woodbury.
Brown used the telephone and noti
fied all points south as far as Phila
delphia. Later a farmer saw the yegge-
men staggering acrose a patch of plow
ed ground beyond Wenonah In the di
rection of Sewall. This farmer, having
already got the word over a party line
telephone, raised his neighbors. In a
few minutes forty armed men were

a hundred ahota were fired. Then the
fire from the yegges slackened. The
men made a forward rush. The yegges
were down on the ground. One of
them had been shot In a dozen places.
He was speechless and dying. The oth-
er was wounded twice, but not fatally.
The taller man hnd managed to get
away, althn bloodstains on the frozen
earth showed that he had been hit.
The third of the three yeggemen was
captured shortly before 10 o'clock. The
name of but one of the three has been
learned. This man. whose face was
riddled with buckshot, said his name
was William McCoy, aged 39. He said
he had no Home.
ST. PETERSBURG, March 7e-Gen-
eral Stoessel entered the fortress of St.
Peter and St. Paul today to commence
hla ten-year term of Imprisonment, aft.
er having been found guilty of unnec
essary surrendering Port Arthur during
the Russo-Japanese war.
Originally Stoessel waa condemned
to death with a recommendation that
thla sentence be commuted to ten years’
Imprisonment In a fortress. The fact
thnt General Stoessel surrendered him
self to the authorities today is taken to
mean that the recommendation of the
courtmartlal will not be acted upon by
Emperor Nicholas.
General Stoessel's health has been
very poor of late, and It Is probable he
will be transferred to a more healthful
part of the country. Doubt Is ex
pressed that the emperor will Interfere
with the sentence of the court, his
majesty expressing hla conviction that
Stoessel. In a large meaaure. was re
sponsible for Russia's humiliating sur
render to the Japanese.
During the trial of Stoessel It waa
proved that there was plenty of ammu
nition and food In the fort to prolong
the fight until the arrival of the Rus-
i fleet from the ensf. Witnesses
testified that Stoessel became down
hearted after the defeat of Kuropat-
kln's army at Liao Yang, and was only
prevented from surrendering Port Ar
thur nt the time by the urgent solici
tation of the citizens ns well as the
officers under his command.
