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. THAT PARLIAMENT* AIR GERMAN LETTER All London Is Gossipping 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.

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 Enters FortressSt. Peter and St. Paul Near St. Petersburg. CZAR NOT EXPECTED TO CHANGE SENTENCE General’s Health Is Bad and He May Be Trans ferred. Occasionally between tree trunks they got sight of the dodging, skulking S enes. One of them was practically ring carried along by the other two. His feet dragged In the soft mud and repeatedly he fell on his face. But for their grit In sticking by their wounded pal the other two might have escap Dos, ...,xens of shots were exchanged with out apparent damage on either side. Opposite the waterworks the posse, now backed up by several policemen, who had arrived from Woodbury, drove them from cover again. 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.
