Reasons Behind Suicide of Royal Austrian and
Slaying of Woman Not Given In Court
Friend’s Autobiography-
mm
By MARQUIS DE CASTELLANE.
Special Cable to The American.
PARIS, May 3.—The generous treat
ment accorded by the conquering King
Ferdinand, of Bulgaria, to the Turkish
Governor of Adrianople, Chukri
Pasha, has become the talk of the
salons* of Paris.
The Governor expected that Czar
Ferdinand would hitch the chief offi
cers to a chariot and make them thus
ignominiously carry the King in tri
umph through the streets of Adriano
ple. For this is what a Roman con*
querer would have done in the olden
time. And Czar Ferdinand is cred
ited with ambitions to restore at least
the Eastern Empire.
So far from hitching Chukri Pasha
to Ills carriage, King Ferdinand com
plimented him on his courage and the
bravery he had shown in the conduct
of the siege. It was not easy to com
pliment the Governor of Adrianople
in view of the fact that the last as
sault cost 12,000 Bulgarians and 1,500
Servians in killed and wounded.
And. when Chukri Pasha gravely
and silently surrendered his sword.
King Ferdinand handed it back. The
King's example buries the old cruel
System of yoking the conquered to a
chariot or effusing him as a chair to
mount a horse.
Our salons praise King Ferdinand.
Wo consider him as one of our own,
for he is descended from King Louis
XIV.
Manner of Serving Wine.
Again, the question has come up
concerning the manner of serving
one's guests with wine.
<*)ur modern water drinkers are less
obfervant of the,etiqitet6f‘ of th/wine-
gljss. How many glares should be
set* <>n the table l'or each guest? Or
dinarily three or four accompany each
cover or napkin. One is for the wine
generally, one for the Bordeaux wine,
one for the champagne, and frequent
ly a glass Is placed for Madeira.
Among the more distinguished per
sons of fashion of the foreign colonies
of Paris, the principle prevails of hav
ing it glass for each kind of wine. But
the French people frequently serve
two kindred wines one after another
in the same glass.
For instance, they will not have a
change of glass for white Burgundy
succeeding white Bordeaux, nor for
red Burgundy succeeding red Bor
deaux.
Rhiue wine is served in a cup-
formed glass standing on a high ped
estal of green or rose crystal. The)
cup glass has entirely driven out the)
former flutelike regulation cham
pagne glass. The long thin chain-1
pagne glas- is dethroned because it j
deceived. It did not hold enough.
Rodin's Glove a Trophy?
The most famous of living sculp
tors was a dinner guest the other
night of a well known Socialist Dep
ute. Rodin left soon after dinner in
company with M. Dujardln-Beaumetz.
the former Under-Secretary for Fine
Arts.
After he had gone the ladies no
ticed a glove lying on the floor and
R, ;de a concerted effort to seem-, it.
“One of the master's gloves," trium
phantly murmured the young gym
nast who secured it. and resumed her
seat with a smile of satisfaction.
A characteristic little dispute was
started at once by the other ladies as
to her right to the trophy, and soon
became interesting.
' Suddenly a man made his appear-
ante and announced: ‘M. Dujardin*
Bejliimetz will be glud to know if any
one found his glove.”
The bickering ceased as if by magic.
DUCHESS OF MARLBOROUGH
EMBARRASSED BY MOTHER
Special Cable to The American.
LONDON, May 3.—The Duchess of
Marlborough attended the Little Com
monwealth dinner at the Lyceum Club
given in furtherance of a scheme to
foupd a self-governing community in
England on the lines of the George
Junior Republic in America.
The Duchess, by the way, is extreme

her mother, Mrs. Belmont, on landing in
England, ns the Duchess has a well-
known hatred of this sort of publicity.
Special Cable to The American.
LONDON, May 3.—The Interna
tional News Service to-day learned
the details behind the libel action that
Sir Arthur Vicars, formerly Ulster
King-at-Arms, is bringing against a
weekly publication called “The Lon
don Mail,” which impugns Sir Arthur’s
personal honor in connection with the
disappearance of the Dublin crown
jewels.
Papers have just been filed in the
high court, in which Vicars promises
to reveal the true story and to name
those responsible for the disappear
ance of the jewels. A big scandal lies
behind the action, inasmuch as de
tails far worse than those revealed in
the Oscar Wilde trial are likely to be
aired, and a tremendous effort is be
ing made at the eleventh hour to hush j
the whole thing up. But Sir Arthur
is adamant, though he says that as a
result of his action he goes about in
fear of his life. He has applied to
Scotland Yard for protection.
Sir Arthur says lie has received let
ters signed by former well-know r n of
ficials at Dublin Castle, who are now
under a cloud, threatening bis life.
“You shall never go into a witness
box and tell your story,” says one
jjjfcy

veefives at Sir Arthur’s head. Scot
land Yard has in its possession these
letters, and the authorities have de
cided that the case calls for urgent
attention.
The Dublin crown jewels, valued at
$250,000, which are worn by the King,
were missed in the summer of 1907.
The police began a drastic investiga
tion, but dropped it within a week,
and it was explained that the jewels
had been located. It was reported
that the gems had been discovered In
a London pawn shop and that th ■
pawnbroker had been paid $90,000
after threatening to tell who pledged
them.
A secret official inquiry was con
ducted. which resulted in the dismis
sal of Vicars, who had been custodian
of the jewels. The conduct of others
came under suspicion, but ohe of tho
noblemen proved his innocence, and
the result of the ; investigation was
suppressed.

LONDON, May 3.—Many curious

murder of the King of Greece was
conveyed to King Alfonso, the latter
quietly remarked that he was not in

LONDON, May 3.—Princess Mary,
the King's only daughter, who bar
just turned sixteen, is exciting more
than tho usual"amount of court gos
sip because of her decided announce
ment that she wishes to learn type
writing and shorthand. She has long
nursed the ambition and hqs been hu
mored in it by hei father, the King.
| who on occasions dictates his private
j letters to her.
Princess Mary is rapidly becoming
a popular idol. She is one of the most
unaffected girls in the land. She is
pretty and charming, not quite so old
as her years. The whole tendency of
her education, which is controlled by
the Queen, has been to preserve her
youth. The Queen believes firmly in
home training for her daughter, so
the Princess has never been at school.
She can mend her brothers' socks,
bake* dainties for their tea. and, with
equal enthusiasm, she swims, rides,
drives, dances, cycles, golfs un i plays
kockevj
Princess Marv is a born horse
woman, and has been familiar with
the saddle from ner very early years
She frequently ride* with the King in
Rotten Row In the early morning.
Her great ambition during King
Edward's lifetime was to drive a
motor car. She begged her grand
father to allow her to drive one of hi.-;
in Windsor Forest.
“Certainly,” whs his smiling reply:
“only you must wait, a bit. until we
have time to clear the trees away.”
Princess Mary ls said to be the
most determined lady in the royal
household. Her Royal Highness, i
forming her own circle of triend.s
and her own manner of life.
The one point of dispute between
her and too Queen is her hair. Prin
cess Mary dislikes to have to failing
about. The Queen will not allow it
up. Now a compromise has been
made. Princess Mary usually ties it
back in a small thick plait doubled
up at the neck with a ribbon.
The King is ainu-ed at his daugh
ter’s strong will, which seems likely
to overrule even that of the Queen’s.

Assignment to Go on Trial Trip of
the Imperator Displeases
Crown Prince.
By FRITZ JACOBSOHN.
Special Cable to The American.
BERLIN, May 3.—The Kaiser is ex
tremely anxious that his future son-
in-law, Prince Ernest Augustus of
Uumberland, should not remain idle.
The Kaiser ® favorite motto is “Idle
ness is the mother of all mischief,”
and he wants his daughter’s husband
to keep out of all mischief.
He, therefore, has decided to give
Prince Ernest occupation, and on the
day of the marriage will hand him
titles as the Duke of Brunswick and
Grand Duke of Lounebourg.
The prime then will have a very re
sponsible job among the princes of
the German Empire, and will be con
sidered the equal in rank of the kings
of Saxony and of the Prince Regent
of Bavaria
Reign Over State.
He will have to reign over a new
State which the Kaiser Is now shap
ing out by the slmnle' process of turn
ing a considerable portion of the
Province of Hanover, which belongs
to Prussia, into the new German
Grand Duchy of Lounebourg.
Great dissatisfaction Is expressed
everywhere in Germany at the Kai
ser’s remodeling of the map of Ger
many, but the Emperor is absolute
master in these matters and will re
ceive no advice.
His daughter has asked him to cre
ate this new grand duchv for the sake
of her husband, and that is enough
for William 11.
Chagrin is said to be felt not alone
by the Hamburg-American line, but In
Government circles, over the acci
dents and minor defects which have
occurred in the steamship Imperator.
When the big liner stuck in the mud
of the Elbe on leaving the Vulcan
Shipbuilding Yards at Hamburg for
Cuxhaven, the Kaiser telegraphed his
regrets that he could not go on the
official trial trip to Gibraltar the fol
lowing Monday.
According to one Berlin paper, the
Empress, after this incident, did not
stop until she had persuaded the Kai
ser not to make the trip until the ves
sel had been tried out at sea.
Politics Prevented Trip.
Officially it was given out that the
political situation prevented the Kai
ser from go'ng. The latter delegated
the}Crown Prince to go in his place.
The Crown Prince, it is rumored, was
not overjoyed with the assignment,
not because he is superstitious, but
because of the com pan v. The Kaiser
had selected the members of the par
ty to go on the trip. The tastes at
father and son in regard to the frienos
do not run in the same lines.
The Crown Prince, it is said, would
rather select his own following. Nov
that the trip is put off two weeks, the
Grown Prince probably ^ill he 'Al
lowed to do so.

LONDON, May 3.—Countess Ma
rie von Larisch’s much heralded book,
My Past," offers but a very doubt
ful solution of the mystery of Mey*
erling. Her explanation is uncon
vincing.
It is that Crown
was concerned in a
throne of Hungary
miscarried and he 11141 **■•*•
himself but his mistress. Marie Vet
sera.
The Countess, a niece of Empress
Elizabeth, relates how some time be
fore the tragedy Rudolph handed
her a steel casket, directing her to
hide it and in case of his death to
give it to the person who demanded
it with the mystic formula “R. I.
V. O.” Within a few hours of the
Archduke's death the Countess re
ceived a summons to meet ”R. I.
V. O.’’ on the public promenade be
tween Schwarzenburg and the Hen-
grasse. The unknown was courte
ous and mysterious. The book gives
this account of the meeting.
” ‘I suppose you have no Idea who
1 am, Countess.’
“ ’None,’ I replied.
"He took off fils hat and stared me
full In the face. I started back In
astonishment.
“‘Imperial Highneaa!’ I ejaculated.
Archduke John of Tuscany.
“The stranger was Archduke John
of Tuscany. 1 had only met the Arch
duke occasionally in society, hut In
stantly recognized his extraordinary
eyes and interesting face ahd remem
bered the elor* friendship which ex
isted between him and the Crown)
Prince I had also heard that the j
Archduke was on bad terms with the
Emperer and there was likelihood of
his leaving Austria at no distant
date.
"I began to cry, It was all so un-
canny. The mysterious Archduke
took my band.
"‘I do not regret Rudolph,’ he
said. ‘If the Emperor had found
these papers matters would have been
mflnitelv worse. The Crown Prince
bus killed himself, but if the Em
peror had known all it would have
been ids duty to have had him tried
by military law and shot as a trai-
1 "•Oh, my God!’ I cried. ’What did
he do? Was he thinking of the crown
of Hungary?’
•••Do you think Rudolph’s plan mis
carried'.” I a>ked. ‘and that h< receiv
ed information to this effect while he
was at Meyerling?’
What Fear of Discovery Meant.
“The Archduke was silent. Then he
said:
•* ‘It may be,’ he answered eva
sively. ’But do you understand what
fear of discovery must have meant
to Rudolph, with his nervous consti
tution undermined by drugs and
brandy? Fear alone might have
made him commit suicide. It is «
pity he was m> weak. He broke his
cord to me and 1 trusted him. But
a bottle of brandy seems to have
turned him into a contemptible cow
ard. However, we must not stand
here anv longer There are police
spies all over Vienna. Ooodby.
Gountess Marie. You may never see
me again, but I shall always remem
ber what you have done for me.'
’ What Actually Happened.”
"What actually happened during
the time Marie and Rudolph were
alone, at Meyerling is entirely a mat
ter for conjecture. There is not the
slightest doubt that the Prince antic
ipated a crisis of some sort, and it
is unquestionable that he and Arch
duke John had planned a coup d’etat
together. Something transpired to
make Rudolph afraid of the conse
quences should his plans he discov
ered, and. rightly or wrongly, he mis-
culated the extent of his father’s dis
pleasure. He may have felt that
flight or return to Vienna was equally
impossible, and, rendered desperate
through fear inflamed by brandy,
made up his mind to kill himself.”
But the fatal defect of this expla
nation. which there is no means of
corroborating, is that no reason ap-
pe; rs for killing Marie Venera.
Aside from its unsatisfactory han
dling of the Meyerling mystery, the
book contains some .strikingly inter
esting passages about the Crown
Prince, with whom the Countess, of
course, was intimately acquainted, he
being her morganatic cousin, and she
the ward of his mother, Empress
Elizabeth.
The Countess's description of
Crown Princess Rudolph, now Coun
tess Lonyay, ;it. her wedding is cruel,
but It must be remembered that
Countess Larisch long ago quarrelled
with all her royal relatives and ac
quaintances. She writes:
"The Belgian Print ess looked her
worst in bridal attire Her arms
were red and her dull, yellow hair
was most unbecomingly dressed.
Stephanie was very tall, and her fig
ure in those days was most deplora
ble. But since then constant care
and clever corsetiere, have remedied
the defect. She had no eyebrows
or eyelashes. Her one beauty was
her exquisite biscuit cnina complex
ion.”
According to the Countess the
Grown Prince was an excessively un
pleasant young man.
“He was handsome, and for some
time r racked my brains to remember
what wild animal he recalled to me,
for he had a curious look, not alto
gether human. Then T knew Rudolph
reminded me of a wolf; his eyes
blazed green at times; he seemed al
most readv to spring.
“ ‘Why, Marie, 1 am always amused
when I see lovesick girls. Elizabeth
T languishes over me just as you
do with Elmer The silly goop*- thinks
I adore her, and so I can do anything
I like with her.'
" ‘Ydu are a bragging liar,’ I told
him.
“ *Oh! Am I? Well, look here, and
the Crown Prince- opened his letter
case and showed me a pho:ograph of
Elizabeth T , on the back of which
she had written a passionate declara
tion.
“'Give me that photograph.' I said.
‘It is not right that a cad like you
should possess It!'
“The eEmprees quite realized her
son’s uncertain temperament. We
both knew it would require a wom
en with exceptional tact to retain his
affection or even his tolerance.”
The Countess declares that the
stories of his mother’s devotion to
him are untrue: that they really cor
dially disliked each other.
“Sad to relate.” the book avers,
“mother and son disliked each other.
The Fmnresa used to say she w.i«
Rudolph’s mother by accident and all
that has been written about her great
affection for him Is quite untrue. My
aunt had no maternal love except for
Valerie. She thought her children
added to her age.
Marie Vetsera.
“Marie Vetsera was a young *6od-
looking woman who deliberately flung
herself at Rudolph's head and distin
guished herself bv grofs rudeness to
Prlncevs Stephanie. Neither she nor
her lover excites sympathy or ov< r-
murh interest and one does not gath
er th°re was any excessive genuine*
passion anyhow on his side.”
Yet the Countess admits that she
helped the lovers, and on the after
noon of January 28, two da vs before
the tragedy, nhe took the girl to the
HofbOrg in Vienna and made it pos
sible for her to meet her lover. To
gether they went to Meyerling and on
the morning of the 30th Rudolph was
found with a revolver in hand and
the ton of his head almost complete
ly shattered with Marie Vetsera dead
bv his side.
The Countess tells a terrible story
of the* indignity with which the body
of the unfortunate woman was
treated.
At first she refused to help RudoirTu
and the pcene In which she was per
suaded was highly melodramatic. She
describes it thin:
“ 'Never mind where I intend to
keep Marie. AH you have to do is
to go home at once.’
“‘Oh, vou coward, Rudolph! I
won’t. I’ll go direct to the Empress ’
“ ‘You canont pass through locked
doors.’
“I rushed to the window, tried to
throw it open and shouted for help.
The Prince violently put his hand over
mv mouth and dragged m» bark.
“'Do you want me to hurt you?’ he
asked with dreadful meaning in his
voice.
"Nothing But a Devil.”
“ *1 can be brave when I have to
face devil*' like you!’ I cried, ‘for you
are nothing but a devil! You brought
me here under a solemn promise to
deal with me In an honorable way.
You do not know the meaning of the
word. Yes, I repeat it. you do not
know r the meaning of honor.’
"The Crown Prince glanced at me
with mingled cruelty and cynicism.
“•Since when, mnv I ask, Marie,
have you been considered fit to play
the ^alnt? You are a tine one to talk
of honor or loyalty! You have been
a go-between for my mother since
you were a girl, and yet you dare to
mention morality to me when you
have not a scruple to stand b> and
t<e my father deceived!’
“ *It is a monstrous lie. I’ll not lis
ten. You shall not traduce your moth
er T love her.'
•Then I burst into tears, whereupon
Rudolph said very quietly:
“Marie, do you really love mamma?
Well, If you do, save her from the
shame, which scandal will cause her.
1 stand on the edge of a precipice.
Why should you grudge me a little
happiness?’ ”
Deposed Prime Minister To Be
Called to Helm—New Agree
ment With U. S. Expected.
AMERICA IN JAPAN’S PLACE
Plan Means a Halt to the Perse
cution of the Jews and Liberal
Internal Laws.
Special Cable to The American.
ST. PETERSBURG, May 3.—An
outstanding feature of Easter honors
in Russia is the restoration of Count...
Witte to the Czar’s favor. It is just
seven years ago since Witte was cast
into deep disgrace because of the re
sults of the elections for the first
Russian Duma, which took place
while he was Prime Minister and pro
duced a revolutionary Assembly.
There is again a complete dead
look between the Duma and the gov
erning bureaucracy. It lias been six
months since the Duma session be
gan and the Government has not ven
tured so far as to put any legisla
tive program before it.
A stronger man than the present
Prime Minister. Kokovtzff, is needed,
and it is recognized that the Czar is
turning again to Count Witte.
Desires New Treaty.
Should Witte be put in cqntrol it
must have an immediate effect on the
Russo-American policy. He desires a
new treaty and also an understanding
for substituting cooperation with the
United States to the present partner
ship with Japan in the Far East.
Of course, his return would mean
putting a halt to the Jewish perse
cution which has been pressed on as
remorselessly as ever during the Pass-
over. The entire Jewish congrega
tions in the province of Volhynia
were driven from their settlements
while they were actually at prayer,
because the Governor of the province
decided they had wandered outside
the pale of the settlements.
At the wish of the Holy Synod the
Russian Government will pay, begin
ning next year, an appropriation of
8,000 rubles per annum toward the
maintenance of an emigration house
for orthodox Russians in New York.

JUST A SONG
AT TWlLlfillT
Little more than a
song will take a fine
used piano now.
T he people gener
ally are waking up
to the possibilities of
the Player Piano.
Our warerooms are
crowded with very
fine upright pianos
taken in exchange
on Player Pianos,
and they are com
ing in every day.
Everybody seems to
want • a Player.
Should you care for
a good used piano,
you can have one
at your own price
and terms.
