LEAVING SCENE OF WAR
! Wife of Senator James Had Hard Time—Guggenheim Had
Five Thousand Dollars Cabled Him—Mob at St. Peters
burg Used Sledge Hammers on German Statues
New York.—Among the passengers
on the Olympic home Saturday was
Mrs. Ollle James, wife of the Ken
tucky senator. She was in Berlin the
day before war was declared and was
informed by Ambassador Gerard that
she might do well to leave the coun
try. Accordingly arrangements were
made for her party to go t<D St. Peters
burg by tail.
"Ambassador Gerard secured ac
commodations for us on the finest
train leaving Berlin for the Russian
frontier,” said Mrs. James. “We
thought we were well on our way
when the train suddenly pulled into
Copenhagen None of the passengers
had been Informed that the train had
been diverted. We never were told
why it had been done.
Waiting for Chance.
“T remained In Copenhagen four
day*, awaiting a chance to crosa to
London. Finally I managed with 21
other Americans to get aboard a smatl
freight steamer that drew but 12 feet
of water. But even with that light
draft the captain of the freighter was
afraid to proceed at more than a
snail's pace. He had been Informed
that mines had been strewn along the
gfrtart and through the English ehan
*nel. We managed to get through the
'mine field without mishap, but every
one aboard the ship was extremely;
nervous."
Senator James boarded the Olympic j
at quarantine from a revenue cutter.:

other passenger, was In Swltseriand

Nathan Hisemann of Boston fled
from Austria at the outbreak of the
war. While crossing from Ostend to
London, a French cruiser fired two
shots across the bow of the Belgian

wireless equipment. Then they in
formed the captain of the steamer that
he might proceed. When the Olympic

"Two days after the declaration of
war a mob, which mußt have num

the streets of St. Petersburg. They

building there are two huge iron
statues of llhlaqs. About a hundred
of the mob climbed up to the roof and
broke the statues to pieces with sledge
hammers.
"This was the sign for the whole
mob to get busy. They swarmed
through the building, smashing every
thing they could. On one of the floors
they found a Russian footman. He
had been stabbed three times and ap

an Interview he said: "Htranger things have happened than that we
should have an American pope, not perhaps In the first ballot or In the
second, but as a compromise. The gentle figure of our Cardinal Gibbons
commands the respect of the whole world. He Is aloof from all entangle
ment*. He is above all political suspicion. He would have the support
of the English speaking world—and the weight of American In the coun
cils of the church has never been higher.”

Large Number of Americans
Reach London Today---Ex

London, 1:50 a. m.—A large num
ber of Americans arrived in London
on the night boat and train from
Falkstone. Most of them are from
Munich. Baden-Baden and Frankfort,
via Dutch ports.
Most of the passengers complained
of extortion In Holland, where they
were compelled to pay $4 for the
privilege of sleeping for one night
on a cement floor. Landlords asked
as much as S2O for a hotel room with
running water while money changers
charged outrageous prices for ex
change or the cashing of money or
ders.
Waller H. Hutchins, of Washington,
was at innsbruch, Austria, when war
was declared He went Immediately
to Munich, where he remained three
weeks. He said:
"I wish to bear witness to the ex
treme kindness of the Bavarian au
thorities to Americans of whom at the
time there were 2,000 at Munich. All
hut 600 have now left and these pre
fer to stay.
"Munich In war times is as quiet as
Washington In peace.
"Among the Americans In Munich
were Mrs. Benjamin Harrison, who
left on the second special train with
Mrs. Phil Suerldan."
