New York, Sunday.—In Washington,
as well as in Mexico City, there is a
widely-circulated rumor that President
Huerta will resign very shortly and that
possibly Senor Jose Portillo y Rogas, the
present Minister of Foreign Affairs, will
be provisional President.
Decisive developments, one hears, are
expected within the next two weeks, and
as a preliminary President Huerta will
retire “temporarily” to lead the cam
paign against the revolutionary forces
in Northern Mexico.
In the ordinary way little attention
would be attracted here by “rumors”
from Washington or -Mexico City, but
in the present case the rumors are iden
tical in substance and indirectly sup
ported by news despatches from inde
pendent sources.—Daily Telegraph.
United States Intercedes.
Washington, Sunday.—Mr. Bryan has
directed the American Consular Agent
at Chihuahua to intercede with General
Carranza on behalf of General Terrazas,
whose son is to be executed, it has been
stated, unless a ransom of $250,000 is
paid, saying that American sympathy
and tolerance would be alienated if the
threatened execution were to take place.
Acting on representations by Sir Cecil
Spring-Rice, the State Department has
requested Mr. Fletcher, United States
Consul at Chihuahua, to investigate the
case of an Englishman, named Syridan,
who has been driven off his ranch in the
State of Chihuahua, and whose property
is in danger of destruction.—Reuter.
For Protection of Americans.
Vera Cruz, Sunday.-— A thousand
rifles and a large quantity of ammuni
tion have arrived from the United States.
Two hundred and fifty rifles have been
sent to the capital to arm Americans
there in the event of an uprising. The
others have been sent on board the flag
ship for disposal at the discretion of
Rear-Admiral Fletcher. The despatch
of the rifles to the capital had the con
currence of the Mexican Government.—

Battle of Torreon Not Yet Begun.
Telegrams from Mexico announced
some days ago that a battle was in pro
gress between the forces of General
Huerta and the revolutionaries. In reply
to a telegram from the “Matin,” asking
for details of this engagement, General
Carranza cabled yesterday from Agua-
prielas : “The battle of Torreon has not
yet begun.”

MASS MEETING IN NEW YORK
THREATENS TO MAKE RAIDS.
Industrial Workers of the World Say
State Must House and Feed
Unemployed.
New York, Sunday.—Enraged by the
arrest of 191 of their comrades, who
raided the church of St. Alphonsus on
Wednesday night, the Industrial Work
ers of the World organized a huge mass
meeting at Rutgers square yesterday
and deliberately courted arrest by the
violence of their language. The police
discreetly took no notice while speakers
indulged in the vilest denunciations of
Mayor Mitchel and the Vanderbilt,
Astor and Morgan families, and the
leaders announced that raids on
churches, restaurants and hotels would
be continued until all the unemployed
had been housed and fed by the State.
The leaders are endeavoring to organ
ize protest marches to New York from all
parts of the country, and yesterday at
Sacramento, Cal., the State troops had
to be called out to control an army of
2,000 unemployed, who formed for a
march to Washington.
Another contingent of 1,000 formed at
St. Louis to join in the march to New
York, and it would appear that there
is to be a repetition of the unemployed
marches organized some time ago by
“General” Coxey.—Daily News and

Increased Demand for Labor.
New York, Saturday. —.The weekly

labor is in better call and industrial
operations are more active. In numei-
ous occupations idleness is of negligible
proportions.—Standard.
BEGGAR’S HUMP YIELDS HOARD.
New York, Sunday.—William Kahler,
aged seventy, who for twenty years has
been a well-known hunchback beggar m
San Francisco, was arrested last night
as an act of pity bv a constable who
wanted to ensure for him a comfortable
bed for the night.
When Kahler was searched as a mat
ter of routine, his hump was found to
be surprisingly hard, and an investiga
tion revealed it was not a natural de
formity, but a tin box packed with gold
and banknotes. . , . ,
Various false pockets m Aahler s rag
ged clothing were emptied and addi
tional money was discovered, the total
being $11,000. Three bank books show
ing deposits for $20,000 were also found
Kahler passed his life eating food
which he found in garbage tins, and

Madrid, Sunday.—The elections of
Deputies for the Cortes began at eight
o’clock this morning throughout Spain.
In Madrid voting is proceeding quietly
and there is very little excitement
around any of the polling booths.
The Government, it is stated, has
made great efforts up to the last to en
sure a victory, but the supporters of
Senor Maura have also conducted a very
active campaign.
According to news from the provinces
received by the Minister of the Interior
and communicated by him to the press,
as soon as the polling closed at eight
o’clock, it appears that the Government
candidates are elected in a majority of
the constituencies. Figures, however,
were not available at that hour.
Senor Dato, the Premier, is elected at
Vittoria, but he was defeated in another
constituency where he was also a candi
date.
While Conde de San-Martin, brother
of Duque de Santo-Mauro, was touring
the constituency in his automobile, he
met with an accident near La Freguas,
which proved fatal. The chauffeur was
seriously injured.
Some election disturbances are re
ported from various districts. Several
people were wounded in a riot at Cas-
tillon-de-La-Plana. Several persons were
injured at Orihuela (Alicante), when a
disorderly crowd broke into a polling
station.
One man was killed and several were
wounded in election riots at Seo-de-
Urgel, near Andorra. Many arrests were
made at Torrevieja, where grave dis
turbances occurred.
At Orense a man in the crowd fired a
revolver at the Opposition candidate,
but missed him.
Later reports indicate that Conde
Romanones will lead the strongest Op
position party, numbering about 80 De
puties. Senor Maura’s supporters are
the next most important group, and
then come the Democrats. The Reform
ists obtain about 12 seats. The Repub
licans, who numbered 38 in the last
Chamber, have sustained heavy losses
and will not have more than 20 in the
new. The entire Republican ticket,
however, was elected in Barcelona.

leader, three Republicans and three
Monarchists were elected in Madrid. —

Signor Giolitti, the Premier, Will
Make Statement To-morrow.
Rome, Sunday.—It is stated that the
resignation of the Ministry will be an
nounced in the Chamber on Tuesday.
Signor Giolitti, the Premier, is said to
have placed his resignation in the hands
of the King this morning, but the news
is not officially confirmed.
The political crisis has arisen in con
sequence of the decision of the Radicals
to withdraw their support from the Gov
ernment now that the expenditure for
the expedition in Tripoli has been voted.
As soon as this resolution was passed at
a meeting of the party the Radical mem
bers-of the Cabinet at once agreed to
resign.
Signor Salandra is generally regarded
as Signor 'Giolitti’s probable successor.
The new Premier will endeavor to ob
tain a working majority in the Cham
ber as at present constituted. The va
rious parties comprise 280 Liberals, 25
Catholics, 35 Constitutional Democrats,
70 Radicals, 80 Socialists and 16 Re
publicans.

King’s Influence on Political Life.
The general elections in Spain yestei - -
day presented features of unusual inter
est owing to the dissensions that have
occurred in the two great Conservative
and Liberal parties, as well as in minor
political groups during the past few
years. These changes in policies and
tendencies are undoubtedly due in the
main to the direct personal influence of
King Alfonso, who has of late given dis
tinct encouragement to liberal ideas.
The Conservatives are at present in
power with Senor Dato as Premier, but a
large section of the party accuse him of
treason for having accepted office, after
Senor Maura refused .when the King de
clined to bow to his demands.
Notwithstanding this split in the
party, Senor Dato has made a great bid
for a new lease of power by making a
pact with his predecessor, Conde Ro
manones, who is still the leader of the
majority of the also divided Liberal
party. By this agreement Conservative
and Liberal candidates formed a
Monarchist Bloc in opposition to the
Republican candidates.
The dissentient Liberals, a much
smaller group, have rallied around Senor
Garcia Prieto, and style themselves the
Democratic Liberals. They are excluded
from the Monarchist Bloc and standing
alone have comparatively little influence.
The Republicans have been greatly
weakened by the defection of the Re
formers, who have constituted a new
party under Senor Alvarez, the cele
brated orator. The Reformists have
been weaned from their position as lead
ers of the united Republican forces in
the Cortes by the direct influence of
Don Alfonso. But they have not yet
had time to impress their programme on
the country.
The Socialists under Senor Pablo
Iglesias still maintain their alliance with
the Republicans and both are very bitter
against the Reformers.
With such a chaotic situation in the
present condition of political parties, it
is probable that when yesterday’s full
results come to hand they will show that
Senor Dato has strengthened the Gov-

TBY THE HERALD’S SPECIAL WIRE.]
London, Monday. — The chronicle of
the doings of the “Crown Prince of
Wiirttemberg” and “Lord Stanton
Hope,” who on Sunday week succeeded
in hoaxing Mr. Grahame-White and a
number of prominent society people at
Hendon, is it appears far from com
plete. After their appearance at the
fij’ing meeting numerous invitations to
luncheons, receptions, dinners, dances,
etc., were, the “Standard” says, shower
ed upon them during the week.
The best invitations were selected,
“Lord Stanton Hope” as a rule choos
ing for his “Royal Master” where to go
and what to do. Their circle of ac
quaintances extended rapidly day after
day, the audacity of the pair in allowing
themselves to be photographed at Hen
don for the pictorial papers having in
spired confidence among the society
people, -who were so ruthlessly duped.
On Friday^ afternoon the “Crown
Prince of Wiirttemberg” and “Lord
Stanton Hope” were the principal guests
at a tea party in Mayfair and were sur
rounded by peeresses and other repre
sentatives of fashionable society in Lon
don.
“A Brilliant Affair.”
“It was a very brilliant affair,” said
one who was present, “and the ’Crown
Prince’ and ‘Lord Stanton Hope’ ac
cepted the lionizing in the most gracious
and charming manner.”
In some instances the titled women,
whose acquaintance “Lord Stanton
Hope” had made, were surprised that
he rang them up repeatedly on the tele
phone, asking for appointments and in
vitations to call, and they thought him
remarkably persistent in pressing his
attentions upon them.
By this time their suspicions were
aroused, and it was their subsequent
inquiries which revealed that there was
no such person as the “Crown Prince
of Wiirttemberg” and nobody in Debrett
of the name of “Lord Stanton Hope.”
On the whole the two practical jokers
played their parts well, except that
“Lord Stanton Hope” seems to have
been somewhat voluble in talking about
himself and his wealth.
One of his statements was that twelve
months ago he was living on only £600
per annum, but now he had an income
of £250,000 a J r ear, and that he gave
his mother, who had an enormous place
in Scotland to keep up, £20,000 a year,
a remarkable admission in view of the
fact that when lie took the wife of a
well-known politician home in an auto
cab he was obliged to ask her to pay the
fare, and on another occasion after
dinner at a restaurant on the bill being
presented he made a similar excuse and
requested one of his guests to provide
the necessary amount.
One or two of the husbands and
brothers of the women who were hoaxed
have expressed their intention of get
ting even with the offenders by admi
nistering a sound thrashing.
TARIFF REBATES ARE
AGAIN IN 0UESTION
General Appraisers Think Reduction
Should Be Granted on Goods in
American Ships.
OPPOSE ATTORNEY - GENERAL.
President May Have to Ask for Re
peal of Clause Obnoxious to
Foreign Nations.
New York, Sunday.—According to the
decision of the United States Board of
General Appraisers, the clause in the
new tariff law granting a 5 per cent,
reduction on all goods shipped in Ameri
can vessels should be enforced.
This decision is in flat contradiction
with the views of the United States
Attorney-General, upon whose advice
the proposed rebate was suspended. The
Attorney-General took the ground that
such a reduction was in direct violation
of treaties with foreign nations, and
said, moreover, that the clause was un
workable because it provided that the
rebate should not be allowed in cases
where such allowance would violate the
treaty rights of other nations. This
modus vivendi, however, has been rudely
shattered by the Board of General Ap
praisers.
It is believed now that the ship sub
sidy advocates will so agitate the ques
tion that President Wilson will be
obliged to ask Congress to repeal the
provision, against the enforcement of
which Great Britain, Germany, France
and other nations have protested as
violating existing treaties.—Daily Tele

SANTI QUARANTA BLOCKADE
DISTURBS AUSTRIA-HUNGARY.
Press Interprets Hellenic Action as
Proof of Failure of Attempted
Compromise.
Vienna, Sunday. — The news of the
blockade of Santi Quaranta has sur
prised public opinion here. Most of the
newspapers believe that Greece desires to
give an irrefutable proof of her good
faith by combating the Epirote move
ment. Some newspapers show anxiety
about this measure, which allows it to
be supposed that the compromise at
tempted by the Greeks has utterly failed.
The “Zeit” does not believe that the
Powers will recognize the blockade,
which is harmful to international in
terests and cannot be justified legally.
If the blockade is necessary, it is the
duty of the Powers and not of Greece
to proclaim it.—Figaro.
Turkhan Pasha as Albanian Premier.
London, Saturday. — It is announced

accepted the post of Prime Minister of

tists with confidence. His acceptance of
the post of Premier of Albania is gene
rally regarded as favorable for the fu
ture of Albania.—Figaro.
GERMANY AND SOUTH AMERICA.
Berlin, Sunday.—“After all, I am a
German, and my cradle was in Ger
many,” said the Kaiser’s brother, Prince
Henry, when discussing his forthcoming
visit to South American ports at the
Asiatic Society’s dinner last night. He
denied emphatically that the voyage was
originally intended to have a political
complexion.
“I saw the new vessel Cape Trafalgar,
of the Hamburg-South American Line,
and the idea struck me that I might
take a trip on her with my wife, so I
asked our sovereign lord for leave of
absence, which his Majesty granted. If
during my journey I bind still closer
the excellent relations between Germany
and the South American republics, that
is a matter of course.”—Daily News and

SUFFRAGETTES ATTACK
POLICE WITH STICKS.
Arrest of Miss Sylvia Pankhurst Leads
Sympathizers to March on
Downing Street.
[BY THE HERALD’S SPECIAL WIRE.]
London, Monday.—Miss Sylvia Pank-
hurst, who had been hiding from the
police in her Bow lodgings, was arrested
by the police yesterday afternoon when
she was about to join a demonstration of
Suffragettes in Trafalgar square. She
was seized by detectives and hustled into
a cab.
So quickly was the arrest carried out
that Miss Pankhurst was being hurried
off to Holloway Prison before most of her
followers realized what had happened.
Miss Patterson, who had charge of the
meeting, declared that they would go to
Downing Street to protest. Headed by
a Suffragette flag, they marched away
toward Whitehall, but came into conflict
with the mounted police.
When the police attempted to break
up the procession, some wild scenes were
witnessed. The militants, some of whom
were armed with sticks, attacked the
police. Miss Patterson was the first to
he arrested, and a man who attempted
to defend her fell in the struggle. A con
stable who took part in the arrest was
badly hurt.
The mounted officers soon broke up the
procession, and altogether eight arrests
were made.

near Brussels, where the unfortunate
Empress Charlotte, the widow of the
Emperor Maximilian of Mexico, resides,
a poacher was shot this morning. The
man, whose name is Jacobs, is the ser
vant of the secretary of the Commune
of Meysse and, with two other poachers,
was trespassing upon the estate. The
men had taken some hares and rabbits
when they were surprised by three of
the Empress’ gamekeepers, who at
tempted to arrest them. A struggle
took place, in which Jacobs received two
gunshots, while his accomplices succeed
ed in escaping. Jacobs, who was sev
erely injured, was taken to the hospital
in a desperate condition in a cart drawn,
by dogs.
The Empress, whose mind gave way
when her husband was executed, and
who has never recovered, knows no more
of this drama on the estate than she
does of the new political storm which ia
disturbing Mexico.
GANG OF YOUNG APACHES
ATTACKS WOMEN’S REFUGE,;
Armed Gang Fires Upon Institution ia
Paris Suburb, Enabling Three In
mates to Escape.
The growing menace of the revolver,
in France is illustrated afresh by an
amazing outrage, perpetrated by a band
of armed youths at Bouiogne-sur-Seine,
a suburb of Paris, full details of which
have just been disclosed upon the ar
rest of a number of the young apaches
concerned.
It appears that on Friday night fif
teen young men, all members of a well-
organized criminal association known as
the “Band of the Five Points,” opened
up a desperate fusillade upon the refuge
for women liberated from Saint-Lazare
prison, in the boulevard de Strasbourg,
Boulogne-sur-Seine, and thus enabled
three of the inmates to escape.
The gang assembled outside the re
fuge, says the “Matin,” about seven
o’clock, when a young fellow, who ap
peared to he the leader of the company,
rapidly inspected his men and cried:
“Are you ready?” and a moment later:
“Open fire.”
Revolvers of all kinds and calibres were
instantly drawn, and a volley of scat
tered shots shattered the silence of ths
evening. For several seconds the ban
dits fired a positive hail of bullets,
smashing the windows of the refuge to
pieces and creating the wildest conster
nation among the terrified inmates.
Taking advantage of the general
panic, three of the girls managed to
escape from the institution into the
street. Of these, two, Berthe Faget,
aged fifteen, and Pauline Rouleau, aged
eighteen, went back to their families in
Paris, but the third, Suzanne Bourdon,
who apparently instigated the entire
plot, joined the band of apaches and
fled with them.
Suzanne Bourdon appears to have
paid a terrible price for her escape,
however, for when arrested later by the
police of Boulogne-sur-Seine she con
fessed that she had been taken outside
the fortifications of Paris and there,
near the Porte d’Auteuil, she had been
brutally used by her erstwhile accom
plices. These she then denounced by
name.
With the information thus obtained
the police at once set to work to hunt
down the members of this notorious
hand, with the result that seven arrests
have already been made. These were
not accomplished without great difficulty
however, desperate struggles occurring
in some cases and revolver shots being
exchanged in others.
The names of the seven apaches ar
rested are: Marcel Leblond, Henry Le-
clerc, Gaston Chapuis, Andre Munier
and Albert Aurosseau, all aged nine
teen ; Edouard Dommergue, aged seven
teen, and Lucien Poitreneau, aged eigh
teen. All seven had five black dots
tatooed between the thumb and index
finger of the right hand, this being the
badge of membership for the “Band of
the Five Points.”
Other arrests are believed to be im
minent.
CHERBOURG “SPY” CASE.
As a result of the investigation of the
life of Eva Homelter, the young Ger
man governess who was recently ar
rested at Cherbourg on a charge of
espionage, it would appear that she was
on friendly terms with a number of
naval officers and petty officers, parti
cularly with those serving in submarines.
She several times expressed a desire to
obtain a situation in a naval officer’s
family at Calais, and obtained many
addresses and introductions in that
town. She is also alleged to have made
friends with several petty officers of the
British squadron which recently visited
Cherbourg, whom she asked to find her
a situation at Dover. It has not yet
been discovered whether Homelter was
actually able to obtain any information
of value to a foreign Power.

New York, Sunday.—In Washington,
as well as in Mexico City, there is a
widely-circulated rumor that President
Huerta will resign very shortly and that
possibly Senor Jose Portillo y Rogas, the
present Minister of Foreign Affairs, will
be provisional President.
Decisive developments, one hears, are
expected within the next two weeks, and
as a preliminary President Huerta will
retire “temporarily” to lead the cam
paign against the revolutionary forces
in Northern Mexico.
In the ordinary way little attention
would be attracted here by “rumors”
from Washington or -Mexico City, but
in the present case the rumors are iden
tical in substance and indirectly sup
ported by news despatches from inde
pendent sources.—Daily Telegraph.
United States Intercedes.
Washington, Sunday.—Mr. Bryan has
directed the American Consular Agent
at Chihuahua to intercede with General
Carranza on behalf of General Terrazas,
whose son is to be executed, it has been
stated, unless a ransom of $250,000 is
paid, saying that American sympathy
and tolerance would be alienated if the
threatened execution were to take place.
Acting on representations by Sir Cecil
Spring-Rice, the State Department has
requested Mr. Fletcher, United States
Consul at Chihuahua, to investigate the
case of an Englishman, named Syridan,
who has been driven off his ranch in the
State of Chihuahua, and whose property
is in danger of destruction.—Reuter.

MASS MEETING IN NEW YORK
THREATENS TO MAKE RAIDS.
Industrial Workers of the World Say
State Must House and Feed
Unemployed.
New York, Sunday.—Enraged by the
arrest of 191 of their comrades, who
raided the church of St. Alphonsus on
Wednesday night, the Industrial Work
ers of the World organized a huge mass
meeting at Rutgers square yesterday
and deliberately courted arrest by the
violence of their language. The police
discreetly took no notice while speakers
indulged in the vilest denunciations of
Mayor Mitchel and the Vanderbilt,
Astor and Morgan families, and the
leaders announced that raids on
churches, restaurants and hotels would
be continued until all the unemployed
had been housed and fed by the State.
The leaders are endeavoring to organ
ize protest marches to New York from all
parts of the country, and yesterday at
Sacramento, Cal., the State troops had
to be called out to control an army of
2,000 unemployed, who formed for a
march to Washington.
Another contingent of 1,000 formed at
St. Louis to join in the march to New
York, and it would appear that there
is to be a repetition of the unemployed
marches organized some time ago by
“General” Coxey.—Daily News and

Madrid, Sunday.—The elections of
Deputies for the Cortes began at eight
o’clock this morning throughout Spain.
In Madrid voting is proceeding quietly
and there is very little excitement
around any of the polling booths.
The Government, it is stated, has
made great efforts up to the last to en
sure a victory, but the supporters of
Senor Maura have also conducted a very
active campaign.
According to news from the provinces
received by the Minister of the Interior
and communicated by him to the press,
as soon as the polling closed at eight
o’clock, it appears that the Government
candidates are elected in a majority of
the constituencies. Figures, however,
were not available at that hour.
Senor Dato, the Premier, is elected at
Vittoria, but he was defeated in another
constituency where he was also a candi
date.
While Conde de San-Martin, brother
of Duque de Santo-Mauro, was touring
the constituency in his automobile, he
met with an accident near La Freguas,
which proved fatal. The chauffeur was
seriously injured.
Some election disturbances are re
ported from various districts. Several
people were wounded in a riot at Cas-
tillon-de-La-Plana. Several persons were
injured at Orihuela (Alicante), when a
disorderly crowd broke into a polling
station.
One man was killed and several were
wounded in election riots at Seo-de-
Urgel, near Andorra. Many arrests were
made at Torrevieja, where grave dis
turbances occurred.
At Orense a man in the crowd fired a
revolver at the Opposition candidate,
but missed him.
Later reports indicate that Conde
Romanones will lead the strongest Op
position party, numbering about 80 De
puties. Senor Maura’s supporters are
the next most important group, and
then come the Democrats. The Reform
ists obtain about 12 seats. The Repub
licans, who numbered 38 in the last
Chamber, have sustained heavy losses
and will not have more than 20 in the
new. The entire Republican ticket,
however, was elected in Barcelona.

Signor Giolitti, the Premier, is said to
have placed his resignation in the hands
of the King this morning, but the news
is not officially confirmed.
The political crisis has arisen in con
sequence of the decision of the Radicals
to withdraw their support from the Gov
ernment now that the expenditure for

bers-of the Cabinet at once agreed to

70 Radicals, 80 Socialists and 16 Re

King’s Influence on Political Life.
The general elections in Spain yestei - -
day presented features of unusual inter
est owing to the dissensions that have
occurred in the two great Conservative
and Liberal parties, as well as in minor
political groups during the past few
years. These changes in policies and
tendencies are undoubtedly due in the
main to the direct personal influence of
King Alfonso, who has of late given dis
tinct encouragement to liberal ideas.
The Conservatives are at present in
power with Senor Dato as Premier, but a
large section of the party accuse him of
treason for having accepted office, after
Senor Maura refused .when the King de
clined to bow to his demands.
Notwithstanding this split in the
party, Senor Dato has made a great bid
for a new lease of power by making a
pact with his predecessor, Conde Ro
manones, who is still the leader of the
majority of the also divided Liberal
party. By this agreement Conservative
and Liberal candidates formed a
Monarchist Bloc in opposition to the
Republican candidates.
The dissentient Liberals, a much
smaller group, have rallied around Senor
Garcia Prieto, and style themselves the
Democratic Liberals. They are excluded
from the Monarchist Bloc and standing
alone have comparatively little influence.
The Republicans have been greatly
weakened by the defection of the Re
formers, who have constituted a new
party under Senor Alvarez, the cele
brated orator. The Reformists have
been weaned from their position as lead
ers of the united Republican forces in
the Cortes by the direct influence of
Don Alfonso. But they have not yet
had time to impress their programme on
the country.
The Socialists under Senor Pablo
Iglesias still maintain their alliance with
the Republicans and both are very bitter
against the Reformers.
With such a chaotic situation in the
present condition of political parties, it
is probable that when yesterday’s full
results come to hand they will show that
Senor Dato has strengthened the Gov-

London, Monday. — The chronicle of
the doings of the “Crown Prince of
Wiirttemberg” and “Lord Stanton
Hope,” who on Sunday week succeeded
in hoaxing Mr. Grahame-White and a
number of prominent society people at
Hendon, is it appears far from com
plete. After their appearance at the
fij’ing meeting numerous invitations to
luncheons, receptions, dinners, dances,
etc., were, the “Standard” says, shower
ed upon them during the week.
The best invitations were selected,
“Lord Stanton Hope” as a rule choos
ing for his “Royal Master” where to go
and what to do. Their circle of ac
quaintances extended rapidly day after
day, the audacity of the pair in allowing
themselves to be photographed at Hen
don for the pictorial papers having in
spired confidence among the society
people, -who were so ruthlessly duped.
On Friday^ afternoon the “Crown
Prince of Wiirttemberg” and “Lord
Stanton Hope” were the principal guests
at a tea party in Mayfair and were sur
rounded by peeresses and other repre
sentatives of fashionable society in Lon
don.
“A Brilliant Affair.”
“It was a very brilliant affair,” said
one who was present, “and the ’Crown
Prince’ and ‘Lord Stanton Hope’ ac
cepted the lionizing in the most gracious
and charming manner.”
In some instances the titled women,
whose acquaintance “Lord Stanton
Hope” had made, were surprised that
he rang them up repeatedly on the tele
phone, asking for appointments and in
vitations to call, and they thought him
remarkably persistent in pressing his
attentions upon them.
By this time their suspicions were
aroused, and it was their subsequent
inquiries which revealed that there was
no such person as the “Crown Prince
of Wiirttemberg” and nobody in Debrett
of the name of “Lord Stanton Hope.”
On the whole the two practical jokers
played their parts well, except that
“Lord Stanton Hope” seems to have
been somewhat voluble in talking about
himself and his wealth.
One of his statements was that twelve
months ago he was living on only £600
per annum, but now he had an income
of £250,000 a J r ear, and that he gave
his mother, who had an enormous place
in Scotland to keep up, £20,000 a year,
a remarkable admission in view of the
fact that when lie took the wife of a
well-known politician home in an auto
cab he was obliged to ask her to pay the
fare, and on another occasion after
dinner at a restaurant on the bill being
presented he made a similar excuse and
requested one of his guests to provide
the necessary amount.
One or two of the husbands and
brothers of the women who were hoaxed
have expressed their intention of get
ting even with the offenders by admi
nistering a sound thrashing.
TARIFF REBATES ARE
AGAIN IN 0UESTION
General Appraisers Think Reduction
Should Be Granted on Goods in
American Ships.
OPPOSE ATTORNEY - GENERAL.
President May Have to Ask for Re
peal of Clause Obnoxious to
Foreign Nations.
New York, Sunday.—According to the
decision of the United States Board of
General Appraisers, the clause in the
new tariff law granting a 5 per cent,
reduction on all goods shipped in Ameri
can vessels should be enforced.
This decision is in flat contradiction
with the views of the United States
Attorney-General, upon whose advice
the proposed rebate was suspended. The
Attorney-General took the ground that
such a reduction was in direct violation
of treaties with foreign nations, and
said, moreover, that the clause was un
workable because it provided that the
rebate should not be allowed in cases
where such allowance would violate the
treaty rights of other nations. This
modus vivendi, however, has been rudely
shattered by the Board of General Ap
praisers.
It is believed now that the ship sub
sidy advocates will so agitate the ques
tion that President Wilson will be
obliged to ask Congress to repeal the
provision, against the enforcement of
which Great Britain, Germany, France
and other nations have protested as
violating existing treaties.—Daily Tele

blockade of Santi Quaranta has sur
prised public opinion here. Most of the
newspapers believe that Greece desires to
give an irrefutable proof of her good
faith by combating the Epirote move
ment. Some newspapers show anxiety
about this measure, which allows it to
be supposed that the compromise at
tempted by the Greeks has utterly failed.
The “Zeit” does not believe that the
Powers will recognize the blockade,
which is harmful to international in
terests and cannot be justified legally.
If the blockade is necessary, it is the
duty of the Powers and not of Greece
to proclaim it.—Figaro.

GERMANY AND SOUTH AMERICA.
Berlin, Sunday.—“After all, I am a
German, and my cradle was in Ger
many,” said the Kaiser’s brother, Prince
Henry, when discussing his forthcoming
visit to South American ports at the
Asiatic Society’s dinner last night. He
denied emphatically that the voyage was
originally intended to have a political
complexion.
“I saw the new vessel Cape Trafalgar,
of the Hamburg-South American Line,
and the idea struck me that I might
take a trip on her with my wife, so I
asked our sovereign lord for leave of
absence, which his Majesty granted. If
during my journey I bind still closer
the excellent relations between Germany
and the South American republics, that
is a matter of course.”—Daily News and
Leader.
SUFFRAGETTES ATTACK
POLICE WITH STICKS.
Arrest of Miss Sylvia Pankhurst Leads
Sympathizers to March on
Downing Street.
[BY THE HERALD’S SPECIAL WIRE.]
London, Monday.—Miss Sylvia Pank-
hurst, who had been hiding from the
police in her Bow lodgings, was arrested
by the police yesterday afternoon when
she was about to join a demonstration of
Suffragettes in Trafalgar square. She
was seized by detectives and hustled into
a cab.
So quickly was the arrest carried out
that Miss Pankhurst was being hurried
off to Holloway Prison before most of her
followers realized what had happened.
Miss Patterson, who had charge of the
meeting, declared that they would go to
Downing Street to protest. Headed by
a Suffragette flag, they marched away
toward Whitehall, but came into conflict
with the mounted police.
When the police attempted to break
up the procession, some wild scenes were
witnessed. The militants, some of whom
were armed with sticks, attacked the
police. Miss Patterson was the first to
he arrested, and a man who attempted
to defend her fell in the struggle. A con
stable who took part in the arrest was
badly hurt.
The mounted officers soon broke up the
procession, and altogether eight arrests
were made.

Man Is Wounded
While Poaching
Near Brussels
Affray Occurs in Park of Chateau de
Bouchout, Where Empress Char
lotte Resides.
TSPECIAL TO THE HERALD.]
Brussels, Sunday.—In the woods of
the Chateau de Bouchot, at Meysse,
near Brussels, where the unfortunate
Empress Charlotte, the widow of the
Emperor Maximilian of Mexico, resides,
a poacher was shot this morning. The
man, whose name is Jacobs, is the ser
vant of the secretary of the Commune
of Meysse and, with two other poachers,
was trespassing upon the estate. The
men had taken some hares and rabbits
when they were surprised by three of
the Empress’ gamekeepers, who at
tempted to arrest them. A struggle
took place, in which Jacobs received two
gunshots, while his accomplices succeed
ed in escaping. Jacobs, who was sev
erely injured, was taken to the hospital
in a desperate condition in a cart drawn,
by dogs.
The Empress, whose mind gave way
when her husband was executed, and
who has never recovered, knows no more
of this drama on the estate than she
does of the new political storm which ia
disturbing Mexico.
GANG OF YOUNG APACHES
ATTACKS WOMEN’S REFUGE,;
Armed Gang Fires Upon Institution ia
Paris Suburb, Enabling Three In
mates to Escape.
The growing menace of the revolver,
in France is illustrated afresh by an
amazing outrage, perpetrated by a band
of armed youths at Bouiogne-sur-Seine,
a suburb of Paris, full details of which
have just been disclosed upon the ar
rest of a number of the young apaches
concerned.
It appears that on Friday night fif
teen young men, all members of a well-
organized criminal association known as
the “Band of the Five Points,” opened
up a desperate fusillade upon the refuge
for women liberated from Saint-Lazare
prison, in the boulevard de Strasbourg,
Boulogne-sur-Seine, and thus enabled
three of the inmates to escape.
The gang assembled outside the re
fuge, says the “Matin,” about seven
o’clock, when a young fellow, who ap
peared to he the leader of the company,
rapidly inspected his men and cried:
“Are you ready?” and a moment later:
“Open fire.”
Revolvers of all kinds and calibres were
instantly drawn, and a volley of scat
tered shots shattered the silence of ths
evening. For several seconds the ban
dits fired a positive hail of bullets,
smashing the windows of the refuge to
pieces and creating the wildest conster
nation among the terrified inmates.
Taking advantage of the general
panic, three of the girls managed to
escape from the institution into the
street. Of these, two, Berthe Faget,
aged fifteen, and Pauline Rouleau, aged
eighteen, went back to their families in
Paris, but the third, Suzanne Bourdon,
who apparently instigated the entire
plot, joined the band of apaches and
fled with them.
Suzanne Bourdon appears to have
paid a terrible price for her escape,
however, for when arrested later by the
police of Boulogne-sur-Seine she con
fessed that she had been taken outside
the fortifications of Paris and there,
near the Porte d’Auteuil, she had been
brutally used by her erstwhile accom
plices. These she then denounced by
name.
With the information thus obtained
the police at once set to work to hunt
down the members of this notorious
hand, with the result that seven arrests
have already been made. These were
not accomplished without great difficulty
however, desperate struggles occurring
in some cases and revolver shots being
exchanged in others.
The names of the seven apaches ar
rested are: Marcel Leblond, Henry Le-
clerc, Gaston Chapuis, Andre Munier
and Albert Aurosseau, all aged nine
teen ; Edouard Dommergue, aged seven
teen, and Lucien Poitreneau, aged eigh
teen. All seven had five black dots
tatooed between the thumb and index
finger of the right hand, this being the
badge of membership for the “Band of
the Five Points.”
Other arrests are believed to be im
minent.
CHERBOURG “SPY” CASE.
As a result of the investigation of the
life of Eva Homelter, the young Ger
man governess who was recently ar
rested at Cherbourg on a charge of
espionage, it would appear that she was
on friendly terms with a number of
naval officers and petty officers, parti
cularly with those serving in submarines.
She several times expressed a desire to
obtain a situation in a naval officer’s
family at Calais, and obtained many
addresses and introductions in that
town. She is also alleged to have made
friends with several petty officers of the
British squadron which recently visited
Cherbourg, whom she asked to find her
a situation at Dover. It has not yet
been discovered whether Homelter was
actually able to obtain any information
of value to a foreign Power.
