EULALIESEES THE RACES
The Crowd in the Grand Stand Cheer
the Princess.
A Luncheon Served in the Club House
After Which the 1nfanta Smokes
Cigarette.

NEW YORK, June Princess Eulalie
went to tie races today at Morris park.
People on the grand stand clapped their
hands as she took her seat, but that was
too tame proceeding for the crowd in
front. One loud voiced chap shouted,
'sHooray for the princess.' The crowd
yelled and threw their hats in the air.
The princess was much interested in the
races. Howard Carroll gave her tip on
st. Florian, and acting on her lnstruc-
tons placed $40 on that horse at odds OF
three to one. St. Florian came in
seventh.
President Forbes then invited the party
over to the club house, where an elabor-
ate luncheon was served. the princess
was in good humor and after coffee was
served and the men lit cigars she lit a
cigarette and pulled away in the most
nonchalant manner. A bet was placed
for the princess on the fifth race, and
when Chorister came in the winner 1t
was announced that the princess had
won 800 and had prese lted it to the
Catholic orphan asylum.
| Commander Davis wrote a lengthy let
| ter to Mrs. Potter Palmer of Chicago, to-
| day, in which he gave explicit instrnc-
tions as to how the infanta should be re-
ceived IN Chicego.
The princess and suite dined this even

residence. The company was notable

Among the guests were Archbishop

Ex- Vice President Morton, Ex-S Secretary

He Declines to Say Anything at All Upon
the Matter
A HERALD reporter called on Mr.. Wal
tenspiel at his room opposite the theatre
last night. The gentleman had retired,
but admitted the reporter, who handed
the telegram and asked for some informa-
ton of his wife and the causes which
might have impelled her to attempt
suicide. After reading the dispatch. Mr..
Waltenspiel said emphatically,
81 haven't anything at all to say.''
tsMrs. Waltenspiel formerly resided
here with you, did she not?'
''She did, but | have nothing to say
about the matter, that's all.
Mr.. Waltenspiel came here from Mis-
souri, some three years ago, and has been
successfully engaged in business ever
since. With his wife he resided in apart
ments over the store, on First Sou tn
street. The lady is about 80 years of age,
and they have no children. A gentleman
who is acquainted with both parties, and
who visited at their house while Mrs.
Waltenspiel resided here, stated to
a reporter that their domestic
life appeared to be happy, al
though he thought that under the
surface there was considerable friction.
Mrs. Waltenspiel, he stated, had not been
away from ealt Lake more than month
| and it is supposed that she went directly
| to her former home. The lady was well
known here, and the news of her at
| tempted suicide will create much sur
prise among her acquaintance. Why
| she should have assumed the name o.
Elizabeth Owens no one knows.

MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR.
Mrs. Elizabeth WaltenspiePs Strange
Action at st. Louis.
She Is Found in a Room at the Avenue
Hotel in an Unconscious Condition
Her Husband Is Seer But He
Refuses to Talk.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, June 1.-LSpecial. i
Mrs. Elizabeth Waltenspeil, alias Mrs.
Elizabeth Owens, attempted suicide here
today. On Tuesday last a lady about
medium height, with petite figure, dressed
neatly in black and having no grip or
baggage of any kind, entered the Avenue
hotel, formerly the old Richelieu, at
Fourteenth street and Washington
avenue, and registered under the name
of Elizabeth Owens of Salt Lake city,
Utah. -
She was assigned to room No. 115 and
no particular attention was paid to her
until yesterday afternoon, when she rang
the bell of the room and complained of
being sick. DIR. Dorsett was summoned
and prescribed for her, after which he
left. This morning the chambermald on
that floor tried the door of the room bnt
found it locked. She thought the woman
was sleeping and did not disturb her.
About 1 O'Clock this afternoon, how
ever, when she had not made her ap-
pearance and the door of the room was
still locked, the girl informed the clerk
and together they forced open the door,
and the woman was found lying on the
bed in an unconscious condition. An
ambulance was summoned from the city
dispensary where she was conveyed as
rapidly as possible.
DIR. Fitzpatrick, who was in charge, al
once pronounced her sickness to be due to
an overdose of morphine. He applied
the stomach pump and succeeded in re.
lieving her to such an extent t. at she re-
gained consciousness and was able to
answer any questions put to her. Slit
was inclined to be very reticent.
After saying that her name was Eliza
beth Owens and that she was 81 years o
age, she insisted that she had not taker
morphine or poison of any kind, but de-
clined to state what had made her 80 sick
DR.. Fitzpatrick said after examining tn
contents of her stomach that she had IN.
doubtedly taken morphine. He says tina
she will recover.
A man by the name of Owens, repre-
senting himself to be her husband, dice
here May IS. It is now said that tn
couple was an clipping one, and that tn,
woman is the wife prominent Salt LAX
merchant named Wsltenspiel. She frs
met Owens, who was medium, at
Iseance and became infatuated with him

4 NILWAUKEEBANk FAILS.
The Plankinton Is Compelled to
Close It's Doors.
CAUSE OF THE FAILURE,
1t Is Largely Due to the Lappel
Assignment.
The Merchants National Bank of Tacoma
suspends Payment-It Was dhe Oldest
Bank in That City-Cause, Stringency
of the Money Market.

MILWAUKEE,, June 1.-The Plankinton
bank has failed. The bank opened at
the usual hour, but five minutes later
William Plankinton, the vice-president,
appeared and at once the following notice
was posted and the doors closed: COW
ing to the failure of our efforts to reor-
ganize the bank and the continual with
drawal OF deposits we have thought 1T
best for the interest OF all depositors and
stockholders to close the bank
There was no regular run on the bank
of late. Since the scare two weeks ago,
however, the large depositors who did
not take part in the run at that time have
been steadily withdrawing their accounts,
and transferring them TO other banks.
The suspension is largely due to the
failure of F. A. Lappen & Co., and the
Lappen Furniture company, two weeks
ago, with liabilities that will probably
amount to three quarters of million.
The Lappen firms, as far as claims are
received, owe the Plankinton bank 1913,
600 in Lappen personal notes, which are
considered practically worthless. How
| Lappen succeeded in placing the bank in
| the position it finds itself is a mystery.
| He secured loan after loan of SIG, QUO each
even alter common rumor said that Lap
pen was not wholly sound. Many sensa-
tional rumors are in circulation regard
| ing the matter. The capital stock of the
bank is $500, 600.
| Lappin' S inventory was finished yester--
day evening" and the poor showing of
assets made by it settled the bank.
Plan kinton's recorded claims against
the Lappen business aggregated S219, 600,
and the claims which take precedence OF
Plankinton's are $55, 600.
| The inventory of Lappen s stock shows
total of only sos, 600, allowing for sat-
| isfaction of claims but $153 600 toward
making good the Plankinton claim.
Piankinton's principal correspondents
abroad are with the the National Bank OF
the Republic and United States National
bank of New York, and Continental Ma
tional OF Chicago. The condition OF its
business with these concerns is said to be
! bad.

| Plankinton this afternoon. He was

81, SOC, 0O0 Bondsmen are John l..
Mitchell, Charles Ray and David Fergu-
son. According to the bond the bank
assets are 81, 800, 600. With the failure o.

Four Missionaries Attacked Near
Pinckney, Alabama.
PUBLIC MEETING STOPPED.
A Mob OF Fifty Armed Men Surround
Their Temporary Home.
Their Protector Parieys With the Mob
The Elders Escape, But Are Pur-
sued apc, 1t Is Said, Were
Captured.

ATLANTA, Ga, June Especial. IA
sensational story comes from Pinekney,
Ala, concerning the probable lynching
OF four Mormon elders who have been do
ing missionary work among the noun
tains of the northern part OF that state.
The scene of the troubleis in St. Clair
county, and the Mormons seem to have
been working in Etowat, Blount and st.
Clair counties for some time past.
A few days ago two of the elders, Ben
f. Ilebaron, of Arizona, and Michael W.
Miller, of Colorado, were billed to address
the people at the Ferguson school house.
There had been good deal of opposition
to the men in the community, bus it did
not assume shape till the night OF the
speaking.
That night mob of the tougher ele-
mens gathered about the building and
swore there should be no speaking. They
were armed, and for time it looked as II
there would be serious trouble at the
school house, but finally Mr.. FL. o. Battle,
a prominent FARMER of the neighborhood,
took the two men under protection and
took them to his home.
The other elders joined them there the
next day and there were Alonzo Brinker-
hoff of Utah and A. M. Borden of Idaho.
The next night the house was surrounded
by an armed mob. It is estimated there
were fifty men in the crowd and all were
armed to the teeth. A demand was made
for the elders. Mr.. Battle refused to give
them up or to allow the mob to search his
home. Standing IN the door with a SIX
shooter in his hand he swore he would
kill the first man who attempted to enter
and the mob knew he meant what he said
At the approach of the mob the foul
elders had made their escape from the
house and while Mr.. Battle was keeping
the crowd at bay they We're driving as fas
as they knew how towards a place
of safety. Finally an examination OF the
house was permitted. When the moi
found that the Mormons had gone they
were mad indeed. There was but on,
road they could have taken, and th'
crowd started in pursuit. The telegram
from Pinckney tells the rest in this way
ave haven't heard whether they over
took them or not, but we heard the re
port of guns after dark. About fourteen
shots were fired. If they found tn,
preachers they were no doubt mobbed.'

TACOMA, Wash, June 1.-The Mer-

ing institution in this city, suspended
payment temporarily this morning. A
notice on the door states this action was

association yesterday issued the follow
ing notice:
Towing to the disauieting rumors in

Merchants National bank, this associa-
ton has resolved to protect depositors if
necessary
Officers of the bank say the suspension
is due to unexpected demands of their
New York correspondent, the Chase

ness. The total liabilities are said to be
5000 GOO; assets, 81 900, 900.

measures. Mr.. Newman refused to state
who his clients are, or to specify the
grounds of dissatisfaction.
President Greenhut, when told OF the
matter said that at the meeting held a

same people. employing Newman. He
knew nothing more about the matter.
