WHO BLACKED WILLIAMS EYE7
Labouohere on the Recent ''Drown-
insx,l of Ilautanant Vnn Rahnka.

ing'' Of Lieutenant Won Hahnke.
London. Sept. 8.-Mr. Henry Labou-
chere, in Truth, renews the mysterious
hints which have been in circulation
since the death of Lieutenant Won
Hahnke. of the German navy, son Of
General Won Hahnke, chief Of Emperor
Williams military cabinet. who met
his death by drowning In July last while
accompanying his majesty on his trip
to the Northland on board the imperial
yacht Hohenzollsrn. In doing so Mr..
Labouchere once more publishes the In
timation that the lieutenants death
was a sequel to the black eye which
the emperor received about that time.
According to one story the black eye
was caused by q blow from a rope
which was being whirled about by the
wind. Another story has 1t that the
emperor SO eoarsely abused Lieutenant
Won Hahnke that the latter committed
suicide Finally, still another version
of the affair Is that the lieutenant
stung by the emperors sharp words,
resented them to the extent of backing
his majesty's eye and then took his
own life.
brief, seems to be that Lieutenant Won
Hahnke, who was accompanied by
brother officer accidentally ran into
the River Grondalselyv on his bicycle
while trying to avoid collision with
shying pony. The river, it is further ex-
planned, Is raging torrent, from which
escape is impossible.
Mr.. Labouchere says: ION the day
following Won Hahnke's death adummy
figure of the same size and weight was
tossed into the torrent in order to test
its effect. The dummy was torn to
pieces, and everybody agreed that Won
Hahnke's body must have met sim
liar fate. Yet. since the appearance OF
Truths remarks 1t is announced from
Berlin that the body has been recov-
cred after being six weeks in the raging
torrent"
