Workings of German Syndicate
Organized to Capture Amer
can Heiresses Revealed
POOR NoBLEMEN SEMITIC STATES
Bankrupt Barons Financed for Journ-
eys to United States With Object of
Securing Rich Wives, on Agreement
to Divide Wife's Dover When 1t Shall
Come Into Their Possession.

Berlin, Nov. THE workings of the
so-called German marriage syndicate
and the relations of Baron Burchard
Won MuenchhauSen to the matrimonial
combine that financed his journey to the
United States in 1898 to obtain rich
wife, have been disclosed thru prose-
cution for blackmail brought by the
baron against Hermann Pincus, Morltz
Mendelssohn and Adolf Mendelssohn,
three tradesmen, who were members OF
the syndicate. The trial has just come
to its close.
Baron Won Muenchhausen is MEM
Der of famous German family when
dates from 1887. The testimony showed
that an ex-conyict named Eissler, living
in Stuttgart, telegraphed to Frau Won
Outflow, a noblewoman residing in Ber-
lin who undertakes to obtain wealthy
wives for army officers, saying that II
she had a titled officer on active serv-
ice for an American fortune of $780,
600 to let him know. Frau Won Outflow
nut Eissler in communication with
lieutenant in the Prussian artillery
The baron, according to statement
made in court, agreed to give Eissler 3
per cent of the money OF the heiress ne
was to wed, in the event OF the mar
riage taking place. and he signed cond-
tional bills for SST5.000. On these bills
Eissler raised money in Berlin from
numerous group of persons, which IN
cluded Pincus and the two Menhels-
sohns, and Baron Won Muenchhausen
was provided with the cash with which
he paid the expenses of his journey to
the United States.
Eisslers partner in this adventure
was lady's maid who had been for
merly in the service of the rich Ameri-
can woman referred to by Eissler. She
preceded the baron to the United States
TO negotiate the marriage, but her eff
forts were not successful. The name of
the heiress in question was not dis
closed in court
Baron Won Muenchhausen did make
the acquaintance while in the united
States of Martha Washington Breckel,
widow of moderate wealth, whom, ac-
cording to the German peerage, he mar
ried on Dec. 90, 1898. Since his mar
rlage the baron has been living with his
wife on his estate near Schwobler, Han
over.
On his return to Germany Baron Won
Muenchhausen had to reckon with the
holders of his bills. A compromise was
negotiated with Pincus and the Men
delssohns. who surrendered his paper
ION the payment of comparatively small
sums Baron Won Muenchhausen after
ward accused these men for blacknail
and the matter was thus brought into
court. Pincus and the Mendelssohns
were acquitted of the charge.

: Important Decisions
BIBLE IN SCHOOLS.

On Oct 9th the supreme court OF Ne
braska handed down an opinion prohib-
iting the reading of the .,iDle, etc., in
the public schools. The action was
brought by Daniel Freeman, an atheist.
The court said in part: "Exercises by a
teacher in a public school building, in
school hours, and in the presence of the
pupils, consisting of the reading of pas
sages from the Bible and in the sing
ing of songs and hymns and offering
prayer to the Deity in accordance with
the doctrines, beliefs, customs or US
ages Of sectarfan churches or religious
organizations, is forbidden by the CON-
stitution of the state.
PORTO RICANS ARE ALIENS.
In recent case that came before
Federal Judge Lacombe it was held that
a Porto Rican is an alien. It appears
that Isabella Gonzales, an unmarried
woman of Porto Rico, was, upon her
recent arrival from Porto Rico. exclud-
ed from the country by the immigration
authorities on the ground that she was
liable to become a public charge. She
took out a writ of habeas corpus alleg-
ing that she was a United States citi-
zen. The writ was dismissed, Judge
Lacombe holding that native Porto Ri
cans had not become naturalizad by the
following act Of congress fixing their
civil rights: "All the inhabitants con-
tinuing to reside therein who were
Spanish subjects on the 18th day of
April, 1899. and then resided in Porto
Rico, and their children born subse-
quent thereto, shall be deemed and held
to be citizens of Porto Rico, and as such
entitled to the protection of the United
States Except such as had preserved
their allegiance to SPAIN, and they, to-
gether with such citizens of the United
States as may reside In Porto Rico,
shall continue a body polite under the
name of the people of Porto Rico with
governmental powers as hereinafter
conferred"
INSURANCE POLICIES.
A clause in fire insurance policy
providing that 1t shall be void IF me-
chanics be employed in building, alter
premises for more than fifteen DAYS at
any one time" unless otherwise pro-
vided by agreement, is reasonable and
valid. Under such clause work done
on an insured building In rubbing and
polishing the woodwork, regilding light
fixtures, reburnishing, plumb'ngan d re-
pairing defects in the plastering and
scouting, is repairing" and it's con-
tinuance for twenty-four days without
notice to the company, prior to the de-
struction of the building by fire, rem
dered the policy void. lit Federal Rep.

Much Interest Manifested in
What Roosevelt Will Say
on Trust Question
WILL RECOMMEND LEGISLATION
President viii Probably Ask That the
Sherman Act Be So Strengthened as
to Be Made Effective-cabinet Meet
ing Today viii Discuss the Presi-
dents Forthcoming Message.

Washington, Nov. 1.-THE cabinet
will reassemble today, after vacation
of several months, and, as the president
is preparing to leave the city again for
a two weeks absence, he will at this
meeting discuss the various questions
that will take prominence in his annual
message to congress. The republican
victory of Tuesday was SO closely iden-
tilted with the president as an indorse-
ment of his administration, that it is
impossible to ignore public sentiment
in favor Of his former recommendation
for some amendment to the Sherman
anti trust law.
President Roosevelt, in his first mes
sage to congress, made earnest recon-
mendations that the Sherman law be so
amended as to reach the most aggra-
waiting evils of trust organization, and
at the same time he directed his attor-
ney general to begin proceedings
against the trusts that were believed
to be violating the Sherman law. The
president is convinced that the Ameri-
can people demand some new legisla-
ton in regard to the trusts, and he will
not only renew the recommendations
made ia his message last year, but viii
emphasize them and place such recon-
mendations first in his message. 1t is a
question of such vital Importance that
he does not believe congress should de-
lay action beyond the point of finding
a safe method of amending the law and
keeping within the limits of its consti-
tutional power.
Attorney General Knox has given
close attention to this subject for many
months, and he is convinced that con-
gress has power to extend the Sherman
act SO as to reach the worst evils of
trust organization. In his great speech
at Pittsburg, Oct. IA, Attorney General
Knox said that the regulation by con-
gress would indirectly affect produce
ton. but that could be considered no
bar to such legislation.
Congress under this power prevents
the importation or transportation of
articles deemed injurious to the general
welfare" said the attorney general.
Thus the laws subject the movement
Of explosives to safeguards and bur-
dens, absolutely excludes impure liter

vents or checks many foreign and in
terstate movements, turnout the entire

tercourse, in the interest of all the peo-
pie on grounds of commercial, hygienic,
or ethical policies.
who shall set limits now in advance
of a carefully framed and judicially
tested law, to the competence of con-
gress to regulate commerce in the way
suggested in the exercise of legislative
wisdom and in the wide discretion con-
fided to 1t? Who shall say that the
power of congress does not extend SO
far. I think it does. / am quite sure
no one can now say that it does not"

that congress can amend the Sherman
law SO as to require publicity and pre-

Rhyme of the Country Road.

Oh, the life one leads a-tramplng-
Trqmping country road!
A-farins in gypsy fashion,
With never a gypsy's load;
Set free as the winds in springtime'
Heart glad as the day is long,
Rejoicing in rain or sunshine,
In tune with The robins song.
Oh the things one sees a-tramping,
The green, wild things that grow
The CLEAN of the tall, red lily,
The tangle of ferns below;
The gay, glad life Of the treetops,
The shadows that slowly fail,
The long, still slope of the meadows
And Gods sky over all!
oh, the things one hears a-tramplng'
The whisper of woodland trees
The call of hidden brooklet,
The murmur of sleepy bees,
The distant roll of the thunder,
The drip of the silver ran,
The sta tled rush of squirrel,
Then robin d note again!
Oh the things one feels a-tramping,
The joy of the country road.
A-fsrsng in gypsy fashion,
Win never gypsy load;
Delight In the world of beauty,
A Rap, are OF love and praise.
And q VIII to make life the truer
For this glory of common days.
