about 8 o'clock. and he was unconscious

Crown Princess from the Crown Prince.
Though he seemingly had genuine ad.
miration for his wife the Prince did
his share of quarrelling, and often tried
to impose his will upon her. but he al,
ways hoped that she would in the end
humble herself.
His attitude recently. until she had
actually gone. appears to have been
that OF disdalnful indifference and dis
belief that she really intended TO carry
out her threats.
The Crown Prlncess's days at Salz-
burg were spent in controversy with
her father and mother. who did not ex-
cuse her for a moment In her mad de-
sire To leave her position and family.
Her brother, Archduke Leopold Ferdi-
nand, took his sisters part. The cir
cumstan ,es OF the Princess's flight are
still obscure here and no further relia-
Bile news is available.
The only fact that seems clear Is that
the King and Crown Prince know where
she Is and are in communication with
her, but 1t is learned that she Is abso-
lutelv intracthble.

The theory that the Crown Princess In
