SAXON PEOPLE
PR0TESTANTS
The Dynasty Is Catholic and
There Is Much Talk.
STATEMENT BEING PREPARED
CROWN PRINCESS WILL GET ALL
THE BLAME.

Berlin, Dec. 30.-King George of
Saxony has ordered the preparation of
a full, official account of the elopement
of the Crown Princess Louise and the
circumstances leading up to it for the
Saxons, among whom the most fan
tastical stories are in circulation to the
cetriment of the royal people, especial
~ with reference to the future king.
The scandal is undermining. according
to some opinions, the peoples loyalty
and respect for the throne. The dy-
nasty being Catholic and the people
Protestant. the affair is being utilized
for sectarian controversy. The kings
statement, doubtless, will follow the
line indicated in the intimations sup
piled to the newspapers having court
leanings, published today, affirming
that the crown princess sole reason for
clipping was her criminal relations with
Professor Giron and that documentary
proofs have been found showing that
the elopement had long been in prepar-
alton. The stories of i'll treatment on
the part of her husband. of oppressive
court ceremonial and of her fettered
existence are classed as inventions.
The crown princess own account of
the immediate cause OF her fight from
Salzburg, written to an intimate friend,
presumably the Princess Therez of Ba-
varia, was telegraphed from Munich
TINS morning. II says ner Iatner, the
grand duke of Tuscany, intended to i'm
prison his daughter either in a lunatic
asylum or in an Italian convent. He
already had consulted the court physi-
clan and several medical authorities in
Vienna with the object of obtaining GER
tificates warranting him in shutting
her up. Her father, the crown princess
adds. was giving her no time for de-
liberation. He demanded, first, that
she be taken under guard to Dresden.
TO apologize to the crown prince. and
that she then choose between confine-
nent in a convent or in madhouse.
The crown princess asks the Bavarian
court to use it's influence with the court
at Dresden TO permit her children to
choose their vocation in life freely.
Professor Surschmann of Leipsic has
been called here for consultation with
the court physicians regarding the
kings condition, which gives much
concern TO his family. Although dag
nosed as influenza, his majesty's con-
dition has grown steadily worse dur
ing the last few days, due to excite
ment over the eIopement of the crown
princess. which, in connection with his
great age and weakness, has had a de-
pressing effect on the kings mental
condition.

DR.. PAYNE'S LETTERS
Some Of Those Found in HIS Or
fee Bearing on crimi-
nal Practice.

Councilman Fernstrom. speaking for
his resolutions against the newspapers
Monday night, said he had made close
investigation and had discovered. and
stood ready to prove" that only two
letters OF a questionable description
were found in the Office of DR.. Z. s.
Payne after his arrest.
AS TO what actually took place in
the Office of DR.. Payne while the Do-
lice We're investigating, here is the
story of The Herald reporter. and it
is corroborated. in every important de-
Isil. by Officers Chase. Gillespie and
Barlow. who were the only Others pres
ent:
The officers went into every nook
and corner OF the two dingy rooms
looking for evidence. They gathered
up a large number CT instruments, all
of which. they claimed, were OF the
class used in criminal operations, and
a large number of bottles and small
vials. They We're getting ready TO
leave. when, at the suggestion of the
reporter, they stopped to consider the
doctors mail. The outside room was
literally filed with letters and papers
When no other spot remained in which
TO place them, the doctor had showed
the envelopes carelessly= between the
books in his library and some of the
letters so found were opened.
The first communication read was
from young woman in Nephi. The
second was from a woman in this city.
The third was written by a profess
siOnal man in logan regarding a wO-
man. Another was from a girl. who
had not signed her name to the let
ter. but had enclosed a seIf-addressed
and stamped envelope for the doctor to
use. The envelope was not found Still
another missive came from a Davis
county girl, either from Bountiful or
Pennington. and yet another was from
a woman in Eureka.
These are a few that are distinctly
remembered, all being practically
alike. and after reading for a while,
Detective Gillespie remarked: We
won't waste any more time reading
them; We'll take the whole lot over TO
the station
And saying this. with officer Bar
low, the detective bundled up many let
tiers, including those enumerated, and
others in feminine handwriting. and
took them to the station. They were
locked in the safe there and, accord
ing to Captain Burbidge. neither
Councilman Fernstrom nor any other
person has had access to them. They
are held for the inspection of the
county attorney, in case he should
desire to use any of them as evidence.
If Councilman Fernstrom can prove
that only two such letters were
found in the Office, then il is because
some have been removed from the
police station or destroyed, which IS
extremely improbable. As matter of
TACT. there are still a large number of
letters in DR.. Payne'S Office that have
not been read, unless by the investi-
eating councilman.

members excepting Secretary Shaw, who
is in New Y ork. were present. The preSl-

lions upon the results of the past years
administration and looked forward with
hope To the new. year.
Secretary Hay had little news to present
to the cabinet regarding Venezuelan mat
tiers or other matters relating to foreign
affairs. It is UNDERSTOOD to be the hope
and expectation of the president and his
advisers that upon the receipt of Presi-
dent Castro's reply to the arbitration
proposition the allies will agree to raise
the blockade established by them over
Venezuelan ports. Such action. IN the
view OF this government, would place tho
questions in controversy in excellent
shape for arbitration.
Secretary Moody and Postmaster Gen
eral Payne brought to the attention of
the cabinet some matters relating TO their
departments, but they were of such a
nature that no announcements were made
concerning them.
: Affairs relating to the land office were
