PRINCESS LEAVES
HER FAMILY
Disappearance of Louise An
toinette Of Saxony, Causes =.
Great Excitement.
CAUSE YET A MYSTERY
Wife of Grown Prince Sud-
denly Vanished From Pal
ace While at Salzburg
Leaving No CleW.

DRESDEN, Saxony, Dec. -23.-Th'
crown princess of Saxony fed from he
home during the night of Dec. 11-12
The Dresden Journal says:
'The princess, in state of intense
mental excitement, suddenly deserted
her family at Salzburg and went
abroad. The Saxon court functions fol
the winter, including the New Years
reception, have been Cancelled"
The foregoing paragraph in the off
cial journal, which was inserted by or.
der Of the king and crown prince Of
Saxony, has turned into truth what for
several days past has been regarded as
an incredible tale. The crown princess
of Saxony, surrounded by her ladies' in
waiting and numerous attendants and
servants Of the royal household, has
vanished SO utterly that the police Of
every kingdom of Europe have for ten
days been Bile to trace her.
The above official announcement was
made in order to obtain the aid of the
general public in finding the princess
and because the court fiction that she
preferred to remain in retirement at
Salzburg rather than to return to her
husband and children at Dresden can
not longer be maintained.
The narrative Of the events at SalZ-
burg during the night of Dec 11-l2, as
told in Dresden. is that the princess,
who appeared to be in an unusually
tranquil mood, retired after the music
in the saloon before II o'clock. Three
hours later when a maid looked into
the royal bedchsmber something in
the appearance Of the bed prompted
her to go closer and examine it. In
stead of the princess the maid per-
ceived dummy figure. She awakened
the lady in waiting, and the latter,
with other members of the princess
suit searched all the neighboring apart.

disappearance, and inquiries were
made throughout the whole country
side, but with no tangible result. A
number of what had seemed TO be
traces Of the princess were shown to
be without foundation upon careful ex-
animation by the police.
The theory Of suicide was suggested,
and fruitless search for the princess
body has been made All the ponds
and other pieces Of water in the vicn-
ity of the castle have been dragged
without result.
The disappearance Of the princess
will doubtless cause the circulation of
many stories. 1t is already related
that she elopcd, but inquiries made here
have brought out nothing to substan.
tiate or support this suppostion.

Complaint Against Southern R'y OF

Complaint Against Southern R7y OF
Discrimination in Supplying Cars.
WASHINGTON, December zs.-R. I.
Austin. Of Knoxville, Tenn. trading as
the Live and Let Live Coal Company
which company. he states, was formed
to supply coal to the poor. and whose
profits are devoted to the Knoxville Wo-
mems Christian Association for the poor
has filed a complaint with the Interstate
Commerce Commission. alleging that the
Southern railway is discriminating In
the supply of cars for the coal trade. Mr..
Austin says his company's charges are
greatly below the extortionate prices
per ton exacted by the other coal deal
ers of Knoxville, and that these dealers
have formed a combination and fixed a
schedule of prices. and agreed not to sell
below this schedule" The complaint al
leges that in furnishing cars for the
transportation of coal from the mines
at Je.lico Tenn, to Knoxville and other
points on the Southern and connecting
lines. the defendant company is discrimi-
mating against the complainant. the con-
su1ners, and the city of Knoxville ITSELF
and that the railroad company is legally
required to furnish the complainant with
sufficient cars to enable it to do business
and compete on equal terms with other
established coal dealers in Knoxville. An
investigation is asked for.
